[@danikrimm99]

Some fun background info: "oops all spells" is an actual deck archetype in MTG. The premise of the deck is that you mill cards until you hit a land, but as you don't have lands in your deck, you mill your whole deck ("oops"). You then win in various ways by decking out

[@lucjanl1262]

How tf you play cards if you have no lands and thus no mana to play cards? Are all cards 0 mana or do you run something like black lotus or (smth)?

[@liorramati265]

It depends on the format - in some formats you use fast mana (things like lotus petal and simian spirit guide. Similar to lotus but way less busted) to get 4 mana on the one turn you go off, and then since you win that turn, it doesn't matter that you don't have any more mana for later. And in other formats you use MDFCs, double sided cards with a spell on the front side (which is what the mill spells see when they check to see what they milled) and a land on the backside (which you can play from hand, although they all come in to play tapped or cost tons of life) There also used to be a version of the deck (it might still exist? Not sure) that played a very minimal number of lands (maybe even just 1?), and a bunch of spells that let you tutor it for free under specific conditions the deck was constructed to always meet

[@nogai2296]

I think that magtheradon was a little unfair because when you never actually run magtheradon, you just get it off of window shopper and not out of your deck, and dr boom and the mech package are at least somewhat playable

[@rasmusforchhammer9557]

Agreed, Magtheridon isn't a better card on its own.

[@stephenw5488]

Exactly, esp now with Boom & Zilliax as a combo Magtheridon is almost never played IN the deck, and even tho it’s been played a ton its always played from 3 mana, or 1 mana bc of window shopper

[@joshprice4855]

I loved this. You got to see how each persons preferred game affected their evaluations Stevie, a yugioh player, leans toward cards that offer the decisive moment. Yugioh is a fast game where one misplay or point of interaction can literally make or break the game for you. Things that offer a singular point of "if this high rolls I just win." Makes sense. I know he called it a gambling addiction but I think it makes perfect sense. On the other hand CGB is a mtg player. That game is a lot slower and you're not guaranteed resources. It makes a lot of sense that he'd pick a lot more of the "this thing is consistent. I know I'm getting x things every time I play it." That tracks, the best cards in magic are ones that always perform well even if their ceiling isnt high. Hearthstone is probably more like magic than yugioh so CGB getting the turnaround made a lot of sense to me. That said both guys did great!

[@hugomendoza5665]

[@stefanlish]

@@dyciefisk2535 there is a harp weapon that neglects damage you take on your own turn (even heals you), there is symphony of sins that fills your deck with 5 cards, and zilliax (a minion) can shuffle back into your deck, so yeah with this deck you never take fatigue damage or once after you play wheel of death

[@H0C0X]

I was thinking between Kelthuzad and Vectus immediately when the cards popped up, because technically kelthuzad saw more play, but its extremely close because neither saw play, and vectus just never had any good deathrattle minions printed with him. He's have been really good in many future metas. But for 2 whole years, kelthuzad saw play in 1 deck, but vectus saw play in zero, so i guess kel wins.

[@tuesti7c]

I dont remember ever seeing kelthuzad see play. I do remember vectus in every curse deck

Pretty sure it has to be Kelth. He actually saw play in a standard playable deck.

[@amethonys2798]

Elise Badlands Savior's issue is the same issue that a lot of "board in box" cards historically have: they come out so unbelievably late it doesn't matter since any control deck is clearing you anyway. This is ESPECIALLY true when they are printed in "non-minion focused" classes like Mage/Priest where that Brawl has been burning a hole in the opponent's hand for 6 turns now anyway and you finally gave them a use for it. Elise is only marginally better than the one mage card from Kobolds or whatever that filled a board with 5/5 vanillas if you played big spells and that card was ass 6 or however many years ago for the same reason.

[@Lucama221]

Yeah the only decent one ever was the cloning gallery from Boomsday.

[@juliandacosta6841]

I don't think priest even had a lot of good deathrattles, you were just kind of hoping to hit amanthul. It was just a huge restriction to not have duplicates and not have minions that are vanilla when summoned.

