Is it a giant Shiro or a tiny Kibler though?

[@MINECAT3]

doesn't matter, still fabulous.

[@Skullhawk13]

In which we find out Brian is not in fact a skilled hearthstone player, he just is a master of RNG, and alternatively gives his foes great boons or crushes them, as the whims of the giggle monster that is him. ((Just kidding BK, luv you))

[@yaboi3426]

plot twist: the other guy has control over the universe and is stream sniping

[@TheCookiezPlz]

Trying to play around yogg is like trying to play around shredder. You kill it before playing cards and they get mana wraith. You kill it after and they get doomsayer. Playing around one yogg state is just playing into another. Nothing you do matters. Free will is an illusion.

[@MTT563]

I think you mean "Hope is an illusion"

[@AfsalDjearam]

What I loved the most is how you were talking about predicting and playing around RNG events/characters and then you actually do it in the same game haha.

So great. Thanks, Brian. Gotta say: The shot of you riding puppy Neverending Story-style is the bomb. Gotta make a movie of that, man!

[@jonh.668]

Hi Kibler! Big fan of the videos and I wanted to share my version of the list. I mix in the n'zoth theme as a finisher. All you have to add to make it work is a sylvanas, cairne, and n'zoth. My list is a little different but I believe I'm running only 1 book wyrm, 1 ivory knight and I dropped the keeper. Rezzing Tirion is already pretty nuts and sylvanas is just a great card. The cards that get cut aren't really helping your aggro matchups enough to not warrant the change but the n'zoth package adds a ton more threats vs other grindy dragon decks that are running around as well as flat out control decks. You slam n''zoth down vs some decks and you flat out win. Just thought I'd throw it out there!

[@x10018ro]

Looks like Kibler is secretly God.

[@leonid1995]

That's heresy. God is secretly Kibler.

[@DIMOHA25]

Fun fact, if everying went the same way, but he coined out a recruit on turn 1, he'd win the game on turn 9.

[@MrYomaaaan]

Sorry Brian, but I disagree with your opinion on Yogg. After having lost a ton of games, in which I've been ahead the entire time while keeping in mind to limit the board in case of the inevitable Yogg, I beg to differ. Yogg just allows you to throw spells around on the board and Yogg on 10 for extreme value. It doesn't matter whether I've had card advantage or board advantage, Yogg comes in and brings crazy amounts of value onto the board with a bunch of draw, clears, and value added (things like casting 'Thoughtsteal' 'Burgle') Yogg was fun at first, and it's always interesting to see it being played, but now it always ends up with me feeling disgusted by the loss. Not even losing to aggro is comparable to losing to pure RNG.

[@Aknilox]

I was playing deathrattle priest and I had lethal on board with 3 minions. He had 3 cards left in the deck,made like 20 spells.Topdecked yogg saron,clearing my board,dealing 26 damage to my face. healing him for 6 and putting 5 more guys on his board. I had board clear and next turn he topdecked fireball... İf I did anything like him I would draw at least 5 cards and die to fatigue.

[@2011carp]

you got your opinion based on your continuous losing? that just makes you a salty player that attacks a card for being "OP" maybe once you hit legend a couple times and make it high in tournaments, then you can sound reasonable. "I lost so many times to this card, so this card is op" is not a valid reason

[@collaide]

Anecdotal evidence at its finest

[@MrYomaaaan]

2011carp Yeah, exactly. But isn't all that you read an opinion at best? If you want facts then one has to do a proper research taking into account hundreds of games. Yeah, it is MY opinion on a card in a game, you might have a different view of it. So, instead of telling me that all I'm doing is being salty and how i don't have the right to express a view since I haven't "made it into a tournament", which by itself is an incredibly narrow minded manner of looking at things, why don't you make counter arguments? And I just re-read your comment and realised that you didn't even address the issues I had with the card.

[@javierescserr1520]

as +Brian Kibler has stated, those case are outliers, most of the times Yogg saron kills the board, draws some cards and play some secrets while dealing damage with bias towards enemy, he is a 10 mana spell that requires a deck build on spells and on certain way him being so powerfull is what enables those kind of decks that are pretty intersting to play and see, since they requiere way more than play on curve. Its a card game and has inherent RNG in the draws, we could argue that losing to perfect aggro opening is also bullshit luck, while yogg keeps building his win condition towards the game.

[@TheOobo]

That is the best argument for yogg and other good random elements I've heard. Great work Kibby.

[@Nyctophile-_-]

oh gosh, this little Kibler riding Shiro mount is so adorable :D

[@ioris8363]

Hey Kibler, do you have a personal video editor, or do you edit your videos yourself?

[@bmkibler]

+Sizar Ghassan my wife Natalie does my video editing

[@Ydoaaaa]

+Brian Kibler is that his wife Natalie talking about herself

[@bmkibler]

You can never tell, since we're both always logged into this account!

