[@EhtaZUGGE]

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

[@COD8player4life]

+rdsasuke1 he can't fuck himself cause he skipperino'd the kripperino for fapperino

[@RegardeMonCom]

[@hhuehuehue2407]

Yes, you are cancer

[@Ofordgabings]

Jean Cule I read this as a poem, titled Cancer By Jean Cule Starterino Videorino Kripperino Talkerino Anima Golemerino Cancer

[@Voidward]

I would have thought blood imp would be the ideal card to play with anima golem.

[@fangtimes0]

Literally any aoe kills blood imp which is already a horrible card to begin with so at that point you are wasting space.

[@Kowzorz]

fangtimes I can't count the number of times that 1 health placed on another minion on the turn it's played turns the tide of a game. No aoe? Free heals. Don't play it if you suspect an aoe.

[@Roleplayer40K]

I drafted this and a blood imp in Arena and it went 9 wins. Blood Imp is really good in Arena in general tho.

[@Voidward]

fangtimes Yes, but if you happen to have a large minion, along with a blood imp when you drop anima golem then your opponent will need AOE and removal on the same turn to deal with it. A lot of ladder decks are also predictable enough that you should know if and when they'll have AOE and play around that.

[@fargonotic]

honestly it's alright in constrcuted (if you are just out for fun not for wins) everything stealth is good anyway but right now I substituted him for a gilblin stalker because that guy at least survives a normal consecrate

[@fanbyl]

You can combo this whit Dreadsteed, right?

[@erikl4434]

Kreygasm

[@charlesxll7925]

op volvo plis nerf

[@Kudastavski]

09:48 Wasnt it lethal?

[@TheNombla]

That's considering the implosion hits for 2. Otherwise, there is no more room to play thee Doomguard

[@MDksa123]

TheNombla that's more than 50%

[@supperdzigi]

not necessary....if imp-losion makes 3 or more 1/1 he would not have space to play doomguard,if he plays doomguard first he can discard cards he needs for lethal

[@greindes1579]

KevinGarage2 yes, if you're lucky with imp-loshion

[@FalyPr1nc3]

KevinGarage2 Only 33.33% chance. If implosion summon 3 or 4 imps there will not be enough space on board for doomguard.

[@Zomboni13]

"4 mana 7/7" Flame-Wreathed Faceless anyone?

[@CarnivoreApple]

you mean core rager?

[@grantzolldan]

Phoenix Wrong You mean Eerie Statue?

[@catStone92]

dreadsteed saves anima golem

[@carlosrodriguez9056]

Lol I hadn't seen this post before I typed up mine. Dreadsteed is my new favorite card

[@AdrasHoriaGaming]

+Pedro Gusmão yes but its 4 mana

[@Rhyno231]

+Pedro Gusmão even so, its a vanilla 9/9 (which means prime BGH target) for 6 mana, 6 mana that could be filled by sylvanas, thaurissan, boulderfist, sky golem, justicar, or even sunwalker is a better choice. It's a gimmicky card thats fun to make decks with but absolute trash for ladder

[@davidlerma435]

This is true.

[@x0Vinny0x]

+Pedro Gusmão I made a silence warlock deck, it fits perfectly in there.

[@ktktktktktktkt]

4:54 to skipperino kripperino pls and thankerino.

[@ComradeTomatoTurtle]

Well done.

[@genghiskhan8955]

Robert Maiorana well donerino

[@MrBlueSleeves]

thx, saved my lyfe

[@SilcrusLP]

Thanks for making videos Kripp! It's so awesome watching you play just thanks :)

[@MrTrollaid]

