you cheated, you couldn't give seasoned hallowblade indestructible because you couldn't tap it.
@sethstorm I would like to ask you not to use that word (especially when you don't know the rules, like in this case) when commenting. Cheating implies that someone tried to lie or mislead to gain an advantage in the game. Accusing someone of cheating if they did not know the rules is unhealthy for the game and generally toxic behavior. But in this case, tapping is not a cost but an effect. You can always tap an already tapped creature as an effect, but not as a cost :) but please, do your best to comment with more healthy language in the future
@@CardmarketMagic all right my apologies, its a common term my friends and I throw around without actually meaning to insinuate anything. another common one we use is "you lied to me" or "I lied to you" when we were really just wrong about something. I really meant no offense. As for the correction you made, I missed the : on the card and I apologize there as well. you are indeed correct. Thank you for being polite about it. I do appreciate it.
Thoralf really said warlock hero power is the worst, but it's usually considered the best one.
it's up there with hunter I think. but yeah it's a very solid hero power lol (poor paladin)
Yep, there’s a reason Warlock cards are usually bad. Design has also talked about how they always have to balance neutrals around not being too strong in Warlock
With all the aggro deck running around life tap is basically suicide button 😅😅😅
@@Glassesgorillanot necessarily. sometimes paying 2 life to increase your chances to draw your board clear is the play against aggro. it's certainly more useful than most hero powers.
@@sylvainsanesti3499Paladin was considered the best class for most of the game's life, I think we're good.
I think a creatureless combo deck has the best odds against a hearthstone deck.
Doomsday is the best deck to play because it has a card that says "with the game".
Storm would be hilarious to watch
Burn spells would probably be good against a Hearthstone Deck, with Damage staying on Minions
@@beanofknowledge2125 Not worth it, you really don't want to be spending multiple cards to kill something.
Control too, heartstone isnt designed to handle things like flash/instant But a combo deck not having to worry about disruption would be the best yes
"Your brain works random enough" Aww, what a lovely insult lol
Long-time Hearthstone player here, warlock hero power is widely considered the best hero power, I have no idea why Thoralf said it was the worst
Not as op as it used to be
It's much weaker now since everything gives so much card advantage
it's the single best one to this day
How strong the hero power is is entirely dependent on the meta and what decks are legal in whichever format you're playing in. Demon Seed Warlock does well with Warlock's hero power, but it the effects of the hero power don't compete with Paladin's hero power in Dude Paladin or with Mage's hero power in Ping Mage.
@@phyose4793 thing is with something like hero power mage you need additional card to make that hero power that strong
you don't need to do that with life tap
I really, REALLY want more of this content as someone who plays both games. This was awesome.
There are more videos like this on RUclips, but this one is by far the best one I've seen
The entire video, I was thinking about making a ruleset to integrate booth games against each other, and holy moly, the issues of base mechanics not working well with each other and number of edgecase interactions bewteen mtg's 27,000+ unique cards and harthstone's digital mechanics are making me want to never ever do this xD
I love both games, but you would probably need an entire rules comitee for a format like this.
Id love to see HS vs MTG with HS rules only, or with MTG rules only (with adapted mechanics ofc)
The pivot to a deck with Starfish to deal with Carl's Indestructible gameplan was a 5head move.
The issue is at 2:50 they established that creatures and minions are different things. So silencing all minions wouldn't do anything to MtG creatures, using their previous internal logic.
That being said, I hope that was just a joke, because that would also break many other things, like HS minions not being able to attack MtG creatures at all etc.
My only problem is that esper sentenial triggered on cards it should of not triggered. There are spells in hearthstone but creatures, weapon, and coin doesn't count as them.
@@kingspammeth8714 This is true for creatures and weapons, but coin very much is a spell.
@@Mate_00 if you listen again you can hear him say that they are creatures
@@Mate_00 They joke about that, but watching the actual gameplay he doesn't draw the cards for minions being played since minions and creatures are equivalent things.
Imagine trying this with Yugioh and realizing your opponent has 8000 life
LOL. They probably have to do some kind of conversion. Also, the YGO player vomiting their hand and otk-ing
“Turn 2. I play kuriboh and attack you directly for 300/20.” 😅
Pretty sure they did that. It went about as well as one might expect.
Someone did that. The MTG player just countered all their spells.
They already did that. Turns out Chalice of the Void works great when all your opponent's cards cost 0.
Nobody's talking about how they have an entire Hearthstone deck in real life on paper cards and didn't even call attention to it
Ngl I thought of that when opening the video!
