[@MrMockRock]

"He'll run out of gas soon." _Murloc deck plays Lay On Hands_

[@REALwoombath]

*Always Sunny in Philadelphia theme starts playing*

[@Edzter]

"I'm not gonna use a truesilver on a 0/4" > uses it on a 0/3 that also gives the opponent armor

[@Darestine]

He had to at that point, he couldn't put the presence on the board enough to clear it before enemy's board got too big and he wanted to play the 3/3 legendary.

[@Edzter]

it was only 1 turn, his argument was 'my minions will deal with it eventually' what minions? the 1/3? That weapon swing was gonna happen one way or another.

[@Darestine]

"eventually" "minions" he's gonna play minions and 0/4 is not threatening.

[@Edzter]

and you expect that to stay that way? what a dreamer

[@Mets1661]

i think it was a good play, 1 armor doesnt matter in this matchup and taunt warior have surprisingly lot of taunts so he could have better target :)

[@scottkemp5335]

40:10 that moment of realization over 3 seconds was *GLORIOUS*

[@xySuperManxy]

I feel like he should've seen that coming. It's a priest with no obvious win mechanism that drew all the cards in the world early on-- of course it's combo.

[@K1ll3rbl4d3e]

isnt it a missed lethal at 10:00 ? he could have used Equality, trade the 4 4 Go face with Tirion for 8 Play pyro and the 5 spell get the weapon Go face for 5 win

[@TheDhork]

Yeah indeed, nice catch!

[@WINTERGRIFT]

Didtrumperinomisslethalrino Trumperino

[@tokemon9607]

Ankastra i was gonna comment that, darn

[@moviemike44]

Wow nice catch. Stealth lethal.

[@L0LWTF1337]

Are you surprised that Trump after talking about not attacking the 0/4 and almost overdrawing a second time also misses lethal?

[@yaerius]

maan, I missed midrange paladin. I remember playing muster for battle with quartermasters. good times... and this version seems also pretty good.

[@TeslaStrike]

"He doesn't have enough money for the quest" *Proceeds to play against a fully golden deck*

[@arturom31]

And until this day, i hate people that play those decks because they thing that having it all gold will grant them the win. I can't remember how many times i have beaten a golden deck

[@Juan_DeSantis]

Thank you Jens. I always appreciate an unexpected explosion effect. Those make chuckle everytime for some reason :D

[@lucianflorinfeier3672]

At 40:01 I thought: "Oh, the video is almost over. The Priest probably realizes that the game is kinda over since second Tirion and stuff." I was expecting a concede and then... BY THE HOLY LIGHT!

[@jerodast]

As soon as that music starts you know something horrible is coming haha. God bless you Jens.

[@hurotiz]

im really happy your showing these kinds of games! in a meta built around quest rogue and everyone playing taunt warrior and aggro decks in order to counter it, its nice to see a creative deck like this one being played. keep up the good work!

[@blasterdude3]

*GETAWAY KODO INTENSIFIES*

[@Kurlum]

40:11 That was the moment Trump finally understood that this play wasn't just a joke. I love it. Nice editing.

[@benjamincoons3719]

"His deck is smaller than mine"

[@Jeff_the_ApocalypticGameCat]

*so much smaller*

[@michaelthepsycho]

"How is he lasting?"

[@TheSteamSnake]

Love you Jens! Your editing makes those videos a blast to watch!

[@IcyShredder14]

Love the editing at the end, Jens! Keep up the good stuff :D

[@Sanjarih]

Another top notch editing job...cheers Jens

[@redcardsteam1594]

These thumbnails get weirder and cooler, I love it. Keep it going, Jens.

[@zsenya1293]

This deck is so powerful!Thank you,Trump!

[@gilad-drori]

It's great to see that Trump plays decks that he builds, doing the science for us. Thanks Trump.

[@JustStef018]

Superb editing at the end! :D

[@BE-fw1lr]

that thumbnail holy shit XD

[@FeamT]

40:01 Might just be your best edit yet, Jens.

[@KuroroSama42]

9:00 I think it's because "+4 attack during opponent's turn" is the tag that gets added to the minion when it's played... then another tag was added to "set attack to 1". The 2nd tag applies after and overrides the first. This is opposed to a "+4 attack" tag being added and removed repeatedly. If that were happening, then the new "+4 attack" tag would take effect after the "set attack to 1" tag. That also explains the earlier "set attack to 3" tag, taking effect after the "+2 attack during opponent's turn" one.

