What a refreshing way to play hearthstone this is, you don't have to fear dying from 23HP when your opponent has 2 cards and 4 mana

[@drewpeacock9087]

no such thing as only having 2 cards in modern hearthstone :D

[@didinky]

and then you queue up vs dragon warrior 20 times in a row . Refreshing indeed.

[@terribletrivium]

I'm sure these buffs happened ages ago but it still gives me pause when I see a 2/3 dark peddler and a 1/4 acolyte of pain. It feels overpowered even tho I've seen chump as a demon hunter play a 5/4 on turn 2.

[@mihaimorar2043]

Those were actually both in the Caverns of Time update last expansion, so really not that long ago

[@paperknigth2263]

It's kinda funny cause they buffed Dark Peddler *right after* they print Suspicious Peddler and the only miserable argument to justify Suspicious Peddler whole existence was that at least has better stats than Dark Peddler.

[@visoth7791]

You think a 5/4 on turn 2 is bad? My friend, I'm guessing you have not seen Trump play a Chillwind Yeti on turn 1 back when the game was still new.

[@halloni]

@@visoth7791wasnt it played *against* trump?

[@Begeru]

Acolyte of Pain was already in standard right now as a 1/4

[@Skitigdread]

Ah, the classic "bone the mistress"-play

[@PadFeiLong]

You beat me to it

[@HackionSTx]

​@@PadFeiLongyou beat the meat?

[@Smallpriest]

There's also "I do like a mistress" 😂

Pleading to my fellow Chump fans: please, help me find a particular video where he started the intro with "This deck is almost as sick as I am". It was somewhere between 1 and 2 years ago. Can't remember any details, except that his voice sounded drained (since he was actually sick, that's the joke).

[@Cossaw]

25:09 "So I can either BONE MY MISTRRESS...."

[@Kapangdazz]

poorlock content lets goooooooo

[@raviel498]

Seems like an healthy game mode.

[@probablynotmyname8521]

Finally a deck i can afford to play.

[@Satherian]

This twist seems really nice - no insane combos and it feels more like classic HS

[@drewpeacock9087]

The problem is the Caverns of Time and buffed cards make a lot of the old cards irrelevant so it's almost entirely Dragons vs Dragons. That being said I do like the style, just wished the buffs/new cards didn't happen tbh. Buffs couldve been cool to make previously trash cards useable but instead they make cards INSANE, go way overboard. And do it sparingly so only certain cards get the treatment, basically reducing the card pool dramatically.

[@HackionSTx]

​@@drewpeacock9087give them some slack, after all Blizzard is just a small indie company.

[@EpixGaminginc]

​​@@drewpeacock9087Feels like half of hearthstone's design problems rn are from the team being buff happy. Especially since instead of buffing weak cards they keep buffing good cards in bad decks.

[@seallyromeo6733]

Budgetlock! Thanks, Chump! Remember to drink water, everyone :)

[@visoth7791]

And also to bring a towel.

[@partypants5629]

Did not know that your hero says “shuffle off” when you play Mortal Coil. Love me a Shakespeare reference

[@Facepalm9]

This is my favorite format. Don't need a big collection, don't need expensive cards, there's no overtuned and overvalued garbage. It argues the case for a Hearthstone Classic or some kind of reset.

[@kourii]

The issue with Classic is it was solved pretty quickly and not a lot of people played it

[@Narokkurai]

This format legit makes me nostalgic for the days when Turn 4 Hero Power Pass was an acceptable line of play sometimes. The power curve of the whole game has gone into the stratosphere.

[@lilpigboy]

"Without big flashy legendaries, this isn't a super-content worth format" I would disagree personally. This is also great, it's just different. More of a back and forth slug-fest than the heavy dependance on who draws the right legendary at the right time. I love all the Chump content!

[@Begeru]

I modified this deck a bit by adding in Twin Tyrants and Shroom Brewers. I’ve gotten a 10 win streak with it.

[@mykal2803]

I guess the first games warrior deck is popular on twist, ive played against the same thing twice now, and both times I barely pulled it out in the end.

[@drewpeacock9087]

Yes Dragon "control" Warrior is by far the most popular deck in Twist, shit is very powerful.

[@PeterFreshwater]

Thanks for the great video! It's still so strange to me that there is literally no Twist advertising or anything. If you didn't read the patch notes you wouldn't know it was back.

[@xsas8731]

Ngl I forgot Twist came back this month. Might give it another try

[@inwiasdf]

[@Jeefk0]

4:08 I found it funny

[@xzalean]

thanks. now everyone is playing this exact deck

[@drewpeacock9087]

Nope everybody is playing the warrior shit still

[@takdraw3394]

Thanks for showcasing the game mode, but I will not be playing it myself.

[@TerryDax]

With how degenerate standard has become, I'm seriously considering switching over the twist format. Decks like these are one of the reasons why. When was the last time in hearthstone where you could make a budget control deck and have it be good?

[@sallomon2357]

It is sadly dominated by Dragon decks, but the speed of the format seems perfect, if a bit on the slower side.

[@Begeru]

Dragon warrior gets boring to fight pretty quickly

[@Tymon0000]

pauper came to HS, what a twist!

[@vonBelfry]

I reckon twist should just have a bunch of these formats in a list. Pauper, some sort of Commander-like long-game-big-deck format... You know, keep the game fresh.

[@fuadjaganjac9193]

if these three games are supposed to illustrate how "surprisingly good" the deck is then twist must be a really tough format.

[@ninenineninenine407]

I really wanted to like this mode but less than 24 hours in it was already 80% Dragon Warrior and the other 20% is the exact same dragon shell only with 5 different class cards. Netdeckers ruin everything once again.

[@hausu3163]

netdeckers and tier 1 metaslaves are the cancer of this game and i will keep saying this and they will keep being butthurt at me

[@solar6212]

That's always the case, some people have fun by winning the game some by playing meme decks but the majority is the first type sadly

[@joalex79]

@@hausu3163 gonna cry?

[@Begeru]

The dragon package is obviously the strongest in the format so of course everyone would play it.

[@hausu3163]

@Begeru lol the point is not being obvious, we know that people are gonna play the best deck because they are desperate betas trying to win a dying card game with no competitive integrity, the point of his comment is exactly how pathetic that is instead of playing for fun

[@user-gg8et8se2r]

Nice)

[@KhaledIron]

This mode is fun for like 10 games but gets stale instantly

[@eduardocosta9232]

I wanted to be happy, and not die on turn 5 for warlock

[@mrbookends]

After six games in a row against dragon warrior, I don't even care if this deck is good, the format is miserably stale

[@Asubatsu]

I'd play twist, if they gave back the old cards I dusted.

[@drewpeacock9087]

lul

[@MrDNE1000]

lmao wtf is this, arena with constructed decks?

[@polyjackets8659]

So.. standard is so stale that twist was worth the upload?

[@cadavison]

I love Chump but this content is so boring. This format is boring.
