Yugioh Player Rates TOXIC Hearthstone Cards w/ Cimo

[@m05513]

Can't believe you only did the first half of why pen flinger was so toxic. Not only did you have to hear "Hey, Loser!" constantly, but every time they activated the return to hand, he'd go "It wasn't me!" and then you'd have to watch for the animation of him returning to hand. Once the pen flinger engine started, your opponent would rope every turn because they literally couldn't act fast enough to finish their turn and you had to listen to constant "Hey, Loser! Hey, Loser! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!" over and over again the entire time.

A thing that I always thought would be better and I got to confirm in this video, it is SO much better when you show the un nerfed version of the card FIRST, becaus the nerfed version is like "yeah, kinda cool, but too expensive to use" or something to that efect, but with the un nerfed they can realy feel how crazy the card was, and I'd imagine the other players wont feel so "cheated" out of being right, since they can't realy predict a nerfed card to have been good. Great content tho, always loved your videos, keep up the great work.

[@TheScaryreaper]

[@thomash341]

Yeah. They gave mage the most expensive secrets but it feels like they used the mana cost to justify losing their damn minds when designing the cards.

[@DavidSmith-cr7mb]

secret mage killed big shaman as well as several other big decks. its hard to play a big deck when you finally are ready to drop a minion in late-mid game, your opponent has already tutored both objections, generated two more, and after youve finally gotten rid of them all, your opponent generates a few more off norgannon lol! the types of gameplay I went through...

[@Alex-xn8zr]

3:43 While Glide was never played besides in Quest Demon Hunter), it was the THE card in Grandmaster Esports. Every pro just hoped or even prayed they didn't get glided on turn 4. So it's harsh to call the card bad, when it singlehandedly decided games.

[@alihorda]

When a card is only played in a single deck and in very specific situations, I wouldn't call it strong (in context of the whole game) . For example that cursed reno card was played in almost every single deck, even in non highlander decks because it was that good.

[@rajkanishu]

tournaments and ladder are also two very different environments with different metas and viable strategies, can't really be compared

[@Pr0x1m1f1c4710n]

@@alihorda Single deck under specific conditions is not a measure of card strength. You could easily have a card with 100% winrate when drawn in just a single specific deck. And that card is obviously busted, or the entire deck is busted and this is just the card that "wins" for that busted total deck. Now toxicity and impact is entirely different right. Like previously spoken of. Neutral cards that are great are far more toxic, because you meet them ALL THE TIME. Think stuff like baku/genn right, or reno. We don't really have many of the first, but it would be things like time-warp gate or whatever the extra turn spell was called, though I think they now nerfed it to once per game, or? Same for the dragon one. If those cards weren't "once per game" they are insanely toxic and broken as fuck, and unless the meta is too fast, they can just auto-win on drawn.

At 14:16 Cimo remembers back when Flame Juggler 50/50 killed 1 health 1 drops and Rarran "corrects" him with Knife Juggler who is more memorable but not the one that did these turn 2 RNG-based tempo spikes. Cimo is so uncannily on-point with a lot of his analysis are we sure he doesn't secretly play Hearthstone and isn't just messing with us?

[@somethingdifferentprobably]

He's played tons of limited and sealed format Yugioh the past 5 years, has played tons of retro Yugioh (2010 and before), and clearly dipped into HS and Magic a long, long time ago. He knows what's up.

Cimo’s comment about Immolate is so true. “Wish we could do that in YuGiOh” And it made me chuckle because yeah. When you read Immolate in Hearthstone brain the card is like whatever. When you read it in YuGiOh brain it’s like “heck yeah let me pull out my lighter and take care of this guy’s hand real fast.”

[@cardinal01]

Though problem with it is if your opponent is a stun player they will just set their whole hand and if not they will summon every handtrap on field under the sun😂

[@DavidSmith-cr7mb]

spaghetti code right? "its too rigged, we THINK its balanced enough though now?" eater of secrets vroken because "wish for the perfect card" code is touching him

[@estivalbloom]

I think the thing that was missing from the explanation of Objection is that since minions tend to be naturally more proactive than spells, your opponent is much more likely to play out their cheaper minions ahead of the objection compared to Counterspell, AND that same fact also means that Objection can lead to way more moments where it feels like you can't play the game. If a Counterspell is locking you out it's more likely to be preventing you from playing answers, and your opponent is killing you, whereas if an Objection is locking you out, you might just be sitting there feeling like you can't develop your own gameplan (though he kind of touches on the second half of that)

[@DavidSmith-cr7mb]

any and all decks that run a small pool of minions spevifically to help with tutoring, or any deck that runs big minions is just a 10 to 1 for secret mage too, they just have to put 2 plus 2 together and know they have to generate as many objections as possible.

