Firebat's Stupid Plan Against All Odds

[@nefariousnilbog]

That was fucking brilliant. Maybe my favourite video of yours, just insane planning. World champion plays.

[@cityuser]

"We only need 1 life, right?"

[@brian3075]

That's the world champ for you. Awsome game man.

[@ARaider510]

apparently late game warlock mirror matches turned into pre-razakus priest mirror match where it was nothing but hero power pass until somebody has a playable card.

[@kira84]

i thought i just watched a yugioh episode, what a game

[@ConsoleCleric]

Achievement Unlocked: Near Death Experiences

[@nexalacer]

Best game you’ve posted. That was nuts.

[@russianbot2179]

Amazing game. 10/10. I won 3 games with aggro during this video.

[@itsneight1260]

but your aggro games were boring, shitty, and no one cared about them. Probably not even you.

[@SoulAcid1]

And he loses 3 more - all in the same time! (if it's a ~50% winrate)

[@GrimmerPl]

Damn, that was a high skilled game. Well played!

[@MastaSensi]

Firebat has won 100% of the games he's had his cat in the background. Coincidence? Probably.

[@jimmcphearson7252]

Firecat has given his blessing

[@user-zg3gh8xg9v]

And that's why he's world champion. Well played Sir, wp !

[@saskiauludag2921]

Never realized the mountain giant was chill-sitting until I saw the thumbnail

[@Savvington_]

I never realized he was chill sitting until I saw this comment

[@minifatben]

Okay that was legit sick

[@muchmoonies]

He couldn't get the full combo till he drew his last card in his deck, but he still pulled it off. This is true world champion foresight, even if he can't calculate complex defiles in 10 s

[@thebananamonk]

Don't need complex calculations if you just play psychic scream *taps head*

[@betterbelle29]

Michael Moonie don't need to calculate defiles if you play twisting nether *taps head*

[@princevegeta6694]

Yeah man I mean that was just fucking crazy. It was like the game tried to do everything possible to make you lose that match and you still won ... well played man, your thought processing and timing on when to play your cards is second to none.

[@Rave.-]

*Talks about coil* *Looks at Doomguard* "How do we get a 6"

[@warptens5652]

coil on doomguard doesn't make sense, he needs the coil to make a 5 from a voidlord

[@AlexanderQ689]

The other Voidlord was already a 6, coil on the first would have worked.

[@ardaorhan]

Yeah that's the only "misplay" I caught. He could've kept a defile for a coil, which is almost always a good thing. Especially if you're in the danger of fatigueing out. He made some sick calls though.

[@Blue-jy4sq]

luckily he didnt see it. if he did, he wouldnt have had enough cards at the end to play the giants and win

[@Revinance88]

Fantastic game. Plays like that are why Firebat was world champion.

[@warptens5652]

8:20 you just need to coil one voidlord and everything dies to defile. the doomguard does the 1 the coiled voidlord does the 2 the other voidlord does the 3 the allied doomguard does the 4 the coiled voidlord does the 5 the other voidlord does the 6

[@jaegybomb]

The 2nd defile also set it up and no matter which was used the other would have ended up sitting in his hand to discount the giants for the rest of the game.

[@xBrayJay]

Matt Jaeger well clearing with one defile is always gonna be better than using both, so still kind of a misplay. But it’s easy to call something a misplay from the comment section, and the rest of the game was played very well.

[@jaegybomb]

I wouldn't say always. I bet there are cases where having a coil in hand might be better than having the 2nd defile.

[@LFielding07]

Matt Jaeger In the warlock mirror though? That match is won and lost on setting up big defile chains, it's the more valuable card of the 2

[@jaegybomb]

What about when say the only creatures left in either deck are giants and librarians and you are racing the other guy to get your giants online? General rules are great but each situation is unique as well.

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

1:14 Firecat spotted

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

13:51 anyone else hoping a defender of argus appeared?

[@Abrazare]

You're my hero!

[@naviscript2655]

This was such a skilled game, dude.

