[@Mathmachine]

Jade Spirit might have the best dang summoning cry ever. I love that energetic "WOO WOO!", sounds so happy.

[@AlphaTwins]

Mathmachine Because dicks like me dislike it *I AM THE ONE*, *DABS*

[@Mathmachine]

The will of the masses. Good/popular comments get upvotes, bad ones don't. I have no sway over that, I just comment. Also, I may be on Kripp's friend list, but that's about as far as that goes. No benefits or special privileges or anything of that nature.

[@AlphaTwins]

Mathmachine well ur one hell of a tryhard

[@derpsalot6853]

no u

[@Necroskull388]

I also love the Weasel's cry. The wheezing laugh perfectly fits such a troll card.

[@spoilerinokripperino5914]

The title suggests Anti-Warrior, while there's only ONE Warrior encountered in this video. And nothing to spoil in that game because the opponent SUCKS. Highlight: 5 mana 5/6 "devolves" into 4 mana 7/7 and 2 mana 3/2 into 3/1 with windfury LUL 8:12 Self mill Brann 21:49 0 mana 10/10 devolve into Mayor Noggenfogger 23:27, and the Anomalous 23:33 LUL. Never lucky ResidentSleeper Kripp thinks he had it. 25:23 Win rate in the end 6-2. You're welcome.

[@CHAOSCLOUD14]

just saved me 30 minutes, thanks

[@Kronos51]

What is this BS. Kripperino accounts are supposed to spam dumb memes, not actually be helpful.

Did you just assume the card's gender? Kappa

i have valued cards in my deck that identify as male thankyou ver ymuch

[@jomeugenio7955]

Did u just assume a card's gender?

[@PistolShrimpPimp]

It was like watching a play for kids, and that one kid that runs out and back because they weren't sure if it was there turn to come on stage. Then one of the teachers shoved him back out.

If you are reading this, then listen to me! Don't scroll down more, the kripperians have taken over everything, it's lost. *TAKE MY WARNING AND LEAVE!!*

[@vibingwiththewind2889]

Try replacing a Devolve with a White Eyes - the taunt grants a win condition and a defensive tool if it should fall to that - and I think the deck is better.

[@luk4aaaa]

what's a good replacement for thalnos? is the card draw or spell dmg more important?

[@Wingsaber]

Llamad Mow Nononononono he NEEDED the second devolve for that noggenfogger against the Druid

[@arrowlesskneee]

The beauty of Thalnos is he is very fluid in how you use him, you should save up for him because he is one of those legendaries that will always see play.

[@stvehernandez700]

+Duckehhh h things that makes thalanos so strong is that he is a single card the covers to things both draw and spell power for cheap

[@JustSomeGuyInAChairIDunno]

the best thing about thalnos is his versatility, drop him for card draw if you are desperate, use it to destroy a threat or give you a push for lethal (both with the spellpower and the draw). That's why he's a staple in so many decks. I guess you could replace it with a kobold geomancer but you're really going to feel the drop in power.

[@gferrol118]

I'm glad kripp beat that warrior since he kept spamming emotes, because he thought he would win

[@SaithMasu12]

beating shit warriors is what makes me happy, especially shit warriors that spam emotes and then loose like they would get fucked twice from behind. Its so awesome.

[@zeeiremonger9201]

he wa sprobly just spamming emotes cus he noticed it was kripp

[@earthtaxfree]

well its all about luck...RNG favor wins the game..there are those that kinda imagine skill in this game but those are kids in 99 % of the times...rest understand if your RNG is in favor you win...end of story...

[@ZxChrono]

Pretty sure he wasn't spamming because he thought he would win lmao

[@gorrillawarfair]

that anomalus play really highlights the the importance of understanding game mechanics (knowing that your deathrattle will trigger after the minion you kill because it was played first.)

[@tigermeny]

Or that was the only sensible kill?

[@HoorenSan]

Try to figure out a deck against weasel tunnneler !

[@JREG]

man kripp's really destroying the breakneck meta of rank 14

[@toukosiren9004]

Bruh

[@mauriceflores3343]

I love how Blizzard's logic of how to fix broken decks is just making every class broken in its own way

[@Bokan96]

If everyone is OP then no one is OP :)

[@CynerKalygin]

Bokan96 #DotA

[@gorrillawarfair]

miracle rogue is doing pretty good 50% of the time. that 50% relies almost 100% on whether you have the auctioneer between turns 5-8

[@gorrillawarfair]

rogue is not fucked it's just a coin flip class

[@TheTobiXXL]

Not at all. Pirate Tempo Rogue as well as Miracle Rogue seem to be in a decent spot. Multiple players have already piloted variants of both decks to legend - which can't be said for any Paladin or Hunter deck, for example. Just because r/hearthstone likes to circlejerk about Rogue doesn't mean it's actually bad.

