Hearthstone - The Witchwood - Card Review

ladies and gentlemen boys and girls it's time for the most powerful which would card review that will ever exist at any point in time here to celebrate with me is a brew a cold brew coffee I'm really into these things man because you can just toss the caffeine back one at a time mmm hope you don't find on this wonderful Tuesday morning where this card review will not be a cowards stream no hell no here's the thing doing a card review for a card game is kind of like having 100 sentences from an upcoming book and trying to write the entire plot of that entire novel it's gonna be wrong and most of the time this causes streamers I've myself included have fallen into this trap of staying these very vacillating the equivocating sort of non-committal reviews of cards this could be good it could be bad it's not really clear right now this is not a coward stream we're gonna kick things off by talking about how which would Apple is a garbage card what is this anti tempo card sped to mana get permission to spend to mana three more times at a later date and for what reward perhaps I get something sick something swole up no you get a 2/2 treant what what oh my god Blizzard Entertainment I want you to know that today you had literally slapped me in the face and I mean literally literally I woke up and it was red and swollen and I said oh my god it's in the shape of a which would Apple blizzard blizzard blizzard I truly think that this card um you know I don't know I got to be honest with you marketer Lotus blew my mind a little bit market the Lotus blew my mind a little bit with the way in which it's energized with things like spreading plague aka also total and so maybe which what Apple has some merit in combination with other cards but not a chance there's no way anyone's gonna run this and if they are a bit they're a vegetarian all right let's go down to card number three drew to the side choose one transform into a 4-2 with rush or two for with taught first of all I would like to note that if you are if you are an adult male as I am whenever I do cleaning in the house I clean and a lot of stuff gets put away and gets meat and and all this sort of thing but a lot of the time the thing that stays out is all the cleaning supplies so here we have a good old roll of paper towels that is perfect for blowing my nose because I have just had jalapeno hot sauce on my salad ah what an adult male thing to do I'm gonna do another round of cleaning where I put away all the cleaning supplies and whatnot drew to the side so let's let's really read into what the identity of this card has chose one transform into a four - that doesn't have charge because that's apparently the most balanced impossible thing that there ever were like every single charge card that's ever been printed I think has been nerfed ever a hundred percent of a wolfrider you really feel American don't get me wrong um or two four with taunt sincerely oh I think that this is a three man a deal for damage so it's kind of like a shadow bolt or it can be some sort of anti agro tool this feels like the most mediocre thing I've ever seen this is the student who did pretty solid and went to a college that you've never heard of and has a job now and he has a family you know what I mean like this card it's fine it's the most fine thing it hurts how fine it is and I mean maybe I can get my fandral staghelm to get a 4/4 tot with rush oh my god this is as fun as cutting a coupon out to buy the same I get every week at the grocery store I don't know I don't know I don't know there's nothing here that really excites me did we die what good dime well whatever I made a fantastic jokin it's gonna be gone forever that'll be only for the YouTube folk alright I didn't do anything and we're back so here's drew to the sidewith rush here's drew to the sidewith taunt hmm hmm excellent excellent excellent all right drew to the side look at how nearly badass this guy is he's really not he's really not yeah so here's good thing we are well there was some sort of tech difficulty dropper Oni thing bread the pepperoni but it seems to be all fine now who knows who knows I didn't do anything on my end and it fixed itself fantastic ferocious Hal drawcard gained 1 armor for each card in your hand ah doing your warrior impersonation are you druid oh my goodness by the way I just want to throw out there any who don't know the rush mechanic is charged but you can't attack enemy heroes dad says the only difference between rush in charge and if I if I stop doing my little you know so I'm doing my little role that we're in the mood for it today rush is a much easier thing to balance because charge every charge card has the risk of creating some sort of an interactive combo where you just blow your opponent up such as molten Giants with charge and so on and so forth mmm excuse me so Russia's a more flexible version of charge I think the design space is much much much larger for rush either way all right let's get back to it ferocious howl are we serious you try to push hand drew it on me Blizzard Blizzard druids with armor feels kind of good ruied is historically one of my top three favorite classes ever ferocious howl is just ridiculous this card is ridiculous this is top tier card this is like 3 Kibler Orgazmo faces hmm that's how good ferocious paddle is if you're a druid and you want to do anything control you're gonna bang into ferocious howls no problem and I didn't even mean that of a euphemism but you're probably gonna want to use it at your school later to sound cooler ferocious howl is top tier top rank or number one best car that we've seen thus far out of the three cards one of which was a garbage Apple next card witching hour summon a random friendly beast that died this game let us divine witching hour okay let me talk to you about how I get aroused when I play a game of hearthstone everything has its limit of you get one of this thing or two of this thing right that's it that's all you ever get if you are making a deck in hearthstone but then there's a little cheater cheater pumpkin eater cards like echo of medivh duplicate and the witching hour it's another way to wait a minute get another torrontés so my firm evaluation of this and I stand firm in my conviction is that witching hour is the best way to get to Turan toises after you've had one Taranto's whoo that's triple Taranto's hour that's the triple threat how can you even deal with it you make a deck one to rant is to watching hours 27 other random spells just have it autocomplete witching hour is clearly a card that is going to benefit from some sort of nice combo with beasts I think that this has niche potential highly niche potential primarily for the fist-pumping of day 9 TV forest guide at the end of your turn both players reminisce about how much they miss the coldlight oracle this is an interesting card because it feeds into nostalgia more so than any other card we've seen thus far and I think that it's it's it's a weird card because most of the time you don't get any benefit from it you know what I mean or you don't get any immediate benefit from it your opponent gets the benefit first yeah you know I draw card I spend my mana and then I draw a card and then on your turn you have now drawn two cards so you get more value you didn't have to spend any mana and the more I'm talking about this the forest guide is a lie no get the cold light back in here come on come on forest guide Oh at the end of your turn both players draw cough I want to be very clear about something I have seen cards at some point I've seen some of the Wychwood cards at some point but what I have not done is gone through all of them begin to think about any of the synergy of the other card except for right now so we might come back to this and be like actually with a Sutter card but for now I even see no other cards man all I have is a key and I don't even know where the lock is all right this doesn't fix nothing for me it opens no new doors B witched guardian taunt battle cry again plus one health for each card in your hand sensational sensational card the bewitched Guardian is conducive to boners around the world druid players are gonna run this puppy control druid oh my god you thought the Twilight Drake was a good card well guess what I'm drawing nine armor with my three mana Holly card and then I'm gonna plop down the Guardian that's gonna become a for 9 with taught oh yes yes yes yes and if you watch the Wychwood card reveal stream yesterday which was so fun which was so awesome playing that with ben brode which simultaneously brought me joy because hearthstone is fun as but also brought me joy because some of my decisions apparently hurt lots of people oh that always feels good that just there's something in me where I just was like why did you lose that game and I'm like you know what it was to hurt specifically you I saw that you were having a good day and I wanted it to just go downhill from there and I really think that slog Woggle what's his name shad rocket club Clegg Woggle what's his name the the nine mana six six that does the battle cries clock floral flock what's his name croc toggle slag dog ler what is it what is his name um flag boggler it's not tog Woggle Chazz Winkle what is the name of it shutter walk that's a shutter walk shutter walk shutter walk shutter walk shutter walk shutter walk it's cool car we're gonna take a look at it we're gonna have some story time alright so but which Guardian tip top top of the line tier card except if you play arena which is a mode that I don't think anyone plays so you don't have to worry about those people this is a tip top top rank or fist pumper right here whispering woods someone a11 whisk for each card in your hand anti good this is the opposite of good this is this is the sort of card you set into your deck if you want to just let someone know that you own two epic okay whispering woods you're gonna flood with one once okay let's just take a moment to let let us define what made the aggro paladin good right now what made the aggro pallet in a good thing in the current meta it's that it has many ways to refloat the board with small 1/1 threats why is that good because the first time he plays call to arms or plays a bunch of one once from a dry Gulch jailer we're lost in the jungle when all of that happens you play a sweeper and you clear it and then they play um the call to darkness first a stand against darkness to play stand against darkness seven five one once you play another sweeper they play another call against darkness such which I literally just found the name but I lost it it's gone she's out the door she's never coming back and she deleted me from her phone oh my god I'll just look at her facebook and go but I have feelings anyways the name of the cards gone but it's been cast and a whole bunch of one ones have been spawned on the board and because you spent two sweepers clearing the last stand against darkness in the last call to arms at this point in time you run out of sweepers and the fact that they have many one ones mean that your single target threat struggles to deal with them especially if they have divine shields from a steward of dark Shire for that reason the the multiple reef lettings of small dudes of one once and two twos and whatnot winds up inevitably overwhelming people so when I look at whispering woods you could argue hey this is a one-man of cheaper stand against darkness but I'll remind you that stand against Darkness is a card that hung out the garbage dumpster with Oscar the Grouch until there were enough summons of extra things in the form of call to arms dry Gulch jailer and so on and so forth so I think Whispering Woods is also going to be Oscar the Grouch's left-hand man for Druids throughout the set I mean maybe there's a way to just make them tutus if you buck them with the mark of the Lotus but what you're gonna run which would apple in your deck - LM a Oh No all right moving right along the wisp top-tier card it's zero mana anything divided by zero is infinite value just ask the mathematician Trump not the president but the actual Trump the original Trump all right gloom stag oh my god that's this should be a category on a dating site right you know what I'm saying what are your interests I'm in the mood for gloom Staggs oh yes taunt battle cry if your deck has only odd cost cards game plus two plus two therefore this could be a five mana for 800 five man of for eight who do we appreciate killing priest killing priest right it's for eight but talk seems pretty good um it isn't the odd cost Dex and quite frankly when I'm trying really hard to make a solid deck I don't pay any attention to the curve so I've wound up with many odd cost only Dex with zero upside I think that there's a sufficient amount of intimidating odd cards for druid that I think gloom stag is going to be fine I think it's fine no one is ever going to say the sentence oh no a doom stag ah no one ever is gonna say that because it's a for 8 with Taunton and odd druid I mean what what cards do you not get an odd brood wild growth wrath swipe recycle it was never good so I think the gloom star stag is gonna be fine I think it's gonna be the finest card ever and if I'm wrong I want you to know you're wrong it's fine it's fine this is this is okay this is the color of the paint on the walls at a hospital it's fine okay dark fallen avianna oh my god avianna could summon dusk fallen avianna and they could look at each other and be like why is a leaf blower on outside why there's no leaves it's concrete in the courtyard why is it shut the window if this happens on each players term the first card played costs zero I don't know I don't know I don't shut the window okay all right he's back it's day nine all right you know this card I don't know this car this card it's like Nickelback like I I get I get that people like it I get that people like it I understand and I'm not saying it's bad I'm saying that I don't get it he's what I'm saying you know what I mean this card you play it you have five mana left over you don't get the benefit from it and then what's your player's turn your player goes thank you cuz that emote still exists in hearthstone so he's gonna get a free card he's gonna blow you up and then what are you gonna do get back to your turn and play your zero mana apple yeah I bet I think that does fall in avianna might work with excellent you get to avión us lose one avianna and pull out a combo that's totally fine maybe you get a bunch of free 1/1 wisps you see what I mean anti synergistic three seven four five is I mean it's stats I think in arena there's an arena player who's like I never read the card text I just look at what the power number is and what the health number is due to do so maybe it's good for an arena player but not for me I think does Colin avianna is going to do what most of my legendaries do which is wind up in a deck somehow as I trundle my way to rank twenty Splinter graft choose a friendly minion at a ten ten copy to your hand that costs ten buck yes are you kidding me the timmy inside me the Timmy within oh my god the Tim you within should be the name of my autobiography splinter Graf is the best card that we've seen so far far and away I don't know if it's the winningest card I don't know if it's gonna send you on the rocket ship to Rank 1 legend but it is gonna send you on the rocket ship to self-satisfaction confidence you'll become a better public speaker your grades will go up your health will improve your weight will go down your will sharpen and suddenly you'll be able to hear odor things will just increase in your ability to be a human being when you Jam a splinter graph right up on the board summoning another 10 10 and let me show you the dirty combo that happened to me yesterday let me show you the dirty thing that happened yesterday we scroll back up to yeah there it is gain plus 1 health for each card in your hand take a moment imagine you clone this puppy huh it's a 10/10 now huh how much health does it get even more than that so sick anyway else is hilarious here you can Splinter graph to the stone tusky boar i really feel that the stone tusky boar is the residentsleeper of every single set in hearthstone at any point in time the stone tusky boar can become the most intimidating card and snarf stone oh my god it's a 10 mana pyroblast that sticks on the board splinter graft is excellent all right hunting Mastiff this is in photo of me before I've had any coffee in the morning hunting Mastiff is brilliant oh my god there is someone on the hearthstone design team that's gonna have the sequel to a beautiful map mind made about him and it's because he came up with the hunting Mastiff ok this designer no doubt was saying how can we make a control hunter card that makes sense how how this is brilliant this is brilliant I love this because if you are an against an aggressive deck rush in many ways can be viewed simply as removal as just a single target removal I play the card and I can deal this much power damage to a target creature right away boom fantastic and for any of you don't know the echo keyword echo means when you play this card you can play it again as many times as you want within that turn so for instance if I played a hunting Mastiff and passed it would be gone I would not be able to do it anymore but if on the turn I have 8 mana I could play the hunting Mastiff for two and then play it again for two more so now I've used four mana and then again and again so I could have cast this four more times as my microphone screwed up hope my my phone isn't screwing up this microphone I might have for a place I think that one of the chords is a little screwed up so sorry about that strata but anyway so you would be able to get for hunting Mastiffs out and that's that's fantastic that's sensational that's sensational this is an unbelievable card against aggro and if you are against a control deck that doesn't even have a board you can still summon like five hunting Mastiffs and hunters don't have almost any good card draw like none none the only card I really have is tracking excuse me they have a starving Buzzard Oh hunter has no good card draw okay and so the question is how do you construct cards for a control hunter that account for the fact that there's not good card draw options because you can't make all the cards too powerful otherwise hunters just trivially easy because then they don't need card draw and then if you you know put card draw and hunter then all of a sudden they have access to their amazing variety of spells cuz hunter spells just for cost are some of the highest value cards in the game so this this is amazing give that man a raise well done dire frenzy oh my god yes dire frenzy top tier car top tier unbelievable sensational glorious even even with just one good synergistic target dire frenzy ah ah so good so good here's the way that dire frenzy works okay you there is a card called dingle horns scaled on I don't remember the name of it it's a 1 3 neutral to cost beast that has Rush and lifesteal so again imagine a 2 mana 1 3 with Russian life steal when you cast dire frenzy on it it becomes a 4 6 with Russian lifesteal pretty good pretty pretty pretty pretty good good good good okay so all of a sudden you can just draw very cheap re healers now if any of you are starting to go oh hey that's pretty groovy I would like you to use your powerful memory because I know every person tuned in is beautiful intelligent and very memorable if I ever met you at a party remember this guy can you imagine making this + o + 3 + 2 oh it's gonna be a gonna be a 5 for echo rush for - do you understand that do you do you see this do you see this because remember hunting Mastiff it's just a beast with keywords so you can all of a sudden just put it on the dog and then