Hearthstone: Boomsday - Control Mill Mage P1

[@SpahSappinMahSentry1]

Giggling Inventor is insane in Control Mage. You can play it anytime and ping your inventor as the Jaina DK to get 2 annoyotrons and a water elemental, which is almost universally obnoxious to deal with.

@einar thor thrastarson A relic of the past

[@JohnOrval]

01:47:00, the most clearly telegraphed Flamestrike I've seen in a LONG time and he just plays right into it.

[@jerodast]

Yeah that actually shocked me. I mean I guess if he has the cards to just flood the board again then he can afford to call a potential bluff.

[@RealityHelix]

Always interesting to hear you talk in the background of other work. Not totally following everything that's going on here, but hey, we're having fun!

[@beemoneyyy]

Hey man I just started playing the game and you're the first "guide" I landed on. Just wanted to say that I really like the way you present your information and explain your cards turn by turn. It really helps me understand the game more. I look forward to watching more of your content.

[@total_dk6517]

Beezus The Nerd Since you're a new player and might not notice some of the key mistakes in Sean's deck building (in my opinion), I'm going to point out a few of them for you to help you learn to build your own deck when you get the collection going (I'd love if everyone played their own decks in hs): - Little to no aggro prevention (The deck does not really do anything early game except for doomsayer which is killed by the pointed out Void Ripper) and there is always a TON of aggressive decks out there. - Research project is just a bad card in control - It draws both players 2 cards, so equal effect, however you have to draw it first which is a draw essentially wasted (you could have drawn one of the cards from playing the spell). This gives you essentially 1 card draw and your opponent 2 (this is called giving your opponent a card advantage of 1) which is worse than not actually playing a card. (That said, if you're playing aggro/midrange you might want it to keep up tempo (probably not anyways - otherwise why not run the murloc that draws instead?) or you might run it to have card draw in your deck, but avoid fatiguing yourself - but in a control deck, it is essential that you don't give your opponent any card advantage. The murloc gives you a small body and the same effect and could therefore be considered, but generally you want better cards.) Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Others - feel free to correct me and/or give additional tips.

[@partyn3verstop1]

Total_DK you suck and every single thing that you said is wrong

[@dandimit5104]

I love how you run through your thought process. I’m subbed now. Thanks for your hard work.

[@vook777]

That Skulking Geist was the BEST: "And it disooooolves.... ?... The Breath of Syndragosa!"

[@twistedpancreas]

loves building control. hates blue in mtg

[@D4rkBabar]

Well at the very least you get to put your card on the battlefield, so that's something.

[@ObsidianKnight90]

Hah, very true. Though, to be fair, Hearthstone Mage control decks are filled with single-target removal and board clears (basically Black colour identity with a little Red and White) while Blue is more about bounce (Vanish, Sap) and counterspelling (which actually fits tempo mage more). Day9's deck is more like Death and Taxes, a monowhite deck, than it is a Blue mill or control deck.

[@AsterDXZ]

Control in general and Blue in MTG are two very different things. Blue is not control, blue is actually cancer, because it has to be to combat the insane cards of MTG.

[@EarthLordCJ]

Day9 is a fan of Black control in MtG. Blue just has all the values he despises wrapped into a single colour. X3

[@KensanOni]

Your home all day. You should just boil your own beans. Grab a bag of black beans. Throw a half a cup in about 4 cups boiling water, in a hour maybe two you’ll have beans, no problem. Skip the soaking. It’s a silly step.

[@EpicFailFTWNR1]

man i allways come back to these geniuse vids for ideas for gameplay :D

[@Ha1cyon00]

I was listening to the video while eating and I heard "Mountain Giant is an elemental" and was like WTF?? Didn't even realize it was an elemental

[@ademparik]

Got changed into elemental in the last update

[@quineloe]

that warrior deck really was just every legendary in the game.

[@Elandrianthetrue]

im sitting here going: "arcane artificer, sean, put them in the deck!" for five minutes until finally he puts them in thanks to chat

[@Pillgrim1981]

aren't you sick of freakin chicken, spinach and black beans by now?

[@majormarketing6552]

Sounds delicious

[@LUNCJunc]

First Game @ 23 mins

[@NunyaBijinesu]

Thanks, literally saved my life.

[@nhagan001]

dear lord. I know he likes to talk, but 23 minutes? insane.

[@explosivecustard9561]

@day9tv so i have been playing starcraft for many years i play terran and i have never really looked at the shop content i said to a friend the other day i love watching day9tv in hearthstone really entertaining and she said you should get his announcer for sc2 i never even knew you had one but im happy to say i purchased it and i love it and you keep up the awesome content take care.

