INSANE GAME Reynad Freeze Mage vs Rage Giants Mage

.

[@shardgunner4815]

Crying because I love and miss firebat’s content so much, and hearing his voice is just so nice. Plus, the old guard of hearthstone pro’s is so top tier

[@bonestryke5391]

I agree with and was just reminiscing about everything you just said. 😭😭 I rewatch as much Firebat and Reynad content as I can find.

[@FlyingJetpack1]

I came watching hearthstone, and got a chess match.

[@diokosa7001]

It's bobby Fischer vs Russia ;)

[@RuNacken]

Not sure why this got recommended in 2022, but I'm glad and watched the whole thing. Great stuff!

[@krazyknick]

"i never seen someone play so many lothebs against freeze mage and lose"

I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

@Colby Nash instablaster ;)

[@jayb1rd576]

Probably the greatest display of skill in any HS game I've ever seen.

[@teckelred]

+Jay Prines Reynad played well, Rage made multiple bad mistakes that cost him the game.

[@XenderWindX]

+Jay Prines LOL, not by a long shot. So many misplays, especially by Rage.

[@jayb1rd576]

Karan Gandhi Both players don't have to play well to show the skill of one player. Rage made mistakes but it was still an epic game.

[@nassimace]

+Karan Gandhi WE KNOW what they have in each others hands. they don't. if you have ever played hearthstone you know that missplays are normal if you don't know EXACTLY what your opponent can do.

[@KarstenOkk]

+teckelred I agree Rage was being dumb as hell at times.

[@reversetriangle]

If Reynad duplicated the mad scientist hitting it with a frost bolt, he would have been short on damage killing Rage and ultimately losing. King Reynoodle: summoner of salt.

[@PhrozenBlood]

+reversetriangle omg ur right however i still think rage would have screwed it up rage made quite a few missplays which im not bout to bitch about cuz this match is one of the hardest matches u can have. i prolly would have made missplays way worse than that

[@aosxion]

+reversetriangle If Reynad had duplicated the mad scientist instead then he wouldn't have had to waste 1x Frostbolt, 2x Ice Lance and 2x Fireball clearing the 2x Duplicated Frost Giants. Reynad would have won the game way before it reached fatigue.

[@troyg25]

+aosxion But if he did that then he can't ping the 8/1 frost giant, taking 8 more dmg. It's like you guys just theory craft but don't take consideration the effects of what happened, while making another play but still benefiting. GTFO

[@mortuc1]

But he never used a frostbolt for dmg on rage s face anyway

[@shadohead55]

All Rage needed to do at 12:30 was trade one giant into alex, use coin, play healbot, and echo, giving him 2 more healbots in hand. That would have instantly won him the game. He fucked up pretty hard.

[@FAULTYCLONE001]

Yea i was thinking the same damn thing. He got too greedy with his giantsv

[@renojackson8827]

thats what rage was trying to do u can see him relizing that he pinged for nothing after playng that coin xD if he got that echo off he would have won

[@personalejcr]

But the pleasure of seeing your opponent's health go down can't be ignored, do not fight your instincts *hero power changes to steady shot*

[@EebstertheGreat]

13:20 It looks like Rage miscounted his mana, as you can see by his mortified reaction. I'm surprised the casters missed it.

[@HedrUsh21]

he didnt realise the healing would fuck his moltens up

[@UpWithTheSickness]

@@HedrUsh21 looks like he wanted to coin echo but forgot he used 2 mana on ping at the beginning of turn.