[@praiex7398]

Thats some world champion plays

[@nickmagrick7702]

wow that was one of the best played games ive ever seen. Pulling it out of your ass.

[@rawb]

wow! this was an amazing game. I honestly would of conceded far before you came back!

[@eeleye906]

BruceWillakers psst i watched you way back on pauses channel doing ttt and now im nostalgic

[@rndmsfr]

Wooow I keep forgetting you're a hearthstone fan too Thank you for all the wonder TTT and Urealms videos bruce!!

[@dflameX]

Love you Rawb!

[@restlessfrager]

Would have*

[@MASTERHAENIR]

FUCKING CANCERS

[@JarrettMvM]

you played that so well holy shit

[@JulienRoigHerr]

firebat is an actual god

[@MrHeatsetfreak]

I imagine it must have been SOOOO satisfying tu win that game .

[@MasterOfInfinity]

Damn, you’re so good Firebat. That was such a skill intensive game.

[@flyingmysticaldj]

Damn, that’s some next level playing. Firebat got skillz

[@claudioabl]

glad to see your in shape Firebat, nicely done

[@dinospumoni663]

What brilliant play from Firebat. I'm pretty good at this game and I'm pretty sure I would have lost.

[@ennead322]

Me as well, but it really looked like he fucked up with cubing his Giant.

[@Alexilbello1993]

He played well and he gets his opportunity

[@victorAPR96]

I like the warlock mirror vids, It actually has decision making and every game feels different.

[@Monjijii]

I feel like most people loose in the late game because they play cards.

[@realswane2697]

It's generally so fucking slow and boring? Fuck it actually makes me miserable watching 2 people play fifty taunts then both clear those fifty taunts with one card.

[@noneofyourbusiness4294]

ItzSwane well, those slow games are more interesting to watch, than facedecks. I'm not complaining about facedecks, they're a quick way to grind, but they just aren't fun to watch

[@realswane2697]

Slower decks are fine. Not fucking press 1 spell. Clear a board. That shits just fucking boring. Repetitive and shit meta.

[@snake2250]

The only way that guy loses is by cubing his giant, triggered.

[@robins3462]

Firebat + stupidplan? Let's watch to see if his plan is really that bad. Edit: The plan was pretty crazy but hey, it ain't stupid if it works!

[@lanssstrongarm6845]

Idk My name Bet it is

[@cmxpiipl]

Damn I cracked at 6:47. Gj editor

[@deadnamedeadnameson6391]

1:14 cat spotted

[@muhammedozcan2821]

8:12 hero power doomguard +coil voidlord + play mistress of mixtures + defile = clear board

[@vkvk24]

Muhammed Özcan just coil voidlord and defile is a clear. play mistress before defile for heal, if that's necessary at all

[@damianbeben6510]

doesnt even have to play mistress to clear

[@warptens5652]

coil + defile = clear

[@firedrake110]

5:30 Firebat, the only doom guards he has left are from his Gul'dan, he lost one in that nether and played the other on 5 trying to steamroll you, don't do math based on him having 3 doomguards base in his deck lol

[@Nartorz]

@Firebat 8:06 Cast coil on a Voidlord then defile = full clear 1: doomguard; 2: coil'd Voidlord; 3: Voidlord; 4: ur Doomguard; 5: 1/3 from coil'd Voidlord; 6: 1/3 from other Voidlord; 7: the 2 last doomguards. So you could hero power face and keep your 2nd defile! (and play your 2/2 for 4 healing of course)

[@mcfam8657]

This guy seems ok

[@matasremeika4007]

to make a 5 at that board situation 9:00 you needed to mortal coil a 3/3 void lord so it becomes 3/2 and because it drops 1/3 you get a 5

[@quangtuantran7181]

true, it was bugging me so much, he counted the 2 void lords as two 6s, why cant u coil it and make it a 5 :v

[@restlessfrager]

Voidlord defiles become rather simple when you realize that voidlords are just two numbers, their current HP and +3.