another dog comes out and another dog comes out and another dog comes out do you remember this of course you do you're brilliant awesome yes hunting Mastiff top ranker card combined with dire frenzy top ranker hunter yes that's it yeah well just the first dog get plus 3 plus 3 shouldn't shouldn't echo doesn't keep the stats I think it does I'm nearly certain it does it's not how echo works no you're wrong you're wrong well it's the same card what come on people are saying it doesn't work like that you don't work like that you don't get it this it has to work this way echo doesn't get the bus why wouldn't it get the Buffs why would it not get the box because if it is in my hand is a 5/5 for you draw it and it's a 5 for you draw it and it's a 5 for and then you play it it should be a 5 for still in your hand why who says it doesn't whoever says it does you know what the guy that invented the hunting Mastiff hope he gets fired hope he is fired he designed this incorrectly this I didn't tie it neat it it's in your hand is a 2/1 no it's in your hand is a 5-4 no you guys you don't let me explain how this works okay when you die or frenzy a creature it says shuffle three copies into your deck with plus three plus three so when you draw the card it has plus three plus three in your hand has plus three plus three in your hand I am not backing down I will never give this one up okay I will never give this up you draw it in your hands so for instance when I was on the stream you would draw it and it would be a four six in your hand all right make sure you understand this clearly the beast that I've played so imagine I have played the hunting Mastiff okay let's think about this let me you know what let me explain this real slowly okay I play a hunting Mastiff for two it's a two one what's in my hand a two one echoed hunting Mastiff do you understand do you understand do you understand good right I then cast dire frenzy on it now the thing on the board is a 5-4 because it's get gotten plus three plus three the initial echo that's in my hand it's still a 2-1 it's still a 2-1 we got a 5-4 on the board we got a 2-1 in the hand all right all right you see this and then and then the dyer frenzy it puts a five for hunting Mastiff in the deck so when i draw it it says five for echo rush now some of you are quoting rules texted me and you are all time outed we are going on a banning spree this is it gives you the original copy of the card but it's what it's five for in the hand that's so stupid echoed copies or is the original version of the card copies do not take enhanced at or cost changes unless it's being provided by an aura like summing portal or Sorcerer's Apprentice you know what that's the opposite of fun Dyer frenzy garbage to your card not good awful no one should run this card you should uninstall hunter go on to the online trading system for hearthstone and trade your hunter for another shopping because shamans are in that's so stupid I do think I do think I do think hunting Mastiff I'm not sure that the + 3 + 3 counts as a buff I'm not certain I'm not certain I don't know but this is a card until it's that's true okay this should it should work it should be a 5-4 in your hand that you can echo it should be a 5-4 in your hand when you draw it that doesn't make any sense I don't even know if I can scroll down anymore I don't know he should finish the card review I don't know why I even waste my time doing this when the rules tax don't work exactly the way that i emotionally need them to I need this I need this okay I just this is so important to me this is so important to me you know the nagas see which can still make zero mana Giants but I just need a dire frenzied Buffs to stick on the Mastiffs I'm so upset right now this doesn't make any sense you know what no-one's gonna play Hunter anyway vile broods scarier god vile brutes get her sounds like me after I've had too much McDonald's in the evening vile brood skitter er won three poisonous rush now this hmm it's basically a five-man assassinate right you should play thing and you pop it no problem hmm so mad look everyone stop talking if you even type Mastiffs in the chat or echo in the chat you're out of here even if we're looking at another echo cards you just go look at that that's it okay we're not even talking about this this discussion is done it is over okay it is over it really should buff the mast if though that it means to buff the mat it should okay so the vile brood skitter er oh my god everyone's typing Mastiffs an echo that's all they're typing oh god why did I set myself up for that I walked right into that I thought it was open I didn't know it as a sliding glass door so I think this is not great I mean this is not great I really use a not great card I think it's not great card it's not good you know what I'd like to give a shout out to MIT a nerd who didn't type Mastiff who didn't type type echo but instead drew an ASCII penis respect respect meant in their respect actually this is that great assassinate is not generally run in rogue I mean certainly they have a different suite of removal cards this is only high value if there are a to X minion a to X mania you know where you can pop it with the vial Bruce get er er and then you have a 1/1 skitter er and you can do another pop I just I just don't think I just don't think I just only this is that great I'm all in all just underwhelmed with all poisonous cards all poisonous cards are just it's not good poisonous things they don't bother me right I live in an apartment complex I'm not worried about poison I'm really not dusk Haven Hunter 2:5 stealth each trance is in your hand swap its attack in health all right suddenly we don't care so much about Mastiffs anymore listen to this dusk Haven Hunter this thing is is gonna be a top to your card I think this is a top tier card for one reason and one reason alone cat trick the four tooth stealth a lot of damage to the face when that thing gets proct a lot of damage dust cave and hunter almost certainly you're gonna want to wait until it's a 5-2 stealth plop that on to the battlefield and you know you can it's a lot it's a lot of damaged a lot of damage to the face a lot of damage to the face mr. Starks is oddly enough doesn't pile brute combo well with dire frenzy no cuz no one's gonna run this card because the rules text around it is offensive to me it's kind of now Matt yeah I think this is actually gonna be kind of a top tier card because aggro hunter is always on the verge of being just like ridiculously stupidly strong I really think that five to stealth is is really good is really good we could also ask the question why not run the jungle Panther down why not run the jungle Panther down I think the fact it's a three mana for two um it's just a little bit too much just getting the extra damage out there actually think is I think it's valuable it's not that's not beast though it's not a beast wing blast I think this is fine I think this is fine this is fine it's fine it's fine card it's fine it's a fine young card yeah I think the wing blast it looks like it's real real mega good like when I first looked at this I was like Oh hunter will now be too powerful I think that a lot of the time this is going to be a four damage 4/4 and I just think it's gonna be fine to be able to clear stuff the big advantage that wing black's provides is that it can be a one mana deal for damage but recall that hunters are not able to draw a lot of cards so you have to be extraordinarily efficient with the cards that you have in hand that's the reason I look at this and I say it's okay if you're up against a deck that's quickly building a board and dumping their hand and then you like unleash the hounds to clear one thing clear another thing and you've only used four mana okay okay I think that things like this start to seem reasonable but again you would still be spending two cards and your hand size is shrinking a lot I think the number one instance where wing blast is going to show up and be incredible is if you are a hunter that's trying to just rush your opponent down and you need just a few extra tools to punch through for damage and wing blast is a little bit more flexible in order to do that so so yeah so yeah so yeah wind blast I actually when I first looked this I was like oh my god stupidly overpowered but then I just thought about how how the hunters car draw was and then I really waited and then I spent some time alone with myself and I was like damn you right carrying Drake Bell - minion died this turn game poisonous nothing about poison excites me I don't I'm not in any poison clubs you know I I don't listen to any song that has the word poison in it except for the prodigy song poison it's a very good song outside of that I don't think I have any sort of affinity towards poisonous things if a minion died this turn game poisonous I mean this is this is a Super Arena card certainly it's a Super Arena card it's super ridiculously arena II it's a dragon and I don't recall what the other dragons are in the set so perhaps that that's a little bit of synergy there but this card might actually be sensational this car listen this is not a coward stream I'm not gonna sit here and equivocate this is a top-tier hunter card and let me tell you why okay hunter has not so nice car draw they need to get a lot of theta just burst you down and then shoot you in the face with a little hunter's bow hero power and if you've ever tried to do a control hunter you really need value out of the cards like the Catherina winter wind whatever her name is who summons a beast and summons a beast on battle cry and death rattle securing and Drake feels like a slightly tenderer version of that if a minion died this turn gain poisonous okay you kill a minion perhaps you have a weapon out pop one in the face you play this carrying Drake I feel like is often going to be a two for one I feel like it's very often gonna be a two for one I think it's gonna be a two for one this is not going to be a win condition card but this is gonna be a very nice bridge for a hunter who's doing something contrôlée to get to a win condition card I think the Drake I think the Drake is I think I think his mixtape is fire yeah I think hearing Drake is it he's good rat trap after your opponent place three cards and return some two six six rat this I think is gonna be a very nice one up very rarely going to be more than a one of it seems that I mean the the benefit of a rat trap okay homie we're gonna think out loud rat trap after Epona placed three cards and it turns them into six six rat if you're against an aggro deck sometimes they'll play three in a turn but if you just if you you know do what the count does and Sesame Street and you count you'll see that a lot of the time is just two cards in a turn two cards in a turn and so part of me imagines like Oh turn to I slam a rat trap down and then all of a sudden turn three I have a six six rat against an aggro deck yeah I think that would have to be a very specific aggro deck it's so often against an aggro deck not going to proc early games that you can get value out of it so it's kind of like having a and card what about against control Dex what about against control Dex um yeah maybe maybe yeah I mean obviously I think the immediate thing that you look at when you see rat trap is you go echo if someone's echoing a bunch you're gonna get a six six and okay yeah but um it seems so conditional I I'm not I'm not excited about this I'm not excited about this I think that um it would be sufficiently straightforward to identify because most of the Hunter cards are about attacking your face if you attack the face you proc misdirection freezing trap explosive trap wandering monster and of course everyone here is really asking why did he start with misdirection because I'm day nine and that's my favorite secret so I actually think this is mediocre I think this is mediocre and I want to be extremely clear EKKO is a mechanic not a methodology of winning aggro decks have a clear methodology of winning combo control decks have clear methodologies of winning so that's why I'm evaluating rat trap against aggro and control because those are the methodologies of winning if one of those methodologies involves a lot of echo cards okay maybe rat trap will have some merit but you know just because it clearly opposes echo cards does not make it valuable in any regard I think the one very specific circumstances that miracle rogue is always going to exist and this works great against miracle rogue it doesn't work ready go smear her own it just it just rocks against miracle rogue it just blasts doom rat never mind this cards tight look at its name doom rat oh my God look at this rat the art is just a big rat and you know his eyes are green and he's snarling at you he's just like us look at the doom rat oh he's got a little bone sticking out of the back of his neck let's be honest with the way us nerds hunched yeah I got one of those stick me too yeah this is the c5 vertebra well done doom wrath alright talks monger whenever you play a1 cost minion give it poisonous I've never been a fan of poison I'm not at a poison club I don't do activities that are poison related I don't really listen any music that has poison in it except for The Prodigy song plays and that's a great one I'm just not excited by that I think that this is helping contribute to the stone tusk borer themes that we've been seeing out here all the time but it's a 2 4 4 4 that requires me to play a1 cost minion again let's ask ourselves the questions what are methodologies of winning you know aggro decks combo decks control decks mid-range decks tend to be some broad archetypes that we think about what we might say is hey this is a good tool and aggro deck because I'll have lots of inexpensive minions and I can play the stalks longer out and then I'll have poisonous to help me punch through feels very very dicey because on turn 4 do you want to play a 2 4 that has up side later no you want to play a hound master there as up side now what about in a controller situation where I have a tox monger plays stone tusky boar that has charge and do now poisonous and then bonks someone in the teeth I've played two cards to kill one card and now I have a dirty little too far out I think that this is this is this is absolute badness do you like that tempered like how intemperate I was I could have said something real foul I didn't said said badness I think this card I think this card is as useful as a DVD rewinder hound Master sha your other minions have Rush strong stat lines and I got to be honest with you I think this is a nice little card I think this is a nice little card in mid-range and possibly even aggro hunters because it's very sticky on turn 4 3 6 is an intimidating presence as is your other minions have rush there's a hunter cards that have death rattle can proc on this the turn it's played so I have a creature with death rattle that hits and summons minions those now have rush and then continue to head in there and you know if I think about tundra Rhino the two-five beast card that has charge and all your other beasts have charge that card is very very sick and it has lower stats than this on turn 5 it's that that upside is so huge and so broad so your other minions have rush I think how master sha I'm all about it top ranker card I give it 5 Kibler Orgazmo faces oh this one's excellent amorous which sounds like a daytime television show hosted by a dragon that really couldn't make it in Hollywood battlecry double the attack and health of all minions in your hand my autobiography is through the eyes of a Timmy and this card is great this card oh yeah what I'm a hunter and I get to turn 10 I like to slam down something that will have value not on this turn but in the future oh my gosh yes yeah yeah oh my can you imagine if I had primordial Drake's and then I amorous the primordial Drake's and then instead of being four eights there 816 mm-hm oh my god Oh My yes Everest Emirates is duh best M arisa's is gonna be an absolute hotness card it's gonna be a hot in this card because hunters if you play any control hunters you you a lot of times have four or five cards in hand this is what you have four or five cards the fact that Emrys is making them all swole up while being himself fairly swole as is yeah and there's part of me that's like Shaun no one's gonna ever make a successful control hunter but because I was raised Catholic anytime I have feelings that I don't want to deal with what I do is I push it down right here until just under this little place in my heart and I have those feelings and I keep there until I die so I'm gonna do that with Emrys and just say that this card is gonna be unbelievable in in all hundred ex especially in the control hunter that's fantastic okay so snap freeze snap freeze freeze a minion if it's already frozen destroy it okay okay snap freeze snap freeze freeze a minion if it's already frozen destroy it this feels like whoever came up with shatter was on the right track came back the shadow designer she was just like dude I have just the thing I have just the thing and I know I know I'm power creeping all over my own past work but look at this this is how you make caballes tomé draws even more satisfying Frieza manian if it's already frozen destroy it how do I think that this will even function this I for whatever reason for whatever reason hmm you'll recall that there is a to mana mage card that if you papa dude with your hero power it freezes it and that's three steps I have to play the thing hero power it and then still have two men left over and I then oh my god it's really bad isn't it oh my god oh my god wait a minute snap freeze is this is a snap dust okay no no no no no no no no this is not a coward stream where we try to construct a circumstance in which this would succeed that's what we're gonna do after the card review when I'm laddering later today snap freeze is oh man oh this is like drinking orange juice with candy canes nothing goes together yeah yeah you know other cards can freeze other cars can destroy and if you just combine them together I just feel I just it my mouth burns and is sour I think snap freeze is the kind of card that I will still try to make work I know myself this is me this is a matter of me reflecting on Who I am as a person and identifying that snap freeze is that it's important to me as a card and we're gonna probably try to build a snap freeze deck oh my god I left my plate of food on your spot I'm sorry despi I'm sorry sweetheart I'm I'm kind of on a rager went five and a half miles this morning woo then I quickly got out of the shower got a protein shake put some creatine in there because I want to get all swole up and then I got a salad with coffee that's where all this energy is coming from but snap freeze certainly if you get it dust it or keep it until they buff it and then dust it just because you're spiteful at heart next card black cat top ranker amazing card an amazing amazing card this card is so good this card this card is as good as the Twilight series that's how good it is and some of you are like but aren't I supposed to make fun of the Twilight series sure you can do whatever you want but it's all it's sold like billions okay Billy it's like it's like mom's love it okay black cat a 3 3 4 3 is a pretty fine stat line it's fine it's not a 3 4 4 3 which we have a lot of in the current set but it has spell damage plus 1 it's a stickier and it draws a card in the odd cost Dex I think this is gonna be absolute top ranker also because um you know I got the chance to do a little Theory crafting and playing against an odd only mage and black cat was fantastic in it this is the best this is great this is mmm it is as good as Twilight vex crow whenever you cast a spell summon a doomsayer and yell yell loudly and