See, part of me hopes he does a jeopardy-esque thing with this series. Have multiple people on, present a card, then the first one to "buzz" in gets to decide if it's real or fake and why in the case of the latter.
There was a gameshow called Streamer Showdown, that had segments like that, finding errors in cards, trivia, identifying cards by a part of their image, etc. It even had the game designer Ben Brode in a few episodes, and it's pretty impressive how well he knew the game.
As someone who's been playing HS since closed beta and who started following Kripp around Naxx or GvG, hearing him tell all of these old war stories makes me incredibly nostalgic. Good times indeed.
14:18 this weapon was a pretty powerful card in odd Paladin, the extra recruits, divine shield and attack boost you could get from this were quite powerful.
Love the series (and Kripp lmao) Rarran I started watching you around forged in the barrens and remember you uploading a video where you just weren’t happy with the game and feeling some burnout. A year later you’re putting out the best non gameplay related hearthstone content! Keep it up man
8:38 LOL. I really like this content dude, i am a fan of Kripp. Unfortunately I don't like to play battlegrounds so I rarely watch the man anymore. Cheers to both of you!
I highly enjoy how well you guys play off one another, kripps dry sense of humor but highly analytical mind works so well when combined with your analytical skills, creative mind and light-hearted humor. Kuddos.
Love this series of videos. I forgot that the mega-windfury elemental was ever in BGs. I kinda remember it coming in, being stupid broken, people complaining and it swiftly got removed
I started watching because of the mercenaries videos cause i wanted to try mercs at the time. Since then you exploded into a great fun and unique hs UA-camr with creative ideas who brings the hs community together. Your views exploded as well, shows everything can be turned into sth interesting with creativity! Keep it up man, you re doing awesome, hope you re also having fun!!
11:05 I feel like this about Legends of Runeterra, I’ve been playing league for about 10 years at this point and can’t stand it anymore. But when I’m playing LOR and I throw down a Swain and says something like “KNEEL BEFORE NOXUS” my inner child jumps up in excitement.
They kept saying Junkbot was from gadgetzan, but I was so sure that it was from goblins vs gnomes, since I tried my best to make it work but the card just wasn't very good. They even played the GvG trailer. I looked it up and he is from GvG, not gadgetzan.
13:36 so it should be obvious from that art that it’s a minion, and Krip instantly calls it a weapon, he knows maul it’s a strong card but has the minion border and not the dark weapon border
i played very little hearthstone and exclusively free to play and i got some cards before kripp, though i write that down to a notable difference in enthusiasm and him being generally a pretty slow paced person.
18:58 I was rewatching the video while I was playing hearthstone myself. I just unpacked Splitting Spacerock and I witnessed the huge powercreep we got today :/
Kripp used to be among the most hardcore of gamers in his day. This man was nuts. He was one of the best hunters of WotLK, was member of one of the best guilds, and was also one of the two people that managed to beat Diablo 3's Heroic Inferno pre-nerf (that other person was his own buddy). It's barely any surprise that those talents carried over to his Hearthstone career
God I would've loved to see Kripp's face when you said "Yeah, for sure dude" That split second of thinking he was right before you snatch it away from him would've been golden to see
when i started watching your content it was a video about how hearthstone wasn't fun anymore and I didn't like that you were making a popular video with a negative outlook on the game. But as I've watched more of your content I've found you to be a very entertaining guy and I appreciate all the attention that you're bringing in to the game. So thanks!
aww when kripp said ''in arena you wouldn't really encounter any legendaries'' now every deck I face has like 2 legendaries drafted on top of discoveries lul
to answer Kripp's question about why Whirlwind Tempest was removed, a dev on Battlegrounds said that it was almost entirely due to Al'Akir completely breaking it.
08:40 I had a really good warrior deck which played this and that one guy which exchanges decks w/ your opponent (Togwaggle, I think?) and that one 6 mana guy that destroys all 1-mana cards in your opponents' deck. I remember doing pretty well w/ it.
That first elemental. I knew the art and new it was 4 mana and 4/4 or something like that. Didn't even read the text. So, i was right it was wrong, but for a different reason. I guess some participants would have better results if they would just say right or wrong without explaining. But it is more fun to watch their train of thought :)
What would be really sneaky is to take a famous card with iconic text, then show a previous version of it that was changed that no one knows about, so they recognize the card, see the text is wrong, say its fake, but its actually real.
10:53 thank u Kripp the amount of times I play arena and discover a beast and see north see kraken with killer stats and effect for cost makes me happy without u we could never discover this op card
As a non-Hearthstone I thought that Deadly Arsenal was fake because it looked like Pathfinder RPG art. Instead it's artwork by Wayne Reynolds the guy who did the artwork for the first 12 Pathfinder RPG books cover art.
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you enjoyed!
