[@JDarkish]

Best cosplay i've ever seen

[@Oniontears123TNG]

***** Buffalo Bill is afraid of Trump?

[@1999vertigo]

Sexy :D

[@simonamorim6717]

gargoyle is good in druid with mark if nature

[@archmage1999]

Jens, nice.

[@mikehoang31]

damn it i keep moving my mouse over the cards to read the description

[@leunidus]

Thanks for another awesome video Trump. Always entertained.

[@xZtealth]

Those menacing blades trump's wielding!

[@Grandeur023]

How is this considered F2P if u play the $25 DLC?

[@Ramster-dh4zc]

+Gustaf Söderberg how is this fair? I would love my 700 gold back.

[@NikiliteGamer]

Hey comment section! You're wrong, Maexxna is bad. You're wrong, Gargoyle is bad. You're wrong, Creeper is good. You're wrong, Naxx has many good cards, such as Undertaker and Sludgy.

[@Jay-nj9dr]

I beat them all with F2P decks.Took alot of tries and different decks but can be done=) great vids trump.

[@Kreekakon]

I'm from Taiwan, so naturally I'm playing on the Asia server. I play ladder mostly casually from time to time since I'm more dedicated to arena so my highest rank was around 10. I can say that at least for that level the meta seems to be generally exactly the same as what I've observed from Trump's videos for the most part, consisting mostly of: Zoo Warlock, Miracle Rogue, Control Warrior, Combo Druid, and a rise in Freeze Mages. Another interesting thing to note is that with Warlocks at that level there seem to be no Handlocks at all. It is almost always safe to assume any Warlock you see will be Zoo which usually turns out to be right.

[@TikayKiller96]

Oh my God new F2P Series *____*

[@jaxsonbateman]

It's interesting that you mention Stoneskin Gargoyle being the way it is for the Naxx-champion matchup - if I'm not mistaken we get Plague Quarter next week, with Stoneskin Gargoyle being the first reward card - and the Gargoyle could prove very useful against Heigan, given that on heroic he does 3 damage to the left most minion for 0 mana (that is, every turn).

[@QA4nAofm0]

If only the first class challenges were Priest and Shammy/Mage ;) I would love to see a F2P Priest even though he disclosed in a video that he won't attempt to do one :( But hey Trump likes a good challenge and maybe he'll do it someday... hopefully.

[@QA4nAofm0]

୧༼ಠ益ಠ༽୨ F2P Priest or R I O T ୧༼ಠ益ಠ༽୨

[@BillRevis]

Amaz did one

[@JackManic1984]

That stone skin gargoyle will be very powerful with the North Shire cleric

[@i5m1thy]

I don't think Trump has realized the power of poison seeds yet. The card kills your minions *before* replacing them with 2/2's meaning the death rattles go off first. With a board like the one at 17:40 he could have poison seeds and turned a board that he was losing heavily in his favor. His board would have looked like 2/2, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2, 4/4, 1/1, 1/1 and he could have mark of natured his 4/4 to kill the three 2/2's on his enemies side.

[@i5m1thy]

And why is Yoda in charge of the youtube translation system?

[@asdflol4945]

i5m1thy Yeah the eggs that summon 4/4 wombo combo! ofc u get 2/2 and a 4/4 from it

[@alfie0000]

i5m1thy thanks to Yoda im managed to understand 0.00000000000000000001% of ur text thks a lot

[@backtrakk2121]

i5m1thy lmfao, yeah Yoda is great at translating normal English into drunken slander, great for a quick laugh though, thanks for that :)

[@NexonPlayerNA]

I'm sensing some Miracle Rogue shenanigans with that Echoing Ooze...

[@fujikage999]

the way that kel said the line after u beat anuba khan sounds like nova's impression of prof xavier from xmen

[@Akimb0]

Stoneskin Gargoyle + Mark of Nature actually makes that fight really trivial.