say Oh what are the odds likely okay Kermit Kermit the hearthstone player vex crow vex crow looks like someone has a green light go sniper rifle pointed at the forehead of the vex crow whenever you cast a spell summon a random to cost minion this I suppose could have merit in arena I suppose but a 3 3 4 4 it just feels bad to play and if we ever want to proc the random to cost minion we're gonna need a cast a spell I think vex Crow is heinous I think it's I think it's it's offensive to crows you know I'm not into this I'm not in this this is this isn't this is actually this this gets a rain ad what were they thinking seal of approval yeah yeah referencing other streamers there's a lot of great streamers and hearthstone tons I just love like are some streamers all great man we could have the the raine ad what were they thinking or the rain that I told you so we had the Kibler Orgazmo face we even have the kripparian pretty good so I think that this gets the anti positivity award cinder storm this is arkanar missiles of course the there's the greater arcane missiles which is the arcane asta missiles deal 5 damage randomly split among all enemies this seems not good except in the circumstance where you're running an odd only or a no duplicates mage and you just need some kind of flexible removal this is nice against a lot of the flood one health decks that exist or law the divine shield decks that exist for paladin it's fine it's fine it's fine I'm this is uh yeah it's whatever it doesn't it doesn't do anything for me you know it's like Diet Coke sure yeah no I mean no cow it tastes like metal I don't know I just not it's not doing it bon fire elemental if you played an elemental last term draw a card this is good this is good this is a really really really good card this card do you want to hear my opinion on it it's really really good this card you know what new Sunshine's said it best this card is literally fire this card is literally fire this is so good let me explain to you why it's good already in elemental themed decks we see that the servant of cala most two four five this is discover an elemental is a very legit important card in many many many elemental decks the the problem with any discover card is that you are pulling from outside your deck so you don't have predictability and control over what the out is going to be you only have semi control if you get three okay elementals and you have to pick one yeah however bonfire elemental is an exceptionally nice card that synergizes with what you already have in your deck now note that there are a lot of very good elementals that a mage would already want to be running to have synergy with Jana there's the arcane artificer a defensive armor gain card we have the arcane tyrant the four for that cost zero if you cast a big spell last term we have Baron Geddon which is a very nice sweeper that helps heal we have bon fire elemental now that I think you might only need one or two more elementals perhaps tar creepers in a mage deck to be able to run this and get an extraordinarily efficient form of card draw in the deck this I think is a fantastic card I think it's a fantastic fantastic card it's also flexible because with frost lit Jana gaining a life steal from elementals you don't want to draw the card in some circumstances you just would rather have a 5/5 with life steel banging down on the board yeah that's right I'm making little bird noises what do you think about that despi yeah yeah you're my little princess you're my buddy you just hang out with me while I stream let me move the hydrogen peroxide so you don't burn yourself cheerio collector whenever you draw a card game plus one plus one hey Arena players do you like value Oh growing and growing oh my god the curio collect or a little tough to stick will it do good as time goes on outside of arena I think this card is it is about as valuable as a sack of hot doorknobs I think that this card is not good this card is not going to be valuable in a deck that's running a hearthstone client I think that in this kind of situation if you have curio collector I mean maybe someone's like no you're not you're not gonna put elements in there you're not gonna do an Allen s curio collector deck because that's what we call taking the tempo mage and making it weaker that's like I have an idea I really like my Honda let me attach a few more steering wheels to it so all my friends can drive when we're driving oh my gosh actually not leave it that's such a smart idea in an uber you have fake steering wheels for all the passengers it works for children and all over passengers as far as I can tell behave like children so look at that let's put those in there gosh I'm always coming up with good ideas curio collector book of spectres draw three cards discard any spells drawn yes top to your card unbelievable sensational yes yeah book of specters book of specters yes oh my god oh my god I think that this is sick this is so sick this is sick this is ridiculously good this is I mean the thing is I used to be like no spells in a deck imagine putting in a small amount of spells like you just you know perhaps a pinch of spells Wow okay print Cal that shows that there's a huge amount of power and mostly minion based decks if you have the good minions and Prince tell us of decks still kind of exists I think of book of spectres to be able to continuously draw and get some of those big power things and I think honestly elemental cards could be pretty good yeah I mean this well I really I mean honestly arcane intellect is the is the baseline three mana draw - it's literally replace itself and draw another card and the fact that book inspectors will I think often be a two-man a draw two and discard one spell that's already great um holy holy guacamole I think this is amazing I use amazed I mean is an unbelievable card I think this is an unbelievable card because it's just begging for you to find a deck that works with it it's begging it's not like it's not like snap freeze that's just like oh just imagine all the ways you can freeze things and have a whole card in your hand dedicated to destroying them after you had a lot of setup I mean I almost I got lightheaded using that voice for that long of a sentence like you don't construct a deck around snap freeze you construct a deck around book of specters this card is fantastic this card is good arcane keysmith battlecry discover a secret put it onto the battlefield there's you can tell that there's some jerks on team five at Blizzard Wow what who is in the meeting and was like no I think mysterious challenger was healthy for the meta for a little bit I think that if we back off on that a little bit we can put this this card is actually silly good this card is silly good and it's gonna hurt me this card is despi yeah lie down lie down you're getting stressed out you should lie down a good cat you've been doing a really good job of being a cat today arcane keysmith is disgusting I think it's disgusting tempo mage what secrets is already very very good and for whatever reason when I looked at this my brain interpret this is a 2 4 it's a 2 2 4 4 sorry I I was I was stuck in 2 for land I don't know why I don't know I owe this to 4th it's not it's not as good the stats are much lower I sincerely looked at this and thought it was a 2/4 and I was just like vomit vomit vomit vomit vomit vomit oh and wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute um the cabal crystal runner she's rotating out correct I think that she is rotating out I think so um discover a secret put into the battlefield ok and I feel something this is like literally top tier I mean it gets a Kibler Orgazmo face of approval I do think it gets at the very least that kripparrian pretty good our King Keith Smith is this is nice this is this is a nice little card because hydrologist which was a top ranker card for all sorts of paladins this cost two more than the hydrologist and the secret gets placed onto the battlefield so the hydrologist really you have to play the hydrologist and then play the secrets that's three total mana in order to have a 2/2 with a secret up this is for total man who'd have a 2/2 with a better secret up so I think that this is I think this is solid this is a salt little car Archmage Archmage arugula don't don't tell me that it's arugula no it's arugula whenever you draw a minion out a copy of it to your hand that's that's the spot oh it found my spot oh my god oh I'm sorry sorry my face is getting a little flushed Archmage arugula oh my god who knew that eating healthy could taste so good Archmage arugula this car is very good this is very very very very good it's even better with hearthstone deck tracker up and running this is good I mean obviously it combines excellently with book of specters this combines excellently with any deck that really runs almost any minions at all and if you drop a minion at a copy of it to your hand it's tough to get Archmage arugula to stick I think that basically if you have a rather yeah there you go that's that's my good little princess there she is she's sitting on my lap now she's my little lap cap this is an insane value card let's think for a moment because why is this card going to be good has to stick to the board it's a tutu so one of the ways to deal with that is to play it super late where you can play it with eight more mana remaining place several card draws and then be able to proc that multiple times you can always play it on turn two and cross your fingers and hope to not die oh we're doing chin rubs right now I'd sb I'm having a lot of fun are you doing I'm really happy upon my little buddies I love these cats all right no more sincerity we have to get back into character Archmage arugula yeah no I don't actually think our major arugula is it's extremely powerful I think with only this alright I'm gonna make my bold claim of the entire set this card is garbage this card is literally dumpster Ville this is one of the most deceptive deceitful things ever this is this is like a get-rich-quick scheme you look at it and you're like but then oh just have so many famine then I could get two red roses in wild I think this card is terrible this card is terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible this is not a good card this is this is so bad here's the reason why here's the reason why because to mana to be able to have a powerful effect where we actually get creatures out oh my god the value right because I looked at this and I was imagining multiple legendary minions in my hand multiple small copies blah blah but think about it think about it where is this going to be the back best where is Archmage arugula going to be the best in a deck that has a high guarantee of minions being drawn one two Archmage arugula sticks to the board right and three probably want some other card draw methods to be able to actually practice right so these are three pretty strong constraints on there three pretty strong constraints and so if I'm running some sort of control deck as mage where I might want to clone some Legendary's I'm gonna have a lot of spells the probability of me being able to proc Archmage arugula it's going to be I'm gonna have the spells to draw the cards but I'm probably not gonna have the minions in the deck that will be able to go there and then if we're late in the control mage match up its gonna get blowed up in an agro mage that has lots and lots of creatures the probability of us having the card that lets us draw is low I really genuinely think this is going to have exactly one high value circumstance which is like turn four play arugula and play the book of specters I think that's it I think that's it it's just gonna return for book of specters or turn five Archmage arugula and card draw I really think that that's it this is not a flexible card this will not show up in a lot of decks it will be anti Center excuse me synergistic if there is a mostly creatures mage deck that runs just arcane intellect and just booked a spectres yeah maybe you can get a really potent elemental mage but I think arugula is the worst card we've seen thus far and will not show up in any successful decks 0 out of 10 0 out of 5 0 out of 1 4 thumbs-up thumbs-down it gets a nope Toki time tinker battle cry at a random legendary minion from your pass to your hand oh top ranker top rank [Music] oh it's the top ranker topped up rank a card anytime you can get clones of extra legendary minions you can have pretty insane obnoxiousness oh oh my god oh my god never mind never mind never mind never mind never mind never mind never mind this card is just this is a clown fiesta i when I first read this card what I thought that this meant was that a previous legendary card that you played in the game you get to add it to your hand that's not what this means from the past this means legendary cards that are in wild so you you you could get patches without charge this card is awesome but not good this is not a consistent card I mean if you if you ripped a Ragnaros that could be kind of neat as a card that just gives you another card you know it's it's yeah this is certainly the best of the not good cards because this is fun as helmet you can sometimes pull some ridiculousness on that I'm gonna absolutely run some Toki time tinker index rebuked best card in the entire expansion period period I'm not even in character right now this is the best card in the entire expansion period this is ridiculous arugula Plus Toki double max not notice the problem is that this is one of you draw a minion draw is not add to hand this this card is the best this cart is so sickeningly good its Lofa its loaf of again man it's missing the 5/5 body but it's - mm-hmm this card is ridiculous this is ridiculous yeah you want me to try to have accurate predictions on this stream people or all these predictions man off this is not a coward stream what do you think I'm gonna be neutral about all these cards we're not even on to neutral minions yet of course I'm gonna go ham on the Paladin rebuke card enemy spells cost five more next turn five more you know what you know what listen community-made content is some of the best content anywhere on the Internet better than studios and production companies just community made content so for this is for the upcoming community video that I know will be made you have my explicit permission to take video clips from this card review and construct a boy day 9 was wrong the video clip serious or you have my full permission to take clips from this card review to show how right I was and that'll feel really nice you know what you could do both that would actually be the most meta thing of all for you to do you have my explicit permission to take clips from this card review to make a video that highlights how I am essentially random when it comes to card predictions and that is why people shouldn't take these card predictions so damn seriously this is the best card in the entire set rebuked oh it's cheaper loatheb it doesn't have a 5/5 body though I'm a sea monster that came out of the ocean to complain on the Internet yeah rebuke is an amazing card yeah octave poit listen to me okay rebuked here's why it's good it's to mana so all of a sudden you can be an aggro deck Blanc run down the rebuke and he's almost dead on the next turn oh yeah there it is yeah darhk's endorses Dana was right by think master slowly at least that's right that's right never forget sound the bells ooh this card is the most annoying card in the deck because every time it's cast it goes dong dong dong you give five dongs in a turn oh yeah you can also have two of these in a deck and it's common sound the bells um I think this is the best designed buff card this ever been printed I can imagine some designers translation she's like looking through all the past like buff cards that have existed and it's like okay we can't have another spike rich Steve that's hurt too many people how do we have a better card I just think this is really nice is a really nice card I think this is this is an interesting one oh my god we even have toki monster in the chat ok monster the excellent artists who don't know this this is Toki not the art I'm saying the character in here that's you that's you Toki look at Toki time finger there you are look at you also I owe you I owe your reply Toki aiyah I was I was travelling yesterday and so I didn't get a chance to answer you back my bad sound the bells echo is adjacent this is a solid little card I actually think that there is going to be some type of control ish palliate pallidum that runs lanessa strong's Martin Bardo and a handful of the buff spells and I think that the buffs are getting much smoother something like Blessing of Kings is a very blunt thing get + 4 + 4 4 4 but you know it's it doesn't have the flexibility and there's just increasingly flexible buff cards in there so I think sound the bells is gonna be very strong dong ghostly charger divine shield rush 3 4 4 5 [Music] I really I uh so let me let me describe why I said so many ARMs the ghostly charger has divine shield which you know is mechanic rush is the new mechanic which means it can attack the turn it's played except it can't attack enemy heroes so the ghostly charger for instance if you have a like a zoo lock building up a board you play the ghostly charger you run in and just trade and kill something cuz as divine shield so it guarantees that it lives through the first attack and then it is a 3/4 so we can we can view this as a three for vanilla minion that says battle cry deal three damage I think that because there's a lot of the hand buff effects that have left with the rotation for the year of the Raven I think that this is completely mediocre I think is completely mediocre I think it will be very nice in arena I mean the health of Stormwind night the two five four Manawa charged has playing arena and has some really nice stuff this is this is just a nice paladin arena card in that vein but yeah I just you know if this were if this were for mana all paladin's would start with twenty eight cards and - ghostly chargers pre placed in paragon of light well this mean has three or more attack it has taught and lifesteal interesting interesting interesting interesting paragon of light I want to like this card I want to like this card the reason I want to light this card is that it has an extraordinarily strong control synergy this is an amazing card when it triggers against Agra I mean it's it's it's done I I'm I'm absolutely gonna give this a kripparian pretty good I'm gonna give us a preparing pretty good let's be honest it's a 2 5 4 3 that's a nice stat line that's a nice stat line if you're against an aggro deck and then if you increase it a little bit I'm still it's still nice very obviously begging for a buff begging for a buff and I think that there is going to be a buff focused control ish paladin or a buff focused mid-range ish paladin and this is going to be a staple of that yeah I mean like obvious things like if you can get it Prince Kellis F deck going your paragon delights are ridiculous you know yeah yeah I think it's actually gonna be pretty nice I think there's one thing okay this is a break character for a moment um for any of you who have not been part of a card game that has a set rotating out there is a thing that sort of happens psychologically alongside what is happening objectively in a meta which is that in any card game the more cards that are available the more powerful the combinations can be because there's literally more room to explore so you know in hearthstone we have our card sets and there's an expansion and there's an expansion and then there's this expansion that we're on right now and this is the most amount of cards we're ever gonna see and then boom the next year starts and a huge chunk of cards are lopped off and