that time the best deck in hearthstone was just random cards

A random video about a deck with random cards which randomly changed to a video about how random control priest is all done by some random. Truly one of the best hearthstones videos of all time

My favourite quote is back when hearthstone was at peak, an mtg tournament had two players ask if they could play a game of hearthstone to settle a draw. The judge said to them "rule 17.3, an mtg game cannot be decided by a random outcome"

I was halfway through this video thinking "huh, I remember Spell Mage! I didn't think Deck of Lunacy was *that* big a deal in that though, Spring Water was the real MVP and I swear there was debate over even Deck...". Then the twist hit. Bravo.
I swear the main issue of the deck was palm reading. Mass mana cheating is always an issue and those loops are mostly caused due to being able to play spells for free. Same for miracle rogue, same for every instance of 0 mana minion spam.

Hi there, Hearthstone esports player here. This meta was rat shit, it started as just “did you draw lunacy and/or flow” not to mention 4 mana refreshing ffs. Also the meme that nagrand was a 7 mana mage card was very much reality. The fact that eventually both flow and lunacy were nerfed to double the cost and refreshing got a mana increase really just demonstrates how completely absurd this clown fiesta of a deck was. It just obliterated the integrity of the game, and almost made people happy to see control priest take over. Almost. I kid you not, collegiate playoffs of this meta included a control priest mirror that lasted over an hour. It was so mind-numbingly soul crushing I started playing Clone Hero during it. Sethekk was dumb, Renew was dumb, deck trackers had a million cards created by other cards on them, it was a painful experience. I’m glad someone is talking about it. Oh yeah, pre-nerf Illucia can die in hell

I remember talking to a pro from my country in a stream where he was playing rogue vs shaman in a night at karazam, he needed to clear the board and i told hime "swashbuglar into storm, or portal" and he get the lighting storm and far from happy he was like "i remember when winning was about being a good player and not pulling a lighting storm out of my ass"
exquisite video dog man, very helpful for me because i don't remember what i ate last night much less what was the meta like two years ago

hey man this is the first time i've seen one of your videos and it was really good. I stopped watching other hearthstone content much because I was just sorta getting bored of it but this video held my interest very well. Taking a historical look at things is a good angle rather than just uploading gameplay.

I can't have hard feelings about Priest. That deck was my last love in Hearthstone before United in Stormwind stole my soul and I quit by the time Nathria came out. It was the last ever successful "No win con, just outvalue your opponent" deck, and that was my favourite way to play.

Priest being the worst class without an identity is not even the worst part. The worst part is Blizz trying to make every class play like priest, it already happened to mage, and I can see it happening to DH and Rogue next expansion.