Maybe they just printed them, like that one casual MTG format
which mtg format? @@legitmycats5905
@@legitmycats5905 And then sleave the paper...
Would be very un-chonky cards. I wonder how those even shuffle 🤔
@@Broockle you put them over real cards so they are chonky
@@hunterhuffman4520 taht would definitely be better.
But what do yo use? Can you just use your mtg tokens or land, or some old yugioh starter deck? 😆
Minus a few inaccuracies when dealing with hearthstone, this has been one of my favorite videos from this channel in a long time! I wouldn't mind a sequel at all!
damage to your hero through armor counts towards the quest @18:30
They messed it up a few times unfortunately, but I understand why they made that mistake.
he wasnt winning with tamsin anyways xD
If not for that and one play mistake, he'd have Tamsin two turns earlier.
For anyone else who doesn't know the card, she's a 7/7 with "Battlecry: For the rest of the game, damage you take on your turn damages your opponent instead."
I think you could actually make a semi-fair format out of MtG vs HS with just a little setting of base rules.
1) MtG cards that refer to "color" refer instead to class cards. Druid or Hunter = Green, Mage or Shaman = Blue, Priest or Paladin = White, Warlock, Rogue, or Death Knight = Black, Warrior = Red, and Demon Hunter could be put where ever you want based on if you want to count physical color or philosophy more. Neutral cards are colorless, as established.
2) Equivalencies must be established. Weapons are Artifact - Equipments and vice versa. HS Spells are Sorceries, while magic Instants and Sorceries are HS Spells. Minions and Creatures are synonymous terms. Maybe Secrets and Locations are Enchantments and vice versa, an Enchantment can be treated as a Secret or as a Location.
3) There are a handful of keywords based on the attacking/targetting/blocking procedures of both games, which would need reworked if the other game's targeting rules are used. To be honest, I think either system could work.
- 3A: If both players use MtG style attacks, attacks are declared all at once and the defender chooses blockers. The keywords Taunt and Rush would need reworked to stay relevant - Taunt could be converted to Reach without much issue. Rush could be a trigger, "when this enters the battlefield, it may fight target creature." IDK.
- 3B: If both players use HS style attacks, then attacks can be declared at any time, one at a time, with targets chosen freely. The keywords Flying and Menace would need reworked to stay relevant as well as Unblockable which may or may not be a keyword, I forget. Unblockable could simply be "ignores taunt." Someone suggested that Flying should be "can't be targetted by attacks," but there are many options. Menace could be "once each turn, when this attacks and kills a creature, it can attack another creature." Trample could stay as is, but would be stronger than usual for it. Dunno. Messier in some ways than the Magic thing.
- 3C: Each system could use its own targeting, but I dislike this option because it will essentially force the MtG player to abandon creature-based strategies.
4) A hearthstone player normally can't interact with the graveyard, or have their "graveyard" interacted with. I honestly don't know how to solve this one, other than making sure degenerate GY combos are impossible for the MtG player.
5) I think it's OK if MtG creatures heal at the end of every turn and the HS ones don't. HS creatures usually have more stats as a baseline, though not always. Similarly, most of the other asymmetries not mentioned seem fine.
...maybe that would still end up with MtG combo vs HS aggro, but it would at least help smooth things out. This isn't like YGO vs MtG though; I think this one has some potential.
I like the ideas here, but I also like each game using their own targeting rules, and keeping their keywords same. Only thing that changes is how the other game interacts with the keywords. Ex: flying is the same, but hs minions can't attack flying creatures unless they also have flying
Also, I think the mtg player should be able to use their creatures to block if enemy minions attack the player
For 3, I'd probably go with:
Hearthstone Minions are treated like Planeswalkers in that MTG players have to 'attack' them. Taunt means 'creatures without taunt must be attacked"
Creatures are treated like minions in Hearthstone, but each minion attack is its own combat for MTG, and MTG players can block accordingly. Again, the MTG player treats each of their own creatures like a planeswalker for the purpose of blocking.
I'd say the magic player can attack any creature as if they were planeswalkers (unless one has taunt which works normally), while the hearthstone player declares attackers and the magic player chooses their targets, which is considered blocking. This keeps both decks working roughly within their own rulesets.
I especially agree with point 2. When there are obvious comparisons, it’s foolish to ignore them.
- 3D: Combat works depending on whose turn it is.
The MtG player declares attackers, and because declare blockers happens during the MtG player's turn, that means the HS player can use their minions to block.
Then Taunt can become "Reach. This minion must block at least one attacker if able. It can block multiple creatures."
