Purify does NOT belong on here. To quote its description on hearthpwn "This card was the ultimate underdog story. Regarded originally as the worst card in the game, but over time, it rose from the ashes and became a staple for Silence Priest. In fact, it was this card and minions like Humongous Razorleaf that made this card actually viable."
silence priest was pretty good, and purify was a major part of it. Purify has its uses.
Purify was only good because Blizzard felt attacked by the players and printed some broken cards to support the Silence Priest.
@@kristiankrastanov5995 ok
@@kristiankrastanov5995 Except none of the cards in Silence Priest were broken, not in the overpowered way. Most of the cards were in fact complete memes that were unplayable on their own in most other decks. They just so happened to combo extremely well together in that one specific deck that was very fun to play.
Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright
Pretty solid list and I agree with a good chunk of it, but definitely not all. Millhouse Manastorm has actually seen top tier play, Paladin cheated it out with Call to Arms specifically because of how huge it was for a 2 drop. Silithid Swarmer saw use in Rogue. Purify was put into some legitimate Priest decks, alongside Inner Fire and cards with attack restrictions. There are a couple other ones I'd argue against, but I think it's fair to call those picks objectively incorrect since they've all seen competitive play at some point, although I know it's hard to keep track of every meta for a game that's been around this long. Also personally found the "this expansion was powerful, but a few cards were weak" repetition unnecessary and kind of grating, but I did like the brief recaps of each expansion and enjoyed the video overall!
I agree with you. He's being so redundant in his speech...
Also always saying "this card never saw any play" or "I never saw this card and didn't even know it existed" while I myself played 80% of them and saw plays of most of the rest... This person must not have played Hearthstone too much I guess.
I still got the nostalgia I came for with this video though.
It’s cool seeing you here
Recruit was added a long time after Millhouse
Wait you like hearthstone? Sick
Jesus love you, God bless and protect!
I need a video essay on how Duskfallen Aviana is better than Deadly Arsenal.
This the realest comment
Duskfallen Aviana, the card whose text should really just say "Battlecry: Lose the game"?
at least with deadly arsenal you could stick a gorehowl or something in your deck and use it as a board wipe
As a former silence priest player purify was a great card. Silence a big "can't attack" minion early game, and cycle through your deck at the same time, helped make that deck viable.
He's a youtuber, what are you expecting? Researched content?
Silithid Swarmer was definitely played in rogue.
Was it? I remember it was pretty good in arena, but i don't think i ever saw it on ladder
@@leonjakobsen272 when DH came to HS, Odd DH was tier 1 in wild, and many lists played Silithid Swarmer... 3 mana 3/5 was good at that time and as Odd DH you attack every turn with the broken hero power.
Frozen crusher was almost auto-pick in the arena! Purify was in silence priest and he was solid tier-2 deck (I still had flashbacks). Blood herald was good at the arena too and saddlemaster too. Blizz like to print cards valuable for the arena.
looked for this comment. Crusher was a powerhouse in arena, still a consideration to this day.
He's a youtuber, what are you expecting? Researched content?
Dreaded mount, really? It is not that bad, worst card from stormwind is two faced investor for sure...
Ah yes, the embodiment of "Stonks - Not Stonks"
So, in summation, you kind of missed the ball here, most players, myself included, that played during those expansions, know that most of the cards mentioned were not bad, just niche, and fit into specific decks. I understand that you’re a newer player and just by looking at the cards without context they do seem weak but they were far from it.
Good quality vid, needed a bit more research.
Agreed, for example I had vivid spores in my deck back in day at top 100-200 legend
He claims to have played since the beginning.
@@barethor5869 he has talked about playing since release but he has had to craft so many cards for his "challenges." He has definitely not played since the beginning
@@Ravoks Or he is dusting old cards he doesn't use so he can craft the new cards or cards he needs for his challenges.
@@barethor5869 For some of the challenges like the Lego Weps or Lego Hero cards from KFT, he had to literally craft each one..... He would have had no reason to craft every single one if he has been playing some the start.
murloc warlock was actually an extremely meta deck in beta and vanilla hearthstone
Came here to say exactly this honestly. Murloc Warlock used to be one of the greatest tempo-aggressive decks in the game, fueled by Warlock's powerful Hero Power. Very strong deck to start with!
He's a youtuber, what are you expecting? Researched content?
