This raises an interesting idea. Could Rarran expand these types of videos to be cardgame agnostic? As far as his talent as a host and content creator is concerned, I definitely see it as possible. Rarran can have comforable discussions with quests that have very different audience and understanding, and work as a bridge between them, Hearthstone and Rarrans own audience. The issue is that it would be very hard to build an audience that was card game agnostic. Even if Rarran has done content about so many card games, all of these videos are still for Hearthstone audience. The content can be roughly divided to two categories: evaluating Hearthstone cards and evaluating ”other games”. In both cases Rarran is the perspective of his audience. When quests bring cards from ”other games” for Rarran to evaluate, the quests often start the explanation from very minimal knowledge. Then, when discussing the cards, the video spends a lot of runtime on Rarran talking about comparisons and differences to Hearthstone. Usually when the quest explains the correct answer, Rarran will re-explain it in a way that is more familiar to Hearthstone. However when quests are asked to evaluate Hearthstone cards, they don’t do the reverse. Rarran gives the basic explanation of the game off-screen. And only briefly recaps it when necessary. If Rarran needs to give more context for quests it’s often cut. The quest don’t re-explain Rarrans correct answer in manner that makes sense to their own audience. Sometimes runtime is spend on a quick comparison to an iconic deck in some other game, or the quest saying ”oh, we have something kind of similar”. But that’s it. I also like to watch the quests video featuring Rarran, and often they kind of flip the script. They sometimes make a more notable effort to introduce the visitors from Rarrans audience to their game, but the perspective is still an introduction to their game, not Hearthstone. So: what would it mean for these videos to be card game agnostic? It is very hard to imagine it. Audience would necessarily need to be assumed to have some ”universal” knowledge. The perspectives of first time viewers and subcribers would also start to drift apart significantly. Over time, this would become a real obstacle for new viewers, or drag down the pasing of the videos for subcribers. One radical answer would be creating something like UML en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Modeling_Language for CCG’s, and making an effort to introduce new audience in it. UML is/was an attempt be a language agnostic representation of software. It was supposed to bridge the gap between java, C++, python and other object oriented languages. This way multi-language software could be designed and discussed by engineers that each only know one of the languages, but all know UML. In reality, this didn’t usually work. Each programming language has unique, better ways for doing the same thing, and the abstracted representation of UML fails to actually capture some key aspects of each language. The same would likely happen if one would try creating an UML for card games: sure, you could design a way to represent the unique aspects of each game through some abstract, shared consepts. But would the best Hearthstone deck in terms of that abstraction actually be any good? Probably not.

Even with the mic silenced, there's this pure-visual "what the fuck are you on about m8" when he hears a guest say something flat-out wrong, or the silent cackle as someone says a tier-zero gamewrecker would never see play (or vice-versa). Like I haven't played Hearthstone since pre-Demon Hunter, I don't know how balance looks, but I love seeing those hints as to how the other pros are doing.

MtG creators in this format: "Teehee voxy you're a weasel :)" Yugioh creators in this format: "I believe in racial purity."

Stranglethorn Heart saw tons of play in the last few expansions and sees play rn in Reno Hunter. Jive Insect has always been a niche card that is only really OK in the decks that it sees play in.

Today I learned about runic adornment

In both colabs, no one mentioned that with Jandice, if you get a really strong battlecry minion, you can choose it to die, but then shadowstep it.

This was the funniest and the most entertaining installment in the whole collab series

I think you missed one of the biggest reasons why soul mirror is better than repackage, which is that you can cast soul mirror while you have minions on the board without removing them, while also adding the strength of your opponents board to your own. You can then trade your minions more favourably into theirs, get past taunts for lethal damage, etc.

After playing Yu-Gi-Oh a lot recently it's really cool to notice how Nadir and Joseph think, as an example when they were considering tavish they thought that you choose the beast that you summon with his effect, and not that it's a random beast that costs 1 less from the deck.

@chompyzilla

Ай бұрын

As a Yugioh, player, that’s exactly what I thought. It’s a lot worse then. I was imagining summoning a beast with charge so that beast can immediately attack and trigger Tavish again.

Just throwin' my 2 cents in, but I think it's most satisfying to reveal the answer after each comparison than it is to hold out until the end!

