You can argue Explore Un’Goro saw play because the effect of just replacing your deck was so garbage, if you used another card that (temporarily) swapped your deck with your opponent, then played the card, after the decks swapped back your opponent’s deck was now just filled with garbage that you could even delete with Skulking Geist if you wanted to.

I remember Fel Orc Soulfiend being used in zoolock back in the day. Paired with other threats like flame imps and the 1/5 Mayor guy that gained attack when you summon stuff, turns out opponents couldn't always afford to give Fel Orc Soulfiend a response, so you could easily get 6 or more damage in, and if it was about to die Warlock had cards that would kill it for more value/tempo, or just use Power Overwhelming and kamikazi it against a big taunt (edit: or the opponent's face)

[@magnumpiorizanni4413]

Yeah, I remember something like that. Not that meta, but it was slottable in a meta deck. I played with this one

[@benkentucky4380]

I remember this too, it gummed up the board on turn 3 and presents 9 damage if ignored. Most 3 drops won't live more than three turns either. Worked in zoo, but I'm sure didn't make all lists

I AIN'T TALKIN! The Rat should never be underestimated Also, lore answer: Mak'gora is a sacred tradition in which you duel to the death WITHOUT magic. It's often used in major disagreements to assert new Warchiefs or to challenge old ones. Thrall and Garrosh had a Mak'gora almost a decade ago and most recently Sylvanas and Saurfang had a Mak'gora.

so dirty rat has an equivalent in undercards: receptionist 3. it’s identical in every way (including rarity) but with 3/3/7 stats. it’s only usable in totem decks, which want to get a lot of 7-costs and 7-hps into the graveyard, because recep is by far the cheapest one. the deck also has melt, 3 mana deal an ally’s hp to the enemy in front of it, so you can pretty much always clear the enemy monster pulled if necessary (also 4 board slots)

To explain Remote-Controlled Golem: This was actually based on a classic era WoW quest. You would be trying to ease drop on a few people vital to the defias brotherhood plotline, and the gnome who was operating the npc part of the quest used the golem so the priest you were baiting couldn't read it's mind. He even disguised it as a woman, and it went quite well. The quest would have been pretty forgettable except 1: The quest was REALLY HARD for it's intended level as you needed to fight two overpowered (thankfully not elite) npcs, and 2: you got likely your first ring, and the ring was really good. So you kinda had to do it.

I think CGB misunderstood Academic Espionage as copying the cards in your opponent’s deck. That would actually make it pretty good.

Fel orc soulfiend was almost entirely unplayed for one reason. You could run a 3/4 instead. Play 3/4, hit 3/3, it lives. Play 3/7, goes to 5 on your turn, hit 3/3, goes to 2, is effectively dead. Cgb nailed it that it did see fringe play in priest decks, though. Wasn't good... but it was done.

[@TheNesdsachannel]

Dirty rat was meta in Taunt warrior, it was meta in Control match ups because some control decks relied on spells to win the game or things like you guys even mentioned: DR.BOOM. Paladin mostly ran it because they can change the stats on something so even if you pull a 6/6 dr boom like turn 6, you can turn it into a 3/3 and smack with with a sword. Dirty rat is a main stay in counter control decks with just FAT decks or equally control vs control match ups. Loads of cards back in the day had incredible battle cries that were win cons of their own. Pull a Jabbering boyo and the entire enemy deck just died if it does. Great card in the past.

[@sk8rdman]

Frozen Mammoth didn't see a lot of play, but it was honestly very good in my enrage fire warrior deck. It would get buffed by your other cards, and the opponent would almost always let it live, hoping you didn't have a fire spell. And if they did kill it, they probably spent 2 or more cards doing it because it was so big. it wasn't a popular deck, but I had a ton of success with it, and Frozen Mammoth was really the dark horse of the deck.

I love that Darkmanes hearthstone video is still regarded as one of the best hearthstone videos 😂

You should make a video where you show CGB or someone the 2024 lineups and kinda talk over the decks and maybe make them try to pick the winner/runners up or something.

I remember free bird being one of wincons in Sonya rogue deck by the end of Festival of Legends

The specifics of “Mak’gora” is a little bit even more specific. Usually it’s invoked to challenge a leader you think isn’t doing something correctly. So like if you’re part of the Warsong clan and you think your leader is running your people into the ground, you could challenge him to Mak’gora. It’s extremely rarely done because the orcish leaders generally are the strongest of their clan. It has also been something adopted by the Horde and used in other scenarios. When Garrosh became the warchief, Cairne challenged Garrosh to Mak’gora even though Cairne is a Tauren. Saurfang challenged Sylvanas to Mak’gora later on to use his death (he wanted to die in battle as that is what gives an orc warrior’s life honor) as a rallying cry for the rest of the horde to fight against her.

You could probably show the entire card of "Remote Controlled Golem" to the world champion with the text blanked out, and he wouldn't have a clue!

Blue constantly saying "minions are not spells" reminds me of "fish are friends, not food" xd

There are a lot of cards in these videos (like saboteur) that I know I saw it played/played a deck and I want to commit it was played. And every time I remember it was a Roffle video where I saw it/got the idea for the deck.