[@eternaleclipse4943]

+Brian Kibler ahh. I'm so confused. xd

[@alakazoom87]

How'd you convince your wife to let you become a streamer?

[@chriskarpetas]

Yogg reduces the game essentially to a coin flip. You play it and the game is reset, putting you at a 50% chance to win/lose the game. You could have played perfectly, the opponent could have played abysmally and then get carried by Yogg. That one card simply destroyed the competitive scene.

[@MrElionor]

More like a Dungeons and Dragons dice roll also if it was actually guaranteed to reset the game and gave you a guaranteed 50% to win it would be a lot more powerful but unfortunately it's a hell of a lot more dynamic then that under different conditions it has different chances of success sorry if you can't understand that and have to reduce it to the most basic levels of RNG and did Hearthstone destroy the competitive scene?

[@michaelryan1767]

Do you have zero understanding of statistics and probability?

[@KiloShank]

Unless you realize what yogg does and play accordingly unlike most scrubz. 10 mana random spells isn't as 50/50 as you think. Just keep progressing and you will figure it out.

[@Thegenerator100]

Most spells favor the player that actually played Yogg

[@benjaminadler2001]

+Draiel Hearthstone I don't care if it's balanced, it's unfun. It wipes the game clean and disregards any skillful decision making made before the Yogg. I don't care what kind of coin flip it is, but it's still a coin flip.

[@Nosbled]

That's just insane. This is why I love to watch you play, Kibler! I felt like somewhere in the middle of the game you maybe could've started going for the face (2 truesilver + concecration alone is 18 dmg) to put pressure on him. Even if he'd use Harrison it wouldn't help to save his life. I might be wrong though:)

[@bubbli9798]

Hi Kibler, i really love your videos and streams and i have a question. I dont have Tirion or Ragnaros, Lightlord so what are good replacements for them? I thought maybe Ysera and Nefarian would be ok but im not sure.

[@MaZanLappis96]

Tirion can't be really replaced with a similar card so Ysera would probably be the really good. For Rag maybe Alexstrasza if you have her.

[@bubbli9798]

Yeah my Problem is that i dont have Sylvannas and Ragnaros and both of them are really good Legendarys i want to have so Tirion will have to wait a long time.

[@Immor7alBG]

if you get a lot of control matchups yes, but if you feel you are going up against more aggressive decks you might want to just tech in more early game proactive plays

[@MrJaco94]

maybe lay on hands to replace rag?

[@bmkibler]

Chillmaw and Alexstraza are reasonable substitutions, or one and a Forbidden Healing.

[@northmen5876]

I've been waiting for this, thx for making my friday better!

[@henrywesterman493]

I like Yogg. It is a fun element in a game where lately, all I'm facing is decks designed to curve out and face attack 100%. The problem with Yogg (and most RNG elements) is that people remember what f***ed them over what... basically did nothing or what won them the game. People remember (and hate) the times where Yogg gave the opponent a call of the wild, cleared their own side, and then buffed Huffer for lethal rather than Yogg being played at fatigue and using 3 draws that killed them. I do, however, find the "RNG bad" argument interesting. It's a card game. I can lose to RNG in a million ways. Deck order of draw (why is Syl always after N'zoth?)... Lightning Storm being all 2s after a healing totem on an empty board... like RNG exists in this game. It always will. Almost no deck building will circumvent that and... Remember, that one game where you lost to a ridiculous Yogg might be someone's furst ridiculous Yogg and might be the reason they keep playing and help keep the game alive and kicking with more new stuff tomorrow, next week and beyond.

[@Gi0kay]

I agree, but Yogg's case is different. Yogg by its very design effectively almost invalidates the entire game leading up to the Yogg. In fact, more often than not, a Yogg will not only not make you lose the game, but seems to have an average positive outcome from the most desperate game states. In the end it seems to boil down to "When you play this card, roll a die. If you roll 1 or 2, you lose instantly. If you roll 3 or higher, you win". If Hearthstone wants to have ANY semblance of a strategy element in the game cards like that, especially on ladder and in tournaments, are quite simply unacceptable.

[@Bakamojo]

I disagree. I remember both and it feels cheesy as hell when I'm being totally outplayed and I drop a Yogg and win. Three or four shot glasses is a good time 40 and we'll be attending your funeral. RNG is good but there is such a thing as too much of anything and Yogg is way way too much. Brian's defense of Yogg is weak and almost sounds like he's on the Blizz payroll. There are things you can do to effect Yogg? The same can be said about most RNG given the right circumstances. So what? It's still way too much RNG.

[@TheFrizor]

[@anaximander4589]

day9 is a really bad player. People watch him for his personality rather, than his games.

