The Impossible Hearthstone Legendary Weapon Challenge

[@colorfulfeathersbird]

I don't even play hearthstone but your matchmaking challenges are some of my favorite content on KZbin, i might even start playing the game because of them

[@JurnyJudasz]

Please don't. They are even more scammier than ever, im a little whale and play it becasus i just spend to much to left it

[@miname2306]

Agreed with this dude, LoR might be better for new plauers cuz it's f2p friendly and it's easier to learn

Today Rarran learns why The Lich King plays "Shut up, Priest"

[@sonnysumo8172]

You gotta do the Mecha’Thun win condition for every class. It probably won’t be easy for some classes, but man winning with that deathrattle was so satisfying.

I think Mark already did that. Edit: No, it's Chump who did it.

[@themostdiabolicalhater5986]

@@RazoRaptor93 you’d have to be a a chump to win with Mecha’thun with every class

[@ph1lny3]

Some things from a Wild perspective: -Paly Weapon actually did see play about 1 1/2 years ago in some handbuff lists (it was a strong deck when First Day of School was unnerfed). It wasn't a big part of the deck's winrate, but it was a good option if your "pocket meta" was greedy/slow. -Skull was still a strong card in Wild for a while, but cubelock is just a slow deck by today's wild standards -Aluneth was actually pretty strong in Secret Mage until Sayge got printed. -There's still the occasional KB dedicated player out there, but Swordfish is def the new version of the premiere rogue weapon. Some KB players have opted for a "Spellsbane" build that plays buffs then hides, similarly to "poison rogue" in standard. It's still a pretty big fall from grace.

[@breeze0203]

Also Val'anir can see play with the reborn quest

[@antman7673]

Skull is still a crazy strong card. It will likely come into the meta again some time in the future. Sure it is not game warping, but sure it is playable.

[@veepari]

This was also a bad time for this challenge as many decks run weapon removal due to Pirate Rouge.

[@Dazllingston]

@@breeze0203 tried it a couple of weeks ago. Reborn quest is too slow and unreliable, because most of reborn minions are bad for today's standarts, so playing almost half of them feels like wasting mana and skipping a turn. The worst part is that this ability in this deck is a "win more" effect, because if you've played low tempo minions, low tempo weapon, got a good proc and you are not dead it's a win already even without the weapon. Even paladin benefits more from this weapon, but, obviously, you can't play quest and it's not a main card in this deck.

[@deejayf69]

Honestly, reading this makes me depressed. Power creep ruined so many cards...

[@FloodclawKupo]

That Twig victory is probably the sickest accidental counterplay I've seen in 84 years

[@TrueXhomerS]

When the video got to Rhok'delar I was like "oh this should be easy, it was a great card in its time" then realised that it was a side strong piece in the deck with Zul'jin, NEEDING to draw it to win is pain xD

[@amberlee4536]

Twig of the World Tree had to be the easiest one. Twig, Sphere of Sapience, and Guff can hard carry most decks. Like, if those three cards are in your opening hand together, your opponent has probably lost the match already unless they're an incredibly fast deck. Edit: wow, the one matchup where you literally couldn't have won without the Twig/Sphere combo, amazing.

[@ninjanikstudios2280]

It’s funny seeing this now because the twig just got nerfed due to a wild combo with guff and sphere

[@EvilHoodieNinja]

'In Murder at Castle Nathria. We were introduced to the Suspects. Some of them were good. Some of them were bad. But I wanted to see if it was possible to win a game with every single one while making sure that their the reason I win.'

[@genzo454]

Gonna need to return to this in 3 years, see ya then.

[@acelgacosmica7626]

Hey Rarran! I really appreciate the effort you put in the editing of this video. The fast pacing of each game made it much more enjoyable than if you just put each full game. I really think that you are one of the best hearthstone content creators out there and it's a blast watching your videos and seeing your channel grow aswell. Best wishes from Argentina!

[@Poopies6969]

Love these challenges! The perfect combination of Hearthstone history, fun deck building, interesting opponents & self-torment.

[@brandontieu5490]

I loved Aluneth's prime in the game. It was both so satisfying to use it to burn down your opponent and also so satisfying to see someone else use it and mill while their hand was full and die to its fatigue. It reminds me so much of a certain yugioh duel with a certain god card...

[@awilix2068]

For the paladin one should have played making mummies with immortal prelate and just tried to make huge and infinite immortal prelate, slow yes funny also yes.

[@felipealvarado8801]

Its the only viable way and its good, not the best deck on wild, but it works

[@lucilasolier8583]

Hi, Rarran! I found your channel thanks to your crossovers with LoR players and streamers and I've been having so much fun with your videos! I haven't played Hearthstone in YEARS (think my last expansion was Journey to Un'Goro or the Kharakhazam one, can't really remember) and your challenge videos bring me lots of good memories from those days, even when I don't understand most of the things you do or even how players get 40 health or what class everyone's playing since there are so many new Heroes 🤣 hope the hours spent with this challenge where worth it in the end!

[@menovat]

A long time ago, I opened a golden Runespear. Any normal person would have disenchanted it and crafted a good legendary from it. I, however, still have it and it's currently in my bad legendary meme shaman alongside cards like Arch-Thief Rafaam, Electra Stormsurge, and Zentimo.