Flying stays as it is during the MtG player's turn, meaning it cannot be blocked by HS minions without .
The HS player attacks as normal. But the HS player cannot hit creatures with flying.
I do feel like this is still favoured towards the HS player, though. Though maybe Carl was just playing the wrong deck. MtG is generally a more interactive game, and he was seemingly playing the least interactive deck outside of Esper Sentinel.
This was a really fun idea - but I think it would have been better if you'd had an actual Heathstone player.
Hearing Thoralf confidently describe Life Tap, the largely undisputed best hero power in the game, as "actually the worst" aged me XD
or the amount of miss sequences with the warlock deck^^
He is a wild player clearly, in wild, hero powers suck, unless you are playing genn greymane, even in the demon seed deck, if you are life tapping, you are not playing the best the deck can play, 2 mana is a lot of mana for you to just draw a card, when the kobold can do it for 1 mana only for example
@iuricunhamurakami8261 dont mean heropower but thinks like being at 5/10 of the quest and then using spirit bomb first to got to 9/10 instead of crystallizer
@@moersertrupp I was talking about the original comment on him being wrong describing life tap as the worst hero power
Losing armor counts as taking damage Thoralf! Silly silly...
Fairly sure it doesn't because you're technically not taking damage, your armor is. I'd need to go back to HS to be sure but as far as I remember it only counts if it's HP damage
@@The_JPhantom ruclips.net/video/sPBS59CGOss/видео.htmlsi=_Nys15vjYt3sZjFQ&t=152
@@The_JPhantom Check out 'Warlock's most powerful Wild deck, The Demon Seed!' by MartianBuu then watch from 2:36 onwards for proof
@@The_JPhantom No, it does count as taking damage
HS has changed some parts of damage costs recently (I know for sure that cards that cost life can't be payed with armor anymore for instance), so idk if the demon seed still works with armor, but it definitely used to before yeah, I remember people playing cristalizers back to back to quickly complete a quest part
Funky, very interesting how these two games interact, now we gotta have a crossover with Rarran
do you really think they want that level of negativity on their channel
@@broomob You must mean Zeddy. Rarran's actually pretty cool
He's played a bit of Magic, and he has the Canadian factor aswell. I could see that working well!
@@hypercube34 no
@@broomob Are you a Yu-Gi-Oh player? Because that's really the only card game Rarran has been negative towards, even though he actually plays that game.
I believe there's a small mistake at 3:34 with the Carving Chisel trigger where you actually CAN summon a basic totem already in play, unlike with the Shaman hero power.
ETA: and 5:05
I believe that with any effect that summons a random basic totem, it goes through all four of them before summoning any duplicates, but I could be wrong, I don't play shaman anymore.
@@thetacoboatthe hero power locks out after controlling all 4 but every other source summons a random one no matter which ones you have on board
@@superyahoo1822That's crazy. I never knew the hero power just locks itself.
the hero power doesn't lock itself anymore, it's been changed couple months ago
Guys! There’s 5 basic totems currently
That’s the biggest mistake they made, hearthstone put the lovely storm spelldamage totem back in
Feels like using the Hearthstone combat rules for both players was unfairly skewed towards the Hearthstone deck. Why did Thoralf not have to attack and get blocked like in magic? Creatures like Esper Sentinel become WAY worse when you can attack them directly.
I believe they used the combat rules of their respective games
If Carl is gonna cheese and say "minions aren't creatures", then Thoralf should have answered that in hearthstone only SPELLS are SPELLS. Minions and equipaments are not creature spells... But they aren't non-creature SPELLS eighter hehe
I think the hearthstone minions shouldn't be able to attack the FLYING creature.
PS: Warlock hero power is considered by far the best one.
For this "format" stuff like that really just has to be determined by the players before the game begins.
@@PrimalRockSlapper Nah, I like the "let's figure it out as it happens". It makes more interesting FOR THE VIDEO.
The difference is that in magic there are spells that make creatures that are not creature spells, while there are no cards beyond lands that aren't spells when you cast them.
@@thejackscraft3472 Yeah, but he tried to cheese it out.
"Tecnically minions aren't creatures, so if you play a minion I get to draw a card as it's a non-creature spell".
Well, tecnically they aren't spells. MAGIC CARDS that aren't lands are all spells. Hearthstone cards that aren't spells aren't spells.
@@OrdemDoGraveto Carl's playing by magic rules, so for him, all cards that aren't lands are spells. just like how Thoralf could attack creatures directly since he's playing with Hearthstone rules.