[@TheZefarg]

Maexxna is actually good/very good card in my opinion compared to emp. cobra you are paying 1 mana for 2 hp. Can eat some removal to make other cards safe, the stats are good. It's so nice in hunter beast deck. Turn 9 Maexxna + Misha - Turn 10 Houndmaster + Faceless :3 Higly recommended to give her chance. The deck I have build is fairly succesful.

[@ExtremeMith5]

ANNDDDDD Stampeding kodo/cabal shadow priest/shadow word pain

[@ExtremeMith5]

Shadow madness too I for get that one

[@ExtremeMith5]

:D I'm happy for u lol

[@hungdinh79]

For 6 mana i don't think it's a good card since there are alot of better 6 drops out there that are alot better than maexxna, i mean just look at cairne, bloodfist ogre, savannah highmane and even gelbin is a better card.

[@acidpop97]

I personally think it's a beast. Of course, there are incredibly hard counters, but what card doesn't have those? It's incredible in a control deck, and is healthy enough to 2 for 1 even large minions.

[@jamessimbolon3887]

Ahh, the memories. A few months after I started HS 2 years ago

[@Razilx18]

So from my personal playthrough and watching the new naxx cards I have a big feeling kodos will be wild soon.

[@Olhado256]

Oh man, Reincarnate is literally the hero ability of my imaginary Necromancer class.

[@dacciavellie4392]

If he beats all the heroics with THAT deck am going to jump of a tall building or die of old age.

[@Thesurge747]

And so our story... begins.

[@Jarczenko]

Oger OP as always

[@korllark1]

That "Reincarnate" spell card could be sooo useful!

[@KuroroSama42]

17:30 poison seeds would have been great here, since it would trigger your egg and spider. OR, you could suicide the spider to combine the 2 1/1s into a 2/2 in stead. Either way, it would have been a great play.

[@koreshura641]

Trump, you would be surprised if you knew how much nax helped zoo already: nerubian egg can be buffed by dire wolf,shattered sun, power overwhelm etc. So that's a new huge body for zoo. Haunted creeper + knife juggler is so good when you can pull it off. With only just these card changes I shot up with zoo from rank 19 to rank 15 in less than an hour!

[@icefly20]

I've had a 3/17 Maexxna vs a Druid. He had to spend 4 cards and 2 turns to kill it. It was amazing.

[@phyrisl2]

Not meaning to be annoying or anything, but did your Maexxna actually get alot of value? You had to spend cards on it to get its stats higher like that, did you divine spirit and defender of argus? That would sorta be like 3 for 4. What is your current experience with maexxna?

[@icefly20]

Dominic Waters In terms of card value it was a 2 for 4. But the real value was that it took the opponent 2 turns to deal with it which allowed me to control the board for the entire game afterword. I have to admit that was an ideal situation and I still don't think it's a good card

[@phyrisl2]

ok, thanks. I didn't really think it would be. It's a shame, but not all cards can e awesome I guess

[@karmaofgood]

Dominic Waters His response to you was pretty good. But to add on to that, argus on it's own can be great, assuming he had another minion on the board it got 4 points of value in stats, plus it's a 2/3 so actually 9 point in stats.

[@KangarooKidd]

I had a stoneskin gargoyle that I buffed up to 14/14 on my priest, they're pretty cool, as long as your opponent doesn't have a hard removal in their hand :D Also, I don't like Poison Seeds. It's only use is if you have a board where you have little to no minions, or the egg, and your opponent has like a board full off stormwind champions, rag, dragons, etc. Then it's worth the 4 mana. The biggest problem is that you don't get to attack with your trees until next turn. So your opponent has the advantage because they can take out your trees with their trees.

[@VoidStar.]

I knew staying up all night would pay off!

[@Bernd-Lauert]

Oh my god I fucking love those Hearthstone videos. Never played the game but the guy commenting it is way too cute. Nice voice too very relaxing.

[@klauskleber9250]

"I don't remember there being any cards which buff the echoing ooze" - Has Defender of Argus in his hand.

