I was pleasantly surprised to hear Kibler pronounce Taldaram's name correctly
More than one match in a video from Kibler is always a treat
More like elemental value draw mage
More like just Elemental Value. The draw part is just so you can call it several things
This is easily one of the most satisfying decks I’ve ever played tbh. Glad someone’s showing it some love
I'm loving the minion based elemental mage decks that were popular today. Arugal, Book of Spectres and the Elemental package are just too awesome to not be a tier one deck.
If you're getting bored of the standard lists, there is a bit of wiggling room in which you can fit in Twilight Drake and Mountain Giant, plus Sunfury Protector to give the deck a bit more punch throughout the game. With the amount of cards you draw, it's not unreasonable to have a Mountain Giant out on turn three or four.
It looks fun, but I'm missing all of the legendaries except toki. I'm playing the vex crow tempo mage at the moment with the secret package and aluneth, and it's playing pretty well! Only the vex crows are from the new expansion, though
I've gotten absolutely wrecked by the mountain giant variant yesterday. Was trying out spell shaman with non-exodia Shudderwock.
Joey Sung, Toki is not required at all and Pyros can easily be replaced by another elemental. This deck is getting rekt by aggro though.
Shakrom the reason this deck never was good is aggro. It's still fun and decent so you will have over a 50% win rate.
I've dubbed this deck concede mage as my odd paladin is 6-0 against it right now. Does it beat cube or shudder? If not I don't really see the viability.
Had to be one of my favourite Kibbler moment's "Ah *oh dear* "
Kibler have you tried the hunter deck dragons in the swamp it is oddly powerful & I have been able to climb ladder similarly to spell hunter.
This is the first time i’ve ever seen a fully upgraded ruby spell stone on ladder
Kibler’s laugh is so good to Hear ahahah
Finally an original Hunter who's not smorc. Nice deck man, for real.
12:34 - "He can defile me... But I don't care 'bout it." - Kibler 2018.
Opened Frost Lich last week and Arugal/Toki (Golden) this week. May have to give this deck a try.
I love this expansion! Rush warrior is my new favorite deck and Darius smashes face so hard if unanswered haha
When is someone finally putting the quest into the deck?
Why take voodoo in mage when you have poly for stuff like cubelock?
I love your choice of music!! :)
Kibler when you draw the scroll of wonders with book of specters the scroll works normally =D
In hindsight, do you think Fireball is needed main deck? Im trying a variant using Dragons Fury to help against pally and hunter.
I don't know why elementals make me so enthusiastic
Anyone know how Arugal and Frozen Clone interact?
IGCSE Music piece struck me out of no where to remind me that I still have Music homework :(
I replaced Toki for Leeroy, it's more constant and people often don't expect the burst, plus the 1/1 whelps are good Frost Lich targets :)
holy mother of value this deck
I have a Gen version of this deck with Sindragosa, The Darkness, and Marin the Fox. Its obviously not competitive but insanely fun to play and currently has about a 60% winrate since the meta is still fresh. God I love this time of year its the only time meme decks are viable.
New Micro? Sounds different. Not sure if good or not but different :o
I already loved elemental mage deck, but this one is even better!
This is one of my favorite decks ive played
love the soundtrack where can i get it :D
I wonder what will be his reaction when he get's combo'd by that shaman deck
i love the choice of music - it maches realy well
it also always gives your videos unique style, wich i really like too :3
This deck looks super fun to play. I would probably craft archmage instead of Jaina if I’m low on dust right?
Will Sheridan
Jaina is a very powerful card in any slow Mage deck, so I would wait a few days to see how Arugal ends up performing.
David McDarby plays Hearthstone! Cool. Ever play him @Brian Kibler?
I got Shudderwock as the free legendary and 2 Sandbinders in the first 5 packs as well.
I refuse to play that deck.
got glinda as free legendary and godfrey in my 5th pack
i HATE warlock #trollstone
play your own version. use creativity. sheesh
XzBionicRamZx yes but the sandbinder is only used to fish the grumble so that’s the only deck that you could interpret from his comment
Know your enemy.
Know yourself
How can i replace Arugal?
How viable is this deck? I'm tempted to craft the deck because I love elementals and mage since the beginning
It's my impression or those couple of days there are a lot of hunters around?
Brian, do you enjoy classical music regularly or is it a editor / video identity thing?
Ramr0d23 I think he does but i thought his gf decides on the music
Classical Music does not have copyrights. So it's a clever option as well.
Any thoughts on a replacement for Toki? And would everyone say Book of Specters is a safe craft?
proto594 toki is just for memes. Any good elemental like steam surger can replace her. Book of spectres is definitely one of the best cards from this expansion but it's utility is limited to minion heavy decks like mech or elemental mage. If you want to play those decks craft it
The only safe crafts are neutrals. As for class cards to craft, Shudderwock is great so you can't go wrong with it. If it gets nerfed, just get dust back.
