Day9? playing a deck that eventually summons larger and larger men? Match made in heaven😀

[@joostkemp9775]

Its such a sophicticated strategy! This guy must have all the motor skills!

[@derekdomike6278]

I'm the Death Knight player from 11:55 to about 32:30. Just reached Legend with that same list. Knew for sure it was the one I wanted to pilot after this game and I'm thrilled it actually got recorded. Was an absolute blast playing you, Day9.

[@paulyd9199]

bro you hung on for dear life, emptied your deck and everything, well played!!

[@tristanlynn9009]

You played super lights out, really patient and good with your Reska and Primus, you got really unlucky to get Maw and Paw and your big explosion milled at the very end, awesome game!

[@Lumindracon]

Day9 is going to summon a larger and larger demon-

[@petrblaha8806]

*de-men

[@CloudianMH]

He actually got an achievement in his first stream back called latger and larger men and he didnt even notice

[@Edenshex_official]

so he can summon larger and larger demons

[@joshuamarrero4857]

lol the jade druid reference such good toxic days

[@sonofliberty78]

It’s really cool to see ya playing HS again, Day9. Love your positive energy and deck building preferences. Big ol greedy decks are fun. I’m playing a Starship Druid deck which uses Star Grazers, Zilliax, Greybough, (and/or sometimes a big Starship), for the Rehydration Station shenanigans. Ceaseless Expanse is SUCH a great card imo, especially for Druid! Really enjoying the TGDB set, so far. 😁👍

[@Lunarcheese72]

11:10 You can hear that mage saying "Absolutely fuck this shit." as he peaces right out.

[@hiei990]

How dare you be so captivating that it makes me want to play *Hearthstone* again? How dare you, you beautiful bastard?

[@DerNesor]

Hey Day9, thanks to your video I picked up hearthstone again after not playing for about 6 years. Two things I have to say: 1. It's good fun. 2. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS POWERCREEP. Mage fills the board, deals 25 damage and draws 6 cards, casually. and the next turn again.

[@kjaerdian7864]

'Oh no of course i got to hang out at the sky lounge, Im a diamond member' 🤣🤣🤣 Sean you're humour is unmatched in the gaming world

[@RatKirby]

Regards putting a pet down, can confirm is often the best thing for them but the hardest thing you'll ever do. I held my little dog when the vet administered the injection, she had both brain and lung cancer. I ugly cried that day until the tears just wouldn't come anymore, but no way in hell was I letting her go without me being there. Hopefully it was a little comfort to her. She brought so much joy to our home and it was heartbreaking to see towards the end when she wanted to play but couldn't because it triggered seizures.

[@Lorebrary_EG]

It’s so good to see day 9 still thriving, started watching you 10 + years ago. I recently started making my own videos. Much different from you, but you inspired me. 1st week in 🎉

[@lexiette8343]

RE: Legends of Runeterra, I really loved that game cuz of the way the turns are always played in tandem, you play 1 thing i play 1 thing back and forth, it was really unique and the tempo was not justt the amount of stuff you could put out but how fast too! and yeah it was very constricted, didnt allow for as much shenanigans, though that was slowly changing until they stopped actively supporting pvp

[@kingofbudokai]

My one gripe with that game was the absurd number of spell types. You had slow spells, fast spells, burst spells, focus spells, etc. And there were several spell combos that just said "If you don't have removal or a deny in hand I win on the spot because I get to cast all 3 of these spells before you get priority back." That's not fun game design. I really liked the single player random arena thing where you could equip relics and level up the heroes etc. That was fun for a bit. And a lot of the mechanics ARE good, especially the sort of tandem turn thing you mentioned, where you have to consider whether to hold priority or play another thing. But it had just enough fatal flaws to make it not worth playing in the pvp sphere. Personally, I'm still sad that Artifact didn't do well. That is my favorite card game of all time. I played the naruto card game for several years. I used to play Pokemon cards as a kid. I played mtg for 13 years. I've done hearthstone, duelyst, and legends of runeterra. I've even played Shadowverse. And Artifact was the most fun out of all of them by a wide margin for me. I still can't believe how many people bitched about a $20 up front cost to buy the game when they spend $60 on far shittier games without batting an eye. I mean for God's sake you even got to make money back trading cards (I personally made more than my initial investment back by selling drow ranger and a few other legendaries after the game was clearly on a downward trend) Whiny little pissants the lot of 'em.

[@AlfiansyahHendry]

I re installed LoR a week ago but I mainly play PoC. I heard they no longer support PvP? How does that work? What do I do with my wild cards then?

[@lexiette8343]

@@AlfiansyahHendry You can play PVP but they arent actively making new stuff for it

[@F4fn1r13]

Thanks for mentioning Beyond All Reason. Love TA and SupCom, but never heard of this newer entry. Snaggin' it now.

Sounds sweet to take two months of vacation! Enjoy! 🐈

[@burnt41]

I still quote day9 saying "like totally for the wilds and all that" on a daily basis

[@hellowrld5234]

i played hearthstone like when it first came out, how much money or time would it take to get all of the cards he uses in this deck? looks really fun

[@Lumindracon]

@@hellowrld5234 there are rotations every 2 year, and every time in that 2 year 3 expansion of cards get rotated out keeping the game fresh and kinda new friendly, as a new player you dont need that much time to craft a deck, only some playing/paying if u wanna have alot of different decks Sooo it wont take you long and u can get it for free if u want to :]

[@pedropepe90908]

when you join hearthstone these days they give you tons and tons of cards and packs. You would probably have enough to disenchant and get everything you need for this deck immediately.