I've made a warlock deck including this one. It wasn't a very competitive one, but it still won me some games and it was extremely fun to play. It included anima golems, but also zombie chow, silent watchers, ogre brutes, and fell reavers, all sort of creatures you'd want to silences as well as owls, spellbreakers and wailing souls to do the silencing. I also added some creatures with stealth, to be able to put the golems on turn 6 without the risk to lose my board, namely shade of naxxramas and stranglethorn tiger. Why these two? Because 1) they have decent stats by themselves 2) they resist flamestrike on turn 7. Finally I also put in a couple of defenders of argus because having two anima golems 10/10 with taunt is basically a win condition, Ragnaros and Kel'Thuzad who are the best things to play when your opponent just used his hard removals on your golems, two shadowflames who benefit greatly from your high-power/low-cost minions (fell reaver+shadowflame=8damage in AoE for 9 mana, that's basically a Twisted neither that doesn't affect your board), Soul drain for conrtol decks and hellfire for aggro ones and you have your deck. I'd also put Jaraxxus instead of KT but I didn't buy it yet. It's a really fun deck which can be strong both in early and late game but requires to draw the good cards from the start, otherwise, you're screwed. Still, if you opened two of those I would advise you to try it. Strangely it works best against handlock, with the many silences it shuts down the twilight drakes and then is able to put beasts as strong or even stronger than your opponent whom incredulous face is a bliss to imagine.

[@vvvortic]

why would i care about broken cards, hearthstone in general takes no mechonics, its just RNG, gg

[@DyslexicBasatrd]

Why are you watched a Hearthstone video then? Go away

[@athernandez666]

DyslexicBasatrd Hey, don't comment.

[@animagamer2]

gg vortic, our lord and savior.

[@dataintfalco6472]

Not at all. Rng is a major factor, however it takes skill and forethought as well as good cards and lots of devotion to win many games

[@E0011]

Damn he got to hearthstone too

[@ramysalem326]

Missed lethal at 9:49 ( implosion the taunt totem. Power overwhelm+ doomsayer + anima =4+5+9=18 ) all that for 10 mana ( 1 + 4 + 5 )

[@Bluem95]

Can't do that if the implosion fills your board so you cant make room for doomguard. Essentially you would need to roll low on the implosion and only get 2 imps for this to work.

[@sirgaz8699]

3:10 A 4 mana 7/7 would be good you say?

[@NotFoundead]

9:47 Missed lethal you noob! *SwiftRage Kappa*

[@TUSpeeddy]

"if it was 4 mana 7 7 , something like that"

[@chrisaxell5897]

9:50 skipped leathal

[@simeonrangelov1371]

+Chris Axell He needed to roll two damage on the totem if he wanted to have space to actually put the Doomguard on the board.

[@DuseanMandic1]

+TopKek GetShrekt loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[@gabiblack]

+ayyy lad that's because implosion does 2 to 4 damage

[@lone_hazard3418]

+ayyy lad I think he's talking about how if he get 3 or more imps, he wouldn't have been able to put down the doomgaurd. But yes, if it had rolled 2, he would've had exact lethal.

[@kaivirin]

+Chris Axell Not missed lethal just BM :P

[@pablomiguelperezferreiro6122]

Combo it with dreadsteed. Profit. I know im late.

[@D-JR]

+Pablo Miguel Perez Ferreiro nope, you are just... in... time...

[@pablomiguelperezferreiro6122]

+Roman Davidovich Dreadsteed is never late

[@KarstenOkk]

+Pablo Miguel Perez Ferreiro Now, this is something. If there are end of turn damage triggers, like Baron Geddon, which is counted first and what exactly happens?

[@pablomiguelperezferreiro6122]

KarstenOkk I dont really know, but I suppose that the ability of the minion that was summoned first, as happens with deathrattle.

[@Linausable]

6:50 why not silence the golem ? ._.

[@ajpearl2075]

Because he had annoying cards that weren't going to get cleared easily and the opponent's card was decently strong

[@xander8761]

Linausable Also because he didnt have the mana :/

[@Linausable]

Xander Fern Honestly i watched again and i don't know why i commented this ... The meca was clearly the good choice ... Wth ... And he doesn't need mana for it ^^

[@Linausable]

Oh maybe i was saying for the epic one, yeah he deosn't have it .... In both cases i'm stupid.

[@SpiritFryer]

9:46 missed lethal: Implosion on 2/2 taunt --> Power Overwhelming --> Doomguard --> All face for 18 damage

[@noobkiller390]

Before i start this video id just like to say that ive really been hoping you'd make a video about this card, such an interesting card.