[@jackmcgee4882]

Prosecutor meltranix wasn’t a “terrible” card, it actually saw fringe play in a lot of demon hunter decks during kotft and festival in more midrange decks like outcast DH

[@Houseleft]

Yeah not sure where he's coming from with that take. It was a power player in Relic DH and was a very good disruption tool in higher Legend that would functionally Time Warp in a lot of matchups. It's the type of card that feels like it sucks if you don't know how to use it, but against most control decks that would keep larger hands it could win the game on the spot if you played it on the correct turn.

[@Ceracio]

Really? I'm kinda surprised because I played a ton during that period, got incredibly annoyed at Demon Hunter because I hate that class and everything it represents, but I'm pretty sure I never saw a deck running Meltranix. Not saying that you're wrong, btw.

[@DaXurk]

you cant trust rarran on DH because every statement he makes is influenced by the pure undying rage behind his eyes

7:00 Time tearing morganite give's a extra normal summon and a extra draw for the rest of the game, but you can't use monster effects in hand anymore.

[@Kowsky2805]

I had an absolutely visceral reaction to the last card, just by pure instinct. Good fucking lord.

[@amethonys2798]

The most annoying part with Reno is the fact the player doesn't lose their board or get the restriction. They get to keep their 2 8/8 giants (just an example) and dome you for 16 and you now can't realistically taunt up so you just get 2 turn lethaled without any real way to interact with it.

[@MrParadux]

I think Objection is actually a fine card. The problem is that there were and still are tons of ways to generate more secrets which makes it impossible to play around. If your opponent only has up to two copies of Objection, you can deal with it, but if there are 6, you can't. The card itself is fine, the whole random generation around it is what makes it annoying and which also limits future design space for interesting secrets.

[@Tatercon]

Objection on its own was fine. The fact counterspell was ALSO played and you just had to 50/50 to lose the game was really stupid they should not have both been in standard at the same time.

[@Q_z_]

I had quit long ago when objection came out, but when I saw it's reveal I was immediately disgusted. Having watched content creators that played wild exclusively, I knew one of the biggest reasons why secret mage was a huge problem, aside from mana cheating, was having to test for both counterspell and explosive runes every single time a secret was played. The fact that counterspell and objection would be in the same pool, generating minions in your hand is way harder than spells, discovery was rampant, and that it wouldn't even let battlecries proc, I was just disappointed in Blizz's design team

[@lwyz8a]

Yep. The random generation was the problem. In wild we had secret mage running 2 copies of every good mage secret including this but no random generation and it was kinda annoying to dealt with but doable, and actually the most annoying secret was the one that draws 3 if they take no damage.

[@DavidSmith-cr7mb]

yeah, big decks died to objection, think about it.

[@Aether_Aurora]

exactly this, playing against two was annoying but fine, but some games mages would just not let you play the game by generating it over, and over and over and over again. I think the most I saw was 8 objections in a game

@@rajkanishu d5 through legend, sometime around darkmoon races. I was paying for hsreplay premium at the time.

[@jaeusa160]

The problem with stats is that the card by merely existing crashes its own winrate by deleting its "prey" from the meta because it's SO oppressive and unbeatable for anything that wasn't extremely fast at closing out games. Caverns Below got nerfed TWICE and Blizzard had posted saying their data had it around a 40% winrate. But Caverns Below was itself similarly oppressive. If you see it a lot on ladder, are you going to keep playing your midrange, control, or value deck? No. People make Rock Paper Scissors comparisons but those aren't accurate. It's more like if Rock has 60% WR vs Scissors and Scissors has 60% WR vs Paper, but then Paper has 98% WR vs Rock. Guess what people aren't gonna play? Rock. Because it's the only one with massively unwinnable matchups. Then it's just a Scissors vs Paper meta where Paper swaps out some cards and brings the ratio more like 52:48 than 60:40.