[@fred8221]

wow god like skills

[@cube130]

at 8:30, mortal coil one voidlord and throw down defile can be a full clear.. heres a tip in mirror, count voidlord as its hp and its hp+3. a 3/2 voidlord acts both as a 2 health minion and a 5 health minion. firebat did a small misplay but its fine. Great game still.

[@NicoMontu]

5:30 playing around third doomguard lol

[@edemundomartins7560]

He was playing around the the doomguard that would come with guldan

[@NicoMontu]

Victor Martins Nope, he was playing around a New doomguard from the weapon that could let him play the combo

[@gudebro2000]

1:15 CAT

[@rat488]

I don't care what people think this deck is cool. Yeah it kills so many decks just automatically but really this deck is a beauty it can play so many different kinds of games based on match ups this kind of deck only comes around once in a blue moon appreciate it.

[@mosabmousa1673]

rat488 yeah this deck is definitely fun to play. People just hate on anything that's meta. Probably the most fun deck warlock had got in a while.

[@ridwanurrahman1967]

Exactly!! This is so much better than the other meta decks that existed and people automatically call it cancer :s

[@BryanTerran]

A deck can be cool in a vacuum and also still make for a bad overall meta - or at least that's the case in a world where Blizzard is against buffs. If Blizzard would take a second look at some other control decks that just can't stack up in a world of Cubelocks than maybe they could build a healthier meta while still keeping Cubelock entirely intact.

[@ExtraDip613]

this deck is absolute bullshit. ruins the whole game and really not fun to play against. just nerf it pls

[@DinoBat]

Literally any deck can be unfun to play against, and although it does have a pretty low skill floor, the skill ceiling is very high. Blizzard needs to make more decks where there is a high skill ceiling, it makes for interesting gameplay.

[@1Crivella]

8:29 i mean just coil one voidlord and defile for clear

[@dodde216]

correct

[@TLV_Enjoyer]

You mean Coil one of his Doomguards, not Voidlord?

[@TLV_Enjoyer]

Yeah, I messed up the timing a little bit and had the situation in my mind when Firebat already ate one of the Voidlords (8:40). --You still play your Mistress, but then you coil one of the Doomguards so you don't have to waste another Defile.-- Oh wait, that's wrong. For some reason I thought both of his opponents Doomguards had 6 hp or something. Though I'd still agree that it would be better eating his face, coiling one Voidlord and still playing the Mistress to get extra heals just to be more safe.

[@strahlungsopfer]

Well played!

[@MarquesAllenJones]

sure got a lot of ppl with inappropriate names that wanna be your friend

[@ComfortableTool86]

holy fucking shit that was well played. If I played that exact game 50 times I don't think i could have played it that well.

[@solarka6212]

Please don't throw another warlock mirror FeelsBadMan

[@xCrystal03]

I always thought mountain giant was standing up in the art

[@Bjswac]

5:21 *AfricanNIGGA has sent you a friend invite*

He knows da wae.

[@Vessy95gg]

[@diamonddave4372]

anyone else noticed this dude gets in to spectate at 10:11 and then he sees whats happening like nah fuck this shit leaves at 10:50 lmao

[@Ravi-bk3ee]

5:19 firebat becomes british

[@thebananamonk]

Mountain giant is really... Short...

[@ardaorhan]

Masterful playing Firebat!

[@itsneight1260]

How........ the........ fuck. I was like there's no way he's coming back and winning this. Incredible incredible game @Firebat.

[@silenux7419]

You deserve a break after this.

[@FrontierChampion]

The opponent just shat himself. He had no contingency against prince 3 on his cube and all but smorc dmg and no way to deal with board

[@caelis1982]

he would've won if he played the cube and then prince 3 it, so just bad play on his end. When your enemy is at such low health you play whatever you can. He know that the other player has giants so it is just risky to wait that out, he also knew that he didn't use his spellstones so just bad playing from the other player.

