[Hearthstone] How Good Is Dark Iron Skulker?

[@balliswife7155]

"if you are winning you're gona win, if you are losing you're gona lose" - revolutionary quotes here by the Krippster

[@ThunderingRoar]

you should skip him next time

[@Ghostneedle1]

Kirk W It's hardly obvious. Many decks that are winning can lose and many decks that are losing can win. Tempo decks like rouge however are unlikely to do that.

[@Thelonelyreign]

If you are just watching now, 4:56 to skip the kripp.

[@dasea]

Kirk W The entire premise of winning while losing is the basis of every single priest deck there is. It sounds stupid outside of the context of hearthstone, but is very correct inside the context of hearthstone.

[@RoastedPheasant]

Kirk W Kripparian is the John Madden of Hearthstone.

[@alfa0i0omega]

*Kripperino orders Ogre to attack* Ogre: Wait a moment ol' chap. If I heroically sacrifice myself, I may be able to take that adventurers shield down and short circuit his cloaking systems thus giving you a chance to take him out before he grows too powerful. Farewell old bean! *charges in* Kripp: What a fucking dumbass! Liek if you cri evrytiem!

[@helman202]

alfa0i0omega i just cried

[@KingofRock943]

BibleThump

[@osmium6832]

alfa0i0omega I never knew that ogres could unstealth minions like that. I know random target spells leave the minion in stealth if they hit it (like flamecannon on ravenholt assassin), but I guess I've never seen a stealth minion get attacked. I wonder if this is just with the cloak field or if it works on minions with intrinsic stealth.

[@carbon1255]

Jesse Frederick actually, they unstealth if they attack, or cause damage, so if it dealt no damage it would not have unstealthed. Interesting, I assume if the ogre had divine shield too, the minion would not have unstealthed, as it would have been dealt no damage?

[@osmium6832]

Carbon 12 I bet that's exactly it. That makes a lot more sense. It's forcing the stealthed minion to do damage in counter attacking. I suspect you're also correct about if they both had divine shields. Divine shields allow lots of weird exceptions, like if you implosion a divine shield it doesn't summon imps since it did 0 damage.

[@GodUd6589]

Kripp I demand some arena runs on youtube and you better deliver my friend.

[@claytonanderson767]

GodUd6589 Why not just look at his stream recordings? All of his arena runs are stored there.

[@NieKohamDzastina]

Kripp is not your friend mate, watch your words.

[@bee2690]

Clayton Anderson But you can't view the chat, which is almost as fun as watching Kripp's Stream.

[@iluvredwall]

Gold Roger There's actually a Chrome extension called ReChat for Twitch that displays recordings of twitch chat on twitch vods.

[@bee2690]

iluvredwall really ? Well thanks for the info sir Bomb, i'll take a look at this

[@devlin1991]

Kripp are you ever going to consider 1080p60 uploads? It's so much nicer to watch than the 720p30 videos you upload currently.

You literally saved my life

[@HimariHimatsu]

hedidit55 you should go to a hospital instead of the comments then, you are overreacting alot

[@CouchPotato252]

Alexander Markström Actually, Merriam-Webster just added a secondary definition to the word "literally" to mean, in effect, figuratively. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally i.imgur.com/OIqidhy.jpg

[@HimariHimatsu]

CouchPotato252 cool story about a word that i didnt even use in my comment, if you read it again

[@CouchPotato252]

Alexander Markström Cool story about reading comprehension, because you were obviously referencing the word *hedidit55* used when you said he was overreacting.

[@kozmagabor]

I also tried to make a Control Rogue with Skulkers and 1 Gang Up. Skulker is awesome against agressive decks, but I had some problems against control decks. Rogue doesn't has enough great hard removals, They are to expensive.

[@theStonerKid69]

I've played a lot with this card myself, since even back in my early experiences in the closed Hearthstone beta I've been a fan of trying to make rogue decks that will destroy the meta. Basically, I see this as a card that rogues certainly can use, but is not what they needed...and that is for a number of reasons. One, rogues already have a hard enough time with having good stat-line minions for their class cards; aside from Anub'ar Ambusher (who has what I view as a negative deathrattle), most of the rogue class specfic minions are crap when it comes to stats and a 4/3 for 5 does not help at all in that respect. Even SI:7 Agent doesn't really hold up well anymore due to 3/3 for 3 being on the weak side now. People shouldn't be surprised anymore that the most popular rogue deck at any given time relies on a gimmick; its because rogues simply cannot go toe-to-toe on the board with anyone! Two, the battlecry is situational at best. Unless your opponent happens to be one of those really bad face hunters that uses nothing but two or less health minions in his deck, chances are you're not really gonna get insane value out of the Skulkers battlecry. And even if you use the Skulker against a full board of undamaged minions, regardless of how much health they have, you still might get the feeling of, "How does this help me again?" Sure, maybe it'll kill a minion, two if your lucky, but most of the time a lot of their minions will still be alive and you'll be at 5 less mana for the turn. And three, the battlecry is way overpriced for what it *actually* accomplishes. On paper, Blizzard, and maybe a lot of the community, thought this guy would be a 4/3 minion that also consecrates a board of 7 minions. Such value, much wow. In practice though, it usually ends up being a 5 mana SI:7 Agent with 1 more attack. But hey, that's just my thoughts. Should you still want to try this guy out for yourself, he seems to work...decently in rogue decks that really emphasize on early board control; that means decks that only bring a 1 of the Tinker's Sharpsword Oil and ditch those Southsea Deckhands for minions that battle more for the board, like the Goblin Auto Barber and Spider Tank.

