For shaman, I'm surprised that you did not mention the thrall's gift. It was a good closer with bloodlust, could deal with big minons with hex and was used in nature shaman when it could offer lighting bolt.
Since he added Quick Pick for rogue, which was not from this year, I would actually say Flash of Lightning for shaman. The card carried an entire extremely frustrating archetype
Wild went from a fun and interesting gamemode with a diverse set of decks and archetypes to an uninteractive dumpster fire and now a renathal only meta. Ever since barrens, wild has been terrible.
@lettucebob7395 yeah I pretty much I agree with ya. I put the quotations around op ‘cause I wasn’t too thrilled with calling it that but it was the best Alex
I started playing again this year when the Perils mini-set came out and the ups and downs since then have been something, it's crazy how fast they balance patch the game now compared to a few years ago
Since I don't have many cards and thus can't play many classes effectively I only have a very limited perspective but here are those that have blown me away this year. Druid - Trogg Gemtosser Mage - Reliquary Researcher (I only had secret mage and control warrior when I started) Shaman - Razzle Dazzler + Honorable mention thralls gift
I know this is a comment on a giveaway video but I feel like it would also be a good time for a heartfelt message. My cat who has been with me for the majority of my life passed away yesterday. He was the closest I ever was with a pet, living in my room with me and sleeping in my bed every night. We were inseparable. Your videos are among those that are currently helping me pass time as I grieve. Even complaining about Hearthstone can have a great impact on helping people going through rough times. Thank you for always delivering something I can watch to take my mind off of life.
As a fellow cat owner, though mine is only 6 years old, I know somewhere down the road this day is coming for me, too... and it already breaks my heart, as this guy is far and away the best cat I have ever owned in my nearly 50 years. My complete and absolute condolences to you
@@Maverick7613 Thank you. I always knew the day would come but I also always believed he would make it much closer to 20 years old. He was a very special cat. Always give those little friends all the love you can
I'm just happy with far Zeddy has come, he's in the Hearthstone's creator program, can talk to some people on the team directly and they still let him criticise them when he feels the need to
I started playing back in 2014, when Heartstone first came out, stopped in the Witchwood, like many others, and came back a few weeks before perils in paradise, and let me just say, that I have come back to a meta that in power level obviously is far beyond classic, but in dynamics very much reminds me of those good old days, and since many content creators from that day stopped making HS content you and Rarran are my definite favorites.
Thanks for making these videos. Definitely helped ease me back into constructed after not playing for seven years. I even used your starship DK deck to hit legend for the first time!
Hey Zeddy, just wanted to thank you for keeping us informed about hearthstone related stuff on a shortest notice. You definitely deserve more subs. Keep cooking, chef!
There aren’t too many cards this year that I can say I was really excited to play, but my three standouts are Sonya, amalgam, and oddly paraglide. Paraglide was exactly what QL DH needed in wild, and I’ve been on various iterations of Il’gynoth since it dropped.
Started watching your videos lately, just wanted to let you know, you are definitely one of my favorite RUclipsrs and hope you continue making good content :D
Definitely agree on popup book being a shaman staple. I know its probably not best of the year, but I really enjoyed dropping the shaman tourist and seeing what it turned my minions into as well.
Yes I agree for your Warrior pick. Brann is an awesome drop after playing **get 2 mana next turn** on turn 5. Zilliax mandatory lol and Reno in the same deck (makin' opponents STAY SALTY!) 🤣 Nice cameo of the Alleycat. Funny sound when it is played (Brrrrraaaoooww) lol
What a year, I feel there has been a huge direction shift from having minions fighting for the board to a blast your opponent in the face either with spells or a particular minion. I hope that the years coming forward there is a shift back to more of a battler for the board than just a blaster to my face :( type game. Keep up the good content Zeddy!!
After returning to Hearthstone after a few years, I’m really enjoying your content-it's been incredibly helpful. Now, I’m just waiting for those expansions that I don’t have cards rotating out.
My one and only way of keeping up with hearthstone. Could make it somewhat biased but since I agree mostly and enjoying the portrait presentations I see no reason to change that 😊
I really like the themes of the expansions this year... well loved the call backs from WHizbang and love Great Dark Beyond, perils as a theme was okay, but Tourist is an awesome idea!
Congratulations you have won my giveaway for $50 of Hearthstone packs! To claim your prize please message me either on my discord or zeddyhs@gmail.com with proof of your RUclips account!
Honestly, I'm still playing some random fun decks. I know I'll be losing a lot, but just winning with what is meta isn't fun anymore. I'm looking forward for a monk class announcement tho, since it's my favourite class in WoW. Hope you guys have a great new year!!
i have been watching you since stormwind allthough hearthstone wasnt as bad all that time your content wasnt as good! keep up with great work love your vid
came back to the game a few weeks ago after a few years' hiatus and i loved it... for about 2 weeks before the honeymoon period wore off and I am a little sad where the game is at but I'm holding on to hope it gets better
So, will you do a vid talking about what cards could be added to core next year? I'd really like it if Windblade stayed for Rogue, it feels like finally some stuff is actually working after so long
There were actually allot of good cards this year even if most slid under the meta. I firmly believe most of the year impacted wild more than standard in most cases. Myself I like the versatility of Dream planner Zephrys... A great utility slot no matter what class you'd play.
I hope next year, they're able to bring the power level down a bit. I definitely feel like the great dark beyond is going in the right direction, although they also have cards like a zero mana board clear with a 15/15 body, so I can only cross my fingers there