The visuals on this video are incredible. You forgot to include the worst card ever: Duskfallen Aviana (Druid Legendary)
All these visuals are from expansion videos. Maybe you should go back and watch those :)
You remember duskfallen Aviana? But not the “visuals” of the expansion trailer vid she was released in?
Wasn't Aviana a necessary part of an OTK deck that led to Aviana getting nerfed?
@@nathaeladalyah9681 wrong Aviana, mate.
That card is definitely not as bad as Temporus
Expansion based on DnD: “I think it’s a Dark Souls reference.” 🙃
Yeah that one hurt to hear.
Millhouse has seen some play depending on the meta; I'd argue Magma Rager and Succubus are two cards that are boderline unplayable due to their downsides (1 health and the discard).
Also, Rend Blackhand was used by Dragon Priest when that was a thing. Limited pretty much to that specific deck, but it was perfectly playable.
I also played Rend in a dragon Paladin at the time. It was perfectly fine honestly as long as it killed something with the battlecry.
@@TrixyTrixter Rend was the MVP lategame against anything big your enemy still had in hand. Removal and trades with possibly anything your opponent STILL has? Yes pls. Incredible card, in the right deck way better than The Black Knight, which was a staple tech back then.
Silithid Swarmer is definitely not the worst card. It’s even one of the better cards. It saw play in wild odd rogue and odd DH
Tf is going on in silver 10
@@alphamindset5592 when DH came to HS, Odd DH was tier 1 in wild, and many lists played Silithid Swarmer... 3 mana 3/5 was good at that time and as Odd DH you attack every turn with the broken hero power.
@@kristiankrastanov5995 i know ive just never saw it get played ever. Maybe in lower ranks it was good
Zzzz wild kids
Half of cards mentioned are actually good. Some of them were 2 good and had to be removed from arena. Sad list.
It's obvious Rarran never plays arena, half of this list are monster arena cards
Yeah I just wanted to say the same
Dude I finally lost it when he said purify was bad. Silence priest was a borderline tier 1 deck for a whole ass expansion.
None of the cards on this list were removed from Arena for being too good.
What? What cards were removed from being too good? Can you show me when they did it?
3:41 the funny thing is that Seadevil Stinger is really powerful in Wild now with the release of Gigafin in the last expansion, cheating out an 8 mana Colossal Murloc on turn 4 is really powerful
3 mana 3/4 that gives you unlimited beasts sounds like it probably was a top tier arena card. That's probably the only card in the list that screamed amazing to me. Gone are the classic days when a 3 mana 3/4 didn't even exist yet.
Gargoyle was a good target for inner fire priest. Good buff target.
@@What-fv1yl It was broken in the single player. It was garbage in real games, though.
swarmer was played a bit in rogue
and purify was good in priest for a good while
it was a T2 deck
yeah purify was an important part of silence priest in that meta
I remember back then, old cards, especially Legendaries, used to suck even more due to the lack of dupe protection.
Getting 5 Bolf Ramshields in an opening was the worst and most hilarious thing ever. It was a meme dream.
4:08 Frozen crusher saw pretty decent play in arena and I even saw some silence priests using this at the start of ungoro, had good combos with sunfury protector or silence
Rarran I actually disagree with your Stormwind pick. I think Two-Faced Investor is one of the most pathetic card I've ever seen. Definitely even worse than the caravans.
EDIT: oh, also the worst card in Boomsday was Harbinger Celestia and the worst card in Witchwood was Duskfallen Aviana
all good to disagree thats half the fun!
@@Rarran Yeah man for sure. I just subbed to you btw! I appreciate the effort you put into your content. I'm glad you've been experiencing decent growth on your channel lately. Cheers!
I know saying "I think Toothy Chest" is a dark souls reference was probably just for the memes, but I still got a good laugh out of it.
Imagine not knowing the RPG trope of Mimics in the RPG trope set Kobolds and Catacombs, a literal riff on Dungeons and Dragons.
That feeling when you don't draw any of your hard counters after your opponent drops a 15/15 Blood Herald in arena...
purify is unironicly one of my favorite cards, silence priest was the first deck i hit legend with so it will always hold a place in my heart
Zayle was awesome ! It was like whizbang but it targeted the classes associated with the league of evil. Good decks at the time.