[@jakubnadolski34]

i think there are lot of ways to use anima golem, and make it worth. 1. Blood imp + golem ( Good if u know that ur opponent has alrdy used one AoE so probly he is unable to destroy imp ) 2. Anima golem + silence 3. Anima golem + shadowflame ( i know turn 10 combo, but clears nearly everythin that opponent could have on board ) 4. Golem + any card with deathrattle ( it is not safest option but still in certain situation could carry game )

[@blablablablaetc]

Missed lethal at 9:48 with implosion on taunt, PO on minion and doomguard

[@politegentleman8476]

Kripp, did you consider having bloodimps with Animagolem? They are kinda hard to remove if you get 2 of them at same time

[@MrSirCarnage]

HE FINALLY BROKE IT!!!!!! THE INTRO IS "HEY GUYS, HOWS IT GOING, KRIPPARIAN HERE." HE ALWAYS FINISHES IT OF WITH A "SO..."

[@seanleizerovich]

Missed lethal at 9:47. Implosion the snake tongue totem, power overwhelming, and doom guard + amina to face.

[@LeoCoot]

you combo this with Void Terror, thats its purpose ...

[@hooversom]

8:00 he said well played because he complimented you on your fell cannon play xD

[@absocatboy]

9:53 Missed letharino

[@Lifeless9619]

Anima golem was likely designed to be placed in the post-naxx meta zoo lock. Where there were alot of obnoxious sticky death rattle cards. Anima golem functions in that situation by forcing the opponent to make an attempt to remove irritating targets like harvest golem, nerubian egg, and skittering spider thing. The card might have actually seen play if Dr.Boom wasnt so close by in mana cost and simply more reliable.

[@Aurelioris]

4:52 skipperino talkerino Kripperino ;)

[@TheReaperGriefer]

9:44 Missed Lethal: Imp-losion on the taunt totem, power overwhelming on an egg, to the face ---> GG

[@GLNightmare]

16:00 You wasn´t afraid of Hellfire?

[@anonyanonymous1900]

Seems like a casual Warlock stealth/silence/bad Deathrattle deck would be fun with this thing. (Bad being like Dancing Swords, etc.)

[@kylianjonkers7321]

missed lethal 9:50 couldve power overwhelming enigma golem so it becomses 13/13, implosion the taunt and play doomguard for exact 10 mana 18 dmg cause 13+5=18

[@dimitrismith9885]

I had a deck I dea that was primarily mechs but also focused heavily on sticky creatures. I think he would fit in a deck with Kelthuzad, shredder, sky golem, sneed's old shredder, nerubian egg, and then some other stuff to round It out. I would love to see you give the sticky creatures deck featuring defender of argus a look!

[@cosmic_gate476]

I run zoo and a couple stealth in my lock deck, usually it's very tough for the opponent to clear the board without flamestrike. Good mid game finisher for a rush deck.

[@cosmic_gate476]

Also, makes them use big game hunter so you can pop doctor boom next turn.

[@arielmandowsky2923]

Whats the name of the song that plays at the end of kripps vids?

[@lucianflorinfeier3672]

you should do a "How Good Is Mistress Of Pain?" ;)

[@MrPozzerz]

Imagine giving your opponent an anima golem through sylvanas whilst they have a full board...

[@MCTutorialmaker]

Wow omg nothing dies youre a genius

[@qfayne1121]

***** I don't think you understood what he was getting at there.

[@CouchPotato252]

***** i.imgur.com/ZZhcsoz.jpg

[@PhrozenBlood]

imagine giving your opponent a rag through sylvanas whilst they have a full board....

[@stayniftyGuyFaceMannPersonDude]

It doesn't matter if they get the anima golem, they already have a sylvanas and a full board.

[@mrtmat]

Have you tried blood imp with AG?

[@GregariousMedia]

I have one anima golem in my warlock deck. I use it either after a Mal'Ganis + demom-filled board or use it as a massive shadowflame board-clear. I've had decent luck with it, but I see why it's not too commonly used.

[@DrSomers]

Anima golem sounds good with stuff like blood imp or just any stealth creature overall, but with most decks running some sort of aoe it can be pretty easy to isolate it. Plus it can just get BGH'd/aldored or something like that.

[@cloudtheninth]

That missed lethal in the first game was almost disastrous. For the record his lethal was implosion the taunt totem, power overwhelming the animation golem, hit with doomgaurd

[@CultOfMonika]

Did you try it with blood imp?