Something else that got missed off Soul Mirror is how it interacts with rez effects. When Soul Mirror causes trades, it adds those minions to the priest's rez pool as well, because they also had those minions on board (however briefly). This often could gain priests running rez effects for value instead of a combo additional potential value by adding high impact minions from the opponent into the rez pool while also removing said high impact minion. And if that high impact was a deathrattle, it also had immediate payoff. That being said, Repackage has potential for exactly the reverse reasons. It cuts deathrattles, reborns, and rez hits for your opponent, but it also doesn't pollute the priest's rez pool with something that could be a big miss. Of course, comparing this card to Soul Mirror isn't quite right, because it's basically Psychic Scream with a tweaked end state. Psychic Scream was also a well played removal spell in priest, that also polluted your opponent's deck. Repackage is basically a strict downgrade because that pollution effect is downgraded by having it all in one card (though that card can be awkward to play if a big board went into it), instead of as individual cards that might screw up several draws instead of just one. This may be why Repackage sees less play, in that most decks that want it likely run Psychic Scream instead in Wild, and Standard currently doesn't have a meta conducive to that type of removal being needed in most matchups. I could see a Wild Reno style priest including Repackage along side Psychic Scream to effectively have the same effect twice, if that is the type of removal the deck needs, but otherwise it likely falls by the wayside in Wild. It might see play in standard if the game slows down a bit, and you don't die on turn 5 to aggro or get caught in a combo that had zero board the turn before it kills you.

Hi Rarran :) just an idea: It might be cool to have 1 final card/pair of cards to show participants that would be "worth double" that you show after you've explained the previous cards & counted all the points to act as a tie breaker. Could be a fun mind game to see how they evaluate the tie breaker card(s), considering all the next context they just recieved, could trip them up too lol Either way, great video, is always fun to watch your content!

This just came to my mind at the start of the video when MBT said "I got ...", but what if this versus format was like each player gets a card and has to decide between them if they want to trade it or not with the other and then who has the most better cards at the end wins, IDK just came to mind and I will finish the video now. Love these and love the channel!

Negates are huge in YGO. Infinite Impermanence and Effect Veiler both essentially read "Discard this card from your hand, Silence the opponent's monster" and the former is one of the most powerful cards in the game, and the latter was before Imperm powercrept it. A well-timed negate is a game-ender in YGO because they're reactive (you can do them on your opponent's turn).

please keep these guessing things coming, they're so good! I'd like to request telling them which is better as you go though, that's my favorite part of the video and I like it more when its sprinkled in rather that backloaded.

I really agree with Rarran when he said it's really interesting to see the different ways of thinking between YGO and MtG players The best I can describe it is that in YGO a card is near unplayable unless it gives immediate and consistent value, whereas in MtG the generally slower gameplay allows for more appreciation of value-based cards and along with the concept of curving out

YuGiOh was my card game years ago, now it's hearthstone, this collab was fantastic. I love card analysis' from other games content creators. You do it best Rarran.

Spoiler: My favorite part is when MBT and Farfa literally say. Oh there is some trollden video where you play a bunch of Jive insects in a single turn and kill the opponent. Describing the current use of Jive insects in nature shaman to a T where you play it on 3 of your minions after throwing 5 lightning bolts face dealing an extra 24 damage. Then after describing how Hearthstone currently exists they then picked the 8 mana Hunter spell, which doesn't say "summon king krush(s)" like it's supposed to be good. I was dying of laughter.

As a Yu-Gi-Oh player myself. I guess they were just hopeful that the built in searching made it good enough 🤷‍♀️

I feel like you've cracked the code on this style of video, rarran. The banter with this format is so good.

This is one of the funniest thing I have seen lately these two guys are hilarious when they're together

I’m so happy you got MBT on here. He’s my favorite Yugioh content creator and I’ve been hoping you guys would collab sometime

these two are extremely funny riffing off each other, i hope we get to see more of them featuringg in guest videos

You can go check out their individual channels/streams, all the big YGO personalities (primarily MBT, Cimo, and Farfa but a few others less frequently) basically spend as much time on each others' channels/streams as their own doing solo stuff.

This was great, hope you do more with both of them.

You guys have awesome chemistry during this video more please

Probably your funniest video, Joseph and Farfa were both hilarious

I never thought Id see these 3 on screen w/ each other but it makes so much sense

Omg I was laughing out loud so hard at the whole Rokara and Tavish bit.I didnt expect the video to be as funny as it was

This collab gives me Fuelled By Sandwiches vibes and I'm loving it lmao. Banter and chaos go hand in hand

Hey Rarran, been enjoying these video! I think it will be cool if you can show the other card game player animation/moment when card is played like colossal or yogg :)

Love these videos, thanks Rarran.🎉❤

One of the best things about Soul Mirror also was the fact you could rather easily Discover it from multiple sources. I remember that being super frustrating, with Priests getting to use this "one copy of a Legendary card" like 2-3 times, and sometimes even 4 or 5.