[@warptens5652]

you have to look at drawn winrate high played winrate means it's a card you play when you're ahead, low played winrate means it's a card you play when you're behind, it has nothing to do with wether the card is good

[@hteety]

@@warptens5652 Played winrate is useful in a few select cases, of which this is one of them. Specifically, played win rate often lets you know how strong of a win condition something is, particularly if it's a high cost, impact card. Basically, if your card is high mana, and the win con of the deck, seeing how often it wins when its played lets you know how often it actually pushes you to a win, or if that card is just another card in the deck. A 50% winrate when played stat on a card could indicate that it is a weak win con, and isn't a card that can change your standing on its own. A 50% win rate on Tickatus really just means that if you're winning the match up and play tickitus, you'll win. If you're already losing, Tickitus will not win you the game. A higher win rate when played would indicate that playing that card has significant impact, and if it's high cost, you might be able to infer that it is weak against cards that rush you down before you get a chance to play it. You're otherwise right that generally speaking, when drawn winrate is better when evaluating cards against each other in a vacuum, and on general principle. However, when played stats on high impact cards lets you know how much those cards actually swing your ability to win, or whether those cards are also just another "just a good card" card.

[@Transforsen]

I feel that pre-nerf Far Watch Post or Boomboss deserves a spot.

[@ph1lny3]

40:50 there was... in wild. You could play it as early as t3 with the coin thanks to bloodbloom, and you had drakkari enchanter to essentially cut the turn timer in half to win. It was actually a meta-viable deck in the format too before the changes.

[@amethonys2798]

The huge problem with Objection is that EVERY generated secret had to be tested for Objection. If the mage played a Secret, yeah it's PROBABLY Objection and you know to play around it. It's when you see that pink question mark and "Created by X" next to it and you now suddenly have to play around both Objection and Counterspell (especially in standard where there were only like 6 secrets or whatever in Nathria) and just have super suboptimal turns.

6:58 The third effect of Time-Tearing Morganite is a downside - for the rest of the game, you can’t activate monster effects in the hand, which shuts off 90% of hand traps and some strategies that rely on those in-hand effects to get their combo going. For anyone wondering.

[@stratagemmedley]

Really agree with the point about how discover/generation being what made Objection! so infuriating. It really wasnt good enough to maindeck, so there was no sense playing around it but it definitely would crop up due to random generation. I think any generation of spells can be tilting when your opponent gets the perfect answer out of nowhere but generating secrets, especially of another class, does so much psychic damage its unbelievable.

I was such a huge fan of Dew Process, because my favorite deck to play aside from heavy control is mill. For the briefest time, mill Druid was absolutely amazing! You’d run Renathal, Topior, Fye, and two Naga Giant, with the rest of your deck based around the Solar Eclipse + Dew Process combo and then a ton of nature spells to proc infinite 3/3 rush minions + heal + generate more spells.

If objection was just a spell that said “counter your opponent’s next minion”, it would still be good. The fact that it’s a secret means your opponent has to play around it even when you didn’t play it! It also enables mind games where you play a secret to force them to delay an important tempo turn and test for it, and then actually play objection on your next turn and force them to delay again.

In MTG counters start getting worse once you get more and more mana because you can just bait counters, but you also can just drop objection to block Odyn or something like that and just burn a whole turn or two for 3 mana

[@gryllodea]

I think it would be better to show the unnerfed versions of the cards when you ask people to evaluate the power level. Dew Process at 2 was crazy. P.S. Theotar was a 4 mana 3/3 initially.

[@Zetact_]

Cimo describing Morganite, "There's some third thing, I don't remember" when that third thing exclusively is the reason it isn't a staple.

[@baermane]

God rarran I can't get enough of the card game collabs. sick content lately

[@ChampionMarx]

"Light every card in your opponents hand on fire!" Damn this digital card game goes fucking hard

[@opshredderytp]

Reno is instantly a "This card should be erased from existence" tier for me.

[@d0ttxt]

Time Tearing Morganite has the INCREDIBLY harsh restriction of not being able to activate effects in the hand for the rest of the game, so it ends up in pretty much only stun.

[@rory9975]

I think he was right with "flame juggler" 2 mana 2/3 deal 1 dmg to a random enemy (I think). In that meta it would define games

[@ymeynot0405]

@Rarran I am a wild player who has costed on my Warrior Pirate Quest deck for over a year. I am too busy to build anything else, and I don't spend money so I can't optimize. That deck has given me Diamond 5 for 2 years, I am guessing. Reno destroying your quest reward is such bullshit. AND when they changed it to "start of game" it only made it worse as I had effecitively countered Reno with Wrenchcalibur, which I used multiple times. I loaded bombs into the deck to keep Reno from working and then they buffed it. Talk about going from Toxic to total rage baiting.

