"One Last Chance"

[@blyjd91]

I love how Trump acually thinks face hunters are gonna trade sometimes. Face is the only place they know.

[@ursairgrath7836]

+GunvorPlays Face is Love, Face is Life

[@jaloveast1k]

+GunvorPlays this is a game, here is no "Positive" or "Negative" moves, only plays which make you win and plays which make you lose. And for face hunter in 95% cases play which makes you win is.. Going face! (Except of BMing ofc)

[@jaloveast1k]

+GunvorPlays and also for existance of huntards (and other aggro decks) you should blame not people who play game, but developers of the game (hi Blizzard) who made them possible. Don't actually know why they did it, may be for people who has zero brains but still have money and will to play card game..

[@lubomirsalgo7638]

+JaLoveast1k Inc. Face hunter is the cheapest deck out there which can get you to legend. Cheep = f2p, so it's for people with money"?", I see.

[@leevi9383]

+GunvorPlays Face is the place me no need to trade

[@cmck362]

Flash heal seems like a good card to add. The heal is useful against face hunter and freeze mage to quickly get out of lethal range and when you aren't facing those decks you can use it with auchenai soulpriest as removal or burst.

[@beyOndzZz]

+Chris c-k it's not a bad card but light of the naaru is much better for this deck.

[@ZanloAstron]

+beyOndzZz Mabye one of each

[@AstridCeleste96]

+ZanloAstron No reason for one of each, really. He's mostly playing a value game so Light of the Naaru is probably better.

[@TheSquareOnes]

+beyOndzZz Yeah, the issue with flash heal is that 2 health is usually going to be worth giving up for a lightwarden so it's a bit hard to actually justify the slot in anything that doesn't have room for both (which is itself a hard thing to justify). It almost seems like they should have released them in the opposite order if only so flash heal could have had a few months to shine, now it's just another niche card for the shelf.

[@Mathmachine]

17:20 That Harvest Golem though. No loyalty man. ...Laughed *way* too hard at this.

[@Xylarxcode]

+Mathmachine That harvest golem was probably thinking: Mom. Dad. Please stop fighting. You can have shared custody.

[@CroniusXP]

+Xylarxcode This comment made my day :D

[@wolgercon]

+Mathmachine Hey at 26:00 they were fighting over him again

[@Mathmachine]

+Mr. Brightside So they were. Harvest Golem popular it seems.

[@Mathmachine]

I love the titles to these episodes. I turn them into a little mini-game themselves. "Ok, listen carefully to find where this one is hidden." Jens making these doubly fun!

[@MrFF7FF7]

These are coming out faster than I can get round to watching them :D

[@musiccolection9805]

Every Time wair for the next F2P-Episode :D

[@dillonlayton1399]

I'm just here waiting for Life is Strange

[@jaskajokunen3716]

+Dillon Layton Im not, that game sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dillonlayton1399]

+Miika Ruokonen you don't know what you are talking about

[@jaskajokunen3716]

Dillon Layton its my opinion

[@dillonlayton1399]

Miika Ruokonen sorry, its just that game.... it means so much to me at this point.

[@HiddenWen]

That first game vs face hunter was such a text book example of what its like losing to one. Double skill command into Leeroy.

[@GrandChaseHotStuven]

+HiddenWen He should have traded into the spider and holy nova'd. Never play soul priest in such a low situation.

[@None38389]

+GrandChaseHotStuven Agreed, I would've clear the spider. It is likely a mistake on trump's part, but then again he was probably trying to kill the hunter before he gets killed since his deck is unlikely to win in the long run given that there's no burst-heal in the deck.

[@beyOndzZz]

+Adam Lee actually priests win in the long run as long as they stabilize the board. not with auchenai tho. 2 heal each turn = 2 dmg from hunter. yes there are no more heal spells but all you need is to survive 2-3 turns and the game is won. leaving beast on the board was always one of those dangerous stuff to do and imo it was a missplay afterall. even the slightest small missplay can cost you the game vs hunter.

[@Gabu_]

The hearthstone videos won't stop coming.

