Hearthstone: Trump Cards - 152 - Part 1: Trump Casts Wooden Sticks for 2 Mana (Shaman Arena)

[@Tododialisimo]

The second game... Trump again proves to be a Zen Master. I would seriously punch a hole in my monitor.

[@InterjectionVideos]

Some of you may remember my controversial opinion of unstable ghoul were I called it out in the comments section of the most recent iDraft video as a terrible card (and that I would have picked the razorfen hunter over it). Well, this video sort of shows why I dislike the ghoul so much, there were several occasions were it could have been potentially really bad for Trump; particularly at 11:14 but also throughout the video generally. Yes, Trump did get particularly unlucky at 11:14 and that that isn't really representative of how ghoul will perform overall but it still goes to show how bad it CAN be. In my experience it's only good on turn 1 with coin, 2 or 3. Outside of that, the 1 damage it deals to everything can be really quite annoying/bad since your opponent can utilise it just as easily as you can (perhaps even more easily since they get to play responsively against it on the following turn with 2 extra manna they didn't spend on a ghoul). Obviously you'll try to avoid playing ghoul into a bad spot like any other card but this video is literally just my experience of ghoul experienced through Trump.

[@albertyu3000]

The unstable ghoul is mainly only run by warriors in constructed, due to their large amounts of things that need to be enraged, and because of frothing.

[@albertyu3000]

Also, razorfen is a terrible card, the 1/1 basically doesn't even count as a card, since it is immediately removed, along with the 2/3. You do see unstable in high ranking warrior (warrior that isn't control), but you never see razorfen under 20.

[@daswolfman]

Dude, forget frothing, no one runs that past rank 10. It helps get draws from acolyte and armor from the smith, that's why warriors like running it.

[@Elementroar]

It's highly dependent on the class. Unstable is damn stupid to run in a Pally deck, and nearly has the same issue for Shaman, but at least most totems have 2HP and there's the healing totem. Unstable needs to be comboed and that's why only Control Warriors tend to use it - activate Acolyte, Armorsmith, buffer against aggro and early game before hitting the mid-late Legendary bombs. In arena, you can't reliably combo at all, and a solid 2/3 or 3/2 played in that same turn would have been better. Opponent might run their 3/2 into it BEFORE putting down their next card anyway; or worse, they can combo it with their next card if it needs to enrage. So unless it's a lot of aggro, Unstable doesn't do anything more than a regular 2-drop does.

[@FioFiorello]

daswolfman Math warrior is a legend deck that revolves around Frothing Berserker and Warsong Commander.

[@andyourself]

Always love a shaman Trump Cards… how he manages to pull of the totem tango/cult master decks always amazes me!

[@EyeronOre]

11:20 - Warrior Misplayed, If he ran the Murloc in First then the Berserker would have 1 more attack since the Ghoul took 2 damage instead of 1.

[@TacticalGI]

yay, jens started uploading 1st part last, now I can fall asleep to the playlist

[@patricknoronha1687]

It's confortable to watch your work Trump/Jens. Keep up this amazing show. Love ur videos guys :)

[@MJ1284]

27:30 "Alright Snake, it's up to you" 27:48 "Snake? Snake!?? SNAAAAKE!!!"

[@uzasenase]

That juggler was legendary haha.

[@Onmur]

"That was an error" -Calbonia, who then proceed to commit a truly massive error.

[@SpiritChiller]

I swear, Mad Bomber and Knife Juggler are a gift and a curse at the same time lol

[@Matt-ry5xj]

Jens, you misspelled "survive" at 10:46, what a missplay.

[@Malacite]

That 2nd game is exactly why I can't stand playing Hearthstone anymore compared to MTG. Sadly MTG is not F2P -_-'

[@billywright2184]

MTG? sorry i just have never seen that before.

[@Thought39]

Billy Wright Magic the Gathering.

[@Stormsurgez]

Magic literally has both dice rolls and coin flips in the game...

[@daswolfman]

If you think you can play higher level hearthstone without spending any money, I got news for you bro.

[@25manorpark]

daswolfman You dont have to on the game, but on travel and stuff yeah. I have not spent a dime on the game but am high rank legend

[@iamoverthisusername]

C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1. Han Solo: Never tell me the odds.

[@VerbotenDonkey]

This video name hahaha. Love you Jens.

[@lukewithann7256]

this guy really stands out doesnt he :D

[@Catangerine]

The description as well xD

[@Itama22]

As it seems World of Warcraft got rid of some Abilities with the new Patch, so, will Hearthstone keep the Cards as a Memorial now? ^^ (R.I.P. Rockbiter Weapon)

[@VazulWolf]

Bloodlust has beem removed in cataclysm yet the shaman still has it in hearthstone.