[@Maurin67]

a very sodapoppin ish hoodie on your thumbnail :D

[@DHM____]

i like to think that poison seeds + either blood mage thalnos or kobold geomancer and swipe is pretty good, full board clear

[@Tihi85]

Maexxna is a great card if not silenced. it has more hp then an ogre and also it can kill any minion. But it can be easily silenced and killed with a kodo/shadow word pain, also it can be easily stolen by priests but also it can get charge from warsong commander and ofc not to mention its a beast =p

[@PwnySlaystation01]

Stoneskin + Northshire Cleric bro!

[@CorsairJoshua]

For my class challenge deck they let me open up with Mark of the Wild, Echoing Ooze, and Innervate. I was like 'SO IT WAS FORETOLD!"

[@Al0neStillAlive]

1:50 I'll have you know I made a token druid deck build around the new spectral spiders, spider egg, and poison seeds. It's pretty sweet.

[@Al0neStillAlive]

Maexxna isn't terrible, it's a fantastic card. Especially in a priest deck that runs divine spirits and inner fires. You silence it? Ok, i'l just make it a 8/8 16/16 or 32/32.

[@twisewise6382]

Nice

[@mathufnn]

I think the new naxx minions will be good mainly on handlock, given how much value they get when buffed or have taunt on them

[@Kisame253]

Poison Seeds its a funny combo card with tokens^^

[@alexandertnder2275]

i used the poison seeds on double nerubian egg and that spider, ended with 9 minions, pretty value.

[@Exenorate]

Dat thumbnail.

[@MrSketchboy]

You can most certainly build a deck around poison seeds. I have. I call it "deathrattle druid. you play all of the minions that have good deathrattles ( like drawing cards, or hopefully making creatures. then turn 5 or six poison seeds, hopefully giving you a board full of tokens while your opponent has 2 or 3. then you win with savage roar or power of the wild buffing all of your dudes

[@Urza26]

One of these days, I hope Blizzard makes more treants and maybe even a treant "lord" that buffs all other treants.

[@MrSketchboy]

That'd be sweet - the deck can be very institutional though

[@HalfHeartGames]

I think this is possible, but too optimistic right now. In order to have a huge board numbers advantage you would probably need to run a token druid. I like the idea though. Maybe even a turn 8 play with two eggs would be ok, but it seems kinda slow and very situational.

[@giordihero]

maexxna is a good card if you trade with it, it can kill like, 2 Ancient of War MAN The poison seeds fits really well in a Deathrattle deck and you can clear the enemy board with a starfall

[@JIM0rgan]

Where'd you find that Valeera picture for the thumbnail? It's so realistic.

[@lydescron]

I saw a couple of times you forgot to attack with one of your minions. You still won regardless, but just a heads up!

[@permeus2nd]

in the Druid class trial i had the stoneskin as a 6/12 that heals to full at the start of each of my turns ied call that a bit op and most likely why its so weak to start with.

[@TheEldarTreeStudios]

the gargoyle is actually really OP in the druid deck.. just use all your mark of the wilds on him >:)

[@TheEldarTreeStudios]

And spam click translate ;)

[@vaylik]

stoneskin gargole are good in priest decks with the inner fire combo

[@SureShot069]

Earthen Ring Farseer: "My legs are open" ... ಠ_ಠ

[@Malacite]

lol I'm surprised at Trump, the Gargoyle is a freaking amazing card. I guess that makes him a Spike then, since Spike really only cares about winning. I'm more of a Jonny-Spike hybrid (MTG personality test). Love to win, but also love me them combos and Gargoyle is just BEGGING for stuff like Blessing of Kings for ridiculous value. Also kinda funny to combo with Light Warden, Defender of Argus, Divine Spirit etc. you know name. EDIT: Oh and the new Rogue card is the tits. Played against a Zoo yesterday where I was pretty far behind, only had SI:7 and Spider on the board. use SI:7 to clear taunt, ram spider into his doomguard for the trade, bounces SI:7 and replay it to frag his other dude. The shenanigans you can do with the Ambusher are wonderful if you can limit the RNG. (and a 5/5 for 4 is just insane for Tempo rogue)

[@Garthock]

The issue is that it's only good with buffs, and a lot of the high end players believe that naxx will cause a lot of players and decks to run heavy silence.