[@Slider2k]

Granted it's not an arena card, it could work in constructed mech/deathrattle zoo decks - flooding the board wild annoying sticky creatures and topping it off with a heavy hitter on turn 6.

[@iJosetxu]

9:49 missed legal

[@FDJUwe]

NICE LETHAL MISSED BRO 9:46 (had a chance to fail, but why not try? lolol)

[@jamesliu1977]

At 9:47 you miss lethal by not power overwhelming the anima golem and then play imp plosion on the searing totem then use doom guard

[@MCTutorialmaker]

I used Anima Golem in my sea giant ultra cancer zoolock jizz and it actually worked quite well.. Obviously its bad i arena but in deathrattle zoo its fine.

[@lkjkhfggd]

Seems quite bad dude. It's another completely dead card in your hand if you have one of those games where your board gets wiped out. You literally can't play it when that happens. It's the same reason I tend to not run Defender of Argus and Enhance-o-mechano in my zoo decks.

[@sdfr45678]

lkjkhfggd If you're not running defender in a zoolock deck, something is wrong.

[@lkjkhfggd]

sdfr45678 Why? Defender is not required in all Zoo decks. The card is nice, but I find I am usually the offensive player, so the taunt is useless, and like I said earlier, if my early turn minions were successfully all cleared out, I have a 4 mana 2/3 in hand, and won't be able to cast it forever.

[@MCTutorialmaker]

you dont only run cards that are good on their own, you also need cards to support your "small" board and make it more difficult for your opponent to wipe/kill your minions. This is why you run argus and Anima Golem in Zoo

[@lkjkhfggd]

Yep, but there's other choices I can make that can take Defender's place, like Imp-losion and Dark Iron Dwarf, and I prefer those cards. Those cards are also good even if I don't have a board, so they are preferable by me.

[@yurekwranik-lohrenz8516]

If you ever continue using the Dreadsteed deck that you made a while ago, I think this card has a pretty useful, and very good synergy with it, as the board will never be empty on the end of your turn because of dreadsteed.

[@WinIsKey]

U missed lethal at 9:40 :o

[@RunderKeks28]

I really liked seeing the title, because, I have 1 normal and even 1 golden of it and I was hoping that there's finally a good deck to build around it. Now I have to hope that my booster packs start being useful soon.

[@werotus]

The Enema Golem everyone. Too bad, I had high hopes for this card.

[@clydeweston2750]

9:48 was lethal. Implosion the taunt totem, then power overwhelming and doomguard to kill him

[@crossmodulation9730]

Clyde Weston How would he play a Doomguard on a board with 7 minions?

[@omrikf]

would that be a decent turn 6 play if u had this golem and a dispel (playing a priest)

[@IMVADER2]

Couldn't you make a demon stealth deck to work with this card? I feel like blood imp would be a nice combo card with it, and who's gonna use a flamestrike on only 2 cards?

[@ramonesty]

a deathraddle deck with the anima golem could work right? haunted creepers and stuff like that

[@waiterjoesh8859]

9:47 missed lethal lol old kripp

[@kionashi]

is one off i think...

[@richardjones8846]

play doomguard 5 dmg. imp the taunt totem. power overwhelm. 18 dmg.

[@djomni115]

if imp hit for more than 2, he couldnt play doomguard

[@waiterjoesh8859]

^I see now

[@Syberi388]

Why not void terror? Yeah, it has the added weakness to silence in addition to bgh, but it could be better, right?

[@sentinel359]

Is it viable in zoolock or something with dreadsteed?

[@arielmandowsky2923]

whats the name of the music that plays at the end of the video?

[@antoniopampillon]

9:54 Miss lethal?

[@AnimeVampire234]

i've actually made a handlock deck with this card in it and it seemed to work since you'd drop them down with the molten giants and you taunt up the anima golems soo... it was pretty nuts.

[@xXAceXx]

I use 1 Anima Golem in my Warlock deck. I have cards that cannot be targeted by spells, blood imps, and void terrors. Many ways to make the card work. Turn 5 play spectral knight, turn 6 play Anima Golem.

[@tokushmusic]

Missed lethal at 10:00

[@X3lfl3X]

pair with void terror ?