so naturally what winds up happening again objectively oh it's our this and objectively you wind up seeing these more powerful combos emerging but then psychologically it can throw off your baseline psychological you can throw off your baseline a little bit where you begin to just ask questions like well we'll Paragon of light ever be useful given how strong inner fire dragon priest is right now a lot of those dragons are leaving what about how strong the flood paladin is well you know the handful the flood cards are leaving I think rattling blade Stewart of dark Shire and stand against darkness are all going out and so for that reason any time cards are being rotated out I think it's important to just automatically lower your mental power level a little bit there's certainly more sophisticated heuristics for adjusting that such as really spending time looking but if you don't want to study the old cards that are leaving study the current meta and then study the new cards and do that just know you just back off a little bit just back off a little bit in your head about the power level of some of the decks that are gonna exist and for that reason to 5 stat line is not that impressive today but on Thursday when all the cards rotate out actually think to 5 stat line is going to be nice again all right back into character I have no clue if this card is good on to the next one bell ringers sentry battle cry and death rattle put a secret from your deck onto the battlefield excellent excellent excellent excellent good good good great so good so nice this is a nice card this is a good card I like this card this is a nice card this is a good card I think this is a good card this is a good car this is a nice card I think bell-ringers sentry is going to be a very strong curve out to an aggressive secret paladin opening this is just a good-ass card this is a good-ass card silver sword holy oh my god there comes a point in every gamers life when you break a rule you have for yourself and that rule is the following there are friends and family who you love who are great people but you don't talk to them about games because you sound like a child discussing pokemons with his mother you just don't bring up games because they don't even understand the first step you ever try to explain a card game to a family member that doesn't own a computer oh my god I sound insane they're like look 2 or 3 times I try to tell my mom hearthstone stories and I sound like a because I get one sentence in and I backed up and I'm like well okay wait so that there's this thing in car games called formats and then one of the deck archetypes and that like I'm trying to explain cue block to my mom can you try to imagine trying to explain cue block to your mother again this is kind of like trying to explain the Internet to my grandma Oh a lectricity flows through the air and becomes information like no cue block to the mom no hell no but this sword this lets me break the rule after your hero attacks give your minions plus one plus one this is so sick I want to sit down with the barista at the coffee shop I go to and go okay so palliative normally has lots of swarming minions and that's cool except one ones it's not a very powerful stat line you can't jump block like you could in other card games no but then you have silver sword has for durability so you're getting a lot of extra value and given how much I like making tokens by the way a token is a creature generated from something outside of being a card itself like a death rattle effect death rattle by the way is when a card death this card is great I love this card this is great this card is great this card is great it's great this is a solid one of four durability means it's not gonna be a good idea to run to because it's expensive and when you play it out it's just alive for a long time so you don't to flood to weapons I think this card is amazing this is an amazing card I think this card is amazing baby but now this is so good oh my god this is so good at some point I am gonna want to go look at the odd and even cost Legendary's so I can reflect on that Oh silver swords silver silver sword yeah oh my god if you have anything that has multiple minions I loved I loved this card I think this is so good I think it's so good this is a sick card and everyone's saying this cars trash dude you're wrong you're wrong silver sword you have my permission to make a clip my permission to make a clip showing people trying to silver sword nonsense and and not working you're my permission to do that I'm gonna make a really cool silver sword deck alright here we go alright hidden wisdom after your opponent plays three cards in a turn draw two cards not great not good again it's it's fine it's you know it's it's fine it's okay I think that's relatively inconsistent that your opponent will play three cards in a turn if you're against an aggro deck very often they'll be playing two cards in a turn one or two cards in a turn if you're going to control deck there will be turns in which they play three cards it's slightly unpredictable I think that perhaps that this would be good is a one of in a deck that allows for many cards to get drawn because it's gonna proc eventually yeah cathedral gargoyle if you're holding a Dragon King taunt and divine shield I don't know man I don't know I've had bad experiences been emotionally scarred by trying to run dragon paladin's I mean honestly the Dragon paladin how many times have I tried to get all those dragons to work together to form a winning plan Cathedral gargoyle synergizes with that and just due to the stat line and the effects this is this is hey boys shields up heads down forming a wall taunt divine shield we're the cathedral gargoyle and we look mostly like a bed this does not look this does not look like a gargoyle this is a bird heat what a faker this is good this is cathedral bird ah-ah-ah cathedral bird oh I swear to god I'm a gargoyle look at my credentials that's fine this card's fine it's a fine little card the glass and I've never seen this divine shield when every restore health gain divine shield oh this card is awesome this card is amazing and the art looks so much like the terrible stuff I'd make an MS paint as a child oh my god truesilver champion I've been wondering where you've been all these years oh no this this guy rallying blade I thought that he was having a good run but I knew his career was gonna tank eventually oh yeah I completely agree hey have you met my friend the glass Smith the glass Knight oh yes that's it whenever you restore health gain divine shield guess what guess what the truesilver champion he is ready the glass knight is ready this is excellent I love this card I have this card now what deck would is gonna be good at math considering I was gonna help us win the game though oh this card is amazing the glass Smith Neef is a German for knife it's a great sound a word [Music] dude whatever this car a plus eight plus ten is all around Prince Liam transform all one cost cards in your deck into legendary minions I think that this card has I think it's cards good is a good the card is good card it's great because there's almost certainly going to be some attempts at doing aggro archetypes with paladin at some point they already have some very nice aggressive tools and Prince Liam is a great way to just suddenly increase the value of all your remaining cards a huge problem that you wind up encountering if you're an aggressive deck is that you can run out of steam you've played all the cards you have basically one or no cards left in your hand and you know that whatever your drawings gonna be generally one two or three mana because that's like two-thirds of the deck one two and three mana yuck you play this and then all of a sudden a big chunk of your deck becomes more expensive cards it's a bit of an orangey fiesta card but I've the best rng of anyone the hearthstone community um yeah I mean it's specially being like Prince Liam and divine favorite drawn to all that stuff if not German for knife am I wrong it's okay you'll call me on it's great divine hammer story six health all friendly characters oh man dude let me tell you someone someone on the hearthstone team was like wait a minute I feel like priests should heal and everyone went you know I I guess that does make sense right we have we have to divine him I'm actually gonna scroll forward a little bit we have the squash laying a different methodology of health and healing quartz elemental again deals with being healed back up can't attack well damaged I'm just gonna keep scrolling down because yeah we're friendly mean healed some of the well let's see here alright yeah no I mean there's just there's just a lot of healing stuff's missing I think in the priests of stuff typically typically healing on your own minions is not something to get fist-pump e about cards die real fast and priests they die real fast I'm fine with this no it's bad I think divine called a card not good in a while and I think that we're just trying to hit a quota at this point we're not trying to really predict cards or make an evaluation of a hearthstone we just we got we got a call a card bad like once out of every 5 cards this is this is a bad car I think the biggest benefit that you can get out of divine hint is it's an excellent way to build aa can die divine him and clear your entire board squash lling sick squash lang is it squash ling is an inn card this guy's tight look at him look at the swagger on this pumpkin man he just popped right up out of the ground with his roots he's walking around town having a good time bar hopping yes yes yes yes yes awesome squash lling EKKO battle cry restored to health I'm against a very scary quite contrary board flooding man okay I can go squash Lee squashing squash link squashing squash and heal 10 have five two ones nice but what's really cool about squash line keep in mind it's really cool about squash line is that you can combine it with Ock and I soul priest to build a board and burn him to death I heard of the weekend of looking your lips can be very sexy not so wet good thing I have this paper towel roll still here let's go ahead and clean this up mmm that was gross for me too sorry about that alright squash sling restore two health and once again for everyone who says what is echo echo is you can play this card multiple times in one turn multiple times in one turn please everybody I'm sorry I'm sorry that's the at the end of it the last the last time I'll ever do I promise quartz elemental I think this card is great I think this card is great because a five mana five eight is a stupid amount of stats that is so many stats um I think in odd priests quartz elemental is going to be ridiculous I think that this is a top tier card because the odd from you don't know what I'm talking about with odd and even one of the archetypes is that there's legendary cards that say at the start of your game if your deck has only odd cost cards do X or if your deck only has even cost cards do X and so sorry a little sniffily on my nose and so the one of the big big sort of meta shapers is a legendary card that says if you only have odd mana cards you upgrade your hero power that means that priests will begin the game they will begin the game with four healing hero power it's so stupid just that + quartz elemental is ridiculous because if the quartz elemental has taken any damage at all that is less than 4 like if you deal four damage to this it's a 5-4 still a little bit of pain in the ass to kill but you just heal the quartz elemental back up to full and then you have a five eight again this is this is I think it's sufficiently ridiculous on its own with that hero power that I'm willing to call this an absolute top tier car holy water deal for damage to a minion if that kills it at a copy of it to your hand no no I'm not interested in your your your deceitful attempts to convince me that you're made of value no holy water no look at it look it even has the hands in the shape of going hum dee dum didn't do anything illegal look at these hands right here of the little holy water it's like not totally innocent holy water over here no you're not look at this five mana deal for damage and then add a copy of it to your hand do you like decks that are the slowest things possible then you'd love holy water I mean I guess what you could do is have two cards the first that deals damage to a legendary and then this holy water that then deals damage that then kills it so that then you get it is what I guess you can do the amount of conditions that you need to keep track of to set this puppy up is three which is two more than any amount of conditions an American can process and so I think that holy water is not good and I think that if it winds up in a deck that's because I'm trying to do a Shadow Priests again and for that I'm not sorry I think this is a bottom rancor coffin crash or death rattle some of the death rattle minion from your hand this car is great it was a good card this is a good card this card right here this one right here this card here yeah it's a good card this one here it's a good card oh yeah this card's good [Music] yeah the coffin crasher it's gonna feel real nice to put into a deck that has cards priests decks often have those this is really nice this is good death rattle some to death rattle minion from your hand caught and crasher it should just be called coffin crasher kama obsidian statue death rattle summon the obsidian statue that's definitely in your hand um this is just a very nice curved out effect for priests I got to be honest obsidian statue I thought was the sickest car that police had in the past or in the set that it was in but the problem with obsidian statue is that 9 mana sucks 9 mana is I almost think all eight mana legendaries have a huge leg up on 9 mana legendaries just do - how many valuable things you can do with 2 mana and so coffin crasher by the way this art is very funny I think that the coffin crasher giving you the opportunity to cheat out the obsidian statue gives it extraordinarily strong value so I I'm gonna just give this a big ol thumbs up this is so funny alright night scale matriarch whenever a friendly minion is healed some two three three wealth I this card is first of all the biggest bomb in arena this card this is this shouldn't be allowed in arena okay this card is oh my god this is so sick in arena because for nine yeah you're not ever gonna clear for nine in arena with minions vomit vomit vomit vomit night scale matriarch you Papa dude you heal this dude you Papa dude you heal this dude this is incredible like Hager is just a chump that's a 4/4 that makes two twos uh nice gala matriarch is like severely overpowered in arena under all circumstances I mean the seven man at 49 is just is just mind-boggling I think that in constructed I mean I skill my truck is uh it's real it's really good priests card it's gonna go super good and the odd priest mm-hmm yeah look at that's odd Matt seven mana seven money does whenever friendly minion is healed some two three three well ah oh my god chefs kiss good I think that skill matriarch might actually be excellent in the odd priests like an odd dragon priest living nightmare choose a friendly minion some of the copy of it with one health remaining swipe left no thanks vivid nightmare you might have a great personality but honestly everything I'm seeing in the text here really makes me upset vivid nightmare swipe left on this one choose our friendly meeting some of the copy of it with one health remaining I mean mmm I mean mmm I mean like it's slow first I need a sufficiently intimidating minion and then I need to play vivid nightmare and then I can heal it I mean it's really the reason I'm recoiling at vivid nightmares that I have to have the scary card out and then I can vivid vivid nightmare it is not not that great I mean the one benefit of this is that it's not setting the health to one it has one health remaining so you can heal it something of which I was not confused by I still think this is a complete swipe left card yeah cuz I mean like if you have an obsidian statue down and he can't clear it and then you vivid nightmare it and he'll the vivid nightmare one yeah I don't know there's probably a stupid combo that's gonna be good with this card but doesn't make it a good card it's bad card bad card glitter moth battle cry if your deck has only odd cost cards double the health of your outer minions bad bad 0 out of 10 you're out of a hundred actually didn't even show up to the final dead but didn't have a number 2 pencil and asked if anyone could lend him one and no one could so the glitter off was like well I guess that's not my responsibility to take this test went to zero there it is there it is I knows it's so tickling my katsudon just shedding like crazy I'm not even like crazy if your deck has only odd cost cards double the health of your other minions oh yeah I'm an odd only beat down deck bad not good get out of here camellias oh yes oh my god it's the SCB of hearthstone Never Dies finds out everything camellia see to turn this isn't your hand transformed into a carved your opponent is holding it's the Scout it's the Scout it will go to your hand and find out what you're doing camellias oh my god yes camellias camellias is just so stupidly good because you're just gonna be able to find out exactly what your opponent has at all points in time yes it's right army of Juan says will butter mad biscuit you know a lady in white caste enter fire on every minion in your deck [Music] um hey I'm on the fence on this one because the inner fire priest Dex right now are just bonkers alright they blow you up real fast what if you could play the inner fire thing whoa I think I think it feels doper than it is I think that the biggest benefit to lady in white is if you just have a lot of already existing strong cards like USERRA or obsidian statue lady in white makes them makes them good right helps them out a little bit but obviously lady in white does not have the biggest benefit of the inner fire decks which is the ability to cast divine spirit first to double the health so this this I think is I'd almost view it as a marginal value card if you have a priest death that has a control structure to it and a couple of cards you might just go Oh actually you know what I think that I have enough space for one extra card which can put the lady in white in because you know it'll have some synergy with you know big things like you Sarah obsidian statue it I also learned that this does not do anything to your hand so if you have a big hand of cards and you play a lady in white it's only the cards that are in the deck and for any of you who did not think about this this has anti synergy with Twilight Drake because Twilight Drake is a 4-1 with a battle cry so it becomes a 1:1 similarly the injured Blademaster is a 4/7 with battle cry deal for damage to yourself so it becomes a 7-7 with battle cry deal for damage to yourself cheap shot echo deal two damage to a minion great great great great great great great great great great great record is a card gray card great great card great card great this is so good this is value value USA I mean this is this is spectacular spectacular little card oh my God look at these are all the people who are like trying to pre-order give me my cards man yeah I deal to damage a minion oh oh echo echo echo echo first copses bad bad bad bad bad bad bad card I think what you mean is good good good good good could be good good good good good good good good card because I think that you actually didn't spell any of the words in your sentence correctly nor did you choose them correctly because you're wrong Bruce calm oh yeah this is I think this is it man say tional card this is excellent um I gotta be honest I sometimes struggle with