The vibes of these vids are perfect keep improving brother

I really liked when you said the results as the game was going and explaining why they're better. I think that makes it more enjoyable

I feel like you coulda explained better why Jive Insect was actually good, especially since Farfa brought up the whole creating a bunch of rags in one turn thing, and that's exactly why it was good with nature shaman. Woulda been funny to see him react to being exactly right about the card and then picking stranglethorn. Other than that great video as always, keep em coming :)

This is sickkkk one suggestion i might have is to keep a scoreboard going on the screen? (That the players can't see) It's hard to put together whos actually doing better and how to react to their confidence without that knowledge, so emotions are confused until we see your grand reveal 45 minutes in Great stuff though, love the energy

Commenting on my guesses as both a MtG and Yugioh player (haven't played Hearthstone since like the third expansion): 1. Malefic Rook - a 5/6 on turn seems nice. Plus, IIRC, warlock has stuff to reward being at low health? 2. Void Scripture - 2 mana to get effectively two cards, that are better than average (assuming this isn't going to be cast until turn 8)? Seems crazy good. 3. Jive Insect - Mainly because Stranglehorn Heart just doesn't seem good. 8 mana, but cycle 1 to revive a narrow range of good stuff? Cycle 1 is nice to offset it, but unless hunter decided to become priest in his free time, I can't imagine this ever being good. Like, I need big beasts to be out, and even then, I don't know if I cast this on 8? Why not replace this card with something that actually does something before you are dead. 4. Illuminate: Aquatic form looks like a trap. Yes its 0 mana, but its not like pot of duality, since its basically just putting it to the top of deck until maybe turn 5 or 6. Why do I want a dead card in my hand for the valuable early turns? Illuminate on the other hand, just seems broken in slow controlly decks. 5. Blackwater Behemoth: Stabilizes instantly, even if your opponent has a boardwipe, since you both heal and destroy an opponents monster. Meanwhile Colaque does nothing at first, and if your opponent has non-targeting non-damaging removal, or two pieces of removal, then tough luck, you didn't do anything. 6. Northshire Farmer - Now, see, this seems like a really good aggro card for the beast stuff. You play a 1 drop beast and a 2 drop beast, then play this, and blamo, you got 3 3/3s in your deck with maybe outsized effects because of it. Exactly what we want in our aggro decks 7. Tavish Stormpike - Seems crazy in the deck I described above. Start with a 1 drop beast and attack. Then play a 2 drop beast and attack. Then, on 3, drop this, attack with your two guys, and get a 1 drop. Opponent will struggle to stabilize. 8. High Exarch Yrel: I want my 8 drop to stabalize me, and she does that. Also, if I'm ahead, she can close out the game. Meanwhile, Ghun says "win the game if you are ahead, otherwise do nothing" I want my 8 drops to win me the game if I'm behind. 9. Jandice Borov: This card seems crazy. I get 2 random 5 drops, with the downside being that I choose one to "only" be good in for one minion attack? Like, your opponent needs to either lose 2 cheap minions to test my minions, or my "fake" 5 drop gets good value? Also, some 5 drops get good value without surviving (eg: Jandice herself). I would be shocked if she wasn't crazy good in standard. Plus, the other dude doesn't seem like he is doing anything for a while. So, I need the game to go to a few more turns after I summon him. But then, either I'm against an aggro deck, in which case I lost, or I'm against control, and hey, look, priest plays that big healy guy. And oh no, so sad, I lost my slow as fuck 5 drop. 10. Repackage - Both are board wipes, but soul mirror doesn't work against protection, and could trigger deathrattles too. And, sometimes it fails to remove, since the toughness could be higher than the attack. Welp, lets see how well I did. Edit: 7/10. Not terrible I suppose XD

Giggly Rarran feels like that one friend you go grab a beer with after a hard day's work, laugh about the dumbest random bullshit for an hour or two and go home feeling de-stressed after.

This was one of the best hearthstone videos I've ever seen. Please more content with the dudes

love these vid great to listen to while working as audio book like vids

I’m so mad about how the Colossal minions are displayed on screen, my beans are so steamed dude, you did that on purpose!!! 😂

Having neither of the two guests in the thumbnail when they are both this huge in the ygo sphere feels like an unusual miss for rarran

having more than 2 people in a thumbnail is actually bad for clickrates, statistically.

13:54 theres mark, he still does the Combo videos

This was absolutely hilarious on at least 4 levels xD Loved it !

Haven't played hearthstone in ages but had a lot of fun remembering old keywords. So many funny cards.

This vid was absolutely unhinged, love it.

Fucking hilarious video. Love all your collabs but this felt next level.

MBT seems to be assuming there is a lot more silence effects than I remember from when I played Hearthstone (haven't played in years).

Honestly, it might be his yugioh mind. The equivalent of silence in yugioh is one of the best effects in the game.

As soon as I saw both these guys in a call already knew it was gonna be a banger 😂

Love how no matter the card game these colabs end up being extremely chaotic