[@RafaelRodriguesMoreira]

4:56 to skipperino kripperino, and stop at 8:26 to avoiderino helterino...

[@toitd5258]

I made a controlly spell Rogue deck, and this guy helps a lot. Battlecry is almost as good as a consecration.

[@lifetake3103]

+A Wooden Cup plus the 4/3 is nice

[@RighteousNicky]

Ogre not dumb ogre win game ^^

[@JazzJackrabbit]

RighteousNicky Ogre smarter than Kripp!

[@DonSlips]

4:56 to skipperino the Kripparino, you're welcorimo

[@Pistallion1]

(This regarding constructed) So I disagree with your first couple statements about rouge. Oil Rouge usually is "losing" in the opening turns due to you being mostly a control deck with comboish finish. around turn 4-6 is when you want to turn the tables, and out of no where gain huge advantage. So i think this is a great 1 of in the deck that helps you with minion aggro type decks. I think it is a must have for new Oil rouges

[@mathiasswaldbach]

Reached rank 10 for my first time!! I am so proud of my self ;D

[@jony6651]

[@CasualSteamGamer]

Who is Helten and why is Kripp playing him in every video?

[@chevizz]

It's his friend , they play together when they want to have some fun, like some shitty or creative decks.

[@thefaller01]

Per sona Why do you care who helten is? Are you jelly?

[@upwardnn1208]

Per sona parallel universe Kripp

[@joakimandersson7769]

Per sona A guy he knows he will beat 90% of the time.

[@ThePatenty]

[@pedromoreira1171]

Kripp you should do a comparisson of nax cards and brm cards

[@calpoolfinance7477]

Next we will have, how good is totemic might?

[@KeanoMUFC1]

0:00 No skipperino kripperino

[@visoth7791]

Needs moar traps! I was laughing at that.

[@xomiakas]

got 3 of those in arena. literally the best thing that happened to me.

[@Mike__B]

Kripp: What's your approximate win/loss versus Helten? I realize you show wins to demonstrate a card or what not, but I'm just curious if you kick the crap out of him almost all the time or if he beats you up just as much?

[@Thegenerator100]

DIS is so good in Arena, I always pick it when playing Rogue in Arena and it's so worth

[@essence3411]

The moment you watch Kripps vids and you see that there is a new one uploaded 5 min ago

[@oblivionH4XOR]

At 8:32 press 13:50 to huck felten.

[@lkjkhfggd]

I wish this card wasn't the rare so that I would get it in my Rogue drafts (already have done 4 Rogue runs since it came out and have failed to get one). But then again, I guess I'm glad it isn't a common because it would compete for the most insane common card, certainly the best Rogue common (and naturally every Rogue I would face would have it).

[@Shaquillyonilly]

7:45 how did he just divine shield a stealth card?

[@samlyon4863]

+Shaquilly o'nilly You're able to target your own stealth minions but you opponent can't.

[@relivingelegy]

Tried a "Brute" rogue deck (healbots, blades, SI-7, pirates, and these guys) Worked okay

[@debtmaster]

Fun stealth fact: A Knife Juggler throwing a knife ALSO takes it out of stealth

[@navarone4031]

8:30 - 13:37 Skiperino helten fight.

[@mufu94]

I have to admit.I skip every part of kripp talking and watch his videos x2 faster. But still im a big follower.

[@Taziod]

That first game is the reason you ALWAYS play the top decked card.

[@zxc9884761]

Kripp It's time for you to introduce the infamous Helten guy! "How good is Helten?"

[@i_am_ergo]

Alt+F4 to skip the kripp.

[@AngRyGohan]

We called it at this match! We did it twitch chat.

[@ScouterVee]

I messed around with this card this week, and I had a pretty bad experience. Every now and then it would save my ass; however, I found it too slow most the time, it popped eggs, and is useless vs ERYBODYGETINHUR! His health is garbage as well. Most the time by the time you play this card, the game has already been decided.

[@vitormurilocoelho]

skiperino the talkarino of kripperino 4:55

[@TheShapingSickness]

I replaced the 3/3 that sends a random 4 damage bomb to a target for this guy, haven't look back.

[@Phoenix-ne8lf]

4:55 to skip krip and watch the games. You're welcome.

