Hearthstone: Trump Basic Teachings - 09 - The Long Game (Paladin) [End]

[@NovaGuardian985]

That was a pretty good ending to this series. Showing that even beginner level decks can fight against decks in the top of the meta if you play well.

[@tdog999100]

yeh but once you get to 10th rank the s**t hits the fan, they only get you so far, you need leg cards

[@Fiiischinator]

StrangerThanFiction DizzyTV You must feel like a pro when playing zoo or hunter then.

[@Gyorgfish]

StrangerThanFiction DizzyTV You might want to reconsider this, as Trump also had a series playing on a fresh account in a Free to Play style making it to legend with a bare minimum of cards.

[@tdog999100]

Fiiischinator o.O i play paladin and priest mostly, my priest and mage are at the highest level, im not a fan of rush decks lol i preffer the control game

[@tdog999100]

Cola Flasche how long ago was that?

[@TheStrongestBaka]

I wish i could see that handlock player's reaction on getting beaten by a 0 dust deck.

[@Niitori]

Well said Cirno .

[@casparvanommen]

***** Depends on how well they play :P

[@bryantgoh124jj]

Especially when he got topdecked.

[@OfficialOlue]

2:45 Fearless Hitting 2:55 Board Control 3:21 Mana Efficiency 3:25 Weapons Hold 3:41 Favorable Trading 3:57 Fearless Tapping 5:15 Card Advantage 5:46 When to Face Neat how all of the previous teachings are implemented into this video a bit

[@Luffey1232]

+OfficialOlue thanks man

[@MazorKuziaki]

You should do another Trump Teachings called "Unfavorable matchups".

[@blyjd91]

I second that.

[@abigrocktoday]

aka how to deal with zoo/hunter

[@Zeptinn]

He shouldn't, because that only means you don't understand the basic elements of Hearthstone at a slightly higher than average level.

[@MassiveChoonsTV]

Which is the point of tutorials...

[@spacet1me]

The very definition of Top Decking if I've ever seen it.

[@Seijur0Hik0]

Love your videos Trump, and it is certainly nice to see a Hand-Lock lose to a basic deck, but I can't help but feel this match will be all but inscrutable to a Hearthstone beginner. I think you noticed that too, which is why it is so weird that you chose this match, for this particular lesson video. I think most will be left bewildered and at best, build your recommended deck with little understanding of it.

[@SteelVoltagerpg]

Studied all these videos and some of your others. Went in the arena feeling confident, built a nice deck, thought I had good plays. Went 2-3 in the arena. Highest score ever was 4 wins in the arena. Man, Hearthstone is tough.

[@christophervinci6835]

My best runs in arena were 7-3 and 5-3 as rogue and 6-3 as hunter. Rogue is a very consistent class in arena IMO and mage is also very good. The 3 games i mentioned before were the only times I have very done so well, otherwise I average 2-4 wins lately 3-4. Hearthstone is tough and after playing it since it was released to everyone I still am not the best xD. Practise makes perfect.

[@averykriegel1518]

I really recommend that you just continue to practice and you'll get better. I was absolutely THRILLED when I finally got 5 wins in arena months ago, but now that I'm used to arena and I've not only figured the intricacies of the game, but what classes/decks fit my playstyle, I almost always get at least 6 wins. Good luck and have fun! :)

[@iCraftix]

I went 10-3 in arena once and I was a worse player that i currently am. I never did better and i went like 1-3 the after the run, arena is like 70% or 80% based on luck

[@edmis90]

Ironfists MC yet somehow there are people with average 8 wins per arena who get relatively often 12 wins. Your argument is invalid.

[@SteelVoltagerpg]

Honestly though I've been trying really hard to learn the game and make great picks in arena. Still struggling. Last time I went 3-3 and then 1-3. I can't seem to ever get even to 4 wins again. I did that one time.

[@Lorhin]

Thanks so much for making this series! Watched all nine videos. These tactics and explaining the thought process definitely help Hearthstone newbies like me.

