ASSASSINATING THE BATTLEGROUNDS! - Hearthstone Battlegrounds

[@Alphabetatralala]

1:45 That counterplay is the one true highlight of the game tho.

[@Alphabetatralala]

Also I think the issue at 5:42 might be that token minions don't have non-golden versions in this game mode.

[@siwalker1037]

I was there chat went wild

[@antonsundin2974]

Worth pointing out that he was infact not afk, he did an emote as the fight started.

[@pmkaboo2446]

@@Alphabetatralala maybe just a coincidence, but today i had a game with arthas where i would swear i used the hero power and no minion was reborn.

[@Alphabetatralala]

@@pmkaboo2446 Maybe it's related and my hypothesis is wrong, which wouldn't be surprising.

[@johnathant6735]

Turn 1 Daryl is a genius. He took a minion, kept it in hand, and gave a big middle finger to Kripp’s Rafaam.

[@agr0nianTV]

Or he could of been stream sniping

[@giordanosantilli5539]

@@agr0nianTV dud predict cam be made without sniping

[@TheAzertjuh]

He didn't buy anything, he had no card in hand.

[@w1mark275]

He ended up getting 4th place anyways. Big brain dancing daryl play, doesn't even need an extra 1 gold on turn 2.

[@Apollad2]

@@agr0nianTV definitely was, he popped an emote after kripp sold and popped hero power.

Holy shit you’re fast

[@JackFastGame]

Could you explain this meme? I don't understand why many people say about that.

[@ravingodd]

I played a game today, used Zapp to snipe a mama bear, packleader combo, to take the #1 spot. Unfortunately the guy was left with 1hp, but he quit! And then because he attacked first next round, I lost to the ghost! So out of 8 people, EVERYONE died! But becuase I had most hp in the last round, I still took first place. While dead. Amazing.

[@ShubhThakkar]

damn thats crazy haha XD

[@ymmj13]

As of why Kripp didn't get a card, it's a bug. If the minion killed is a golden token you get nothing

[@freshjulian1]

Blizzard is a smul indie company dont blame them

[@No__Vanity]

Yeah they cant afford playtesting before an expansion, buy some packs and make sure to preorder both bundles to support those indie game developers

[@Berxy]

the whole game was cursed, simultaneous deathrattle and that.

[@Thanatos2k]

Yeah I log in today and my first game it crashes just because someone played Galakrond. Blizzard is beyond incompetent.

[@tylerhorn3712]

The way it it worded it should result in a non golden, non buffed version. This bug or "feature" sucks unless your familiar with it or know what the wording translates to in terms of action within the game.

[@sdccccc1]

I actually cackled when he said "Are you guys simple?"

[@zacksoape6900]

I am genuinely appreciative of your existence, Kripp. Never stop living the dream.

Yep

Yeah, what the hell was that?

[@alex240387]

lul.. that tabby cat just didn't want to hop on the hand.. dang

[@OziOzzy]

Anyone else notice that the token at the end diddnt give a star for winning?

[@johnnythreetimes3600]

I've seen that glitch before but have you seen this one? I hit a guy with 5 health at level 4 with 2 minions and somehow the player survived with 1 hp...

[@agentthumb87]

The damage was still added up from it

[@BigRobbb]

Visual bug. 6+1+1+3+4+6+1+6=28

[@oceanliketeacher]

Ok.. Rania, those thumbnails are gorgeous 😁

[@MrZerodaim]

Friendly reminder that there's another 6 star card that counters Zapp really hard: Maexxna. 2 attack makes it a prime target for Zapp, and only Rivendare or an unbuffed Junkbot will still get hit. 8 hp means that Zapp won't kill it, so place it on your second attacking slot (after the first one breaks divine shields) to trade your 2/1 for their big taunt. Also poisonous means that Zapp will die and not get to attack twice.

[@Billchuck007]

@5:45 There is a bug that won't give you a card if you kill a golden tabby cat first

[@dejangrudonic4542]

Lol thumbnail made me laugh 😂

[@tylerpalazzo2939]

4:05 I legit thought the deathrattle missed and was about to hit the field.

Man you have the best videos!!!!! And the thumbnails are on point!

Can’t wait till I’m a hero in this and crush everyone, the end is coming!

