I think the biggest giveaway for the custom cards is creative flavoring and complex references to other cards or things. Pot of Blood has all of that. Its a blood card, makes something cost health and it is a pot that draws cards, which is obviously a yugioh reference

[@TrueNargin]

Tradeable definitely makes sense on Icy Self - you trade the card away if you have no way to freeze something you'd want a copy of.

Genuinely forgot that card existed. How does it work when there's two of them?

[@Actinjsh]

@@hugomendoza5665 haven't seen that happen but I'm guessing the effect would trigger in play order. The copy that was played first would retarget the spell to itself, then the second copy would retarget it to itself and then the spell would cast only on the second copy.

@@Actinjsh No, Sanctum Spellbender says "Whenever your opponent targets *another* minion with a spell, redirect it to this." Another means "a minion that is not Sanctum Spellbender" (Same reason why Flesh Behemoth can't draw a copy of itself) So if you have two copies in the board and you target one of them, they just don't trigger.

​@@paperknigth2263but you can have two of them and an enemy has some minions that he throws the spell onto their minions. also when you have 2 of them and somebody plays a spell onto one of them, the other should take the spell, because he is a different minion than the other one.

That icy self card would be so good in sif mage. You just need to have the location on board and on the combo turn you could play sif, use location on sif, play this on sif to get a copy and blast the opponent with either a volley of cheap damaging spells like arcane bolts and the free geyser one, or you could just cast a forged molten rune.

[@neartheplumtree]

I wonder how dormant would work since there’s no counter on the keyword by itself, would it be a standard number? would it be randomised? or would it just never wake up D:

[@Lovyxia]

I don't think Dormant would count as a keyword for the purposes of that kind of thing. "Random bonus effect" has been used in this way a bunch of times to exclude Charge as well. "Can't Attack" isn't even bolded so that would definitely not be one though. If we counted all bold texts as keywords you could get cards that say things like "Battlecry:, you" which would just be weird.

[@unkarsthug4429]

Random bonus effect is what it would be, and that's a defined set of 8 keywords used across multiple sets. It's basically an evergreen effect.

[@tritonis54]

Nor dormant nor can’t attack are keywords. And even if we say these are, the keyword pool of Lo’Gosh would be manually crafted by Blizzard anyway.

Common thread between a lot of the AI cards: The AI is so preoccupied with “can we do this effect”, that it never stops for basic card game design. Yes, you CAN print a minion that regains stealth when attacking face, but you shouldn’t cause it only ever has one play pattern.

[@SeventhSolar]

You don't think that applies to custom cards such as Big Bad Wolf? The intended play pattern there is extremely obvious. How about the custom Time Warp?

[@aurtosebaelheim5942]

My read on how 2 Holy Protectors would interact would be based on reading the ability as "Whenever a minion is targeted by a spell, counter that spell and apply its effect to this card". So, a few scenarios: 2 Holy Protectors, one of them gets targeted - both are affected by the spell. 2 Holy Protectors and a 3rd other minion, the 3rd minion gets targeted - both Holy Protectors are affected by the spell. You aren't retargeting a spell or moving it. Targeting the spell is a trigger that they both see, one of them counters it, the other one tries to counter it and fails but they've both seen the spell being aimed so they both apply its effects to themselves. It seems better for duplicating buffs instead of tanking spells.

[@synthetic240]

Card #2 makes sense. If there are two Holy Protectors and one is targeted, the other one takes the EFFECT. The other one is NOT being targeted by a spell; it is only be targeted by the effect of the spell. The original target of the spell is valid and the target of the spell's effect is valid, so no... it could easily be programmed not to bounce back & forth.

[@drawmeka9349]

And if you have 2 Protectors on board, and the opponent targets a 3rd non-Protector minion?

[@T3n50r]

What if there are 3 minions on board and neither of the two Holy Protectors are targeted, which Holy Protector gets the effect? Both? If both gets the effect the flavor text doesn't really make any sense unless it says something else than "this minion takes it instead"

[@synthetic240]

@@T3n50r Simple. It's chosen at random or assigned to the first one that triggered.

