Is The Great Dark Beyond A Good Expansion?

[@Edge-xy3fv]

HE'S GONE FULL VIDEO ESSAY IT'S TOO LATE FOR US ALL!!!!

[@filipvadas7602]

In the limited capacity we got to experience these cards before the official release, this expansion genuinely just FEELS better than the last 3 combined for me. Yeah, Wild is still going to be totally *facked* unless they drop another straight to Wild expansion and balance updates with it; but this expansion is probably going to be the first one in over half a year that doesn't make me want to uninstall the game every time I play Ranked.

As someone who’s done 3 separate runs of the Brawl as DH The main problem with Starship Demon Hunter is that Starships aren’t as good as Pirates

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

I was playing a control DK with airlock breach and for some reason I always destroyed pirate DH but pirate DH plus the starships beat me twice

[@juliandacosta6841]

The exodar should help a bit, as the armor is good against aggro, and the extra pieces is more stuff to throw at control. But ultimately things like odyn and incindius are the same speed and are much better at ending games.

[@moonlight2870]

Space pirates!

[@bananaboy2373]

Honestly, this set seems neat compared to the last few for me, especially perils, which was just like mean streets 2 with the number of patches I saw

[@michib70]

Gadgetzan was hardly nerfed though. Patches got patched after a year. Small time buc took like 2 months for a nerf

[@Mendighoul]

Play reno hunter, discover 3 copies of Reno, dies anyway to murmur shaman.

[@aldroydf35]

Holy shit 2 hours of "guy complaining about hearthstone" that I'll use to sleep today let's goooo

[@aldroydf35]

Update: yep, I slept nicely

[@frozeneagle8]

literally thought I was the only one

[@edwardfontaine7108]

Another thing about maladaar is that you could just play the card on six with any other card for tempo and some decks might struggle to deal with a 5/5 and something else on 6. obviously playing a 10 mana card on 6 is powerful but there will likely be situations where just playing the card for tempo is the correct play.

[@greatozgreatoz5641]

Some Cards are better as discover targets than hard run ones.

[@victinity]

FUCK YES I NEED A TWO HOUR FLARE VIDEO YES YES YEEEEEEESSSSSSS

[@Craig-m1u]

Rainbow DK is easily the least creative archetype. On launch, DK had 3 separate identities but Blizzard doesn’t seem to put in the effort to craft 3 identities for 1 class

[@michib70]

I have no idea ehy the runes still exist. There aren't any triple rune cards worth running over Reska.

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

@@Craig-m1u there’s just not enough cards per set. DK needs like double the cards everyone else gets at least

[@thebigyes8482]

@@Emperorhirohito19272And obviously that’s not feasible. At that point you would essentially just have 3 classes that share some cards.

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

@@thebigyes8482 I disagree, I think with a larger set you could achieve what they wanted to with DK originally. But yes it won’t happen of course. It’s a shame, I have enjoyed DK overall but it could be the coolest class in the game.

[@Neuromindart]

soulbound spire is for handbuff starship dk. I would imagine that could be pretty beast if it works correctly.

[@graysaltine6035]

Assimilating Blight would at least have a reason to exist if it could hit Distressed K'Valdir (without speaking to the viability of Plague in general). It should read "cost of 3 or less" or just "2-cost". Even staying at 3 mana for a 2-cost minion I think it would be better than how it is currently. Eldritch Being is a token that can move awkwardly placed Outcast cards into a usable position, and at 1 mana it's fairly easy to just topdeck and play it. To me it makes more sense in Outcast-heavy decks. It's much more of a diceroll trying to get big crewmate plays with it, or trying to proc your Xor'toth early - but if you ever happen to be in a situation where all your crewmates, outcasts and stars are in the wrong place, you have a fairly decent chance of fixing at least one of those problems for 1 mana. Is it good? No, but I think the Outcast line of thinking makes more sense than assuming this is aimed at crewmates. Final Frontier actually has a ~20% chance to hit a specific 10-drop as *one* of the *three* options in your discover. Thaddeus might be the best but Yogg and N'Zoth can do some stuff too. It's still probably not consistent enough to build a non-meme deck around (even with starship doublecast) but it's one of those cards that always sucks when *you* play it and always highrolls when your *opponent* plays it. I'd bet money people are going to complain about it even if it has low WR%.

[@markcole2040]

10:20 handbuff dk doesn’t work cause the pieces aren’t undead😅

[@MrLisreal]

2 hours? Great stuff, Flare

[@sonofliberty78]

Shaffar’s S-tier; in hand buff DK, (not the “standard” list, but one built to better utilize Shaffar). Once you multiply Shaffar’s Beacon with Zombietank and/or especially Swarmguard; Darkthorn Quilters and Gnomemunchers become very threatening, very quickly, (20+ atk is routine). It’s a really solid deck, at least until TGDB releases, then we’ll see.

[@fefino1411]

Regardless if the expansion is good from a flavorful, competitive or fun standpoint, it certainly has a lot of fantastic artwork.