[@lkjkhfggd]

Passive hero power: at the start of turns 3-6, there is a 50% chance to destroy all minions. Bob offers minions all from one tier higher. The ability always occurs at least once per game.

[@johnnythreetimes3600]

Passive hero power: Bob endlessly bitches like a little girl so you feel like kripp is right beside you

[@AetherTheViator]

Hero Power: End is coming (2mana). Deal 1 damage to ALL minions.

[@bmkorean1]

Aatrox Main thats like shitty nefarian

[@gersoncoelho]

11:54 just passed a Junkbot 😮😮

[@fieryimmortal]

They might know you have that card, but its also a little late to switch builds, especially within 2 turns. you don't easily get your hands on a zap counter when the thing you need to protect has 1 attack

[@orsolyafekete7485]

Patchwerk didn't have Rivendare when he played against Kripp for the first time. He switched into it theoretically knowing fully well that his opponent has Zapp.

[@agr0nianTV]

0:40 Sure except for Poisonous Murlocs which seems to be the most common build :P Hell yeah another golden Selfless Hero 10:52 Interesting you got the Lightfang, was that rng, cause she had lower health, or since she was farther left? 14:58 😭 Good run

[@halfmoon24641]

Lmao that Tidehunter thing happens to Kripp all the time. He gets countered every time

[@uselessfacts3652]

Hey my favorite KZbinr is back!

[@richardjones8846]

this is why i love rafaam. the real counterplay to a champion

[@TheDeatheater3]

My favorite thing is playing around this card and countering by playing it. Sometimes I wait until the very last moment to use it 1v1. I even blindly sometimes play around it and players get confused how did I know that they would use it. When you play deamons with juggler or deathrattles it is essential to have a play around this card because you instantly lose otherwise. And when you play against these 2 comps sometimes this card is your only chance of survival.

[@deadsince1996]

Kripp looking like Will Smith and Ice Poseidon's long lost son in this thumbnail

[@b0p0da41]

1:34 lol

[@CoachJohnMcGuirk]

I got obliterated in a 1v1 against this guy who had nuts murlocs and he destroyed me. The comp was unbeatable with my menagerie build and so after he popped my ice block I got a 2nd ice block and over two turns sold my entire board and replaced it with a mirrored board of divine shield poisonous murlocs. Won the game. Thanks ice block.

200 IQ Daryl hard counters Kripp

[@DennGreenIII]

Well that's why I've been telling people for years that Zapp Slywick is easily the 10th best hero in the entire game

[@blasvillanueva7195]

“are you guys simple?” Lol

Krip: [plays Zapp Slywick against Patchwerk] Patchwerk: "Now looks like a good time to transition into Mama Bear + Baron Rivendare." 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@fedorkochemasov4533]

Zapp + Edwin = nearly unstoppable helicopter

[@Uberwenis]

"He's AFK!" Kripp completely ignored the fuckin "Gotcha bitch!" emote from Daryl

[@lucasnadamas9317]

That last guy did the opposite of playing around your zapp

[@Lightn0x]

Single Zapp is kinda weak, triple Zapp is really nice though. Also pretty good with Edwin, since you can buff it.

[@outplay3759]

Does this look like a weak minion to you? I think its a perfect showcase how OP that card is vs combo specs.

[@Madmuli]

Can be done with Sylvanas too, but Edwin is definitely the better one

[@PokeMultiverse]

i love zapp as a "tech" when i see rivendare or mama bear

What an incredible thumbnail

[@FacterinoCommenterino]

Today's fact: George Clooney did the voice for 'Sparky', a gay dog in South Park.

[@moosegoose3159]

And Jay Leno voices Cartman's cat. The reason for this is Matt and Trey (the creators of South Park) basically call celebrities bluff when they say "we are fans of the show". If they are such big fans, it doesn't matter who or what they voice. In this case, it's just barks and meowing.

[@Tsiriasmenos]

Not surprised... He was a major driving force to getting the show on the air in the first place coz he loved the pilot so much... Cool fact nonetheless!!

[@devinmann3034]

He keeps saying they should've played around zapp, but its not like you can really buff the attack of your rivendare. So what do you expect them to do?

[@Cuestrupaster]

Why was that Sylvannas with 2 Spawns of N'Zoth in the field?

