Top 5 Rastakhan Cards Players Misrated: Hearthstone Quick Take

[@magnatorra5325]

this guy is the hearthstone version of cgp grey, and i enjoy his content, and i enjoy this channels content. still annoying how long both youtube channels take to produce videos, but i understand without the time sink the videos would noticeably drop in quality

[@meris8486]

Da Undertakah was good but Druid got nerfed

[@sh0gun___]

I wouldn't be surprised if Da Undatakah becomes a top tier card after rotations.

[@meris8486]

[@joshg2188]

That just proved that you can even throw bad cards into the old Druid shell and have a playable deck. Untatakah Taunt Druid was worse than normal Taunt Druid. 8 mana lose some tempo and wait for a deathrattle is bad hearthstone. Card is bad.

[@meris8486]

@@joshg2188 It's not as simple as that, the deck could go _infinite_ which is broken in some matchups but irrelevant in others it's just that usually that doesn't matter, but this doesn't mean there won't be a meta where it's very powerful.

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

@@joshg2188 I usually tried to save a Naturalize or a charged Spellstone, or occasionally an Obliterate, for the Undatakah. Once you had 2 in the deck you could play out Undatakah a lot more freely.

[@Renwoxing13]

My personal opinion on Rastakhan Rumbles MVP card is... Dun du du dan - amani war bear!

[@SynderFGC]

I'mma go with Baited Arrow. I knew it'd be good

[@jackferring6790]

I expect that usage of Spirit of the Dragonhawk will spike when Baku is kicked out of standard and people look for ways to still use Jan'alai on turn 7. Whether its stays in there or if Jan'alai ends up non-viable without Baku is yet to be seen.

[@warptens5652]

Janalai is played in all big spell mages (not odd) with daring fire-eater spirit of the dragonhawk is horribly bad

[@jackferring6790]

@@warptens5652 fair enough, though with us losing Spiteful Summoner, Grand Archivist, Raven Familiar, and Dragon's Fury Big Spell mage is pretty much done for. If Mage doesn't get a new control-oriented deck Janalai might drop in usage.

[@warptens5652]

yeah big spell mage will be gone, and even if big spells were still there I doubt any ctrl mage could work without jaina. They will have to print some serious value card for ctrl mage to be a thing.

[@madelinew2884]

Is your rating going to change after rotation? After all most of the cards had been overshadowed by mammoth year and will now make a semi new pool from witch I bet some unexpected cards are gonna shine.

[@Bruh-el9js]

7:31 spirit of the frog in maly shaman was rising bruh

[@iansamuel1811]

yeah i'm pretty sure that card is just a 3 mana auctioneer with stealth... why is no one playing it? i think maly shaman in wild is way better than people give it credit for

[@TheIvasyl]

Ian Samuel I saw Sinto playing a lot of malygos shaman a thought it was a thing in wild

I wish serrated tooth made a minion in your hand have rush. Maybe for the next turn if permanent rush would be op.

I don't think we should take any conclusions for the cards in Rastakhan expansion yet. This set will be judge after the mighty and loved month of april.

[@victorheliangelo2666]

spirit of the frog is being slept on and will be the core with thunderhead for the best shaman deck in the next rotation

[@iansamuel1811]

3 mana auctioneer.. nuff said

[@rawovunlapin8201]

It's worth noting that these corrections are for a meta that appeared after 2 major rounds of nerfs, seriously affecting the playability of the enforcer compared to what we knew before the expansion dropped.

[@HibeePin]

Spirit of the frog will be good after rotation in aggro shaman with doomhammer and likkim. Likkim is just too good

[@foolishsamurai9]

spirit of the frog does wonders in wild even tho aggro shaman is not that popular

[@neon1321]

I wonder if spirit of the lynx would be usable if it switched effects with Untamed Beastmaster. Directly handcuffing your beasts as you draw them as well as having the same cost as beastmaster for less stats and a +1/+1 rather than +2/+2? (I don’t remember the beast masters stats buff)

[@BranHawk775]

Funny, I was watching the other counterpart to this vid and was wondering when this one would come. Good vid!

[@Earlgrando]

Players really underestimated baited arrow. It saw tons of play pre nerf and still sees play .

