[@Mathmachine]

I feel like people have just given up trying to play by Tavern Brawl rules and just use net decks in everything these days. When your net deck is better than a Brawl deck, you know Blizzard has fucked up balance somethin fierce.

[@grantmiller7257]

Mathmachine Agro and tempo are just too well rewarded. Use broken decks and then be rewarded with extra spells? wtf Blizzard!

[@wythore]

I know right? I stopped playing ladder because of all the netdecks people use. I just play tavern brawl and wait for each wednesday. And every.. Fucking.. Time it's a deckbuild brawl people play the same fucking netdecks as ladder. I mean, whats the point? It's so irritating, wish we could report them for that or block people from playing netdecks.

[@ebook3]

I dislike net-decking, it takes the fun outta half of the game. I prefer mashing shit together and rolling it from there, it's more fun that way. Just my opinion though.

[@user-xf9bd6ew9q]

i did not. i had some fun with malygos too in hunter(deathrattle hunter). Hunter is not braindead class you know.

[@nicks9733]

I usually only use tavern brawl to finish my quests, and really only play it for fun if i like the brawl. I felt pretty guilty trying to finish my 3 Warrior Wins, and play 10 Weapons quests in tavern brawl. Sorry everyone i faced ;--;

[@spoilerinokripperino5914]

Why didn't you mention the paveling book at the first match?

[@chrayez]

Spoilerino Kripperino you forgot Kripp top decking the Excavated Evil the turn afterward.

[@SkipperinoHS]

2:26

[@jbr8278]

hi Kripp

[@nemesis361]

But...How???!!

[@EMETRL]

i bet skipperino has written an algorithm that gets activated when the video fades to gameplay and tells a bot to write a comment with the timestamp

[@dadestor]

I bet you are actually Kripparian and posting this on your videos soon after you upload !!! SPREAD THE WORD ; HL3 CONFIRMED !

[@thomassynths]

You have the hardest job in the world. Thanks for your outstanding service.

Tavern Brawl #87: Flamewaker Brawl Returns!

[@TheSaucepanBuran]

Flamewanker: ruining tavern brawls since 1706

[@Danilego]

Yeah, how has Blizzard not removed the card from the brawl?

[@usernamehyt]

Danilego because it was one of the most fun cards mage has to play,many people will miss it once it rotation out.if you don't have the card and haven't enjoyed playing it then sucks to be you

[@tygonmaster]

+He Richard A card that allows you to get a massive tempo advantage for going second and people just spam spells like retards one they play it. Seems balanced.

[@moldyendsend]

Krapper Tavern brawl 85% of them: Flamewaker brawl

[@adamhadi6602]

Hanerino: tavern brawls? we have a bunch of them in Gadgetzan. Chorino: YEAH! AND I ALWAYS WIN!

[@razarinothechainerinokripp3684]

Umm excuse you the Kabal always win.

[@soapman6652]

*Ahem* Medivh always win..

[@gheorghievstefan21]

Food is vital for humanity.Without food,humans die,so it is very important that people always eat enough,but also not eat too much.If you think about it,food is a strange thing.It is ''like a drug''.You die without it,but also it can hurt your health.We all love delicious food,right?It makes us want to eat more and more until we are well fed,however,some people cannot control the hunger,leading to serious medical conditions.Conclusion:Moderation is the key,even when it comes to essential things like food and water.Thanks for reading :)

[@MrKain789]

Wise man.

[@dexter9313]

That is the most unrelated-to-video comment I've seen in years, congratulations !

[@usernamehyt]

Gheorghiev Stefan and hows this knowledge going to help me to beat cancer deck on ladder

[@Urza26]

But Kripp survives on a diet of pure salt. Clearly Kripp isn't human.

[@outrorinokripperino2308]

26:08

[@youtinglei8659]

ur a ded meme

[@Somerled_Pox]

You're the most useless Kripperino out there, congratulations

[@SkeletalElite]

Timber Sellick more useless than cow?

[@outrorinokripperino2308]

You're acting like Kripperinos exsist to be useful LUL

[@jeeveserinokripperino9340]

You know who else shall return? Jeeves! No going back to wild today, sir! (Incoming go back to wild comments, I'm drawing you three of them right now.)

[@translaterinokripperino5824]

Well hello, sir!

[@sovietterinnorussiarinnokr4630]

Imagine the value of having a SHIFTED jeeves

[@stiv66630]

All the jeeves should stay in junkyard camp :^)

[@thrashmetalerinokripperino1246]

6:58 This is the game that made Kripp start HATING LIFE. Cant say I blame him though, hating life is pretty brutal. After video death metal: Hating Life - Grave

[@translaterinokripperino5824]

Don't you dare hit that dislike button! Or else 2 damage FACE!