Phrasing Hearthstone's opening three card opening hand as "a seven card hand, but four of the cards are lands," because of the consistent mana generation, is such a fascinating perspective.
I love how Carl essentially recreated the old Bolf+Jailer combo by sacrificing the rest of his cards to give one creature the power to tank all the damage.
In reality it's even better than that because you also never draw lands later either. One of the things I disliked about mtg was the dead land draws that happened later into the game
Two things that I think probably should be considered for if you guys do this again, which you probably won't. 1. Minions don't count as non-creature spells because they aren't spells. 2. The rules being largely hearthstone dominated definitely gives a disadvantage to the magic deck. It may be a bit more complicated, but I think Hearthstone attacking into Magic needs to deal with Magic rules for blocking, while Magic gets the advantage of choosing who they attack in hearthstone, with flying, islandwalk, etc, all reading 'ignore taunt'
I agree, except mtg player can only attack enemy player unless that player has minions with taunt
So, there's some good reasoning to support minions being non-creature spells. specifically, they go through the process that magic refers to as being "Cast" and magic definition of a "Spell" is something that is being "Cast", so they fit the definition of a spell when viewed through the lens of the magic rules, which is what the sentinel is looking at the game through. as for them being non-creature, they don't have the type "Creature", which is what's checked for what kind of spell it is.
as for the rules for attacking and blocking, they're tricky, but I think the way to play it is more likely that each side attacks the way their game attacks, and the opposing side defends the way that the attacking side would defend. it does give an advantage to the HS player, but the format already has a lot of advantages for the magic player, like the existence of instants, so I think that's ok.
When the Hearthstone card said "Spells cost 1 more", it should've been interpreted as "Instant and Sorcery spells cost 1 more", as in HS "Spell" refers only to those kinds of cards
This is cool as hell we should see what happens when Warhammer fights Lego
As a massive fan of both Magic and Hearthstone I LOVE this!!! Idk who decided to do it but thanks and good job! Also Carl was in the video, so that automatically gets a like in my book
Him saying warlock hero power is "The worst" at 14:30 shows he has nnot been playing hearthstone long cause that hero power is one of the reasons warlock is often one of the best classes
even in beta warlock's hero power was considered the best
Not the best as it used to be. The only good wild deck is that stupid quest.
It is the best hero power, though hero powers, in general, are not really that great. You'd much rather spend your turn playing a card that either advances the board state or furthers your plan than hero power
@@reveler279especially in beta. Its gotten worse over time, but the only way the vast majority of them have stayed relevant is stuff like even/odd/specific support printed (ping mage, quest/attack druid kinda stuff)
He plays wild. It is actually fairly bad in wild because as a warlock you can draw your entire deck in a few turns anyways.
at 3:12, Carl does not get to draw a card, as weapons are not spells in hearthstone
At 11:20, Thoralf says there are no auras in Hearthstone, but there are auras in hearthstone
🤓👆
Are there auras? I know there are spells that buff your creatures, but are there cards that stick around and are permanently connected to that creature?
@@tamo3329 There's a card type that's called aura, but it's actually an enchantment that expires after a few turns. There are no auras that work like in magic apart from the buff spells you mentioned
@@tamo3329 there are auras, however they aren't permanent and usually last 3 turns, I think paladin is the only class that has them
@@agustinalamonandere3271 oh right, forgot about those
Even if you have no clue about Hearthstone, paying life for a card draw is a very powerful ability in general TCG games.
This was actually really interesting and clever! I liked the way you guys sideboarded/switched decks, the silence was a great touch!
Using the Hearthstone attack rules both ways didn't really feel fair, but you have to make judgment calls on these crossovers. Having different attacking rules would make the one using Hearthstone mode much powerful since they get to pick their targets. I wonder how it'd go if they both used Magic rules. That would also have the advantage of not making all evasion ability worthless.
To be honest. Lavinia' azorious renegade instantly kills hearthstone. You literally cannot play the game from the moment it hits the battlefield.
Tons of mtg cards like that exist. Its not a hard game to break hearthstone since lands are only a mtg thing.
For example, casting Forcing your opponent to copy treasure hunt. Then casting something like a fog.
Heck isachrone scepter plus fog or some kind of universal fog(for all damage not just combat) would be GG.
Heck isachrone into something silly like silence locks the game right there.
Like... this is easy peasy.
they used their respective games rules, hearthstone could pick targets, mtg could not, but hearthstone couldn't block because that's not a thing in hearthstone. Not saying it was fair, but they were going by their own games' respective attacking rules.