[@schumerus6786]

The Tiger Spirit is not as bad as people think. Sure it’s a massive throwback to play it early, but if you have one in your deck and run a decent amount of spell, particularly buff-spells (because putting a buff in the spirit is game changing) and you might just be able to summon a bunch of 2/2 in the late game or a 4/7 and 4/4 for 8 Mana with Blessing of Kings. I wouldn’t let this one slip out of the radar just yet, it’s time will come

[@somalianpirate7305]

In regards to the Spirit cards, Dragonhawk and Frog has seen competitive play in Wild, in Even Mage and Burn Shaman (respectively).

[@thewave1983]

Didn't a lot of streamers say Wardruid Loti was going to be a thing? I never saw it once in the 2 months I played through the meta. It's a terrible card.

[@bycmozeszymon]

That's mostly because all good Druid decks run some Oaken Summons synergy, which obviously makes Loti awful.

[@OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa]

For some reason people thought a lot of incredibly mediocre options was somehow equal to two very good ones.

[@warptens5652]

it was definitely over rated, but the card is not terrible, it's druid of the scythe with more options, and druid of the scythe sees some play in spiteful druid. It's just not worth crafting a legendary. It's a bit like crystalizer that should see play over dire mole in rogue decks but doesn't because it's epic

[@TheIvasyl]

1. The competition is too high. Some good cards may not make it to the best decks. 2. We got 6 expansions at the same time 3. Watch Purple, my personal best Tog druid player

[@chrisjason7607]

How to fix spirit of the dead “my favorite of the 9 spirits” and make it competitive *Change (after a friendly minion dies, shuffle a 1 cost copy into your deck)* *To (WHENEVER a friendly minion dies shuffle a 1 cost copy into your deck)* Because it will be able to shuffle after a boardclear, The Whole shuffle strategy for priest goes to hell when i play my second spirit and get hellfired and i have a Bwonsamdi that can no longer fill my hand with hacks

[@arumon123]

spirit of the dead is already competitive though... maybe you're just not playing it right? because if it was whenever a minion dies what would be the point of playing any class other than priest? we'd have the same problems as when hunter over took the meta after the recent expansion.

[@eyalhecht637]

@@arumon123 spirit of the dead is competitive? I wouldn't call a card thats played in less than 1% of decks competitive (according to hs replay)

[@chrisjason7607]

@@arumon123 it's not, it's in no meta or tier 2 deck, and it dies to everything. I'm pretty proficient at using it in wild but I cannot pass rank 17, if I'm running it as a key card. It has to be in a deck based around card draw, and if said card is destroyed you put yourself at risk of fatigue 6 cards before your opponent. (Because you'll have loothorders drawing cards for no reason now. And it wouldn't be that bad if it was "whenever" it would just shuffle itself when it dies. It Can still be silenced and you'd still have to wait to draw it again. Now yes that change would make spirit of the dead marginally batter than the other spirits but it wouldn't make all other decks obsolete, as ANY shuffle deck loses to an agro deck if said deck is capable of lethal on turn 5 or 6. I've got the whole team of SOTD, Bwonsamdi, and other synergies, but the card just vanishes to fast, in most cases I have to pack mirage caller just so I can shuffle the spirit when it does and it still takes too long. Only 2 things would change 1) it shuffles minions killed in board clear 2)it shuffles when it dies Nothing crazy

[@chrisjason7607]

Oof I didn't mean to type an essay, I just want that card to be great

[@milozaagsma1155]

Thats soo fucking op my dude...

[@F2PAlius]

5:05 I have a standard pirate rogue deck that uses Serrated Tooth and it is decent. I dont think it was Overrated, but i wouldn't say it is bad. I mean, there are many pirates in the game with weapon synergies and the Tooth is a 1 mana weapon for rogue.

[@Boon.Oreo6042]

I used the Serrated Tooth on a kind of zoo-pirate rogue that was like a control deck (yeah, it was weird af) the card is not that bad, its just a bit hard to use and you have to expect almost nothing from it, if they use a weapon removal... it's a shame but it's not that bad, also it makes a good 3 mana combo with the hero power to give rush to all your minions, i don't know, i liked it :P

[@scottdevnull5778]

did the champion for warrior see much play ? I could of sworn it was seen as a powerful value card but I've never seen it

[@TheDragonLord12341]

Because he is 4 mana and the good dragon warrior deck was odd dragonquest warrior

[@warptens5652]

yes it's played in rush warrior and it's good there check hs replay

Where did you get the data for this?

