[Hearthstone] Jade Druid Woes

[@thekripperino2766]

I`m supposed to dominate the comment section, but this one Kripperino keeps kicking my ass

[@jacodb8956]

Leave this place. The 'meme' that is thelegend27 was made for advertising purposes. With this, the commercialising of memes has begun, and we must stop it. Begone, vile spawn of satan! Vadre Retro, satanas!

[@amircuriel7866]

It has nothing with "commercialising", the whole idea of memes is to run a satire on popular things, and because this commercial is popular people are making memes about it.

[@castme13]

Some say thekripperino27 was the first hearthstone player ever. Born from salt, despised by the god of rng

[@zealot2222]

It's the TheKripperino27!

[@rogierownage]

Some say he can throw a game harder than a player that got to 0-2 with an amazing deck

[@gferrol118]

I remember when the most annoying deck was zoo. Now I'm actually glad when I see someone playing zoo

[@michaeltan2660]

yeah thats cuz zoo is really awful right now and its basically a free win...

[@urbonaslt1]

Same

[@mortalcoilerinokripperino110]

Hard to admit that you are not the best 1 cost spell in the game. Just face it jade idolerino, just face it!

[@PandeGFX]

nicely done

[@alonelyspoon]

Kazakuserino's 1-costerino spellerino has to disagree with that

[@TheCookiezPlz]

>Kazakus >1 cost spell >Can't play on turn 1 Confirmed pleb-tier

[@alonelyspoon]

+The Shitposting Spaghetti Monster still it's an 1 cost spell soooo

[@thedandguy189]

Easy nerf. Instead of "Shuffle 3 copies of this card into your deck" replace it with "Shuffle 3 'Summon a _/_ Jade Idol into your deck.'" A card that just makes you immune to fatigue by itself and has infinite value by itself is absolutely insane.

[@kikimorakikimorova5290]

The DanD guy still the card sucks a lot against aggro and even if you don't lose to fatigue, you should be far in the Jade building else it sucks

[@thedandguy189]

Kikimora Kikimorova regardless, infinite value and completely avoiding fatigue in any deck would be absolutely insane in ANY deck, let alone Jade Druid. Jade Idol wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that it alone can beat any control deck.

[@rafaelrmaier]

that's usually how you lose: you die before you win

[@shrapnel8869]

but dying turn 4 is fine, right? because that happens more often on ladder than druid getting infinite value.

[@thedandguy189]

Kael completely negating a deck archetype with one card is at the very least a little insane.

[@MrHotBagel]

"There will be a day when Kripp doesn't complain about his opponent... but it is not this day"

[@bt-5sovietlighttank416]

you mean every mage i face when i get 4 3-5 cost cards in my starting hand and the chance of that happening is 100%

[@nyx211]

This deck finally made me ragequit Hearthstone for good. I haven't played for a whole week.

[@MrDoggysmut]

astral druid is kicking ass this meta, i like it

[@ruthruth826]

nyx211 did you play control warrior mostly?

[@LikeGodzzila]

For me it was Pirate Warrior, yes I know that if you play an incredibly specific deck that you counter that, but if Blizzard is ok with even the remote possibility of a deck that consistently wins by turn 4, then I'm out. I have been getting into Shadow Verse, and despite the weeb graphics, it's a pretty good game.

[@rafaelrmaier]

I did, and I'm out I think. Downloading Shadowverse right now, ppl say its gucci

[@IvannM4]

Im on the verge of quitting but i still log in every now and then. I dont even like the game anymore its just the fact that i spend a lot of time on it and its hard to let it go.

[@Mathmachine]

Remember when everyone assumed this would be the deck that was in charrrrge of the Meta?

[@doctorbatman8520]

I member.

[@Bisqueetmun]

+Doctor Batman I member

[@heikolindenthal6741]

Mathmachine I see what you did there. I guess Hearthstones gonna need some patches to fix the meta... No but seriously:D As mentioned at some point in the video, the pure existence of Jade Idol shits all over the meta. Decks like control warrior that could actually keep aggro in check cannot exist in hearthstone as long as Jade Idol is part of the standard cycle. You can not justify playing a deck that is centered around removal and grinding your opponent, bc those sorts of decks will always get farmed by druid. With that in mind, the fact that Jade Druid exists gives aggro a big push. Imho Jade Idol is broken, however, Jade Druid is not. The deck is fine. It actually does have alot of decisionmaking, multidimensional development into the late game and some pretty tough times dealing with zoolike boards. If Blizzard allowed more combo & OTK decks, the game balance between control, jade druid and aggro could be restored. Druids not the problem, the problem is its missing counterparts that blizzard nerfed out of the game.

