*C'thun appears* "death" *C'thun disappears* *C'thun reappears* "is close" Time = 8:58

[@neartheplumtree]

lol

[@GaussNine]

+Wizard Lizard "DEATH--" *vuum* "Wait, what? THOSE FILTHY GNOMES SAID THEY FIXED THE CLOSING PORTALS! Can't find good acolytes these..." *vuum* "IS CLOSE" *vuum* "...Nailed it."

[@komradekontroll]

+Wizard Lizard clever

[@havelard]

what in the f?

[@sirvladharkonen6200]

That Dreadsteed + N’zoth play is just evil

[@tomsandstrom338]

+SirVladHarkonen nooooo ;_;

[@hiccups1980]

Imagine 7 dreadsteeds on the board and you have no "power overwhelming". That would be baaaad. You can not play a card anymore. Dreadsteeds are not always good. ;)

[@MagmaRagerinoKripperino]

A 10 mana card that dies to two 3 mana cards. I think that says all...

[@resention8230]

+MagmaRagerino Kripperino This is so closed minded. N'zoth himself is not where the value is - it's in his effect. Yes, N'zoth might die to spells. But guess what? They're removing a 5/7 that does nothing AFTER he's played, instead of the threatening minions he resurrected. Boom, you opponent is now behind.

[@rogerfrost3979]

+Kel' Thuzad Lui au moins il est en standard :p

[@gabrielcoutinho4027]

+MagmaRagerino Kripperino I use you in a paladin deck, with the girl 3/3 give divine shild to minions with 1 health

[@Brownboy42069]

[@desmondphillips6560]

+Skipperino Kripperino Do u literally just stare at your KZbin home page all day??? XD

[@ollijarvinen2877]

[@CultOfMonika]

Thank you

[@jacobs398]

Also 11:47, it's so nice to make plays like that now since Lightbomb is gone.

[@UndeadGary]

:(

[@Skycania]

+Jacob S Opponent still dead =/ even if he had lightbomb and healed face

[@TheAlphaLucifer]

+Jacob S Lightbomb is still playable if you go to Wild mode.

[@Disen454]

[@drakey2000]

+oBANDIT (TOTALLY NOT A DICK USING A HAT) do that 3 more time and you won the World championship

[@jellied1755]

+Dixen The BabyRage is strong with this one.

[@drakey2000]

kek

[@АртемИванов-ю8ъ]

+Dixen it's good topdeck, but it's not needed, cause he had sunfury protector, so whatever

[@Yostemite]

That second game was one of the best I've seen in a long time

[@LuoDuen]

How? It was mostly boring

[@WootmansayWOOT]

Remember the GOOD old days, where you could prove your deck is BETTER with decks such as Face Hunter? Now we got all this RNG meta, with yogg saron and blizz trying to compensate for some of the missing cards, wild mode simply doesnt cover it, we all know that face is the place. We must remove these nerfs, #faceusblizzard #makehuntergreatagain

[@ililillilillliliilil]

L

[@RinKokonoe]

+WootmansayWOOT No. I don't ever want to see that plague breaking out again.

[@mr.pancakes8502]

Oh gawd no not the plague that lowers people's intelligence to a box again

[@danister69]

I would vote for this man. But seriously, Face Hunter is still playable. It makes me feel gross

[@gawo9616]

+WootmansayWOOT No one play yogg at high level , that card is just fun , not really made for constructed :p

[@huldu]

That last game was quite awesome.

[@erwachsen519]

Anomalus fits great in Nzoth Decks Kappa

[@bunniz]

It does seem as though you can teach an old God new tricks.

[@stonerkebab9498]

The only reason id never play this deck are the dreadsteed soundeffects

[@4523167098]

Phew, now i feel better for getting N'Zoth out of a pack recently.

[@dororiok]

11:30 azure drake into blackwing corruptor to kill tirion was actually lethal

[@timpw6316]

The way he says 'Caine at 2:22 lol

[@WiseAlbatross]

triple old god concede paladin... what a nightmare

[@vijaygarv]

7 years later, that N’Zoth Paladin match was amazing.

[@eduflip]

10:30 "He topdeck C`Thun" What about your Uldaman Keeper 5 seconds later?

[@Kindersonde]

That game against the pally was I think the coolest game of Hearthstone I've ever seen. All the ways the game was drawn out, and the crazy variety of cards played. There were multiple cards that used to have entire decks built around them, all used together. Just fun to watch. Too bad I'll never spend enough money on this game to be able to try either deck.