[@olmstranger]

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. Doesn't that also include the games that came along before WoW? I could be wrong, but I've never heard it said that Hearthstone is meant to only be references to WoW canon. For example, Bloodlusts sound effect is from, what was it again, the first or second Warcraft? It's been awhile so I don't remember.

[@andy16005343]

Vazul orly? Bloodlust removed in cata?

[@redsox999233]

Vazul you sir are on drugs

[@NARUTOSADEMON]

redsox999233 DONT DO COKE IT MAKES YOU SEE SOUNDS!!!

[@Ricochet1665]

Elephants Guide Me

[@lukewithann7256]

xD

[@tharrock337]

14:16 felt like payback for the double knife on leeroy trump once got. so sad.

[@Desregaurd]

You failed to pray for the favor of RNGesus that second game and it shows.

[@RhapsodyPlays]

Wooooow, that second game was absurd.

[@innerfire2399]

30:40 Was that miss lethal? He could Ancest the Flametongue, and it would come up on the right side, buffing that 1/1.

[@innerfire2399]

OH god, i got confused by that card and recarnate... my fault

[@BCsongs]

Why did he heal the gnomish instead of the shade around 27 min?

[@KJlegend18]

Dark Cultist is such an overpowered card. A 3/4 for 3 is really good. A 3/4 for 3 with an insane deathrattle is unfair.

[@elijiahbartle4433]

It actually isn't that much of an "insane" death rattle. Plus that's like saying River croc is an overpowered card because its a 2/3 for 2 mana

[@TH1SMACHINE]

I know you played MTG in the past trump hope you post some it would make me a happy demon :)

[@markhill4395]

Does anyone know if I could replace questing adventurer for undertaker?

[@3Mach1n]

What's with the locked mana crystal?

[@lukewithann7256]

26:55 wouldn't it have been better to attack with the shade and then heal it?

[@lukewithann7256]

and then he takes 8 to the face to save that same gnome :P he sure likes his gnome doesnt he

[@Mineboost]

Luke with an N 2/4>8 health most of the time.

[@EyeronOre]

Mineboost Not true, health is a resource and on average 1 hp = 1 stat. So 8 health for 6 stats is usually a bad trade off.

[@Mineboost]

EyeronOre Such science :)

[@aethertech]

The more fails I see with Mad Bomber, the more I'm convinced it sucks.

[@Hemlocke3]

Bomber is either one of the best value cards in Hearthstone or the worst life choice you have ever made. Works well when fighting Divine Shields.

[@marcustulliuscicero5443]

Unless it bombs a Raging Worgen or something of the field, Sweet, sweet bomber.

[@AkoozabHombres]

Then you're really dumb.

[@ToriRocksAmos]

Bomber dream! To me the bomber is the pinnacle of hearthstone: Retarded RNG ♥ ♥ ♥

[@lkjkhfggd]

I find he throws the bombs how you want them to way more often if you give him a little prep talk before playing him. :P

[@AkoozabHombres]

The link in the description is wrong.

[@HardyWiz]

Why not chose Gadgetzan over Cobra when you're so stacked on 3 drops? Also Gadgetzan tends to be good in shaman as you can pick up cheap spells.

[@KuroroSama42]

23:00 Cult Master + Ghoul Send the 3/2s into the 4/6 and the 1/1 into the 5/5. Cult Master drew 3 cards already and is hidden by a taunt. Then, if he kills your ghoul, you can fire elemental the elemental and still have the Cult Master to deal with his play. Worse case, he silences the ghoul and hits your face... you can either send the ghoul and fire ele to kill it or just the Cult Master. It was probably the better play, though very slightly riskier.

[@thegamingpro9128]

14:22 Jens, that is too much :P

[@FirdornLP]

TOVE LRUMP!

[@CraftBelgium]

Where is the timer and stuff :(

[@matkoplan]

Why didn't he use the shattered sun cleric on the cult master in the first match? It'd put it out of unstable ghoul's explosion range and thus potentially draw more cards.

[@DarkAngelZz59]

Bomber only failed because you didn't have faith and didn't play him before

[@ItalyFPSPlayer]

Put your faith in the bomber!

[@tallatini549]

sylvanas into ancestral spirit into baron rivendare into reincarnate

[@AkoozabHombres]

Into Kel'Thuzad :D

[@Yfr28]

Mana.

[@AkoozabHombres]

Yfr28 He didn't claim it would all happen during ONE round.