[@T3n50r]

@@synthetic240 That's not simple at all, both of those options changes everything about the card and whether or not you should even include it in your deck. Not to mention it isn't easily understood by new players, or players making a deck around it not knowing how it works until it see play which just means that it's a poorly written flavor text. Also, if it's random it can be frustrating to keep both on the board not knowing which effect will affect which card, if only the first one triggers you may be left with a 24 minion in your hand or a rather useless 24 minion on board. So, only include one in your deck then..? Not really that simple, then it might not really see much play so building around it doesn't make much sense in this regard. Both of these sounds like a headache to deal with. The flavor text should be so easy you already know how the card behaves on board when it's in play before you've even played it. Including it in a deck and misunderstanding how it works because of the text is poor game design.

[@SkullxFreak]

Shadow blade assassin would probably read “after this minion attacks a hero, it gains +1 attack and returns to stealth” since there’s no reason for it to wait till the end of the turn.

On Xara, the Timebender "redo your last turn" in my brain it works like this: If any Battlecry or Deathrattle occured, trigger again if you played like Arcane Intelect for carddraw, do it again, did X minion hit face and survived? (Broken if it would ignore taunts), do it again. Did you play a healing spell on you/minon (if its still there ofc) recast sorts like that.

[@lu-uyhoang6238]

I found that you can usually tell if it is custom made based on flavor. Some of these cards are so thematically fitting that there is no way an AI could ever come up with it. I am also very impressed with the person who came up with that flavor.

[@lnarius]

“Strongarm patrolller” would never work that way, it would either specify what would be destroyed, or it would specify that you could choose what would get destroyed.

[@eamk887]

Personal guesses: - 7:12 I guessed custom made, just because of how cool it is, and I can't find anything in it that is worded wrong, or something like that. - 9:28 Pretty obvious AI card, as Rarran said, the text says "whenever this minion attacks", meaning it would get the +1 attack and Stealth before it attacks, which wouldn't make sense. Also, I think it would read "it gains +1 attack and Stealth", not that it returns to Stealth, which sounds off. - 11:24 At first I thought it was a custom card, but I did notice the "random" word there, which is an obvious mistake. - 14:23 Honestly no idea, the card itself is terrible, it's just a worse version of Hellfire, so it could be either an AI card or custom made by someone who just made a terrible card. But it being an AI card in the end makes sense. - 15:52 A custom card for sure, it's way too fun, imaginitive, and logical to be an AI card. - 17:27 Another hard one, It's a cool idea, like trying to make an "extra turn" card balanced, but the "your mana crystals are empty" phrasing doesn't seem official, and the spell doesn't have an Arcane tag, which I think it should, so I finally guessed AI. - 20:20 Yet again a hard choice. The card seems good, but I'm not sure if Hearthstone has a mechanic in it that reveals cards, and I'm quite sure that there isn't one that lets the revealed cards stay revealed, meaning you could only see the revealed card once, so I'm going to guess AI. But I guess I was wrong, damn. - 22:38 I'm going to say custom, this is a pretty great card. It feels unique, interesting, and the phrasing seems to be logical. I honestly didn't even think about the color of the card, so I guess that's why I got it right. - 24:15 Well, there's a spelling error in the card, but I'm not sure if that's just a human mistake. I'm gonna have to say AI, it's not that good of a card, and I can see the spelling error being an AI error. But it seems I should have stuck with the human error theory. - 26:26 Oh my god, I don't know, it's just a weird card that would not work in a lot of cases. Like, what if the spell is a spell that targets minions, or if it's draw a card spell? I'm gonn say AI, it's possible that a human made it and didn't just think about cards that don't deal damage and can't damage heroes, but I'd say it's more likely to be an AI error. - 29:04 My lack of new Hearthstone knowledge is killing me here, because I do not know if "thaw" is a real word that is used in the game. tI also seems like a bad card, because it implies that it only works on Frozen minions, and the card itself doesn't seem to make sense, like, "icy self"? What does that mean, and what does it have to do with thawing yourself and summoning a copy? So, I'm gonna guess AI. But I guess I was wrong, and someone just made a card that doesn't make sense, lmao. - 31:52 The deciding factor on what my guess is for this card depends on the ordering of the Battlecry. Like, it says "Battlecry: If this is the highest cost highest-Attack minion", which is a very vague, since it brings up the question that could this card even be considered on the battlefield when it uses the Battlecry ability, because technically it isn't on the field yet? I would say no, so my guess is AI. But, again, it seems it's just another custom card that doesn't make quite sense. - 33:26 An awesome card, it's thematically very cool, but unfortunately, the spelling error of "from" instead of "for" makes it obvious that it's an AI card, at least I hope so, because otherwise it would just be another human error. But it seems like the people who make these cards just can't write English. - 36:05 Interesting card, it uses the right grammar of the ' at the end, so I'm leaning more into AI. The name of the card not matching the text also makes me feel more confident in my guess. - 38:04 I'm gonna say custom. The card simply does not make sense, but I feel like it's another human mistake, like, why is the first sentence just flavor text? And how would the card draws even work? Would it draw new random cards off the top, or would it draw the same cards? Idk, it just feels off, so I'm gonna say custom. But no, it's an AI error, which is weird, because I'm not sure where an AI would get the flavor text from. - 40: 48 Another card that is very poosly phrased. Like, the adding sounds off, and on the last sentence it's very unclear if "its" means the card itself, or the card that got destroyed. So, again, it's just a toss up between this card being a human error or an AI error. Idk, I'm gonna say AI. - 43:46 I think everything in the card makes sense, so I'm saying custom. - 44:13 Yet another card that simply does not make any sense, like, what does the "copies" even mean here, so the guess is yet again based on if this is a human or an AI error. Idk, I guess I say custom, it feels more like a human error. - 46:38 Okay, this is a hard one. The first thing I noticed is that the H in health is not capitalized, which is different to another previous AI generated card where the H was capitalized. Additionally, the card uses periods when listing the effects, which I think is wrong, since I think other cards use commas. Because of these, I'm gonna say it's a custom card, where the creator just made a few mistakes. But no, it was an AI card, which is strange, since the other AI card used a capitalized H, I imagined that the AI would make same mistakes, but apparently not.

