Jeremy Hoffman Sorry, I don't know Magic. Are you saying that Magic also has substantial variation in cost for different decks? Or are you saying that cancerous Magic decks are also cheap?
xVizee no. im a f2p player and i fucking hate rush decks. control vs control is why i play hs, its fun. playing against zoo, or playing as zoo is fucking mindless.
Zoo II: The Zooening They thought Warlock has played his cards...they were wrong. You've cleared the board, but this summer prepare for wave two. *zoo intensifies*
I love rush decks, I love the aggro meta. There I said it. Call it whatever you want, cancer etc. At least it's not as boring as control warrior matchups..
shuvo rahman most other control types they are, but warrior is boring since theres a few dif between players using it and most play that type of warrior.
HS isn't a hard game you don't need a high IQ to play it, control are easy to use too, most of the time we all know luck is what make someone to win or not, i seen many matches against people with awful decks with many topdeck luck and won against top players. The day blizzard take out that luck thing, we gonna start to see who got skill and who just simply didn't know how to play dif decks.
Just wanted to post my control priest that had 2 losses from rank 18-10: 2x Circle of Healing 1x Holy Smite 2x Power word: Shield 2x Northshire Cleric 1x Shadow Word: Pain 2x Shadowboxer 2x Shrinkmeister 2x Wild Pyromancer 1x Shadow Word: Death 1x Thoughtsteal 1x Injured Blademaster 2x Shadow Madness 2x Auchenai Soulpriest 1x Piloted Shredder 1x Holy Nova 1x Holy Fire 1x Lightbomb 1x Cabal Shadow Priest 1x Sylvanas 1x Ragnaros the Firelord 1x Sneed's Old Shredder 1x Ysera Holy fire can replace Rag, Cabal can replace Sylvanas, Any big sticky minion can replace Sneeds, Ysera sees almost no play and can be switched for holy nova/Lightbomb/holy smite. 1 big thing with this deck is that you never go face, always go for max value off cards as long as you are safe. In some cases you have to spend two cards to kill/steal 1 creature, but play it smart and dont waste cards early.
I made a continual board clear ice mage deck and it counters decks like zoo and hunter nicely. It's not perfected yet, but it's fun taking a shit on noobs who play no skill decks.
I been crafting a warrior control deck for ages. Getting all of those legendary cards is annoying. Yesterday, I simply grabbed all the mechs I had and made a zooMech deck. Afterward, I won 6 matches in 7. This deck is simply crazy! It's so easy to make and play. Besides, it's super reliable. It's not like warrior control that in many games you rely on fiery war axe to win. However, it gets quite boring but yeah you win a lot. You also get gold faster that way.
I tried the zoo warlock. Ran into control paladin twice and lost both times. The second game was brutal, I played around the board clear which he was obviously holding by keeping a nerubian egg alive and not playing the rest of my hand until I forced an equality consecrate. Then I played my hand and he equality pyromancered -_-
Kripparian, are there any non-Naxx subsitutes for Undertaker, since the nerf? I simply can't rake up enough gold for naxx, plus the nerf seems pretty heavy. Thanks for the deck in general though, been looking for a nice cheap zoo!
just spend 1 days worth of wages and you'll have them all..... why is tha such a BIG FUCKING DEAL... You pay £40/$60 for 8 hours of gameplay but won't do the same for endless hours of gameplay.
TheeFreakiishlyz because its not ending with 60 dollars. your 60 dollar are here more like 72€ for 60 cards. and even then its not enough. i already bought 15 packs for gvg with real money and it felt like water drop on hot stone. i played HS since release and never invested any money in it. and why not paying? cause F2P sucks. its designed so you spend more and more money. you need more like 240$ to have them kinda all~
Akaji Blubb Then don't try and get them all. It is not the kind of thing where you drop some money and unlock all content, this is supposed to be something you have to dedicate lots of time to unlock everything. either spend the time, the money, or don't unlock everything.
Daniel Brinkerhoff i dedicated the time and i still have not all cards of classic. time is bullshit. this game is designed for pay. if u are dubious of my skill...started with 55 gold recetly...to 150 and played arena for 11 days straight. so i was averaging 7 wins+. point is, you WILL lose in arena sooner or later and then what? constructed i have no chance even though i bought 15 pack+3 promo+3 gold= 21 gvg packs. i dislike being manipulated, thats why i bought zelda for 3ds instead for 37€ (45$). HS is a great gamne, but its evil cause the hook is there and then u got to pay and pay.
