Magic Player Guesses If A Classic HS Card is Banned w/ CGB

[@Micolino9878]

I think that Rarran's absolutely right about Mind Control Tech. Demon Hunter was the first NEW class they ever added, and it got a lot of absent players to return to the game. I think they wanted to avoid those player's thinking "Hey this is pretty fun, why did I put this game down again?" and then getting MC Teched and going "Oh yeah, THAT'S why."

20:52 CGB is truly a Blue player. Man is thinking with his gut and his mind, but he's gotta play Red for this one and think using his heart. There's no thought behind Blade Flurry, you fool! No gut instinct; no reason can solve this card! There's nothing there but RAW EMOTION. Must hit face TWICE. After they nerfed it to only hit enemy minions, then it became a thinking-man's card. But they did also nerf the cost so it just died.... LOL

[@darkumineru1681]

Was sad too has 3 cost can't hit face might have seen play ;(

[@Defnotdiablo]

@@darkumineru1681 honestly i think the problem is its comparison to fan of knives and the rogue identity. If blade flurry is 3 mana then you pretty much never play fan of knives because in miracle rogue you dont need the extra draw and paying 1 mana with prep to board clear is very strong especially in the class that they specifically DONT want board wipes in, and especially in the deck that can just refuel the hand again and again and again, being able to do huge board clears while also refilling the hand reaches very similar to starving buzzard kind of vibes. I do wonder though what if they kept the face damage but kept it at 4 or maybe even 5 mana as like a versatile finisher OR a board clear.

[@Aazrl]

I remember Spellbreaker getting hall of famed because it was limiting design options for silence cards. 4 mana 4/3 neutral silence was very good and it was played a lot. But then the next year they added Royal Librarian which was just a better Spellbreaker.

[@JonaxII]

I remember when they nerfed owl to 3 with no stat buff, making it ao unplayable that people instead played the 4 mana one with semi decent stats. And then THAT gets hof'ed. Maybe they just didn't like silence.

[@superbaas8822]

For the decks where a dumb neutral silence matters, a 3/4 is a lot worse than a 4/3. They also tested out a meta without a silence and it didn't go well, so they realized they needed some back. And yes, royal is NOW a 4/4, but wasn't always.

[@Noobie2k7]

I think the difference was Spellbreaker was in the classic set which at the time didn't rotate while Librarian was in a rotating set so was fine to be stronger.

[@vendeten]

[@christopherlundgren1700]

I think for Mind Control Tech, they probably just came to the conclusion that it's a card that punishes you for breaking a rule that you would otherwise have no idea is a rule. It's a "gotcha" whose only solution is to already know that there is a gotcha. Other than to play around board clears, there's no reason to think that playing a 4th dude is taking a risk. Also, since it's random, it's just extra infuriating when you go from can't lose instantly to can't win, just because they stole the one minion that mattered. Also, even if you know about it, it's specifically punishes you for doing something you want to be doing, building out your board. "I guess I can't keep having fun. Gotta play around Mind Control Tech." Kind of funny when you see if the first few times, but what a bummer of a card to keep around forever.

[@YMasterS]

It was because people felt like they were being punished for winning. "I got ahead on board by making good decisions, now you get rewarded for making worse decisions than I did."

[@bibsp3556]

People are fine with board clears, but for some reason, having stuff stolen feels worse lol. I love that card. Having to play around cards is pretty much how the game works lol, control is fun. It just feels awful lol.

@@YMasterS Then they print reska, that does the same thing without being sble to play around it

@esscate and Yogg, before that. Design philosophies change, so do the design team.

Yeah mctech was so damn frustrating to play against especially if devs ever wanted to push a token strategy that floods the board then out come the mctechs in every deck since it's neutral. People also despised the card in arena, not that arena means much.

[@therealax6]

Wouldn't this be pretty straightforward? I'd say most effects in Hearthstone _can_ be done in MTG; they just aren't for gameplay reasons. For instance, you absolutely _can_ put "target creature gains +2/+2" in an effect, and that would apply permanently; it's just that MTG usually does counters instead for memory reasons.

[@monopoman]

CGB would come to hate Power Overwhelming if he played the game for a year before it got removed especially with pre-nerf Leeroy.

[@christopherlundgren1700]

Sylvanas is almost exactly a card called Keiga, the Tide Star. It's a 6 mana 5/5 blue dragon with Flying, and when it dies you gain control of target creature.

[@Noobie2k7]

I mean Sylvanas was worse because it wasn't evasive at all and the minion you get is random. It was still a staple in every single deck to the point where much much later they released a retrain of her that had a much more conditional effect and she still saw play in most decks.