[@gregsmw]

why not questions can be more like suggestive statements though then questions or genuine curious questions "hungry, why not head over to the fridge and grab a bite" its not asking you for reasons not to, its more just saying "go grab a bite to eat" but in a more sort of suggestive way and less outright telling you and to use a hearthstone example "why dont you run card X in that deck" in text it always "sounds" the same, but it can easily be a genuin question, "why arent you running that card" it might genuinly be they dont know why you dont have the card in the deck and want to know the reason "why not run ultimate infestation in mechathundruid" cos its a pretty expensive card that takes a full turn to get rid of and is a pain in the ass to get rid of if its low in the deck, and we already have loads of card draw so we dont need it another facet of the "why not" question is not everyone has all the facts for the thing they are talking about "why not" is a way of sort of hedging, its saying "i think this would work but i dont know 100% do you think it would" in a much quicker way "why not move the shelf a little higher, it looks better there" in response "because some of the books to go on it wont fit then"

[@onethreeify]

31:49 lol u can hear day9s frustration as he says "hit him with that well played". He knows the better player didn't win! Day9 was just trying out a new deck and this guy plays a tempo mage in the first days of a new exp. I can totally understand day9s frustration!

[@TheNaZeus]

>Mill mage >Does not mill waht

[@lazycouch1]

TheNaZeus Decks as hard control as this one commonly stall right until the enemy is milling out. So few draw and so much board wipe.

[@MakiMaki.]

lazycouch1 You confuse Mill with Fatigue. :)

[@lazycouch1]

He also runs the both draw 2 cards effect that burns the enemies cards when they have close to a full hand. That is in hearthstone, 'mill'. Hearthstone mill is dumb and loosely context'd so I wouldn't worry about it.

[@steubenbreunden]

Why are there no more decktaculars?

[@nhagan001]

I still can't believe that blizzard put topsy turvy into priest and then gave them a minion that grants and infinite combo... I mean the concept is so straight forward and it is a very cheap deck to make.

[@WarMage]

Why not Zoidberg?

[@themanhands5599]

2:13:49 that rng!!!

[@alexanderzahariev3463]

How about Archmage Arugal in the deck?

[@partyn3verstop1]

Thank you so much for improving this archetype, I love big swingy Jaina mage but struggled a lot with early boards since I stuck to the dragon’s fury ravens version

[@webbc99]

You're playing Netrunner?! My fav game! You will love Shaper.

[@MolochDE]

Yep had to pause and rewind too, such a great game, hope we can keep it alive a lot longer!

[@Ceractucus]

You have a paladin aggro deck with no 2 drops and no Keleseth?

[@Ceractucus]

NM just realized it was ODD paladin...my bad.

[@Patcherson]

Anyone got the deck code?

[@MakiMaki.]

It's an interesting dilemma ... on the one hand I like to see people tinkering with their own decks and explaining their decisions, but on the other hand it's really painful to watch when said decisions are based on completely wrong or incomplete ideas. xD

[@mcgoo721]

I dont see what the answer is against that card that sets your health to 40.

[@Lewtiii]

Board control

[@Manowar2462]

try alextrassa but board is more important like Lewt sayed, this health brings you nothing if youre in two rounds still dead to board,beware of that seven mana aoe priest aoe spell. hope got it right, search for value. Good thing that priest cant stack their health like warrior would be cancer xD (no refunds or reanswers (its off))

[@emeraldragon1984]

Your explanation of being bad at aggro decks was actually you coming out as a Timmy. It's fine. Don't be ashamed. Be a Timmy.

[@jerodast]

Not an M:tG day goes by without Sean talking about his love of big green men. Of course he's a Timmy :)

[@andrewlaurie3167]

Why does Mage get heals and armour but not rogue neither of theme that way but one does

[@TheGruspastej]

andrew laurie havent heard of spells like "mage armor" i take it?

[@drenz]

AHHHHHHHH PLAYYYYYYGUUUUUUU

[@bsmith3095]

But why not though?

[@mails65]

But you hate blue, yet you cherish control. Makes no sense!

[@mohamedlaidbabelhadj5946]

i just love ur vids mate .

[@QuantumBraced]

I guess we've reached a point in our culture now where the very nature of asking question is considered a passive-aggressive way of putting a "burden" on someone. We've truly reached peak snowflake. I get his point about not using "why not" when you want to make a suggestion -- just make the suggestion instead. But often people are genuinely curious and that's why in language, we have these things called questions. Perfect example was 2:19:18 when a viewer genuinely wanted to know why he wasn't playing glyph with his spare 2 mana and hero powering instead and he tried to phrase it differently, but in the end it was a straightforward "why not" question. And even Day9 accidentally rephrased it that way, ironically while praising him for not saying "why not". Guess why that happened, because there's no other way to ask that.

[@rayedjualidan1504]

First like. Man I can't wait to see your first booms day vid 😅

[@tuantrananh4015]

is he mean mill himseft :D

[@natoito98]

Whyd u eat your booger ar 12:15

[@ertai222]

idk why you use xsplit when obs is free and better, i also don't like how you have golden cards and yet run the non gold versions. so boring -_- ......it's like running non foils in mtg even when you have them.

[@Krowokrad]

Cause he wants consistency

[@charliechapman7156]

Like the first comment, but with more sexual tension

[@umaroxp5207]

You're looking slightly less unhealthy than you used to. Good job.

[@sephapplewhite8477]

UmaroXP That's a very backhanded compliment

[@umaroxp5207]

That is correct. It's called humor.

[@Lewtiii]

@@umaroxp5207 I thought humor was supposed to be at least mildly comedic?

[@adomaster123]

Lewt it is comedic. What was the point of this comment. DONT YOU DARE SAY HUMOR.