Game 1: Hammer time! Game 2/3: Mono White Prison
I like how they put the hearthstone cards in a card holding like the game, that was nice attention to detail
Finally we got the crossover! :)
This reminds me of the early games of my friend's Magic days, where we played his Pokemon deck against my Magic deck.
This was actually really cool, I hope you guys will do more of these matches with different deck matchups
My brain had a stroke when you asked if people would buy hearthstone cards on cardmarket😂😂
This is a fun concept, would definitely like to see more of these.
It brings me a lot of joy to see you guys having so much fun
Excellent content as always - really enjoying these mashups and weird cross-game interactions!
Thoralf mulliganning the stonewright in a totem deck hurt me.
The quest counts armour to also be damage that is why the 1 mana card is so good
Also the first pay 3, return 2 death minions didnt get counted for the quest.
So the quest would be in next phase during that card, which would've change the quest progress in the next round aswell, since you wouldve passed the mark earlier aswell
Loved this so much! Please make more of these crossover matches but reviewing the rules to make it more fair
I love the tempo and energy. You just start the video, crack well put jokes and off we go ❤ That's how it should be done!
That was pretty close actually! I would love to see more hearthstone vs magic games, this kinda seems like a legit match up, rather than a memey but fun puzzle like the Magic vs Yu-gi-oh one.
It was pretty close because otherwise it wouldn't be interesting to watch. They rigged it to make it pretty close. If you made actual best MtG vs HS decks (especially if not restricted by tournament banlists) MtG would wipe the floor with HS. MtG had decks that could win on turn one during opponents turn even if opponent starts first. Power level is incomparable here. But of course that wouldn't be as fun to watch :)
@@godfreyofbouillon966 HS has had similiar decks same with yugioh all card games for the most part have similiar one turn decks thats not how this works or even how it should work
@@ferallyeasy6469 Im not sure what are you trying to say tbh
@@ferallyeasy6469 How the heck does HS survive as a game if it has decks that win on turn 1, without having any instant-speed interaction that would enable the opponent to do anything before losing?
This is such a wonderful video with such a nice and friendly atmosphere making both games look good.
I would love to see even more of this type of content that lifts all boats.
I’m almost tempted to reinstall hearthstone
this is such a cool concept. I would absolutely love to see more games with different decks
Would you guys ever be interested in doing a Magic vs Legends of Runeterra? It’d be fun to see some of the unique mechanics like Deep from that game
Possibly :) this does sound like a good idea!
I love these interesting matches against different card games. It is very interesting against OCGs like Hearthstone. Maybe Shadowverse in the future?
Shadowverse seems like a fun possibility!
This was, by far, the best video ever on this channel. Great job!
This was high effort and really well done. Congrats, Good job and GG.
Starfish coming in to show why even if you are normally unstoppable or a God, doesn't mean you can't be robbed of your power by a cuddly sea life.
since you played even shaman im suprised carl wasnt facing a bot
really cool concept, not gonna lie I popped off a little when I saw that smothering starfish come into play, what a draw! Would love to see more of this!
This was super sick! Interesting how the games are so different, yet similar enough that you can play them against each other semi-comprehensibly
Would have been funny to see cards like mind funeral or void mirror to take advantage of the fundamental rules of hearthstone. Or hearthstone cards like Peasant and Air Elemental that are just busted when you can’t attack creatures
end the festivities does quick work of air elemental
Mind funeral would most certainly work. Void mirror however not so much as a fundamental rule of hearthstone is that minions and weapons are not spells unlike in magic so a full minion/weapon deck would still most certainly stand a chance.
Now King Togwaggle would be an interesting card that kinda screws over both players.
eh, Magic has plenty of creatures like that already, there are just a lot of efficient ways to control the board with spells in magic, in addition to plenty of spells that just say no to you playing specific cards which were not used in this game. It was a terrible representation of what magic is actually like. dude played a very low power creature based deck.
14:22 the Warlock hero power is objectively the best one lmao
Shoutouts to the card market team always providing awesome content was very innovative and imaginative ideas
I ran paper hearthstone at Blizzcon one year for a pre-con event before it is suuuper interesting...love the video! I remember trying to figure out everything needed to represent the game state so this was a bit of a nostalgia trip. I still have the tokens I used for effects kicking around somewhere I think (I'll share a photo on Twitter if I do). There was maybe a few things I would of changed interaction wise but it's very tough when deciding how things work I'm sure. Super smart sideboards ;)
Thoralf had actually made his homework! Even shaman is a tier 1 deck and Questline Warlock is a respectful strong deck right now (probably like tier 2). Both decks are from wild (the equivalent to legacy), but despite the starfish, neither deck was taylormaid to match the mtg decks, which surprised me how well they got around the Carl's shady workarounds
As we also saw Cult Neophyte I'm fairly certain this was an out of date list. Probably 3-6 months old. Starfish would have been run in the lists where Neophyte was included as well.