I unpacked 3 Bolff Ramshields and no other legendaries out of 80 packs on TGT launch day. Suffice it to say, Bolff is not a card I remember fondly.
I feel like a lot of the cards u mentioned in this video actually were not "worst card".
Most of em weren't, this video feels like he either didn't give a shit or he actually never played more then 5 games in most of the earlier metas
Great video!
I have to disagree on Purify. Didn't that see some fringe play in those Humongous Razorleaf decks?
It was a meta deck at on point
And "silence priest" That 3/4 that can't attack? and other cards. But yeah on its own, terrible.
@@blindey it's 4/5 most card need support to be good
a lot of rouge card would be terrible without Shadow Sept you don't see people saying oh question rogue is terrible
the card is weak on it's own
purify played a key part in that deck and there for the game is good
Love the vids Rarran but IMO you're dead wrong about Kobold Taskmasker... very underrated card that can allow a Priest to have an attacking 15/15 minion on the board on turn 4 ;)
For the first couple expansions, Warlock was actually the only class that could reasonably play murlocs. Murlocs had a really low curve and no class synergies, so Warlock was the best fit due to life tap.
I'm struggling to remember if any other class managed to play murlocs in a meta deck. I think Shaman may have worked because he had the best tools for buffing small minions, but Warlock definitely worked best.
Purify was in a very good priest deck that killed you on turn 4 sometimes. It was a silence priest. When purify was released, everyone did think it was garbage though...definitely was NOT.
Blood Herald actually won me a game more than once. A staple card in my Unseal the Vault deck My favourite instance was when my opponent had lethal on board and I dropped this 30/30 hoping to psych them out. It worked and they missed lethal, giving me the W.
Millhouse is amazing in decks that can cheat out low cost drops - was great with Call to Arms
The first 3 of 4 are funny due to each being very viable at one point or another. Mill house being a strong recruit minion, stoneskin gargoyle in inner fire priest, and rend black hand being premium removal when legendaries where becoming good. Still a nice video
Looking back at this it felt really funny that gigafin was released, and the jailer after that
It says a lot about power creep when a card like Stablemaster is seen as bad. I remember how people were talking about Spider Tank being amazing in GVG because it was a 3 mana 3/4. Stablemaster is a 3 mana 3/4 with quite a significant upside, and that is apparently seen as bad now
Literally came to the comments to see if anyone said this exact thing. Haven’t played in almost 3 years and played since launch. So thought this video would be a nice nostalgia trip (which it was!) but goddamn seeing a 3 mana 3/4 value generator get the WORST CARD of a set was just baffling lmao
Now this is the type of content that I enjoy. This and commentary videos ala Zeddy. Keep it up 👍🏼
My man's never heard of silence priest :(
3:20 wasn't Purify used for cards like Ancient Watcher in Silence Priest? I wasn't active during this "era", but my friend told me it actually used to be a thing :)
It was, I used to play a ton of purified decks. Lots of fun and not even that bad at the time. At first 'purify' was a meme but it became somewhat viable.
Blood Herald worked well when showing up early in a Hunter deck with plenty of 1/1 beasts and others that have been sacrificed. Two uses of Storm of Locusts and suddenly you have a 5 cost15/15 ready to go.
I do realize that Surrender to Madness was one of the most scuffed cards in the entire game at the time. But when I ran it with zombie resurrect priest it was hilariously broken. Remember that this was a time where you'd be fighting up until 10 mana and control decks were still active. What I would do is find a way to shuffle a bunch cards back into the deck via Spirit of the Dead over the course of the game, and around turn 9-10 I'd play Surrender into Mojomaster Zihi. Then if I was lucky I'd have Bwonsamdi on-hand and fill it with lots of 0 cost minions with +3/+3. It didn't always win but it did spite Mecha'thun players that dominated the scene so it holds a special place in my heart just for that.
Toothy Chest isn't a Dark Souls reference. It's just a mimic. Dark Souls didn't come up with them. They've existed in RPGs and DnD for quite a while, being able to take the shape of ANY inanimate object, but are most commonly found to become chests, due to the huge amount of adventurers going for them, and falling for the trap over and over again due to greed.
fun fact: slithid swarmer sometimes used to see some nieche play in odd rogue/dh
I had a Blood Herald in a hunter and a similar demon hunter deck. I really liked both of those lol
Purify was actually kinda choice during that standard meta. You ran big minions with debilitating effects like this minion cant attack and then you buff them like crazy
-Complain about Blizzard printing bad cards
-Complain about Blizzard's power creep
Pick one.