[@saki3457]

Opponent didnt have mana for taldaram after firebat played giant, check again. Unless you mean he should have played those earlier, which again is not possible as giant would have been more expensive and everyone plays one twisting in cubelock, except firebat. So he was playing safe and didnt know that firebat doesnt run nether.(If he played the giant earlier he would have missed on the ping making firebat last longer in case he did have twisting

[@FrontierChampion]

I'd probably say opponent should just have focused on clearing those 2 giants, Firebat was 2 cards ahead in fatigue with those 2 last threats on board, he didn't need to smorc. I would have played giant, prince 3 and either hero power 1 of firebats giants.

[@osmium6832]

Very impressive game! I would have tried something desperate like using Prince 3 on my mistress of mixtures just to get more health and missed the opportunity to copy his cube.

[@anselz2172]

nooooo.... easy defile @ 8:28 for full clear (with 1 defile) coil 1 of the void lords play the mistress of mixtures and defile that board. (1)from doom guard at 1 heath (2) from mistress^ or from the void lord you just coiled (3) from void lords (4) from your doom guard (5) from the void lords spawns that you coiled (6) from the void lord you didn't coil then (7)

[@TheSupasized]

That game was incredible.

[@daviddavidson5797]

The plays

[@aikenumholtz3539]

Warlock just seems so mind-numbing. That was a nice little victory there, though, well played.

[@DMSFister]

Huh

[@MrBanarium]

This title is *not* a joke about Firebat playing against a lot of odd decks. This is... this is just sad.

[@BigFlexLuthor]

That was wild

[@MrTotalRandomnesss]

Garland Riley No it was standard.

[@doctorx5613]

IT'S A DOUBLE MEANING JOKE! IT'S A JOKE, AND IT HAS A DOUBLE MEANING, YOU SEE

[@MikoHecate]

That was pretty standard for firebat

[@DanielGN07]

you had a 6... hitting the coil to one of the Doomguards

[@LB-uw5cy]

No 5

[@xBrayJay]

Daniel Gonzalez he had full clear with coil defile as he also had 6 with a 3 health voidlord and coil on the other 3 hp voidlord.

[@xBrayJay]

Luke Brown71 has a 5 if he coils one of the voidlords at 3

[@driden1987]

That’s why he’s the champ. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@dudewhoisnotfunny]

@ 5:27 didnt he already play 2 doom guards so you could have tapped

[@Death-by-Stereo82]

Wow,what a Game Bro. What a Play! Nice

[@MartyMeganium]

Decisions in Hearthstone OmegaLUL

[@mikelezhnin8601]

At moments like this I feel the lack of PogChamp emote on KZbin.

[@jundachen9518]

Ahhh so close to making the right play... the coil would have made the 5 and gotten the perfect defile...

[@PurpleViking221]

That was sick

[@heypeak7888]

Got em

[@iAmExPLiZiT]

How?

[@kingofsiamgt]

Wonder if he's ever considered subbing in a sanguine reveler.

[@strahlungsopfer]

Keith Hough for what? Dark Pact is more versatile

[@RmZD]

see tap kills you. and enemies kill you. dark pact un-kills you. being not killed is the point of the game. also board space issues are possible.

[@jameskostesich212]

Good tech if playing vs many skulking decks. Or vs all skulking lineup.

[@strahlungsopfer]

now that's overly cautious. i mean geist only interferes with pact if they coin it out, otherwise you always pull it off before they get the chance. and in later stages of the game you still have defile, hellfire and spellstone as activators, so i really don't see a point in that

[@brizwaldjonson]

great game

[@sigurdvj1274]

Was that a mistake by the opponent to Cube his own Giant? What would've happened if Firebat didn't get to Taldaram that cube.

[@yandrosyoutube]

Sigurd VJ in hindsight it definitely looks like one, but it wasn't easy to see. A strictly better play than his was to taldaram an enemy giant and cube it, but he also would have lost anyways. The only play that might have given him the win was to cube and mountain giant (no hero power then) for maximum board. Firebat would have won control of the board but maybe wouldn't had been able to pressure enough face damage before dying to fatigue.