[@Wolffman-gs9so]

The tar lord interaction is that when your turn starts it buffs itself when you turn ends it debuffs so when you set its attack to 1 you remove its buff but next turn it reapplys it

[@remosobadly]

love the editing at the end

[@jerodast]

I just watched like 4 videos so I forget if it was this one, but I'll go ahead and compliment Trump on his cheesy turn-of-the-millenium lyrical references with "I want to get away..." and one other I already forgot but maybe Eminem "Guess who's back? Back again?"

[@erti655]

the thumbnail art made it clear it wasnt the pally video i already saw where trump was the rider. in this video he is the kodo, totally different

[@Ichabcde]

35:26 turns out Paladin has burst Also, that ending of the last game was hilarious with the editing

[@Sasha-lg1ln]

thanks trump for experimenting with these decks :D

[@dominikbaron4785]

I think the reason why the attack of the creeper stays the same is that his effect is so to say a permanent spell on it. So if you cast a other spell on it that also changes the attack value, it overrides it's own effect.

[@MrMakae90]

The editing makes it so more funny

[@liberphilosophus7481]

It sets the attack to 1 because modifiers work in sequential order, not all at once. Because the debuff modifier was applied after the "buff" modifier (+4 attack on enemies turn), the de-buff modifier takes "priority" (although all modifiers are still being technically applied, just one overrides the other.) Blizzard can easily fix it by placing the modifiers in separate lists, or apply "exception" modifiers to the same modifier list. (IE: Modifier set attack to 1 = No If Modifier (add four attack during opponents turn) = yes))

[@Klaital1]

Man the ending of that last game was such trollden moment.

[@francescosciarra5101]

the warrior had all golden fucking card!

[@counter-]

That ending. I love seeing you win and lose. Either way, something is learned.

[@KanyeWeast]

please keep up with the amazing thumbnails

[@neksmckeks4923]

Trump, out of all the decks you've tried in Un'Goro, what is the best one besides Quest Rouge or one that can compete with it? With all of my extra dust I want to try some new things, is Midrange Paladin worth crafting Tarim and Lightlord?

[@1KevinKlein]

I love the thumbnail change :D

[@Mike-gx1dw]

Disguised Toast went over it, the tar creeper not getting buffed isn't a bug, Replacement Effects (I.e Tarim) get applied last. So it changes from a 3/3 on your turn to a 5/3 that is then turned to a 3/3.

[@javiergallardo2969]

Someone can tell me what soundtrack uses trump in this video ... plis

[@sttate]

36:28 is the best turn 2 I have *ever* seen.

[@ArgentumEmperio]

10:00 Classic Trump misses lethal... Solution: Equality > Send the 4/1 into the 2/1 Taunt > 8/1 Goes face > Wild Pyromancer > Stand Against Darkness > Tirion dies and gives you a 5/3 weapon. Costs a grand total of 9 mana to do and opponent takes 13 (ends at -1 Health) damage.

[@SydneyWu]

Trump, I think it is not a bug. The rule that the attack +4 during opponent's turn is overridden by the rule to set attack to a value of 1. Meaning regardless of whether it is opponent or proponent turn, the second rule will still apply.

[@jerodast]

The question is whether it's supposed to override. I can see two approaches. For both of them, remember the rule that later effects are supposed to override earlier ones. What seems like it SHOULD happen (4:54 then 7:54): 1. Attack set to 3 by Tarim. 2. Opponent's turn gives +2 Attack = 5 Attack on that turn. 3. Back to 3 on Trumps, back to 5, etc. 1. Trump's turn triggers other guy, Attack +4 to 5. 2. Aldor sets to 1, for a bit. 3. Other guy takes turn, then passes back to Trump. +4 triggered, back to 5. What HAPPENS: 1. Creeper enters play with one enchantment worth +0 sometimes and +2 other times. 2. Tarim sets it to 3. Trump passes turn. 3. Because Tarim went after Creeper enchantment, Tarim supercedes it, even when the Creeper enchantment effect is changing. So it gets +2, but Tarim still is keeping it at 3 "afterwards". 1. Other guy enters play with "sometimes +0 sometimes +4" enchant. 2. Aldor sets to 1. 3. Other guy takes turn, passes. +4 mode on enchant kicks in, but Aldor's "later" enchantment supercedes it and keeps it at 1. It's a question between triggered effects making/removing a new enchantment each time, vs a single ongoing effect that shifts between modes. Either one makes sense, but I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard changes it since people seem to expect it that way.

