Hearthstone: Trump is on Fire (Mage Standard)

[@Thomi92]

This is a very fun deck to watch. More please!

[@Llamanator_]

Surprised to find you here.

[@brolee6830]

yes i agree. love to watch you give shamans "The Business."

[@MrMakae90]

A Shaman giving up. Oh, that was very satisfying.

[@switchingtime]

Seemed like he was sniping, too. Or he just gives up waaayyyy early since he has no idea what's in his opponent's hand

[@MrMakae90]

Carlos Murillo the opponent could anticipate Trump's move if he/she knows the deck archetype and can read his past plays well enough. Yet, there is always that chance that Trump did not have the specific cards required to assure a victory. However, since staying in the game just to make sure Trump actually can guarantee a win is virtually costless, I'd have to agree with you: this was a very impatient opponent, or he was snipping. If he was indeed snipping, this victory was even more satisfying, since the Shaman lost even with cheating. Anyway, Shaman just got nerfed. The meta is about to change again.

[@cameronbreeze6918]

He still had to break block, if a mage fireballs your face it is safe to assume they can kill you over 2 turns, I would never concede myself but its pretty grim.

[@switchingtime]

Lucas Balaminut I mean, this isn't exactly a popular archetype, so unless the viewer is a Trump watcher I'd be surprised if they were familiar with the deck. I don't like to assume the worst of people so I'm not saying he was sniping, but if that's not the case it seems like he got really worked up and just bailed with a lot of health left. Trump had a perfect storm of cards, you know? But yes, I agree that things are gonna change with the new nerfs. Looking forward to seeing some more balance.

[@MrMakae90]

Cameron Breeze agreed

[@BorgusBingo]

Trump is on fire Your meta is terrified

[@TheCookiezPlz]

Trump pls. They just announced the nerfs to aggro shaman and you're already giving people ideas for a new aggro deck.

[@emperordrip5494]

i know

[@HamStrokers-Ejacula]

When did they announce nerfs?

[@TheCookiezPlz]

UmbraKnight Today.

[@HamStrokers-Ejacula]

TheCookiezPlz Just read the changes. Kinda sad about Yogg, seemed a little unnecessary considering he makes like an emo kid and kills himself most of the time.

[@pooppantsmckenzie]

this deck isn't too bad. if you have any healing you're pretty much favored to win

[@ChristopherJohnsonIsAwesome]

33:51 the sniper gives in to the pressure.

[@GaussNine]

I really like the feel of this deck. It's very exact with its plan, and seems like one of the more skill intensive decks, especially compared to recent decks. It's got clear strengths and weaknesses--It can reliably deal 30 damage before dying, but due to its very precise nature, it is weak to even minor amounts of healing. I'd be willing to say this is a beautifully crafted deck that shows what Hearthstone can be, even if people will hate on it because it's "aggro."

[@DogeDog0]

This is probably one of my favorite decks to watch. So much math to do in a single turn.

[@yourleftoe.]

Trump: "I'm gonna abuse that finly so hard with my acolytes hmm"

[@AnacondaHL]

Gotta hand it to you Trump, you play this deck extremely well. It suits your strategic strengths rather than being tactical like most aggro decks.

[@TheLordHighNoob]

"This is Value Mage." "NO! THIS IS VAL-ET MAGE!" *kicks the meta*

[@rocier]

this woulda made a good F2P series

[@Pickelman007]

yea lol i can actually afford this deck

[@JonnyTHM429]

Need to replace valet though. That's in the 4th wing of karazhan.

[@Pickelman007]

that whole point of the deck is the valet though :/

[@Pickelman007]

well the tipping point to beat mid range shaman

[@JonnyTHM429]

Pickelman007 I agree.

[@slendeaway7730]

Will this deck die when LoE goes out of rotation or is there a suitable replacement for torch?

[@kramstrebor2235]

I don't get the percentages o.O are they right? 12/3 isn't 80%.. it's 75%.. Right? Or is there something about the counter that I'm missing?