Just a happy coincident I feel, as current quest Warlock lists would have been in trouble. Unless you argue rules with the quest reward about how its damage is dealt, if damage is dealt or it's just life loss etc.
Thoralf would probably need something like big priest (shard of the Naaru) or secret mage (objection/counterspell) or last long enough to get to 9 mana on a current Reono list to find success.
@@JinFreeks Reno shaman has devolve which potentially works if they allowed it
True that. One internet point for you good sir.
@@cruddytaco it would be funny to let them resolve a Devolve, probably they would random on scryfall for each creature until it gives a creature with cmc lesser than the og creature?

Really fantastic quality in this video on top of a really fun idea, hope to see more like this! I would say the best decks of each game in their entire history VS one another but im afraid the HS deck would lose before they got to even play
so the format is fun and i really love it as an loving hearthstone player its cool to see
Hearthstone decks are 30 cards. Should be easy to kill with a mill deck.
1. In HS you dont instantly lose when you run out of cards. Instead you take gradually more and more damage every time you draw with an empty deck.
2. Theres a card called "Prince Renethal" that sets your lifetotal and deck size to 40
3. There are cards that shuffle copies of themselves into your deck, although you could get around that with a surgical extraction
@@garrisonwu5862 And there are ways to win turn 3 in MTG with either infinites or alt win conditions.
Good luck stopping that.
I woud love for Thoralf to play Reno, Lone Ranger because it just straight up exiles all permanents your opponent controls lmao.
Fun video! And you put in so much work to make it look like hearthstone! Very cool!
I love this idea. Please do more of this
Genn Greymane LMAO
Genn and Baku are how I knew Companions were going to be broken, even before they were all spoiled
Did Witchwood really come out before companions? Wow.
Yeh and baku is top 5 hearthstone neutrals. Like ever so@@laurelkeeper
@@Shpeedle No, I know how good Baku and Genn were-though I actually kind of liked how they played personally. I just joined MTG after I left Hearthstone but also a couple years after Witchwood. So it makes sense.
So, HS minions aren't creatures, but Magic creatures are minions? That was a confusing assymetric call.
It works if each player is viewing the game through the rules of what they're playing. HS minions don't have the "Creature" type, so they're non-creature spells, but mtg creatures on the board fit the HS definition of a "Minion" so they count as such for cards that look for them.
It feels weird to call them spells because they arent spells by hearthstone rules
@@TheMrCarnification It mostly depends on which rule set you're coming from. from a MtG players perspective, it makes perfect sense for them to be spells, since they go through the process that would designate them as such in the MtG rules.
@@thejackscraft3472 i see
This is honestly such a creative and cool video Idea. I hope they do more of this
This was really cool! I enjoyed how you guys made rules to make the two games work together lol

This is really fun, hope to see more
This was a fun idea and was executed well, I'd love to see more card games pitted against each other like this.
I like teh concept but two different set of rules where - One side heals all damage naturally, and one stays.
Yeah, but look at those stats on those Hearthstone minions! I really don't think that was the most unfair aspect of this rules compromise.
Crossover number 2. This is gonna be fun
Okay I just got this recommended to me on my feed and now it's my favorite card game video ever 😂
I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it :D
As a fan of both MTG and hearthstone I really loved that vide. You rock guys!
I just want to point something for the viewers that have not played hearthstone during that period - the warlock deck Thoralf played in the last game was actually really oppressive to the meta so the inital quest got nerfed twice, it originally required the player to take 6 damage to progress to the next phase rather than 10. Also the final rewarda is a creature that basically makes it so until the end of the game any damage the warlock takes on their turn is instead dealt to the opponent. If that was the version played in the video, Carl would have been defeated much faster.
Upon realization that Counterspell and Force Of Will are not a concern in Hearthstone, I want to see you guys do some busted legacy combo deck vs hearthstone and see how that goes.
yeah playing a okish White creature based deck feels like playing with both hands tied behind your back.
they actually mention in some comment chains that they chose this deck to provide interesting games, since stronger mtg decks would thrash any hs deck without any real trouble.