[@AkuFexin]

My problem with the "Icy Self" card is that maybe to a native speaking person they'd know what thaw means but hearthstone is a big international card game. It's a word I never heard in my life and I am basically raised bilingual and I only ever really consume English content. It's just a word that's too uncommon and the context isn't providing any clue as to what it could mean. The card name "Icy Self" doesn't tell me it's something that unfreezes your minion as well.

I believe the Icy Self card flavor is that you're taking a minion out of its ice encasing that would have the minion's shape, and summoning a copy of it which would be giving life to it's former encasing, which also explains why it's a frost spell, so it's not thawing, it's more teleporting out of the encasing. I don't see any flavor on the trading, I think it's just to help it as a tech card. Also, kind of funny to think the AI would make such weird, out of place grammar mistakes and thinking it could get the flavor from The Big Bad Wolf right. Also also, I believe Xara, the Timebender is trying to mimick Toki's adventure hero power. It's worded diferently, and definitely would need some heavy re-wording to work in the real game, but I do think that's what it's trying to do.

[@imoutofnames1]

For arcane anomoly i didn't pick up on the random mage spell part. But I went with AI because arcane anomaly is also already a card. I don't know how common it is for a custom card to use a name of an already existing card but I feel like people would look up names to see if it exists first.

This is really just a game of "Did a human designer forget stuff (like totems generally having no attack, the totem tag, or the word 'redirect' which has already been used on a Mage secret previously)?" (And yes they definitely do) (I swear I sometimes remake my cards like 7 times because I forget obvious stuff) A card not working or being a dumb card or just a generally bad card doesn't mean it's not a custom card.