[@androkguz]

I think you guys should have seen what chump did with Elise. That card is nasty and hearthstone players are simply losing creativity

[@amethonys2798]

@androkguz I wouldn't take Chump's decks for much of anything. I watch all his videos and half of the time he doesn't even say the winrate of the deck (gee I wonder why) and the other half is saying it is barely over 50% while he plays in 12k+ legend.

[@danielclark612]

Elise crushed. It was common for Priest to play it 3 turns in a row with bounce effects. Rarran missed the mark, and hearthstone players need more creativity.

[@redsnipingshot]

Which is especially weird since it's really an 8 mana 25/25...

[@reallybigcircle]

In my opinion, the reason why The Great Hall was never really played was because control paladin really wasn't a deck at the time. Paladin was, and still is, all aggro, and aggro doesn't want to play a 2-mana do nothing. If control paladin was a thing, The Great Hall would have seen more play.

[@wgcdrelliot8989]

Control highlander paladin was a thing in wild. One of the best decks in fact. I easily got legend with it. And yes i had great hall in the deck. Even though it was probably the weekest card

[@Aang139]

I also wonder what it's arena play stats were (if arena still exists). Great hall does seem great for control, but also seems great for arena where your opponents ability to play around nerfing stats is more limited. Like it reminds me of a handful of stat modifying cards you would see play in mtg draft, but never in constructed.

[@joshg2188]

We have definitely had slower Paladin decks, the card is just trash.

[@Cuestrupaster]

Agree, but still it doesn't make the answer, wrong since the Great Hall wasn't played in the meta...

[@N12015]

I'm sure Paladin had control back in the trial miniset. It did noy used the card because there are better removal.

[@GumshoeClassic]

Very proud of CGB for not having an Oko-induced allergic reaction to "turn things into 3/3s" like I did.

[@gardian06_85]

Great hall at least let them keep the text. Oko: said "target thing is now, mediocre stat, textless, trash"

[@adamxue6096]

The difference is in how Oko transforms the card into an ability-less 3/3 Great Hall doesn't make a taunt divine shield reborn thing lose any of its more defining qualities The issue lies in the fact that you need to always spend 1 more resource to actually get rid of the threat, unless the threat literally is nothing but stats, only then is Great Hall actually a whole removal in itself. If it was Oko, it would basically be 2 mana 3 times use Polymorph and I think people would absolutely play it

[@GumshoeClassic]

@@adamxue6096 Of course Oko is way better, no question asked. I know how he works and what makes him good, experienced it first-hand. It's just that "transform into 3/3" immediately reminds me of Oko and my hatred for that damn piece of cardboard.

Between Vectus an KT, i feel like people tried to use Vectus in a lot of decks and it never really worked. On the other hand, people tried to use KT in a lot of decks and it worked exactly once. I feel like apart from that one deck, Vectus is the better card. But that one deck did exist so KT wins.

[@amethonys2798]

Vectus' issue in standard was mediocre at best deathrattles (pretty much all value based like shuffling more primes) and the fact the whelps he summoned didn't have rush or taunt. You'd play him on 5 (hopefully), your opponent ignores them, you trade them off on 6, and then on turn SEVEN you can finally do something with anything that pops out of the whelps.

[@andychiu860311]

I remember vectus being playable but I can’t recall which deck it was

[@vaspeter2600]

It was probably a pretty skill-intensive deck, but I remember Kibler using Vectus in a warlock deck revolving around Envoy Rustwix (his "prime gaming" warlock deck)

[@DDG98]

Wasn't the best thing ever but vectus was part of the stall/fatigue priest control deck at the time for getting more lifesteal taunt bois

[@suckieduckie]

@@amethonys2798 Even if you play it on 5, it triggers deathrattles by minions that have already died. Most 1-4 cost minions don't have the most powerful deathrattles so playing it on curve doesn't even give the most value. With KT you can atleast see where the value lies. Play it turn 7-8 for 5 and kill something big with your remaining 2-3 mana to steal the big thing.