[@denofeels5481]

you should call you gadgetzan cousin, he's better at damage

[@20quidd]

Daniel Dutra Nah

[@translaterinokripperino5824]

James Kung, no I play feign death :)

[@TheBriguy1998]

That second game was painful to watch

[@angeltenev1218]

Love Kripp's reaction at the end of it :D 12:20

[@randomchicken01]

I want to hear him talk about Ben Brode and why he's the best marketing scheme Blizzard have.

[@drbonehead]

I think he ranted about it in another video.

[@abzonline2410]

I spell the firelord: K-A-P-P-A

[@cowerinokripperino3946]

Moo.

[@lumeaduvoi]

You are my hero.

[@translaterinokripperino5824]

MOOOOOOOO!

[@deitus]

Moo.

[@ktg1300]

Cowerino Kripperino ruff

[@legoyoda9]

Moo

[@jackwinterheld4335]

"You don't have a single unique thought in your head" Pretty funny line, coming from a flamewaker mage player.

[@DrinksALottaTea]

lol yeah, he plays a 100% luckbased game, then complains that his supposed "bad" opponents won. Why are Hearthstone players so stupid?

[@S0UP3R_Duck]

Daniel, if it's 100% luckbased why do all the same pros reach top legend ranks while lots of people never pass rank 10? Surely if it was 100% luck based then you'd have them reaching different random ranks each season. Just because you're insecure because you can't get past rank 20.

[@Subvaries]

Conor B Why? Because it takes a massive amount of games to reach legend, let alone top legend. Most people have a life.

[@dannybacon6381]

Dropping them excuses

[@NorthWindStudios]

+Subvaries You also have to have an above 50% winrate against players of the same or better skill. If the game was 100% rng you would lose 50% and win 50% and never reach legend.

[@clipperinokripperino7128]

0:04 - [Talkerino] 2:27 - proper tempo Mage 6:56 - less than proper 12:33 - the big one 16:48 - bringing back a classic

[@oicmorez4129]

Played tree of life combo deck Called the wild 41 times in a row

[@keith3278]

With that kind of bad luck it's as though the star's aligned against you

[@keith3278]

or am I misinterpreting this ?

[@oicmorez4129]

i think you're right

[@keiganm1287]

Keith Pickett its called lying

[@artsenor254]

That's actually 0,000000000045% chances to happen. That's a point where we can consider he's lying, yeah.

[@masseyman2010]

''To put it lightly 'SOUL-CRUSHING'...'' hahaha The mage you faced had me in stitches!!

[@Magothys]

I found it effective to make a deck that revolved around charge minions that go face. Use the free spells for tempo. Managed to win a close game against a rogue as shaman: Reckless Rocketeer + Ancestral Spirit -> went face and used free Lightbomb -> went face again and used Reincarnate -> went face again, used coins from opponent's Trade Prince Gallywix and played a Wolfrider (I also had a second Reincarnate).

[@shiridenovo]

@Kripparrian I've never commented on your videos but watch them from time to time. Hearthstone player of about a year a half... but 'Less than proper' was the most hysterical thing I've seen from you. Just wanted to express that made me cry from laughter.

[@theviewerofart]

I didn't realize what Bolf was for until I saw the entire combo in Kripp's hand. Pretty fun and clever combo.

[@SuperRayman001]

He could've used Violet Illusionist instead, which would be so much smarter. (2 copies in deck and cheaper)

[@theviewerofart]

Yup. Style points for using Bolf though. The card that made getting a legendary in your TGT packs feel a little less special.

[@Jonashall1]

That second game vs the Mage, Kripp got REKT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Zero_Shift]

12:30 HE CUT OUT THE PART WHERE HE SAYS HEARTHSTONE RIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE LMAO

[@Baladucci]

Sans wait did he actually pronounce it "harth-stone"?

[@Baladucci]

Throw in a "Crack-en" and I'm all set

[@jk1302]

that part was so funny :C xD

[@fan23fan]

I made the decks mostly with spell damage minions. Worked nicely especially when I managed to get swipe.

[@Phenodreum]

Did anyone else notice the screen glitch right before it gives you the random spell? It just happens occasionally.

[@TheOverload000]

anyone else notice at 23:07 when kripp hovers over ethereal conjurer we can see the spell his opponent got (from tol barad effect) before it was played

[@jmanmac10]

Why use Bolf over Violet Illusionist? Its cheaper and you can put 2 in the deck.