[@THEGREENHELIUM]

Can you fucking not?

[@stev019]

Sounds like scrub talk to me. Silence incoming. I run two owls now for garbage play like that.

[@ryukenxx2]

Your gonna run garbage cards just in case you run in to that?

[@Malacite]

Not every card has to be amazing on its own. The gargoyle is fantastic for things like bashing paladin's recruits (especially with windfury) or buff with taunt for a wall the other guy has to break down all at once. I just find it interesting (never said it was bad, there is no wrong answer) that Trump is so clearly a "spike" - the player who prioritizes winning over all else. It's actually pretty apparent watching how he drafts in Arena and goes for greedy/value plays. For reference - the MTG archetypes (which apply to CCGs in general) are Johnny (Combos) Spike (Winning) Timmy (Likes cool/flashy cards) and Vorthos (cares mostly about flavortext/art)

[@Linkman95]

BTW that tidecaller is the only murloc in that deck. I played out a match till we both got fatigue and not a single other murloc came out

[@dobrivojenet719]

nice F2P deck :D

[@santyxeneize]

Trump you can use gargolyte to draw cards with priest, when they heal.

[@phyrisl2]

Where are any of the arachnid quarter cards good? Is nerubian egg good in zoo? I haven't seen much use in the deathrattle spider and maexxna yet. I would like to hear some experience. I know some of these cards are waiting for trolden videos, but are any really that good? (spider cards that is)

[@phyrisl2]

Note: I do think that anubar ambusher looks pretty good, not sure for what deck though

[@dan240393]

The gargoyle is pretty good if you can buff it and give it taunt. I steamrolled the class challenge by drawing a stone skin, mark of nature and mark of the wild in the first few turns. 4/11 Stoneskin with taunt is nigh immortal.

[@peanutbutter369]

The grand widow is HOTT!!!!

[@JeanCSM]

What program does he use to show his deck list on the left side, and mark the one he has already drawn/used ?

[@lucratius3]

19:40 trumps math used to be better.

[@ThePheonixProduction]

He got his math right o.o

[@maagiapall]

***** 1 + 2 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 + 5 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12?

[@stev019]

***** No he didn't. 2 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 1 is twelve. Missed lethal.

[@ericmosell3653]

***** I'ts actually "mistook"...

[@Just_Allah19]

1+2 = 3+2 = 5+2+2 = 9+10 =........21 o.o

[@KaikipBT7]

Trump is really not impressed with the AI and the new Naxx cards, lol. But as someone who really enjoys playing priest and druid, I think the gargoyle with that heal mechanic is gonna be crazy.

[@Mrlocofan]

I think because the AI isnt that clever. Sure it make efficient trades (sometimes) but the real difficulty is that they just have op hero powers, like heroic maexxna who with 0 mana return 2 of your minions to your hand

[@amundkringensamuelsen647]

To my surprise, I actually managed to get value with Poison Seeds in arena. I had a 2/1 and a 1/1 on the board, they were both buffed by Soul of the Forest. My opponent had a 6/5 and a 4/5, neither of them with any deathrattle. It was an excellent situation to play poison seeds and I could even follow up with a Keeper to kill one of his Treants. I ended up with four 2/2 treants on the board in addition to the Keeper and my opponent only had a single puny treant. That turn gave me an incredible comeback that ended up winning me the game. However, this was the only game I got value out of Poison Seeds and in all other games I used Poison Seeds like a terrible Polymorph. Still a bad card :)

[@ericturan3198]

It seems to me that if you want to make use of Poison Seeds you should put it in a deck that has lots of deathrattle. That would expand the range of situations in which it's a good play. Also, late game it combos pretty well with starfall :D

[@Parad1gmSh1ft]

***** Yeh I look at it as a more expensive equality conescrate combo with poison seeds starfall. I think it's fairly viable against giants decks.