[@Hankks]

I love how were are just commenting on this 7 year old video like they played yesterday, good times

[@xb_420]

@@Hankks never watched a whole lot of HS in its prime, but this is definitely the best game i've ever watched. i rewatch it every few years. very entertaining game

[@ayahuok4340]

just look at the green aura around his cards while he actually doesn't have the mana to play them. that's why. thanks blizzard

[@0ffspringfan]

Frost giants always frozen :(

[@Johnnpeace]

+0ffspringfan :P the irony

[@Johnnpeace]

***** i can get your point.. BUT i cant see how having frost giants that cant be used cause they are frozen is not ironic...they are Ice and they cant attack cause of cold :p

[@naruto00nix]

of all the hearthstone players ive been watching reynad amazes me the most :) he keeps coming up with clever plays to get out of sticky situations with his unique way of thinking :D

[@Mourmoun91]

Nice ping at 13:00 lost 2mana , can't echo = Loose the game

[@diokosa7001]

I know right of he got that off he would've definitely won the game freeze Mage is really good vs a lot of decks but always seems to have a problem with all other Mage decks other then mech Mage of course

[@Mourmoun91]

+cristhian dc Sorry i absolutly don't wanna spoil , but what did you look my com's before look the vid' ^^?

[@omgwtfbbqalekx]

[@sadystalulu]

reynad is one of smartest players

[@christophersmith7412]

No minions on board. Hand full of nothing but spells. Rope. Ping. E S P O R T S.

[@snosan]

This matchup reminds me a lot of face hunter vs face hunter.

[@fetch3000rules]

+Keegan Meerholz it actually does get pretty interesting when you are both playing it. You have to figure out a way to deal max damage to your opponent while preventing them from dealing the same damage to you.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@DevelonLP]

Reynad played that so well against a nearly perfect draft from rage but the most important part he missplayed. 7 years old and i was sitting on the edge watching this lol.

[@Dmahmoud17]

u played hs at 7 lol wow

[@robertalexstorm]

Back when hearthstone was cool and not a jumbled mess of RNG.

[@ericgreen8570]

Man seven years ago? That’s crazy.

[@chaglfbma9064]

My favourite hs meta... Rip slow decks and the finesse that comes with them

[@Katandusty]

to get matched against aggro next game and lose in 2 minutes

[@sl41_dev]

watching in 2023... peak.hearthstone.

[@Bai_Su_Zhen]

The only thing Rage needed to do in this matchup was to echo his double healbot.

[@Drengen10]

Think rage could've NOT attacked with scientist because he kewn that eventually he would hit with a molten. Had to require a lot more micromanagement and counting, but would've eventually set reynad up to above 8 hp

[@Blaisem]

This is the 3rd comment I read on Rage's misplays. The more I scroll down the more I learn how Rage messed this game up LOL.

[@JeffxMorrison]

firebat is a good commentator

[@SoyFelipeCTM]

World champ

[@TheGadock]

In the beginning I was like, Reynad! PLAY YOUR FREAKING CARDS AAAAH! But how he won eventually, duamn that was masterfull :D

[@ПророкМухоед]

Rage just gave him victory with his 2 missplays -- playing all healbots at once, and then leaving archmage for 1 extra turn, while he could kill him with wall of fire + ping.

[@OMGFishoo]

+DEn Bond Wall of fire? LOLWATT

[@ПророкМухоед]

OMGFishoo What are you? 9 year old kid? You understood, no need to pretend.

[@OMGFishoo]

DEn Bond No I didn't. I have no idea what you meant by Wall of Fire.

[@ПророкМухоед]

OMGFishoo Then, you probably dont understand hints in general, and have problems with guessing. But, its your own issues, bb.

[@OMGFishoo]

DEn Bond No, the real problem is that the firework autowork couldn't fizzle with the damn schnops. #walloffire

[@nihilisticexistentialist6007]

who's laughing now?

[@nickmagrick7702]

13:20 the moment when you realized, you just dun fucked up

[@WhiteCrowization]

For people stuck in chicken rank and never played echo giants before. The reason he didn't "echo his healbots" is because he is planning the next move and wants to duplicate the giants. putting more minions on the field means he has a lower chance of duplicating them. Reynad will also take advantage of this by killing the healbots/BGH first for duplicate, as we saw for the reason on not pinging the sheep.