[@MrBigPauly1]

30:23 4 mana theothar is the reason I stopped playing HS I’m a bit of a one trick deck in wild. Le deck: Class: rogue 1) the legendary that makes you start as another class 2) the 5 mana 3/5 with rush that costs one less per card of another class that you’ve drawn 3) Sonya (whenever an allied minion dies ass a 1/1 1 mana copy to your hand) 4) combo payoffs: The 10 mana 10/10 lifesteal guy that deals 5 dmg and whenever an allied minion dies while this card is in your hand this battle cry does one more dmg The location: summon an x/x with stealth where x is the amount of cards that you’ve played this turn The 1/3 weapon: has +1 attack per card you played the turn this was summoned My opponent would just Theothar the Sonya or the 10/10 guy and it’s an instant lose, no counterplay

[@aresking4332]

Mentioned tickatus, my beloved Edit: if I remember this correctly, he was also in standard when they brought back death knight cards for a short time before the lich king expansion. So copy him, play multiples of him and when they die, resummon them with guldan. A beautiful combo that will not be missed lol

[@ahkoukyoussef]

Rarran I want you to know you're pretty much the only guy i watch in my hundred of subscribtions , Everyone else is abusing trends and clickbaits and it's not doing it for me , anyway keep up the good content you're a genius !

[@adamcimrmann]

14:30, he was talking about the actual Flame Juggler, 2 mana 2/3 that dealt 1 random dmg as battlecry

[@StriderYGO]

Let's fucking goooooooo, a Cimoooooooo (eight o's) collab

[@TheRamirez544]

The other combo id argue was worse was if you played that 4 mana card that drew a minion and reduced its cost by (8) if you had 8 or more cards in your hand, then played both copies of the (1) mana copy a minion in your hand spell and then played 3 free corrupted tickatus' on like turn 5 or 6 (perfect hand) was so good lol

[@Faoriter]

Man i remember loving mil druid and legendary warrior back when I played heartstone

[@Snickersnek]

Surprised you didn't mention the "Wasn't *me!*" trigger sound on Pen Flinger. "Hey, Loser!" "Wasn't me!" "Hey, Loser!" "Wasn't me!" "Hey, Loser!" "Wasn't me!" "Hey, Loser!" "Wasn't me!" "Hey, Loser!" "Wasn't me!"

[@allezxander1232]

Mr rarran thank you so much I would've starved to death literally today without this video, keep the expanded rarran universe content coming 🙏

[@miguelsilva7766]

Mel'tranix wasnt meta defining but she was included in some top tier decks when she was needed

[@ShrekHs]

In relic DH it could just end the game with the 3 mana relic that summoned shit

[@miguelsilva7766]

@@ShrekHs I remember that, I hated that shit so much

[@mariojakel5544]

Tickatus was the most Time played with a 1 cost card who says: copy the lowest cost demon in your hand(outcast give him +1/+1)

[@robertlupa8273]

[@jaeusa160]

Even that was overkill. The whole Warlock package made it work very well. Twisting Nether into 0 mana 6/6 Taunts. Play an undercosted 8/8 that might auto-win you the game just being played 1 time. and then play a 10/10, the 8/8 again, and the 6/6 Taunts again. And you're Warlock, you can chill with lategame combo cards in hand waiting for other pieces, and the rest of your deck can be a lot faster. It's why the entire meta was basically "Decks that could kill Warlock before turn 8" because nothing else was playable.

[@LikeAFemaleDog]

There's a weird cut around 0:29. You're talking about the expansion being faster then jump cuts to "the reason why DH is so powerful..." I know it's likely done to remove the filler of the conversation between the two of you, but it was jarring to the point where I- who is listening to the video on my 2nd monitor noticed it.

[@danielshamlian2800]

I really like how Hearthstone tends to play. The first time I got 1 to Reno'd, I stopped playing the anything but battlegrounds... I haven't picked it up since.

[@E3Zen]

In MTG, toxic is a keyword

[@amethonys2798]

I think cards like Immolate and such would be far more playable with say "Manathirst (4): Costs 2 instead." or something along those lines. The big issue with the disruptive cards is how much of a huge tempo loss a 4 mana do nothing is, but you can't have the cards ACTUALLY cost 2 due to immolating someone on turn 2 means they are probably never going to be able to dump the hand.

[@xbon1]

bros clarification: the third time tearing morganite effect is a RESTRICTION, not a doubling.

[@BattleFroad]

My idea for Prosecutor meltranix in ygo: normal trap, can only be activated during the main phase and cannot be chain 2 or higher. pay 2000LP choose 2 cards in your opponent’s hand, reveal them. These 2 cards must be activated or set if spell, set if trap, or normal/special summoned or set if monster before activating or setting any other card in their hand, deck, extra deck, or graveyard. Your opponent can pay 3000LP to negate this effect.