[@pomonkeypo]

I really hope Trump pulls off this F2P, so that I can just link this series whenever someone whines about P2W

[@GorillaBorg]

+Sasha Sheptovitsky They'll still whine about it in order to justify their own lack of skill. But your heart's in the right place.

[@pomonkeypo]

***** That's besides the point? The idea is to get there with F2P decks to prove that it's possible

[@spectre456123]

+Jelle Hoekstra Well, he's done many F2P series

[@alagosplode]

+Diego Arevalo The belief; is that legend with F2p is no longer possible with the expansions

[@pomonkeypo]

+Jelle Hoekstra The game shouldn't be balanced so that the average player can just start playing and get legend. The idea is that the only thing holding new players from getting legend is a difference in skill, and not money.

[@tsunamininja]

Damn that Harvest Golem is such a traitor. Or a double-double agent. Get's Mind Control Technician'd twice, and Cabal Shadow Priest'd twice lol.

[@marcinlisowski8531]

[@McKevGaming]

confusedcrib, proud member of the original thought police.

[@ciao_shibe1517]

17:46 didn't trump MISSplay? By hitting the shredder into the elemental, (and blade master into MCT) and smiling the 3/2 down, his 4/3 would not have been frozen and he would have a 2 drop from shredder (as normal)

[@darthmortus5702]

In that Freeze Mage game, Trump should have Shadow Madnessed the Acolyte and then killed it with Holy Smite after attacking with it. That way he would deny 1-2 cards to the mage. It wouldn't have worked since he got Alex on his regular draw but it was a misplay. Of course I don't fault him for it, hindsight is 20/20

[@STeWBaIIZ]

Pained me so much to see you "Well played" the face hunter

[@whoplygobly271]

Well played hunter you played on curve and attacked face for the entire game

[@juamibenito2558]

where can one find that cool art in the vid's thumbnail? :D

[@eduardo.sganzerla]

Hey how do you get that side bar showing all the cards on your deck?

[@sirgaz8699]

ppfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff freeze mage is so boring, might as well be playing solitaire.

[@BatLB]

+sirgaz true. usually , in trumps situation, I just give up... I can zoolock 6 wins in the time I am waiting for him to finish me.

[@ambershao2421]

Combo wombo!

[@lateralyst]

I think the auchenai play in the first game was in no scenario right. You have to basically heal face every turn and you'll never find a way to kill off an auchenai against face hunter (unless highmane)... I'd kinda like to know his thought process on that play

[@PescaitoFrito]

@TRUMP Bro i'm so happy it was a honor to play against you i'm BlezzeD#1929 tag :D i lost again you shaman vs shamn hahaah :3 im your fan! I cant post photos :( so sad.........

[@Tephr1te]

would using shrinkmeister + shadow madness on the sylvanas then running it into the dr boom at about 27:00 be a bad idea?

[@n1njagoph3r75]

Those mass dispels would have destroyed that freeze Mage

[@igotnothingbetter]

Surprised he didn't immediately recognize Strifecro's grinder mage

[@bunniz]

Do you think that Sylvanas, Doctor Boom or Emperor Thaurrisan could be placed in any deck and they be would be good?

[@Martin-5675]

guys do you have any tips vs freeze mage cause i struggle against that deck

[@TheGreatRakatan]

The scum was real in that first game. And the later game. The scum is so real.

[@Davaa1993]

what's card name to this videos picture

[@willaimshat]

Why give FaceTard the satisfaction of the "Well Played?" #CancerofHearthStone

[@nobodythatisyou3195]

Face hunter takes so little skill to play its disgusting

[@OhNoTheFace]

+nobodythatisyou Most of the popular decks don't

[@mauricebackx2354]

Probably get shit on for this comment but i still believe there is skill required to play the deck well, i see tons of Players just making obvious mistakes while playing face hunter sure it is probably among the easier decks in HS but you cant play a week hearthstone build a face Hunter spend 20 hours a day and get to legend

[@OhNoTheFace]

*snicker* Yes, yes, and Smash Bros is skillful too right? Same metaphor for the easy version of games in a genre

[@None38389]

+CamTheKitty Easy version of the genre? Not at all true, it's a game with a very different archetype which takes just as much time to master. If you think it's "easy", you are probably not playing against any good player.

