Can I Reach Legend Being Free 2 Play in 24 Hours?

[@hecta14]

the problem of f2p hearthstone is that you start, craft cards for 1 meta deck and then the meta shifts and you are stuck with a deck that is no longer viable. even if you get refunded 1600 dust for a legendary nerf that killed your deck its not enough to make another meta one. the game is just stupidly expensive

[@DrDesk-Desk]

Basically what happened with my warrior deck having 3/5 legendries nerfed in it made the deck very weak

[@flee3898]

True

[@cameronball6964]

And your bound to 1 deck, it sucks wanting to try other decks but not being able to.

[@KJab21512]

Yup. Took it seriously for one meta. Made a sick rogue. Climbed to legend. Then could never play again after having burnt all my dust to make the deck. 😂

[@sujimayne]

The good thing about Hearthstone is that buying into one expansion can be enough to literally play F2P forever from then on. I've done that.

[@youtubehandle102]

300 games of handbuff is unhinged. thanks for going through that for us

[@Peacewind152]

Disenchanting zilliax to craft the boogeymonster physically hurt me

[@seanweb9051]

Zilliax was nerfed so he got a full dust refund. He could then undo crafting boogeymonster to get the dust back and craft Zilliax again. He didn't lose anything

[@SpeakerTerenus]

@@shadowseek27 Well, when I see people playing dumbass cards, it brings a smile to my face every time. I hope to make my opponents laugh when they see me playing the fucking BoOgEyMoNsTeR or other equally nonsense cards.

[@CarbonaraGirl]

being stuck with a deck or a class truly is the experience of free to play hs. I have only invested in the rogue class for the 5 years ive been playing (taking breaks and not a very good player) and in some metas its really hard to have fun cause of this. I wish desenchanting card gives you more than a quarter of their values, its so painful sometimes

[@franklinnartz1381]

That's why I play on both EU and NA, gives me some variation by having a focus on different classes on each one. It goes without saying I usually open the legendaries I need for the other server.

[@a.r.t.8651]

glad to see that HS is now very new player friendly, it used to be it's biggest flaw, i remember my brother hated the game because it was very hard to get a decent deck as a new player and stopped playing props!

[@sujimayne]

And he's not even crafting/disenchanting.

[@lionpower8445]

HS fell off tbh…

[@sleepyguy6948]

I mean this had always been possible, even easy. But you couldn't use any class, it had to be Warlock, hunter, mage, druid anything with cheap aggro tools.

[@PhoenixBladeInfinty]

I think this has been my favorite of your videos. The story line was so good. And to be honest, finding yogg was one of the funniest moments Ive seen in recent time

[@aryase7en460]

Baby wake up raran doing another miserable challenge

[@MackeyD3]

Rarran playing all those games without Yogg will always make me chuckle

[@racal5760]

After long break (since Old Gods) i came back to HS only to get rolled by Ziliax/Reno every game, even though i was playing Plague DK that HS was giving for free. After dusting every other class cards made my weird version of Rainbow Handbuff DK to finally get legend

[@TheSoulDivided]

You know, I'd never really thought about how playing suboptimal versions of a super-popular deck would put you at a disadvantage. Everyone is teching against your strategy, but you don't necessarily have the tools you need to fight back

[@rilleraail]

As someone who has played hearthstone for 4+ years, never been above diamond 3 and has recently been stuck in plat 10. This made me physically ill and i got PTSD from this video. Much love

[@atoucangirl]

basically the challenge i started yesterday by um making an account so far no one's able to deal with my even handlock except plague DKs and 1 paladin so i should be fine also challenge idea: HS but no core set

[@owl80]

Hey Rarran, I've been watching your content for a while, and never really comment on vids or streams, but I just wanted to let you know that this video was so well done. I remember watching the streams for this challenge, and the way you put the whole video together was incredible. Keep up the great work!

[@Zard0n]

What do you mean highest rank is Legend? It's rank 25, you see clearly you don't know what the game is all about. There are 25 ranks and clearly the highest one (25) is the best rank

[@Blackadder75]

I think there is a rank 50 these days

[@jakedanielsen4512]

Man my cousin would insist that higher percentage numbers in Smash meant he was winning and would get really mad when I'd kill him at 98% while I'm at 3% and he just wouldn't accept this

[@CK05374]

Having not played this game for about 9 years now, it's incredible that this is possible now. It's nice to see that the game isn't pure pay to win anymore. Hats off to you sir.

[@k4kadu]

this is literally just Rarrans descent into madness, colorized, but tbf what else did I expect him to post...

[@AdriftForWeeks]

You weren't joking when you said they give you a lot of packs. I recently played for the first time since Witchwood came out and I had like 150 packs to open up, with more following because I was earning achievements while collecting new cards lol.

[@Dopamine_Drop]

This isnt a Cgb video... Please dont disappoint me again, sir.

[@xNFR]

thanks for that vid the quality is just amazing. and im very glad we get alot of free stuff now. those catch up packs are huge.