I was playing my own variation of this deck and I got kelthuzad off of time tinker while i had pyros on board, and got infinite value. And then leyline happened and stole my heart
14:42 Is that a child's scream there??
“He can defile me, I don’t really care”
Wow this deck looks like so much fun! I think this is one of the better meta’s in a long time... just for the shear madness of things going on in games right now! Haha!!
Not gonna lie...I watch Kibler for the music.
First opponent had a cool deck. Unsure if good, but cool.
Second opponent kind of misplayed.
Third opponent, cube lock variant, may he die by Hellfire. Although they might have some new sweet toys to use, I haven't even looked at the new cards.
yeah that first opponent i liked the idea of it i just felt like he ran out of gas fast.
Yeah, the concept was nice. He lacked the card draw to make it viable I think. He sat on less than 5 cards basically the entire time, and at the end, he sat on 1-2 cards the entire time. Still, even assuming he had card draw which I'm unsure how he could get the card draw efficiently. Coldlight Oracle went bye bye, so he can't rely on that. I even thought about Fight Promoter, but that one was part of Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, so that one also went bye. Even then, it required control of a minion with 6 or more health which seems a bit difficult.
Honestly, Hunter has terrible options for card draw in standard now. If you want to spend 5 mana on a 3/2 Starving Buzzard I guess that works, but that's assuming you have beasts to play as well. I might've missed a new card that helps with this though, but just judging from what I've seen, that's my conclusion.
Cottidae To be honest, this was his first TWW opponent on stream, so it's still alright
Cottidae just between you and me, the clock work 5 mana 4/4 that velens you’re hero power to deal 6 damage and heal for 12 is preeeeeety good
Angry Squid I am unsure exactly what you're talking about. I don't want to say something stupid due to not fully understanding. I get what you mean regarding the 4/4 and the effects, but not sure which scenario you're referring to.
This deck has tempo, value, good draw, discount, healing. Oh my! 😂
I dont know if its a meme but the archmages name does not refere to arugula, so thats not how you pronounce his name^^
how do you get this free arena run?
Yeah I was wondering the same...
The free arena you got if you had an arena open when the arena reset.
He tried to have the have cards that went wild in Mammoth in the year of the raven
Almost any time there is a major update to the game they reset everyone's arena run so that old decks can't exist. It makes sense to always have an arena run go as many wins as you can before getting two loses so you can get the most rewards along with a free run.
PromisedPatron that's rather new actually. Started with frozen throne or so, because people were still sitting on decks which they had for literal years
Thanks kibler your version is fantastic!#roadtolegend
Great vids kib keep up the good work
Love the new expansion
Matts nj why? All of the new cards are boring and slow af, I’d say this may be one of the worst expansions yet in terms of card effects and interactions
Well sorry sun if we like slow gameplay compared to not thinking and playing aggro :)
Sun Tzu *skilless aggro player detected*
Jabberwock is disgusting I hate constantly seeing people play that op deck
I agree man! Im loving this expansion too... seems like these decks are crazy wild, and more than just what the old stale meta was! Out with the old, in with the new.. kiblers un-refined elemental minion deck, just smashed a 4-month refined top tier deck from the previous meta... so thats saying something!
I don't know if its made yet but if you have blackwald pixie x2 and clockwork automoton x2 and baku the mooneater if played right you can kill the oppent with a 12 damage hero power 3 times to make it 36 damage
UnquietHD One mana too much
yea I figured that out after I made it I need two coins
but 24 damage is still a lot
Good luck keeping the automaton alive.
Thing with Pixie is that it's a worse Nightshade, the 4/4 for 5 that deals damage on entry. That's not a bad card in this deck, but that's all pixie really is, except you can't play it properly until at least turn 7.
You could have Blaze Callered the Hydra for more BM!
I knew you would play this Arugal elemental deck, it's too interesting not to play
Goodbye cube lock you will not be missed.
My first legendary was the new Aviana..
Not even kidding.
same here, feel your pain but then i got the hunter 10 cost dragon from packs..... bleh
It was my only legendary from 38 packs but I decided I'd try it out and it's really quite fun to play
My dad got that one too. He was like, "Is this good?" And I was like, "It's literally the worst."
Got the warrior building for the free legendary and got aviana in my 10 packs, dustwood living up to its name
11:07 nice three damage hero power
Hey Brian, please make a video about your top 5 legendary cards in the new expqnsion! I was wondering which one to craft. :D
Icko
1 Shudderwock
2 Shudderwock
3 Shudderwock
4 Shudderwock
5 Shudderwock
I think shudderwock is a safe craft since it's likely to get nerfed soon.