Millhouse? You mean Powerhouse Manastorm?
Can u do a “best card of each expansion”
Great video
I'm pretty sure I've hit legend with two of these cards - Purify for sure, such an awesome archetype ('unicorn' lol). Rend Blackhand was a really fun meta tech at some point for control mirrors.
And OMG toothy chest is a DnD reference, not a Dark Souls one lol.
Actually, Generous Mummy is real combo card. All you need to do is gift this minion to your opponent (usually by using Brann+Sailas or Warlock's Treachery). It even can survive almost any AoE! I've seen a ton, no - *a ton* of clips working entirely because of that card.
I’m pretty sure the reference for toothy chest is for babbling books ‘ do you wanna cast a spell? I want to cast a spell!’ play sound
Remember that time when Reynad beat Rarran with Millhouse?
Zayle isn't really a pick. It wasn't a meta pick, it was a free card. There are worse cards in that set. Example: Dr. Boom's scheme being a 4 mana gain 1 armor unless you held it all game in which case maybe it becomes a 4 mana gain 20 armor once you've already stabilized and you may as well just win
Ogre Warmaul was a niche card, there were WAY worse cards in GVG
3 mana 3/4 with a possible upside considered as worst card of the set? Holy-moly.
I'm kinda on the same page as you on every card, apart from Ogre Warmaul, it has been played in some aggro warriors in the old times, also, it can't be the worst card when there's Mini-Mage in the same set
War axe was only 2 mana at the time for a 3/2 - ogre warmaul did not see play
How did Two Faced Investor not make the cut for stormwind?
Because he doesn't do his research.
95% sure there was a unicorn deck that used Purify in standard, but since those humble beginnings it has risen to be a staple of silence priest decks everywhere.
Purify saw genuine competitive play tho (silence priest)
I used blood herald a lot in my auto generated demon hunter deck, it usually just burned a removal card and let something else live, but sometimes it won the game in one hit.
Millhouse is the ultimate 2-drop from the “summon a random 2-cost minion” lackey in wild. Pulling that dude when I’m playing rogue is a good way to win on like turn 7
Awesome video, love the new kind of content! Btw, Blood Herald has actually been great in Duels in token DH has it can become massive. It usually has a spot in the starter deck.
i haven’t played hearthstone since like one night in karazhan but i’m addicted to watching these videos about states of the game because it brings me back. early hearthstone days were the SHIT man. hope y’all are doing well
also i think for BRM majordomo executus is an honorable mention. i loved playing him but holy shit did you lose on the spot like 90% of the time ahahaha
edit: AND NAH !! purify was goated in that deck. i played it back in the day. there was a bunch of like, beefy minions (ironically, silithid swarmer might’ve been one of them), that had text like “can’t attack”, but you could silence them, power word: shield, then double their health with that one spell, sometimes twice, and play inner fire, and BAM, 30/30 minion lmao most of the time tho you could do this combo twice and those 14/14s you got pretty easy were hard to deal with.
Really liking these commentary/Hearthstone historian kind of videos. Keep it up!
Purify was actually useful in silence priest, which was, at that time, a pretty good deck after Ungoro was released
As someone who still slots Rend Blackhand into several dragon decks, nobody ever expects it. I tend to sit on it until late game when a legendary is used to respond to my big dragon board. Then I just instagib it and continue on my merry way.
Fire Hawk is useful when I'm discovering elementals against a high hand size deck, but not something I'd main board
Loved this video and idea, maybe try the best card next? Or most overrated/underrated ones? Very interesting tho, keep it up, love it!!
Maybe 👀
I love how "why did they make this" is a valid rank for some cards
If you ever played millhouse at any point vs a mage, you had a deathwish.
The naxx gargoyle is actually really useful. Not for ladder, but for all the themed content and some of the brawls
Ahhh, purify. It brought us such moments as Firebat's "GET FUK'T, IDIOT", truly a certified hood classic
Reminds me of the Purify parody video with Kripp, still great to this day.