si7 agents in rogue decks there's some obnoxious to remove things but this doesn't have to deal with because it's not about damaged or undamaged or setting up with combos you just blast it off blink Fox at a random card to your hand you know what I reject all these cards I'm in firm rejection of every single one of these add a random card to your hand things blink Fox it's not okay this was printed it's not okay it's not okay that this was printed it's okay it's actually hurtful it's hurtful to people who who play games to have fun cutthroat Buccaneer combo give your weapon +1 attack oh it's a combo it's not battle cry okay mmm I mean Kings Bane players are happy could be good could be good could be good I just I'm not I'm not over the moon about this like what you gonna do have a 1/2 and make it like a 2/2 and be like or I think it's just not it's just not great but I imagine a king's Bane robe is gonna convince themselves gosh I really lost out I like Naga Corsair is rotated out so yeah it's fine it's fine it's fine car doesn't do anything for me pickpocket echo add a random class to Euro class I'm not I'm not okay with this I'm not okay with all these random cards I mean they were basically like you know what we think that mage has had fun having total happen let's let rogue kept total happen I think that this the thing that I'm really concerned about with pickpocket is that like this could actually be hugely game-changing like burgle no-one really went super ham on burgles hallucination pretty nice pretty nice elucidation shock ooh the collector had some show ups so I like what I initially look at this I think this card sucks I think intuitively I feel like this is bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad but on turn 10 you can draw five cards for 10 mana it's an expensive draw but you know whatever but the problem that I have is I'm thinking about something like caballes tome 5 mana at three random age spells to your hand deck cards actually turned out to be really nice and completely random and I don't want pickpocket to be that therefore shame shame shame no no no miss truth whenever you play an echocardiogram is as a slightly sturdier questing adventurer which has had a long history of showing up at various times in you know miracle rogue decks so I think that the mist rape might have some possibility especially given that I am just going to be whoo oh we went far I'm absolutely gonna be running cheap shots index I think this is great uses great-great-great-great-great um cursed castaway rush draw combo card from your deck this card I feel like wants me to love it I feel like this card is saying oh look at the value I have within me but I don't know here's how I interpret this card six mana deal 5 damage draw card okay what are things that deal 5 damage well we have silent strike which is 3 mana and it's conditional there's actually not terribly many things that deal 5 damage outside of you know like our can die Reaper things like that so 6 mana to deal the 5 damage we might say okay like 3 damage owes me 3 mana to deal the 5 damage 3 mana to deal to 5 damage maybe we might call 5 damage like a four-issue mana effect Starfall can deal 5 damage but it also has the ability to yield 2 damage to everything lava burst has overload and they deals 5 damage at 3 so I feel like I would value dealing 5 damage at around 4 I think it's fair to say and then draw a combo card from your deck I'm spending 2 mana to do some fixing to draw actly what we want and if my only combo cards are like minstrels has some value I think that this card is as equally exciting as kidnapper which as you'll recall was not that exciting right so you know what cursed cast away you can cast away yourself to last pick an arena where someone's like I mean I guess I'll put this one in there spectral Cutlass life - whenever you play a car from another class game plus one durability welcome to DIY Kings boom it begins with lifesteal nice all Kings main players want that life steel on that their kings bane but whenever you play a card from another class game plus one durability what a jerk card this is just a jerk burgling is not meant for robes robes do no such burgling they're thieves but they're not burglars ok no one would ever want to be accused of being he's one of the world's most famous burglars no I just the burglar bility that rogues have right now really just I just this card actually seems pretty good I hate to say I hate to say it I mean if you deadly poisons start playing other cards like one deadly poison it's a four to arcanite are summe truesilver champion sick sick card additional durability coming out all the time six-six-six 666 this is just jerky man done with this wanted you'll three damage to a minion if that kills it at a coin to your hand very flavorful so flavorful that I'm gonna get some coffee everyone stay right there here's my pants I sheriff we're getting some coffee honey [Music] I'm back everything I've said thus far has been completely correct I just need a little bit more caffeine because let's be honest I really like to drink a lot of coffee I got to make sure my body gets its fix wanna deal three damage to a minion if that kills it at a coin to your hand bad bad wait wait okay okay this card this card definitely sucks however think of how many times you've wanted to do some really stupid 12 mana combos but you can't do it because you can't get man out of fear there but wanted lets you wanted lets you okay dude oh my gosh it's time to open up the druid card bank and look at everything and ask ourselves what is the 12-man of combo wanted lets us set that stuff up and you might be going yeah but when else ever has there been a 12-man of combo that has worked first of all real interesting sentence structure to think about mind blasts priest oh yeah oh yeah oh wait this is this is rogue I'm gonna dude I'm a dude you know what I might I might I might have seen the brown and went druids are brown and then just went from there wow wow yeah yeah okay you know yeah all that I had a really interesting emotional arc recently it was it was a big emotional arc yeah a lot a lot happened a lot happened it was a lot of the emotional arc that I felt when I was in the line at the movie theater to see the Matrix Reloaded which I found out was originally named The Matrix recycled when I came out I was like but I but I saw the first one in that I saw the trailer so it can't uh you know that I really the Ark of looking at wanted this is this is a rogue card this is a Road card there it is alright so this card is this is this is a card so the face collector echo battlecry at a random legendary meaning to your hand face collector is just a jerky card a lot of jerky Road cards turkey jerky jerks it's a good thing we've got the fowl erased riders by the way I'm enjoying a nice brew of cold brew coffee from Trader Joe's Tess screaming replay every card from another class you played this game tourists chosen randomly why is this throw why oh my god you know I actually kind of have a feeling that rogues power lies in a lot of the old cards getting rotated out because a lot of the staple rogue cards are classics your gadget sends your si 7s your back stabs your eviscerates your foul-mouthed all these kinds of cards right and I think that maybe with the rotation out rogue actually suddenly maybe was that like this power level and here's the power level the current decks and once all the rest of the cars rotate it out maybe rogues actually doing pretty good there just like positive kills I'm because test Greymane she's like I didn't know what my identity should be so it's every other class car that you played you play it a game I mean I'm gonna run an entirely Burghley deck I'm gonna run that entirely but I want you to know the deep sense of shame I'll feel while doing so alright zap are we done are we good I think we're good I think we review the share of the rogue card let me tell you something let me tell you something wanted this is so good and druid mmm that's so good and druid once again you have permission to make clips about this card review because I'm really nailing this this is one of the best performances of my life zap due to damage to a minion overload one excellent card this card is so good this card is great deal to damage to a minion no conditions like it has to be undamaged overload one I think is a very comfortable effect and honestly the amethyst spell stone decks are very effective I really think that I've spent a ton of time exploring the emphasis bell stone the sapphire spell stone for shaman and zap is an excellent activator for the spell stone I think it has a huge synergy with the unbound elemental so I think that there's some options this is I think maybe my my favorite overload card that's ever been printed because I look at this and it's just sensible and muted in its impact this is just really cool like turn 3 play the unbanned elemental blow out the dude so good is a fantastic car the best shaman card that we've seen yet I drew I true duly enjoy say saying things that are down I true duly do which is apprentice it's a no one talked on a battle cry at a random Shan spell to your hand I think it's actually fine I think it's more fine than I want to give it credit for the fact that it's a taunt is a remarkably consistent useful thing for a control shaman so actually this is this is way better than I would ever want to give it credit for especially because of some of the cards that we'll see later so I think that which is apprentice is I think it's fine I think it's fine like it's a fine card I think it will wind up in plenty of control - ghost light angular is an awesome card I think this card is is it oh is this a bad card his cards awesome okay let me run you through it first of all procs the merlok quest oh I don't know I mean have to be a Murloc shaman anymore I literally just play the merlok quest control and then I'll eventually get my mega mega mega man and then I'll have you know a burst of value out of there this helps me think that perhaps there's a way to actually activate that as just running to go slide anglers and the one quest that's kind of interesting I also think that it's a nice value card for propping hagath up because Agatha says anytime you play creature put a spell in your hand I think that it has it just filling the board up with two 2's with one card I think is just really nice I think it's just really really really nice this this took me a while to look through I think the merlok is the most significant thing that I initially overlooked that gives it a lot more possibility I think I think that this this card is going to be just really powerful I think it's going to be really powerful because um there's a few things that have historically been true in hearthstone first of all things that give value now vastly undervalued initially so for instance the bone mayor it's a body and it gives buff to another body so you get a bunch of stats right now I mean yeah it has a conditional but as long as conditions are met now it becomes strong or mysterious challenger yeah it has a lot of conditions but if you play it now it gets strong now because you get the christmas-tree of stuff and the things that have historically been overvalued are the things that do something in a deferred fashion so for instance what are things that have just gotten me really really excited there's just like some control cards that got me really excited but you know another thing it's I just think generally undervalued is very very flexible cards very very flexible cards so this is has just so many flexible things though Tirion no Tyrians another great example of a car that just as huge impact now taunt divine shield huge body and that immediately gives you the weapon when it dies it's great things that need a long time out on the board in order to do things are pretty pretty sick or pretty overvalued generally but this I think has so much flexibility being a Murloc iTunes cards nice he's a really really nice card he'll even if you're against aggro you can run out to two 2's on turn four which is a good way to do some slowing down and you're only spending one card blazing invocation discovered battle-cries million dude I don't even know I don't know what this card is about I have no clue all the discover a blank thing suck consistently discover a taut minion discover an overload minion now discover a battlecry minion it's not great it's not a knight this is this is this is a no tear this does not even make it to the tier list doesn't we're we're rejecting blazing invocation vehemently earth in might do a minion plus two plus two if it's an elemental at a random elemental to your hand I sense an archetype being foisted upon me I think this card is I think this card is very good this card is very good because I think Arthur might is a very very good card because the aggro druid that gives plus two plus two to a beast and then lets you draw a card that's a very scary solid card in aggro druid and I think that the power level is gonna be reset a little bit so I think that earth and might giving you plus two plus two for two is pretty good and then like if I'm doing an elemental aggro deck at a random elemental to your hand I think this can could be very very very good this could be very very very good I have confidence in this card mer spark eel if your deck has only even cost minions deal two damage dude come on man I don't I don't get excited by the even cost things odd cost mega hero power mwah if you deck has only even cost cards deal two damage mer spark eel gets a deferred rating seriously it has to come back again because I don't know what to do with this card two three four two with a battlecry deal two damage is good what the hell else you can do with I'm even cost shaman okay let's be honest this card would be great in an even cost shaman deck if there's some other amazing even effect in shaman that you're trying to enable mer spark eel is not a card you build a deck around no no very bad mer spark eel very bad no I'm gonna come back and reevaluate this talk bout cry destroy your totems gain plus two plus two for each destroyed mitts for okay so if I have one totem here's the thing this card when I first look at it unlock this sucks but then I look at it more and I'm like this is great because um if you have one totem it's a four or five with taunt and if you have two totems it's a six seven with taunt so if you're able to summon a sufficient amount of totems totem cruncher can be very intimidating it's to conditional it's not good it's gonna get set in the file for a later time we're gonna call it we're gonna call it we call it a zero out of 100 bog shape whenever you cast a spell draw a minion from your deck okay let's ask the question why would this ever be good it's that I play this and because my deck has only large minions that I really want on the field I cast some spells in order to draw those seven mana for eight on the stats not good on the effect I probably want to cast a spell on the turn that it's played um it seems really really slow it just seems slow right because I play this then I blow up a guy with a spell and then I draw a bigger guy and then I play that and cast another spell and draw a bigger guy I mean I know how I can prop this bog shaper and zap boom there it is but like but then but then what this is I think the interesting aspect about this is that this is an elemental and for that reason if you are imagining a mid-range elemental deck elemental decks traditionally have interesting forms of card draw so if you kind of had a mid-range type of elemental deck that ran a few early board controller things they started to play some dudes down blog shaper is a nice way to just continue to draw elementals I can't imagine more than a 1 of being necessary here yeah nope nope nah don't like it don't like it bad Haga through the witch after you play minion at a random shot and spell to your hand honestly battlecry deal three damage to all minions is very very good I think this is a very nice battlecry effect there's a theoretically nice value effect out of the witch because you can just sort of exhaust I think I'm gonna give hagath a very strong rating I think that I'm gonna give this a firm B I think I'm gonna give it a firm B firmly because I don't like random effects but you'll recall that when I ran the frost lifting Jaina fatigued mage deck the ability to draw extra cards out of caballes tomes allows me to get value without drawing cards from my deck so I went in the fatigue battle and I'm still producing a lot of cards this obviously has a huge synergy with the two to echo merlok we were looking at earlier therefore I think that we can get a lot of card value out of this and also when we when we it's not her dog our opponent see when I first read this card it says repeat all battle cries from cards you played this game I forgot that some cards that are not creatures have battle cries such as hagath of the witch Agatha has a battle cry but it's not a creature also in my head I sort of programmed then like oh if you have a certain height chain-gang how long can this go on for whatever reason my head registered this as oh okay I'll repeat the other battle Christ when I play the shutter walk it will produce an additional saronite chain-gang guy right I was like a five Cyrano chain gangs no no shudder walk the battle cry is summon a copy of this minion so if you play several saronite chain gangs when you play shutter walk you'll get several shutter walks how does this work with yog well it just does all the battle cries that happen and it also does yogs battle cry so that's you can get some real ridiculous effects on this but I think the big benefit of this is if you run to serenade chain gangs when you play this you'll at the very least get three six sixes I think this is I actually really think that this is a sensational card I think it's a sensational card early this is a sensational sensational sensational sensational card I think there's a number of combos that shudder walk enable that are ridiculous such as you get tunas offs right you play if you have a battlecry light deck you play a lot of death rattle minions yuna's off the death rattle minions then you play shutter walk and it's just another it is off I actually shut her walk is an exceptional card I think this is one of the big upcoming boosters for shamans that people are gonna be like which would em stealth give a diamond plus one health hmm which would am stealth Oh its stealth death rattle give a random friendly minion plus two health ms-office rotating out oh that's true all the old gods are rotating out soon you'll have that combo in wild but I think more importantly if you just have like in a really epic battle cry you can just have one really epic battle cry creature and then snatcher doc what is the name of this card again a flash boggle shudder walk I don't know how this doesn't stick I have tried to relearn this like eight times now whatever so warlock is the is the class for which I have the least memory of what the impactful rotations out will be and I say this because you know there's big bursty removal or big bursty things are getting removed like James all the Jade's are gone tons of the dragons are rotating out all of the gods are rotating out and all there are supporting cards like C'thun II dudes but with warlock their current archetype the cue block almost all the cards associated with cue blockers sticking so I'm unsure about what is leaving warlock I mean oq block is going out I think the only car ah masaf is rotating out so that's one thing that they're gonna lose the cubes are new doom guards void lines are new spell stone mistress a mixture is rotating out I think it's those three I think it's those three is it just those three see some people now type of