[@chelfyn]

I would love it if they replaced the part time single game tavern brawl with a permanent tavern, with a range of brawls available all the time.

[@jakejason4333]

I subscribed when he played path of exile. I only played hearthstone for maybe half a year, but still watch his videos every day.

[@AxieSpot]

anyone else see the board glitch out at 13:21 ?

[@H0lyMoley]

I played "Astral Communion" druid, with giant minions, and found it pretty inconsistent, but hilarious to play. (Its win condition is "zero mana Call of the Wild".) Then I tried a low-cost minion buff Paladin - loads of one-drops, two-drops, divine shields and buffs - and found it a lot more consistent, but not as exciting. Definitely has a hugher win-rate though.

[@MrSnagi94]

A bunch of one and two drops with a warlock did the trick for me. Weirdly crazy value with drawing into a bunch of low cost spells. :P

[@xilofone8166]

i wasnt understanding where was he going until the very end

[@DJMack64]

When did you chip your upper front tooth? I can't stop looking at it now that i've noticed it.

[@Centaur987]

Playing King Krush into Call of the Wild is a great feeling

[@maxmuellerm]

9:50 is just brilliant xD

[@goksir5845]

4 Mana minions are the real deal. Evolved Kobold seems amazing. I mean, you get Swipe, Fireball, Mortal Strike, Polymorph and more. Sadly, you might also get astral communism, blade flurry and some others.

[@TopLaneChad]

Wow.. that Tree of Life combo was nasty

[@KevinSmith-vr3mg]

kripp the 35 legendary deck gets a nice bit of balance from this brawl! would recommend.

[@johnherrera5261]

kripp : "are these the only players left playing this game" you're God damn right

[@Kongaii]

Why was there a HS ad in the middle of the video?

[@efeoguzkurt8622]

Can we maybe have a tavern brawlerino out here?

[@BlueElthunder57]

I do the Tree of Life combo with Violet Illusionist. Don't have Bolf...

[@ktg1300]

That zoom in lol

[@nathansimons2138]

at about 13:59, the thing that flashes across the right side of the screen- is that normal?

[@MrKaseiyo]

the last one caught me by surprise o.o

[@antonamby7298]

12:19 - 12:32 New Hearthstone trailer confirmed. :D Also why are he running Bolf? Wouldn't Violet Illusionist be better?

[@jaxsonbateman]

I totally get Kripp's salt in that second game - I hate losing to people that you clearly have more skill than, when you get ridiculously bad luck (I think Kripp ended up getting what, 5-7 useless spells all up?).

[@Apremus]

It's amazing seeing Kripp playing brawls he's so happy :3

[@nova_supreme8390]

The added mana cost to Call of The Wild was bigger nerf than we expected.

[@sebastiaanhoek726]

Why not use violet illusionist instead of bolf?

[@karasiktheyoba9898]

I laughed way too hard on 16:44.

[@xanatar3009]

As a relatively new hearthstone player, that soulpriest + ramshield + tree of life made me happy

[@rensong5437]

12:30 "Beat the best" Lol Kripp please

[@kristinaisakov2117]

ive been playing astral druid in this brawl and having a blast :P playing a 10 drop you just top decked against a full board and getting doom is epic :)

[@kaioxys]

16:43 Kripp after he's finished with Rania confirmed guys!

[@charlesyang1258]

I played a ramp druid with as many 8 cost cards as possible. infinite twisting nether and lay of hands :D

[@user-eh3hk1fb8s]

I think you can use 3 mana Violet Illusionist instead of Bolf Ramshield, but whatever.

[@thebearisradd]

Salt, fucking, city on that second match versus the mage. Holy hell.

[@otakuryoga]

that mage deck in 2nd clip...the guy HAD to be going for the "play 50 mage cards" quest

[@fobusas]

How does this combo work? Why is tree of life 30hp when that mage has only 2hp missing? It says restore to full HP, not restore 30HP

[@fobusas]

I wasn't arguing about linguistics, but about logic. But if you want linguistics, text clearly says restore TO full health. Not restore full health, not restore missing, not restore 30hp. TO implies a starting point. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m, because starting point is always different. But upper limit is well defined: full health. You cannot heal more than full health, because if would break the text, because it would have healed to more than full health. And in this case healing 30 is healing to more than full health, which is breaking the text. Btw, you cannot heal 30hp, because for that to happen, one of heroes must be already dead. This combo breaks in at least two ways...

[@thebuttpeanut1713]

I like new energetic Kripp.

[@Ravenousjoe]

13:58 umm I think your gpu might be on its way out or you overclocked it too much. That or hearthstone has artifacting problems.