[@paulthoss9456]

I was thinking exactly the same thing

[@dark_rit]

@@Noobie2k7 Evasion is weird to compare MTG to HS since sylvanas if no taunt can just go face like every other minion that isn't freshly summoned without charge or rush. It's also far different in the context of HS where you can attack minions whereas in MTG the opponent has to choose to block. Sylvanas trading with something to steal their best minion was a common play pattern, keiga when it attacks the opponent can simply take 5.

Having been around at the time, I absolutely guarantee that MC Tech died just because people were tired of it.

It came out *just often enough* that playing that fourth minion was terrifying, and yet was rare enough that usually you were playing around it for nothing; the card was just that scarring when it hit.

[@tomscorpion6288]

I liked it, back in the day, it felt like you are controlling something, your decisions mattered more. I haven't played classic Hearthstone in years but it was already bad enough 5+ years ago when they introduced battlegrounds. I would only come back if all cards that create other cards were banned. And since it felt like they are only releasing such cards back in 2019, I imagine that didn't stop too much.

[@lazykid4846]

I swear I’m being mandela effected with regards to the year of the Phoenix hall of fame, I swear I even half recall a specific blurb they gave for acolyte of pain. But I can’t find it so I guess it didn’t happen.

[@lazykid4846]

Disregarding that, I’m pretty sure the idea behind it was to weed out cards that tend to be recurring problems for some reason or another. Leeroy for otks and burst wombo combos, mountain giants for coming down too early (it wasn’t that long after lpg and conjurer’s calling was abusing it in mage), MC tech for being generally annoying (I’m pretty sure it was consistently being ran in quest shaman at the time), acolyte of pain for being too good of a neutral draw tool mainly in warrior, and I guess spellbreaker cause they didn’t want to worry about silence killing off whatever cool payoff they’d print later (like a rattlegore I’d guess)

[@dark_rit]

Pretty sure acolyte of pain got HoF'ed because it was among the best card draw regardless of class generally speaking and in other classes would be draw 2-3 cards, which was above rate for 3 mana that also had a body attached to affect the board. While not a HS designer Kibler commented on it saying a lot of decks resorted to acolyte to get more card draw and he has designed for many card games over the years so he knows bad design better than the average player.

Non-HS player here, won't Power Overwhelming also be good for proactively triggering Deathrattle stuff? Or is it only true in theory, but in practice it just doesn't come up?

[@galax12370]

ye its debetable. warlock has been using it to proc deathrattles for long time but it really never was the main focus of the card or the archetype. its more like a nice bonus when it works

[@aswerhhh4487]

Yes, Warlocks used it on their eggs to trade and then trigger their deathrattle or steal the minion with Sylvanas for big tempo board swings. They also used it with "Destroy minion, deal its attack as AoE" card to clear enemy board. And they also used it as burst with Leroy. There was also a card that ate friendly minions and took their stats, that allowed to bypass the drawback of 1-turn buff. The big flexibility and utility of this card is why it was so widely played in most Warlock decks in the first years of HS and the reason for its removal. The only Warlock deck that I do not remember seeing this was Malygos Warlock, as it only had synergies with AoE spell there.

[@EebstertheGreat]

I think the Ice Lance HoF was absolutely justified in the context of the time. No matter what mage deck you wanted to play, it was almost mandatory to include 2x frost bolt and 2x ice lance for the 14 burst. And if you're already doing that, well now you should probably include 2x fireball too, and since you have cheap spells and burn, you should play Antonidas, and . . . whoops, you made freeze mage. Ice Lance was the best burn spell in the whole game. It's still ubiquitous in wild. It couldn't stick around forever. Also, back then, I played a mage deck that was aggro or tempo in every matchup except against Priest. Priest couldn't heal above 30, so you would just assemble a 30-damage combo and kill them from hand. Priest was supposed to counter tempo burn decks, but I had a 100% win rate in that matchup despite being generally terrible at the game. It really was too good. EDIT: The combo was 2x apprentice, Thalnos, 2x frost bolt, 2x ice lance, 2x roaring torch, fireball for 39. It was pretty easy to get all of that minus one piece and still do over 30. The same deck that could do that could also win on turn 3 against other classes with mana wyrms and apprentices. TURN 3.

[@tomscorpion6288]

I fail to see why is it better they can only do it in wild now and not in standard. Why would standard matter more?

[@EebstertheGreat]

@@tomscorpion6288 Because the power level in wild is extremely high. The overwhelming majority of cards are not viable in wild. Also, the entire point of wild is that you can play with all kinds of wacky old cards. It's the same reason Black Lotus is still legal in Vintage, except you don't have to pay a gajillion dollars to get two copies of Ice Lance.

Undead Warchief in MTG has way more upsides. It is a 2/1, correct, but it buffs itself up to a 4/2 and reduces your future zombie spells by one.