[@owiseone1]

He doesn't play quest rogue in either video for this deck. How does it do against quest rogue?

[@C1rcu]

what could i take as an alternitive on the ivory knight?

[@Vase0I0]

i love how he laughs about the murloc deck, while he struggles to get legend and strifecro plays it with a high winrate in high legend :D

[@DarthTyranus926]

I think the reason the interaction works the way it does with sunkeeper and the tar creatures is because of the word "set" When a minion's attack or health is "set" to something, it stays there unless otherwise buffed or reduced, right?

[@josephcamp7245]

I just got another hearthstone ad but I only get them on Trump's videos

[@thewind92]

What is the music in the background? I hear scratchy violins or do I have tinnitus? I think I first started noticing it at 11:00

[@mitchell6575]

Hey Trump, what cards do you recommend instead of rag and Elise?

[@robinhugues4748]

What about changing Elsie into Black Knight ? I haven't got Elise, so I went into BK, and that's great actually !

[@Dadbod007]

Is it the slower meta that lets this deck do well or the stegadon and tar creepers?

[@zedisilluminati9449]

What can I substitute for Elise, Tarim and Rag?

[@AnimeVampire234]

tar creeper is suppose to be a 7/5 with the rogue quest but it doesn't i found that out when i was testing. which is total BS since... it clearly says "Has +2 attack" on their turn

[@Musicon14]

Omg, that ending was great

[@derfuchs3296]

So why didnt the Kodo trigger in the first match as he attacked the Bloodhoof with the Recruit?

[@RayRMT]

that "hehe if he kills me.. Oh my god he is going to kill me D:" lol

[@Poifix]

Is this deck worth crafting? Having a hard time finding a good deck this early in a new expansion.

[@tyrdu85]

That eminem touch was welcome

[@Fakerulez707]

I really hoped that the Tar Creeper humility wasn't a bug because I love Paladin. #MakePaladinGreatAgain

[@noneofyourbusiness3288]

14:26 you should try control/midrange rouge. I played 5 packs against a priest. (Elise, 2 Shadow Caster, 1 Mimic Pod and a Manic Soul Caster I got off a Cabal Courier, I got with Swash Burglar) Ultimate value !

[@finnkenyon1289]

that bug has in some cases been fixed and in others left alone throughout history, it is a problem with almost every attack gaining minion and paladin humility/stat fixing effects. Sometimes they change it, like with stb, sometimes they dont. No idea if they will fix it this time.

[@YourPrivateNightmare]

i think i can explain The Tat elementar interaction. the Minion is Coded to have two "modes" that activate in Their respective Turns. These modes aren't buffs, Just alternative stats. therefore in your Opponents Turn The tar Guy becomes a 3/5 Base stat Minion which is why it bedanke a 3/3 after tarim and why The tar Lord didn't Go Back to a 5 Attack after waiting a turn. his Defensive Form simply remembered The debuff and kept it

[@catshot4261]

6:35 Did he missplay by not armor upping? Not 100% certain, but pretty sure sulfuras does refresh your hero power.

[@ToTeMVG]

holy crap that priest fight

[@Evo_Lotus]

this deck is fun to watch :)

[@dracohydra]

11:19 "Yo nigga, iv got it" -hydrologist

[@DASCSWEM]

Hmm, well played.

[@clowndogstation4979]

Chu say?

[@tomf3345]

10:00 you missed lethal there xD equality, trade with 4/4 , 8 dmg to face, wild pyromancer and the 5 mana spell, attack face for 5 dmg :D

[@LeadByFaith81]

This Deck is good against all top tier decks, however it is dependent on the starting pull from my experience. Plus I subbed Nerz for Rag.... Can't afford Rag yet lol!

[@davidorians9178]

What is a good replacement for Tarim?