[@CynerKalygin]

Lothras pirate tempo rogue isn't rogue. People play the rogue class in constructed for a unique combo deck experience. If they wanted to play pirate tempo they would just draft arena instead.

[@753rohit]

I use devolve as an awesome silence effect... especially spectacular against buff paladin!

[@lifetake3103]

it's a very sad card against the jade storm however

[@nedflanderinokripperino56]

Hi-didly-ho, neighborinos! NedFlanderino Kripperino here!

[@FatalityScouter15]

Shit

[@SuperBeaverDuck]

NedFlanderino Kripperino L

[@conductorinokripperino3577]

Follow the hand!

[@PurifyWithLight]

that last devolve was ruthless

[@moldyendsend]

That one card at 14:44 is my spirit animal

[@Serpher1]

"Oh it's not a mid-range Shaman, it's some weird shit" lol

[@RichD2024]

Shaman has so many absurdly powerful cards, you can close your eyes and make a deck with random Shaman cards and still beat most other non-Shaman decks.

[@jodyboles8208]

eh i wouldnt say that lol

[@KhaPha]

that's funny cuz three expansions ago that would have been the most outlandish statement anyone could make lol

[@jodyboles8208]

KhaPha still is lol

[@heatherkramer3139]

Devolve I have gotten mixed results from. Against some decks it just destroys stratagies and other decks it somehow manages to backfire spectacularly. Basically don't use against Shaman with totems and don't use against lots of jade golems.

[@gerritdeman6410]

The first devolve that was used against me turned my obsidian destroyer into a big-time racketeer...

[@thebigboy036]

i just battled a priest who made his hero power cost 0 than went into shadowform and played coldora drake. i knew he had won but i made him click the full 26hpand 23 armor

[@Woodshadow]

First guy was clearly sniping. He know it was Krip and that's why he kept saying hello. Then quit before his board was wiped

[@michelgt591junior]

Alchenai + That new healing potion = you would be dead, Kripp

[@michelgt591junior]

oh

[@jaxsonbateman]

Have seen so many druids shuffle first with their Jade Idols - and unless they're running only a single copy of them (which seems like madness in a Jade Golem dedicated deck), it seems like madness. Admittedly I haven't done the theorycrafting, but intuition tells me that you want to play the first one as a Golem every time (in order to buff your counter up, as well as developing the board earlier when it's more important), and then only shuffle in more copies when you're down to your last copy. I get the reasoning people probably have behind shuffling it first (higher chance to draw it on each subsequent turn), but really, do you want to be drawing that as opposed to any of your other Jade cards, or any of your 5+ mana cards? It's going to be rare that you're going to be able to shuffle your first idol after having played every other card you'd rather be drawing than an Idol.

[@trysephiroth007]

I guess it depends on your hand and the matchup

[@jaxsonbateman]

Off the top of my head, the only time I could consider that appropriate is if you're playing a miracle druid style deck and thus want to draw into more 1 mana spells when you play your Auctioneer. Besides that, it's going to be rare that you're going to want to draw a card that just creates a Jade Golem when you likely still have cards that create Jade Golems, as well as other strong lategame cards like Rag or Blackpaw. Again, no theorycrafting, but intuitively it seems wrong. Seems like the situations where you should make Jade Idols out of your non-last Idol are: 1) when the quality of the remaining cards in your deck is on average less powerful than playing a Jade Idol as a golem (so basically half your cards less are inferior to golems) or 2) you're playing a miracle druid style of deck.

[@tonyrosetti2738]

It depends on the matchup. In a slow matchup, you are at an advantage and should probably go for more greed and shuffle it in. Its not like a control deck is going to pressure you much (they might try though). The faster the matchup, the more likely it is correct to summon the golem. It all depends on how much pressure you get, since you can pretty much auto-win the late game against every deck with enough Jade Idols.

[@trysephiroth007]

The Jade Druids I've seen are a miracle style deck. They get lots of idols in their deck then go off with Fandral/Auctioneer.

[@geolegg736]

the old handlock and Reno locks are pretty good at stomping the warriors

[@123vitorthebest321]

devolve can be pretty good against murloc paladins! use it when his board has lots of murlocs before he plays his first anyfin!

[@maxpheby7287]

Makes anti warrior deck, plays no warriors.Never lucky.