In my experience “which is a lot” Firehawk is amazing in arena if hit on 3 it’s nasty
Tooth Chest is a Dungeons and Dragon reference to a monster called a Mimic that can disguise itself as mundane objects
This video's the first time I've ever seen Saddlemaster and I've playing Hearthstone for a year now.
Kobolds and Catacombs.
Toothy Chest.
"Dark Souls reference"
Great video Rarran! A suggestion for you though. Some of the cards you read the card text and others you just said were bad without reading what they did. Sometimes I like to watch while doing other things and it would be nice if you explained what all the cards did so I can enjoy your content on the go. Just a thought, keep up the great work my dude!
Seadevil stinger is going to age badly now that Murlock warloc is a thing
Saddened that we didn't get to hear about the Silverback Patriarch
....and sorry, but the pick for Rastakhan's Rumble should have been Hi'reek, the Bat.
I just felt some crazy kind of whiplash as a player who stopped playing Hearthstone a few years ago and seeing that 'Saddlemaster' card as being the worst card in a set. To my early-Hearthstone brain that card just seems really good with no drawbacks.
REcently ive been putting bloodherald in duels with the hero brann ,run a token minion setup ,and grab the spell that gives charge, if you dont win with the cheap minions you have like 15 dmg in hand by the time you can play it
My boy never played Lorewalker Cho + Millhouse combo. Randuin was the golden age of Hearthstone Twitch content.
This video in a nutshell:
- Almost every expansion was one of the most powerful expansions ever
- Cards that actually saw play, sometimes even in S-Tier decks, were the worst cards ever
- The powercreep started to happen in every set
- wHy WoUlD tHeY pRiNt ThIs, when talking about cards that could actually be used if the meta was slightly different
Yeah this video was terrible tbh, couldn't even finish it, Rarran has some good content, but a lot of his stuff also screams that he didn't play the game much until recently and is trying to act like he is an OG.
this makes reynad beating you with millhouse just sweeter :D
If any card was either part of a meta deck once, or a staple in arena then it can't be a candidate for worst card. Silithid Swarmer was playable by rogue/DH, and Fossilized Devilsaur was a constant in Arena during it's rotation where just having a big late-game body (sometimes with taunt) often wins you games rather than topdecking a 2 drop.
Also in some cases people underrate cards simply because they overextend in trying to build a deck around a mediocre card, which in itself isn't horrible but by tweaking a deck to try to make it good you lower your winrate, throwing a mid card into a S-tier deck is still viable.
> Every RPG in history takes influence from DnD, including Dark Souls
> Kobolds and Catacombs is very obviously a DnD expansion
> "I think it's a dark souls reference"
Nailed it
You've probably been told this by now but toothy chest is a reference to mimics which yes, exist in dark souls but have been around since super early versions of d&d
I like how 2 of the cards are now in tier 1/2 wild decks
I've seen Rend Blackhand's effect be used.....
in that one tavern brawl where you get a bunch of copies of random legendaries.
Wow the seadevil stinger aged like milk
5:13 no, it's DND reference.
I'd like to argue that Majordomo Executus should have made the list. It's so bad that not only did it see only see play in meme decks, it was usually considered the worst possible card to get from random summoning effects.
Purify was used in a divine spirit combo deck with the 4 mana 7/7 that can't attack. It was super slow and not a good deck, but the meme value was excellent.
Also....how do you not know what a mimic is? (Toothy chest)
I love a lot of the cards mentioned in this video though. Not every card needs to have competitive value. It's a game! Some cards can just be fun!
I loved this format, you might wanna do more of these!
Great video ! Hadn't enjoyed one of your videos as much for quite à while :)
Generous mummy has been hilarious in some wild combo decks. You’d give it to your opponent to discount your own cards for a OTK combo
Well, purify was actually used in priest decks. I don't remember the details, but purify removed some negative effects from cards, like "can't attack", so it was useful.
Stoneskin Gargoyle was MVP for messing with the AI of several adventures though.
i actually had a lot of great plays with rend blackhand back in the blackrock dragon priest days
Love this video a lot. I’m not a mercenaries player but I like your content so I’m happy to see this. And the editing and visuals are perfect
Don't know if it's worse than the EVIL cape legendary, but a RoS card that I really didn't understand its existence was Arcane Servant. It was just a River Crocolisk with an Elemental tag. Like, Hearthstone just felt so over these kind of textless minions at the point RoS came out that it just badfled me.