[@CuriousMoth]

A change they should probably make regarding the old god legendaries: add the 'cannot be targeted by spells or hero powers' to Yogg. It kills itself so often that as it stands right now it's the only old god that is loses you games and isn't ever worth playing.

[@Fingers998]

no that sucks then nzoth cant buff itself

[@Fingers998]

i mean yogg saron

[@Fingers998]

i mean yogg saron

[@troll098ify]

+CuriousMoth You do realise that it'd still be affected by it's own spells because they aren't targeting it, right? They're all random effects.

[@CuriousMoth]

TROLLOFGOD Is that right? So if you play a Sogoth and they play a Yogg, it can still randomly get Fireballed? That I did not know :p

[@zeeying]

would've won that last game if he didn't take continuous double sylvanas hits to the face for no reason

[@Mathmachine]

I'm assuming since in Standard he's preeeeeeetty good, in Wild he's absolutely insane.

[@ChaosAngel4274]

+Mathmachine With Wild you have sludge belcher, piloted shredders, Haunted Creepers, etc. I mean my Nzoth Hunter and priest in wild beat everything I went up against, and I'm still missing an infested wolf and second call of the wild to make it more consistent. Museum curator is even better too, so yeah, I'd say it's Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy good. XD

[@mauriceflores3343]

I got rekt by a Druid in Wild. By the time N'Zoth came out he already played Malorne + 2 Faceless Manipulators + Barone Rivendare. I literally killed like 10+ Malornes. If your wondering how I let him get that far into the game it's because the rest of his deck was removal and healing.

[@pwenkojammy2894]

i have never seen a video maker that makes TOO MUCH content for me to watch lol Kripp your commitment is amazing, keep it lit fam

[@Eros12289]

N'zoth has (In my opinion) one of the best introductions a card could ask for. Creepy voice with angelic female vocals? Yes please.

[@Cheesus-Almighty]

+Mitchell Edwards And of course this is coming from a weeb.

[@Eros12289]

I wish I was a weeb. The type of music I love listening to usually does have female vocalists. What does being a 'weeb' have to do with any of this?

[@yes1810]

crafted a golden n'zoth first day of expansion after I got rid of Dr boom and the nerfed cards. Haven't regretted it once :)

[@lilPavs13]

I pulled it the day of the drop

[@yotoyloko]

Murloc Knight can still spawn old murk-eye? That's fucked up!

[@ParadigmZwei]

+José Ascencio They were only just retired yesterday. This footage was no doubt recorded before then.

[@yotoyloko]

nice to know that, I really had no idea about it.

[@markeithjones3137]

I know it is wild, but wasn't Old Murk Eye suppose to be a 1/1 instead of 2/4?

[@yotoyloko]

No dude, you are getting it wrong. It's Standard but Blizzard said Old murk-eye was out of it just like the other "reward" cards. Old murk-eye was, and still is a 2/4 o_O

[@ParadigmZwei]

José Ascencio Old Murk-Eye and Captain's Parrot were kept around a little longer because Blizzard felt they hadn't been clear enough regarding when their quests would be removed from the game.

[@gamer22887]

that game that went into fatigue was so intense

[@tehf00n]

Found a Twisting Nether pretty much vital against control decks who can handle the zoo. There always comes a point when you need to board clear in those cases.

[@kutaykoc9067]

04:09 MC Kripperino droppin' those hot beats

[@Arm4g3dd0nX]

Still tempted to make a wild priest N'Zoth Reno deck with Clockwork Gnome, Zombie Chow, Haunted Creeper, Museum Curator, Huge Toad, Dark Cultist, Harvest Golem, Mechanical Yeti, Piloted Shredder, Sludge Belcher, Corrupted Healbot, Piloted Sky Golem, Cairne, Sylvanis, Reno Jackson, Dr. Boom, and N'Zoth. Then toss in a Circle of Healing, Power Word Shield, SW:Pain, SW:Death, Velen's Chosen, Thoughtsteal, Auchenei Soulpriest, Excavated Evil, Holy Nova, Vol'jin, Cabal Shadow Priest, Entomb, and Lightbomb for more control. I'd make this deck right now but I'm missing N'Zoth and Cairne and I have plenty of dust to craft em but I'm still hoping for the meta to settle down as I'm interested in 11 legendaries and only have enough dust for 6.