Found that since gvg as I don't have many packs I kept losing with all my old faithful decks. .. so as I had more shaman gvg cards I stuck them all in a deck in a zooey way. .. and bam I started having fun and winning again
The mech Mage is VERY strong if any not so strong players are reading this im fairly new and I just hit rank 7 with it I didn't have 3 of these cards so I put it a fireball poly and frost bolt. And tbh them spells have won me a lot of games so I would advise putting them in. If your second and have mech warper always coin it out its so strong! Have fun :)
I didnt meant 7 cost mana baron, but 4 mana baron. Its doing quite decent work in this deck. Spawned couple 4/4 from egs, dealed 4 dmg from hug goblins and did nice jogling with 4x spider and harvest golem spawns :P.
Hey kripp!You said u dont need to use money on this decks.But there is a undertaker inside which to get will take u alot of money or alot of gold.Any chances u can change that card for something else?
Blizzard: We have noticed that deathrattle rush decks are getting really strong lately. Therefore we have decided to buff them with faster, stronger cards that can resist early removal from all classes to make the even more effective.
I've build that exact lock deck, but instead of fel reaver, I use imp-losion. I don't know whether that card is the key or my lack of zoo play experience, I literally struggle to win any game down in 15-16. It is like 1:8 W/L ratio :(
Keegan Wray he probobly will not..... all he plays now is Heartstone, kinda depressing imo :(. Its also funny how he says "i did it all" in poe :D, so much has changed... its a mystery why he has not taken up the challange especially now when Bloodlines is out which is similar to nemesis which he loved and was one of the top players.
Has anybody tried a more midrange mech Warlock? Mech warper, summoning portal, healbot, junkbot, gazlov, all the mech taunts, the 1 mana warlock spells and the most sticky mechs you can find. Maybe a sheep or two. I am playing a watered down variant lacking many epics and legendarys but a reasonable hand can stop zoo really effective and junkbots outscale most control decks (additionally they require the mechs to scale what makes them less usefull after a mindcontrol). And many mechs stick really well against aoe boardclear.
Dusted a couple of cards to make up the shortfall and as a longtime zoo player played a quick couple of games which both happened to be against other zoo type warlocks and the deck totally owned. I dont have the Reaver but for fun stuck a Rag in instead to kill off a game :D
From what i have seen from rank 15 to aound 7 there are a lot of slow decks. I have never seen warlock zoo, just a couple mage rush decks, and the standard huntard ofc.
Defender of argus is dead if you're behind on board? only if you have 0 minions otherwise i think its a must have, for the record ive played zoo since season 1 ;)
Blizzard clearly wants the game to be "faster", considering they not only add almost exclusively zoo-like synergy cards with every expansion (Undertaker + Deathrattle nonsense in Naxx, and now mechs), the control cards that do get added are prohibitively costed as epics and legendaries so the majority of players can't try a solid control deck even if they want to (who would want to spend all of the dust required to build a feign death sylvanas/cairne/etc. control hunter deck when it'll probably take you to rank 6 at most anyway, while the face deck will take you to legend?). And cards like Lil' Exorcist are too garbage-tier to ever counter the rush metas, especially since they're dead cards against other decks. Deathlord is a better anti-aggro card than Lil' Exorcist and Deathlord is terrible. The problem is, 'fast' games are far more luck oriented because you have fewer draws to pull the proper answers and make combos work. Games involving aggro decks are almost entirely determined by matchup and the first few draws rather than any actual skill on either side. You either get the draws you need to stabilize or you lose. Even when you draw the perfect answer - as the priest did by having coin auchenai circle - it can often be not enough. Being able to play a turn 3 Yeti with Mechwarper meant even with circle you still had board control so it really did nothing to turn the game around. It takes no skill to play fast decks, and in turn it takes no skill to play against them either. The reason fast decks are played isn't because people are 'good' at them; they just have good matchups - they're statistically more likely to rush you down than you are to draw the cards needed to stabilize with most control decks, especially with Warlock being able to draw twice and Hunter having things like Flare, Tracking and Mad Scientist to thin their deck. Play enough games as any of the better Zoo variants and you'll eventually reach legend regardless of skill (well, okay, if you make huge misplays all the time probably not, but hearthstone isn't a difficult enough game that you should be making big misplays after enough games), it's simply a statistical inevitability.
This lock mech deck is shockingly bad. I just made it sacrificing another deck and went from rank 15 to 20 in 2 hours! So everyone hating it no need :-)
Also consider getting a video editor so more vids can be posted daily, if you don't want to pay I guess giving sub perks etc would probably entice a lot of people to do it

I've always found it extremely amusing that the cheapest decks are also the most cancerous. Great job with that, Blizzard.
I think you're being sarcastic, but it is actually great. You can't make a competitive Magic deck for under $100.