[@Octavianus2]

Jens/Trump due to occurance of freezes, what do you think about adding "skipp freeze" button like skipp the draft? ;) thx for responce and Ahoj from Czech republic ;-)

[@hughmungus2192]

What's with all the video freezes? They never use to be this frequent.

[@sayftarek9326]

that druid game was so well played good job trump

[@TheTankExperiment]

how do you get the thing on the left side?

[@Meekle58]

This deck is currently being hated out on EU ladder. Just had a druid healing with Sir Finley and running 2 Moonglade Portals, and hunters running Flare to break my Ice Block. Also had Eater of Secrets played against me whilst setting up the kill next turn...

[@ctingg]

What deck tracker does trump use?

[@BunnyChamberX]

Any replacement for Doomsayer?

[@hannabelphaege3774]

I love that you can make a viable aggro deck with just masses of spells

[@Lolsalad102]

you mean like the y'sharaj(something like that) hunter deck? 28 spells and two minions

[@BlazeTaleo]

Lolsalad102 except that deck isn't good

[@talontension]

why not put in coldlight seers for the coldlight oracles?

[@NecromanciPottamus]

The point of the Oracle is to draw.

[@aaabirb]

coldlight oracles are only for draw

[@felixw6552]

its not for draw at all. Its for the great 2 2 body...

[@connorliddicott2076]

Thought Rogue was an arena only class?

[@jonathanmoran582]

Which decktracker is he using?

[@Jhawks4LIFE]

I don't know why but i find this deck fun to watch. Although, is it really considered an "aggro" deck? It seems more combo-y to me.

[@mixedsalmon]

28:30 That zoo deck obviously runs 2 soulfires, so if trump drew frost nova he could lose. He should have valet'd last turn. The chance is pretty low, but still.

[@mixedsalmon]

Nvm he mentioned it later.

[@r3negade47]

I really like this deck. It's aggro but it actually takes a lot of skill to pilot. Also it beats all the other midrange and cancer decks and loses to control. This is what a HS aggro deck should be.

[@Tristanschofield]

does this deck still work?

[@MrSayko77]

So the last game you probably got ghosted, right ?

[@AnArmyOfFish]

The thing about this deck is that it's deceptive. Because most decks' wincon is based on minion combat and this deck has little-to-no minions, it makes the opponent assume that they are winning until the very instant that they're dead because they cannot possibly play around all of the burn in this deck.

[@RickyMuzakki]

It is called fun and interactive

[@Taqweeeeeto]

Am I a noob for thinking Yogg would be good in this deck?

[@Eon2641]

Just out of curiosity i went to check my collection and I'm missing only 4 cards to make this deck... guess I better get saving to get those valet's, the thalnos and doomsayer aren't _that_ important... right?

[@IcaroMendonca]

Yes, they are. Arguably, Thalnos is more important than the valets.

[@Eon2641]

Icaro Mendonça Well just judging from the games I've seen Thalnos has played a roll something like a quarter of the games, where the valets have been important in like 90% of them. Similarly I think he only played the doomsayer twice. I mean I would obviously be better off with Thalnos but he could be replaced by kobold geomancer without hurting the deck _too_ much. I'm just guesstimating but I think it would be the difference between 70% and 80%, where the valets are basically 50% and 80%. I know, geomancer sucks, but he's exactly the same as Thalnos in terms of cost and spell damage... you gotta make do with what you got lol.

[@thorbendepauw6757]

why not use cult sorcerer?

[@miyokio]

the card draw from thalmous is what makes it just that bit more essential than cult sorcerer, seeing as this deck is just about getting the right cards in your hand and card draw is essential for that

[@Eon2641]

Thorben Depauw Because I forgot it exists, mostly. ***** This is true, but in terms of replacements it would be very difficult to find something that satisfies that requirement when you already have every other low-cost card draw card lol. Also, Thalnos' other reason for being here would be left unfulfilled if he was removed so... yeah.

[@SmartThis]

the mathematical mastermind

[@Josh-fi8sf]

The guy who Trump plays at 17:50 YiSuo Probably plays league Yi and Yasuo Has Overwatch cardback probably plays Genji and thinks hes good Plays Zoolock Wow I really hate this guy.

[@oscarlarsen9096]

lol spot on

[@EDoyl]

Yeah I hate that guy He's so rude and leaves straw everywhere he walks.

[@onjimana]

lol calm down xD

[@icixgnujr.4520]

Lol, that comment won youtube... Good job sir. Aand, my bet is that he is the kind of scumbag hwo would write "EZ" even though he didnt do shit the entire game.

[@xTonicWaterx]

This Deck is REALLY GOOD in the current meta, but i played with and against it and it looks like its incredibly hard countered by control Warrior, especially C'thun warrior. The only way this deck wins against Warrior is if you get Mana Wyrm and Mirror images without them having a combination of Slam ghoul and executes to deal with it.

[@UnforgivingEnd]

That last shaman stream sniping so hard holy shit. I've never seen anything this just in this world!

[@ieuanhunt552]

I still don't get why people stopped playing Dragon Priest. Can someone inform me?

[@lc_7885]

Because Dragon Warrior is a strictly better alternative for ranked play, as i is more successful against other decks and against Dragon Priest itself

[@ieuanhunt552]

Lia Cueto I just find it strange that people complain that priest has a bad curve when in the last game I played I went 1 mana 2/3, 2 mana 2/4 Taunt, 3 mana 3/5, 4 mana 4/6 taunt, and so on. No deck that is capable of doing that is bad.

[@ieuanhunt552]

Lia Cueto Good point

[@aaabirb]

any deck wins with god curve

[@1who4me]

Try dragon priest now. MSoG gave it some really good cards.

[@diabolick197]

what's with all those frezzes jen !! i demand an explanation pls

[@frodom2005]

I want to use this deck but who can I replace bloodmage with

[@taliesine.8343]

probably with a cult sorcerer or another loothoarder

[@thorbendepauw6757]

theirs already 2 loothoarders in this deck

[@amiragahi]

Corrupted loothoarder! But if you put in that card you've clearly lost the purpose of loothoarder in the deck.

[@megalul4141]

This deck is the standard version of the magic mirror deck

[@lookwhatudid5095]

can I run only one ice block?

[@jacobmiller234]

no

[@M0torsagmannen]

i mean, you *can*. but 2 seems really good in this deck

[@Eon2641]

Judging from the games I've seen I'd say no. This deck has no healing, ice block is going to be the only thing keeping you in the longer matches so you can't afford to not draw it most of the time. Removing one would also indirectly hurt the valet, which is kind of a lynchpin of this deck.

[@onlyicedgarrett7791]

Running only one ice block tanks the consistency, not only is the block itself super important, but you need to trigger Medivhs Valet.

[@lookwhatudid5095]

Question has been answered thanks!

[@kalil2669]

Why not to put flamewalker? ( i know that is worst than cancer but still)

[@Spartan0430]

the deck is more about precise burst than board control. adding in flamewaker just increases the curve and you have to sacrifice some stall, card draw or burn. it probably wouldn't be awful but it doesn't fit in as well

[@RickyMuzakki]

Oraclee in place of flamewaker for massive draw

[@assassincr2198]

Trump, if we don't have Thalnos what could we use instead?

[@thorbendepauw6757]

cult sorcerer?

[@assassincr2198]

ty

[@jacob_power]

Does trump have a golden rogue yet?

[@TheStrongestBaka]

Trump is a genius if he can play this deck that well. I like it a lot but dropped even from rank 10 with it. Could be the meta difference but it's very likely that i'm just bad.

[@cameronmiller6240]

TheStrongestBaka it's a hard deck to play don't be so hard on yourself, also the meta is different at rank ten you'll run into more healing and random stuff at that rank.

[@GlaceonBM]

I gained from rank 12 or so to rank 6. Then again, Freeze Mage is my favorite deck.

[@bestLetsplayer]

Will he ever try wild?

[@theaamanable]

No because wild is a stupid cancer fest

[@bestLetsplayer]

But "I´ve got the beast in my sights"

[@Spartan0430]

because standard isn't also a stupid cancer fest. Wild ladder doesn't give blizzcon points and standard mode is just more relevant right now.

[@drakem394]

lmao all these people crying about "aggro" mage have you even watched a game ? its just a freeze mage with better early and no late game its not cancerous at all .

[@ihavecrabs56]

people think anything that wins before turn 13 is agro lol just ignore them

[@koshi6505]

It has nothing above 4 mana and it almost always favors face. It's an aggro deck.

[@smithly-fgc]

You know what normal freeze mage is, right? It almost exclusively favors face and it's one of the slowest decks in the game

[@aaronh248]

this deck loses to any early minion deck that has any sort of healing. a dragon pally for example would annihilate this deck.

[@adamy6775]

Aaron H and whose playing dragon paladin? O.o

[@dashieldmasta177]

Chris Pont considering nerfs and this deck, as Shaman scales down early tempo to play for a longer game while still having board, midrange decks (not "Midrange" Shaman) may become more prevalent, meaning Dragon and Malygos decks will see play, as well as possibly C'thun.

[@DeityBladeGaming]

Dragon decks sure, but not dragon paladin. that decks awful

[@MrMockRock]

But if this deck ever became meta defining, Dragon Paladin would counter it and therefore see play. Science!

[@DeityBladeGaming]

MockRock - Smash Bros and More There are a million better counters that also counter other stuff though. Thats like saying Majordomo mage was top tier because it countered Control Warrior

[@stephenpepper511]

You're Hero's terrified?

[@luismarquez3416]

This deck is definately INTERACTIVE and FUN

[@zedek_]

That joke at the start was a real knee-slapper.

[@samir6642]

PRAISE BEN BRODE. The guy who finally took a look at (almost) all these broken shaman cards: www.hearthpwn.com/news/1756-upcoming-hearthstone-balance-changes-shaman-hunter Ok maybe not even almost all of them. But hey, it's something.

[@CharIesMarteI]

Edroil is s

[@certifiedgyrltheinnocentgo5115]

yogg sucks! >:D

[@borredDead]

They just did what they thought reddit wanted them to do. The value of just watching Yogg far outweighed the effects if the RNG on that card, and team 5 probably knows this. They've probably just assumed reasoning with reddit is impossible at this point and thought they had to change yogg to give in to reddit.

[@volbla]

borredDead Or they're balancing their game.

[@pollyphemeus]

just read the upcoming nerfs. Anyone else think this will only make things worse?

[@Minandreas213]

this deck looks incredibly fun

[@ericappolonia6924]

Somewhere in this world, someone probably got cancer just from watching this video.

[@sabbathgodsofmetal]

I feel like this deck is so disrespectful. Hit my face, I have Ice Block. Fill the board, I have Frost Nova. Kill my minions I don't give a shit, i'll just draw my whole deck while putting 2 3-mana Fireballs in it in the process. Oh you're at 24, you're dead because I'm a Mage.

[@StandardTrickyness]

why doomsayer? isn't this an aggro deck?

[@demersplaylist923]

aggro freeze

[@StandardTrickyness]

yeah but the point seems to be early tempo deal some damage then iceblock and draw into direct damage pretty much tempo mage with 2 extra lives

[@GlaceonBM]

Doomsayer helps you not die. Same thinking as Ice Block, really.

[@icixgnujr.4520]

Its kinda simple. YTou encounter a board you cant outrun with spells. Freeze Doom... If you find yourself in an early game disadvantage, DOOM to regain control of early board. Its kinda nice to make way for your Murloc/Mage/wyrm minions. You would just be stupid to play any one of them against shamans 3/4 totem in turn 2 you know.