[@osmium6832]

27:56 Trump decides to trade 8 life to save a 2-4. And yet he thinks pit lord is a bad card! I understand health is a resource, but i think he overvalues his minions on occasion.That's kind of like playing a 0 mana card that had the text: "take 8 damage, summon a 2-4 with charge and draw a card" It'd be OP if you could do it on turn 1 or 2, but less so later in the game.

[@LoudMutes]

That second game was so painful to watch. RNG was out to kill Trump.

[@smashenYT]

how about you upload the parts in the right order? thanks. part 1 goes online befooore part 2. if you did not know this..

[@KidGacy]

this is part 1....

[@SpiritChiller]

KidGacy What he's saying is, if you go through the videos, you see part 1 where part 2 should be

[@QBiggie95]

what if i told you that the internet world sometimes makes some uploads come faster than others? I'm sure his intentions were to upload this first, but he did both at nearly the same time. Besides... kinda strange to complain about it.

[@Kruse123]

You dumbass, just appriciate Jens doing a ton of work on the videos instead of complaining about meaningless stuff, that or fuck off.

[@evank7926]

John Woods i would chalk that up to youtube processing probably

[@jhdthomas4854]

is patient assasin a good card?

[@abdullahahmedt]

It should be a 1/3 for it to be actually good

[@5MARTIST]

Whoops jens spelt survive wrong at 10:46

[@timon12355]

why nerubian egg is worse then questing? Even without activation its secure your board again aoe that shamans hate especially

[@Subosi]

When he was playing against the paladin (at 3-1 win-lose) wouldn't it have been better to run the gurubashi into the silver hand recruit first to develop him? He wouldve missed 2 damage that turn, but 1 more damage over the two turns. Would've caused him to have lethal next turn at least.

[@blazerider6]

Out of the picks, I disagree heavily with acolyte over Silvermoon guardian The only way trump can activate it himself is unstable ghoul/bomber and he can only buff with 2 shattered suns, which wouldn't be a great play on turn 4. It puts out weak board presence with diminished chance for 2 card draw and even at the time of picking trumps 3s were looking high. Shaman's also not like paladin which an abundance of good 4 drops. You can only rely on neutral minions for that slot. It does have some value because you can play it into a likely aoe turn from your opponent and spend mana without losing much, but it's too weak in other situations IMO. I also would've probably picked the Egg over Questing. Trump had very few low cost cards to buff questing and while the activators were slightly below average (still decent), egg also has value as anti-aoe. Anti-aoe has extra value in shaman as it's harder to clear totems and prevent table-flips from an ahead (but not winning) board position.. PS: 28:30 - could've saved 1 damage on the fire ele by rockbitering the totem and using that to attack spectral instead.

[@BarakielAvius]

Shaman What happens if you have all the four totems and call a new?

[@joao_silva679]

So demolisher is good, balanced or crap?

[@marcustulliuscicero5443]

Imho a bit on the bad side of mediocre, it's a very slow card.

[@Godygamer1]

The thing with Demolisher is that it for 1,its a 3 mana 1/4 which usually will not be able to kill a 2,Nevermind a 3 or above drop,Its effect is completely random,its got chances to just hit the hero and not even hitting the Enemy minions at all Overall its as described above by Marcus,a very slow card which can turn good if it lives for a few turns,but it shouldnt be rellied on If your however faced with choices like Murlocs,Watcher,Young Priestess,and sometimes Pint Sized,then Demolishor will most of the time be the pick

[@Chaotic4Neutral]

In arena it's decent, but very situational. I'd like to see a "just for fun" rogue deck with 2 demolishers, 2 knife jugglers, 2 masters of disguise, 2 conceals + a bunch of good low cost minions that preferably spawn more minions (haunted creeper, harvest golem, maybe even Hogger)

[@jordino60]

I would attempt to stay away from it since it only helps if you already have board control. But its not the absolute worst pick.

[@Venomine95]

One demolisher on its own isn't that great, but with two, you can fuck shit up.

[@gibbonsplays8706]

Do you think that they would add unique dialogue conversations between certain characters, such as Garrosh and Thrall; Anduin and Garrosh;... And Jaina and Garrosh... Oh my god, every single one of those unique exchanges would be The world vs. Garrosh... (But if they add DK someday, Uther and Arthas would be one of the ones Id love to see.)

[@toughie73]

THAT KNIFE JUGGLER CAME TO FUCKING WIN

[@HoHoTacoBaco]

14:15 this is worth Troll Den :D

[@Corrupted]

Just a random constructed comment passing by. I FUCKING HATE ALL THESE DEATHRATTLE DECKS, THEY ARE SO ANNOYING.