[@AdamGaffney96]

I've been loving playing this list, it's exactly in my playstyle and a super fun deck to play! Also unlocked the "Even Larger Man" achievement with this deck so it was meant to be.

[@linevs88]

ANOTHER DAY9 UPLOAD IS ANOTHER WIN

[@SirNewtonable]

did they change rising tide to not be useable in druid right after he played with this?

[@peshomighty5051]

Love it im trying kibler starcaneship deck recipe -2crystal welder -1crystal cluster. + kil’jaeden +final frontiers and +the exodar. The great part of this deck is 2 final frontiers play wild legendary for 1 mana.

The past time i played Hearthstone was hadronox taunt druid, so this is a real treat. Almost tempting enough to play again. *Almost*

Does anyone know if he plans to play the Bazaar? Every few months I check in to watch some vods

[@GhostStalker_88]

Day9 will be playing Reynad's The Bazaar when it releases.

[@Deathwill]

@ Thanks!

[@Enderman0415]

looking good mann you look like youve been losing weight im happy to see you playing hearthstone again

[@KotauFPS]

It's crazy because I've played Hearthstone, LoR and a little bit of Magic and LoR is the one that caught my attention the most. I think it's a decent game, but I can understand that it's probably not the best card game out there from a technical/objective point of view. It just so happens I liked it way more than the other two and played it for way longer too.

[@Nate7.75]

I'm gonna summon a larger and larger man, and next turn I'm gonna summon and even larger man.

[@zeneage]

What was the "dark time for hearthstone" comment about? Is there some specific drama?

[@uniqueflowsnake]

some people aere doomers. There's been a "dark time" for hearthstone every season pretty much.... to some people.

2:00:00 Choices. Decisions. Perfection.

[@Rave.-]

There were a few times he didn't play Mistah Vistah that absolutely triggered me. 1:44:55 Lost like +9 draw and +35 armor. He'd have won if he played it on 5 mana.

[@bwybwy5392]

46:00 Hoping that the BG3 series returns soon!

[@abbatrombonelol]

I stall with taunt minons so i can summon larger and larger men, which allows me later to summon ever larger men

Are you not playing magic anymore?

Not at the moment. He was a little burned out by the release pacing MTG has as well as wanting to play quite a few other games but has much less time to stream in general so he's gotten quiet behind in the regard. It will likely come back eventually but not for the foreseeable future at present.

When you start making decks to counter another deck you aren't having fun, I see this happening a lot right now. Just find a deck that is fun, 9/10 the deck you make to counter isn't really the deck you want to play.

[@gulllars4620]

1:30:00 about the dominant strategies and "wiggle room". Strategy games come down to not just strategy but also tactics and moment-by-moment play. Strategy is mostly tied to a mix of macro from an economics, tech/build, and overall game arch timeline. The good players do this with a great deep understanding of the game and its mechanics and general game theory, and is usually things you plan out ahead of time for that you like and fit your playstyle and contingency plans to deal with known popular strategies or weaknesses you've discovered in your strategy, or in tournaments tailor to known strategies, strengths and preferences of your opponents. Strategy development goes across multiple games and is refined over tens to hundreds of games. Tactics are like larger chunks of significant decisions, like counter-plays, flanking and positioning, tradeoffs in ordering and sequencing of economy vs building vs military. Which unit compositions work, and how to time attacks for when upgrades finish or you realize you have an edge. This is a highly combinatorial and mechanics focused aspect of the game where utility vs economy of units and buildings, as well as positioning and timings play in, and reactive sets of actions to things not covered by strategy. Then moment by moment is the micro, where precision and speed of actions dominate and split second decisions and sub-second timing makes or breaks the balance of local power on the battlefield. Great micro can make up for a bit of slack in tactics, great micro + tactics can make up for a bit of slack in tactics. But great strategy with weak tactics and micro leaves you vulnerable to significantly worse strategy executed with great tactics and micro. This is why pros can play silly strategies and unit compositions or tactics for fun against lower ranked players and still pull it off as long as they have a good enough macro-economy build as a foundation. This is especially true in RTS like SC2. In hearthstone, i regularly make fun decks to explore mechanics or new cards when expansions come out, and as long as i have the right sense of where the meta is (thanks hsreplay) and how the landscape of new cards are and which "packages" or mechanic synergies exist, I can usually make my own one-off decks with decent win rates (40-50%, sometimes up to 60%) even before fully internalizing how to most effectively pilot those decks. Tavern brawl is also a great game mode for playing around with silly combos like that, where understanding mechanics deeply can give you a 80-90% win rate early in the brawl from knowing which things become OP with those mechanics and how to exploit that (exploit strategy wise, not game exploit)

[@The_Kelgos]

[@danielc.7173]

[@galkanftw]

Try losing to Rogue turn 5-6 then you'll realize why the game is in a garbage place.That portal cannot be interacted with so again lame for a pvp game.Most people that are not shills will not be able to play any of the broken decks becuase it is p2w game. A very greedy developer that has put no effort into improving the game design all they care about is selling DIGITAL items.Nobody should support a greedy monetization developer.

[@LuisGonzalez-nd2bq]

Legends of Runeterra players will consistently blame the moneitization and ignore anyone who says the game was bad. The game legit had less then freaking 30 people of twitch watching it on the reg. The game was horrible

[@CompanionPrism]

Whenever Sean talks Runeterra I let out an exasperated sigh. His criticisms, then and now, are so extremely petty for why he decided to hate the game in the midst of the tutorial. The color orange they chose for the attack stat was not good. Ninjas have "flying". This archetype that is built around a specific champion didn't make instant sense without considering the champion. Its especially galling because I think Day9 and other creators writing off the game so early is what doomed an otherwise amazing game.