Just got back into the game after leaving during Rastakhan's Rumble and man a lot has changed, still running the loaner plague helya deck and trying to (and failing miserably) to climb out of silver with it
For shaman, I'm surprised that you did not mention the thrall's gift. It was a good closer with bloodlust, could deal with big minons with hex and was used in nature shaman when it could offer lighting bolt.
It’s going to feel so great seeing all these gifts leave soon. Tired of all these warrior, shaman and Druid ones
Man.
only issue is hex sucks nowadays. either those huge minions have battlecries that cannot play around it or elusive (unkilliax)
Since he added Quick Pick for rogue, which was not from this year, I would actually say Flash of Lightning for shaman. The card carried an entire extremely frustrating archetype
@taliongaming4340 the deepholm mini set did in fact come out this year
@@vinnythewebsurfer Are they being removed??
Miracle sales man is my top pick, it goes in aggro decks and control decks. 1 2/2 that lets you draw is insane
That came out in Showdown, i'm pretty sure not the mini-set so wouldn't be eligible
We gotta have a wild review this was the most impactful year for wild balance wise by far
absolutely agree, i think wild metagame is very interesting and constantly evolving, tonnes of content there that zeddy could report on!
Wild went from a fun and interesting gamemode with a diverse set of decks and archetypes to an uninteractive dumpster fire and now a renathal only meta. Ever since barrens, wild has been terrible.
@@oskarmaxx please no, I prefer my world remains pristine
The wild meta game has been as good as it has been this year for a long time. Long may it continue.
@@fefino1411Wild could have been much worse right now, just be grateful that they did a few Wild balance changes this year and it didn’t get ignored
It says a lot when one year of cards had impacted wild more than the last 3 years combined
Remember when 8 damage Alexstrasza was problematic?
yup, would barely be playable now
Remember when Azure Drake was Hall of Famed?
It never was problematic come on lol this is revisionist history. The only “op” Alex was the dragon queen one.
@awesomepossomist more like the opposite, it wasn't op in hindsight
@lettucebob7395 yeah I pretty much I agree with ya. I put the quotations around op ‘cause I wasn’t too thrilled with calling it that but it was the best Alex
Thanks for all the content this year! Happy new year 🎉
I started playing again this year when the Perils mini-set came out and the ups and downs since then have been something, it's crazy how fast they balance patch the game now compared to a few years ago
Merry Christmas zeddy, glad I happen to stumble upon your content
Even with all of the crazy cards in this standard cycle, nothing will be more baffling than the release of Skyla with the ultra buffed conman/tsunami.
Since I don't have many cards and thus can't play many classes effectively I only have a very limited perspective but here are those that have blown me away this year.
Druid - Trogg Gemtosser
Mage - Reliquary Researcher (I only had secret mage and control warrior when I started)
Shaman - Razzle Dazzler + Honorable mention thralls gift
Marrin definitely felt like a major player this expansion year. It basically was in every deck till it was nerfed
Appreciate the constant update be it in terms of content (patch reviews, best decks to climb with) and news ( twitch drops etc). Happy Holidays Zeddy!