Please make one with dane
I wanna see one with leeacer, I know it probably won't happen but I want it
0:08 0@@nathaniel817
Love seeing you creating content with krip. its awesome!!!
Kripp's rant about north sea kraken and icehowl at 9:30 is the greatest thing I have ever heard thank you for including the entire 1.5 minuets of it.
Glad someone agrees that trolls are cool. Favorite race in wow by a landslide
*North Sea Kreyken
Now there's a bunch of undead that aren't undead...
@@Sharphe nah. both tauren and dwarves are plain superior!
@@ImAnBoosterBaby need dwarves on horde. Troll dwarf combo
Kripp said so much about that maul without even realizing it's in a minion frame instead of a weapon one lmao
to be fair weapons have frames now dont they, so we are used to them
Well its not outside the realm of possibility in warcraft to have a sentient weapon, but yeah it would have to be named differently.
@@otrof6203 weapons always had unique frames, the old frames just made it harder to tell what class it was from
@@mutedknght you know what i meant...
Yeah, and neither of them corrected Krip when he said that its a Gatgezan card.
See, part of me hopes he does a jeopardy-esque thing with this series. Have multiple people on, present a card, then the first one to "buzz" in gets to decide if it's real or fake and why in the case of the latter.
Perhaps just having it be "What is fake" and make it more obscure with the higher points.
There was a gameshow called Streamer Showdown, that had segments like that, finding errors in cards, trivia, identifying cards by a part of their image, etc. It even had the game designer Ben Brode in a few episodes, and it's pretty impressive how well he knew the game.
Thats an amazing idea
He did some "Hearthstone Jeoparino" with Amaz and Noxious way back in the day. Even had Ben Brode on several occasions
@@Brenosakaguti The one they did with Toast was my favourite
Kripp getting triggered by the beast tag and going on a vegan lore rant had me rolling and took me back man, awesome guest for an awesome series
You have my like for the vegan part
He probably remembers Junkbot at 4 mana because at the time, Mechwarper was a must in every mech deck. That reduced the cost of all your mechs by (1)
nah I think it's because Junkbot was a tavern 4 minion, also 4 mana sounds reasonable for its stats and effect.
@@toyuyn True! that could also definitely be a reason too
@@toyuyn he was also a tier 5 minion in BG tho!
nah, no one put that card in mechmage
@@isaakward4393 he was buffed to tier 4 before getting removed
As someone who's been playing HS since closed beta and who started following Kripp around Naxx or GvG, hearing him tell all of these old war stories makes me incredibly nostalgic. Good times indeed.
Same :)
Yup, I keep coming back to this episode for this very reason
I miss old hearthstone and old kripp...
Same boat man
Hearing Kripp saying “North Sea Kray-ken” brings back some memories
I was hoping Rarran would call him out on that pronunciation, but then I remembered they're both Canadian...
@@Danny-no7jp actually Kripp is Romanian but he moved to Canada a while ago. So yeah, you're technically right
@@bogdanvoicu2297 iirc his family moved to Canada when he was fairly young, no? Though I guess he's moved back "a while ago" from Greece.
So why does he say "Krey-ken"?
Hurthstone
14:18 this weapon was a pretty powerful card in odd Paladin, the extra recruits, divine shield and attack boost you could get from this were quite powerful.
or you got taunt and lost the game
Love the series (and Kripp lmao)
Rarran I started watching you around forged in the barrens and remember you uploading a video where you just weren’t happy with the game and feeling some burnout. A year later you’re putting out the best non gameplay related hearthstone content! Keep it up man
I remember watching Rarran gameplay in mid 2021 with Miracle C'thun priest
Love this series, love kripp perfect video incoming
We need more krip! He’s so detailed in his analysis
"the fact that icehowl was a beast and that I was a beast at the game" lmaooo
8:38 LOL. I really like this content dude, i am a fan of Kripp. Unfortunately I don't like to play battlegrounds so I rarely watch the man anymore. Cheers to both of you!
I highly enjoy how well you guys play off one another, kripps dry sense of humor but highly analytical mind works so well when combined with your analytical skills, creative mind and light-hearted humor. Kuddos.
holy god the dynamic between these two is so good such good back and forth
13:36
The weapon had health and attack like a regular minion
Oh god I haven't heard Kripp say Kray-ken in so long, it's still just as painful
Well, it is a Hurtstone card
yeah, imagine someone having a different accent than you, so painful!
@@ecMonify I love Kripp, it was meant in the most light hearted way possible. He himself makes jokes about mispronouncing stuff, calm down
I can't believe all these crazy cards Hurtstone's printing. First the bom-b-er, then the kray-ken.
5:05 good old edwin van leaf
I think this is my favorite episode, the Kripp storytelling is just pure nostalgic 🥰
4:33 LOL. Other videos he's like I won't change up the art on you guys.
