There is one legendary that is so bad that almost everyone forgot it existed. It came out in the Boomsday project, it's a 4 mana Legendary. I forgot the name so badly, that I had to look it up. It's called Harbinger Celestia. Edit: holy crap did I sparked alot of attention on that card.
Exactly!! I was really surprised that he included Gurubashi Chicken and left out Harbinger Celestia. At least the Chicken has some sort of an OTK deck, but Celestia is utterly rubbish.
The only thing I remember about celestia is the my little pony reference. I'm pretty sure I've never actually seen it played, not even in a tavern brawl.
How can you mention Genn without mentioning good ole handlock? I'm also sad Mecha'thun and/or Hakkar didn't make at least honorable mention for looking trash but then being decent enough.
I think saying Hakkar is "decent enough" is a stretch. Hakkar saw play in the very early days of the expansion, because people like to meme around with the new cards at that point. I don't know the exact statistics, but I'd be surprised if any Hakkar deck boasted an >50% winrate.
I agree with a lot of the stuff here, but I also think that you missed out on 1 particularly dumbest card: Gurubashi Offering. Like, alright, on EXACTLY turn 1 it's a 1 Mana gain 8 armor. But like, that's really bad game design, I think. It's like "Alright, here's this card, if you don't play it on turn 1 it's literally worse than Target Dummy." Hell, if you are going second, then there's a chance that an enemy's 1 drop plus a hero power could kill it EVEN ON TURN 1. I get that sometimes printing meme crazy cards is necessary, but the reward of this card being used optimally is too little, the downside of it not going off is too high, and the chances of it going off are so tiny that like... It's just hard to comprehend.
@@spinningredchair8092 More like 2 mana for up to 3 damage and without the requirement of the middle minion being frozen beforehand. Think about it. Your "great idea pretty much gets powercreeped by Frozen Nova.
@@justinjakeashton Cards that do the same thing just more or less at different mana costs exist. See Arcane missiles and cinder storm, or arcane explosion and flamestrike. Fireball/pyroblast. It's the same concept my dude
I liked the list and enjoy these kinds of videos in general, but i do feel like the format of the video should cover all of your picks for the greatest cards first, then all your picks for the most op, then all of the most stupid. I feel like covering all three sections at once just kinda gets overwhelming. but maybe that’s just me, anyway great job :)
Liked the video, but I disagree with the baited arrow and Gurubashi Chicken. I haven’t seen enough Baited Arrow to think that it’s that bad (Flanking Strike still seems like a more oppressive card), and Gurubashi Chicken is clearly meant to be a meme. It’s like dinging Amgam Rager or Baron Noggenfogger.
another thing is that you can merge gurubashi chicken with hunter's DK hero power - i know that usually you would want to go something heavier rather than to pick a 1 mana beast from one of your choises, so..... still, not a bad card, just a bad collection card (you would never use this very card in your deck).
Warlock card. Incubus. 1 Mana 2/3 discard a card Rogue card. Seccond slice. 1 Mana deal 1 damage to a minion: combo deal 3 damage Mage spell. Ice spray 1 Mana freeze 2 random enemies. Mage spell. Secret, icy runes. 3 Mana when your hero is attacked freeze all enemies. Put me in the design team coach, I did this in litteraly 10 secconds.
1. Dumb. It either sucks like Succubus (1 mana and 2 attack more) or it's oppressive because it's a high statted 1 drop which is unfun. 2. Although it can't go face it's bassicly a eviscerate that cost 1 mana less and deals 1 more damage and as a 1 mana card it's easy to combo so it will never deal 1 damage. Eviscerate cost 1 more and is comboed almost every time. And even though it's rogue's identity to have strong removal for few mana, rogue already has enough in my eyes. 3. Because it can also freeze your opponents hero, it relies on RNG too much of the time. Also it's just annoying and aggro doesn't even care that much if two low attack minions can't attack for a turn. And as a tech card against weapons classes oozes are just better. 4. Looks too much like a worse frost nova. Costs the same, does pretty much the same but is easily played around. That's why Blizzard doesn't print cards that are designed in seconds: they simply suck.