[@HolyXerxes]

Is best just to put tons of deathrattle minions like Nerub eggs...and you have tons of minion in one turn

[@z.joshuaramirez7484]

Holy Mory Macaroni

[@Garethaxz]

There are actually a fair few druid decks building around poison seeds right now, mass spiders and anub. eggs = full board of pretty strong creature rather early on in the game. Not super viable imo, but interesting none-the-less.

[@Garethaxz]

Also, I'm fairly certain the missile's aren't random.

[@christianderue4375]

I buffed gargoyle in the match to get poison seeds and made it a regenerative 3/10 with taunt being buffed by mark of nature, give all minions 1/1, and a defender for that value and AI didn't stand a chance.

[@maxhersh2779]

19:47 Missed lethal? 1+2+2+5+2 = 12 She had 12 health + His hero ability just incase ....

[@CookedPork]

The only thing I can think happened is that one of the glittery effects on his 5 damage blocked the 5 a little so he read it as 3 :P

[@stevenxboxrose]

The legendary is not a bad card. Niether is the 1/4 gargoyle. I made him into a 5/12 taunt that the bot kept running his face into and sacing all of his creatures just to have it back up to full the following turn.

[@blakebruursema6610]

i think the gargoyle could really help a priest deck out, and maybe be built around it

[@basicnerd1347]

What's the thing that shows what your deck is on the side? Or is that just editing?

[@OMGTROLLL]

Yay new F2P

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Talking a lot of poop about the Gargoyle. I don't think it's supposed to be dropped by itself asap. It's more of a combo card. Drop it later and buff it and you have a nice 'tank' if it isn't silenced. Even if it is, something bigger wasn't silenced, so it's not so bad.

[@TheViolander]

The heal part is near useless as it heals at the start of your turn and it is basically a shitty 1/7 with taunt, expect it has no taunt and needs to be buffed. It's crap, like really really crap. Even if it was a 1/5, I probably wouldn't play it

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

TheViolander Good for you.

[@NightmaresInNeurosis]

TheViolander I can see it, and Ooze, being used in a token Paladin deck, maybe Druid too. With no buffs it's pretty pathetic though.

[@iliketurtles1096]

it as always comes down to putting too many cards into one thing that can be dealt with rather easily by many classes, you're not wrong, however it's just too annoying/ slow and even when you buff it up, you'll have to buff it a lot to make it worth while, which just brings it back to the first point. it's just not worth it and there are many other cards that are better with and without buffs that are just better to play. and the other problem is of course what if you draw it early, and not your other early stuff. it's incredible against zoo and aggro, but not strong enough against the other decks in the meta to warrant putting it in.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

iliketurtles1096 Thanks for being reasonable. It's just going to be my personal favourite then. :)

[@Panthro-lo2lh]

idk, stoneskin gargoyle seems to be a good tank if you can buff it. you'd kind of have to build around it though.

[@lovaszbence]

On the druid class challenge i had a 15 health gargolye , and i destroyed the widow . :)

[@backtrakk2121]

where is the feature or add on that shows your deck list and what cards you draw??

[@weandyrfc7]

So will all of the other wings be free for the first week?

[@vaylik]

manexxa is good with shamen when you give it wind furry then restore its health with that card that restores heal and gives it taunt

[@blastwave2k]

I wish the Gargoyle had some more fun unique ability, like reduce damage dealt to it by 1. The weblords I love tho. 2 cost for a 1/4 ok, but that ability definitely slows down the battlecry minions. lotta battlecry in aggro, but seems to be good meta against control too. =) *cough* Azure Drake *cough* I've already have people in ranked matches ragequit when I drop a 2nd or faceless it lol

[@ashei]

I bet the gargoyle is great if you combo it with northshire cleric

[@LeeroyGankins]

Trump Do you think you will do anymore F2P decks in the new season

[@ZXbolterZX]

dat thumbnail doe

[@ziga328]

Trump is clearly impressed by the stone-skin gargoyle.