[@fastee]

flavor wise im pretty happy with it

[@DucknoopCUE-ql9xi]

49:58 i think the pilot is great with 7 mana so you can play 5/6 drani on turn 5 3/2 pirate to discount it on turn 6 So it's 1 mana on turn 7

[@digusup]

Yall know the drill by now, see new flare upload, drop all responsibilities and watch

[@declanoferrall2286]

I am genuinely sorry you pulled the golden Uluu LMAO

I could watch a movie but this is more interesting

VIDEOOOOOOOO ESSSAYYYYYYYYY WOOT woot... wait... about hearthstone?

[@cinders11037]

nothing to scoff at/10 unless your name is reno

[@novaster7528]

I think the demonist gonna be very good

[@vighodal]

I don’t get why you aren’t acknowledging flare is already a card 😂

[@aldroydf35]

1:12:12 bro missed the Talgath combo dream

[@deadeyewolf777]

if im gonna be real the starships will suck until reno rotates.

[@matt-thorn]

I don't understand why people downplay Wakener of Souls so much. Scrapyard Colossus was a 7/7 taunt that summoned another 7/7. But Wakener also ressurrects minions for you, specifically deathrattles, which means it can resummon Rheska.

[@FlareIsGone]

scrapyard colossus was only good when you cheated it out and even then it wasn't the best minion around for that either. You can't cheat out wakener

[@maciejkolorowy3340]

Wakener is tough card to use without Maladaar, also you need to play and kill off a worthy deathrattle unit before. Seems bit too sketch to me

[@KyleKotaska]

7 legends from 52 packs you say? I got 3 with 2 of them golden from 25 packs :)

[@FlareIsGone]

152

7 legos from 152 is criminl

2 hours goon sesh incoming

I think Uluu could have 4 choose one effects and still be almost as bad as it is now

[@X0v3r]

19:37 random WHATTT?!?!

[@mex_I.M]

8:40 yea that is why people should wait for golden packs from a store to get those signatures. Not streamers or cc they d9nt count.

[@jackmcaninch4270]

19:37 random what?

[@PizzaTuber12345]

Almost 2 hours of yappin 🗣

[@Craig-m1u]

It could’ve been, but I’m afraid Reno/Unkilliax/Yogg will destroy any interesting metas.

[@lyudmiltsekov8557]

*OH GOD I HEAR THE POPS*

[@KnownAsKenji]

I do think people are overrating it a bit because the theme is that good. But it does look alright. Probably better than Paradise at least, that expansion was a bit of a dumpster overall.

[@KraylebStudios]

How funny would it be if Uluu's choose one effects it randomly chose stacked endlessly

[@axeltheinternetsweeper8082]

I think one of the 20 different problems with this card is the fact that one of the choose one choice is to literally destroy your mana

[@KraylebStudios]

@axeltheinternetsweeper8082 True, thst would be a horrible thing

[@gGeezZusS]

I hate the fact that the devs just stopped caring about priest identity and just give it random cards every expansion. DK seems cool at least, another bad expansion for control enjoyers I guess

[@petersimonetti4875]

Does he do a line at 1:47:54

Oh yeah an essay to eat to Edit: Essay* dislexia be dammed

Not digging all the spells with out a spell school. There are SO MANY

[@andreashallersjo]

Hearthstone makes me sad whenever a new pack comes out Priest has not gotten a good set in forever and i only play priest, its to the point where i genuinely dont play the game unless priest package is fun/interesting and just when the miniset from perils came and made overheal priest decent (NOT broken btw) they nerfed it into an unplayable state so here i go again just waiting for another 4 months (or 2 if we get starship in miniset)

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

I think the great dark beyond is an epic win :)

[@moonlight2870]

You're a good expansion

[@IAmE37]

Videos on the bazaar when?

[@nannerpants7]

deader game than HS 😂

[@dexter21380]

2 hours yet no clear answer given! 😅

[@frozeneagle8]

bro just says everything is bad okay dude

[@FlareIsGone]

You have clearly never looked at individuals cards of each expansion cause usually at least half of them are completely garbage

[@frozeneagle8]

@ okay buddy

[@lordosis5650]

Give gorm charge, problem fixed. 😉🥴

[@vitalepitts]

perfect... bedtime...

[@boach1685]

8 mana SPELL get a 1 mana strong minion is good wdym???

[@FlareIsGone]

8 mana spell get 10/10 no text is broken yeah for sure

[@boach1685]

@ your not seeing the vision i can get a free 8/8

[@sylvanashun4104]

I like this expansion but I fear the current cards are will destroy it. I just want warsong commanders nerf but they don't because a fucking diamond and signature cards. Who buys them all the time gets nerfed to unplayable?

[@17thFable]

Suffocate 1 developer cost card that reads Implement the rune system into a class Its pretty mid, bad even

[@Sonnazj]

possibly the worst season yet.. everyone is just boosting their armour to absoulte ridic lvls and its making the game and rounds a snoooze fest ZZZZzzzzzz

[@peace40wnage79]

the expansion is total ass

[@millejansson4799]

skrr

[@EasterBunnyMurder]

Ya know they didn’t name solar flare after you right, that’s a pretty common space word

[@FlareIsGone]

no no way they definitely named it after me it wasn't like, very obviously a joke at all :^)

@ oh, that’s actually pretty funny hahahah