Thanks for making these videos. Definitely helped ease me back into constructed after not playing for seven years. I even used your starship DK deck to hit legend for the first time!
The Headless Horseman - DK
Sigil of Skydiving - DH
Sleep Under the Stars - DRUID
Exarch Naielle - HUNTER
Portalmancer Skyla - MAGE
Painter's Virtue - PALADIN
Timewinder Zarimi - PRIEST
Sonya Waterdancer - ROGUE
Razzle-Dazzler - SHAMAN
Wheel of DEATH!!! - WARLOCK
Hamm, the Hungry - WARRIOR
Zilliax Deluxe 3000 - NEUTRAL
Hey Zeddy, just wanted to thank you for keeping us informed about hearthstone related stuff on a shortest notice. You definitely deserve more subs. Keep cooking, chef!
Thanks for all you have done! This has been a rough year for hearthstone but your videos make it all better.

Paraglide was exactly what QL DH needed in wild, and I’ve been on various iterations of Il’gynoth since it dropped.

Thank you for another year of your daily videos! Dispite the power level issues, the dark beyond has been my favourite set this year
Definitely agree on popup book being a shaman staple. I know its probably not best of the year, but I really enjoyed dropping the shaman tourist and seeing what it turned my minions into as well.
Thanks for all the content throughout the year, Zeddy! Keep up the good work!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Thank you Zeddy, i made sure to watch all your videos all year. This was the first year i hit legend, and i give you some credit for it
Yes I agree for your Warrior pick. Brann is an awesome drop after playing **get 2 mana next turn** on turn 5.
Zilliax mandatory lol and Reno in the same deck (makin' opponents STAY SALTY!) 🤣

Just recently got back into hearthstone and your videos have been very helpful/insightful. Thank you and happy holidays!
Thanks kindly for running the giveaway. Happy Holidays.
Thank you for all your work and videos over this year, hope you have had a good Christmas so far, well better then mine I have been and still am ill 🤧
Zeddy still doing HS content! 🤩 I haven't been here in years. Good to see ya.
thanks for always running giveaways, happy holidays zeddy
I hope next year is a more level meta with all that is rotating. Happy holidays Zeddy!
Recently got back into hearthstone and your videos have been a great help!
This year has added a nice bump to wins with Shaman for me! Asteroid Shaman has been one of those decks that just scratches that itch.
Awesome vid, def glad to get back into HS recently, but man standard has been so crazy since the old days of my bread and butter patron warrior LOL
Happy holidays man, thanks for bringing informative and entertaining Hearthstone content.
Was not expecting a new giveaway this soon!
Hope you had a good holiday zeddy and hopefully the next year will be a little calmer.
Merry Christmas, thanks for the past year of info. For my liking, I have enjoyed the astroid package.
After returning to Hearthstone after a few years, I’m really enjoying your content-it's been incredibly helpful. Now, I’m just waiting for those expansions that I don’t have cards rotating out.
Thank for the great content and giveaways this year Zeddy. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the meta recall over the past year! Appreciate your videos
Merry christmas Zeddy! Here's to another year of your videos and of hearthstone :)
Thanks again for the content Zeddy, happy holidays!
My one and only way of keeping up with hearthstone. Could make it somewhat biased but since I agree mostly and enjoying the portrait presentations I see no reason to change that 😊
Thank you for all the content this year! Keep up the good work ! Happy new year 🎉
Nice video as usual Zeddy, love this look back at cards from the year.
Merry christmas and a happy new year! ^^
Happy New year Zeddy, thanks for the update always
Thanks for the content this year. Happy holidays! :)
Thanks for helping me keep up with this game since coming back recently.
Remember 3/4 spider tank with no effects being an ultimate card?
Thanks for another great year of videos!!! Can't wait for the new mini set!
Merry Christmas Zeddy, thanks for all your great videos and keep up the entertainment next year.
Thanks for all the videos this year!
Thanks Zeddy for the videos in this year. Im mostly playing hs thanks to your efforts :)
Coming back to Hearthsone since 2015. It's so confusing but very fun when you understand the concepts :D
I really like the themes of the expansions this year... well loved the call backs from WHizbang and love Great Dark Beyond, perils as a theme was okay, but Tourist is an awesome idea!
Umpires grasp is a good choice, I remember when the ladder was just DH and the mirror match because I liked that deck lol
Just back recently as an OG hearthstone player. Love the videos!
I haven’t had much time to play this year due to family health problems, but I keep up to date with your videos, I appreciate your hard work.
happy new year zeddy