[@tinss619]

I don't think his opponent was playing around taldaram, lol but either way i'm sure he was doing what he felt was right towards putting out the most damage he could in 1 turn, granted that guy was rank 63 legend, so he probably had a game plan

[@DaFieFie]

No. He needed to dark pact instead of hero power. Right play, wrong execution. He didn't recognize that Firebat had no minions left. Good deck tracking would have won him the game. If he removed Firebat's board he won every time, but he got greedy.

[@yandrosyoutube]

Phi A. So optimal play was taldaram, cube it, and dark pact it. Next turn giant and hero power

[@DaFieFie]

yandros3000 No. Same play, just pact instead of hero power. So then he contests Firebat's two giants and firebat only has minions that will die to a single ping and is deeper in fatigue.

[@keithaments]

Zamos couldn’t actually do 17 on turn 10 because all doomguards have been pulled from his deck so the skull pulls voidlord all the time Missed tap

[@NooobLP]

he did end up at 1 hp for a long time though :P worked out rather well in the end i suppose

[@ComfortableTool86]

but if he had tapped on that turn then he wouldn't have played librarian later, so he'd still be at 1hp, right?

[@4lexXx]

Fuck! That was insane

[@remyllebeau77]

Why isn't there an achievement and reward for winning games after you went to one health?

[@aajjeee]

because there are no achievements

[@Yoshi_green]

Why isn't there an achievement -and reward for winning games after you went to one health?- system? ftfy

[@davidward1661]

something something small indie company?

[@saskiauludag2921]

There are achievements. Just google them, they are secret

[@noneofyourbusiness4294]

Saskia & Uludağ I guess they mean an achievement system as there is in WoW. Those secret achievements kinda are hidden quests

[@PokerJoker811]

Can we take a moment to note how stubby Mountain Giant's legs are?

[@blahthebiste7924]

When do we even see his legs?

[@PokerJoker811]

The thumbnail of this video was honestly my first time.

[@noahduncan126]

Well, he’s sitting cross-legged, so it’s kind of hard to tell, but they look pretty evenly-proportionate

[@Ghostone11]

Firebat your insane GG

[@Abidon88]

John Stamos Kappa

[@Ves189]

well played

[@gravemanbob]

Damn you're insane dude

[@swelch2661]

wow good win

[@StevenKeen211]

8:08 hit one doomguard with power, other with coil play mistress then defile.

[@joonbang2480]

Could just Mortal Coil a Voidlord, then Defile. That way, you can play Mistress on an empty board or choose to keep it in hand, can Hero Power enemy face to pressure 3 more damage, etc.

[@clanscag]

I miss you bro! Hope you are well.

[@Stromraider0rouge]

Warlock miracle

[@eamonmahoney9253]

Um yes

[@ReploidWars]

Pro plays

[@srincrivel1]

9:00 -- I don't know how better this is, but instead of using two defiles, you could have obtained a six and a five by using taldaran on his voidlord + coiling one of them, but yeah, probably worth to keep the taldaran edit: Everything I said is bullshit, I will leave this as a reminder or my own stupidity

[@RatsInSpaceSuits]

Or just coil a voidlord and one defile clears

[@srincrivel1]

Goddamn, you're right, I'm a fool!

[@noneofyourbusiness4294]

Bigode Mcbeagles but an honest fool, that's worth something

[@LFielding07]

Toby He also could have mortal coiled his kobold instead of playing the 2nd kobold, which would've kept him off that 1hp edge

[@davidgerco]

You're the best !!

[@ricandadd1]

God

[@uncurlhalo]

That was some legit bullshit, but wow, impressive.

[@LFielding07]

At the end of the game, why not mortal coil the kobold instead of playing the 2nd kobold? He valued the 1 damage ping over the 2 hp, and the coil sat dead in his hand afterwards

[@knewbod]

LFielding07 because it created a 2/1 and he knew he only needed 1 hp, the difference between 1 and 3 hp at that point was nothing. Further, he only wanted to draw cards until his deck ran out and mortal coil can be used as a ping with no draw while kobald librarian becomes a 2/1 take 4 damage

[@c105mik3]

he was upgrading the spellstone.