[@willcozine1581]

Kinda proud of myself because I liked moshogg from the start

[@willcozine1581]

I really wanted serrated tooth to be good tho. Very wrong about that

[@chrisjason7607]

True, one look and you can tell that it was printed for priest but so many were amazed

[@gregmattessich4733]

Spirit of the frog was run in Aggro overload shaman quite a lot how was it not good

[@pierrotnasse]

I think the spirits and undatakah are still to find a more potent synergy in standard - more likely to happen with the adventure and one expansion or two - and might be too soon to say it

[@Gradamit]

He's how people rate cards they think of the best case scenario then the worst case scenario and what ever the most likely will happen that's the rating they'll give

[@musicforu5819]

Shaman spirit is actually really strong in wild agro spell overload shaman. Being able to draw 5 cards per round on agro deck that has roughly 24 face damage in spells alone is kinda a big deal (it can go higher due to discover factor too)

[@warptens5652]

It's actually not very strong in anything, it's never in the top half of the cards (HS replay, sort by drawn winrate)

[@jamesrobsonza7752]

I do believe that Spirit of the Frog is a good card, its just that decks that revolve around burn rely so heavily on it they fall flat without it and decks that tech it in dont have enough spells to make it worth

[@nathand842]

Amani Warbear?

[@GreekMorpheous]

Dah undertaker is an interesting card, it’s power swinging wildly from broken to useless depending on the game.

[@kassandramartin3016]

I agree with waiting on Da Undatakah. I think it's a really strong card that could be really good given the right support.

[@Rasul_583]

I saw someone on the hearthstone subreddit bet 1000$ that pirate rouge would be tier 1 on lol (it wasnt and he donated it to charity). I had also seen other people also think that pirate rouge or even rouge would be good and some people crafted a golden hooktusk

[@warptens5652]

hooktusk is extremely good pirate rogue and even rogue are both above 50% winrate, with the good lists consistently going around 57%

[@icymcspicy9511]

bloodclaw is good in pirate paladin though. Ive hit legend with the deck and ended up climbing high with it as well

Really just want to comment on those new Year of the Dragon changes. But absolutely, videos and scripting take time. Rastakhan has been a fun expansion, I honestly got a lot of fun out of a Priest Zombie deck. Wish Druid went somewhere but then they got some heft nerfs, Hunter did pretty well early on and OTKO Paladin was more of a thing.

[@ArmorFrogEntertainment]

Everyone thought Baited Arrow would suck. Then it turned out pretty good.

[@ICA_Ghost]

how does hakkar fit in this list? it was rated SLIGHTLY better than it is... nothing you would mention in a video like this

[@Begeru]

Trump thought Moshogg Enforcer would be great with Master Oakheart. Everyone gives him crap for bad calls, but he's one of the only streamers to get that right. Also I'm blown away that anyone seriously thought the Spirit of the Lynx was going to be good.

[@benwendt8430]

You forgot treespeaker! ....kinda. It was relevant briefly there

Im playin serrated tooth since day 1 and let me tell you that you are wrong penniless. Its very good.

[@adriandurlej9266]

you can't argue with this logic tho. Maybe you were lucky to pull it off in most circumstances but for me it always flopped going against anything that wasn't aggro. He is underestimating the fact that u can break it at anytime with hero power which does make it alot more playable.

[@tonyVBergeron]

@@adriandurlej9266 ive played it in a pirate tempo deck . serrated tooth is good but not by itself true . you need to play the 3 cost draw 2 pirate combo a weapon . but i found that these 2 cards together shines.

If the Mage Spirit was cost 3 (odd) I think Baku would actually make it see play. xD

5. I thought this was a good card but only like 3/5. Priest really made it 4.idk meme card I figured 3. Didn't like since you had to run only beasts. 2.i was way off thought this would be amazing lol 1. Forgot that existed

[@StrangerX9]

All spirit cards should have been totems, this way it opens it up for Shaman to have a totem themed deck and cards that could discover a totem or summon a random totem.

[@matthewmazzatto8003]

We also got a neutral totem in Rastakhan's Rumble (Serpent Ward), so introducing more totem synergy wouldn't have been a bad idea.

[@jeromefournier9667]

I'm a simple man, if a card steals cards from opposing classes or synergises with stolen cards... then i rate them top tier (In fun!)

[@danielcharland1374]

I don't know about the spirits being useless. I get creamed by priest decks using Spirit of the Dead all the time. Also, I'm of the view that there is no worthless card, simply synergies that either have yet to be discovered with the current cards, or will become available in an expatiation or two. That's one of the reasons I love wild. So many more useful cards because of so many possible synergies.