[@Drknss521]

Wait what if u accidently play skulked while your oppenent has grim patron as 3/3 when it resume ones will it keep going on affect or will it stop on first one..... it just came to my head I'll test it later or god damn trolden will try it or that other guy just thought of it lol :P

[@TheDarkAssassin131]

Skipperino the Kripperino at 4:56

[@liwendiamond9223]

I am the only one that respects Helten because he prefers playing the game for fun with friends and do stupid gimmick decks like All Traps Hunter? Why do you hate him being featured so often in Kripp's videos? Because playing against him "proves" nothing about the worth of X card, deck or strategy because he's fails to be representative of the ladder? Do all of you watch Kripp in the vague hope that one of these videos will reveal an amazing "I win at Heartstone, Easy Game" deck that you can faceroll to rank 1 legend? Well read this and learn to be a better person : First : Even if Kripp would suddenly figure out such an amazing deck, EVERYONE would immediately pick it up and you'd be facing a bunch of mirrors which, as mirrors then to do, ends up averaging a 50/50 win rate, unless you're a better player than your opponents, in which case why do you even need an "unbeatable" deck? Second : Your failed expectations and extremely overreaching sense of entitlement doesn't give you any reason to shit on Helten. He doesn't order Kripp to include him in the videos. You can give shit to Kripp all you damn want, call him names and make demands and try to convince him your "advice" on how to produce his content will make for a sustainable business (Good luck with that), but Helten is innocent and deserves zero hate. Yet you repeatedly insult him and tell him to fuck off... dicks. /Random Internet White Knighting

"How Good Is Dark Iron Skulker? incoming 4Head" was spammed in twitch chat, twitch chats know all.

[@gamingdice9786]

Below 301 I am number six who is watching the vid. Oh and great video Kripp.

[@Vile_Oreo]

Whenever I see that he played the card in question against Helten I just don't take it seriously anymore. Helten only plays janky decks and the card only comes up circumstantially most of the time anyway.

[@AgentCamtho1]

This card can occasionally be ridiculous, I once lost an arena game because the skulker decimated most of my board singlehandedly

[@dimensional3926]

Why is he always playing with that Helten dude?

[@dimensional3926]

Elder Gamer So is your irrelevant response, don't like it don't reply, how about that?

[@dimensional3926]

***** I'm sure there are dozens of people in his friends list that are 'halfway decent' at the game, not to mention the best way to test a gimmicky deck is to ladder it. Especially when he keeps going on about supposed viability, hows is the viability of a deck proven when against another gimmicky deck?

[@eldergamer8896]

John Doe I'm just saying my opinion, I tihnk your question was incredibly stupid.

[@Charlie7753]

John Doe Like he said they are bros and know each other for a longer time. (maybe even since wow times?) But I really dont know how long.

[@RyanBurke116]

Am I the only one who doesn't skip the kripp? I actually value his opinion and I feel as if his experience trumps the fact that he plays Helten every other game.

[@UserName0043]

Shut the fuck up.

[@Jaricko]

The only problem with skulker is it competes with other awesome 5 drops like sludge belcher or antique.

[@DriitzzCabal]

that has to be a bug the skulker killing the mad scientist without a snipe secret ( cause you test and there was nothing before the play ) and mad scientist pulling out a snipe off the deck to kill off the skulker...

[@HaloBalla]

"Ogre smarter than Kripp", that made me laugh so much, thanks for that.

[@Dz77777Dz]

Ok, so Kripp is sick Hearthstone. We must heal him! 1,5 year already he plays this. Do U remember the old version of random games playing Kripp?

I wish I had Kripp's "bad luck."

[@jaceyeager8143]

Plz Dont skip kripparrian :(

[@snyperheadshoot]

I have to disagree rogue is one of the best classes from behind, with late game 2 oils and blade flury you leave your enemy in few hp and you clear his board at the same time, plus he has multiple ways of developing a board while he is clearing the enemy's

[@Argumemnon]

So why play the topdeck instead of the other one ?

[@blblbl4543]

Salt

[@richardplexx]

Belz Zebuth It makes the opponent think you just top decked an answer, rather than readily having it at hand. Gives the opponent less information about your hand, and quite a bit of salt from you apparently top decking a response.

[@Argumemnon]

Richard Green I can see a reason for playing the other as well, not telling him what you just drew. Salt isn't much of a reason, however. I expect the other player to have fun, too. :P Thanks for your answer.

[@Veiphiel]

Belz Zebuth that doesn't matter at all unless you were playing around a card so obvious. So then you should use the oldest

[@liwendiamond9223]

Belz Zebuth It gives the impression that you are an incredibly lucky top decking noob who just happens to always draw the prefect answer, making the enemy just a wee bit closer to the boiling point that we like to describe as "A freaking mountain of rage quit inducing salt", at which point they concede, saving you time and preventing a possible yet unlikely comeback. It's also the reason some people keep spamming emotes and including Annoy-A-Tron in their decks. Frustration makes you irrational and impulsive, thus more likely to make mistakes or rage quit.

[@roslolian11]

Skulker might be the same as Gallowick, just a great card that unfortunately doesn't quite fit in current Rogue decks.

[@randomusername5100]

Dr. Pepper hey be nice Helten has downs

[@CabbageYe]

NorthWind Studios It really has nothing to do with how fun he has. He says the deck is good/ok and then he goes ahead and shows himself playing vs friends because he knows the deck gets trashed anywhere else.

[@NorthWindStudios]

Dr. Pepper That's not why he played against helten. He doesn't use his friend as an excuse to play bad decks. Why the fuck do you assume he's doing that?:
