Is a Bot better at Hearthstone than me?

[@PearlSnce]

He can't afford a deck tracker but he can afford performance enhancing A.I

[@neartheplumtree]

funniest part is heartharena has a built in deck tracker

[@Vijay_2k]

but deck tracker is so expensive

[@enderslime1299]

Have you seen how much deck trackers are?

[@meosk]

Just goes to show how expensive deck trackers are.

[@KillerofGods]

Do people pay for deck trackers? Why? Honest question, I don't play hearthstone.

[@takejisan808z]

Just know for Death knight your runes get locked in as soon as you choose a card with a rune req. e.g. youu picked 2 unholy rune cards, so future cards will be up to 2 unholy +1 rune. And then when you picked the 1 frost rune card, you will not see any blood cards. Only 2 unholy +1 frost.

no way i literally have been playing a lot of arena lately, both with and without heartharena, thought it would be a reall cool video to compare the two, really happy you've made this!

[@Hrolfgord]

would love to see this as both drafts being same class

[@benjaminhurtado5119]

rarran's reaction at 39:46 is one of the best expressions I've ever seen.

[@MH-wz1rb]

"I think he's really far behind" - Rarran with 8 more cards in hand than the opponent

[@Jasonblaze1]

You’ve gotta get Kripp to come in and coach you for an arena video

Thats a cool idea!

[@Cuestrupaster]

Brilliant idea...

[@jovanpaunovic2785]

YES FOR SURE, he is the goat of arena

[@21centdregs]

kripp hasn't played arena in years. kolst, redbeard or doseofcoffee would be the way to go. my vote goes to redbeard cuz he's hilarious. kripp doesn't need more exposure/views anyway, he's jammin bg's to a decent sized audience.

48:50 I was really hoping for Rarran to accidentally trade the minion on the following turn, I would have absolutely lost it if that happened

[@Q_z_]

This reminds me of why i stopped playing arena around lich king... losing because your opponent drafted the expansion legendary while you didnt is such a shitty experience

[@onicaalex2202]

I am seeing the calluses on your hands Rarran. My man been working out. Keep it up bro I am proud of you.

[@BerndUIrich]

thanks david for not cutting it out.

[@nokit0498]

I like how most of the commentary was "Well, that's not the worst thing" and "Could've been worse". Still watched the whole video, even if you are not very smart today, you look sexy, Mr. Rarran.

[@Van_Healsing]

i think to really make this fair, you needed to be the same class.

[@Olempis]

What I've noticed in arena from experience and including watching this video, the more losses you have early the better are the decks you are facing on average. I have no idea why. There's been multiple instances where I've been at like 7-0 wins and the cards are so much worse than at 1-2 or 2-2. The decks are crazy compared to higher wins.

[@elie.bartoli]

It's mainly because there are a lot of smurfs, so a lot of good players instantly getting into the run, that's why you meet them 'accidentally' early. But reach further than 7 and you'll see also that the decks do improve exponentially

[@21centdregs]

my theory is that loads of bad players (like me) have good decks but suck at implementing them, so you see us early in the run. when u get up to 7+ youre more likely to find good players who can get to that win total with worse cards. i only hit 7+ wins once in every 10 runs or so, but i don't play a ton so maybe my theory is shit

[@Olempis]

@@21centdregs Makes more sense, happens to me as well. Sometimes the deck is good, but harder to play the 1st games

[@theelectricant98]

Fun video idea regardless of the variance with opponents, I love the rare arena rarran

[@JackThePerson]

Heartharena isn't so it just looks at a tier list and gives you the best option. It also takes your deck into account just so you don't end up with 5 of the same card, but none of this is ai, it should be "is a computer going to make better draft choices" which will happen most of time

[@rgpmtori]

That's not true it is AI, there are many types of AI however the impressive AI like chatGPT uses machine learning but human made AI still is AI.