[@APeXofMarksmen]

+WhiteCrowization almost correct, but the what gets duplicated is not determined by random but rather by the order of play, so the minion on board that was played first will get duplicated if multiple die :)

[@notsoslick]

+freshwaterTF no he his completely correct. If rage played anything else, Reynad could've frostbolt end, aoe isn't the only option.

[@APeXofMarksmen]

+Soccerfreak tyui thats true but "putting more minions on the field means he has a lower chance of duplicating them" is not correct.

[@WhiteCrowization]

+freshwaterTF Plays another minion now that minion has a chance of being duped instead of giants so yes a lower chance is correct.

[@APeXofMarksmen]

WhiteCrowization thats not correct. its NOT random which minion gets duped if multiple die. the order of play determines that

[@marianorivera3272]

I miss this hearthstone

[@j0kerplayz766]

Thats the best game of hearthstone i've ever seen.

[@alexfire20bfh]

MOST INTENSE GAME :o

[@anklesthedragon]

Rage threw the game by not killing antonidas with flame strike the first opportunity. Reynad had the perfect amount of fireballs which is only because he generated that 1 extra fireball the following turn to not killing antonidas. Tough way to lose

[@benjaminadler2001]

Rage really misplayed this game :(

[@petran_kav]

The experience watching it live was priceless.

[@ivantolkachev4808]

horrrrrible play at 12:15. wtf. Should have done healbot(5) + Nova(2) + Echo(3) + throw away coin to avoid overdraw next turn.

[@SHALKKETV]

+Ivan Tolkachev agreed

[@Yuztok]

+Ivan Tolkachev Yeah, he seems to recognize after his turn ends, he grabs his hair and opens his mouth.

[@WtbgoldBlogspot]

+Ivan Tolkachev Totally, these guys are such noobs. -_-

[@mitchellvachon7428]

Hey knew it was a bad play. You are sorta preaching to the choir.

[@Johnnpeace]

+Ivan Tolkachev yeah he made 2 bad plays that lost him the game you called the one and the other imo was at 22:28 he gave free fireballs for no reason at all when he could just flamestrike ping the antonidas....

[@Blaisem]

Is it just me or was Frodan smarter back then? He had some fast pick ups on smart plays like duplicating the mad scientist (which kinda ruined the illusion of the perfect game for me when Reynad didn't do it).

[@Dmahmoud17]

what? frodan says right after why hed want to wipe the board instead. ur zooming in

[@Jenartik]

you can't beat Reynoodle at a game he invented

[@coolvideoust2826]

these were simpler times, truly...

[@999kafka]

[Spoiler]For me, playing that second loatheb so early was the worst mistake by rage. Saving it for more critical stages of the game maybe could saved him.

[@kronniichiwa9909]

Rng and silly mechanics killed this game

[@Kofigz]

Why does Ice block doesnt work on fatigue? Theres clearly written "when your hero takes fatal damage"

[@Gorerend]

+Koffciak because Secrets cannot activate on your turn, so when the player takes fatigue damage 99% of the time it's at the start of their turn as they are forced to draw a card.

[@Gorerend]

that's just a specific case in which it's currently the only secret that can activate on the players turn due to the way it works since it has the requirement of minions in play at the start of the turn to activate on their side of the board. But there was a time where secrets could activate on the player's turn which is what lead to it being changed cause it was excessively broken in certain cases (even more so now, just think of Effigy/Duplicate if it could activate on the players turn it'd be beyond broken).

[@GandalfTheCat]

This game made my noodles salty

[@Jordinilini]

I fell asleep 4 times while watching this. FOUR

[@silverfishlordpaf6364]

Amazing! I love fatiqgue matchs! O como se diga.