[@JL897139]

+nobodythatisyou Nope, you have to know when to trade, it's not face face face all the time when your opponent summons something too powerful

[@benschelbert3912]

how good is 'prophet velen'?

[@vlad11112]

What happened to arena and pack opening?

[@MasterPpv]

26:16 misplay? He could've Shrinkmeister + Cabal'd the other guy's Cabal...

[@brendanpeltier4414]

I kind of balked at how not well Trump played that first match. Why even let the haunted creeper stay alive to proc kill command? That one extra damage the spectral creepers would have provided would have been entirely negligible in the long run.

[@joedoe6836]

Couldn't trump have won against the freeze mage (around 10 min mark)? He had 18 damage combined, and the mage's only relevant secret was +8 armor, right?

[@Hardstylez4Eva]

Good god, Face Hunter just looks like the dullest deck to play.. its very frustrating to run into multiples of them.. specially if you haven't crafted a deck to hard counter-them.

[@TF2NefC]

Why not mind control the alexstraza?

[@mauricebackx2354]

[@MsMix91]

[@Rand00mThing]

I respect Trump more than ever. Look back a few months ago when he was naive and oblivious to obvious shit. Look at him now. He's on a horse. He's the man you're man should be. The new Axe Effect. Draw them women towards yourself.

[@OmegaA1000]

Whenever trump doesn't use his hero power and just ends his turn I always think- DUDE! what if he played jeweled scarab, and then got web spinner, played web spinner, you get unstable portal, and from that you get frost giant. just missed out on 1 potential mana, Trump why...

[@spiderfrancis4872]

I remember that Trump said he could get to legend in the first month he starts his f2p run...

[@Langolyer2010]

Lately I've been reacting to hunters same way. Just sit back in chair and relax, there is nothing you can do against supreme skill.

[@anssiaurum264]

Down to 67% win rate at the end. Well played, Trump.

[@johnxue4468]

+Kåpla Kvëhla *67% win rate

[@anssiaurum264]

John Xue I thought you're wrong, but I see you're getting likes. I thought it was 48%. Can you explain why is it 67%?

[@johnxue4468]

Kåpla Kvëhla If a deck is getting a 50% win rate, then the deck would have an equal number of wins/losses (e.g. 25-25). In other words, 50% of the time you win, and the other 50% you lose. Therefore: winrate = (number of wins) / (number of total games played) *Win rate is a proportion of number of wins compared to number of total games.* In conclusion, Trump's win rate is pretty good, especially for a F2P deck with a lot of basic cards.

[@DragonMasterGold]

+Kåpla Kvëhla If you take number of wins and divide it by number of games played, then times that number by 100 you will have your percent.

[@anssiaurum264]

Thanks guys. Fixed it.

[@echaen1707]

Because as a Freeze Mage, that's their win condition. If Trump healed then he had a narrow chance of surviving the game, if he Mind Controlled then he almost definitely died.

[@seankirschner973]

You would've beaten the freeze Mage if you hadn't misplayed.

[@johnmcclane-nz4de]

And face hunter wins of course it does

[@Klogeist]

[@Alloran]

This is why I always, always, always clear the beasts. Trump consistently doesn't clear the spider and ends up getting double full power kill commanded. I wonder what Trump is thinking about when he makes that decision, just figuring the odds maybe of the other guy holding both and deciding it's too unlikely to play around?

[@killu2later]

hound master is a card as well, so there is no reason he didn't trade. It seems like he thought the hunter would trade into his minions.

[@superlouis3333]

+killu2later Face Hunter doesn't play Houdmaster. He didn't kill the minions because he had to play something on the board, if he doesnt then the hunter plays his own minions, goes face and Trump has nothing to contest the board. It's risky but you have to start dealing damage to the hunter at some point or you're dead. You can't just control.

[@observer3984]

BlazeIt420

[@gamerk316]

Trump needs to learn to clear those Beast cards. That's twice he could have killed a Haunted Creeper, didn't, and got double Kill Commanded to the face.

