Back in the day, a Brazilian RUclipsr named TheOneGames (Erico Graça) (R.I.P) achieved legend with the Shaman Starter Deck (only basic cards), defeating Kolento and other professional players. Unfortunately he died of cancer. But, in the Portuguese-Brazilian version, when starting the game on the loading screen, you can hear the introduction of your channel: "E ai, galera, tá tudo sussa?" (Hey, guys, how are you?) - which he used in the videos. This is a tribute from Blizzard for its relevance to the Hearthstone community.
Honorable mention to Noxious, a Canadian player who got Legend running 'Randuin Wrynn', a Classic Priest deck that primarily ran cards that said 'random' on them and other memes like Lorewalker Cho. It wasn't as heartwarming, but the word 'Randuin' would be spoken around the community for years after.
This was the hardest challenge you have done so far and we appreciate how much you put your mental health through in order to complete it. Great video as always.
I'm so glad Maxie was able to coach you. I really enjoyed watching you guys work together on getting to Legend with such a trash deck of only core. So crazy!
Hey. Just wanted to say I really like your content. I found you through all the CGB collabs lately and I'm glad I did because I was inspired to get back into Hearthstone. I haven't played since Journey to Ungoro but I'm finding a lot of fun in the game again, especially since some older cards are still playable, as you've shown here. Anyhow, thanks for your good work--your recent video interviewing card game pros was monumental. Keep it up, man.
Congrats on completing the challenge and hitting Legend. It was fun to face you on the last day (I was playing Big Shaman) and hope you continue to create such unique and great content in the future!
4:07 - when it's 4 hours of stream and it doesn't go the way you anticipated > CypoBbiÑBonk - throws rock > Rarran - " aight, I'm out, ... _incomprehencible_ "
I always thought a run to legend without disenchanting cards (so that you would create decks with the cards you get) would be a fun idea but this was so much more difficult so I dont know if you could ever go back to that.
I love when I see one of Zeddy's meta reports and there's some deck that's seeing a high winrate in high Legend and nowhere else, and half the time I look at the deck I (as an unskilled player) don't even see a win condition. Similar feeling.
This was a dope challenge. But that fucking thumbnail is killing me The meme arrow pointing to senjin shield master denoting it is in fact a basic card is just so comical. Holy shit.
Hey, I'm from Brazil and I started playing HS again these days. What's the best deck I can borrow? I liked the DH deck because it helps me level up quickly, but I've always liked playing control more.
@@KnownAsKenji Come on now. If I tell you which cards to play to win a game did you achieve anything? Of course not. Coaching would be being off stream telling you how to play the deck and the letting you do it on your own. You know it.
I"m leaving a like and a comment on this. This challenge is so fucking hard. Rarran you won Hearthstone. There is no reason to play ever again. Everyone like and comment this challenge was savage.
@@hegel19943 I'm referring to the fact that there is a specific rarity called basic which are the cards without a rarity gem. But hitting Legend with those would be genuinely impossible imo.
Definitely appreciate the skills displayed, but I find it disappointing that the solution is always to find the hyper-aggro deck and win. Especially in this meta where control is actively punished, it just reinforces my decision to quit this xpac.
I have no idea what any of these cards do and was a bit surprised nothing was explained, but I assume it's because most people here already know Hearthstone cards. I found here through the recent videos about the TCG Shop Simulator & Rarran's appearances in Magic the Noah gameshows, and don't know much about Hearthstone.
Much more harder is hit even 12-2 in arena or heroic brawl then achive legend rank. If we be talking about old ranking system then is something comletely diferent, but now is easyer go from bronz 5 to legend then going from rank 5 to legend in old system. I personaly hit legend during my boring lesson at scholl.
At the end there I'm pretty sure Deathrattles *always* goes before Reborn, even if Reskha died from Thassarian's Deathrattle it would not steal it... ~But I'm glad say I'm wrong if someone proves it to me.
You are right, but only for the current stack. For example, if a 2 damage aoe effect was played, Thessalian deathrattle triggers, then reska triggers, then Thessalian is reborn. However, thassArian dies before reska dies, meaning his deathrattle and reborn both activate before reska’s deathrattle. You can test it out, this is how it works.
Now can you beat legend using only legendaries? It might seem simple but most legendaries, at least when i played, used to need supporting normal, rare and epic cards.

It's so funny to see a regular legend player suffering in silver like I do every month. I spent way too much time struggling to reach gold last month. I've only seen diamond once in my career. Lol

Erico foi o responsável por me fazer começar a jogar esse jogo, obg por me fazer lembrar dele e de seu trabalho.
Descanse em poder Erico.

This is really hearthwarming
This was the hardest challenge you have done so far and we appreciate how much you put your mental health through in order to complete it. Great video as always.
He wasn't able to pass this challenge by himself, so the answer in the title is "no"
I'm so glad Maxie was able to coach you. I really enjoyed watching you guys work together on getting to Legend with such a trash deck of only core. So crazy!
Rarran: "Here we are. One game away from getting legend."
Video: *1/3rd left*

Congrats Macie to getting to legend once again. Cheers Rarran for being there I guess.