[@Kotertje666]

That must feel like winning a race with a 15yo Honda vs a Bugatti

[@victormirchev4839]

+Kotertje666 :D

[@AColdPotato]

Wow, great job beating that Handlock Trump! Didn't expect that outcome once you came to the conclusion it was handlock.

[@mistervanderveer]

Great consecrate topdeckerino.

[@Mindseas]

Thank you very much Trump for making this series. As a beginning Hearthstone player these videos have taught me a great many things which I was not aware of or did not quite yet understand. I like your channel a lot and wish you all the best!

[@DsLink1306]

Trump your teachings are perfect. Not only educational but also inspiring. I only wish u could watch me play and point out mistakes that i dont notice.

[@febLey]

Thank you very much for this series. After I reached level 23 in ranked i couldn't win any match anymore, I literally had a 0% win percentage for more then 20 games. After watching the first few videos I bagan to win again. And now I'm winning almost every second to third game, with basic decks.

[@otakureiss]

Trump I just wanted to thank you for the series I have been in a slump in hearthstone recently with all the mech mages and meta decks I have had to face at rank 16 and onward, but this paladin deck with a few tweaks just helped me beat a Golden paladin in ranked and helped me win alot more games by just good decisions and board control for the late game.

[@klxroly1]

I'm really amazed how well it went with just using common cards against advanced cards. Plus I enjoy your video teaching me how to play one of my favorite card games more effecient. Thanks for the teaching, I will put it into the test.

[@SawedOffLaser]

While I have only played a small number of matches, I have yet to lose in Hearthstone Ranked because no one seems to apply your principles. Nobody gets things like board control, trading or mana efficiency. I just make sure to keep those principles in mind while playing, and I always come out on top. Thanks for the videos and the lessons man, it's really gotten me into the game!

[@Woodsy2575]

The more you play, the harder it gets

[@SawedOffLaser]

Woodsy2575 Oh I have experienced that much. Ranked is easy to understand, but Casual is inconsistent as hell.

[@TheCephalon]

It's funny watching trump using a free basic deck to take out a guy with at least 3 epics and 1 legendary lol

[@Vargas3499]

Yea I love seeing that stuff

[@gianteeyore]

It has been an excellent series. Gave a lot of insight on all the hero powers, as well as giving good examples of decks with strong synergy. I feel more confident building a deck after understanding the way the hero powers give board control and card advantage, and also find that it is easier to build a deck with consistent goals built around the strengths and weakness of the hero power. Perhaps a series on the different mechanics, such as deathrattle, enrage, windfury, etc, and how they interact with hero powers? My heartfelt thank you Trump!

[@drchris03]

New to hearthstone and I've just watched your tutorials and put it into practice. It has really helped my Aggro Druid deck knowing when to hit face and when to trade. Excellently stuff, thank you

[@alexdewhurst8810]

Thank you so much for this video play list! It is the series that really got me into Hearthstone and I have really enjoyed playing it. This series has also allowed me to beat many players who have spent much more money on the game then me. :)

[@Fungorrr]

Continue this series with advanced tactics with these classes/playstyles in mind! OR a meta-counter class, maybe with something that helps one innovate a deck without completely screwing yourself. Loved this series!

[@NarimanRajabi]

Great series. Now I understand game a lil bit more as a whole. Recommending to watch the whole series for anyone new to hearthstone. Much ❤️

[@1blackwatch]

This was fantastic, saving the best for last. His puny starter Paladin deck beating the Warlock's massively stacked deck was so satisfying!

[@Kablash]

So helpful! Thank you for doing this! As a Hearthstone newb I had no clue how to really play, this changes that! Great stuff!

[@Dracolich22]

Oh my god. Beating handlock with basic deck. Impossible o_O

[@Kold_Turkey]

I thought the same dude. It's like... Complete value.

[@whitelightning425]

That's Trump for you.

[@avrilalien]

To be fair, Paladin is a pretty good counter against Handlocks.

[@whitelightning425]

Bucket Knight Aldor, humility, BGH being run in nearly every pally deck, taunts, complete board wipes despite how big the minions are, BUT OH WAIT, HE WASN'T RUNNING ANY OF THEM.