[@bodbyss]

27:10 There are no worthless cards in this deck!

[@1finchgreen]

secret hunter wipes its ass with this deck i love getting refuled by cold light as I'm out of cards on turn 3 with cloaked huntress

[@Rooku_Spooku]

anyone else dying to see trump make it to legends rankings??

[@alejandromatosanguis5267]

I remember when Trump was a pro... When he got rank 2 legend with midrange paladin

[@markettrader6548]

he was number 1 few time

[@BlazeTaleo]

Alejandro Matos Anguis he got top 50 legend a couple months back, tbh if he really really tries he can get it

[@dancinindadark]

Frickin agro freeze mage. Cripes what has this game come to?

[@Mysterialic]

Didn't he see the Rogue used two Shivs already?

[@sophistacatedman248]

This deck actually look really fun

[@arcengal]

It's kinda strange that Trump doesn't have golden Jaina when it's the most commonly seen golden hero on ladder.

[@MrDoggysmut]

there was a time when he liked to play very much pali

[@francobfmv]

mulligans for this deck?

[@DobleDGaming]

This deck is awesome. Seems hard to play tho

[@cobaltstar_8281]

Why does trump never overkill?

[@Magnaliscous]

Wow, that greedy druid. If he had only marked the non-stealthed raven instead of the tiger, he would've forced trump into an uncomfortable position where he couldn't attack face with the mana wrym. Just goes to show small plays add up.

[@98misse]

Makes 20 shitty decks before realizing that netdecking is the key to victory

[@alejandromatosanguis5267]

Well, the ones who post the decks need to make 20 shitty decks before realizing what is good. Science

[@Xirbtt]

rjdilla confirmed sniper

[@jujukenobi7801]

Wow a face deck that requires some thinking. Good to see something new.

[@mikakohanpepperoni8859]

Didn't have Thalnos so i put in Flamewaker : )

[@abbott790]

This deck is awesome and yu play it expertly Trump! :)

[@icixgnujr.4520]

Oh damn. tried this deck out myself. Its insane :D

[@Ohnonoki]

MAGE META INBOUND

[@tacky187]

Thank Tom for this beautiful cancer.

[@Khazaboom]

Excuse me Mr Trump you are on fire.

[@Northhax]

sniper no sniping

[@icixgnujr.4520]

Im gonna make another comment. Its completely insane :O Easy to calculate, and easy to kill with. Only lost once so far, and that was imhumane bad draws

[@gaoshanr]

21:27 trumps says 80%. -.- does u even math bruh?

[@joesherlock5932]

It's Wednesday my duds

[@borredDead]

It would be hilarious if Trump played something like a RenoNzothCthundragonaggrocontrolsecret deck, like just lump put as many cards from as many fancy decks together as possible, put them in a deck, and give that deck a ridiculous name. He should bring that deck into high legend and just drum it up as the most OP deck ever. Then he should call all his losses "Variances." I would watch the shit out of that video.

[@ackbarreserve]

Fun&Interactive™

[@relyks286]

14:28 Trump, dirty??

[@LiiChinHo]

Wow what an early concede by that last shaman. Pessimistic shaman life.

[@blob_cancel_aftercast]

Probably a sniper.

[@gorrillawarfair]

wasn't necessarily a sniper. its was pretty clear what trump was trying to do. and he fail to pop the iceblock, meaning trump had at least 2 more turns to hit his face with spells and find the second iceblock

[@Exantius9]

Man, this deck is too diegusting, I can't even continue watching the video. So this is the "fun and interactive" gameplay Blizzard's goind after with all the nerfs to combo decks? Fuck my life

[@garblgerble848]

It's an answer to the current meta. Any reno deck that draws reno in time will wreck this deck. Control warrior should wreck it consistently. Token druid that uses feral rage for armor will usually win. Ivory knight alone is enough to counter it in any paladin deck. If shaman switch it up and add in some healing, they'll be able to win. This deck is basically Rock in a game where 80% of the players choose scissors.