[@prism1002]

did he got a legendary yet?

[@superlouis3333]

+Prism nope he didn't play for almost a week because of ATLC

[@UnknownXV]

+Louis-Philippe Daniel atlc?

[@TheYellowFD]

I am surprised with Trump's strategy against face hunters. You get rid of beasts and heal up as much as possible. Instead, he healed minions, drew cards and left beasts on the board. He lost.

[@vectorrtrance8766]

Did you just fight 2 hunter and 2 mages that happened to have the same deck? lol maybe they are the same person the world is tooo tiny....

[@TheSonicShoe]

ok I'm subscribed, so tell me Jens... *WHO IS THE MYSTERIOUS CHALLENGER??? TELL ME OR I'LL SUE YOU FOR FALSE ADVERTISING!!!*

[@UnicornGamingRX03]

Pay to win is too strong for FTP.

[@David-nh9hb]

10:07 can't you just mind control him? And use it to win?

[@David-nh9hb]

Trump could have win the game if he didn't attack the minion.

[@echaen1707]

1. Mind Controlling a minion doesn't give it the ability to attack that turn, unlike with Shadow Madness. 2. The Mage had Ice Block active, and so even if he had lethal on board Trump would not have been able to kill her.

[@David-nh9hb]

Oh looks like I wasn't being specific at all. 1. Instead of using 4 minions to kill 1 minions. You could have use mind control instead of using it on 1 minion. 2. If you use 1 mind control. You can use the rest of the minions to attack the hero. 3. And the more minions the better Trump has the advantages to kill enemy minions. 4. The enemy hero will have more minions to handle.

[@David-nh9hb]

5. It also gives Trump the ability to attack less damages to the hero. Making it more quickly to win the game.

[@aosxion]

+OverLordGalaxies As a priest you almost always want to heal yourself after Alex lands against Freeze Mage (FM). It is very easy for FMs to have 15 damage in hand as it only requires only 3 cards (1x Frost bolt 2x Ice Lance = 15, 2x Fireball + Frostbolt = 15). Do deal 17 damage FMs need to have a fourth burn card. In Trumps situation ind Controlling Alex therefore does nothing as the FM has lethal on you - you can pop the block that turn but will die the next. Trump had to heal himself to give him a chance not to be killed. In this case it didn't make any difference as the FM had drawn through his/her whole deck as Trump was not able to put on enough pressure.

[@OotoriKyouya]

Aggro is not everything? He hasn't played enough ladder this season to realize how wrong he is. Frodan reported that Kolento is frustrated with the ladder because it is basically 80% aggro.

[@HendrikGreaves]

Im constantly on the verge on giving up f2p hearthstone. Even to craft the cheapest semi-competitive decks i need to grind so fucking much with the shitty cards i have now, against people who have all the good stuff. Trump makes it look doable, but he's a sodding pro player with 2 years of experience over me.

[@PaschaChilla]

Face Hunter so skillful. I guess thats the Main Direction a good Card Game aims for, he ? such a Bad joke..

[@PedroMartins-lv1um]

So early

[@sebajankelevitch9219]

wow so early

[@Lewis1995]

I was genuinely getting annoyed myself watching those hunters play exactly the same

[@orangelike9732]

im early lol

[@MaeseEidos]

Rank 14 is the face barrier. Trump can't pass it because his face is to beautiful (?).

[@Skullhawk13]

Regardless of balance, freeze mage is just not fun to fight against, even if you win it's usually just because they didn't get the freeze they needed in time, so you just stomp them. but if you lose, it's because no matter how much board advantage you have, they can lock it in place and focus on bypassing any taunts with a ton of damage. It's just...bleh...Not fun and I'm not a fan.

[@nomyourface96]

Need taught bro.

[@bukucarateen4217]

When are people going to learn that rogue is the best class now. I mean shadowstep!!!??? c'mon....argent horserider, arcane golem + any other charge minions with cold blood??? is anyone getting this??? You can kill people by turn 4 if you get great draws and its consistent and its cheap...rogue will find its way eventually but its slow going

[@BeatsandBox]

F2P is awesome, no matter what - but you cant compare it to "P2W", because imo its the diversity which is fun and unfortunately only possible if you invest money (or play for a very long time). if you want to play all the meta decks at the same time, you have to buy cards, its the hard truth

[@Dzilla64]

I love dorks that pretend they are tough guys....

