How Bad is the Hearthstone Basic Set?

the harsh stand basic set has been around for over five years by now and with every single expansion we get more cards added to the game nowadays there were 2000 different cards in Hoschton from which only 133 belong to the basic set my name is solemn or today we are going to take a look at how bad the basic set actually is even when just starting out hearthstone you face tier 1 meta decks you could not play those cards in any scenario without losing the game I don't mean these cuts that are going to show you how bad I mean they are horrendous ly bad and should not be included in any deck at all that being said let's start with goldshire footman it's a one two that has taught that's the entire fact it does absolutely nothing when you played in the main one drops you would like to play over this is basically any one drop in the game but even cuts like Firefly they give you a one to two year hand again a sky Raider in warrior or even just a normal Catholic beaming sidekick is so much better and playing goldshire footman I remember when I started out playing hearthstone in early 2015 and building my first paladin deck and the front of my told me don't include goldshire footman he is horrible well he gets worse and worse every few months when new cards get added which brings us to a blood phone Raptor it's a two minute 3-2 beast period now just for the stat line of a two minute 3-2 there are at least 10 better choices you can make in all classes as well as neutral cards even back in un'goro in early 2017 when crackling rise Emma was released it was already clear that this cat will never see play again in any deck ever leaked of explorers get a huge tote that is literally the same stat line also beast but has a good effect and recently we had our good friend arcane flop me chat it would you rather have a 3-2 without a fact that does nothing or theta that basically cast consecration on the enemies field I guess we can all agree nobody's going to use bluff interrupt and any deck ever maybe you should get +1 health or something but the way is right now he is that you know what is also pretty doubt our two men a meme drop river croc ELISA whenever there is a new two-minute tooth we added to the game it has an effect and obvious its compared to this croc honest care which does and nothing the moment you play it just to show some examples there cut cyclic a crawler dead literally kill a pirate destroy minion and get a buff or the same stats mana cost as well as be stack lace and a belly angler which is the entire Malaka generation of shaman needs to win the game and even vanta we recently got a face stalker you see hero power and he has the seeker from attack this effect is much more powerful then to river crocodile I don't know who thought that you should always use that as a normal Stata and then add good effects to it well why not just giving the river calculus cuz small buff suffer like hair stealth or anything being a do-nothing card doesn't work in hearthstone anymore the moment you play a card it either has to have taught and a fact or just anything that makes it worth playing or putting it into a DAC at least one of those attributes is true for the next cut where Frostwolf grunt might have taunt that it's the only thing he has you pay two mana to get a 2/2 that protects it from one attack from one a fact there are one drops that have better stats than this the might not have taunt like that little raven on the last service good-looking guy but there one mana less there half the cost and have the same stat line now what else could you get for two mana you could get a shielded minibot a card additionally survives the attack and then he still have a tutu left as the Mac attack so it can get magnet has done and it's just a so much better to drop in the grunt ever was even back in gvg you could play a no dice RoboCup choose the option health and give a tumor to three that has taught so it's Albany the same card but it gets plus one half and lastly we get the exact same card but for warrior and it discovers a card with frightened flunky most shaggy from scooby-doo to minute to to Todd but he discovered a minion it also has taught so it can discover itself so could be infinite this makes yourself even awesome cuts like elite tauren chief who have one of the best animations in the game can give you spell that summons a random band member suffer like that and Frostwolf grunt is one of those options you just wonder why stuff card still in the game if you were to lead it from today to tomorrow in the new patch do you think anybody would notice no no one would ever notice maybe in two to three years so now when anybody makes a documentary about the fall of hearthstone or something a dark hat is bad you know what else is hard silverback patriarchy now this is probably the basic card that was made the most fun of over the years there are a dozen better options to playing a theme a loved one for taunt and do nothing most notably they stole her defender a three-minute one for Tom in him the discovers another taunt man basically like the frightened flunky for frost for stoners supply and a bunch of ducks because discovering a Tom pinion drawing help I also have thought that's pretty good that's a pretty solid the fact you know what it's not a good effect Todd just having taught is completely useless if it has one attack it doesn't do any they have one drops they can kill this and still survive afterwards so three money could play something like evil miscreant at two lackeys - and use some combo potential when the game and actually be useful but the card better compared the most often was fierce monkey it has to say mana cost same health sever fact I've just been taunt it's also a beast that it has three attack there is literally no reason you would ever play silverback patriarch instead of fierce monkey maybe in some weird universe where your place have like Hobgoblin and then give a +2 posture but that universe is not where we live in the setting is feast monkey is also better than the next cut on this list which is an errand for grizzly nothing much to say he recites the cut is so bad even other cuts that never saw play in any deck like hired gun over here even there has at least +1 attack the most notably comparison what pitaka in my mind you know play top and his total damage if we talk means to protect you we talked repaired is the job our info grizzly dice even nowadays you can still play talk creeper in wild and to Solid 3 don't know which cutter can never play aren't for grizzly they obviously a bunch of other cuts that are just better than this but let's move on to the nerf edit we all started to question the decisions team 5 and the balancing team makes when designing and unearthing cuts Omega low commander over here what horrible decision was it to nerf a car that make it like this I'm giving every single Miniver 3 LS attack charge giving a charge when