[@achimsinn6189]

IMO MCT had the same issue as old BGH. It had decent enough stats to be played just as a minion without the effect, if you find out your opponent will likely not devellop a board with 4 minions. So you get a card that is ridiculously strong as a tech card, but there is no real downside for putting it in your deck, if the tech doesn't apply. That said they actually had a lot to work with to deal with that as they could just have lowered MCTs stats to 2/2. It would still have worked as tech, but you wouldn't want to play the card without the effect hitting, so in case you play against something like freeze mage that doesn't have lots of minions on board, you're adding a brick to your deck.

In the time that I've been playing HS, Mind Control Tech has never been a card I've seen a lot of. Even though the effect can be powerful, the requirement of your opponent having 4 or more minions isn't something that comes up every game, especially as the game evolved and more classes got access to removal and board wipes. Even after they buffed it to let you choose the target, I never really saw it. But now that we live in a standard where late games with huge overwhelming boards are common, and high impact titans make prime targets to yoink, I've actually been seeing this card a lot lately; especially in Reno control decks, sometimes coming out of E.T.C. Band Manager.

[@ravensequinox3515]

M giant and Mc tech could probably be attributed to the same as sylvanas or azure drake. They were in every control deck, it was another card you were worried bout or played round, and it was just their time to go. I never realized they didn't say anything bout why they left.

[@SpeedPants]

I believe Mind Control Tech was Hall-Of-Famed for limiting the board space and being a card you always had to think about. You play 4 minions on board (even in a meta-game where MCT wasn't that prevalent anymore) and you always had that "please don't be running MCT" feeling in the back of your head because you know if it comes down they might steal the huge fun minion you put down and leave you with lesser card, very tilting lol.

Well, he's not 100% wrong on them caring about Wild. They do nerf the most egregious stuff that comes there, but not much else. Just the most gamebreaking combos. They don't, and also can't, really care about keeping different archetypes viable. Hearing him call Blade Flurry Blade Fury like a dozen times was slowly driving me insane. Also, we do have Immune, which makes the target unable to be targeted by enemies and cannot take damage. It is not something you can put on a minion permanently in general. The one card that does this also destroys your deck and it's 10 mana. As for what the point of Hall of Fame was, it was, in no small part, to take out the overplayed cards, that they also can't really nerf, or really don't want to. You can't mention Unleash the Hounds without also mention that they had **charge**.

A good idea for a hearthstone format I don’t think you’ve done is playing only with an element (ex: you create a deck that only includes fire cards or spells or like shadow cards or spells or nature etc…)

[@ericahlstedt1891]

New idea for mind control tech (when mct dies the minion u stole goes back to the other board/deck) (mct might be okey at 3 mana again in that case).

36:00 Raran says only ice lance and ice block got hall of famed from mage, so mana wyrm probably didnt.

Blade fury gaming?

[@happygbug]

i do wonder if there was some sort of midrange demon hunter that used mountain giant that was too strong in play testing and thats why they famed it. due to the very affordable on curve draw into skull, letting you fill your hand than just do a huge dump on turn 5. that being said games were usually over on turn 5 anyways so its not really a valid reason.

I just got flashbacks of oiler rogue. So fun to play, so unfun to lose to

[@1Henrink]

I used to LOVE old blade flurry

[@rogoth01themasterwizard11]

MC tech was hall of famed purely because of arena, at that point in time it was long passed being playable in standard due to how fast the game was, but in arena, especially with 'lower skilled' players, it caused so many hate threads on the forum blizzard was probably sick and tired of having to justify why the card was fine.

azure drake was used in close to all decks i can remember way back if you had any good spells rouge was able to use fan of knifes mage had a lot of them paladin lets you use consecrate for more damage warlock had some great use of it druid loved it with swipe and was a draw so it was really just a question of "is there ANY better 5 drops" and not a single one was, and if there was it was normally Legendary's so really easy to just throw azure drake in too has single or 2x has it was just that universal it was scary to leave up felt great/never bad to drop down when it was hall of fame it was really opening the 5 cost slot to more cards and more spell damage was opened up too

[@aswerhhh4487]

That was only true for Classic set. With Naxx we did get belchers and Loatheb that were as popular to run as were Azure Drakes.

[@darkumineru1681]

Yes but even with those Azure was still used has a 1 off due to wanting about 2-3 5 costs​ being wanted :) @@aswerhhh4487

Sylvanas my beloved, I miss you so much

[@slobodanmitrovic90]

I remember Sylvanas being 5 mana and Power Overwhelming being 0 mana.

[@TheBloodypimp]

I know right?????

[@gamerk316]

...Spellbreaker got HoF'd? WHY? Ok, its a decently stated silence, especially in the days where Ironbeak Owl costs 3, but it's not like decks were running a dedicated silence minion (at least by the time I left HS) for the effect.

[@TheBloodypimp]

Yes they did. They fucked owl as well.... they just hated silence.