A good recap to close the year, happy holidays to everyone.
Happy Hollidays Zeddy and everybody else
Thanks for giving so much to your community !
Thank you for always giving back, mr Zeddy! You're like a Hearthstone Santa
Merry Christmas Zeddy. Love your content hope to see more of it in the new year. 😘
Honestly, I'm still playing some random fun decks. I know I'll be losing a lot, but just winning with what is meta isn't fun anymore.
I'm looking forward for a monk class announcement tho, since it's my favourite class in WoW.
Hope you guys have a great new year!!
i have been watching you since stormwind allthough hearthstone wasnt as bad all that time your content wasnt as good! keep up with great work love your vid
Thx Zeddy for your work ! Happy new years and best for 2025
Love you long time Zeddy!
Hope you're holidays are going well.
i like how many combo you can play with Zilliax, hope they do more like this in the future
Druid is hydration station by Faaar
Mage is Siff the tourist only saw play for one patch but siff has been playable since it was introduced
Can't wait to see what cards and/or updates breaks the game and/or it's content creators next year.
started playing HS recently because of you :)
I just started playing again, but now, as a free to play love, the videos. Happy New Year to all.
came back to the game a few weeks ago after a few years' hiatus and i loved it... for about 2 weeks before the honeymoon period wore off and I am a little sad where the game is at but I'm holding on to hope it gets better
Happy Christmas and New Year, Zeddy! 🎄
Thanks for the opportunity Zeddy
keeping fingers crossed for you to get to that 90k subs
So, will you do a vid talking about what cards could be added to core next year? I'd really like it if Windblade stayed for Rogue, it feels like finally some stuff is actually working after so long

I hope next year, they're able to bring the power level down a bit. I definitely feel like the great dark beyond is going in the right direction, although they also have cards like a zero mana board clear with a 15/15 body, so I can only cross my fingers there
Zilliax was and still is insanely good, the amount of matchups it can flip on its own is incredible

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Zeddy!
Curious about how the mini-set will turn out to be
I would be lost without your videos Zeddy!!
Happy hollydays, zeddy!
Zeddy, your Hearthstone content is always top-notch! Keep up the great work - you're a true gem in the Hearthstone community.
I agree with the Rogue hot-take 8:41
Easily Mass Production, because it boosted an already strong deck - Demon Seed Warlock in Wild and made it much stronger.
Happy Holidays Zeddy
Thanks for the giveaway, Zeddy!!! Imagine getting a Christmas present like this one!!! 🤩
90k subs, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got back into the game after leaving during Rastakhan's Rumble and man a lot has changed, still running the loaner plague helya deck and trying to (and failing miserably) to climb out of silver with it
druid has so many great cards this year. really enjoy playing this class.
Happy New Year Zeddy!!!
Hi Zeddy ! Keep up the great stuff you are making! Guten Rutsch in neue Jahr as we in Germany are saying for Happy New Year ! ;)^^
Amazing video, happy holidays and happy new year 🎉