[@gattzu4280]

That belongs in a museum!

[@tgatta]

I just used this deck for the first time and won 3 back to back games against dragon priest. Can't wait for the warrior match-up.

[@remyllebeau77]

That's the story of my deck building life. If you build for playing against zoo, you don't fight zoo. If you build for control you end up getting rushed down. Feelsbadman

[@Adam-082]

he played one

[@HgHgHgHgHgHgHgHg]

That devolve on the first clip made me laugh

[@Randomentalist]

The Jade Druid game: Shuffle or no guts.

[@kkme7]

Love the Devolve shenanigans!

[@vetrovladwindmaster1724]

All warriors are legend already :D

[@portugaltheman6]

i love it when the jade druid spends half the game putting more idols in their deck. i typically beat them before they get a golem above a 5/5 lol

[@iceragerinokripperino1842]

why dont you spice your decks up a bit? just use me

[@Shepper99]

IceRagerino Kripperino Yes, SpICE them up

[@candy-ass4915]

Pretty sure that'd be a way to cool them off. Magma Rager is the hot spicy pick.

[@norberthegyi1699]

Do you guys *know* what is the best thing in this deck? No cards are going into wild with the next rotation.

[@tgr3423]

Norbert Hegyi Holy shit, you're right. That means this Deck's power is always going to be relevant in standard.

[@norberthegyi1699]

+S H I T P O S T Oh, true :)

[@TheScholesie09]

23:00 Yeah obvious misplay, didn't hit around taunt.

[@castilater]

I think he meant "hit it with the 5 damage choice"

[@michaelcouturier6513]

just clicking on the vid too see the kripperino dudes

[@PandemoniumFortress]

Zoo is a great counter to Pirate Warrior and Jade Druid. It gets wrecked by RenoLock and Priest though.

[@RobbyOdom]

im loving Jade Shaman atm

[@Ensivion]

Devolve is a good counter to these new buff-paladin decks too. (Don Han'Cho buffing Dopplegangster is GG against almost all decks).

[@ShaitanM-lk3rm]

I've found that reno dragon priest easily out values and out clears regular dragon priest. The diversity and value raza kazakus and reno provide are quite valuable. diversity seems to beat consistency.

[@ianhall1613]

27:30 Deathwing would save him, but the real savior is coldlight into bran coldlight

[@vikingrfamily]

Jade Spirit is my personal favourite card, WOO HOO! :D

[@00Dann99]

-2 Devolve -1 Hallazeal the Ascended +2 Hex +1 White Eyes

[@bunbunbunok]

Happy Feast of Winter Veil!!

[@despayeeto3014]

These Jade Golem decks remind me of Yasuo from league of legends. He's SO CRAZY BROKEN, but actually not braindead.

[@jhonnylee6685]

if u won the board u can be as brain dead as u wish (as long as u know how to smorc) and if yasuo is fed enough he is also brain dead ^^

[@evandiemer2494]

Kripp's BM is so savage!!!!

[@kyleneeley1]

I was playing rank 19 the other day with a control-ish rogue deck trying out the new cards and I seriously faced 4 face hunters IN A ROW and lost every match. So my bright idea was to make a counter deck to it and of course I played about 5 more games with that deck and didn't come across a single hunter....

[@domblaze]

Seems like if you wanted anti-warrior, removing an Azure Drake in favor of Harrison Jones would have been a better fit

[@puriadon]

speed up the video up to 2x and you won't miss a single word. you're welcome.

[@facelessgames94]

I'm happy because I made a deck similar to this earlier today. Kripp I am become you

[@hasmeibeenbuffedyet2675]

WOOHOO!!!

[@fireraptor3494]

What thing does he use at the side to show his cards ? Deck helper ?

[@redefynexx]

Kripp if you get a chance you should make an Evolve deck. These dopplegangsters + barnes, my gosh golly, you can really get some beafy minions on turn 6. Dopplegangster- Evolve = three 6 costs minions ;)

[@Luminari-Music]

doing good with this deck thank you kripp as always, great deck building!

[@Haydin1117]

Oh good, the solution is to spam a midrange shaman variant. Yaaaaaay =/

[@jymnasium]

Thanks Kripp for the fun deck ideas :)

[@scampjot]

I *LOVED* this moment 23:22 x'D

[@MrTheScholar]

I hope all these jade decks won't leave people being jaded

[@thebloodybonecrusher]

im actually gonna build this deck it looks pretty fun

[@ulrichbuceron4232]

Look around 14:43 - 14:46 when the paladin draw cards with divine favor, one is buging

[@ubadman1]

devolve actually could get a small niche in the meta. if deathrattles or taunt warrior ever takes off.