Jeremy Hoffman well for us f2p Players its Great...
Jeremy Hoffman Sorry, I don't know Magic. Are you saying that Magic also has substantial variation in cost for different decks? Or are you saying that cancerous Magic decks are also cheap?
riiiight becuase handlock isnt an expensive tumor inducing deck.
xVizee no. im a f2p player and i fucking hate rush decks. control vs control is why i play hs, its fun. playing against zoo, or playing as zoo is fucking mindless.

Zoo II: The Zooening
They thought Warlock has played his cards...they were wrong.
You've cleared the board, but this summer prepare for wave two.
*zoo intensifies*
free to play decks that require naxrammus
8:33 Gameplay starts.
I love rush decks, I love the aggro meta. There I said it. Call it whatever you want, cancer etc.
At least it's not as boring as control warrior matchups..
That's your opnion in my opnion control is great
shuvo rahman most other control types they are, but warrior is boring since theres a few dif between players using it and most play that type of warrior.

"its basicly like zoo on crack" Krip2014 loooooooooool this one gt me in tears
Just wanted to post my control priest that had 2 losses from rank 18-10:
2x Circle of Healing
1x Holy Smite
2x Power word: Shield
2x Northshire Cleric
1x Shadow Word: Pain
2x Shadowboxer
2x Shrinkmeister
2x Wild Pyromancer
1x Shadow Word: Death
1x Thoughtsteal
1x Injured Blademaster
2x Shadow Madness
2x Auchenai Soulpriest
1x Piloted Shredder
1x Holy Nova
1x Holy Fire
1x Lightbomb
1x Cabal Shadow Priest
1x Sylvanas
1x Ragnaros the Firelord
1x Sneed's Old Shredder
1x Ysera
Holy fire can replace Rag, Cabal can replace Sylvanas, Any big sticky minion can replace Sneeds, Ysera sees almost no play and can be switched for holy nova/Lightbomb/holy smite.
1 big thing with this deck is that you never go face, always go for max value off cards as long as you are safe. In some cases you have to spend two cards to kill/steal 1 creature, but play it smart and dont waste cards early.
I made a continual board clear ice mage deck and it counters decks like zoo and hunter nicely. It's not perfected yet, but it's fun taking a shit on noobs who play no skill decks.
Sorry but you can't have the words skill and Mage in the same comment
Once you get into rank 5ish it's a ton of control warriors. Freeze mage is literally 0% winrate against control warriors unless they are 30 IQ.
8dolfonrunescape
even with iq 30, if they just armor up all game they dont lose lol
Bob karlsson My "commeny"? Just shut the fuck up before you embarass yourself some more.
6:41 ''It's basically Zoo on crack''. Hilarious quote haha
Hey i don't have the naxx expansion thing so what would i replace with undertaker
1 flaw with this budget deck.. the Deathrattle combo requires a card that needs every Quarter of Nax unlocked :(
I`m running an enhance mechanic in this deck now with some great results. Still trying out which card it should be swapped with.
Ok so if I don't have a undertaker in zoomech what do I replace it with?
I been crafting a warrior control deck for ages. Getting all of those legendary cards is annoying.
Yesterday, I simply grabbed all the mechs I had and made a zooMech deck. Afterward, I won 6 matches in 7. This deck is simply crazy! It's so easy to make and play. Besides, it's super reliable. It's not like warrior control that in many games you rely on fiery war axe to win.
However, it gets quite boring but yeah you win a lot. You also get gold faster that way.
When I saw the old undertaker I had a vietnam flashback
Hey guys . How did hafus pictures get leaked online ?
Her ex-boyfriend.
Krzysiekoy ohh now it makes sense .... how can she still stream after hew chohas are out on the internet
i hear trump has something to do with it... he has folder called hafu nude on his desktop
give-aways.net/hearthstone/index.php?id=NhuUE8MPB3
Funkz That is a scam btw.
You could add the patches package to these decks right?
can i put seagiant into the warlock instead of fel reaver, dont have the card?
Whish card I can take out if I want to put Antonaidas into this deck?
how do u get those naxxramar cards
it costs a bunch of money right?
Got a GvG ad before this video. The circle is complete
I still dont want to buy naxx to get the egg and some others card so how can i make that happen?
What's a decent substitute for undertaker? (Working on getting the 2nd wing of naxx atm)
Man, i don't have Nax so i can't get undertaker. What's a good replacement?