[@FlamingCharge]

+Arm4g3dd0nX I wouldn't recommend running some of the weaker ones like Clockwork Gnome and Haunted Creeper personally. It makes you less likely to get some of the bigger, stronger deathrattle minions like Sylvanis and Cairne back, since the 6 minions you get back are likely to be crappier. It basically lowers the quality.

[@sansundertale8765]

I pulled this in under 20 packs of Old Gods, third legend ever behind Cenarius and Gruul. Needless to say, I am extremely tempted to sink money into the game for Sylvanas, Cairne, Thalanos, Xaril, VanCleef...but mainly Sylvanas. Definitely grabbing LoE so I can live the raptor dream.

[@toadofsteel]

N'Zoth is also good in dreadsteed decks, and keeps them viable after Baron Rivendare got rotated out.

[@mubbywub]

+toadofsteel a 10 mana worse onyxia?

[@kangookangoo9646]

that was an intense duel

[@lancelot2099]

afflicating shade is actually a totally reasonable death rattle effect.

[@UgandalfTheBrown]

Crafted it golden. Not a single regret has ever crossed my mind

[@Noblebatterfly]

23:33 Why murloc knight summoned old murk eye? Was it wild or it's just bug?

[@E0011]

+Vladmir Chekhov Blizzard inconsistency

[@NSisFTW]

No, it's not a glitch. Wild cards can be summoned through random effects in standard

[@darjim4116]

played a game with a fatigue rogue that had this summoned 5 deathrattle minions with a gang up on reno, powerful card to fill the board late in the game

[@fuzzycowie7837]

I love how kripp said this card would see no constructed play and now he loves it 😂

[@nusquamify]

i see that double sylvanas board in my nightmares

[@mekklord]

6:04 this guy visibly went to bird school, which is for BIRD

[@apocalyplant68]

Already have a N'zoth hunter and I'm pleased with it but I am wondering which other deathrattle deck to make. Which one should I create next: Rogue or paladin.

[@peterpfankuchen]

Hey Kripp, it would be very interesting if you would make a Video on how N'Zoth performs in specific classes for example Mage with Rhonin. I build this Sort of a Deck with it, including Cards like Malygos for backup plans and cards like effigy to maybe get some other Deathrattle Minions and it performed really well in my Opinion. I would be very excited if you would use other Classes to play with N'Zoth and I would be very interested in your Opinion on how good N'Zoth performs in a Specific Class and wich Classes perform better with N'Zoth than other classes. Thumbs up, if you would like to see it! :D

[@TyranusRex721]

Just constructed him for my deathrattle Rogue deck. Want to make a Hunter deathrattle deck too.

[@מיריתאליקים]

How murloc Knight summons old eye? its out of standard and its not seems like he play a wild game there

[@JamFunkTV]

I crafted N'Zoth a few days ago and I havent used it much :/ might give the pally another go with Tirrion Sylvarnis and a few more.

[@dustincampos3226]

sick game kripperino!! keep doing the good work

[@blabla868584]

11:30 missed lethal!

[@RogerSullivanNOLA]

N'Zoth was the first legendary I opened. I already had Sylvanas, Tyrion and Cairn, so I started experimenting with him right away. I found out pretty soon that he was a great card. Crafted Princess Huhuran and Xaril to go along with him, but not too much success with them yet.

[@TempoHack]

+Roger Sullivan xaril is great

[@RogerSullivanNOLA]

***** I'm not saying she's not, I just haven't really tried to hard to make any Rogue decks. I'm just getting started with it.

[@xBrayJay]

Huhuran is super fun. I mean, on curve she hits infested wolf for two 1/1 beasts, and turn 7 you hit high mane or sylvanas for some awesome results and get a hero power in.

[@GabrielSanches20]

Wait... How the hell did Murloc Knight summon Old Murk Eye if that is a wild-only card? o.o

[@juliang8676]

don't think the collectible cards have been removed from standard yet, heard there was a complication with that

[@randomnickftw]

im loving it in my rogue deathrattle deck.

[@madokakaname471]

last game was sick af

[@asriel_4955]

I got a hearthstone ad by watching this lol

[@jadanejda9674]

@19:10 Wasn't it just better to steal his Tirion, than keeping Sylvanas alive?

[@marijnkonings7635]

+Peter Nielsen thought so as well, that cost him the game imo

[@treycarmody]

+Peter Nielsen he can't steal tirion the only way to kill sylvanas was attacking tirion or hellfiring both will kill tirion as well.

