(Hearthstone) Deathstalker Rexxar: The One Card Deck

[@Mysterialic]

One of the best cards in the game, hands down.

[@GingerNinja303]

Syafiq Razip I have to disagree with you. That fact that a single card can turn a tempo deck into a near infinite resource deck is unhealthy and unfun to play against.

[@akhsdenlew1861]

+Jacob Burton better than having every hunter deck suck. Before rexxar, all hunters were useless. Except hard aggro hunters, those were good for the first 5 turns, and then they were also useless. Hunter's biggest problem was his hero power. Very bad hero power that suits only hard aggro decks. That's a very bad limitation of the class.. it makes it boring, unfun , uncompetitive with very limited design space. All these were solved by rexxar.. Is it an OP card? Definetly And if that card was in another class it would break the game. But hunter needed an OP card like this.

[@Jerdor46]

I think that has more to do with the class design if anything. The fact that Hunter 'needs' one of the most powerful cards in the game just to function is indicative of bad design. The same can be said about a lot of the Hero cards. Hunter was a class designed originally for aggression yet they seem adamant about straying away from that. That's why the class generally feels so weak. Aggressive decks can be very interesting just look at most variants of zoolock throughout this games history - Prince 2. It can be done they just don't want to.

[@okapops]

Jerdor46 but the other classes had options, it would be stupid to have a class that literally can only play one style. I agree that a lot of it os the design’s fault, but that’s exactly why it should be tuned, not just “ok, our bad, class sucks, just play the other ones”

[@epicbastard1]

akhs denlew Midrange hunter can probably make a comeback after all the bullshit healing cards from kobolds rotate. Right now the hero power is useless.

[@pushinp157]

Nah the meta is very Aggro centric rn, Games only last long against Big spell mage, Rexar Decks,Druids, and Warriors. ONly a few decks and Warrior is the only class that doesnt have a aggressive version.

[@Akario3]

warrior has rush which is aggro arguably

[@busTedOaS]

rush is for board control not aggro

[@Ta123Di]

Use go face deck or murloc hehe

[@ramonestefano]

The music you add to the videos makes the battle so much more epic.

[@randyb.k.4018]

This meta is fantastic. I haven’t seen a ‘top tier’ deck played back to back to back like Shudderwock. I’ve seen so many cool and interesting ideas and a lot of then actually work. It’s been so diverse and it’s awesome. And I’m sure a few weeks before the new expansion it’ll be Heal Lock or Odd Paladin all over agin but for now, it’s pretty great.

[@phierle1061]

And Druids for one aren't annoying as hell, while every top tier druid deck is the same with different core cards, it's still not infuriatig to play against since there's Mossy horror and Geist. (Me being a Druid aswell)

[@epicbastard1]

It's good meta for control players. For midrange it's hell. Then again, there haven't been good midrange decks since ungoro.

Huh, didn’t know that. If Cave Hydra has lifesteal, it heals you with your own health when it damages you. The more you know

[@jiechengchen3523]

Bittertide* isn’t the cave hydra the one that also damages adjacent minions they attack? That’s also good for lifesteal btw

[@Croutonking65]

Xueyan Chen oh you are correct. My bad

[@confushisushi]

Yes, when something has lifesteal or poisonous, it is applied to all damage it does, even if it's not strictly an attack (like bloatbat's aoe and in this case hydra's damage to your hero)

[@queendread4427]

Yeah and so the downside to Hydra really isnt relevant anymore and it's just insane.

[@TheSquareOnes]

Very important to know if you're about to volcano one of those hydras for "lethal," I'm sure many people have thrown games that way.

[@MASTERHAENIR]

Next year, i believe the Baku/Genn decks will become powerful because of the rotation of the Death Knights. The most powerful ones are, for sure, Rexxar and Gul'dan.

[@TheLineagEman]

[@joshburns1777]

I hope you're trolling because that sounds like the worst possible idea for a deck.

[@shadowclaw7778]

Josh Burns It used be done in KOFT with Rogue, rogue usually just played 1-drops Keleseth and the 4/4 Lifesteal Prince, the 3/3 faceless manipulator in that deck is meh though

[@joshburns1777]

I know prince 4 had its time in rogue but I can't remember ever hearing about or seeing prince 4 and 2 in the same deck. That sounds bad to me, but you may have seen it.

[@shypeOW]

Is the deck worth playing w/o subject 9 ?

[@MrStealthWarrior]

He drew it as one of the last cards and didn't play it at all...

[@shypeOW]

@@MrStealthWarrior But he had rexxar on 6

[@VictusBcb]

I imagine if you wanted to play hard against control decks that last this long, could put in Dire Frenzy instead of Subject 9. Especially if you find yourself a really solid zombeast to drop it on.