[@LThalle]

Bucket Knight Paladin is a good counter because they have answers, such as Aldor Peacekeeper and Equality+Consecrate or trading little guys that make them able to easily kill off or neutralize the big dudes that handlock plays. Plus, there's only so many siphon souls you can run in a deck, and most heavy control paladins run more large targets than Handlock can reliably handle. The paladin basic set, however, doesn't really have any of these strengths, which makes it extremely impressive to beat such a monstrous deck has handlock with just basics. But it goes to show: not even the strongest can handle the March of the Guys.

[@NixedTaypez]

Hey Trump, I figured I'd drop this off. As of late, I've been having problems winning, so I looked up your videos, hoping to find ones like this. Now, I know constructed and arena are entirely different play styles, but I implemented the lessons in these videos while playing an arena paladin, and for 3 turns against a priest, I had a consistent one health while he had a remaining 23. I managed to come back from behind and win, using what the videos are teaching, so...thank you for making these awesome tutorials and they really do work if you use them right.

[@GodUd6589]

The other guy must have felt so pathetic, losing to a basic deck with all that expensive stuff...

[@thenukex1268]

GodUd6589 to be fair Trump got pretty lucky. handlock generally runs 2-6 heal cards, 2 silences and 4 taunt givers which is important in this matchup. the handlock player drew almost none of those cards(presumebly) and he got topdecked.give them maybe 10 matches and then the handlock player will probably get most of them if he is just a little good

[@BlazingSky13]

Niklas Hansen pretty much. If Trump didn't draw consecrate, he was pretty much screwed.

[@cormacwolf]

+GodUd6589 and he was handlock XD

[@adribier]

nah, after winning so many games He probably didn't give a shit

[@Balgore8]

Maybe you could talk about what makes cards "good" or worth putting into decks, and what makes card "bad". I notice you use a lot of the same basic cards in all of these tutorials, but outside of just the basic set, you could ellaborate on some really cost efficient, powerful, or otherwise just general "good" and "bad traps" to watch out for when deck constructing.

[@IzayaV]

An incredible top deck at the end there, Trump is always so lucky and positive!

[@fantasynerd6989]

Just made it to rank 19 using this exact same deck. I played against a reno lock, took every ounce of effort to overcome the seemingly never ending health and legendary's. But I won in a similar fashion in this video. Credit goes to you trump for creating this awesome deck.

[@derrickvo9292]

I want to see Prison Trump Teachings- BM

[@RTL2L]

Watched the whole series. What a great job you've done, sir! Thank you.

[@jamesshort8338]

playing hearthstone i always had these ideas but never knew how to use them correctly but these guide are setting me on the right path

[@Bakkefication]

Well done Trump (and Jens), great series!

[@Crafttee]

Please continue this series Trump it's helping me out a lot

[@GrantTV101]

He can't dude xD He already did all 9 important things to keep in mind when playing Hearthstone, just take all these things into account when you're playing, combine them and you'll be sure to win :)

[@bigchubb45]

GrantTV101 note there is 2 more videos in the playlist that are private witch probably mean some extra/special episodes about maybe some other things or just starter tips

[@GrantTV101]

Maybe, but he did say he had 9 points to make and there's not really anything else you need to know, he gave you tips on ALL the classes and gave you 2-3 decks to play with with, also the outro has no more room for the links and stuff so maybe they're something else, maybe not, but I'm just going of facts and word of mouth from Trump. But even if there's 2 more videos, there's not really more after that, so a long continues series, is a no no :P

[@TruePatriot1234]

Just gotta believe in the Heart of the Cards, eh Yu-Gi?

[@Johansen_271]

Great series! It's like watching Sheldon Cooper's ''Fun with Flags'', lol. Trump you rule, we all love you.

[@Tiqza]

This was a really good series Trump, keep up the good work!