[@TheSuperrrtomas]

If this dominates, play control. Forbidden healing, Reno, Justicar trueheart are all GG against this.

[@Exantius9]

I don't think it's op, I just think the playstyle of the deck is just as nasty as with any OTK combo and HS devs are being hypocritical allowing it to remain strong in one form or another since beta while saying combo decks can't exist because "fun and interactive"

[@jonathanmoran582]

So early i found my life again

[@Stelz77777]

wow smorc mage

[@TankP0wnz]

This deck is bonkers.

[@FeamT]

This horrifying deck + The upcoming nerfs truly mean that we're on the cusp of an actual _NEW META_! Or at the very least, 3-5 less decks flooding the current Meta. that'd be nice, too.

[@TheSuperrrtomas]

This deck is countered by any deck with heals, which includes control paladin, warrior, priest and shaman. I hope this deck will be good against zoo, because we might finally have another control meta (and priest could actually be decent again).

[@FeamT]

Open your eyes So what you're saying is this deck is countered by Warrior and BogChamp. SeemsGood!

[@teamparadoxalpha8820]

So even Mage has been infected with aggro.

[@certifiedgyrltheinnocentgo5115]

but handlock hasn't :D

[@RickyMuzakki]

Tempo mage was a thing, and its never been called aggro. This is just freeze mage with manawyrm and mirror image so stfu

[@vedanthk7528]

well then

[@renanborelli6885]

The Yogg nerf wasent needed

[@Zyotomir]

some pro players complained about it saying it makes tournament unfair and a joke

[@renanborelli6885]

Radoslav Kostadinov that was the good part,clean and clean the board,because there are so many deathrattles now

[@renanborelli6885]

#PRAISEYOGG

[@tylerorr3851]

kibler did a video on it, saying the problem isnt really yogg but how yogg has become this thing that is hated by everyone. Even pro players have started saying they would win because of the rrng gods (yogg) rather than actually being good at the game.

[@Zyotomir]

Renan Borelli Agreed, but they could just make spells or minions that clear it 2-3 times.

[@Saiyza]

Since everyone wants to copy Trump's aggro rampage, I can get all my Priest quests done~

[@Bolizen]

Lol 6:00 Trump vs Tacos

[@Poifix]

Cuz we really needed a new cancer

[@kkokay4]

This deck will never be tier 1 because it is easily countered by any deck with reliable healing. Its just a super strong anti meta deck right now, and its far more skillful than anything else you will see on ladder right now.

[@videotroll72]

drawing like hell and then burning the face takes skilll?

[@animeentranced1130]

Calculating lethal over 2-4 turns is pretty skill based also calculating your odds with draws is a bit different then like face hunter was. Theres also examples like in this video where you make minor trades to keep the board for a bit longer. So yeah its harder to pilot than another aggro deck.

[@videotroll72]

AnimeEnTranced maybe for the average hearthstone player its complicated, for anyone with MtG experience its not at all.

[@barrettmullins4622]

You are the same guy who bashes cod for being super easy while playing battlefield arnt ya?

[@BrandonHP]

lmao

[@BrandonHP]

ez first

[@Doktor_Vem]

Sorry bro, but you are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY not first

[@BrandonHP]

wafflanjunior00 Except I literally was.

[@Doktor_Vem]

Brandon Pierre No you were'nt. You may have been first when YOU clicked the video, but at the same time as you clicked it, alot of others did too. If you had commented the exact moment as you loaded up the video, you would have been first, but as you watched it, many others came in and commented.

[@Doktor_Vem]

I just did, and YOU, my friend, are not there.

[@yaerius]

this deck is really powerfull. but it's also very easy to make mistakes and play badly with it.

[@mitchellgilbert2789]

most obvious malygos deck and he thinks its reno >.< come on trump

[@HadenSavanti]

Trump was very skillful with this deck. I have all these cards and I don't think I would b have done as well as him. bravo Trump.