So the secret was to actually be good at deck building and playing hearthstone.
Skill? In Hearthstone? smh my head
The secret is getting a better player to tell you how to play lmfao.
@@Itsschub yep, and what deck to use too lol
Rarren did not include the word impossible In the only challenge where it is a fitting way to describe it,
"The Impossible Basic Cards Only to Legend Hearthstone Challenge" might have been too much.
He wore it out on difficult but possible challenges.
Honestly, watching the early livestreams I thought this was impossible. Congratz to Rarran and Maxie, awesome climb!
4:07 - when it's 4 hours of stream and it doesn't go the way you anticipated
> CypoBbiÑBonk - throws rock
> Rarran - " aight, I'm out, ... _incomprehencible_ "
man this definitely was the hardest one yet. regular legend player rarran destroying his sanity for content we appreciate it fam
Title should be “can Maxie reach legend using only basic cards while I control the mouse?” Big shout out to Maxie for completing the challenge
True KEKW
Maxie made it.
rip maxxies back after carrying you for 10 hours straight
The matchmaking mmr change and climbing at the end of the month helped with this. This would have been impossible in old hearthstone.
Fun fact: Maxie was originally a wild player, pretty much the "Pillager Rogue" prodigy before he got into Standard. Kid's good
I don’t care about only basic cards! What I wanna know is CAN YOU get to legend using only RARRANS BIG GAME HUNTER DECK?!
Jeez calm down. Bro had a bad day.
Cannot believe how emotional this video got by the end. Omg
I always thought a run to legend without disenchanting cards (so that you would create decks with the cards you get) would be a fun idea but this was so much more difficult so I dont know if you could ever go back to that.
If I remember correctly, he already did This and it was kinda easy.
Watching the streams was awesome! Gives more context to the true goat Night Elf Huntress
35 hours of hearthstone in 6 days would've made me go insane.
doesn't even include off screen time lol
This challenge is good. Congratz Rarran!
Great video as always Rarran! Really looking forward to your blindfolded run to Legend!
Holy cow Rarran, what an amazing feat! Well done! You're really earning that "regular Legend" moniker!
Maxie was the people's champ with the RNG lethal suggestion
"I shouldn't see too many meta decks early on" is the most delusional statement about hearthstone in a long time
I can't even build a decent deck, but Marin has won me games.
Permanent silver 10 resident, btw
A jank Highlander paladin deck has brought me to plat, and that is where i will stay 😂 thanks Reno
I remember putting him into an Achievement Deck, deck winrate went from 'absolutely never' to 'rarely'. Pretty good.
You could use the deck Rarran used at the end of this challenge. It's all basic free cards, but I used it to get to silver 3.
i could not stop watching the streams of this so i’m glad you finally did it! never doubted for 35 hours straight 🙏
What I noticed from Maxie is just how many players are carried by their meta decks rather than by their skill.
I love when I see one of Zeddy's meta reports and there's some deck that's seeing a high winrate in high Legend and nowhere else, and half the time I look at the deck I (as an unskilled player) don't even see a win condition. Similar feeling.
Brilliant mate really good to watch and props for getting help when needed
This may as well have been called can Maxie puppet me to get legend!
I started the video. First thoughts. You can't do this. I will edit when I finish the video.
Wow. That was awesome. Shout out to Maxy. Let's go!!
13:56 now that's legendary to watch :D
Rarran once again proving that there are skill issues, not card issues
He was bad since the start, even now he sucks. The way how he play was totally random and no skills involved for his play
Rarran once again proving that it's a matter of how much time you spend on on it rather than skill.
I like the part when Rarran's Lament started playing when he was stuck in Gold hell.
This must have taken such a huge mental toll, congrats !
i appreciate the wind walker music
wind walker XD
@@harleygarner-wood7899 okay that L snuck in there. guess i'll hold it on this one
6:52 Thanks for the Breakdown, way better this way 😑👌
This was a dope challenge. But that fucking thumbnail is killing me The meme arrow pointing to senjin shield master denoting it is in fact a basic card is just so comical. Holy shit.
My man doing WORK keeping this game alive
Hey, I'm from Brazil and I started playing HS again these days. What's the best deck I can borrow? I liked the DH deck because it helps me level up quickly, but I've always liked playing control more.
One of the best HS videos I have seen in a very long time!
Wow. 3:30 you can hear Rarran drop his narrator speech pattern for a moment
I love that Roffle was there solely to sass you during the end of your challenge 😂
Reaching Legend with Splendiferous Whizbang? It would be a cool challenge...
Very good Rarran, now try only basic cards and see how long you can go without ending it all
So basically Rarran can do it, as long as Maxie is holding his hand.
He never said coaches weren't allowed.
@@KnownAsKenji Come on now. If I tell you which cards to play to win a game did you achieve anything? Of course not. Coaching would be being off stream telling you how to play the deck and the letting you do it on your own. You know it.