Incubus is vastly worse than flame imp in pretty much every way, until you put it in discardlock. Unfortunately discardlock has a convenient one-drop built into the deck, and if it doesn't play succubus it won't play the 1-drop version. Like Teun says... op op. Ice spray... well, actually that could be worse. But is it effective enough to go in any existing decks? Nah. Icy runes? So... frost nova, but you can't play it as frost nova then doomsayer for one of the most effective board clears around. I'm... not that convinced?
Time out’s probably better compared to frost nova rather than ice block in terms of its effect; the difference being for the same mana one freezes all enemy minions for a turn, and one freezes all enemy minions, their hero, their spells and any other damage dealing effect. Couple that with the weapon syngery and it’s pretty clear why this card is probably going to have people tearing their hair out in the not too distant future
Bruh what about Shudderwock? A card so broken it remained op after Nerf, will forever hinder Blizzard from making strong battlecries since Shudderwock exists
not to mention it took not 1 but 2 nerfs to be finally balanced. chain gang was nerfed for other reasons like the interactions with keleseth and other handbuff mechanics but shudderwock was prob one of the main causes
I just wanted to say that I love your content, Peniless. The analysis is honest with both what you know and what you don't know. It's a fine line to draw between expert and human and you do it very well. It actually got me back into hearthstone (for better or for worse haha). I wish you the best in the coming year. :)
6:59 Teddy Rosevelt IS overpowered. How is it fair to get a trustbuster AND a headstrong imperialist in one president? He's like LBJ, he should've been two presidents instead of 1. Also 12:40 time out won't ever see play in wild. Control pally has to face the warlocks three (even, reno, mechathun), as well as all that quest mage.
4:57 I mean I hate hunter just as much as the next guy, but this card is more like a 5 mana 5/5 Battlecry: Deal 2 damage with a limiting condition. Bottom line: It wasn't THE problem, it was just along for the ride.
4:19 I knew I heard that music before it was from intros of a youtuber that I watched before! AH the nostalgia I already like your videos bro keep doing a great work
Some really weird choices on these lists. I can find a ton more OP cards than Baited Arrow, Hench-Clan Thug or Jan'Alai. Thank you for recognizing the dangers of Time Out, though. I'm surprised more people don't recognize what's lurking.
This Standard year, more than any other, is a year that was dominated by cards from the previous year. This upcoming year will be the first time the Year of the Raven has an actual chance to stand on its own.
EDIT: wrong year. LoL. Fire fly is the best card. it's probably the most played card of the year I'd imagine. such versatility. perfect 1 drop for rogues as well.
With the Jan'alai entry, that card that makes your hero power deal 2 more damage means that you could also potentially have to use it only twice or three times if you're lucky, making the card even more crazier.
What about that card that transforms into the next minion your opponent plays? It's so dumb I don't even know the name of it. Never seen it played, and probably never will.
so, this was the first video by you that i watched and i must say: very interesting and informative and a good take on hearthstone last year. i enjoyed watching it and will propably watch a couple more now. Howeeeeveeerr... when you shout the volume changes quite a lot which makes the experience less un for the viewers... thanks anyways its a good video
Hm. I think you might've missed some cards as for the stupidest cards E.M.P. Operative Duskfallen Aviana Witchwood Apple WANTED! Harbringer Celestia Ice Cream Peddler Shieldbreaker
Blizzard should have added something that was fun and interesting when adding new classic cards. A clone from previous sets would have been fine. Would have been a cool chance to bring back something that was interesting but rotated out or something like that.