[@Dracolich22]

God. Trump. Really cool. So many guides in 1 time

[@dingo1520]

And that's the evidence, that you don't need high profile cards (rare, epic, legendaries) to succeed in this game. Good game sense and the right decision making are all that you need to win most of your games ... all the rare cards can be considered the icing on the cake.

[@MikeDindu]

That's right. A lot of the basic cards are used in even really advanced decks, because well, they're just good cards. Ooze, consecration, flamestrike, mortal coil, all great cards that will never stop being used.

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

yeah you just need a perfect consecrate draw on the turn where you have no other lethal, no minions, and no way to mitigate the lethal he has on you. lol it was literally checkmate and then trump drew consecrate

[@dingo1520]

And what do you want to say with that? In case you haven't noticed that's part of the game. You won't be able to win all the games in Hearthstone, and then again you might win due to top-decking or favorable RNG. Yeah, he drew Consecration just at the right moment. But, as I said before, that's part of Hearthstone's mechanics - or any other TCG's mechanics for that matter. Hence, the same rules apply to the opponent as well. It doesn't disqualify the validity of his deck.

[@AnglosArentHuman]

Literally any deck *can* beat any deck, but that applies no anything really. However, there is a difference between possibility and reliability.

[@nicollasdaher4861]

Nice series, that being said I learned a lot about paladin watching your paladin vs warrior control match ups.

[@ObsideonGames]

been a big fan of you Trump for a long time now, I am trying to become a youtube hearthstone player trying to help others out these lessons are much appreciated

[@qwertyexp]

4:39 That face is priceless.

[@arnoldlardizabal8443]

Trump is not only a gamer but the analyst of games itself.

[@solomonkaufman7326]

love this vid. clutch pickup at the end ftw, against a handlock, perfectly karmic

[@kami12kaze87]

That was an epic topdeck!

[@chukolance]

A very good video, but I don't think it really showed the point you were trying to make. It really is a good video though since it shows that even a F2P deck can beat a meta deck, but the concept you were trying to teach in this episode was "Long Game Control." You were matched up against a Handlock who's best counter is often Rushing them down as you did. IMO, Make another episode with the right focus, but keep this one as a useful showing that a F2P can beat Meta (Consider even dubbing over this one with a new commentary making *that* the focus) Anyways! Thanks again for supporting the little people, keep up the Good work, and GL in arena! (On of the off chance you read this, Keep in mind that the Meta for the arena changed recently with GvG since they didn't add any "basic" cards. There are genuinely fewer "High Cost" commons which were staples in most arena decks you used to run. Consider changing your mindset to draft bigger cards when you see them and adjust your play to counter the Arena "Zoo" of low drop commons)

[@TheEcofreak]

I like how trump calls the shadowflame "a bit premature" when without it he would have lethal next turn :)

[@Necrow_Productions]

Best hearthstone series ever!

[@davidt8700]

Beating a handlock with a basic deck, what a great way to end the series. It shows new players that even if their opponent has expensive cards, just being good enough at the game can be enough to beat them.

[@Rift93]

Just started Hearth about a week ago in between watching you and ADWCTA play all I can say is wow that top deck reach was just silly and a nice way to end the series. It shows that no matter what, at the end of the day if you have knowledge and a little RNG you can win games with anything!

[@daltonforrest]

Thank you for these videos. They've helped me out so much.

[@vladc8937]

The topdeck Lol! Very nice lessons btw, helped me a lot :)!

[@BiGGeSMK]

Trump you have so much skil :) because of your paladin videos i learned a lot from you and i play better my own paladin control deck ;) keep going and thx ;) (sry for my bad english;))

[@SHLim13Xephos]

Now this is what I'm usually what I'm up against (at rank 20 btw). You have my respect trump!

[@GreyShot254]

Basic Paladin is the new meta

[@ImTheSlyDevil]

great last part trump. especially against handlock.

[@FromHJH]

Top deck saves the show!!!! wooo :3 best way to end it

[@MoronicChunk1]

lol a basic deck beat a handlock. thats funny

[@skamaralesso363]

This video shows a pretty good strategy for paladin decks. btw, it`s called the long game, but it`s almost the shortest video of the teaching-series.xD

[@Multi199killer]

It would be great if you continue your series with constructed decks :)

[@jacob-id7np]

i can safely say he's one of the best in hearthstone. thats basically it

[@Azbazzer]

This series is great!