[@brandonking3976]

Hyber blue Incorrect. Day[9] screws up just as much as anyone else. It's just that the decks he runs aren't optimal. Anyone can take. A brain-dead cancer Shaman or Hunter deck and win 40/50 games. That doesn't make them a good player.

Hi Brian! Huge fan of yours here (even more knowing you contributed to one of the tcgs I played and enjoyed the most - Vs system)! Always like watching your videos and istening to your insights :) Actually I have some questions for you if you wouldn't mind eheh Have you tried the Elder Scrolls Legends?

[@DWZBT]

Shamans were never balanced. They were either broken or unusable

[@highsoflyify]

Totem Shaman pre-WotoG (but after Grand Tournament) was payable with Zombie Chow, Totem Golem, Tuskar Totemic and Thunder Bluff Valiant. Aggro Mech Shaman was also okay

[@iandakariann]

+highsoflyify totem shaman was far from a decent tier. I'd put it at dragon paladin level, pre kara. aggro shaman worked though but shaman was trapped to just going face with it

[@Cyberbeni]

Hi, could you change the FPS of your stream to 30? The video is getting artifacts when there are a lot of changes on screen because your bitrate isn't high enough (yes, I know that it's the highest Twitch can handle) and there is really no difference in 30 vs 60 FPS for Hearthstone. You can check it out from 5:40 when you use Truesilver and Consecration. (It looks the same on Twitch, it's not a youtube issue)

[@mephi5t0]

I am noticing the skip in the video right before he says Flamewreath, there is a blur and skip in his face. Why?

[@phozonn]

[@eliabonfardeci2604]

are you playing in EU or NA?

[@jackwinterheld4335]

On topic of Yogg: Competetive should not be decided by RNG. As Firebat recently mentioned, when top ranked players have their matches decided almost completely by random effects, that's not a game of skill, it's most certainly a game of dice throwing. Yogg is way too unpredictable for Hearthstone currently to qualify as a competetive game. Like, dude. Look at Trumps most recent uploads. He had a game with mage that completely flipped around only because of Yogg, and Trump basically had no way to play around it. You have a way to counter almost anything, when you build a deck. Heavy control? Hard removal and value cards. Board presence midrange? Boardclears and good removal. Aggressive decks? Concede(lol) Yogg? Eh... Guess - not playing the game?

[@ScaryScarab21]

It's a card game, random effects are part of the game and always should be.

[@nemtudom5074]

If you were talking about a game like csgo you would be right. But card games are dice rolls at their core and taking that away would make them incredibly dull.

[@Eon2641]

Yeah, random effects are fine, cards that basically up-end the table are not. Yogg's effect is so powerful that, when you look at the two extreme ends of his spectrum, his card text might as well read "Battlecry: flip a coin. If heads you win, if tails you lose." and that's crazy unbalanced. Kibler's right that there are things you can do to play around more moderate Yogg's but sometimes playing him just literally wins a game in an unwinnable scenario and that's not very fun.

[@nemtudom5074]

Eon2641 Its balanced.

[@Eon2641]

nem tudom That is clearly not balanced. A card like that means that you can win from literally any position, it eliminates all skill going into it up to that point. If you think just having RNG is enough to do that then you have no idea how card games actually work. Or RNG in a competitive setting, for that matter.

[@hohoho479]

do you see many players have every single card golden i rarely ever see them just mostly youtbers

[@imcriticizer]

Although I think Yogg is an extremely overpowered card and should be adjusted, I keep reminding myself that it's a deck that encourages players to try other decks that make matches last more than 6 or 7 rounds. I love control decks and it's the only thing I play with in hearthstone. Before yogg it was either agro paladin or aggro shaman, but with WTOG, it made it a lot more possible to try out fun and stupid decks. Yogg is the second deck/option that aggro players like to play when they're bored of shaman and it makes me happy because you CAN counter it if you have a good control deck.

[@dragan4324]

Yogg comes down to this: is it OK to have a card that says: "Play 10 mana for a %30 to make the opponent instantly concede"? Because this is what Yogg basically comes down to.

[@exaltedrobin]

your math is so bad... people like you ruin good things and all because you were unlucky at some point.

[@dragan4324]

What's the correct math, then?

[@E0011]

90%

[@TheSquareOnes]

Yogg is really, really bad these days. Just look at how many spells end the battlecry and the number of valid targets for those spells, that's the chance that he basically fizzles. Then move ahead one spell and do it again, that's the chance that he fizzles after one spell... but you also have to look at whether that spell did anything productive, because many spells that don't end the yogging still aren't beneficial to you. Repeat this process as many times as necessary. I don't know what the percentage chance is that he just instantly wins the game on the spot, but it's low. Really, really low.