@@thejackscraft3472 That's the thing though, they didn't really make it interesting. They chose a magic deck that has very little interaction with your opponent, whose only gameplan was a very flimsy combo backup plan since the deck's normal gameplan is countered very hard by Hearthstone's normal combat rules.
@@hintofinsanity it's much more interesting than the alternative, where the magic deck just steamrolls the hearthstone deck, which doesn't get to do anything. basically any other color (and a fair number of other white decks) would stomp a hearthstone deck into the ground with little effort, and the hearthstone deck couldn't really do much to stop it. it mostly comes down to the fact that magic is designed around your opponent being able to interact with your stuff at instant speed, while hearthstone isn't.
@@thejackscraft3472 Eh, a Green token or big creature deck could have been interesting and would be more fair.
The HS deck would just have to win before turn like 4 or 5.
They need both an MTG judge and a Hearthstone pro for this kind of videos just to solve stuff like the 3:12 saying a weapon is a spell, when in hearthstone spell generators can't create weapons, meaning they are not spells, just permanents
they were already skewing the rules heavily towards the hearthstone side of things, so i think it's fine. just fun and games anyway 🤷♂
since Sentinel is a magic card, it would look at the game through the magic rules, in which a "Spell" is defined in a way that includes most/all hearthstone cards. so since they fit the definition, but don't have the card type "Creature" they are seen as non-creature spells.
There are spells that do create weapons. Its a hunter card that lets you discover a minion, secret, or weapon.
@@jorgecabrera3694 That's not what he said. He said that spell generators can't create weapons, not that spells can't generate weapons.
Example: [Spell A "Add a random spell to your hand"], [Spell B "Add a random weapon to your hand"]
He's referring to spell Spell A.
@TwizzElishus clarify
That was fun and GG for the animations ! =)
This was super interesting to see the two different games clash together
0:06 No I would not buy heartstone cards from cardmarket. I would buy some Sorcery cards though.
I need to get my hands on some of those, my LGS didn't get any
@@sethb3090 I hope you do find a way! It is a fantastic game with truly amazing art
I'd like to see this again with the MTG player having a more basic deck to better see how the core mechanics interact. The attacking rules would end up being a lot more meaningful that way, e.g. if the Hearthstone player attacks face the MTG player would have the option to block, while if the MTG player attacks face the Hearthstone player can't block, so playing a more creature focused MTG deck would really change the dynamic. And, as Carl mentioned, there aren't instants in Hearthstone, so playing a more instant-heavy MTG deck would also make interactions more interesting.
Honestly the Hearthstone and Magic combat rules don't really interact well. Hearthstone combat favors attacker, Magic combat favors blocker. The weird amalgam where Hearthstone does attacking normally but can't block I'm not even sure about.
@@sethb3090 The fact that they don't gel well is kinda why I'd like to see them clash like that.
@@diogeneticist3585 my main worry is that if you conducted the magic player's combat phase by mtg rules and the Hearthstone one by Hearthstone rules you kind of get the best if both worlds for Hearthstone, where you can target select on both combat phases while your Magic opponent just has to sit there and take it. We already see how the magic deck gets washed by every minion being removal.
@@sethb3090 the issue is that the way you mention swings combat harshly in the mtg players favor, as all the creatures that are kept in check by the fact that your opponent can block are completely unleashed. Imagine an unblockable Ragavan...
@@thejackscraft3472 i think hearthstone is always favored because they can remove your creatures with theirs. Most Magic creatures are weak but can have good effects if they sit on the board. The hearthstone Player doesnt need removal to kill all your creatures every turn. Maybe if you play monogreen and grow your creatures you can get around that, but then you cant block if they decide to attack you directly. Applying Mtg rules for the hearthstone and Hearthstone rules for the magic player would work better i assume, after all, hearthstone specifically has taunt creatures. Its headwrecking, honestly.
There are some phrasings that you could use to make Hearthstone conform with Magic nomenclature. For example:
Minions (and Titans) are Creature Spells.
Buffs are basically token creature enchantments (which can be removed by Silence effects).
Locations, for namesake reasons and lack of interactability are lands which take up a board slot.
Secrets and Sigils could be treated as enchantments.
Spells are obviously sorceries.
Combat basically works like: "The opposing player chooses the minions/creatures you block with, they have to choose creatures with taunt"
Also because the graveyard barely matters for Hearthstone players, spell cards can just be treated as creature enchantments for display purposes.
There are a bunch of other effects that can represented, like:
Stealth being Hexproof, also applying to combat declaration
"Elusive" (not really a keyword, but recurring), being Shroud
Elusive is a keyword now as of this current expansion year in hearthstone
this is very fun! hope we see this with more different card games!