mistress in chat but who knows we know Q block is there to stay but I'm curious about some of these uu archetypes because there's this really interesting thing that came from you know you may have heard me talk about this a lot when I was doing a lot of StarCraft commentary and dailies but there's often what I would call invisible walls which is that for instance in early Game Servers Protoss in brood war you really don't see a lot of hydraulics they're powerful mid gang units but you just don't see them in the early game and it's a very reasonable question like what would you do if a zerg did build say three hatch Hydra and attack you very very quickly and things like that and the answer is that just typically you just don't really you just you don't really do that cuz it's just weak for just a lot of small reasons and and so you know it's not it's just not strong enough right that's it's not like a super clean clear answer like oh he builds hydras you already have anti hydras so it's not gonna work it's it's a little subtle and so when I think about zu decks I sort of think about how that subtlety winds up playing out where if I have a lot of cards that can get just enough advantage like the knife juggler being a three-two instead of a 2/2 or the imp gang boss being able to just get a few extra one ones out this is enough to make a zu deck really strong or on the flip side if there is just enough removal and just in like a handful of consistent answers in two or three of the top meta decks boom zu is just not even played and therefore when I look at something like which would imp I'm like what what are the new problems that zoos gonna encounter my intuition says that this is not a great card this is not a great card at all a 1/1 for one that lets you choose a target to give +2 health therefore you get an unpredictable one three four one with no other effect I look at this I think this sucks I really think that this is a card I don't know dust bat if your hero took damages turns some into one one bats holy number one tier amazing number one wow that's amazing wow that is holy cow oh my god imp gang boss looks like we found all your good qualities and then some Wow all cards aren't created equal my bad dust bat holy okay here's here's here's why this is an unbelievable card this is why this is an unbelief sweet mercy this is a good card on turn three if you get a to four out that is a stat line that is difficult to deal with on turn three for many of the classes for health it's it's gonna require quite a lot of effort from the opponent to be able to it's a battle cry you know I know that I know how to read but sometimes when I look at moments like this I wonder what I was looking at like I'm I'm confident that I can read I know I can this says battle cry if your hero took damages turns some into one one bats I thought it was a trigger was a trigger I really feel like it should have said raid if your hero took damages turned some into one one bats then it's gonna be amazing the raid keyword here would have been fantastic so this card is imp gang boss I just want to say I I was being impulsive and that was wrong and I miss you will you take me back what key word is raid it's a Magic the Gathering keyword that's if one of your here or one of your creatures attack this turn trigger the raid effect this card's okay it's okay I mean it's quite a lot of value like if you can imp of flaming imp what's this what's this name the three to deal three damage to yourself or one man out like if you played that and the dust bat on turn four yeah a lot of value this is yeah yeah flame imp flick I mean you can have like the dark Shire librarian I mean maybe this is actually better than I think it's not it's not a turn three play for sure though so we have the librarian we also have the vitae the vile homunculus the two for taunt the deals to yeah so there's actually more triggers in this and of course felt like the not the felguard the the five six four four that has battle cry deified damage it's pretty good I think that's that's pretty great uh you know what he's amazing he's so good whatever man-bat he's so cute ah yeah pit Lord that's the one that I like fiendish circle summon four one one imps unless there's an imp gobbler here that synergizes with this cart is this is like that whispering whisper temp that stand against darkness that we pooped on right at the outset of the show and I think fiendish circle I mean look is this a Jacuzzi you want to spend your evening in it's all green and gross and uh they're all happy to be in there I don't want to get in a jacuzzi with a bunch of happy looking gremlins yeah I think this is this is not good 401 1 amps is not doesn't seem doesn't seem great I mean like there was a period of time where there was the 0 mana spend all your mana Simon a 1/1 for each thing and that even started to phase out because it was not great I mean fiendish circle is like hey do you run to file because I run this card and I want you to just you know feel like you have an inflated ego dark possession deal 2 damage to a friendly character discover a demon um there's enough effects that proc this could this could be good this could be good it's could be good this couldn't get this could be good I actually think that this is one of the first good discover things because a lot of the demons are highly synergistic in warlock I guess is solid I think it's a solid deal 2 damage to a friendly character there's a lot of things that proc combine owes us so tickly man I got so much audacity here I mean there are a sufficient number of Orlock cards that proc on deal to damage that I think dart possession might be just a to of I mean you like you can hit yourself play the bat you can pop a there's some the other deal damage things the fact that it's discover a demon I think that the demons the synergies is was really nice yeah one have to discover and good it is it is a little expensive [Music] amethyst Felsen that's what I was thinking that was the other thing that this could possibly proc but you probably wouldn't want to run that if you're doing something agro maybe mid-range it could be acceptable curse of weakness echo give all enemy minions vice to attack until your next turn interesting interesting interesting interesting interesting give all enemy minions - to attack until your next turn what do I even think about this how one of the things that's just this just shocking to me is it's give all enemy minions - to attack until your next turn so I can play this and then hit him in the face and then it's his turn and then he can't even attack my dudes and then it's my turn again and I can hit him again we can also do something like play the curse of weakness to reduce all the attack damage and play a doomsayer which would be more of a control issue but I don't think we need to do that yeah yes he says give all enemy means - attack until your next turn that's that's really strong I think that this is a nice way to tempo out in an aggressive warlock deck right you're building the board he starts to play some some things if it's taunts if it's lots of small dudes that could trade well with you you just play a bunch of curse of weaknesses I think that the one really interesting possible combo is you could play this three times for six mana to give everything - six attack and then play the void Ripper flip and blow everything up there's now all there's also a new card that's a two seven that's destroyed everything with two or less attacked and it's six I think or it's a two six four seven that has some synergy with that I really think that the big thing is the void Ripper which is the neutral 3/3 that swaps attack and health I think this is why this is a fascinating Carter actually genuinely think that this is going to make an appearance in both control and aggressive decks this is gonna be really really again this is not a coward's carb of you this will be a commonly used card in the future blood which at the start of your turn deal one damage to you here ooh what what there needs to be way more stuff that procs on damage to hero they need to be way way way more stuff I we've seen we've seen the paps but this is like the anti priest at at least are we serious with this oh of course she's holding an apple you know what else is not good the very first card we looked at the which would Apple she's having herself a witch wood apple it's poisoned her mind isn't that sad I almost scrolled back to the exact correct location um I think there needs to be way way way way way more I want to take damage to my face effect like this this could possibly be the best synergy card for future cards printed for present cards I'm thinking a big fat sopping wet nope rat catcher rush destroy a friendly minion and gain its attack and health rat you know almost all the warlock cards that have been gobble up a friend have been bad even the ravenous pterodax [Music] even the ravenous pterodax did not really have value in zoo I think that the the one circumstance in which I think a rat catcher could actually have huge value is in a queue block you Cuba thing then you've got your own cube to become a huge rush thing and then you bang into the face queue blocks already just like insanely good so currently my rat catcher in an aggressive context and I really don't think I really think there's that many aggressive values I mean just I've been so unimpressed with all the destroy a friend in order to become stronger I think I've just consistently been unimpressed with that I feel like this might be a nice one of in a cue block probably not a nice to of like replacing is off with ratcatcher that could be good one thing that I want to look at is how many there's this sort of tipping point that exists okay here's here's my theory and you know what this is not a theory I'm about to throw some facts down okay listen to me in hearthstone right now there's a whole lot of eggs that don't do anything until they get blowed up right you know like the The Devil's sore egg it's a 0 3 that when it dies it summons a 5/5 devil saw there's also a number of cards like the one mana 1/1 that gobbles one of your friends and becomes a 3/3 there's the ravenous pterodax the four-man of 4/4 that if you gobble a friend you get to adapt twice the danger of all of these types of combos is that there weren't enough targets and not enough activators to build a deck around it and for that reason if you're trying to run a gobble your friends to make yourself stronger but it's good to gobble your friends sort of deck it would be very inconsistent I tried to make this work a ton of times where I would just have a bunch of eggs that I couldn't pop and I draw the pterodax eat an egg and then lose the game the next turn or I'd have like a pterodax and the sanguine switch the bird whatever that with a sanguine reveler that's what a sanguine reveler has sanguine reveler and a pterodactyl wouldn't be able to target anything so I have to eat one of my own dudes that was good no jets it was so bad it was so bad so I think that maybe if you have rat catchers and sanguine revelers end a lot of eggs and maybe cubes you could actually have a kind of a mid-range or aggressive zoo lock swarm deck that could actually be very effective a death let's fight our battle cry for here took damages turn gain life steal ya know na na hey hey na dude no what are you gonna get me all excited about lifesteal oh yeah no deaf web spider huh not into this it's a beast whatever I mean I don't know I mean it's that's whatever you know there's cards that are dealing damage to my face in order to enable this to help me heal damage to my face and I'm not excited about anything damage effects so I mean actually maybe if I Pitt Lord and then I death web spider yeah doesn't that sound cool it doesn't cuz this is a battle cry so it seems tough seems tough glenda crows and minions in your hand have EKKO I want to know some very specific things about this card text because I read all of it and stops to think about it look at me becoming the epitome of learning Glenda Crow skin doesn't say battle cry minions in your hand gain echo this just says as an active effect minions in your hand have echo therefore Glenda needs to live Glinda Glenda Glenda Glenda so I think that Glinda what a mane Glenda doesn't feel good with my mouth to say if I Glenda and then way to turn there's spectacular outcomes that can occur but I don't know if Glinda is ever gonna be able to live what if we play here and they have 4 min remaining what cool things could we do I mean we could play a bunch of librarians and deal a damage to ourself we could play like infinite wisps that's pretty tight we get summoning portal to work with this you play the summoning portal it sticks you played the cheap Glinda and then just slam down a bunch of man I think Glinda is embarrassed to have been printed that's what I think look at Glinda she's just trying IED she's like no don't pick me in your deck I don't know man I'm gonna try to definitely get an infinite echo giants to work in warlock that's it that's gonna be a goal of mine Lord Godfrey oh look at his fashion sense oh my God look at this guy the trihard in a high school look at him he's got his hat in his pauldrons and he's got a really strong corset on to show off his figure and then it flares back out again so that way he's got that X Line physique but he has bad acne so he's got the high collar and the hat to cover up any ability to see his face and he's like hey girl hey you like my gun blaster deal to damage to all of her minions if any die repeat this battle cry oh my god I didn't read the text Godfrey is the best card in this entire expansion Lord Godfrey is ridiculous his fashion sense is on point you are the next MasterChef Lord Godfrey is so good so great so good this is the file this is the file but bigger bigger oh yeah whoa whoa no shiver went all the way down my spine is so good this is this is the file 2.0 that's good warlocks or like yeah you know what I was feeling low onboard clears that's good that we managed to fill that gap in there um one thing that I think is very significant to note about this is that Lord Godfrey is an odd cost card if you wanted to make yourself an odd warlock note that odd warlock is your hero power cost too and it reads draw a card you don't take damage you just draw a card for to each turn if you are an odd cost only warlock and so Lord Godfrey is the great way to have a sweeper instead of defile well actually almost all the sweepers are even costed to file as to health by for twisting nether is 8 so Lord Godfrey at the seven spot is so good let's look at warrior I think we're gonna have to go all the way to the bottom of this yeah okay Baco the moon eater start of the game if your deck has only odd cost cards upgrade your hero power mage your fire blast deals two damage priest you heal for four warrior you armor up for four shaman you get to choose the totem oh my god that's such a weak one rogue equip a 2/2 dagger or something I think the road sucks I know that for drew it it's get +2 attack and +2 armor for hunter it's deal three damage to the face for paladin its summoned to one once and then we have one more for warlock it's draw a card without taking any damage just draw a card so Baku the Moon eater I really feel like is extraordinarily relevant to when we look at these cards cuz warpath eco deal one damage to all minions amazing right it's like an advanced sleep with the fishies this seems like a super good card but I really think that warlock it there's me warrior is going to be all about the game for armor it's gonna be all about the tank up so I think that warpath is an extraordinarily nice flexible a plus card it's a great card but I just think that odd warrior is gonna be really really really really good woodcutters X let me woodcutter ask you a question death-rattle give +2 +1 to a random friendly Rush minion so this card is a beautiful stat line this is an excellent anti aggro tool just being able to do two two for two but then to buff the Rush minion Oh baby I think that there's going to be an aggro rush warrior deck that's going to have some excellent excellent can control the board early on and woodcutters axe is I think a pretty spectacular card to be getting in there like the the ball the unidentified ball that costs three four paladin is a very strong very strong card and a lot of pallet index so I think that the woodcutters acts being death-rattle get +2 +1 to Fran random friendly rush Megan I think it's gonna be I mean rush minions already are about getting strong control of the board with optimal trades so I think that there could be like um a non charge very strong warrior deck was the Dragon Warrior deck that run the the champions the fairy dragons the dragon did crushers the two six dragon that becomes three six and taunt if you're holding a dragon there's a lot of those kinds of decks that have lived in the past and I think woodcutters Act supports that archetype really really well I think this is just an extraordinarily fair strong card in a more mid-range to aggressive or your deck this is gonna be a top tier card rapid worgen I donut op - your card are you kidding me is this really that great Alexstrasza champion was a three three four two mana this is a and that had charge right this is a three speed for three mana with rush no Rabbid worgen your power level is too low get away from here red ban wasp rush has plus three attack well damaged na seems really hard to activate i think cuz red ban wast if you look at it it's effectively a four - four - it's arguable that this could be considered a counter aggressive deck like if you have a 2-1 in a 1-1 I play the red band wasp to pop your - or to pop your 1-1 so I'm a four - then he's my woodcutters axe to pop your 2-1 and now I have a really strong red band wasp yeah so I I'm really not crazy about red band wasp I think that it's just not strong enough as a rush card I think if it was like a two three with rush I'd be like militia commander rush game +3 attack this turn this i weirdly I feel like it's incorrectly costed for me to get excited about it because if I slam this down late in the game imagine where I might turn nine I play the militia commander plays a militia commander it's a 5/5 and I can hit something and get a valuable trade and now I'm to five you know the only time I could really make advantage of being a 5/5 with Rush to let make use of the five would be if there's a target for it because after that it's just it's just a to five but if we're in turn four there's not that many five health things that he would have on turn three or four that I could pop what the militia commander is a good trade I really don't have a lot of faith on the militia commander she's only got one eye I can't tell if she's like holding a rapier or if she's like lost her right hand and elected to have it replaced with a rapier I mean that's not even a good choice this is this is I think at best a conditional Tarr creeper killer and even then I just don't have a lot of faith in it I am I'm down with the militia commander not even into militias man this is a poorly armed militia faster route Hulk after a friendly minion attacks game plus one attack um believe a bowl unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable five mana often going to be an ever-growing threat it's after a friendly minion attack so it's buffing himself okay imagine you're a rush deck with aggro and mid-range characteristics Oh imagine that imagine this just think about it okay imagine you have dudes on the board you have dudes on the board all right it's turn five you slam down the festeroo cult he's already sweating he's sweating your points he's recovered he's drenched the festeroo cold comes down he doesn't know how to read but he knows numbers he's he's to seven okay I can