his plus one attack this has to be the biggest mean cod on our stuff we're not talking format a77 not talking border fists Olga we're not talking hurry we're talking your Trojans have +1 attack the most useless effect any card has if you could choose no effect all this a fact Alba trees the no effect whoever came up with that you should get fired at least from order to me manager now what is better than this unit this absolute unit of a three-drop well every single other three dogs in the entire game girls like Eva Cora must add a lackey to your hand gain three armor so you get a good car to your hand and you're also heal on the same mana cost the same stats you can even play Skype arch which has plus two health and also has an aggressive for fact a cat that sees playing pirate warrior there's water on command as you play in insert that in no Kosuke is that bad as it could be moving two more bad design booty boy bodybuilder um yeah so you're talking in that isn't the game to protect you for five mana has less health an attack and only five four in stats now if you vote making list of the worst cuts an arched on this might be one of them I don't necessarily want to compare two faceless guy over here which has the same stats but is twice as good and has a rush which kills the enemy minion which is basically taunt or just flake out like evil heckler another cut that never saw play in any deck but has the exact same effect it's the exact same carpet - well mana so it's cheaper and also doesn't supply do you think the cut that costs more C's by now they'll like this I'll make it - Tamara any just make this cut somehow work next guardian of Kings Ealing as a mechanic is not too bad especially if it is on a minion but you know what is about money in that heald's guardian of kings you cannot target it you can only restore health back to a hero you have to pay seven mana to restore six health which is basically a one manner of fact and you only get five six in stats no Todd no death metal nothing twenty cent of dragons we get this good-looking dragon over here he is - Ana less pizza for two more you can target that and that's only for the cost of one attack which in my mind makes it even better because if you face priests they counted with four attack necessarily now why would any living soul ever play guardian of kings instead of ember water and any deck I don't know maybe one of you guys now even neutral cards like shroom bro are so much better for the mana cost it's a formula for for restore for health still sees plane even warlock solid car guardian of kinks ATS garbage say with the next cut which is kind of sad but it's our war golem are we laughed 7-7 7 to nothing which is probably the very first card and they got a compared to another card that is more expensive in this case a legendary dr. boom and therefore never supply again even back in 2015 when Joseph Anderson made his review about hearthstone and named it the good the bad and the ugly it was pretty much 5 minutes of good things about harsh Sun from which for the half minutes are explaining how the game works and 40 minutes of how bad it is he brought the point about war golem there's no point employing a 7-7 sim without a fact when in gvg back in 2014 dr. voom got released Samara cos same stats but it summons boombots that can recite the entire game we also got cuts like Ironhide that summons five-five went over killing a minion and recently we get evasive Dragonoid has the dragon attack can't be targeted by spouts and also has thought there's only one cup left I would have to compare real quick because it is really similar to wall column and dr. boom and that is Aaron back protector back when knights of the Frozen Throne were released we get the Lich King also 8 mana also aided in sets it has taught you know what else is does it's a legendary SH you have to spend more money on the game and then you get a good cart that comes with near the entire game every single turn unless it's removed you know what our embarked us nothing but yeah at least new players have access to those carts and built they're fun and wacky docks that they can use against any play on leather and end up winning yet now let's get to the part where we talk about how the basic set should look like moving forward with harsh done entering twenty twenty first off a voice bang as well as daily are going to rotate out eventually they were not be in the classic set anymore they will not be in the standard set anymore they will be wild what should happen to those cuts in moment they should either be added to the classic a basic set there simply because a new player needs to do something or do they do they open google type and good hearthstone tax net deck the cheapest aggressive dock and point face is that's all they can do unless they spent like a hundred plus euros just about one single deck I think it's outdated within months we said that they should remove all the cuts that are more than five mana from the basic self those cuts seen no play at all like most like game cards you can include like five into a docket maybe play one of them per game but you will usually end up just dying one of my biggest problems with hearthstone in general is and there will be a longer video for this in the future even though I includes 30 cards on my dock if I opponent just place an hyper aggressive duck I play like six of them and then the game is over because either the opponent conceits and I cleared his board already started enough health so he gives up why I am that pretty much every cat over five mana is close to no chance to sing play unless the effect is really good which reaches back to the basic set those effects are not good getting new cuts attitude like radiance there is no point I don't want to restore five health of one mana and only to my hero even flash heal has the exact same effect but you can point you can decide what to heal other basic set makes you sad finally I would like to see the amount of cards per class instead of just ten to get increased to like twenty or thirty to need at least have somewhat viable cards then have to be the best cards but at least better than those useless things we have right now I thought it would be fun to analyze some statistics on the 60 minions in the basic set only 15 million see place somewhere and then includes cards like Luger warrior the basics that is horrible the good thing is though 50 out of the 68 spots they have they supply and half the weapons at least truce of a champion as well as arcanite reaper the very good shot with a Spartan the weapon I did a horrible job with all the minions I love that being said let me hear thoughts about how the basic set should look like and how new players should enter the game because if +9 deck slots might be too complicated then we probably will never get any new basic cuts my name is solo you can fight me on Twitch oh it's which TV slash solo I wish you a good day and take care