[@Racools]

Mathmachine so what will next year be if not year of the kraken?

[@Leedark3]

It sort of is, however. There are plenty of control decks that have the tools to deal with Pirate Warrior and the other aggro decks, but those control decks will NEVER be able to make it overall. They'll do alright against the aggro decks, but lose EVERY game against Jade Druid. That's just not good enough to stay in the meta. Without those control decks, aggro becomes the ONLY way to climb. Jade Druid is a problem unlike any we've ever seen before. Every problematic aggro deck ultimately depends, like every aggro deck, on pure luck; either you play on curve and your opponent doesn't have enough answers, or you don't. Patron Warrior was problematic because, while it didn't have ridiculously high winrates, it also didn't have a single bad matchup. If you knew how to play the deck, you could easily climb the ladder no matter what you faced. Jade Druid, on the other hand, while not being good against the aggro decks, completely shuts out EVERY control deck except one. No other deck has ever so restricted what is viable and what isn't.

[@vibingwiththewind2889]

Jade Idol should be: 2 mana. Summon a Jade Golem, OR shuffle 3 Jade Reminitions into your deck. Jade Reminition. 2 mana. Summon a Jade Golem.

[@kubilaydogru3797]

2 mana is pushing it. It can stay 1 mana but the other change is good.

[@vibingwiththewind2889]

Kubilay Doğru Well, 1 mana summon an 8/8 seems a bit strong. All Jade cards are innately strong, but the only reason they aren't played is because the aggro decks are FAR stronger. If we ever wanted a control meta, Jades in general would have to be nerfed. But in the meantime, I plan on playing my Aya'zoth Rogue.

[@kubilaydogru3797]

We are waiting for a control meta since Naxx. So don't ge tyour hopes up. If it happens than I would agree and I could agree with 2 mana jade idol but 3 cards that goes into your deck costing 2 mana is just makes it a meme card not a balanced one.

[@greindes1579]

Why not just delete this card?

[@h7oda793]

agree :)

[@ravenstone3436]

Not rich enough.

[@RalphACastilleja]

The card text basically means never run out of minions and the only card that saves jade Druid from the worst deck ever

[@chobogamer]

immediatly crafted this deck on release 90%win and 100% in the mirror, thumbs up if you enjoyed seeing kripp get rekt by the koolest deck in lê meta.

[@LikeGodzzila]

The "copies" shouldn't be able to put 3 copies of themselves in the deck again. They should be just: Summon a Jade Golem

[@MrCloudFFVII]

I think this will at least give you an opening the way it is now It just cancels fatigue Its ridiculous honestly

[@SceneTurkey]

The only time this is broken is with Fandral. Any other time, it's a really slow thing. So slow that choosing to shuffle 3 in your deck will lose you so much tempo you will just lose.

[@k2m90ps]

haha that's the problem kripp's getting at, they made a control counter card in a meta where aggro/tempo is dominant, more aggro decks in the ladder to counter that druid nice!

[@snatcherofpeachs]

for 1 mana? not really that much tempo

[@Moondonsfatpope]

@Skyle Wright never saw that happening after playing against this deck like 30-40 times lol

[@TheStrongestBaka]

I'm very thankful to jade druid for pushing control warrior out of the meta. That nonsense existed in almost every meta and was ridiculously unfun to play against. Before you ask: yes, even more unfun than against face decks. Just my perception though.

[@5oulPower]

Ahhhh finally... A fellow Hearthstoner who hates Control Warriors heart and soul. At least face decks had to move their minions. All these Control Warriors ever do is use removals where appropriate, get out Justicar early, press the Button and win the game. It's almost as if they aren't playing the game at all. Although I have them to thank for for many fun experiences. I hate(d) them so much I actually made it my mission to practice against them till I was good enough to beat them consistently. Naturally I gravitated towards decks that performed very well against them... The WOTOG-Karazhan meta especially had me busting many a Control Warrior's party. I'd like to think of myself as the Boogeyman Control Warriors tell each other about right before they go to sleep. They may be gone now, but I'm actually looking forward to them reappearing again. I miss making these people cry.

