When you hear Solem says for the 100th time that "you probably doesn't know Blubber Baron exists", but you knew this card existed for a while because you listened to Solem for the previous 99 times...

[@Toasty_22]

Solem is the only reason I know Blubber Baron exists

[@patrickkwon3351]

Magnataur alpha and stablemaster

[@benroberts1052]

Fun fact: Moorabi was going to be a 4-drop, but was nerfed last second before release because the developers thought freeze shaman would not be fun to fight against.

[@Siike_]

Guess some devs had flashbacks of freeze mage

[@user-ye6ft4ly7r]

This actually is a question, since there’s no freeze shaman you can face.

[@roguebanshee]

A couple of interviews/Q&As have stated that DK Thrall was also Freeze Shaman support during testing, but got changed because it just wasn't any fun to play against.

[@SynderFGC]

@@roguebanshee I wonder what Freeze Shaman looked like for Blizzard

[@trinhhieu6270]

baby zoo warlock is a legit deck that uses ritual of doom.

[@mostlyrobotic]

Rend Blackhand was quite popular during the release of BRM, because literally everyone ran multiple legendaries (Black Knight, Cairne, Sylvanas, Ragnaros, Thaurissan) and the dragon requirement wasn't that hard to satisfy, especially for control decks.

[@ecez2599]

yeah that card is quite good back at those days.

[@seandeegan1702]

Solem ritual of doom literally founded its own tier 2 deck in cutelock

[@Thompson-kp5ye]

One small note, Ritual of Doom actually sees play in Cutelock. The Chinese meta report has the deck at a power level equal to darkglare. Very good card in the deck because you can get it out on turn 2/3.

[@user-ye6ft4ly7r]

I think it doesn’t really happen at least in Asia server for me, I just face mages after mages and also res priest.

[@tschongolollo1394]

Exactly. It's hard to win with Cho, but Hobbs has been showing how to do it for many years.

[@NFS_ethereal]

KEKW E TU

[@IvanGarcia-ke3lo]

Cho is the best meme legendary hands down.

[@TheMuhahaa]

I think Hobbs has something to say about you putting Cho on this list :D

[@AndresDavidCalvache]

Was just going to say! Lol wowhobbs would have some strong words for you

[@TooTsaka]

As would Noxious.

[@simonnikonov2577]

Solem is just flexing his collection of golden bad cards at this point

[@TooTsaka]

Solem, sush. Don't you dare diss Cho. He was MVP in the legendary Randuin Wrynn archetype.

[@KnucklesUp]

Lorewalker Cho imo is surprisingly good when it is picked off a discover effect or you get it summoned through rng. Its trash to run as one of your 30 cards in a deck but often enough, the player benefits from having it on their side of the battlefield for free given the punishment for the opponent playing spells. (my 2 cents, great vid!)

[@whiskyfox7943]

Fun fact the ball of spider has been seen in some control hunter back in the days A player named 伊利丹 reached top ten in legend with both legendary and double ball of spooder I played that deck all day long back then And morros was played in some token deck edit: Bruh lock and load was good :(

[@Cashmoneez]

lock and load has never and will never be good

[@whiskyfox7943]

@@Cashmoneez It was playable I am a fan of off meta deck like control paladin or control hunter you'd be surprised how playable these deck were back then

[@Cashmoneez]

@@whiskyfox7943 No it was not. I have been playing since before that card came out. If you put it in your deck it was the worst card in it. Even full spell hunter would never run it. It was worse than running tracking or even just azure drake.

[@whiskyfox7943]

@@Cashmoneez Lol I don't know what to say agree to disagree I guess I had fun with that card and it was good honestly it was one of the finest deck that I ever built the card is extremely underrated

[@klweth5439]

Summoning stone was in summoning stone druid which at the time was like a tier 2 deck was actually a pretty good card.

[@ilovepicklesandonion]

I literally have 2 Hobbs videos recommended right now that have Cho in the title lmao

[@csucskos]

Hey that Ritual of Doom is actually a played card in a Tier 1 deck (Baby Zoolock) so... maybe not the worst card ~

[@joydivision1976]

I never understood why Grand LACKEY Erkh wasn't a lackey. And regarding the Caravans: They are symbols for how hard and unfair life out there in The Barrens is. :D

[@johannesha186]

kibler played him quite frequently a while back, didnt seem too bad

[@user-ye6ft4ly7r]

I think the whole point of tavern brawl is that ” look! We made these garbage cards that you fools won’t ever play in constructed, how about I pay you a pack to give them a try.”

[@Evan_Schaefering]

Cutelock is currently tier 1 according to the Chinese meta report and is running Ritual of Doom as a core payoff card. It turns out it's really good when you can fill your board on turn 2.

[@Mcreewu]

Moroes was actually one of the main cards in a really broken deck back then. I mean the Quest Rogue.