[@triceratops1260]

"what if it had overload 2" lmaoo that 4 mana 7/7 reference

[@xBrokenMirror2010x]

Vectus is niche playable in Wild Aggro because Egg Deathrattles are really strong, and 5 mana summon two 1/1 eggs is good. The decks aren't great, but its playable. I cannot imagine a single scenario in which I want to add a 5 mana premium to a removal to get the thing I'm removing. It would just sit in your hand doing nothing until you die. At least you can hardplay vectus as a 5 mana 6/6

[@SandwichGamer107]

true

[@MatsNorway]

Vectus plays faster as as it comboes with past plays not current turn. It can be AoE deathrattle and it can be armor, it can be carddraw and Face. Much more flexible. Can be played after a card draw as well versus top decking headmaster and then sit and wait to get the mana again.

Raid The Sky Temple - Unseal the vault seems way too slow, even if you're playing aggro by the time you've played 20 minions the game is probably already over Cathedral - Always picking anything that draws cards Yogg in the box - Wheel of death seems very fun to play but unfathomably bad?

"Cathedral says draw a card on it." Rarran, you gotta understand, "draw a card" is the most powerful set of three words you can print on a Magic card. It is near-impossible for a Magic player to resist card draw.

[@winsonlu3559]

I mean, as an mtg player I can say you’re pretty much right, but isn’t draw even more busted in yugioh?

[@maccaebus]

@@winsonlu3559Yes but also no. Draw is a more powerful mechanic in YGO, but effectively every deck has ways to search and/or draw what they need these days so simply "draw a card" isn't quite as strong as what most decks already have. In MTG by comparison, something that draws a single card is still one of your best options since deck searching outside of searching for lands is uncommon and costly, and there are precious few other mechanics to get things out of your deck and into play.

[@cynthia-op8rx]

Headmaster has to be like a 8-10 drop to actually do anything impactful, and that highly depends on what your opponent is playing; While Vectus is a 5 mana drop that may be played by himself (as long as you set up deathrattles first), and power-creeps along with any powerful deathrattles released in the future

[@videstroyerzi740]

I mean vectus 100% saw more play, there was 1 niche scenario where ke'thuzad was good and it relied on kel'thuzad either being the biggest minion, or you having the biggest minion. Vectus was nasty in its usage, I remember seeing it get some usage with defile or broomstick to instantly pop the deathrattles.

[@DinantZ]

There were no actual decks that even ran him. Headmaster at least existed in a few niche decks.

[@Corvustyx]

It's so bizarre hearing Vectis got no love, because I would play him in my big demon Warlock and he'd just summon two 5/5's with lifesteal or shuffle more Kanrethad Primes into my deck and just be insane value, meanwhile Kel was 5 mana while most board clears where 3+ mana so earliest you'd have value was turn 8. Even then it entirely depended on your opponent to have a worthwhile minion to steal and even if they did, they would usually be a slower deck with board clears to just immediately remove it. Along with Spellburst being janky, you have to make any preparations *before* Kel hit the board because it'd just pop the spellburst and you'd get nothing, so you couldn't (back then) be on turn 10, coin for 11 mana (or 12 now with audio amplifier), then play Kel and do whatever. He just wasn't good, too slow to matter. Vectis was just better imo, there was no depending on your opponent. If you had good deathrattles, you just ran Vectis.

[@DinantZ]

And how were you able to kill your Enhanced Dreadlord before turn 5 where you would play your Vectis? That's the situation you provided to say its better then Headmaster because he would be played in turn 8.

[@mamakrida5546]

rarran, but magtheridon as a 8 mana 12/12 is maybe more unplayable than boom? Like imagine a warrior deck where you could discover 16 inventor booms for 3 mana....

[@amethonys2798]

Tbf Magtheridon at 8 mana is unplayable. You arguably shouldn't even run the card in your deck because you don't even want to see it off the weapon over a window shopper.