handle it to seven then your board of minions they start dunking in there bang bang bang on all the Sundays at 670 oh I die if I could read I would have known to be prepared for this panicked oh this card is so good this is going to be an absolute all-star I feel like this is kind of like a cheaper slightly worse Drakon and crusher for a mid-range aggro deck whoo yes yeah uh-huh a Plus Card one of the best cards for warrior Town Crier draw a rush main from your deck I am about as excited for the town crier as I am about when I have to floss yeah you know the sort of enthusiasm when the dentist when you're leaving the dentist he's like yeah nose great thanks for coming in make sure you floss and you go yet absolutely uh-huh that that all that tone that I say to that dentist is what I say when I think of the Trump the town crier if there are some amazing rush minions okay you can draw a removal card all right yeah this I think is mostly a deck thinner for a deck that's trying to get somewhere let's pretend for a moment that I am a control warrior that's trying to set up dead man's hand infinitum a town crier functions in many ways like a shield block it's I get it I get a little bit of a thing I've been my deck more so Town Crier nah deadly arsenal reveal a weapon from your deck deal its attack to all minions oh by deadly arsenal is the sort of car that's gonna get me real excited but I think this card is bad these cards bad the reason it's bad is because you can't set it up how do you get this card to be good you have lots of big old weapons you're on to Gore house to arcanite reaper in the deck don't run a whoa cleaver it only does three damage and it's costing six are we kidding me and it's attacked to all minions wait it's an attack to all minions this is so bad this is so bad this card is which would Apple tear yeah Oh minions yeah I think that cuz here's here's the thing if you have tried to run reckless flurry which is destroy all your shields deal that much damage to all minions even that card feels a little bit like herb because it's hard to set up the circumstance in which it can like and go off right deadly arsenal if you just draw your weapons you just are like it doesn't feel good and there's the really important weapons and warrior right now the blood razor no if there was a card that let me shuffle weapons into my deck I mean I guess I could do something ridiculous like a dead man's hand with the weapon in hand and then deadly arsenal to sweep and clear everything I mean that just sounds hilarious I'm probably gonna build that deck let's do it Darius Crowley Russia have this attacks and kills a minion game plus two plus two now this is what I mean by at the time when I would want to play this on turn five the stat line makes sense and the ability can get prized on turn five he's just finished with his turn for turn five and assuming that I am a deck that has any board at all I'll likely have the capability of being able to pick off a minion with Darius Crowley and it will just be able to continue to grow I think that Darius cruelly will a very high percentage of the time be capable of and buffed to 6x I really think that there is a beat-down rush decadent that is brewing that's really really tough to deal with I really think that the I really think that there is a agro to mid-range rush warrior deck that's just gonna look good because this card's nice maybe I'm just not excited about this card I'm just not excited about the start but you know I guess if you're doing a rush beatdown deck then you want to rush cards this card is amazing and has synergy in a rush deck this I think is the weaker rush card I'm not excited about the red band wasp not excited about that worgen maybe I should be I'm very excited about this weapon maybe the weapons and the other things surrounding justified the Rabbid worgen on the right band loss but I mean I just think it's very very very very very clear that there's going to be an extremely strong aggro mid-range beatdown ish style deck that's reminiscent of the old dragon beat down the ran to dragon and operatives every town crier is actually just nice because it will always help you draw precisely something at the start of the game maybe the cry was actually tighter than I believe black hail guns fire this is the sweetest card ever oh my god look at it just firing out with canons recklessly in all angles can't attack whenever this minion takes damage deal three damage to a random enemy has a nice stat line except if you're against a priest cuz you burst into tears when he just shrinks it and snatches it up with a stupid stupid cabal shadow priest mmm I think blackout gun spire is actually a really nice fun cool control card I really think it's tight tied with it too tight we have warpath whirlwind his blood rays are being rotated out if my blood freezer might be getting rotated ABS anyone know does anyone know the stat line for black house guns fire is such that it's a little bit difficult for him to deal with just recall it it can't attack so we're not looking at at stat line as a regular combat opinion but if our opponent does want to try to take it out has a good stat line in that circumstance blood razor is not rotating up okay Gregory great that's right it's Wrath of the Lich King now who I actually really like black Allah conspire is it good though that's a good question is it is it any good yeah despi just I'm come sitting dad's lab dad's evaluating I actually actually you know what look I'm gonna go out on a limb alright let's let's just let's just risk some reputation yeah have a seat despi I think this card is gonna be amazing that's right we're gonna run it in our control warrior Dex baby oh my god in an odd warrior yeah wait do we have any way to proc it with odd warrior [Music] Wow this cars gonna be amazing okay listen listen listen listen listen listen listen you have a deck that draws really deep right you got dead man's hand you got the black how guns fire you dead man's hand to get another one and you play this one deal some damage to it son Genesis you have to black out guns fires you keep whacking them you'll whack them off with the warpath you keep whacking them and then they're just three damaging just shooting out it looks exactly like this photo think about it you just get infinite black how guns fire whirlwind blast them up oh my god oh oh my god we just whirlwind so many things dude we're just gonna get infinite black hole guns fires in here you have no idea how sick this is gonna be that's right that's what warpath does I said it you heard it here first it whacks him off there it is black out guns fire boom swamp dragon egg death rattle at a random dragon to your hand not fantastic not not fantastic not not fantastic I feel like this is a blender that comes in a package with a toaster and you're looking at them saying I don't need a blender or a toaster right the swamp dragon egg add a random dragon to your hand I mean what it could do kind of is be a way to have an N exact get a little extra momentum randomly this I think I think that we're understanding why in real life Dragons have gone extinct I think I find that about 20% funnier than it actually is swamp dragon egg yeah this is I mean the thing is that like there's targets for it right I can be a paladin I'm gonna buff I'm gonna put a I'm gonna put the egg on top of a staggered on oh I love Spy courage steed yeah no I mean you can do that you could have a sanguine reveler eat this you could have a pterodax eat this but why so you can get a dragon in your hand the benefit of this is just not great I actually want to like put my hand right on that dragon just push it back into the egg and put duct tape around it Jesus Swamp leech a 2-1 with lifesteal um I think the most that I want to talk about is that this image is gross I think when I look at this I'm like ooh yeah I wouldn't want ya hmm yeah gross um I think that really it's important that all of you take a moment to realize that tremors is on Netflix right now and tremors is a very good movie all of you should get a friend over and watch tremors and you'll go ahead it was pretty good now what I want you to do is take whatever your experience was divide it by 3 and said that is your expectation for tremors 2 and when you're done watching tremors to take whatever your experience was divide it by 3 and then watch tremors 3 and that'll be your expectation and then after that I want you to multiply the amount of fun that you had by about 10 and then go into tremors 4 and watch tremors 4 hmm and the thing is if you watch tremors 5 which yeah I made it all the way there you actually experience pure joy pure joy pure joy you you yeah you're gonna want to watch it and the tremors look kind of like the swamp leech lost beer death rattle give your minions plus one attack I think this is terribly good this is terribly good I mean lost spirit there there's been other things real I give you all your minions plus one plus one but it's so hard to get a death rattle to proc properly like this yeah I think I thinks it's not great ya know I'm gonna give this I'm gonna give this I'm gonna give this a sort of last pick draft choices kind of thing all right spell she four plus one damage each chances your hand swap stacking health no I don't think so I mean should I know I don't think I should evaluate this card I've never wanted a higher damaged weaker health spell damage dude oh I don't think poor dollar on mage the three-man a14 with spell damage or dollar on mage yeah I think that's I think this is zero out of 100 vicious scale hide yeah this is the one remember our beast car that should function properly with the Mastiff yeah you remember that this is the target for it man vicious scale had like steel rush 1 3 4 2 mana you make it a 4 6 life steel rush and you get three of those puppies in your deck they still house 2 the value keeps coming but not as much value as should be on the Mastiff I don't understand why if you have a 5 for ecco rush card in hand you can't just keep playing five for rushers that's so stupid uh glennister's his weight tremors is in fact not on netflix wait what it was there two days ago oh my god netflix must have its to content constantly changing damn it okay but the vicious scale hide I feel like is a really nice card in paladin or just any situation which it could be buffed this is just a really cool controller card that I feel like fits in that identity of Rush being a sort of counter aggression card that said black wold pixie battle cry refresher hero power okay here's the thing by the way we're gonna explain rush again rush is you can attack the turn it's played except you can't attack enemy heroes so charge + can't stack enemy heroes this turn is the same thing as rush tremors 1 4 is on HBO ok then it on HBO tremors 5 is on Netflix damn ok yes so rush is you can attack creatures the turn that it's played but you can't attack heroes the turn that it's played so black ball pixie here's my opinion blackballed Pixies going to be all over the place any deck that is an odd deck has to run black wall pixie it must ought only decks are run because they buff your hero power this is a three cost three four it's really good it's great stats it's nice anti aggro and it refreshes your damn hero power so on turn three you can play this is anti aggro on turn 5 you can play it as anti-ag row with a hero power on turn 7 you can hear a power black wall picks the hero power I really really really think black wall pixie even though I'm not excited about it it's gonna show up in like every single Aude cost deck and therefore will give it the hmm yeah no I want to give an award I want to give it an award that actually feel like makes sense you know I feel like there's a lot of mobile games that are like black walled pixie like a whole lot of people play it and 100 percent of them when you ask them if they like it they're like yeah it's okay I do it when I'm on elevators that's a black wall pixie right there right this is gonna be in like all kinds of deck this I here's my bet this is going to be the most played card in the whole expansion why not this is gonna be the most played card this is it this is our very least top ten most played card this is it this card is gonna be all the damn over the wave than the place because of the odd cost deck setup thing but no one's gonna be that excited about it right hence clam thug after hero attacks give this minion plus one plus one hmm arena all-star yeah yeah yeah mm-hmm yes it is yes it is for druids and for rogues the thing about the hench clamp thug is that there's a whole lot of Rove decks that have historically had some minion that grows in the form of the mega man a worm most commonly the questing adventurers or just generally getting out somewhat of a thick van cleef that's difficult to remove early on and hench clan thug I feel like plays in very nicely to a hero power on to rogue that then gets a big spike of power with the hench clan thug hench clan thug is the type of card that's very effective for its costs it's always gonna be a 4 4 4 3 in any deck that it's played and that will cause a disproportionate response from the opponent so I think that this is actually a really nice card for rogue and maybe for druid but I'm singing baroque really is a nice card Marsh Drake really nice card and rogue battle Christ some two to one poisonous Drake Slayer for your opponent you simply have to have an answer for this but otherwise it's five four I liked this card frankly more than I like to hench clamp bug because once this is out it's just out this just feels great I think this is a very powerful rogue card and I think that virtually everywhere else it's buhbuh buhbuh buhbuh bad pumpkin peasant no no no no no no nope no deck no deck will run this none absolutely not it's gonna have circumstantial efficiency in some arena decks because you know it's a body that can maybe circumstantially heal you up in a little bit but now no man the pumpkin peasant he needs to have the swagger of the priest pumpkin man of the squash gun super nope super milled Raven collar battle cry had to ran in one cost minions to your hand nah no you know I'm just not that interested in the Raven collar it does say to random one cost minions to your hands so if you're a robe you could add two cards of other classes to your hand and we could go straight Burghley very girly yes so I mean this is I mean oh wait a minute quest hunter you remember the hunter quest yeah however now paladin legendary no I don't think it actually procs with Liam let's go back to Liam Liam Liam hoe yep it's transformed all one cost cards in your deck into legendary minions where is this card is take me back take me back this card is just maze into your hand just means into your hand so this doesn't seem that great I mean maybe flood paladin is gonna add the Raven collars for more ways to generate nerds but I don't think so tangle for mystic battle cry at a random to cost meaning to each player's hand I do not understand this card at all I just do not at all period this is this is really bad isn't it I mean it's a 3 4 4 3 which has kind of a good stat line but you get him a thing and you give you a thing like I don't understand maybe it's a good arena card I don't know I don't know all right walnut sprite first of all best art in all of which would ok can we look at this like here's the thing he was originally like this and then he was like this and you know what that what that makes it makes bye there it is well not sprite looking at he's got his little cane he's like bye walnut sprite the absolute king of the forest oh my god no one can crack this nut look at him go what a fabulous walnut sprite jeavons got it like he's only looking at you with his right eye he couldn't even be bothered to look at you with this one this one's just looking up and forward that is the top terrorists are ever alright so walnut sprite a 3/3 echo for 3 part of me feels that if there is a minion focused deck that exists you know you heard me talk about the possibility of sort of like a minion focused elemental mage Prince Kelley south is still there walnuts sprite has a ton of value I think this is one of the most of vanilla flexible cards that exist in all of which would because I mean even if you just draw it on turn six or later you can just get to three 3s or if you've Calais theft you get to 4/4 while only spending one card and that I think is traditionally a problem with a minion heavy deck most of the ways in which you gain cards which I mean what's the ways in which you draw cards in hearthstone are based upon spells so the fact that these echo cards kind of get around that in a very clever way I think it's pretty cool mr. Jack says ugly are we talking about mr. Jack this is the best art in the entire set oh wait that's I forgot you get 1 4 4 & 1 3 3 because echo things don't keep buffs because that doesn't it actually no I don't know Matt suddenly feeling really sad about the walnut sprite that stinks fell sole Inquisitor a lifesteal talk 1 6 this is a worse version of that paladin card that needs buffs this is only going to be good if you buff it messenger rush he turns in your hand swap it stack and help oh oh oh my god wait lady and white we got our lady in white target w IG HT white alright also closer it actually ok swift messenger rush he turns in your hands to opposite a cat health um see I actually kinda like this card more than the 2/5 that gets +3 battle cry this whoops this warrior card right here game +3 attack this turn I can almost do that perfectly I liked it has six but it can also be a six - this could be certainly gonna be valuable in arena the ability to just blow up a large dude for four but Galilee's like Leroy messenger um weak weak bad I think it's weak too bad I think it's an unreliable card on the board I think it's unreliable she could be good in the warrior rush deck using the ax because I mean like if you played a swift messenger as a two six blow up your ax you know have a four seven with rush which i think is excellent swifter messenger oh it's werewolf unpowered steam bot a zero nine with taunt and and twilight drake scoffs at your pathetic attack value of zero inner fire priests are like looks good looks like a very valuable card I'll run two of them clockwork automaton deal double the damage and healing of your hero power um might be good to run in a not only deck this doesn't do anything to warrior because warriors gain armor you'll be able to deal for damage is mage you'll be able to heal for eight as priests be able to shoot for six as hunter I'll be able to deal for damage with Shadow Priests I mean if your ghoul Dan you can't run this leave your ghoul Dan you'll bite for six yeah I see value here but I feel like clockwork automaton is not a deck thee or not a car that you build a deck around rather it's a card that happens to be able to synergize in the auto lead X I think that's happening that's it we can also become quest warrior finish the quest play the clockwork automaton and shoot for sixteen which is pretty awesome but I think this is this is a card that supports some other deck archetypes but is not like the craziest thing rotten apple bumped on restore for health to your hero um Wow yeah this is okay this is yeah dude yeah man right oh I do rotten apple balm man I'm starting to get back on the Apple train this is nice a four or five taunt that heals you in the five slot are the five cost slot traditionally that's where we see a lot of really consistent defensive cards and control decks things like the sludge belcher there is the second-rate bruiser that's a four or five that cost three if you have some other dudes yes this is nice this is really nice this is gonna be very good in quest to taunt warrior dark mire moon can spell damage plus two I mean you you know you know you