Man i had such a blast whit these video. Keep it up!! You will get to the top eventually(original content, comedic and analistic plus basic but good animations) It will take some time due to the upload schelude you have but i trust in you. Have a great 2019
3:22 the first version of Gurubashi Chicken gained +10/+10 after Overkill. This lasted approx. one game. Then the chicken got Warsong Commander treatment.
personally i like the gurubashi chicken OTK. even if you dont get the rng on the adaption you can still hit people for significant damage. and its always fun to see people play their silence on a 1/1 chicken.
The problem with Ice Block vs Time Out! is that Ice Block can just be dropped on turn 3, and it'll activate when you need it. No skill required. Time Out! makes you think. Does my opponent run direct damage? If so, does he have any of it in his hand? What is the probability of him drawing it? How much damage will I prevent with Time Out? etc. I don't mind Time Out! because only skilled players can get full value out of it.
Some cards missing from this list that any informed player would mention, Harbinger Celestia In dumb category(for all reasons listed as holomancer and some) Zuljin should replace baited arrow, there are many Spell/Secret hunters not playing baited, same can’t be said for Zuljin. Shudderwock, Giggling, Dreampetal and lesser extent Floop in the OP category. Not gonna mention the good category because that one is heavily subjective
Shudderwock isn't anymore that bad, because it going infinite isn't so easy anymore. It's just different type of combo deck that deals 15 or so damage and gives nice bonuses on the side.
Why Gurubashi Chicken? While it's hilariously underpowered that does not mean that it's bad. A funny, interesting, mysterious, crazy, creative or otherwise appealing card that is extremely weak is still worlds better than a boring card that is just so so playable. And I love the chicken, it's always so cool to see it played!
Woah Giggling inventor not on the op list? Do you not remember the turn 4 coin into giggling or the dreaded quest rogue. I knew mossy horror had a purpose and that fulfilled one of my dreams for it. The other one was a curse of weakness into mossy horror warlock and it sadly never saw play.
Ice block was stupid because Mage's could get more than 2 in one game with cabalists tomes and glyphs. I will always have an undying hatred for that card.
Icicle is really dumb to put into your deck, but it is occasionally picked in Wild Exodia Mage just for the draw during a Frost Nova/Blizzard turn. Also, Bazookadin was theorycrafted in Wild and... didn't work out well. Paladin not having Kazakus nor a solid lategame board swing makes the control deck bad there, and the OTK is a little too finnicky and slow to assemble.
Do you plan on making a list of cards that will be missed (or not) once rotation hits? We've still got 2 months before the next expansion is even teased but I'm sure we all have candidates for what we really want out
After watching this video I suddenly had an epiphany... Wtf is my Sylvanas, my Ragnaros etc. I quit playing a few years ago and juat recently came back. If I had those cards still I wouldn't be at such a huge disadvantage in the game by not having any of the new card sets... I know they are retired to the HoF but feels bad man!
Icicle is actually bad for Hearthstone in general because it falsely teaches new players to damage frozen minions.
There is one legendary that is so bad that almost everyone forgot it existed.
It came out in the Boomsday project, it's a 4 mana Legendary.
I forgot the name so badly, that I had to look it up.
It's called Harbinger Celestia.
Edit: holy crap did I sparked alot of attention on that card.
Exactly!! I was really surprised that he included Gurubashi Chicken and left out Harbinger Celestia. At least the Chicken has some sort of an OTK deck, but Celestia is utterly rubbish.
same here i was surprised he didn't mention it when i opened my back my only wish was not to get it ( btw i got it :) )
QMoonHeartQ I pulled a golden one but I said I wouldn't dust it until I got something better than a fire fly from it
@@MiamiMarkYT How's that gone so far???

Really Baited Arrow !! That card is only played because Hunter it’s literally the 30th card to include in a hunter deck
Yeah, baited arrow is highkey trash. A 5/5/5 deal 2 wouldn't even be that good.

I’ll take that $100 bet meet me in legend
I wish Rod of Roasting can be played out single mode and combo with time out :^D