I tried the zoo warlock. Ran into control paladin twice and lost both times. The second game was brutal, I played around the board clear which he was obviously holding by keeping a nerubian egg alive and not playing the rest of my hand until I forced an equality consecrate. Then I played my hand and he equality pyromancered -_-
Kripparian, are there any non-Naxx subsitutes for Undertaker, since the nerf? I simply can't rake up enough gold for naxx, plus the nerf seems pretty heavy. Thanks for the deck in general though, been looking for a nice cheap zoo!
but the point is kripp....i dont even own THESE cheap cards that you recommend. going backl to grinding some dailies :/
Well then, grind, or play casual, or enjoy the low ranks, or give Blizzard some well earned money for packs. :-)
just spend 1 days worth of wages and you'll have them all..... why is tha such a BIG FUCKING DEAL... You pay £40/$60 for 8 hours of gameplay but won't do the same for endless hours of gameplay.

HS is a great gamne, but its evil cause the hook is there and then u got to pay and pay.
I removed 1 tinkertown tech and mech yeti & added Jeeves and Fel cannon, been working great so far (won a legendary warrior)
Found that since gvg as I don't have many packs I kept losing with all my old faithful decks. .. so as I had more shaman gvg cards I stuck them all in a deck in a zooey way. .. and bam I started having fun and winning again
i dont have undertaker is there any good replacement?
Just don't use that card it brings cancer
Does this Deck work even when you dont have Fel Reaver and 2 abusive??
I dig that golden warrior's name. One of my favourite Fire emblem heroes :3
Owning GvG on a budget in 2016: Just dust it all for classic Keepo
The mech Mage is VERY strong if any not so strong players are reading this im fairly new and I just hit rank 7 with it I didn't have 3 of these cards so I put it a fireball poly and frost bolt. And tbh them spells have won me a lot of games so I would advise putting them in. If your second and have mech warper always coin it out its so strong! Have fun :)
"A lot of you guys don't spend any money in hearthstone and you are like: I'M POOR TEACH ME THE CASUALMAGIC KRIPP-SENPAI"
Kripparrian I just built that lock deck. Went 6-0, then lost to a heal-lock. What do you think about an antique heal bot or mistress of pain in there?
What about Enhance-O Mechano instead of Reaver?
*Kripp's life (short explanation):*
*Now he have one.*
Whats better for xixo zoo if u have no sea giant? Kelthuzad or Baron?
come on create your own decks dude net decking us so useless
They are to high cost for zoo
You cant win unless you make a similar deck
I didnt meant 7 cost mana baron, but 4 mana baron. Its doing quite decent work in this deck. Spawned couple 4/4 from egs, dealed 4 dmg from hug goblins and did nice jogling with 4x spider and harvest golem spawns :P.
What do I do If a don't have undertaker :(
That is the 4th wing of Naxx or something
That is a lot of gold
Hey kripp!You said u dont need to use money on this decks.But there is a undertaker inside which to get will take u alot of money or alot of gold.Any chances u can change that card for something else?
17:07 thats me in Kripp FL Chat. :D
Sup, Kripp. What should i put in mage deck instead of Foe Reaper, somth fatty like bould ogre?
Thanks Kripp for the budget video :D
Blizzard: We have noticed that deathrattle rush decks are getting really strong lately. Therefore we have decided to buff them with faster, stronger cards that can resist early removal from all classes to make the even more effective.

I legit got a hearthstone commercial for this video
The one problem being some of those cards are from beyond what was free in Naxx. Sad times.
Oh look, Kripp made a video on Cancer Mage. Oh boy I love ladder.
I love fel reaver's sound when he get's played. BUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
9/11 WAS IN INSIDE JOB!! Best moment ever.
Think you might try out the new path of exile expansion Kripp? We need your min-maxing genius!
Keegan Wray he probobly will not..... all he plays now is Heartstone, kinda depressing imo :(. Its also funny how he says "i did it all" in poe :D, so much has changed... its a mystery why he has not taken up the challange especially now when Bloodlines is out which is similar to nemesis which he loved and was one of the top players.
TheLazySpoiledKitty I acually think he will try it out... for like 2 days. Then it's back to HS.
Has anybody tried a more midrange mech Warlock? Mech warper, summoning portal, healbot, junkbot, gazlov, all the mech taunts, the 1 mana warlock spells and the most sticky mechs you can find. Maybe a sheep or two. I am playing a watered down variant lacking many epics and legendarys but a reasonable hand can stop zoo really effective and junkbots outscale most control decks (additionally they require the mechs to scale what makes them less usefull after a mindcontrol).

New and exciting Hearthstone! Zoo for every class! Yay...
Our overlord, Kripparrian.
why did he buy a pack at the end?
Does it turn out like that Kripp?
Does it really turn out like that Kripp?
I gatta tell you Kripp, it's not turning out like that
@Kripp: gotta update ur Harvest Golem image, it doesnt say "mech" in it!