know it's not a beast for whatever reason the other men can was yeah no I don't I don't understand here's what I'm thinking okay if you're dark mire moonkin malla ghost and Valen die when you resurrect you know what you get a lot of spell damage mmhmm yeah hmm however I think that the dark mire moonkin is really bad too expensive furious Ettin oh hey we get a nice big top and the five drops slot that everybody can use oh yeah I think furious Ettin is pretty nice and I'll say it twice I think it's pretty nice certainly good in arena and I think it's going to be a staple and auto lead decks but I mean beyond that it's just a mediocre house five nine with taunt warm garden for holding a dragon game plus one attack and Todd worm guard I think is going to be a very common card and sort of defensive dragon based decks you know the primordial Drake is still in there worm guard can I think be another really nice one and then if you have an Emirates in your hand oh you can use that to make this off 722 with taunt which is super super super sick and also very very thick seven mana it's alright call them elemental your other elementals have +2 attack holy this is a real blow out card I think that it looks initially it just looks like too expensive not good no thank you put the medes I think going to slow down a little bit the aggro decks aren't gonna be quite as effective and if you get almost any amount of elementals on the board even if you have to and you play causing elemental that's a that's a lot of attack that's pretty intimidating I think that it won't wind up getting really run ever because I mean let's be honest like if you're an elemental deck and you're playing like fire elementals and blowing people up I mean you don't want to ramp up to a cauldron elemental it's not gonna get you excited right you promise you wanna kill along turn seven or something like that against I think it's a little slow there's a little slot actually nevermind zero out of 100 0 100 deranged dr. death rattle restore 8 healthcare hero discards weird it's huge and threatening and helpful whoa wow that's really that's really weird it's really that's a really really really weird card I think I think no one will run it yeah kidding you see this being good like most decks that want a really large scary finisher it's almost never just like spending 8 mana to play in 8/8 right like you know Giants are interesting cards because there are ways to get them for cheaper and only then that's why they're valuable but here when you play the deranged doctor you then have to have it die in order to heal 8/8 is I don't know it seems really weird I allege that this is a good arena card because it buys time and trades well but I don't think this is a constructed car fan of militia I think we'll wound up being run a ton I think this is an unbelievable card because of the echo 2 4 taught for 3 means that on turn 9 right you can get 3 to 4 taunts with one card that's excellent this also is going to be very interesting judgment if you're up against an aggressive deck do you play it on turn 3 or you try to hold off till turn 6 to pop two of them down Phaeton militia is just good good good good good good good good good because of the fact that it has echo I mean the ability to have one card summon a whole bunch to fours oh my god quest warrior oh my god and the fact that it's odd oh my god this is this is just it's ridiculously good this is a fantastic card life drinker battle cry deal three damage to the enemy hero or store 3 health to your hero okay who wants to hear the combo who wants to hear the combo all right are you ready looks bad huh doesn't look good right play to life drinkers they both die yeah or they live doesn't even matter huh Yeah right yeah uh-huh plague Rumble world shaker doesn't matter if anything's dead right you've played to life drinkers and grumble what does grumble do return everything to your hand they cost one yeah uh-huh then you place shudder walk which then does all the battle cries so it's gonna deal three damage to the enemy hero heal you for three deal three damage to the enemy hero helio for three then return that shudder walk to your hand and it costs one now the next turn you can play that ten times do you see that pretty sick sort of walk will go to your hand now oh that's right you need to play a saronite chain gang because grumble is all other minions no problem no problem look at that look at that you can shudder walk life drink your way to infinity i I do want to I do want to take a needle and pop this I just want to say that right there that looks like a really nice pop and target Mad Hatter says battlecry randomly toss three hats on to other minions each hat gives plus one plus one fungal dancer is a five man a 2/2 that gives adjacent minions plus two plus two and Mad Hatter is more damaged less cost one less plus one plus one but you can toss hats on to enemies um I I actually think that this is a really nice zoo card or a grow hunter card I really really really do any any deck that generally on its turn four has the capability of clearing the opponent's board I think this could actually be really really really nice cuz I mean leaves a 3-2 body there if it's an empty board um it won't do anything cuz its other minions are they actually explorers hats that return to your hand if the minion dies I don't I don't think so doesn't say friendly minions no no III know that's why I just said like if you are an aggro deck that can clear the enemies board when you play this like that's where it's good so I think that like hunter or Zoo if there's no any minions there this is actually a very very very powerful effect and if there's hats on top of them then this is the best car that's ever been printed in hearthstone if there's no hats it's just a stat game I'm here for hats right this needs to be the tf2 card alright night Prowler battle cry this is on a this is the only minion on the battlefield game plus three plus three weird weird weird weird uh no no no not good not good not a chance in hell wait no it's battle cry oh my god it's a battlecry but it's not a 4-man of seven seven I think therefore it's bad um mmm if I'm a control deck against control deck I get a cheap six no no it sucks no no no chance not a chance no not in a million years no here's the reason why we're against an aggro deck we have to wait till turn four to play three three and he's always gonna have a dude on board boo I think it's a control deck that's where this gonna have value and all I do is get a six six four four and I have to kind of plan and wait a little bit wouldn't I much rather have a more consistent high static dude out yes replace that card repeal and replace that card scale weren't for man about five if you're holding a dragon game plus one attack and rush Oh interesting hey guys have you seen my eyes look I just got plates on top of them or those are really cool sunglasses and he's like one groovy dude with big ol ear horns I think this is not amazing um plus one attack is okay like a four man five for ya gaining rush I don't know this is very good it's hard for me to envision the way in which the condition would actually get proct which would Piper back I draw the lowest-cost minion from your deck so if you run two of these which would Piper is gonna draw with which would Piper which is item draw another thing no no now I just the only reason that this would be cool is if you played this and it drew you a pretty expensive card that you're looking specifically for super slow hard to have control over nope nipa d dipa d nope Chief Inspector bow cry destroy all enemy secrets oh my God look at look at that sexy little green that's what I see when I see his teeth like that he's like pointing over there I said those secrets there yes oh my god mmm who here hates secrets I know everybody does yes which would grizzly talk battle cry lose one health for each card in your opponent's hand this card is ridiculous this is ridiculous even without the lady in white oh my god I think that this is broken AF this is the most broken thing I've ever seen this is broken an arena this is broken against aggro if you're against control often you'll be able to get away with six or less damage to face and I mean lose one health for each card in your opponent's hand the minion loses health not the hero wait what it says lose one health for each card in your opponent's hand wait really that's such weird language because I'm used to like the injured Blademaster that's like this minion deals damage to itself because this battlecry lose one health for each card in your opponent's hand I want to lose one health I assumed that that was referring to me devices to the hero otherwise okay okey dokey dokey all right well okay so this is an aggro this is okay never this is this is a complete anti aggro card so this is a sort of anti Twilight Drake right first of all it's just always gonna be a 3:12 and you took damage of my flock that's ridiculous lose one health returned upon hand so if you're against aggro you're gonna be a 3/8 taunt for 5 ok it's this this cards never right so it's okay it's okay it's an okay card there's cute things you can do with it like you know Oh master Oh card it out but you know alright Gil man Royal Guard three eight divine shield rush this is this is an arena all-star you get a hard removal of a large thing and you get you get thickness it's hard for me to envision this ever being successful in a constructed deck baleful banquet choose a friendly minion shuffle a copy of it into your deck top tier oh my god I think this gets nine Kibler Orgazmo faces baleful banker oh yes Oh baleful banker ya-ya-ya-ya-ya to mana play a legendary a big scary dude put the baleful banker down shuffle your your three eight mega turret back into the deck yes infinite gun houses I think that this I think this is an insanely good card because of the various combos that it will enable with certain key legendaries that's why so for instance if I am a control mage and I can run out a really nice card and then baleful it like I mean even simple things like Baron Geddon baleful it's great it's great rigor they're great you can even do really insane things like you could play a molten giant baleful banker to put it into your deck and then holy wrath the opponent's face for a billion oh I guess they did move them out molten giant all the way over there well damn I think this I just think this is very very sick there's a ton of cards a ton of Legendary's that if you were able to run two or three of they just become so so so strong so baleful banker I think is gonna enable lots of really big possibilities this this card feels I don't think it's nearly as powerful as Emperor Thoresen but I think that it is the type of card that will enable Thorsen s combos you know like even Brann Bronzebeard enabled a bunch of crazy combos being able to do battle cry twice I think baleful bankers are just an insane value card you can draw this with Piper for your combo this is pretty sick is is great nightmare amalgam I think is hilarious this is the most hilarious card I this is so funny this is so funny man this is great I mean a three four four three is nice and it fits in all the tribes all the tribes um I mean the three four merlok hmm a three four merlok I think here's the thing it's probably going to permit some smoothing of the curve for elemental mechs don't matter demon that might actually matter merlok I think it's going to be extraordinarily effective most of the merlok three cost cards are not beefy cards they're buffing cards cold light seer or lock war leader even the what is the primal fin look out the three to put another one in your hand three to discover merlok let's see here dragon maybe this is actually gonna be a good dragon proc pirate music dude I don't know I don't know hello evaluate discard whatever this card is famous in all the world voodoo doll sick stick sick what the hell this card is ridiculous this is one of the best cards that has ever been printed in hearthstone this is a ridiculous card if for the only reason that this is in mage even if it's just image I mean like I said I can't can't believe this card so like mage now has a way to kill a thing and summon three six water elemental with lifesteal I think voodoo doll is ridiculous this is ridiculous like the fact that this is a consistent water elemental summoner for Jana is insane III can't I can't believe how good this card is man okay which is cauldron after friendly minion dies out a reign of shaman spell to your hand completely random and weird is gonna wind up in some meme Dex sand biter battle cry draw an elemental from your deck mike hunter rush battle cries summon 2 to 1 MUX forth on it um again I think this is this could be a really insane card in the sort of mid range to aggro warrior rushed act like it's a five-eighth let's say I have a weapon and another minion out you know I can pop the weapon into one of the two ones muck hunter the other one and now I have like a mega buffed muck hunter if you do the subtraction this is this is a 5-4 based upon the to muck links but if you have the good setup it could be really nice oh my God he's so cute oh that looks like you des P yeah you're a little nut cutter kit yeah mossy destroyed all of their minions with two or less attack this card is just gonna get run dude it's just gonna get run this is a very very solid tech card certainly could be used as one of if there are certain archetypes that are popular for instance flood paladin a flood paladin was still a thing you just throw out a mossy and there it goes it's very possible that this just won't have much play if the meta has any flood eNOS to it mossy is gonna be now warlock could do the thing where they do - - - - to your health and then play the mossy - blow everything up so the there was a Murloc the - 3 merlok that dealt two damage to all non merlocks that even had some play but mossy horror i think is even better than that we're gonna bomb nation at the end of your turn you have to damage all other damaged minions really good in arena doesn't seem very good outside of that such a strongly conditional effect and it's a little bit more difficult to have consistency in your boards on both sides if you're playing instructed splitting faster route arena star and other than that like I don't really care for this card it's cool but I don't really see the synergy with anything else it's just it's just a stat tree there's a smaller stat tree wood chip oh my god do this art is so awesome doll Master Dorian whenever you draw minions someone one copy of it I'm imagining that mage deck that only runs to arcane intellects and two of the to manager all three discard spells I mean maybe this will actually be a thing in Cuba [Music] let's see what are the combos with doll Master Dorian on the turn that it's played you could don't like so things that draw immediately sub doll Master Dorian arcane intellect doll Master Dorian elven minstrel doll Master Dorian hero power with warlock I guess card sucks it sucks this is this is the ink master so Leah of which would more like dump master Dorian so bad doll master Dorian is the worst card that has been printed in this expansion that's it bottom Oda barrel that's it not even gonna show up to anything what deck benefits from this deck with cards rotating out south sea squid face oh you can imagine I'm a king's Bane rogue I play the Kings bane I played all Master Dorian I play the Elephant minstrel it draws to south sea squid faces oh my god what was that about my Levin no it's being rotated out boo does big priest want this no big priest doesn't draw cards it summons dead things whenever you draw minions on a 1:1 copy of it maybe if I'm a death rattle hunter but even then the consistency on this is super duper nope sense demons into more void daddy's gross this card is the ink master so Leah of which would no one's gonna play it people who do are gonna be upset people are gonna be demanding dust at the gates of Blizzard because daugh Master Dorian was in their first pack of hearthstone there it is get in a mnemonic getting Greymane start a game if your deck has only even cost cards you're starting hero power cost 100 media look at this and I go hey that's shaman eel the two three the deals - and the even decks overrated not a good card cuz being able to summon one cost totems doesn't seem so great I'm not that excited by this I'm not that excited by this shadow forms an odd cost card I mean like okay if I'm if I may if I may massive totem summoner as shaman just summon totems like crazy I just don't think that this will be I don't think that this will be good this Oh a Selena soul fee for place your hand with a copy of your opponent's I really think that this is going to be nice to run in a mostly aggro deck it's kind of like a over costed divine favor with a body um at the very least is gonna be great for memes SuperDuper great for memes very meaningful very meaningful as I said the comment about aggro decks I think I completely disagree I think my analysis for that was absolutely wrong what a garbage analysis by day nine I can't even believe he suggested running this is some sort of a grow card aggro deck excuse me yeah this is just not oh yeah no no no no no no no because sometimes I just have this and it's a dead carcass on one plate see that yeah nanana countess Ashmore battle cry draw Russia life steel and death rattle card from your deck I think this is a very strong card solely for the reason that the curator was a seven-man of for six with top that was running many many many decks I think that the flexibility of being able to construct a deck with to rush to live steel and to death rattle minions with one countess Ashmore really helps guarantee that you can have some extraordinary card draw without having traditional card draw effects you're just you just have bodies and so there's a lot of really grindy paladin control decks that i think would benefit from a countess ash more being able to just constantly we redraw stuff without doing some throw away card draw I think a really important thing to note about countess Ashmore is that it's rush life steel and death rattle card from your deck so for instance Kings Bane is a death rattle card but not a death rattle creature there are spells to have the life steel key word on it and so you can draw those as well so I think that's like really really cool I think this is a super cool cute turd coeur d'coeurs curator 2.0 Baku the moon eater this is the best card in the entire expansion of which woods because I'm gonna be able to get some odd costed warrior going oh my god odd paladin hey I'm odd control paladin man I run lanessa Sun sorrow I don't do anything with bells I run only odd bus hmm we're gonna be some so many one ones oh my god flood with the one ones right from the start of the game Oh God dude we are going to go straight just a carful and with that our card review ends we talked for 3 and 1/2 hours continuously I didn't even take a break except to go get more coffee which I can still drink let me take a little bit of a break because I want to continue to eat my ridiculously healthy salad with chicken combination and then we come back we're gonna play some hearthstone we're gonna fantasize about what its gonna be like on Thursday now tomorrow I'm gonna be playing as a dota 2 but on Thursday and Friday it's gonna be all the hearthstone pack opening and confirmation that this card review was the most correct card review that has ever been published in the history of the Snarf's stone so thanks for hanging out we'll be back in just a minute let me go over here we're gonna do we're actually gonna take a little bit of a break we're gonna do like a like a like an eight minute break cuz that was long that was long my voice needs a break get a little tired it's Kelly back