Not necessarily, they might change Saronite/Dopplegangster so that they don't summon additional Shudderwocks when their battlecries are triggered by Shudderwock (just summon Saronite/Dopplegangsters with the same stats instead).
Haifeng Yang what would you change shudderwock to? It’s more likely they change the wording on saronite to something like: summon a saronite chain gang with the same buffs as this
lmao a nerf wouldn't be for several months.
2 SMORCs shown their way is a 3 step plan with only 2 steps planned and 1 Cubelock made to look dumb.
Seeing cubelocks lose puts a smile to my face. :)
Elemental Value Mage? Probably be elemental mage once it gets refined
Anyone else think the Witchwood jingle is the weakest of them all?
headbite alien have to disagree. Its my favorite
Kimi Shimmi You can't beat Journey to Ungoro
I like the SPOOK vibe
Alright
I really like the harmonized parts towards the end, they sound great.
Welp, now I'm considering disenchanting my Golden Dragon Soul to craft a Death Knight now :'^)
Baku Hunter seems really underwhelming since there is spellstone and traps are 2 mana cards, it doesn't seem like a hero power you MIGHT use every other turn for only 1 more damage makes up for the loss of traps and other even number synergies. He got max heal off that spellstone, but yeah the loss of some quick healing has done some damage to most classes. Also Silver Sword is the most busted thing I have seen, easy to get a board and can beef up everything super easily
Emeriss with king krush in hand makes a 16/16 with charge
Have fun losing to actual decks.
Sweaty Woman i dont what made you have a bad bone but why you gotta throw it on me. I had 3 games with it and lost 27. Then i made shudderwock out of spite
Hey I'm just joking, not being mean
Sweaty Woman "yeah haha ok"
Wait, if Natalie was in the hospital then who edited this?
0:09 I wiiiiiiiiiiiiiill
odd dragon hunter seemed wonky...id rather not restrict it
Free arena run. Must be nice
It is cool to see elementals developing into some more interesting decks. Say what you will about this meta (its gonna be a shit show), but having the Kraken cards rotated out is just making the game so much more fun.
OMG Black Hair Kibler :O
Lol got right Taldaram
With this deck, I lost 12 games out of 15 played in a row. Not saying it necessarily is bad, but it really didn't work in my meta pocket. Also, I don't usually ragequit hearthstone, but today I made an exception.
Starts video just saying hunter. And I'm sitting there like. What do you want?
glad to see im not the only one having problems with too many cards playing this deck XD. The deck just has an exagerated amount of card generation lol
Voodoo Mage 😂😂
welcome to the new cancer meta which is odd hunter, aggro paladin and shudderwock otk
I expected more Arugal
Ty for not playing shaman
Here's the deck code for this deck: AAECAf0EBMrBApvTAs/vAsz0Ag1NiwOswgLrwgLCwwLKwwLHxwLIxwKW0wLN6wLO7wK38QLO8gIA
Maybe it's just my rng, but I've played against Dragon Hunter 4 of my last 6 games :-/
that jacket...
Got Emeriss for free and Hagatha was the only legendary on 34 packs, terrble luck
I'm a Rabbit.
Cool
I like rabbits
Rabbit Rabbitsson i will Voodoo doll u 😂
1 mana 17dmg seemsgood :D
Budget Chromagas
Poor hunter...no cards left in his hand after turn 8. Mage is just way better atm..
Deck list?
NickNoah minekill on the screen
Face hunters being outraced by elemental mage. Poor hunter won't ever be good (without cheese w barnes)
How dare you say the Shire is the best shire, for one shire as in Yorkshire is pronounced sher; but The Shire is the best shire.
Im i the only one only maching against battlecry shaman
I wonder when people will realize Baku Hunter is bad.
I've been telling people it's trash.
I wonder when people will realize lists don't really settle until a little while in to a format. Besides, I just went on a single streak from rank 12 to rank 7, one win away from 6. It's far from trash.
TheAcad3mic Going on a streak in the first few days of the expansion means nothing, nobody is playing an optimized deck yet. That isn't evidence of anything. I've gone from rank 18 to 5+ at the start of some expansions, means nothing.
How bad, when face hunter has always only needed 3 Mana beast summons + kill command + hero power to deal 18+ damage. Then any assortment of quick minions can deal the remaining 12
Ed Z And the only benefit is a single point of damage on your hero power. Regular mid range Hunter has more tools and consistency. A better deck will come forward.
👍
Sure is great never having to put any more money into Hearthstone, and just watch streamers build the meta decks for free.
I just played against this and got destroyed 😂
Whoo
😎
Hail Hydra xD
fedora
and arugala did nothing.