[@AaronTheC]

He can't.

[@jeetjerome]

5:30 When keeping it real goes wrong

[@dunstless]

If you play the druid card "soul of the forest" will the affected minions be resurrected by n'zoth ?

[@fabianmellberg9178]

No

[@FriedChickenballs]

Nope.

[@SamSarin772]

no, only minnion with vanilla deathrattle, therefore it wont work with soul of the forest, unearthed raptors and ancestral spirit.

[@TheLolilol321]

+dunstless nah

[@guiorgy]

had the option to craft either Silvana or N'zoth... Went for Silvana...

[@WannaComment2]

So wallet warlock is a thing now?

[@LiangHuBBB]

I am asking this out of curiosity. What's your opinion on Nzoth, do you think this card is way too strong? It seems like decks build around this card can beat anything if Nzoth hits the board and there are not many cards which can actually give you the tempo / board control back. Having Sylvana, tirion or any other strong deathrattle card back like this is pretty strong. It is currently one of the main cards I lose too in case the match comes to late game and most of the time I am ending up into late game because control decks are the main decks Im playing. Thanks for reading.

[@xBrayJay]

Corrupted healbot is good, and cyclopian horror is good as well. Kripp just hates non greedy decks because he thinks aggro is a joke and shouldn't exist instead of teching around it. These are both very nice in a control centered deck suited for anti aggro situations.

[@Morec0]

... But, I like Infested Tauren. I run it in my C'thun Priest deck and the Taunt/2/2 minion it provides me with has been really useful when I just need to block/clear shit.

[@patrickbettermann2777]

I really like N'Zoth/Reno rogue because rogue has a lot of good deathrattle minions like pillager or squidface and shadowstep on N'Zoth to play him again is just pure savage.

[@Necrow_Productions]

I think Kripp got a new mic... that intro seemed louder!

[@furycurry1346]

What about skeleton knight? I don't have Cairne (dust him some seasons before lol), so I tried to replace him with skeleton knight. This is pretty good vs control if you manage to win a joust at least 1 time

[@ubererhs2898]

infested tauren is still shit, even with nzoth

[@Bananenbauer123]

+UbererSK In fact it should be a 3/3 OR the spawned slime should have taunt too

[@E0011]

+Bananenbauer123 Yep

[@atilalexander]

+Bananenbauer123 In their heads they might be thinking that it is a yeti (separated in 2 bodies) with taunt, they ain't gonna buff it any time soon...

[@Leedark3]

Simple fact is, though, that no N'zoth deck will be considered completely unbalanced. If they show up too often, they just end up getting wrecked by Priest anti-meta decks.

[@kangookangoo9646]

5:18 gameplay starts.

[@EmeraldDreamer23]

The art of this card is just amazing. I don't care if is good or not. I had to craft it.

[@XXANDERALEXX]

How did the Murloc Knight summon Murkeye? I thought in standard you can't summon non-standard minions

[@romeo2450]

on @12:48 when kripp yawn , 100000 people yawn too at the same time. #krip power

[@wolfernater]

noxious thought infested tauren would be really good, when it was spoiled he was singing it's praises all day.

[@zachhagen3145]

N'Zoth was my first legendary sooo lucky

[@Powernudel]

games like the last one are the only reason i still play hearthstone...

[@JohnathanTisdale]

11:30 missed lethal 5+5+6+3+5=24

[@treycarmody]

+The Nations Team no he did not where are you getting the 3rd 5 he can't kill tirion and attack face with it and truesilver has 4 so he was 1 off.

[@choonoomoonoo8256]

What's Kripp's full paladin deck list here?

[@S1L3NTDr460n]

In that last game, how did murloc knight summon old murkeye? I thought he rotated out of standard

[@ChairmanMeow1]

SO MANY KRIPP VIDEOS

[@MrRichman668]

Please make an updated 30 legendary deck soon!!

[@1nf3rn0rium]

Savannah Highmane is working pretty well with N'zoth

[@talanock]

Does N'zoth summon a minion that you put Ancestral SPrit onto? If so that could be pretty interesting

[@anonymousvagrant]

+talanock No, it only summons minions with the deathrattle text except for unearthed raptor.

[@BartiderWaldschrat]

Did he intentionally miss lethal in first clip? Ping Tirion with hero power, circle of healing, kill tirion with auchenai, hit face?