[@bizzyb0t]

Thank you! Your videos are all great! As a long ago MtG player who just doesn't have time to dick around with physical cards, HS has been perfect. I would like if you could do a video on card synergy? Even as a noob in this game, I'm doing pretty good because I've got *years* of deckbuilding from my MtG days!

[@EsquireR]

Not playing ooze before Hellfire was not commented as not overextending before potential board wipe, which would be relevant for the video.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

You know what I miss? Playing Hearthstone. It's been 28 hours since my last log-in as of this posting. We might have broke something. Crazy thing is, Trump's still able to get in and do his streams. I wonder if he's had any trouble lately. It's already getting close to the end of my day, I guess I'll have to try another day....

[@ivorbiggun5886]

Well, at least you have made the first step and identified you have an addiction, you can now begin the healing process.

[@rafaellerescapone]

Ivor Biggun i'll get the priest ready, just one sec... or paladin control? wich do you prefer?

[@ivorbiggun5886]

Shaman with a vitality totem ;)

[@Jgrhymes]

Hey Trump, huge fan and new hearthstone addict. Any chance you can show how beginners should approach arena (or if they shouldn't). I've crafted a few decent decks and have some options but not sure if I should start arena or if it would be a waste of gold at this point. Keep it up!!

[@KarstenOkk]

Wow that was a cheeky way to end the fight

[@kamilholzer2185]

I'd really like to see how to "Build a deck". Based on deck type - agro/control etc. I struggle with this from time to time.

[@hsgod1143]

i really like how your way of talking changed through the series. when you started it felt like everthing you said was scripted, now it seems like you didnt even bother to script anyhing at all, which comes along way more natural. really enjoyed all your videos btw, although im not that new to hearthstone and only happened to stumble across your vids

[@senkaiqf]

Hey Jens, you feel like doing an outtakes video about Trump always trying to get the best possible scenario with each class? I think that could be hilarious. =)

[@Robertiio]

ty trump ur teachings helps a lot

[@angelserrano6601]

Thanks to Trump, I won 6 battles in a row.

[@arkeylol]

It's crazy how the meta has changed so much, today it's all about tempo and these high value plays wouldn't pay off

[@albertm7178]

I wouldnt necesarily think so. Sure, the meta is faster. Secret Paladin (bleh), Midrange Druid and Zoolock are fast decks, but trading for value is still important. But the meta also has a solution for more faster decks, like Reno Jackson. Trading is still important, it is just that most widely used decks are faster when the slower decks (Like renolock and control priest) are slowly fading into obscurity.

[@Kevin-jz2uz]

"The Long Game" yet this video is considerably shorter than the other videos in this series OMEGALUL

[@jasonelmore1669]

please make another video for this , that was the worst match up ever I know long games might be boring but that's my favorite hero and I really want to use it and your the only one that good at explaining stuff

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Not indicative enough, lol. Most Pala control games take well over 20 minutes. :D

[@sn0uzy]

"Well over 20 min". lets not exaggerate here. Most games do not (even pala control) take over 20 mins. Although it happens.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Ok, not most, still, they win by fatigue a lot. :P It's like watching paint dry.

[@JoViljarHaugstulen]

sn00zy Paladin control against Warrior control Hero ability, Hero ability... more hero ability? Yes more hero ability... all the way to fatigue

[@Numbers_Game]

Jo Viljar Haugstulen one of the reasons why zoo and hunters are played. Ain't nobody got time fo dat!

[@sn0uzy]

Troels Petterson I pretty sure that's just you in that case. Most game don't last that long since most don't require them to. A lot rush/aggro style players will leave as soon as they run out of steam and the pala has board control. And if they don't it only takes a few turns to kill them off. Although the ungodly stalemate does happen.

[@rogerhudak]

Dude, I am killing it with this paladin deck! I must be 7-0 so far!