[@alisu7564]

TheStrongestBaka fuck off Hunter weeb

[@andrewyp6724]

TheStrongestBaka Same here. I agree that Jade Idol is somewhat ridiculous in some extent, but I sure am not sorry for CW. People qq about HS being too random, when CW win condition is pratically written 'random' all over it; use your cards to control the board, Justicar, armor up, Elise, hold on to unfavorable cards, monkey, what legendary did I get? I have no problem fighting CW even with my gimmicky, sucky control/value decks. But win/lose always seems to occur depending on the monkey legendary.

[@zedek_]

Come on man. Do you enjoy 20 minute matches against a person whose entire goal is to slow and delay the game until fatigue? Hating control warrior is not mutually inclusive with loving aggro shaman (the new hunter, btw).

[@alisu7564]

Zedek control - fatigue > aggro - face waiting 20 minutes is being able to get your combo or even giving you multiple chances of coming back, now turn 4 with a 7/7 and a 3/4 and a 4/3 trogg, not fair :p

[@BigDogBigBear]

King Krush can remove 8/8 golem Leeroy can't Krush>Leeroy

[@murcocc]

KingKrusherino Kripperino how about 9/9?

[@BigDogBigBear]

He would run over to the card, draw on it to make it an 8/8, run back and then destroy it. Although, he does have rather small arms so it could be a challenge to draw

[@tyronebiggums8661]

haHAA

[@BallerDan53]

King Krush cost 9 mana. 8/8 golem costs 1 mana

[@Anonymos185]

My favorite decks before Gadgetzan to play was Dragon Priest, Control- Deathrattle Rogue, Control Warrior and Control Paladin... Fuck me right? Played for 2 years, and now for the first time concidering quiting for good

[@tomasmckee2998]

dragon priest is super good tho

[@willman3000]

I miss control paladin so much.

[@OneCSeven]

Dank Potatoes control warrior and dragon priest are still good. control warrior just reverts back to a pre-Elise version thats heavy with threats and dragon priest can beat jade easily. control paladin and rogues are just memes so...

[@chingshunyung8796]

55, the only legenderies I craft was Tirion and Justicar :( Fk jaded druid

[@SkraxsChannel]

paladin crushes jade druid. you just outvalue hard lmao

[@ChaosBladewing]

Merry Christmas from the Emerald Dream!!! :D

[@Shanelp]

As someone that loves control its true. Jade Druid killed control decks out of the meta. Reno Lock is more of a combo deck than a control deck. Dragon Priest I guess is close but thats more tempo than control. There really needed to be a few cards that reset the jade cards back to 1 to allow counter play to Jade decks

[@anicedan90]

I love jade golem druid

[@williamloffler3906]

anicedan90 yeah... real combo deck... hahaha

[@anicedan90]

Please tell me what other deck can draw your whole deck while creating threats on board? None right? because what people in hs call combo is just playing all the cards in your hand, that is not what combo means in MTG. THIS deck is my favorite because it reminds me of MTG, that's all I said. Go search up ascendancy storm if you wanna know what I mean.

[@dandan4092]

anicedan90 rogue

[@casperchristensen8354]

Jade golems need to have static health, like 3 or something. Makes them a bit better early, and you actually have a chance to deal with them later on.

[@joel_rechtman]

I would prefer a system called racism basically multiplying a minions power depending on how many of one type of minion there is on the board like 'pirate' and 'jade'. However I don't think jade is a type

[@Jeff_the_ApocalypticGameCat]

...Racism? That's a rally effect, man. Racism is a very different thing. :p

[@joel_rechtman]

[@Heatranoveryou]

jade idol single handily locks out any slow decks. slow clap for team 5

[@isaacmclaurin3782]

Kripp try this miracle jade Druid deck, I use it a lot and it is really fun to play. Plus i didn't test it at rank 20 so you know it is good. Innervate x2 Raven idol x2 Jade idol x2 Living roots x2 Wrathx2 Wild growth x1 Coldlight oracle x2 Feral rage x2 Healing touch x2 Mulch x2 Jade Blossom x2 Frandral staghelm Swipe x2 Aruze drake x2 Nourish x2 Emporer thaurissan Gadgetzan auctioneer x2 Just survive using spells until massive gadgetzan turns, I can usually use 6+ in one turn and clear board and get to bottom of deck where you use other draws or gadgetzan to play lots of jade idols. You will sometimes get 12/12 golems or bigger. I like extra healing to survive longer but moonfire/ power of the wild for 3/2 in early game works to. Hope you like it I am climbing the ladder with it.