[@Laxerjan]

What I've noticed is that AI cards tend to be generic stuff like "1 damage to all enemies, 1 heal to all friendly" (completely unrelated to what an electric totem would do), they often have no types, the card names have no relevance to what the card actually does (often being generic arcane this, holy that) or they just rip off already existing mechanics (sathrovarr is just a generic demon name and the effect is just the 3 drop that eats your stuff plus a shadowflame, two commonly found warlock class mechanics). In contrast, human generated cards tend to reference something external from the game like the three little piglets, an angry chicken in mage form, a parody on twisting nether, an endless sentinel actually being a minion that revives itself endlessly etc. Occasionally, the line gets blurred when a human makes a boring card (the dentist) or where the AI name randomly gets close to what the card does (the timebender lady, chat was rightfully 50/50 on that).

Now I remembered Shadowverse had a card "0 mana Extra Turn" and there's 3 of them in the deck. It was funny times.

[@valentino-eq1ml]

i really enjoy your videos with ecore. i like your synergy

[@bohesnap]

Xara, the Timebender would probably work just as "Kang" from Marvel Snap.

[@firecat4529]

42:20 I don't think it's a bad card since if you sacrifice a 1/1 it already deals 8 to the enemy board. I think it's similar to the warlock murloc colossal.

[@robertradford4707]

It deals the minion killeds attack, not 7+minion killed. Eat a 4/5, it deals aoe 4 and becomes an 11/11

[@landonlecoq5660]

The funny thing is that Pot of Blood is actually viable at 5 mana in wild, because it curves right after Lorekeeper Polkelt!

[@Rituaali_]

The timewarp card basically just has overload 10 except you can get back mana crystals. I think it would be printable with overload 10 so you either need very cheap minions or an already developed board for otk's

[@FedericoAOlivieri]

That would be crazy with overdraft

[@Rituaali_]

@@FedericoAOlivieri Well you would need to reduce overdraft to 0 cost

[@mauricehans6389]

Just the random Legends of Runeterra player but I couldnt stop watching it. Being like "hm...yes yes...thats AI" Great Video Idea

[@Шалунишка-к7б]

Celestial protector honeslty looks like a card blizzard would add just to "counter aggro decks" by completly removing them from the meta

[@NitroMelon]

Mossy Horror moment

[@soasertsus]

With how impressive AI has gotten, it feels like any argument that relies on "the AI is not smart enough to do this" doesn't really work because you never really know what it's capable of. For stuff like this I always have to go back to "would a human make this?" instead because I understand the thought process of a human. If a card is just not particularly interesting or flavorful enough that someone would go through the effort to make and post it, that's probably AI, or if the vibe has really strong flavor that relies on knowledge outside of the game to make sense, probably human.

[@darthelmet1]

See, what's tough about this, is that there are a lot of custom card creators who don't have a good grasp on the kind of cards that are reasonable within the framework of HS.

[@Kolon01]

I COULDN'T EDGE TO THIS VIDEO!! I EXPLODED IMMEDIATELY!! CLEAN UP ON AISLE, MY PANTS!

[@Lovyxia]

Xara was such obvious AI word salad, I'm surprised chat was split on it at all.

[@PlutoDarknight]

That Time Warp is a Magic: The Gathering card. It's called Savour the Moment, it's incredibly cheap but all your tapped creatures don't untap either.

[@markuswelander8551]

What's the point if they can't attack face?

[@PlutoDarknight]

@@markuswelander8551 Half the time you just play that early to get an extra card draw and an extra land. If you have outside effects that allow you to untap though, it's absolutely bonkers for 3 mana.

[@yungkenwud6397]

Private Detective is such BM, just eats your opponent's turn timer.

[@PauloCTorres]

I think random keywords would now be restricted to the 8 effects that the Badlands Bandits have.

[@jeffe2267]

19:10 that's crazy that the AI took a card from Magic and made it a bit more fair, with the same name and basically the same effect. very similar casting costs too.