[@JackThePerson]

Not every computer program that analyzes a database is a artificial intelligence. Ai learns from it's environment but in this case it's just looking at what the creators put in has the good cards based on score and as some statements that check for the score and if your deck needs a certain cost

[@CookieLuc]

​@@JackThePersonthere's a big difference between machine learning AI and rule based AI, but both are commonly referred to as AI.

[@JackThePerson]

I do see your point it's just kinda weird that's a type of ai because it doesn't truly learn or mimic intelligence. In this case you are right

[@privatepengu]

It's just a title bro

[@Hunter-os5yx]

Rarran Arena drafting is really easy. Board presence and card generation are the only things you need to realize when drafting

[@JediMage]

Heartharena was so good, even best arena player used it most of the time. I hope he is doing great wherever he is now 🙏 We miss you, Kripp 😢

[@Ohmargod]

He actually is a very successful Wordle streamer. He managed to reach diamond legend rank in Wordle and even defeated the hardest Wordle hitless.

[@YMasterS]

Kripp used it to advertise it because he was involved in it. He was one of the people who fed it scores.

[@malice9720]

Thank you David, your edits give me life.

[@nicoladragoni4881]

Rarran i have to say that i am really impressed by your skill level when you focus. In this video and the one where you try to win a game with every class in a row, you played fantastically

[@21centdregs]

that doom hammer in the second death knight game was great

[@yehorhrytsiuk6858]

Not started this video yet but assured that answer is YES, WITHOUT A DOUBT

[@TimboTbagz]

Arena decks are usually quite heavy, you'll face loads of high cost stuff compared to usual.

[@idapoe4943]

I also misplayed the protodrake once. Granted, I was very drunk when I did it, but it still counts. At least you didn't concede out of embarrassment like I did

[@mintsofa7592]

hey! anyway you can do a video on different archetypes in card games maybe from the hearthstone perspective like how these decks work... aggro, control, combo, midrange been really interested in card games and trying to get better all around so this could be interesting and helpful

[@Taylor-bw4zg]

i just learned about "The canadian rise" today and i cant not hear it rarran's vocie lmao

I hope you didnt break your bank too much getting that arena tracker Mr Rarran, here's a comment for your algorithm to make it back 🙏

[@cryogenical_]

78 in modern arena is like average. 5-6 years ago that's a nearly guaranteed 10 win run, now that probably gets you to 6.

[@matt-xe5km]

its funny that rarran who admittedly doesnt have arena experience laughing at someone not having a turn 3 play in game 1

[@jennystrandqvist1568]

Yes too many things to make it fair comparison. If done again or something similar, perhaps re-roll so get same hero/class on both so it easier to compare.

[@matikkkii3482]

Seems like Rarran doesn't know that Discover is king in Arena, overvalues aoe clears, surprising honestly.

[@KnownAsKenji]

To be fair, AoE clears have been king of the Arena more than a few times in HS history.

[@CreeCore94]

Arena meta is potato rn, can’t blame him when in the past having a full board was king.

[@nevermind5657]

discover&card generation. if you play a card that effects on board, that also fills your hand as you play, are you really spending cards at all? cause later in the game one of you is going to be on top deck mode, while the person who played 1 or more card generation into hand has more cards to answer the board.

[@dollenrm]

Yeah unfortunately this doesn't work as a comparison right now because death knight is the only s tier class atm and the next closest class isnt even a tier but b tier comparitively. You really want a death knight draft right now.

[@futianzhang936]

In current arena, u get high wins if u draft more early game small minions rather than late game minions since removal is so cheap. However, this AI tends to like big meatballs, which may cause you to spend a lot of mana playing big meatballs but ur opponent can answer it with low mana cards. So don’t reply on this AI too much, it is not accurate when it tells u to pick big meatballs.

[@thefireofthefox1]

It's literally based on stats. The more often a deck wins with a certain card in it, the higher rating the card will have

[@nevermind5657]

@@thefireofthefox1 but also it sees that if stuffs synergizes. like if you pick a card that says targeted demon gets lifesteal, ofc its gonna push demons.