[@akhsdenlew1861]

Subject 9 is good in this deck. just not good against baku warrior.

I have a question for the HS community, after complaining about Pirate Warrior, Murloc Warleader and Call to Arms when we were given neutral taunts and classed boardclears, is having decks stack 100+ armor like Odd Warrior and the 3 tier 1 variants of Druid more interesting? I feel as if victories take forever now and it drains me. I still make my legend climb but it's taxing.

[@Lookattheworldaroundyou]

i wish i could get into that post lvl 15 meta. im stuck in the 20 to 15 range which is just priest mechathun, rogue/druid malygos, and sorcerers apprentice Archmage Antonidas mage. boo

[@shivdmanwii]

if you're stuck in that range it's because of your play rather than the decks you are facing.

[@drunyon214]

One card from Kibler just beat 30 from his opponent. No other card of Kibler's mattered. None of his opponent's cards mattered, because they couldn't beat Rexxar. If Rexxar had been the last card in Kibler's deck, he guaranteed loses, but it was in his opener, so he was basically guaranteed to win. How do people actually like this stuff? That's such horrific game design. If one card can single-handedly beat 30 of your opponents' cards, you have a huge problem with game balance. The game is often entirely determined by whether you draw Rexxar early enough, and that's the case for other Hero cards like Jaina and Dr. Boom, as well. The Hero cards are so badly designed, it's ridiculous.

[@Akario3]

its more of a '"99% of hunters cards are aggro focused and are immidietly shut down by any of the op healing/armor gain cards in the game and the countless removal" kind of problem rexxar makes you go MUCH slower but gives value and options,its arguably very fun to play AS rexxar but i agree that its bad design in terms of its sackiness(aka you draw it you win,you dont you lose)

[@tuantrananh4015]

You much really hate rexxar to text that much but really most of the deathknight is bust

[@stevefoxrox]

Dr Boom isn't nearly as OP as Rexxar, Jaina and Guldan

[@drunyon214]

No, Boom isn't, but Gul'Dan doesn't draw as much of his power from getting a hero power turn after turn-- he gets more of his power from the Battlecry, while Rexxar, Jaina, and Dr. Boom don't. So Rexxar, Jaina, and Boom, in particular, are inherently different and inherently promote more draw variance because they fundamentally change the game based when they are drawn and played, while Gul'Dan often doesn't even get played right away when drawn if enough demons haven't died yet.

[@TheSquareOnes]

Yeah, although I think it's more of an issue with the lack of interactivity with both legendaries and hero powers. Since you can't put in duplicates or tutor out the one copy you have (barring specific cases of course) legendary cards by their very nature amplify the draw RNG of the game to its absolute extremes, which feels bad for the player using them. Then since they practically refuse to print any sort of lasting (read: useful enough to actually use) hero power interaction the opponent has to real way to stop them from doing whatever they do every single turn, which feels bad for them. The solution to this kind of problem is more interaction on both sides. That way both players feel like they can meaningfully influence the outcome of the match and have more key decisions along the way. It's kind of weird since it's asking for power creep to balance out the power creep that just happened but the randomness of the game is far more frustrating than the power level at the moment in my opinion, I'd be fine with decks becoming even more monstrously efficient if it means there's more to it than just drawing a hand and hoping it's better than your opponent's hand.

[@playthingz]

@6:20 the opponent takes two extra damage by hitting the wolf instead of Leok. Every little counts.

[@palemoon2271]

Kibler is the type of dude to open packs off camera and get a golden Dr.Boom. Then disenchant it so that he can make a video about trying to get a golden Dr.Boom.

Is it not bad for the game that you can in theory make a deck of one drops plus deathstalker rexxar and still out-value the majority of control decks if you draw Rexxar early enough? Isn't that the definition of a game being decided by draw RNG which is the most frustrating element of this game

[@davenova3505]

Luke Yan not really, he had the game in the bag from the start. silence on dire horn could have been useful but the death knight just creates unstoppable cards anyway. look how many options he had with lifesteal, rush, poisonous, etc

He played into MCT wrongly. Only mistake I noticed.

[@JohnWolf926]

He drew deathknight so he was on auto pilot since it was always gonna be a win

[@tuantrananh4015]

The thing the game pretty much decide when you draw rexxar so i think he just don't care

[@cameronmiller6240]

I think using the silence to get direhorns is clearly optimal but isn’t as important in a matchup when your win condition is eventually overwhelming the opponent with infinite huge threats, the extra dire beast simply buys your opponent one extra turn if the draw it .