[@ssspikesss]

@@amethonys2798 and u dont... magtheridon is played in less than 3 percent of decks, while boom is played in almost 30 percent of decks

[@viktor7258]

​@@ssspikessstbf inventor boom is starting to see play now after the patch bcs of reno warrior and its great synergy with 9 mana zilliax, but before I never saw it

[@Giperon1602]

I dont remember the exact decklist, but I remember that Vectus seen play in otk bomb warlock or something like that. He wasn't the main wincon there, but he was a good addition to the deck

[@amethonys2798]

Worth noting for Homunculus vs Scrap Imp is the classes they are in. Both are pretty much forced to be in "zoo" style decks and Warlock is probably 90% of the time the objectively better aggro deck compared to Priest (there are outliers like Undead Shadow Priest recently, but that's the 10%).

[@lulasgrelhadas]

STEVIE, HE'S BACK! I was wondering if you guys had a falling off, your hearthstone/yugioh collabs were great, you guys always riffed off of each other really well.

Rarran the kind of guy who doesn't use windex to clean his lens at 4:15

[@voidiara5181]

i’m shocked by how entertaining these videos are…. please more😭

[@mawillix2018]

Vectus was tried over and over and requires help from the opponent to actually be good. When the opponent didn't help you with Vectus, the card was really bad. KT found like 2 good combos, and if you failed, it was still a decent card later in the game.

[@NigelUnleashed]

I remember Vectus actually being played in some decks. Don't think I ever really saw Kel'Thuzad ever.

[@lpadevods]

This was amazingly edited, sheeesh

At 36:53 your face lighting up when u hear him get it wrong is actually priceless, u looked so happy he failed

“Legendary names used to be cool. Now we just have “Tyr” and “Sif”. These are what my 2nd grade cousin would name his action figures!’ Norse Pagans collectively groan.

[@icebox5378]

Congrats on the 200k subs Rarran!!!

[@vhaelen326]

2:25 the naming convention here is to just go with the name as all the titan forged people are just named after offbrand norse gods

[@NoxarBoi]

Most of them are off-brand names, but Tyr and Sif (and Freya) are just the actual names. But also, most of the other ones had titles like “Odyn, Prime Designate”, or “Loken, Jailer of Yogg-Saron”

[@vhaelen326]

@@NoxarBoi fair point on both things, thoug odyn and loken are alot more impactful then the rest so giving them extra titles also makes sense

[@ikea1394]

I really like the idea, and i found the part where you showed provoke as like a context card super intresting. I would love to see a video with the same kind of format but instead of showing two card to compare. Showing a group of cards that provide context for eachother to compare. For example do you think a deck built around wheel of death, big 15 15 life steal boi, and that location that makes another 15 15 boi is better then a deck built around window shopper magtheradon and the 3 2 glove discounting weapon.

[@Awesomesausages]

It is truly a blessing that Rarran's cat loves to hear him laugh as much as we do.

[@justus5879]

I love these two guests. Hopefully they can appear (even) more often

[@Conradd23]

What I want to see is Rarran reacting to Magic cards specifically in the Modern format. I don't know if CGB knows enough about the format to give full context for that though... I could give him a list of cards to show you if he would be interested though!

[@dutssz]

"What happened to naming conventions? Tyr and Sif are names a preschoolar would give to their characters" to two norse mythology gods

[@Narokkurai]

Vectus was actually used in quite a few decks. Not exactly meta, but if you had any deathrattles you wanted retriggered, Vectus was often worth slotting in. I never saw Kel'Thuzad though. Useless on curve, and still very limited at 10 mana, if you had the ability to play a 5 mana card and cast a removal spell, you'd probably just want a card your deck was built around rather than a pair of bodies.

[@masterofpastakai5570]

rarran continuing to make the top 1% quality of hs content kelthuzad turns your shadow word death into mind control. yeah he was played more than vectus

[@SnuggleKingHS]

Vectus had some cool Rogue interactions. I've never seen a good Headmaster. Like EVER.

[@colbystanek2502]

4:13 rarran cleaned my face so tenderly and lovingly. this is why he’s my favorite pokémon tcg content boy

[@FreddyChoppins]

Between Headmaster and Vectus, I'd say Vectus was the better card solely because I remember him actually seeing play, mainly in Warlock egg decks. I may be misremembering, but I barely even remembered Kel'thuzad, probably only saw him played a handful of times.

[@Havlark]

this is a great evolution of the "good or bad" card guessing format.