That wedding ring tho Kripp
Archmage Antonidas Mech Mage is also decent, Stealth Antonidas and just fireball all day.
cant find the lock deck to work. alot of board clears, and massive taunts...
From what i have seen from rank 15 to aound 7 there are a lot of slow decks. I have never seen warlock zoo, just a couple mage rush decks, and the standard huntard ofc.
well just tried this 12 and 0 deck and lost three times in a row great deck idea anymore golden deck choices you care to make?
That german guy that asked kripp to do drugs with him though.
Kripp succumbed to cancer.
Defender of argus is dead if you're behind on board? only if you have 0 minions otherwise i think its a must have, for the record ive played zoo since season 1 ;)
Since you're using Undertaker (implying that the person will have naxxrammas), Loatheb might be a decent substitute for the Fel Reaver...
wow, you created a zoo were you chanced a lepper gnome for a clockwork gnome OMG YOUR SO SMART
Dat Bouncing Blade value though
What is hurtstone?
Edit: I got it. he means Hearthstone
The only thing you forgot is that nax cards aren't free to play...
I like how at 8:55 some german asked you to do drugs with him >.>
since when was undertaker free to play
15:55 hahaha almost all 4 attack priest immune xDDD
What a surprise zoo face still dominates the meta. Who would of thought?
So this is hearthstone: play a rush deck or copy paste a control deck from the net?
the thing is this isnt a budget deck it runs cards form naxxramus which was super expensive.
Blizzard clearly wants the game to be "faster", considering they not only add almost exclusively zoo-like synergy cards with every expansion (Undertaker + Deathrattle nonsense in Naxx, and now mechs), the control cards that do get added are prohibitively costed as epics and legendaries so the majority of players can't try a solid control deck even if they want to (who would want to spend all of the dust required to build a feign death sylvanas/cairne/etc. control hunter deck when it'll probably take you to rank 6 at most anyway, while the face deck will take you to legend?). And cards like Lil' Exorcist are too garbage-tier to ever counter the rush metas, especially since they're dead cards against other decks. Deathlord is a better anti-aggro card than Lil' Exorcist and Deathlord is terrible.
The problem is, 'fast' games are far more luck oriented because you have fewer draws to pull the proper answers and make combos work. Games involving aggro decks are almost entirely determined by matchup and the first few draws rather than any actual skill on either side. You either get the draws you need to stabilize or you lose. Even when you draw the perfect answer - as the priest did by having coin auchenai circle - it can often be not enough. Being able to play a turn 3 Yeti with Mechwarper meant even with circle you still had board control so it really did nothing to turn the game around.
It takes no skill to play fast decks, and in turn it takes no skill to play against them either. The reason fast decks are played isn't because people are 'good' at them; they just have good matchups - they're statistically more likely to rush you down than you are to draw the cards needed to stabilize with most control decks, especially with Warlock being able to draw twice and Hunter having things like Flare, Tracking and Mad Scientist to thin their deck. Play enough games as any of the better Zoo variants and you'll eventually reach legend regardless of skill (well, okay, if you make huge misplays all the time probably not, but hearthstone isn't a difficult enough game that you should be making big misplays after enough games), it's simply a statistical inevitability.
I must suck, because I got my ass handed to me twice in a row with that zoolock deck at rank 12.
Thanks alot i've been pwning with that mage deck with a few minor changes
hey kripp.. you should show the actual cards, like for example.. harvest golem is now a mech, but no1 really seems to realize..
>all the annoying mechs
>no Annoy-O Tron
._.
THANK YOU KRIPP! I LOVE YOU
I actually got an ad for hearthstone on this vid XD
comon kripp go legend and then do such videos again...
This lock mech deck is shockingly bad. I just made it sacrificing another deck and went from rank 15 to 20 in 2 hours! So everyone hating it no need :-)
This is a lot slower than the original zoo
Kripp is so hype~ PogChamp
i wouldn't mind having to pay 40$ if that gave me access to all the basic cards
Undertaker costs a lot. More then two legendaries
Yeah I made a Shaman Mechanic its pretty good
well done kripp, u made a zoo deck
Biggest problem for me is gonna be grinding a f2p naxx
DAT BOUNCING BLADE DOE
Kripp you rock man thanks for the lock deck LOVE IT!
Also consider getting a video editor so more vids can be posted daily, if you don't want to pay I guess giving sub perks etc would probably entice a lot of people to do it
the mech zoolock is pretty bad, like its not full mech or full zoo synergy and depends heavily on rng
kripp man tnx alot i made similar deck to mage deck u showed its awesome