[@Sonofhroft]

But Electra not so bad )

[@ph1lny3]

@@Sonofhroft Honestly Zentimo isn't too shabby either. Not the strongest, but is solid in some Freeze Shaman lists. Triple Windchill/Windfury is pretty good

[@perrofla7734]

wdym electra wasnt that bad and zentimo hex has to be the most satisfying thing to do to a big priest ever (exaggeration, ik)

[@Jukantos]

Genuinely surprised you didnt include Nzoth in that Warlock list. Would've definitely helped you get more value out of those big deathrattle demons you were pulling for free

[@zigster1298]

Yes, but the terms of the challenge was the legendary weapon had to be what won him the game. If he won by a board N’Zoth generated it technically wouldn’t count and Chat can be pretty unforgiving. 😅

[@Jukantos]

@@zigster1298 I mean if all the demons were initially fed into it by the weapon making them free i personally would've still counted it, lol. Otherwise he could've also just tossed in Captain Greenskin and swung for 1 final damage with it :D

[@MinoriGaming]

Looking back on this challenge, I can’t help but wonder how much of a difference Instrument Tech would’ve made for most of these.

[@RioRioBeast]

Slowly watching Rarran climb up the wild ranks through all these challenges

[@dbzain]

It's always fun to watch these videos as someone who's been away for years. Around when I stopped playing, usually many of the cards in these "challenges" were still relatively new and still saw play, so it's weird to come back now after all this time and see that they've faded into obscurity lmao. Good stuff though, I don't think I'll ever play Hearthstone regularly again but these videos are always a treat to watch

[@imperialmoose]

This was a great video, thank you Rarran, your time and work is very much appreciated!

[@electricVGC]

You really are asking the questions nobody should have ever considered

[@PeterDivine]

Kingsbane used to be broken AF because you could permanently give it Lifesteal and Poison, atop its damage buffs. You either won early, dealt an OTK, or somehow burned their card, or you were screwed.

[@XenithShadow]

does it not get lifesteal and poison anymore, pretty sure it also paired with 2 blade flurry (the one where you sac weapon to kill opponents board and face)

[@moistnugget141]

Love these videos. You are singelhandedly the reason i started playing HS again. For the next challenge can you put a timer somewhere? Would love to see how long some of these challenges take

[@xaerialacex]

I haven’t played hearthstone in a million years but you remind me of the good times everyone used to have

Man, It’s been just a small time since I found your channel. I honestly think that you are one of the faces of the new HS generation. And I’m saying that as a “veteran” who’s been playing since knight of the frozen throne. You’re a surprise but a pleasant one.

[@anthonycharles5095]

[@trodnet]

Been playing hearthstone on and off for almost 7 8 years now but I'm now watching your stuff. I'm back in just got gold for the first time and maybe 5 years

[@jare3459]

Kobold Stickyfinger seems like a card that had of been added with deck edited tool. like if they got it off a random card then makes sense why they had it but it seems they just knew they would need it before the game so it is possible to have the Deck Editor cheat tool that has been roomer be out there.

[@nikospyridis9579]

It's just normal for a control deck in wild to sometimes run THAT hard weapon tech, especially if they have a certain matchup in mind where the opponent uses a really good weapon. Especially with Renathal and his 40 deck copies, you end up adding more tech cards than usual I think.

[@Limeonal]

@@nikospyridis9579 Yeah, it's a great tech card, you can use it on something like Cariel also and just win the game basically.

[@snoresx3]

Bro it's quest priest in gold 4 wild ofc they're gonna run some bad cards

Wow. The Priest actually playing the perfect counter pirate!

It really makes mad how you spent so much money in the game and still needed to disenchant a bunch of your collection to actually be able to play the cards you wanted.

[@robbylava]

My jaw hit the floor at the Stickyfingers play.

[@mrcx6142]

13:56 I think with the priest weapon going Miracle Priest is by far the best approach because that actually allows you to flood the board. It's still not good, but good enough to win a game against another memer eventually. Lyra in there for the content as well.

[@dermegger7733]

I love your reactions to bs happening in the game, really gets you engaged in the challenge.

[@graemetang4173]

My friend and I both started in Catacombs and so we each got a legendary weapon in our starting accounts. I got Kingsbane, he got Valanyr. In hindsight, I clearly got the better luck, but I'll tell you, when you're playing casual games before you've gotten the hang of things or built a solid collection, that reoccurring 4/2 weapon/stats feels straight up unfair!

[@jsquirrel4515]

"I spent $150" *crafts Dragon Soul* Oh the pain, you're doing the lord's work

[@Kumbyero]

You made me remember I opened a golden Dragon Soul on day one. Tried to use it that day and then never again touched in my life. Horrible weapon, free legendary some years later when I saw it in my collection because I completely forgot I had it lol

[@calebhilsenbeck8583]

Watching this nowadays, it's crazy that Dragon Soul finally found a place where it's good. As a piece in a single kinda meta Duels deck for one character

[@KoopaKrump]

I'd like to point out that part of what really made Skull of Man'ari so threatening when it saw play was Doomguard. It got pretty threatening when you had to worry about Doomguard getting skulled, cubed, and then eventually having a bunch of charging Doomguards summoned off of Bloodreaver Gul'dan. Food for thought on the weapon's strong points!

[@riccardococciolla752]

[@doggogaming9738]

Love this series! Please keep doing it, haven't seen anyone else doing anything similar

[@mrcx6142]

They did Shaman so dirty with Runespear. It's so inconsistent, but realistically you need to play it into a board, ideally a board for both players so you can either get rid of your opponents minions or hope for the omega lul Bloodlust on yours. That card wouldn't see play if it was 6 mana either, perhaps not at 5 either. At 4 it would definitely see play in some sort of aggressive shaman just because it's 3/3 and on the off-chance it buffs your board or removes a taunt - but it wouldn't be broken.

Rarran you've really elevated yourself as a content creator. Great work.

[@thegamingpro9128]

[@carston855]

My favorite ways to win in wild have been Mimirons head combo deck with rogue conceal/ double cold blood for 48 damage in one turn. Also mage with majordomo ragnaros with cobalt drakes and other hero power manipulating cards. Probably about a 95% lose rate with both decks but MAN WHEN IT WORKS the other player is probably uninstalling.