[@lZY8d70P-sTP]

Trump is not used to real hardcore rank 14 smorcs ^^

[@TheKosiek001]

[@biancogrigionero7614]

whit out Naxx or some good legendary i bet even trump stil trap in rank 14 / 15 forever.

[@diogomarques8869]

+WarIsWild OSRS new expansions came out

[@biancogrigionero7614]

before was possible but now, after the release of two exp and 2 adventure, meta is to far away from the begginer...also the league is changed, and rank 15 now is more hard then before. well, lets see..

[@None38389]

+Francesco Pirri I got to rank 5 last season on my F2P account using a zoo lock deck with no Naxx and no legendary. I don't know how well I can do with a priest deck though, but Trump is probably way better then me and have a lot more time to grind then I do.

[@LostTalent]

Face Hunter makes this game so dull.

[@flamingbagofcrisps9157]

Whenever you play against hunter, they should change all emotes to "go fuck yourself you skill less piece of cancerous shit".

[@spencerjames3551]

There is never a question of what the hunter will do. Turn 1- face. Turn 2- face. Turn 3-face.....

[@prism1002]

turn 4: Sorry, Sorry, Sorry face

[@ZanloAstron]

That's what happens when you make a cheap deck that can win a lot of games.

[@LostTalent]

ZanloAstron Yeah I understand that and I'm not even saying there's anything wrong with playing it. I get that not everyone can afford to make super legendary decks but, for me when there is a situation where it feels there is very little brain power required by the opponent it becomes dull, especially when you run into it a lot.

[@TriniGamesVI]

these scrubs can only get to rank 14 with these top tier decks while trump could get legend with them in a day

[@Ahmed4bh]

does trump knows that he has to pay to win in higher ranks

[@Ahmed4bh]

+MistaPhysh before not after these expansions. the golden age of f2p is long gone when these expansions have arrived

[@silvsilvsilv]

I really don't get why anyone would voluntarily play Freeze Mage. It just looks so boring to me!

[@killu2later]

you should play it, full control is usually fun. Also I don't judge until I play because I thought handlock was boring until I played it.

[@TheGreatRakatan]

+silvsilvsilv It's basically the scum that occupies the other extreme of face hunter. Face hunter doesn't let you play the game by ignoring your minions, Freeze mage doesn't let you play the game by making it impossible to retaliate every turn.

[@TheSquareOnes]

+silvsilvsilv I don't get why anyone would be playing any of these decks that we've had for over a year. Zoolock, face hunter, freeze mage, control warrior, combo druid... we get it, the cards work well together, can we maybe see something different? I'm actually getting some perverse enjoyment out of all the secret paladin netdeckers on the ladder, at least we haven't see that one played out a thousand times.

[@N170t]

27:13 that was such a terrible play. When he doesn't explain his thought process and just does something stupid like that, it gets really annoying.... Could've had a 4/5 leaving the opponent with an empty board but instead had a 4/5 against 3 massive enemy minions....

[@makd900]

It took me a while to see what you meant, but yeah I think he just didn't see that line of play.

[@ZanloAstron]

What could he have done?

[@makd900]

He could have slammed the golem into the Dr. Boom; shrinked the Sylvanas and stole it with shadow madness. Then he would run the Sylvanas into the Dr. Boom and steal an opponents minion. Then still summon the blademaster. This way he would have a 4-3 and a 3-2 against weaker minions. At least thats my best play. Dont know how erma gerd would clear the board.

[@N170t]

Assuming we're all talking about 27:07, slam golem into cleric, holy nova, shrink+madness slyvannas and run her into dr boom stealing a 4/3 shadow priest leaving the opponent with an empty board.

[@N170t]

nvm im an idiot

[@reaper4999]

combo wombo... the most annoying thing i have ever heard.... its wombo combo