[@_erkku]

Kripp always tyrannosaurus rekts everyone

[@scopetoxn]

Why didn't you get a card when you killed the Battlecry cat, is it because it was a summoned version of the 3 cats and there is no basic version of it that exists? That's unusual. You did hero power.

[@Senko13th]

Hah love the thumbnail

[@nathanseffernick4667]

Good tech card but in divine shield poisonous murloc meta it's rare to be great these days.

[@kickingthedog8788]

Why did you NOT call the video Zappsassin. It has a double consonant and everything. *In Mortal Kombat voice* You've been ZAPPSASSINATED! ZAPPTALITY!

[@colossaldonut5190]

RAFAAAAAAM THE SUPREME MECHANIC!

[@NatePrawdzik]

You can feel this is early because he makes a lot of decisions that he would do differently given experienced skill.

[@zacharynyberg7007]

here i am..climbing in the mid 5k's... and meanwhile in the 7.6k-8k's no one knows of zap/ how to properly change up... Well this shouldnt be too hard to hit those rankings.

[@Rogus27]

Sure except you’ll see a baron build make top 4 like 1/10 games otherwise is murlocs murlocs menagerie and more murlocs then Zapps trash.

[@TheCotzi]

Zapp is in my Opinion the first Resean to go to 6 to fuck up there deathrattle combos and shit

[@theshadynorwegian6036]

To be fair, to hard counter zapp, maexna works pretty good. Just play it before the mama bear

[@99Etien]

TheShadynorwegian there is no piont in playing it before mama bear. It alleays attacks the lowest attack minion. If they have the same its pure RNG

[@theshadynorwegian6036]

Etien if you play maexxna after mama bear, it has 6 attack... mama bear has 4. What makes it better is that maexxna will always kill the sniper and survive with one hp, so having it as the lowest attack target works out well The exception being if the opponent can buff zapp. Then he'll still die, but might kill the maexxna

[@lkjkhfggd]

I'm curious why Kripp is having so much success with Rafaam. Every time I pick him, it just gives trash tokens and homonculus's.

[@mikejunt]

How often does Kripp even use the minion he got in the next round? At a minimum it is '1 gold: save 1 gold for a future turn'. When you get something good 15% of the time or whatever it's just gold; in it's worst-case scenario, it's a coin. And it should always get you lots of the things people put taunts on or put first in their lineups (like spawn or the wolf)

[@Elia1988seoul]

Omfg. This game killed me from the start

[@jaygrayson6230]

In one of your other videos you literally called this card trash 😂

[@onosaileota9999]

[@leodavinci9682]

wtf, The Punisher is anything, but AN ASSASSIN?? He shoots down the front door, spits some shit towards 10 people who will shoot, stab and almost kill him in any way AND THEN he will kill every single one of them even tho he suffered from 3 billion injuries.

[@MidnightBloomDev]

What is this? A game I used to play of some sort?

[@PenguinWithInternetAccess]

Yeah it's that game battlegrounds I think it also has another mode, a sort of MTG, but I forgot

[@yazunhc]

As much as I can't stand IcePiss, why does Krip look so much like Ice Poseidon in the thumbnail.

[@GoogleyMoogley]

And then you realize why no one gives a shit about Zapp: because literally everyone is going for poisonous divine shield high health low attack murlocs as their lategame build and zapp just becomes a glorified divine shield remover that probably lost you the game since you wasted money going to 6.

[@bioswat96]

Still don't get why make 4-4 a taunt? To pop it with 3-6 every time instead of any other good minion?

[@ambrose1724]

The Cobalts get value with every mech that spawns, and the taunted sensei chump blocks the cleaves to keep the divine shields on. He was maximizing divine shield value - it doesn't matter how much hits you respawn with the 3/6's deathrattle when you can keep your main damage dealers hitting. You could make the argument for stats over shields when there isn't much poison running around, but he isn't just being an idiot.

[@ambrose1724]

Also, "other good minion" is dubious when those cobalts would come back as 6/3s, occasionally with a shield. I'd pick 20+/20+ with guaranteed divine shield over that any time. I could go back to the video and check if he had a chance to pick up a Sneeds and some way to give it taunt to switch out the sensei with after its buff outlived its use, but I wouldn't fault him not thinking of that, especially after the sensei got buffed quite a bit.