[@ericmills-pq3yv]

Returned to hearthstone from a nearly 10 year hiatus. Hit legend using that free DK plague deck the game gives returning players this month

[@TheCheatCode]

The cinematics of that last game were actually really good. At first it was a jarring contrast to the rest of the video, but it would unironically be a really good editing style if done for an entire video. In most videos I have to pause each time a card is played to read what it does, but the way you slowed down on the important cards and zoomed in on the hand each time the cards in hand got buffed by your weapon made it very obvious what you were doing throughout the game and what your goal was with each card you played.

[@fosterdombrosky7924]

congrats rarran! what a grind ! love to see it!

[@hungerbunger5985]

Thanks for reminding me a deck doesn't have to be meta to play it. I've went back to my classy mech rogue and I don't care if anyone else is playing it or not. I love that deck

[@joshuaadams5295]

I loved the first like 3 years of hearthstone so much. By far one the best and most fun ive had playing a card game. I main Miracle Rogue and Freeze Mage. Also played Handlock, Control Pries, and Zoo a lot. played the others too but that was my favorites in order. I got Legend a lot but never took it serious after getting legend each month. If I could go back, I would have streamed and took the game more serious in legend rank and try and play events. Just another mistake to add to the mountain of regrets haha.

[@icebergerplays9639]

Yo the paiters virtue eddit was very sick bro

[@byrondejong9872]

I remember playing this F2P on launch and opening the few packs I got just to end up getting Gruul as my first legendary. It was awful back when the best decks like Handlock and Miracle rogue were filled with legendries and epics that you could never have the dust to craft but at least everyone sucked so they lose to your Murloc or Zoo Warlock deck.

[@kasair1197]

[@nightknight5357]

Idea for a simple challenge. You randomly get a class for half a rank with no repeats. So you are forced to play each class for 5 ranks, diamond could be painful though.

[@AnotherFunnyLittleGuy]

Please give the funny editor man a thumbs up for the ending, that was really good :)

[@kfer2129]

Returning player here, haven't got a single catch-up pack, best game I have ever played

[@user-ce9rf3xc4j]

For the record this is the full challenge description: Reach rank Legend as a F2P player within 24 hours of playing without crafting cards but only relying on the cards from the packs given for free or bought with the in-game currency.

[@DenkiRay]

Back when I reached Legend as a F2P player, it was during season 2 (like, literally after the game launched) so most players barely knew how to play and the meta decks were mostly non-existant, so it was very easy to reach it with the most shitty deck. But now... seeing how much free stuff they give you and how basically anyone can make a top tier deck instantly, I really don't know how to feel. It's better for everyone, of course, specially new players, but I also feel is missing the "struggle" of trying to make your cool deck slowly. I guess that's something only people who have been here since beta feel.

[@Blackadder75]

yeah, just like Magic the Gathering. Or Chess.. Or Bridge. Or Texas Hold Em Or any other classic game with some stakes. Those games get min-maxed, nothing you can do about it. I remember the early days of Magic, when some players would refuse to play 'netdecks' I told them to specialize in Limited play (Sealed deck / Draft) because there you can brew all you want. But in constructed you need to know all the meta decks and often play them yourself if you want to get anywhere. Sure pro's come up with original new decks, but that is because they have a team of 10 players, playtesting for weeks. I never was a Seasoned Pro, but I joined such teams occasionally when I was qualified for a big tournament, I know how it works.

[@paranoidmonke]

give your editor a raise! the last game was pure hype

[@Val_1992]

Kudos for this achievement! Now money you saved from not buying packs can be spent on psychiatrist after playing one deck for so many hours. 🤪

[@SkywardSpork]

Rarran: Please anything good Hearthstone: Hunter card

[@lebilliong3428]

back then I had to save up every 10golds just to buy packs to catch up and climb legend. I think it's why heartstone is fun and give people motivation to play. Collecting cards is fun and I don't know why people always complaining about the F2P or P2P part. If you are good engough you can climb to high rank with budget decks, or else just be patient and collect cards until you can craft your favourite legendary. That's the most fun part of the game

idk if I'm not a high enough ranking, but my all plauge death knight deck does not auto lose to warriors, I usually overwhelm them with 2/2's that I turn into 5/2s with rush, or I create a 10/10 that I can create multiple copies off while I flood their deck with plagues and fill mine with free summon on draw undead.

Are there no silence effects any more? Why isn't every deck running a silence?

[@SadToffee]

i've f2ped to legend before, my last climb stopped in diamond because my mid-cost hunter deck wasn't fun to climb with anymore, it's honestly not a bad time to climb f2p but back when I started you usually wouldn't have enough dust or high power meta cards to make a strong enough deck. it seems like that's generally been rectified though.

[@bryantrafton7848]

I’m free to play on Hearthstone. I have not paid for an expansion since 2018. I only play decks I think up myself rather than what’s online. Hearthstone is my primary phone game that I’ll play on down time. Can’t hit legend every month, but can hit legend at least once every 4ish months. A couple expansions ago, I did manage to hit legend 3 months in a row with a secrets mage deck. Currently mage secrets suck. I’d only be willing to actually pay for a future expansion if the Meta changed from everything just being fast paced rush decks to a more strategic decks and having more counter options for board control.