"Do you like to play with Basic Cards?
I like it!" -Uther
Do you like to play vs Maev?
Having just come back to hearthstone for the first time in 10 years, this video made me feel justified in my feelings on the shitty beginner state
Hope this video takes absolutely off! Was fun watching this on stream!
I"m leaving a like and a comment on this. This challenge is so fucking hard. Rarran you won Hearthstone. There is no reason to play ever again. Everyone like and comment this challenge was savage.
The most difficult part of the challenge might be winning streak is hard to keep up with the mere possible decks we can build.
> video titled "Can I Reach Legend Using Only Basic Cards?"
> looks inside
> 0 basic cards used
insert that one cat image
Yeah, 0 basic lands smh...
It's cards that are available free through rewards track, basically a deck you can get without buying any packs.
@@hegel19943 I'm referring to the fact that there is a specific rarity called basic which are the cards without a rarity gem. But hitting Legend with those would be genuinely impossible imo.
Certified Masochistic Rarran Banger.
Maxie is the frkn goat for helping out and the effort you put into it to actually do this, is insane
Nice to see legend can still be reached with a free deck. But the beginning of the climb shows how bad the state of the game is with powercreep
Really love the commentary ❤
holy he actually did it
Definitely appreciate the skills displayed, but I find it disappointing that the solution is always to find the hyper-aggro deck and win. Especially in this meta where control is actively punished, it just reinforces my decision to quit this xpac.
When he needed it most, Rarran ended up being helped by Maxx "C", how the tables have turned.
Yesterday I went against the DK deck with only uncraftable cards, Rarran breaking the meta
I have no idea what any of these cards do and was a bit surprised nothing was explained, but I assume it's because most people here already know Hearthstone cards. I found here through the recent videos about the TCG Shop Simulator & Rarran's appearances in Magic the Noah gameshows, and don't know much about Hearthstone.
These challenges are also stream compilations. Not really informative, just a retelling of his run through the challenge
Yup - Rarran started with Hearthstone videos, do we assume ppl here know how the game works
I built this hunter deck
Shows standart hunter
Never change Rarran
Love the BOTW soundtrack in the background
Will the sealed expansion series continue? Been two weeks since last episode :(
Back in the day it was hard reaching legends, nowadays it's easy just time consuming
Bro. ❤ Congrats!! 🎉 Honor mention to Maxie, he is a beast!
This was a really impressive getting to legend challenge. Well played!
can I get to Legend using basic cards in 24h using someone else's deck and being told what to do by that same guy?
watch the video to find out!
Every time you make one of these videos im like wow this is the hardest most impossible challege yet.... then i look at you stream titles XD
What a tale. What a story.
oh it was maxiebon :D thats amazing
Much more harder is hit even 12-2 in arena or heroic brawl then achive legend rank. If we be talking about old ranking system then is something comletely diferent, but now is easyer go from bronz 5 to legend then going from rank 5 to legend in old system. I personaly hit legend during my boring lesson at scholl.
2:21 evolve shaman. Idk how you didnt think of it.
I remember how hard it used to be to climb to legend. Nowadays you just spam one good deck and you can get there in like 3 h
Last time I was this early Dr. Boom was broken
Got baited by senjin shieldmasta, got disappointed
Damn that background music is nostalgic!
One of the best players in the world, coaches top 1% player in the world to get to Platinum 5.
At the end there I'm pretty sure Deathrattles *always* goes before Reborn, even if Reskha died from Thassarian's Deathrattle it would not steal it...
~But I'm glad say I'm wrong if someone proves it to me.
You are right, but only for the current stack. For example, if a 2 damage aoe effect was played, Thessalian deathrattle triggers, then reska triggers, then Thessalian is reborn. However, thassArian dies before reska dies, meaning his deathrattle and reborn both activate before reska’s deathrattle. You can test it out, this is how it works.
Boosted to legend*
everybody say thank you maxie ❤️🔥
New idea
I climbed to legend using lowest winrate cards in the game
Now can you beat legend using only legendaries? It might seem simple but most legendaries, at least when i played, used to need supporting normal, rare and epic cards.
Great work Rarran

Insanely impressive! I would not do it. Just getting to Diamond with meta decks is hard as is 😝
The zelda music goes crazy
Regular legend player rarren gets legend again
U crazy bro, respect
Welcome to not having dust
How long did it take for Maxie to do this?
Absolutely legendary and inspirational shit
Maxie was the MVP
Him proving there is no excuse not to hit legend. No matter what you have on your profile.
Pleeeeeeeease do only legendaries (or commons)
It's so funny to see a regular legend player suffering in silver like I do every month. I spent way too much time struggling to reach gold last month. I've only seen diamond once in my career. Lol
I still haven’t hit legend playing normally for 10+ years 😅
Hearthstone tastes better with a friend