[@Devinblox726]

pot of blood is literally a play on pot of greed. I'm surprised so many people thought it was AI

[@honk_mcgoose]

pot of blood : an AI wouldn't make a grammatical error like that

[@prismaticc_abyss]

Thank you for featuring clint stevens in your video

[@jaeusa160]

@44:45 I'm surprised the collective brainpower of Chat didn't manage to 100-0 that as human made. AI would not have spelled Resurrect incorrectly. Individuals missing that mistake, totally understandable, but a large group like Chat should've had a few nerds like me pointing out the error which would domino effect the vote. I am disappointed in Chat. :(

[@Aphid4]

Timeless chronomancer wouldn't even work properly, the way it's worded. It says *all* friendly characters. That includes the player. So it sets your opponent's health to 15, your health to 30, and heals all your minions. Four mana, 2/6. I think the AI setup picked up that a 2/6 with some text tends to cost 4... but doesn't/can't work out how 'good' a text is. So it'll always undercost great effects and overcost downsides or bad effects. Also, legendaries always tend to be creatures of which it's clear only one exists in the world. This one doesn't have a name, and isn't a title (it's not "The timeless chronomancer" but "a timeless chronomancer")

[@melodymason1362]

I think the Big Bad Wolf card could say from and mean it without being a typo as a way to imply that any cards your opponent has that interact with minions that you have have summoned would work for the summons. Probably typo but I can read it with enough cope to say it could be intended.

[@Kaxxaa]

ecore and the dentist really do be look alike

[@piggyface2167]

Your haircut be looking fresh, Rarran

[@Jaxwild1121]

Let’s go new rarran video to start the day

[@eaglest0554]

The first one is already broken, 3 mana for a 2/4 healing totem that also deals one to all enemy minions at the end of your turn? And it doesn't even overload or something? Nasty.

[@matthewterrell7691]

Hey Rarran was it noticed by either of you or chat during the polls that Unending Sentinel has the word Resurrect mispelled as Ressurect?

[@yungkenwud6397]

"Fallen Loyalist" makes way more sense as a neutral, he's fallen, he lost his class identity.

[@TheDwagonHD]

I think its meant that the minion is a paladin, but the deathrattle is just the divine intervention spell from wow (die and give a friendly player a divine shield)

[@TheUnlocked]

Pot of Blood was clearly human-made since gen AI would correctly conjugate "cost" as "costs."

[@xanithdegroot5407]

I knew Pot of Blood was a custom card because it is an obvious reference to Pot of Greed from Yu-Gi-Oh.

[@signofastorm]

@rarran I watched em all and this was the most entertaining guessing game of all time.

[@Wkck1112]

In other card games, Holy Protector isnt that unique but it does have a logic how it works like making the effect not mandatory, etc. Can tell its an AI card

[@starryskies9655]

For me, Time Warp has a very clunky description, which led me to thinking it was AI. Imo it should read “take an extra turn after this one. Your mana crystals do not recharge.”

[@LordSprixx]

Can we talk about the fact that the AI art for Icy Self was literally just Ecore?

[@thomash341]

Genuinely surprised at the time warp spell. Seems Blizz should hire the AI for the balancing team.

[@Knjaz_Zlogrd]

Holy Protector is almost like Spellskite from MTG got coverted to HS. And Spellskite was really cool in MTG and it was a solid card I enjoyed playing, so I like what AI was going for.

[@henriknobinder7395]

The giveaway for Time Warp, I feel, is that the drawback, even though its unique, essentially just makes the card read "your minions gain windfury," and I feel like most humana woukd realize that and stop themselves.

[@LifeIsImbA]

That's not how it works though. You drop a bunch of 0 mana 8/8 giants, play this and swing for lethal on your next free turn.

[@gognok]

Bit isn't that op? Giving windfury to my 8/8 and bam half of opponents' health is gone

[@lancex5195]

I think the giveaway on most AI cards is the wording and this falls into that category. We already have the mage quest that says "take an extra turn" the after this one part is implied and the HS team wants to limit text as much as possible.

[@tmdiz4579]

"humana woukd" I feel like most humans would realize that they are making such mistakes. Your comment is AI.

[@henriknobinder7395]

@@tmdiz4579 I'm not going to fix it purely out of spite. Correcting spellings on the internet is cringe as fuck.