[@hooliganbubsy7298]

Control decks were the only thing I liked about this fucking game. Every expansion just makes them worse and worse and I can't go to wild because goblins vs gnomes still haunts my dreams.

[@Bananenbauer123]

[@Asubatsu]

" very little decision making, very straightforward play, very annoying, and amazingly destructive to the meta." So... every aggro deck, ever?

[@DATskorge]

Asubatsu every successful deck in this game's history requires almost no thought with the exception of: miracle, patron and handlock in their respective dominance eras.

[@fighttothedead]

DATskorge And what do all those decks have in common? They were nerfed because Blizzard doesn't want their game to involve skill apparantly......

[@zhuzhong74]

it seems you are actually right...and they nerfed those decks by killing the skillful cards: warsong commander, gadgetzan auctioneer, blade flurry, molten giant...

[@fighttothedead]

Zhu Zhong While those cards may not have required skill the decks that were succesful thanks to them were. A single card can never be skill intensive that's not how cardgames work. It's the combination of cards and winconditions that make a deck require skill.

[@Mooseplatoon]

This is true, but aggro decks exist as a natural byproduct of how this game is designed. Blizzard meanwhile intentionally designed the Jade Druid from the ground up, a deck that sounded cool on paper but in practice requires even fewer brain-cells than your average face deck. The deck single-handedly kills one of the most nuanced archetypes in the game (fatigue) and ensures that very few slow decks can be viable. Blizzard must have known this would happen when they decided to print a card that cycles infinitely and has unlimited value.

[@curcodes]

in the correct hands is awesome, Kolento for example

[@DrJunkhead]

I'm messing around with a jade/yogg/arcane golem druid ramp deck, running one copy of gadgetzan auctioneer. it gets nuts late game, I usually hold onto both innervates in the deck and draw a lot of cards when it hits the table. It's a hit or miss deck. the arcane golems are pretty solid when dropped and keep with the tempo

[@2da12]

I don't know why , but I think in the next expansion Jade Druid will get some more cards to make it better . Kappa

[@joaomarcosalvesaude1907]

Hey Kripp! Hope you get to read this. Do you think if Jade Idol read as "Summon a jade golem or add 3 copies of jade scrolls in your deck", the scrolls being spells that just summon the golem and nothing else, Jade druid would stop being a problem? That way you'd limit the amount of golems they can have throughout the game and also make the deck need more decision making as you kinda have to get Jade Idols instead of removal from Raven Idols if you want more steam lategame.

[@NightBlado]

Unlike one would think, from my experience, Savjz's Mill Rogue does actually quite nice (of all the control decks) against Jade Druid - that satisfaction of bouncing boardfull of big jades for extra mill with Prep+Vanish =D

[@nefariousnilbog]

Couldn't agree more. They really need to remove a 1 mana card that lets you go infinite and kills control decks. 1 mana lol

[@joec2221]

Nefarious Nilbog after the success of the ridiculous 1-drop archetype-killing minions like Trogg and Small-Time Buccaneer, a 1-drop archetype-killing spell is the natural next step

[@thalesrodrigo8452]

remember when we used to ask for a nerf in combo druid?

[@naeviaus]

To be Honest, to me the most frustrating decks to play against are Pirate Warrior (for obvious braindead face reasons) and Dragon Priest. Dragon Priest feels like playing overload 1 cards without actually overloading. The Dragon Synergies are just saying "you get Minions with better stats or strong straightforward effects, so go nuts". Absolutey hate playing against them.

[@TheSneakybones]

Could you build and play Patches Gang Up combo Rougue? I't's really interesting deck.

[@trentonion4900]

Jade druid might be strong, but I have been playing jade druid, and I almost always loose to cancer decks, like pirate warrior, shaman, and rouge. I've went to playing dragon priest because it can actually do good against both aggro, and control decks.