[@DirtJutter]

You don't want to put Lorewalker Cho in your deck, BUT ramdomly ending up with Cho on the board can create some amusing situations. One of my most memorable games involved two Lorewalker Cho's, fatigue damage and Light of the Naaru. My opponent and me had little choice but to give each other several Light of the Naaru spells, creating this crazy showdown between uber-buffed lightwardens.

[@oscarrickyh02]

Revenant rascal saw alot of play on standard zoolock, makes alot of sense that zoolock dont need to ramp to develop their board meanwhile most class need to ramp to clear them

[@user-to8ov8ej8b]

Rascal sew play in zoo warlock in wild when it was a tier 1 deck. It stalled priests and other control decks from their big turn/reno

[@mythsealaes2206]

fun fact temporus is good. when played in rogue and comboed with cloak of shadows- it does work until next turn

[@Stupid-yn8tl]

7:45 "Secretly" actually started in KotFT with Fatespinner

[@jarunia17]

I mean, he didn't say anything to contradict that, I believe he knows :P

[@CincyAirshipPirate]

Blubberbaron was a beast back in my old battlecry/buff paladin deck. Used to be able to buff him up to 20-30 pretty consistently. The deck was luck dependent on needing him in the mulligan/early draw .

[@corriedebeer799]

Lore walker cho did lead to some spectacular lols when he came out of a shredder

[@azpont7275]

Harbinger Celestia is a 4 mana Mirror Image, nothing else. I would count her as a secret, I used to play her in an all legendary mage list, and oh boy, there is so many people out there who doesn't know this card and can't or won't read.

[@TheGaboom]

I feel like the caravans have potential to be good if you place them in decks which control the board early on I've liked the paladin one in Even Paladin at least. People burn removal on stuff like the watchtower, I control the board with Silver Hands and/or what I got from first day of school, and having a caravan means another way to keep board full of silver hands to yeet at my enemies

[@MarEngGD]

Ritual of Doom is actually pretty good in egglock.

[@Brisingrr_]

It's nice how so many of these cards are legendaries or epics- so scummy.

[@joshuaheape558]

For a time in standard Revenant Rascal was in a lot of zoo warlock decks. Combined with raise dead you could keep your opponent at 2-3 mana for a few turns while you can keep playing your low-cost minions.

[@knightmarecx2069]

Dr. Boom’s scheme was confirmed to originally be Hagatha’s scheme by Iksar, by that I mean that it’s effects was the aoe, but it was changed to give armor because they were scared that warrior having too many board clears would make it op

[@orangesya7649]

7:00 it was confirmed that the original design for dr booms scheme was hagathas scheme (damage to all minions) but they thought warrior had enough clears and so they gave it to shaman

[@danielcheung4843]

That 33 destroy mana crystal used to be kinda good for zoo for awhile. It sucks after Darkglare nerf maybe. Not sure.

[@sandsundertail6936]

I think Hireek wouldn't be that bad if he was a demon, because there are no beast synergies in warlock, while demon synergies have potential for handbuff, cost reduction and copying, so you could easly achieve board full of big minions with him

[@zuligansvidious]

I don't understand why Blizzard doesn't buff these cards considering that a lot of buff recently, they definitely deserve a buff, and it's better for them that way new decks are born in wild, more variety and people buy more packs in that format. It's a Win Win, everyone wins.

[@ninjashoe2158]

Boom's was actually ment to be the shaman one, but control warrior had too many clears so they made it useless. On purpose.

[@rudon1242]

6:56 Just al little precision Dr Boom scheme had the effect of Haggata scheme during the expansion creation. But the Devs thought this aoe would will be too powerful in this class so they gave it so shaman.

[@TrimutiusToo]

Ritual of doom is played in wild cute lock sometimes... I actually saw it played against me. In top 1k legend too

[@Evan_Schaefering]

Yeah Cutelock is actually good. The Chinese meta report had it at tier 1, which is probably too high but still impressive.

[@rickysebastian6386]

I played Grand Lackey Erkh in my Galakrond Highlander Rogue and do quite decent actually, and also in lackey warlock. Lackeys are strong and to be able to recycle lackeys over and over again is quite strong actually

[@annayosh]

I very much liked Chromatic Egg in my Making Mummies deck.There weren't that many dragons, so your chances of getting one of the great ones in the discover pool were reasonable.

[@TCTphantom]

Solem stopped playing and missed Cute Lock is a tier 2 deck now with Ritual of Doom.

[@raicoron3466]

A lot of these cards were really good in arena. Webweave was a monster play in the low-tempo environment. Kidnapper was also decent in arena, not amazing. Maexxna was a *fine* arena drop in that it wasn't a literal troll card like millhouse, but it was nothing to write home about.