[@Heurecka]

is there like hidden dialogue if you play maexxna against maexxna

[@raikomennight-jar3502]

TSM PRIDE!!! ;DD

[@Heidar95]

Would anyone mind telling me why it's so common to only take one "Fan of knives"? I've noticed most high-end players only seem to take one but I've never understood the reasoning for not taking two :/

[@TehCourier]

Trump in the thumbnail is just so cute lol. *NOHOMOISWEAR

[@MrBoegela]

Stoneskin doesn't need to be buffed, it's already really good as it is, it's ment to get buffed on the playing field, like giving it taunt is really good, it's good in priest and druid decks

[@ShotRage]

exactly

[@Ramster-dh4zc]

A 3 mana 1/4 is still trash. I would rather buff my deathlord that already has taunt.

[@blakeraymondable]

"bad gargoyle"

[@GDsWatermeat]

I played through Naxxramas using a priest, used my Shadow Cabal Priest to steal one of the tarantulas off of him, and it gave me King Krush. I was winning anyway, but it made me laugh.

[@Jablan11]

7 minutes ago,nice :D

[@dbtluucifer6487]

people like alarm-o-bot-deathwing. With this expansion, i like Deathlord-Deathwing..= D

[@pentagramic]

A 4 mana 5/5? B-b-but muh yeti... RIP in peace yeti, you were loved.

[@banethor]

Is his F2P warlock run not being turned into a series on KZbin?

[@And3rsoN99]

He has already said on stream that it was in an old format that he does not want to upload.

[@RobertBB1989]

What makes you say Maexxna is so bad? It's basically an infinity/8 card against minions. sure she can't do much damage to the enemy hero, but it could be great against things like Ancient of War. Any minion that has less than 8 attack will at least 2 for 1 with it, and the only spells that could really deal with it 1 for 1 would be poly/hex. it would suck if it was silenced sure, but that means the silence/poly/hex isn't being used on something better too.

[@westonparker5940]

I didn't think gargoyle was half as bad as Trump says it is, against the AI at least. I had no idea that the ooze also copies buffs. That makes that card x10 times better than it already was.

[@HiddenSarnek]

I play a free to play Warrior, its best matchups are zoolocks and hunter and possibly Miracle.. now that both miracle and hunter are getting nerfed will I be sad?

[@bordeaux1337]

Beating heroic naxx with only basic cards is doable. The only question is, can it be done with Rogue?

[@Battlemech3246]

I never spend money for hearthstone and i was able to defeat the bosses on heroic mode. I think you should be able to do this 2 ^^

[@Scantahs]

Everyone can do this. You just need the time to play that much. Even without spending money, you can get an Deck with legendary cards.

[@MultiQuikscopez]

***** i have been playing since open beta and i have the most shitty cards and no legendaries lol.

[@tomalard2564]

***** d/e hogger and tinkmaster

[@MultiQuikscopez]

Yeah it's just retarded i'm always unlucky in games where you have to be lucky to get items like hearthstone and counter-strike go. And to save up for a legendary takes way tooooo long because i need other cards aswell.

[@MultiQuikscopez]

I have all those cards but im just SOOO unlucky with card packs its retarded.

[@debrajsarkar8599]

Started hearthstone this year...and damn....the thought of not playing through this campaign because blizzard decided to remove it just saddens me. This looks just tailor-made for Halloween 😔

[@Rave.-]

18:00 Poison seeds. You get a full board from deathrattles and he loses his.

[@juliuskull]

Gargoyle is to be played with blessing of kings. 5-8 self healing, bretty good if not silenced.

[@dog2.018]

2 cards 7 mana for a self healing 5-8 still sucks

[@matthewgates9301]

why is the haunted creeper classed as a beast yet the spectral spiders that it spawns aren't?

[@asdflol4945]

Because spectral spiders arent "real" they're spectral... like asking why ghost isnt classes as beast