[@FXK24]

I recently made a 'Miracle warrior' deck that draws cards and uses weapons until it can get a lethal combo like Raging Worgen + Charge/Warsong Commander + Inner Rage/Cruel Taskmaster And it kicks deathrattle's ass 'cause it just goes for the face

[@lukewithann7256]

at 18:00 i was screaming: POLYMORPH POLYMORPH ITS A DUPLICATE :P but i guess it didn't matter

[@thediethrower1803]

Dark cultist is so OP a 3/4 for 3 that has a AWESOME death rattle... he needs to cost more possibly 4 or 5

[@eserafasi]

5? WDF

[@thediethrower1803]

more 4 but still all and all he is one of the strongest of his cost bracket even without the death rat

[@georgebennett1110]

Is trump in buzz on please recomment

[@ImtheNorris]

Never seen so many 3s on offer lol

[@TheOberknecht]

gotta be one of the most unfortunate arenas ever :D

[@CallMeLebowski]

OMG Trump you drafted it bad !

[@iunary]

i hope trump has a subscriber who is called "addicted to value" ^^ or "Valueaddict"

[@raywvc]

at 19min what is Trump doing with killing the giant? playing around a secret or just BM-ing? if so, then this is the first time i've seen Trump BMing lol

[@Michie1004]

Guess he thought the secret might've prevented lethal, which made killing the giant a better choice than just going for the face. He couldve checked first tho, but hey, i guess thats just controlly habits.

[@ThatAsianAlien]

OMG that second game

[@ImTheSlyDevil]

well played. =)

[@MrBjeun]

most of the time, it works every time

[@ARNAR321]

Loooooooool the knife juggler

[@bityjimy1]

Sniperino at 14:10 This game is so troll sometimes.

[@ParryDox]

Hmm, it seems that most of the Knife Juggler plays that Trump tried to make were misplayed as he didn't make his chances greater.

[@Mathutor]

It's not a misplay, just hilarious BM

[@Mathutor]

It was a joke...

[@Blueanimekat]

I hate at 37:31 I think it was, when people know they've won and they prolong your death by sending in minions that won't kill ya or play cards when they can just hit you with one hit and end it. It feels like they're rubbing it in lol Just me? Maybe I'm too sensitive...

[@directfader]

this game is incredibly frustrating because of the damn RNG

[@TheJeffrysama]

I had almost the same mana curve with the paladin a few days ago and i went 11-3 xD

[@Joram647]

Did the same with a mage with a similarly weird curve. Sooo close to geting 12-2, but the last guy top decked ftw

[@TheJeffrysama]

I was close to get 12-2 too but the last guy have a crazy warlock deck, in less than 8 turns i lose

[@SpiritChiller]

At least I'm glad to be here early

[@Nyara_cc]

4% *trollface*

[@Scionofgreyhaven]

Picked Darkscale healer over Whisp and Shieldbearer Kappa

[@oniuserjh]

that fucking knife juggler such skill very bm

[@justinsmith5169]

14:15 yet more evidence of RNG ruining this game.

[@pR1sooeem]

first? wow, thats my first time, im so excited

[@ctsaustin]

you'll say the same thing about sex

[@SmeltedPorkchop]

Austin Saman i'm sure he'll be first there as well

[@TheLitinz]

Austin Saman I beg to differ..

[@JaziB]

[@Chaotic4Neutral]

Death by troll juggler

[@smurfBuggery]

The minute he doped the juggler I just knew.

[@Ki65360]

got what he deserved for topdecking that lightning storm

[@ModernVince]

Trolden!!!

[@tobi888100]

Trump, I challenge you to pick the worst card in each bracket and see how many wins you get. Can you get 12-0? ;O

[@calvinli9151]

He's tried before, went 3-3. The video is called something like "Trump gets the sickest draft."

[@defrte]

The RNG is real HAHA

[@3Hotdawg3]

Trump's card drawing RNG seems pretty good but his other RNG seems to be pretty crap

[@Gerishwin85]

I don't complain about Trump he is my Favorite streamer currently, however him picking the Worgen infiltrator over the Farseer or even the brewmaster is agitating to me. Specifically because of how much trash he talked about minions with 1 health in his arena draft guides. He just seems to skip over his own advice for no specific reason. According to his guide either of the other 2 were better options.

[@simao135789]

Trump loves worgen because of its stealth ability, the reason 1 health minions are bad is due to the great amount of classes that are able to deal 1 damage, but since worgen has stealth they cannot kill it, and it often trades with a 3/2 or even a damaged 4/2 or 5/2 in the late game if you end up drawing it late, so its usually useful for 1 mana, unlike many others

[@Onmur]

Damn terrible demolisher :S

[@weebsharpie6975]

take 8 damage to save a 2/4? thats value :v

[@evanhruskar]