[@Purr-Monster]

"I'm such a control freak." Holy shit, he is self aware of his terrible habits.

[@samwisegamzy]

DonFabres 100% had lethal right at 30:30 ? 1/3 into 3/1 then hit face with 5+3+ spikeridged steed +1 =11 hp

[@explosivealanli588]

madness combo works so well against trump because he likes his 1/1 guys so much

[@affaawww]

is that deck better than curator proto drake pala?

[@TripleTrick3]

that miss lethal at 30:28 his opponent had to kill his tyrion against aldor then buff one of his minions and he would have 6 (from the minions) + 5 (from the tyrion's weapon ) = 11 (Trump's hitpoints)

[@Cibbip]

trump is back, tell a friend

[@MrZombieexpert27]

I wonder if that priest at the end streams

[@smoerebroetxd]

Opponent missed lethal 30:30 Cast Spikeridged Steed on 1/1 and go face as well as with 3/1, kill off the Tirion on the 3/1 Peacekeeper, face with Ashbringer. Trump HP 11 (-3) (-3) (-5) -> 0

[@marclewis2327]

Hey does anyone know what deck tracker trump uses???

[@psykovideos]

it is made after in the edit i believe

[@squatchjosh1131]

I guess if tar's effect counts as a buff, then that's why peacekeeper works. A buffed minion's attack is moved to 1 even with the buff considered so I guess peacekeeper's effect just has priority.

[@squatchjosh1131]

But then again wouldn't the buff be reapplied every other turn? So I dunno.

[@charliewatson4324]

What deck tracker does trump use????

[@laufendlich]

28:40 wasnt pyromancer + concecration not a way better play there?

[@blacksky755]

10:00 missed leathal : equality => attack with the horse ==> smack face with 8/1 tirion =>Play pyro => stand against darkness ==> smack face with ashe bringer

[@TheSnorlax7]

Trump: "If he kills me... hehe.... OMG! HE'S GONNA KILL ME!!" XD

[@ninehills42]

10:00 Missed Lethal: Equality->kill Bloodhoof Brave with Ivory Knight->Send Tirion face->Pyro+Stand against darkness-> Kill face with Ashbringer

[@osav.]

5:11 Made me laugh irl.

[@benthrasher9739]

20:42 was that a breaking bad reference?

[@Xkely2000]

Edmond Dantès Sure was, bitch!

[@MrHogzor]

Hahahahahaha That last game tho xD

[@Warclam]

"[My deck] is just a _little_ bit greedier. Wow, Dinosize!"

[@trevorstillson8126]

I watch trump because I'm too poor to afford hearth stone

[@superkill6267]

Trevor Stillson it's free

[@robotzombienazy]

"Free"

[@djtheo831]

"Free to Play is just an illusion created by the strong for the weak xD" -Alarak

[@curlyray33]

LuL

[@rotika3332]

If u actually watched trump you would know he has many free to play decks created from scratch with no money. Ive done it just need to play more for your gold

[@NakedJack]

"His deck is so much smaller than mine" "How is he lasting?" - Trump 2017

[@RothurThePaladin]

Yo bro I heard you like Getaway kodo with your Getaway kodo.

[@sirpendergast1575]

TRUMP MADE A BREAKING BAD REFERENCE AT 20:40 I'M SO HAPPY

[@AIpuchino]

dirty rats is amazing vs quest rogue, you need it

[@emircanozturk8345]

is this deck still good without lightlord

[@B3tterTh4nU]

Why not "The Voraxx" in this deck?

[@omgidkwhatimdoing9626]

expecting third video where you are both the steed and the rider in thumbnail now

[@PuttiaMDotADayS]

In that pick from warrior he got choices 0-2, 0-4, 0-7

[@BigMuskachini]

I want to build this deck, but i'm short on dust. Only card i need is the new pally legendary. I regret crafting the shitty hunter quest now.

[@TheBaxounet]

lmao I crafted the hunter quest because I saw a website recommending it... So many ragrets..

[@evertime123]

I wonder how it does vs quest rogue

[@eelshark12345]

I used this deck on a quest rogue and I won but it was very close. You pretty much have to just hope that you get all your taunt dudes and they don't get their charge dudes.

[@4230Steef]

THE MAD MAN