[@AlainReyes]

lmao that paladin doing the sudoku

[@TheAlphaLucifer]

Its pretty good card. I never played Rogue until this card. Depends on what deathrattle minions you're going to use.

[@TheJuanation]

Why is nobody talking about Rogue Deathrattle N'Zoth? Using Xaril poison mind, shadowcaster, tomb pilager, pirate guy, sylvannas. Uh turn 10 Nzoth shadowstep? Although not good against aggro decks, Its a fun deck to see opponents rage quit after you board summon tons of minions each turn after turn 10 lol

[@TheJuanation]

+Justin Hiew its the first deck I made when I opened up Nzoth, and Xaril. Its not an easy deck to blow by people, but just like Yogg mage 101, its super fun.

[@danneltheflannel]

+The Juan Nation cuz its like nzoth paladin, but with worse control cards and no tirion or healing cards

[@TheJuanation]

+danneltheflannel true, but its still a cool deck to play, its not terribly practical for advancing, but just having fun when it works

[@TheJuanation]

+The Juan Nation So satisfying to see 3/4 resummons of Nzoth

[@danneltheflannel]

O I love rogue too, having fun right now with a gang up/shadowcaster van cleef and Ragnaros deck, but the lack of good field wipes and heals really killed rogues this season sigh

[@dustinsaunders314]

c'thun and N'zoth who do you think is the best old god. think about cthun in the sense of other cards you can add because of him

[@singularity1130]

+Babbel Ad? Will it help me understand if Krip thinks this is pretty good?

[@TheFranchiseCA]

At the end of the last game, Kripp said he misplayed. Doesn't he remember that streamers don't misplay?

[@ryanm94]

You talk a lot about the other "deathrattle minions in the game" being bad, but what I think you mean to say is "the other deathrattle minions in standard format." Haunted Creeper, Sludge Belcher, Piloted Shredder are amazing, except that they aren't available in Standard format, these along with Sylvanas make N'zoth just that much more powerful in Wild.

[@iMpacTbySkil]

Would N'Zoth work with cards like Unearthed Raptor? It isn't a deathraddle card, but has a deathraddle ability.

[@aachherrle]

it doesnt

[@atem8101]

12:10 "corrupted healbot will lose you the game" *corrupted healbot wins the game*

[@KaelanSwan]

Q: do you like the new 4/2 Loot Hoarder?

[@Electru522]

How did that Paladin get Old Murk Eye if this was a standard deck? I thought summons only summon standard minions (which Old Murk Eye is not)?

[@miniels]

Not that it would be very good unless in a very specific situation but if you played Anub'arak and it died a bunch of times, when you played Nzoth would it summon a number of them?

[@agent00koll]

was the last game in wild? i thought you could not use that 2/4 charging legendary murloc in standard (i know it came from murloc knight but still...)

[@xdChizzy]

If you were to give a card deathrattle with something like explorers hat, would it be summoned by N'Zoth?

[@Lostincyberspace100]

+PrimeZ No

[@A_Random_Raven]

+PrimeZ Nope only vanilla Deathrattle

[@ParadigmZwei]

+PrimeZ Nope. N'Zoth will only revive minions that had Deathrattles from the very start.

[@dittoelectrode6064]

you think infest / explore's hat let's minions come back?

[@d3s3rtray]

Had saved enough dust to craft two legendaries when old gods came out. Sylvanas and N'Zoth was the obvious choice. Also if shadowcaster copies a deathrattle minion and it dies. Then N'Zoth will re summon that minion at its normal stats. So getting multiple Sylvannas from N'Zoth isn't uncommon in rogue.

[@edschramm6757]

This card is REALLY powerful in wild, particularily in decks like shaman or hunter, which have deathrattle triggers. for example - sylvanas, reincarnate, reincarnate. if your sylvanas dies again, oh well. now add N'zoth for 3 sylvanass and any other DR cards that died. toss in dr boom for boombots. the pain is real

[@steventhecat]

Most interesting Old God? Yogg says hello

[@rykehuss3435]

+Steven Interesting from a competitive standpoint, I imagined. Yogg isnt that, its just for RNG laughs.

[@JaffaOrNot]

How did he get Old Murk-Eye from the Murloc Knight? Aren't all reward cards in wild now so you wouldn't be able to get it from any summon minion?

[@Fingers998]

i got it too idk