[@idunusegoogleplus]

does anyone else find rage's face annoying as hell? whenever he laughs it triggers me for some unknown reason

[@OutMagic]

That was freakin awesome XD woah

[@macnolds4145]

This just came up in my feed today, but I fell conpelled to provide an unpopular opinion about this match. It actually epitomizes one of the biggest problems with HS, and gives a clear demonstration of why so many left the game. Explicitly, 1 - it's non-interactive; you can't do anything on enemy turns 2 - you need to psychically figure out exactly what the opponent is running (archetype and specific cards) to an extreme degree 3 - decks types aren't actually diverse; you only get the illusion of diversity 4 - can be slow as hell sometimes 5 - no side deck / Extra deck / Market / etc. I currently play Eternal (which ain't perfect either), but is vastly superior to Hearthstone in those aforementioned, specific ways. Players should be responding and not playing a slow, waiting game based on primarily meta knowledge. Skill should be demonstrated in how one responds.

[@alexandernargizian1755]

why does rage waste his aoe spells? to keep room in his hand?

[@PhrozenBlood]

Yea i believe rage did make a couple missplays with the echos however i think the ultimate missplay was leaving that archamge antonidas up to long. He should have saved poly since he only had 1 for archmage i know thaurrisan is a huge threat but in this math up not so much especially being played that early on. however he couldnt have known what cards were in reynads hand it. so possibly the outcome would have still allowed reynad to generate just as much fireballs. hmm maybe even more so maybe it was correct. idk honestly. i think rage just built his deck a little too clunky he relied a little too much on just giants in his deck

[@nicollasdaher4861]

+Steven Ater Lol he made quite a few mistakes, for example, pinging the 2/1 scientist that reynad himself was pinging down. Could've let his opponent waste 2 more mana for it and it was the damage difference between winning and losing.

[@nicollasdaher4861]

Mark Beckmann™ Yeah he was.

[@nicollasdaher4861]

+Mark Beckmann™ Actually place in top 100 pretty often, so no, I'm not.

[@AcousticJamesSGP]

+Mark Beckmann™ c'mon now guys. Let's all just calm down. We all love the game of Hearthstone.

[@havoc6857]

2024 gosh i miss All these Gold hs Player and old hs... Today its totally trssh this game

[@johnathanzachary9297]

wasn't it game set if Rage wouldn't have set the ice barrier secrets so early?

[@avananana]

+Drboomerino Kripperino Ice Barrier is great early, specialy against classes with alot of spells. If he did them later, Raynad could simply ignore his face with his minions and just used spells to deal damage as spells doesn't activate ice barrier.

[@heyyou983]

idk why watching this

[@chaos800]

ah ice block....what a broken card for a very underpowered era of hearthstone

[@samchen_123]

great game

i play giants mage with reno right now its my favourite deck

What a Game

[@ABC97613]

why didn't rage play iceblock in the last turn? it would've saved him right?

[@xburnerxxx1]

+Haite Schootstra The fatigue already killed him before he could start playing his turn.

[@ABC97613]

Pro Dick But i mean the turn before that, instead of alexstrasa(set a health to 15)

[@Kwadjia]

+Haite Schootstra He already had an Ice Block on the board, since the fatigue killed him not the opponent it doesn't trigger the ice block

no it didnt his fireballs were still 4 mana

[@uli713]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[@ayahuok4340]

13:12 the green aura around rage's card missleading him to think he had mana to play echo. casters didnt even noticed.. WTF THANKS BLIZZARD. 18:04 flamestrike & acolyte have green aura while he only has 2 mana. what the hell ? everyone seems to think rage did multiple mistakes but the game was missleading him into it.

[@FufflePuff]

+Matthew Day Fatigue mage does exist

[@shadeishere]

:D

[@pitamus123]

The funny thing is that rage could've won at the end if he played both moltens instead of one and ping and if reynad still fire-balled face he could've alextrazza'd reynad and hit twice with moltens and won with the 3 dmg from fatigue. but i'm not pro so whatever

[@MrJonboy]

+jordan balfour alex would have put him back up to 15, one attack from molten and you go down to 7 which means the second giant would have popped the block leaving reynad with 7 hp and could survive the fatigue.

[@pitamus123]

+MrJonboy1000 yep, I'm dumb nvm