[@Darkspawn6666]

LuL how to play hearthstone : log in- check your quests- play 50 murlocs- create deck with 30 murlocs- play them- fuck HS

[@filimonetatofi40]

I don't know why people always complain about a certain deck being brain dead. It takes some experience and even less skill to actually play decks like pirate warrior. For other decks like control decks you need specific cards which are usually more expensive than the cards in midrange and aggro decks, control decks can also be considered brain dead. Also you can't blame other people for their good luck and your bad luck. People will also play decks within their budget which usually happens to be aggro and midrange.

[@Nerdtron93]

Thoughts if it got changed to something like 3 mana, summon a jade, and add one copy to your deck (Jade Idol)

[@pantman2028]

runnin through Darnassus with my woes

[@ksarcturis276]

Honestly i would nerf jade idol like this.... [a 1 mana card that reads: choose one: summon a jade golem or summon three copies of this card into your deck that cost (3) more mana.] So while this allows you to get additional value for a single card, it doesn't guarantee INFINITE value. It also for clarification, means that the copies into the deck cost 4 mana to use, and if you use the copy effect again those copies will then cost 7 mana. This means that while you can continue to get jade idols, they won't all come down on the same turn late game.

[@Vladd0r]

What about the old Alextraza > Grommash Combo? wouldn't that work as a Wincondition?

[@Jeff_the_ApocalypticGameCat]

The last time I played Hearthstone, every single match I had against Jade Druid was just like the first one in this video... I ended up teching a second Twisting Nether and a second Shadowflame into my Reno Lock, and it still wasn't enough. After every board clear, they immediately drop 3+ ridiculously large minions, and usually at least one with taunt, meaning Leeroy Combo doesn't stand a chance, if you can even get them down to 20 in the first place. Like you said... Control = 100% loss. I was able to stall it out until fatigue multiple times, but that's where Jade Idol's OP bullshit really shines. I finally said "fuck it", dropped Hearthstone and started playing Overwatch.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I think the fix to Jade Idol would be either play a Jade Golem or shuffle 3 Jade Golems (not idols) into your deck. At least this would limit the amount of times they could use it. And the Jade Golems should cost more than 1 mana to play.

[@opritchard8611]

This deck isn't being played for shits and giggles.

[@MrZebrot]

I've played a hell of a lot of Reno Mage, and even though Jade druid is clearly the worst match-up, you can tech a few cards that'll help you get some %. First of all, that's the most important: they don't have hard single target removal, so your Ragnaros, if he hits an empty board, just might stick for more than a few turns (ragnaros on an empty board is pretty much your win condition vs jade druid) Then, you need to be able to pressure the board early on: maybe get a wyrm ,and some more early game pressure. Anyways, this deck indeed sucks, but is still beattable with reno mage and many aggro decks. I have good hopes that this meta will actually be interesting with three deck archetypes (pirates/reno/jade) getting their turn as the flavor of the week.

[@bastiendeoliveira1145]

Hi, what's the name of the add on that's kreep using? cheers

[@magoichi75]

Obey the meta, you shall obey and create a aggro pirate deck. The meta has spoken so obey it.

[@Alexander-ll7rd]

I think the should limit the deck size by 36 cards. Jade idol will still have good value, but it is letting other control decks compete in the control match up. Hopfully the limit would make it easier to build control decks to counter the aggresive meta, without getting to punished.

[@freddiesimmons1394]

[@Alikaakui808]

Control warrior was my favorite deck to play, took months grinding up the dust to make it. Then they made Jade druid, now its unplayable.

[@stephenburley4581]

Honestly, I called this before the expansion came out, and I never understood why people didn't see this. Jade Idol isn't an inherently good card, it's just good for shutting down grinder/fatigue/mill decks. It doesn't add anything to the game, just makes it so that as soon as slow decks get strong, everyone plays whatever the most aggressive Druid deck is with one copy of this card, and the slow meta evaporates. It is a card which is only bad for game balance, winning against any slow deck on its' own, while not contributing in any meaningful way against aggressive decks. But everyone was just so worked up about Priest getting a Flamestrike that doesn't hit Azure Drake and a legendary that might clear the board on turn five sometimes. Welcome to another twelve months of aggressive meta, guys, 'cause blizzard's design philosophy just seems to be to make aggressive decks stronger and stronger with no meaningful counters. Admittedly, I did call the meta a little wrong though. I thought Midrange Shaman was gonna stay top dog, because control had nothing to beat it. Didn't consider the possibility that we might just go even more aggressive. Again. *Sighs* Please, Bliz. Actually valuable control cards next expansion, please. Something at least on par with the aggressive bullshit you keep churning out.