[@bogymanthedark]

get ready for new kripperinos

[@raulzatarain4898]

that last devolve... ouch

[@jhonnylee6685]

hia last jade golem was a 4 mana 7/7 battle cry deal 4 dmg

[@WoodieW]

so what he implies in the Intro... everything Jade is opiopi as hell?

[@lizardweedzard4495]

2:11 I have kidnapped Skipperino Kripperino

[@duckerinokripperino7067]

quack

[@6slade]

I'd say running one devolve is good, two seems to be pushing value.

[@RifleCrafter]

Replace one devolve with white eyes

[@javent5531]

14:40 Phantom glitch draw

[@elijahman22]

Kripp have you thought about running Brewmasters for increased Jade synergy?

[@tressiascott7806]

I really like this deck! I do not have as good of luck as you do with it lol, but I really like playing it none the less!

[@gferrol118]

I made a Reno dragon priest deck, and so far the only deck I have lose to was a paladin with loads of hand buffs, and charge

[@dasagoodone8545]

gferrol118 try running mass dispel

[@gferrol118]

nathan nguyen doesn't really help since they're buffing charge minions. A 11 attack Leroy can't be mass dispelled :P

[@gferrol118]

raynaldo arlen k.eman Ive only been against it once in around 20 games, so I dont think I need to change my deck just to counter them. Also, I like making Reno decks since it makes you play differently than you normally would

[@abeljonathan7324]

of course its powerful when you have all the cards

[@Jason0binladen]

Jade Golem nerf? make them all 3-3 no growing all those effects just summon a 3-3 now that's fair

[@blastwave2k]

turns out devolve pretty good against deathrattle. playing my deathrattle jade rogue and was pretty sad to watch a couple deathrattles and a raptor get turned into other crap

[@TopLaneChad]

What happens if you devolve a 0 drop? Also what happens if you evolve an 10 drop... I don't think there are any 11-cost minions

[@TheMrCarnification]

23:28 he really did miss lethal

[@tgr3423]

UncommonReality I've checked and rechecked so many times. The chances of lethal were next to impossible, since Mayor Noggenfogger would've ensured that. He had to clear the taunt first, which would've left him 3 short of lethal without using lightning storm, and since he didn't have two spell damage minions, the lightning storm wouldn't have cleared the taunt. At least that's what I saw.

[@druumuuluum]

How? Noggenfogger means he can't hit face reliably.

[@TheMrCarnification]

oh yh, i was wrong, in that case i really dont understand why he said he missed it, i tried to see when that would be and thought it was at 23:28 but you are right, i forgot about the mayor's effect

[@ShinRyuuk]

Potions, Jade and Buffs are in for this expansion. Makes me wildly curious what they'll be able to come up with for the next expansion, since BRM, TGT and LoE are being rotated out with the next year, right? Also Funny and Lucky moments, Devolve special?

[@aesthetic4829]

I honestly can't figure out why someone would put Devolve in their deck competitively. It looks really interesting though

[@strongside4565]

That devolve was not good lol. Trading Aya in and using storm gives you a big board vs a 4/2 or 4/1 and Azure + storm is a 50/50 for lethal.

[@oniuserjh]

devolve a 5 mana 5/5 into a 4 MANA 7/7 SUCH AMAZING VALUE :D

[@HellfireBowsa]

Since I don't see SKipperino Kripperino... 2:11

[@askanisun]

Devolve is a perfect counter....

[@Zinner95]

14:40 sup with that card going in and out of that other dudes deck ? x)

[@StandardTrickyness]

because Shaman needed some help OMG whiteeyes WTF blizzard

[@tonythetiger953]

Today i played a game where i was such a fucking idiot that i played brann after the battlecry so to see some high level plays cheers me up

[@walrusdojo]

Can someone explain the Lightning Storm play to me at 23:36 ? It seemed to me he could've hit the 1/7 with his 7/5 and triggered Anomalus with his 6/4 and have an 8/8 left on the board after.

[@Drako2k0]

lolol this expansion has birthed so many 30 hp concedes it's hilarious

[@TomChanTomccl]

you just saved the world

[@otakuryoga]

lol 23:27 that was hilarious

[@ilyass3751]

0:00 watcherino kripperino

[@Vago-dc6qg]

amazing idea to devolve 10 mana creature with stats 7-1

[@yasinkhan4620]

which deck should I make jade rogue or pirate rogue?