[@oneautumnleaf7716]

C-thun mage was awsome inthis brawl

[@JeffxMorrison]

Wait why is it bad to use spells in this TB? I get you generate a lot by playing minions but having removal isn't a bad idea...

[@markchang2964]

double blessed champion, with wyrm on board?? OP!! Always lucky

[@CxBrowne]

The second guy wasn't playing to beat you, but to break you.

[@YuutoHiroshige]

Aren't you immune to Tree of Light + Auchenai because of Ice Block?

[@kriscrossx122]

ice block doesn't proc on your turn, its why mill dmg kills an ice blocked freeze mage

[@adrianvaduva5674]

i think the mage was just playing for the mage cards quest

[@EpicUltraKingSmizzy]

13:37 why is he shaking and moaning... is rania under the table?

[@treax3751]

12:20 got me laughing so hard!

[@SuperRayman001]

Uses Bolf when he could use Violet Illusionist. Why?

[@TenkDD]

funnier

[@TerminallyNerdy]

I built a Grimy Goons paladin deck. Since its mostly minions it works pretty well lol

[@Whaltteri]

Why does Kripp have to say it out loud that his opponents make bad moves and that they are bad? Can't he just ignore that and just play? I don't know but its pissing the hell out of me

[@Kefka2010]

Whaltteri Yeah, what a fucking baby making fun of a new player. How childish do you have to be to make fun of someone who is new at the game and then you lose to them.

[@tumorrumor749]

Danial B. how do you know they're new?

[@Jarczenko]

Whaltteri We can learn from him whats plays are bad

[@wouldnotcouldnot]

You are just a dog.

[@AsgharRaz]

found the net-decking moron

[@Ryuudo123]

12:18 the salt is strong with this one

[@rawhide303]

At least you were playing a rogue when you got two blade furrys, I was not so lucky.

[@rowandwyer324]

IS there any reason to not play Antonidas in this?

[@S0UP3R_Duck]

He's too slow.

[@Al_Does_Stuff]

Played Greed astral communion druid because why the hell not :P

[@Norbert92]

I found that playing grimy goons with as much card draw as possible and no spells works quite fine

[@The_Hamdalorian]

How come that tree of life didn’t kill him too?

[@LEPShot262]

OH BOY NEW KRIPP AND IM EARLY DOSENT MATTER THO CUZ IM NOT A KRIPPERINO OH WELL HAHA ha :,(

[@lemondude6174]

LEPShot262 :>

[@Urza26]

We are all kripperinos in spirit.

[@storysmith5626]

that mage in the 2nd game though 😦😦😦

[@fal1026]

Astral communion came up way too fucking much.

[@grantzolldan]

I don't know why people keep complaining about Flamewaker in this brawl. Yes, it's insanely powerful, the most impactful card for the brawl, but in this format the tempo swings are very significant and cannot be determined by a single minion. Play around it. Expect it. Have some fun c:

[@Roflmano]

King Krush into Call of the Wild tho

[@rensong5437]

16:28 "TWO blessed champions... he got TWO! Out of all the spells in the game. This is some bullshit"

[@FlowFizzo]

Skip the Kripp 2:26

[@MsUncleKevin]

The last game was so good. Kripp crushed that retarded tempo mage super easy.

[@Zenin24]

I battled some asian guy on an NA server with net deck pirate warrior. He then manages to duplicate frothing berserker. I've never been so salty

[@malango255]

i wrecked people with astral communion. good times

[@Knucklez33]

U should try your 25 legendary deck in this brawl

[@facemcshooty420]

my brawl was a turn 3 win with murlocs ^^

[@adernain]

Amazingly well balanced. Only mages with Flamewaker and Mana wyrm

[@szcs95]

I played dragon rogue with pirates and nozdormu, ez game

[@skytree3993]

does kripp edit his own video?

[@TestSubjectEpsilon]

No

[@RussianPS3]

You already used this thumbnail on "How Bad is Majordomo Executus?"

[@KKiro11Oficiall]

Next adventure heroic deck: Pirate ( Pick a class: Rogue/Warrior/Shaman) .

[@drewwreds6934]

second guy had to be trolling right? there's no way you miss lethal like that but still know how ice barrier works

[@mookiecookie44]

Both this brawl and the christmas brawl I've played straight pirate warrior and won literally 80+ percent of my games. I'm an asshole, I know. But this really says something about the state of Hearthstone in general...

[@mookiecookie44]

luv u bb

[@lukyangho]

How does one get salty over Tavern Brawl? Kripp sure knows how 4Head