11:20, there are auras in Hearthstone. They are usually from creatures, like "Tundra Rhino", "All friendly beasts gain charge" is its aura. There are also other permanent auras like "Barnabus" 's battlecry, "All minions you summon cost (0) for the rest of the game". Lastly, there are auras that you cast, which effect your boardstate, like a card from Fractured in Alterac Valley, "Dun Baldar Bridge", which is "After you summon a minion, give it +2/+2. Lasts 3 turns". So there are many different types of auras
Also the flametongue totem he played in the previous game, counts as an aura effect. And I would argue that the windfury spell counts as an enchant kind of spell.
the stab at warlock for having the worst hero power feels weird, it used to be broken when there was a lot of self damage synergies and when warlock constantly played small stuff and just went face the full game without thinking of how much life you had.
that was pretty fun to watch!
Damn this is the perfect kind of videos to get a collab with Rarran
little bit confusing that hearthstone rules were kinda used on both sides here?
Like the totems "aren't Creatures" but also the minions can target attacks to creatures instead of MtG blocking rules despite the creatures not being minions
the difference is that sentinel looks at a spell and checks if it has the card type "Creature" which minions don't, but things like the starfish look for a set of parameters named "Minion", which mtg creatures fit.
for the attacking and blocking I'm not sure what they were doing exactly, but I would think it would work where the attackers rules were the ones a phase goes by.
This just felt weird, every call was made against mtg. Thoralf was playing wild vs Carl playing Modern, flying and protection were ignored while taunt and all hs effects got to take place. Felt like some more equal rules could have been used, or at least not an mtg deck that mainboards multiple ignored mechanics
fair, though this was probably done so that the HS deck actually had a chance of winning.
@@thejackscraft3472The hearthstone guy didn't count his quest progress correctly, forgot to count his first raise dead, and damage to armor counts, he would have completed it and tasmin (the quest reward) turns all damage taken on your turn into damage sent to the opponent.
'spells' are a type of card in hearthstone, not every card like in magic
There were odd calls from both sides, inevitable when trying to mesh the rules, but I am pretty sure hearthstone still would have won since the ability to "fight" a creature without playing green and spending cards is very powerful, and a base feature of hearthstone.
@@DKMperor yes, Thoralf did miss some beneficial effects, but this was also very much one of the worst decks that Carl could have been playing.
The spell thing is really easy to justify, the Sentinel looks at the game through the magic rules, so it sees anything magic would classify as a spell as a spell, and most/all hearthstone cards fut that classification.
Being able to attack creatures is only a benefit if your opponent is A, running creatures, and B, not running interaction. This again runs directly into the fact that this was possibly the worst decks Carl could have been playing, and even then, if they had made flying into a thing that meant it can't be attacked Carl would have just won the last game, even if Thoralf had remembered all his triggers.
Modern is basically wild. Vintage, historic, etc, are basically super wild.
@@juliandacosta6841 Nope, Modern has a limit on how far back you can go, but I can't find any such restriction for Wild, so it would be closer to Vintage, which is significantly higher power than Modern. and even then, Vintage has ban and restricted lists, which limit what cards you can use, Wild has no such thing that I can find. so if anything, Wild is Super Vintage.
An actual decade I have waited for this
I actually a hearthstone player and I LOVE to see more of the content like this
If no creatures had flying in the hearthstone deck, how did he target your thopter?
How did his card gain indestructible if it was already tapped?
@@Ardell_Drelzexianyou can activate the ability again even if it's tapped, "tap it" is written after the : symbol, therefore it's not the cost/requirement to activate the ability but its effect.
@@Ardell_Drelzexiangaining indestructible is part of the effect. You can give it indestructible and tap it multiple times, but it doesn't do anything unless the creature untaps or loses indestructible before the next turn.
in what world is warlock the worst hero power in hearthstone. i always thought it was steady second best since demon hunter released
Man this is such high quality content!
I hope Carl knows that Thoralf's deck *popped off* in that first game, performing even better than that deck usually does, getting multiple lucky hits/draws in a row.
Best pauper deck when?😢
We filmed it this last weekend. We are traveling to Paupergeddon right now but as soon as we are back I will start editing them and they should start releasing in 1-2 weeks :)
15:55 Ornithopter has flying
this is the most fun thing i have seen in a while
Fun video, slight issue with the way the totems were done. So totems from your hero power always pick one that isn't already on the field FROM YOUR HERO POWER. Very small thing but the weapons totem is always fully random meaning you can get duplicates and stuff