[@S0UP3R_Duck]

[@nielstanis2173]

Kripp you cant just complain about how decks counter your non meta decks, you dont hear anyone complain how they are mad shit counters their mech mages and murloc paladins because most people understand that non meta decks will be countered by some meta decks

[@S0UP3R_Duck]

It's not that it's a non meta deck being countered. It's that an entire archetype is being countered. Every single control deck that doesn't have a burst combo is being countered. Kripp even said this, I don't know how you missed it.

[@wavecycle]

Exactly this. Old school control priest - countered. Fatigue/control warrior - countered. Grinder mage - countered. Like Kripp said..basically any control deck that doesn't either have a huge burst finisher or curvestone to outtempo the jade druid is hard countered. By 1 card.

[@youngfool7433]

Kripp before jade idol came out: " this card is going to be the best in the game". Kripp now: " this is just a dumb card".

[@Trips57]

Yt algorithm is too smart for me, I thought it recommended me another amazingly salty vid about KoFT jade infestation druid.

[@slowmotion5698]

I wanna see more dexter in shot

[@blakemeckling280]

welcome back to kripp-complains

[@drphillive6366]

What is that deck tracker called, it's different than the overwolf one

[@miguelthelopez]

I want to build that yogg jade druid deck. looks fun

[@adman95]

I have the same problem with Jade Druid. Works for others, not for me.

[@bryanvanduck]

@16:30 If only there were one deck that beat everything and had virtually no bad match-ups. That would be the best meta ever, right? :DDD

[@ToxxicFlames]

So it's bad that Jade druid is good against control decks?

[@gideonhan1486]

I'm THINKING OF trying out jade pirate rogue. thoughts?

[@5oulPower]

Just go for it. A good player can reach Legend with any deck, really... Each player has their own unique style so as long as you find a deck that suits you, no matter what others say about the deck, you'll do well with it. Hell, I reached my highest ever ranking so far with Renolock, at a time when that deck was almost never played and considered not-suitable-for-meta deck lol. "Tier 3 deck," they said.... yeah right. XD I also started building, playing and refining my Jade Shaman deck at the start of Gadgetzan, back when everyone was still riding the Jade Druid hype train. I was probably the only Jade Shaman at the time (I simply enjoyed playing Jade Shaman more than Druid)... Did very well with it. And only recently everyone is starting to switch to Shaman for their dose of shiny, green golems lol. Find a deck that suits your style of play, that you enjoy, and just ignore what everyone else says. :-)

[@5oulPower]

+Monarch Prometheus I tech according to what I find myself mostly going up against on the day so it varies. I tried the N'zoth variant for a time too, which is a greedier version of Renolock compared to the old Leeroy-Faceless combo. The point is I keep all my decks pretty fluid and flexible and they are in a constant state of flux.

[@gideonhan1486]

The Annoying Orange Thanks!

[@austinfletcher6248]

here we watch a video of kripp crying 3 games in a row

[@Baddogymnastics]

I'm supposed to be playing Hearthstone but this one deck keeps kicking my ass..

[@huzzah3234]

What about a tavern brawl with lots of AoE clears and heals, but instead of just doing damage or healing the board, it also affects the health of the minions in your hand

[@TimoCruz177]

What is worst then a broken 1 cost minion? A broken 1 cost spell that makes you win every single control match up

[@boombox1818]

u should try c'thun and jade rouge since u only need blade of c'thun and c'thun himself for tht half and then u can fill the rest with jade cards

[@Jason0binladen]

Mill jade druid? Hello it's really fun to play, and good

[@Jason0binladen]

yeah they only mill once or twice but hey it's fun

[@Jason0binladen]

The bran coldlight oracle combo let's you win because it refills your hand rather than milling your opponent

[@andrewyp6724]

Jason Miller You have the best name. No wonder you like milling, Mr.Miller :O

[@FriedChckn13]

Can Jade Druid beat Moroes + Acidmaw though???

[@francofx]

I fuck**ng hate this deck with all my soul and mind