[@corriedebeer799]

I had a lot of fun with summoning stone back in the day. He and vexing crow was a hoot

[@nicolaild]

When did you start playing solem? Cause some of the early cards you mention actually did see play like nat pagle pre nerf and ball of spiders as well as acidmaw

[@giovanne2143]

Solemm, why dont you do a series playing aventures? I would love to see you playing Witchwood...

[@nightknight5357]

As a person who ran freeze shaman I feel insulted. Moorabi carried every 25th game Edit: also played chromatic egg for some solid insurance against board clears. 5 mana make the enemy not use a board clear.

[@hudsongrove5586]

...so i legitimately tried to play most of these in constructed back then... but I will say I'm so glad ritual of doom is a card because sO many people test for Oh my Yogg with the coin. Also I would totally run Lorewalker Cho against spell mage these days

[@olofman300]

Worst in classic is propably core hound and stormpike commando overall, at least kidnapper had a pretty good effect back then

[@kayfimt7769]

Solem, you should know the most efficient way to find the worst cards in hearthstone is just to draft an arena run.

[@corriedebeer799]

Do remember there does exist a format called arena and some cards are made for it.

[@Brisingrr_]

It's shameful that they've made so many utterly pointless cards and they don't do anything to change them or compensate players for literally useless cards.

[@freidrcihschwegel3556]

played deck of chaos a bit in standard. you can tutor deck of chaos with the 8 mana elemental.( decks still bad).

[@biyanshandy8425]

Addition to 7:20 -When you open this on a pack ,you get sad -When you realize that you need to have a bunch of bad epic cards for it to work, makes you even more sad.. HS surely knows how to torture ppl with the cards they made :)

[@PearlSnce]

yeah back in K&K i legit crafted a golden temporus because he looked fun to play.....

[@kaianderson9920]

Maybe you could use Ritual of Doom in some Mecha-thun Otk deck?

[@thechamp6813]

Ever heard of void contract. Dr. Booms scheme and gurubashi offering are owerpowered compared to that card. I'm shocked it is never on a worst card ever list. Very disappointing.

[@SmokesOnMe]

Lock and load was OKAY at producing more spells for Yogg Hunter before the nerf. You weren't going to bring the deck to a tournament, but you could technically beat anything if you made it to turn 10 and had good luck.

[@omologo95]

Ritual of doom made Cutelock a thing. A good, solid T2 deck. It's a good card, though fringe.

[@dantecadiz5353]

Revenant Rascal gets included in darkglare occasionally

[@jenslake622]

No one is talking abour Furorion. The legendary card that draws dragons until a different card appears. It literally was never build in any deck. More worse than Morabi

[@Ledros]

Imo spirit for priest from rastakan rumble is at least decent in slow priest decks

[@janner2006]

Can you do a video about the best tech cards in HS?

[@MagicalButterWarrior]

I used to play a blubber baron deck it was terrible but a huge amount of fun.

[@zerocrane]

Acid maw saw play. Combod with the other hunter legend for board clear.

[@ancient7716]

Cho can be played in some niche mill deck. Millhouse is bad tho. Also old ysera now is much weaker so it could be a candidate as well.

[@joemac7218]

Millhouse has seen play in call to arms paladin. Cho has never seen play. I’ve never heard of a mill deck that ran cho.

[@4dealliance598]

Spirit of the Tiger was actually one of my favorites, but it should have been cheaper

[@Stupid-yn8tl]

The fact that Booms Scheme could be 4 mana cheaper and still not see play is incredible.

[@Ender-xx6li]

Clearly you forgot Eddy's legendary kidnapper lethal

[@esvagy1]

Heey, Zeddy just talked about that Temposus was busted againt control decks, sometimes, in one meta

[@omologo95]

Temporus is really good against most control decks, even today. Especially against the more passive types. Setting up OTKs or creating massive tempo-Pushes is something the card could do. The problem is that it's literal shit against all other archetypes. I do love the card though.

[@esvagy1]

[@hak-en-slash4636]

Spells like web weaver and ball of spiders are bad, But I always enjoyed seeing then cast from random spell triggers

[@hollowknight4630]

I enjoy Hir’eek cause it’s fun and silly and awesome when you pull of a board full of 12/12s

[@IndecBrad]

Spirit of the dragonhawk (the mage one) sees a bit of play in even mage, not a very good deck though

[@thomassynths]

I think your analysis of Revenant Rascal is flawed. The point is to play it in a fast deck as tech against slower decks. You delay their big swing turn by 1 round, which can mean a win.

[@catalintoader9818]

I literally never even knew erkh was a card

[@raikaria3090]

'You would never play Lorewalker Cho for any reason ever' - Actually; it's good against spell mage in Wild [Forces them to use removal and gives you a copy; and they can't use anything else]; also; it's one of the biggest meme cards ever. Unlike Millhouse which is just bad. And how was Blackrock not Majordomo? Deathrattle - Lose the game

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

Ritual of doom is the enabler for baby zoo/ cutelock which is actually kinda competitive right now so I disagree with that section