[@dylancastledine]

please do how good is iron sensi in a rogue mech deck with the mech that has 6/9 and does damage to minions next to each other seriously op deck. if you add a gallywix on top its freaking insane against mage/druid/shaman etc

[@Dall_]

I just thought about.. Should twisting nether be *Silence and then destory all minions*?

[@StanTheAce]

No synergy with your own deathrattles such as nerubian eggs then

[@shadowmage661]

lets be honest there are a lot of cards that are not really worth their mana cost. twisting nether is one.

[@antonisioannidis86]

dat lethal miss though at 9:46

[@Deaneftw]

He missed lethal at 9:50. Implosion to kill the taunt. Then po the golem for 13 attack and doomguard

[@oreocookiedough]

What if it's ability read "at the end of each turn, destroy this minion if it's THE only one" I think that would be a fair buff

[@jarosawpurchawka5236]

16:30 the best top deck ever

[@timmyc2353]

what do u guys think if the anima golem reads "destroyed if its THE only one of the field"?

[@boomer6443]

Void terror would work rly well with this and some other descent attack power minon

[@Jpizzle011]

What about sinergy with dread steed now?

[@チャールピちゃん]

10:00 Kripperino Misserino Lethalarino. Implosionarino totemarino. Power overwhelming the golemarino doomguardarino. That's Lethalarino.

[@quartermastermarcus4448]

Ok so im a rank 15 scrub most of the time but couldn't it work in zoo since they almost always has something on the board including creeper and egg

[@animagamer2]

Kripp always seems much happier talking about Hearthstone than actually playing it...

[@ArtCore616]

I'm kinda new on HS but i Love playing warlock and Mage. My strat with warlock is pretty much a YOLO strat that includes sacrificing things for the greater good. That's why sometimes I use Anima golem with Void Terror, Blood imp works a little better tough.

[@peteedwards1461]

What about a dread stead anima golem combo deck?

[@Pignemo]

Why not play a stealth the turn before and then play anima golem?

[@Hunteresting.]

Before I can continue watching the video, I have to say that Kripp looks like BabyRage right now. Cannot be unseen.

[@IamMirezNL]

Why not use it with Shade of Naxxramas?

[@mcnalbren]

What about anima golem comboed with stealth cards such as shade of nax

[@pikapals41]

3:05, a 4 mana 7/7? that would be too overpowered

[@pixelmeth]

I'm surprised he didn't put any naxx spiderbros in this deck since they're pretty sticky 2 drops as well.

[@romainrahni8682]

you can try with the warlock card which eats card next to him ( don't know the english name of this minion ) so at turn 9 you can play anima and this minion that give you a 12 /12 for 9 mana

[@savedroknapp1926]

The salt is strong in this one.

[@fishwithoutwings]

It's really just a win more card. You have total board control, then slap that 9/9 down, and if they can't deal with your board you just seal the deal. But if they do deal with the board, you lose more. Except in this case, but that's how topdeck wars in arena end up sometimes. The best part of Anima Golem is it probably won't get mind controlled on turn 10.

[@leagueplays2100]

Anima golem with jaraxxus is the best combo ever

[@Ganja_Cat]

Now that we got Silent Knight, may be the golem is finally usable

[@MrSquadallah]

3:08 So this is where they got the idea from...

[@Baagag]

This' a great card for yolo zoo, I use it to get the Warlock quest done asap and it works great.

[@STEFAN9484]

i have golden epic anima golem in my lock deck,and i played him quite some times and he didn't died right after i put it him,so what do you sugest,to dust it,or to keep it?

[@frankg7786]

Keep it

[@kensukeliu8976]

So good, it's like Fel Reaver - unplayable unless silenced. The only use I've found for it is against a mage with an empty board and they have Mirror Game.

[@XDvard]

3:09 4 mana 7/7?

[@XZeroLive]

In the first game Kripp missed lethal. He should have used implosion on the taunt totem, then give power overwhelming to any of his minions, then he would have been able to play the doomguard and go face,face,face for 18 damage for the win.

[@nlahmi]

3:07 4 7/7 balanced: confirmed.

[@lucag.b.5994]

talking about constucted:my brother used to play it with a dreadsteed on board (handlock)

[@lucag.b.5994]

i was wondering why it was missing in your list

[@htasul]

because this video was made months before TGT came out