[@keithsauve1222]

That was a very impressive game.

[@Jimey28]

Can we have the GVG games vs Amaz, Jens?

[@Helgyhm]

note that the handlock would've won in following scenario's: 1: jaraxxus. 2: didnt draw into concecrate, neither topdecking nor the use of HoW if any of this accured, the giants would've crushed him easily. yet its still suprising to see a basic deck pushing a handlock down under 10 HP cheers

[@robin6899]

Yeah..so trump drew into some good cards..but thats the game..

[@Niitori]

There are many different situations where Trump could of lost, but what matters is that Trump managed to pull through, with a basic deck . Be it luck involved or not, pulling through already speaks quite a lot on its own .

[@Louey7777]

Note that the Handlock would've lost in the following scenarios: 1: Lord Jarraxus, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion. 2: Didn't use any Giants 3: Didn't use any cards 4: Had DoA in back of deck 5: Never drew into any AoE 6: That nearly another scenario that could (would?) occur. Okay, I am done on the comments. It was fun to watch. Goodnight. Cheers

[@aaronlameox]

holy shit, love the last turn

[@demonmecha]

You da man trump! keep em coming ^_^

[@julien116]

Awesome serie!

[@דכרעררערעעג]

jeeeens I wanna watch trump playing gvg alreadyyy

[@siddmohanty6116]

why didnt he play the swamp ooze at 5:30? Warlock doesnt have weapons right, so it would have been worthless as a battlecry and he had he mana

[@avreox]

+Flaming Katana he knew enemy was playing handlock, so ooze can counter a possible lord jaraxxus play

[@DusanMadzarevic]

Also the warlock used hellfire next turn, the ooze would've just died

[@horuz927]

that was awesome xd every lesson was in the last one + win with a basic vs handlock i mean he didnt play thaat well but still its funny very nice series

[@Kidwhix]

I have a sea giant card, should I replace any of the cards in trump's deck with it, if yes, then what card?

[@TheRealbemok]

Great serie. Sadly the game shows nothing of the explanation you gave us. Maybe a match up against a control war where you slowly overwhelm him with the recruits while you control the board with equalities and stuff. Cause that more a win thx to a topdeck than of a slow but inevitable board control

[@IgorMartinsSpecail]

justice demands control, stall and retribution!

[@vanishy0urself]

What would you be doing if you hadn't topdecked Consecration at the end? The two 8/8 taunts looked pretty dreadful and difficult to deal with.

[@atlun1010]

same, I'd like to know the answer to that too.

[@guuu881]

+vanishy0urself I believe he had two Consecrations and one more Hammer of Wrath, any of which could have won the game. Had he drawn a different card, he almost certainly would have lost. I actually think his best bet in that situation would have been to Hammer of Wrath to the face and hope that the card it draws gives him the two extra damage (though if that failed, he wouldn't have survived to see the next turn).

[@E0011]

+vanishy0urself You would Hammer of Wrath the enemy face hopiing for another Hammer of Wrath or Consecration.Otherwise you lost because you faced a really slow control deck who established control

[@dimant35ify]

Jens ,will you upload the game between Trump and Amaz? Please ^_^ ...

[@dougputhoff]

Great series, but where do we go from here?

[@feeding_ear]

Hey trump, can you upload a video on how to buy GvG packs?

[@dekuknight2058]

HOLY SHIT!!! My face...when you won! o.O

[@tassisbass]

[@matthias_245]

Hey thank you! But I am a little confused... Did the standard decks changed since 2014? I have all different cards in my standard Paladin deck. Can you explain?

[@MsHuricana]

You forgot most important step, after winning you have to WELL MET! :D

[@LastRealViruz]

Normally I'd write something like "Oh man, what tremendous luck!" but let's not forget that it's still a card game which is essentially always bound to luck. So I guess the only thing there is to mention would be: Aw shite, you go girl.

[@Zipeed]

Last turn it would have been better to play the silverhand champion bringing him down to 1 health, as you would have had a guarunteed kill next turn with hammer?