But Kripp, he'll change the art on Kripp. Hahaha. My man's out for blood.
Love this series of videos. I forgot that the mega-windfury elemental was ever in BGs. I kinda remember it coming in, being stupid broken, people complaining and it swiftly got removed
I started watching because of the mercenaries videos cause i wanted to try mercs at the time. Since then you exploded into a great fun and unique hs UA-camr with creative ideas who brings the hs community together. Your views exploded as well, shows everything can be turned into sth interesting with creativity! Keep it up man, you re doing awesome, hope you re also having fun!!
Kripparian: Single handedly taking down the guild Exodus by refusing to bring Kaywarrior to his Diablo 3 team. Such a good guy, much love to Kripp.
11:05 I feel like this about Legends of Runeterra, I’ve been playing league for about 10 years at this point and can’t stand it anymore. But when I’m playing LOR and I throw down a Swain and says something like “KNEEL BEFORE NOXUS” my inner child jumps up in excitement.
Kripp is a fun guest. I like how gleeful you are regardless if he's nailing it or missing something obvious.
It's awesome how you can see that Rarran is a fan of the people he have on his show
Hahah it's really fun watching you and Kripp nerd out over obscure cards. I'm glad that he had a ton of fun as well!
9:34 ah it's been a long time since i heard Kray-ken. Thanks for this!
I love playing along with the guests and saying the reasoning at the same time as them. Love this video series!
Just keep bringing in Kripp, he's great
They kept saying Junkbot was from gadgetzan, but I was so sure that it was from goblins vs gnomes, since I tried my best to make it work but the card just wasn't very good. They even played the GvG trailer.
I looked it up and he is from GvG, not gadgetzan.
13:36 so it should be obvious from that art that it’s a minion, and Krip instantly calls it a weapon, he knows maul it’s a strong card but has the minion border and not the dark weapon border
Kripp's intense obsessive energy is so much more charismatic in these videos than his reputation suggests
You know you’ve played too much hearthstone when you get everything before Kripp does 😅
i played very little hearthstone and exclusively free to play and i got some cards before kripp, though i write that down to a notable difference in enthusiasm and him being generally a pretty slow paced person.
Time to go binge some Kripp 12 win runs from back in the day.
In addition to your regular high a quality video, thanks for editing in clips of the couple Hearthstone and WoW tangents! I really enjoyed that
I can't believe no one noted how similar you two look.
Superb episode 🎉🎉 I just love Kripp❤
This has turned into my favorite series in your Channel keep it up!!!
Thanks for bringing in Kripp again. Legendary on his own!
I can't believe yall just kept saying Gadgetzan when you REALLY meant Goblins vs Gnomes, and that made it past the cutting room floor...
2:30 what does it say about me that I knew it was Finley immediately, despite nit playing for years, and it just being their crotch?
Oh, I love how you used my video of Icehowl. Such honor.
It is very funny since that video shows a bug we had on our private server back in the day :D
Always be sure that Kripparrian out of most streamers should be just the best.
The rant and background story about the beast type is so interesting and relatable!
This is the best hearthstone content on UA-cam to be honest.
Man this video made me miss kripp HS vids, battlegrounds just isn't the same imo!
idk why but i just enjoy videos with kripp in them
I loved hearing kripp talk about the history of the beasts like icehowl, was awesome.
18:58 I was rewatching the video while I was playing hearthstone myself. I just unpacked Splitting Spacerock and I witnessed the huge powercreep we got today :/
11:36 think thats honestly the reason hearthstone has survived so long, the connection to the warcraft IP.
Kripp used to be among the most hardcore of gamers in his day. This man was nuts. He was one of the best hunters of WotLK, was member of one of the best guilds, and was also one of the two people that managed to beat Diablo 3's Heroic Inferno pre-nerf (that other person was his own buddy). It's barely any surprise that those talents carried over to his Hearthstone career
Haha, he's actually not that great at battlegrounds. He's not bad, but definitely not among the top players competitively.
God I would've loved to see Kripp's face when you said "Yeah, for sure dude"
That split second of thinking he was right before you snatch it away from him would've been golden to see
Can't believe Rarran was able to TRIP the KRIP on those battleground cards. Well played good sir
He skipped the krip
when i started watching your content it was a video about how hearthstone wasn't fun anymore and I didn't like that you were making a popular video with a negative outlook on the game. But as I've watched more of your content I've found you to be a very entertaining guy and I appreciate all the attention that you're bringing in to the game. So thanks!
"its gonna be harder this time" krip immediately nails the first 2 questionss
9:29 - such a funny story wtf
how have i not heard id ive been watching kripp forever
13:05 its funny because in this clip you can see how horrible this card is. You dont even need its effect for the OTK.
aww when kripp said ''in arena you wouldn't really encounter any legendaries'' now every deck I face has like 2 legendaries drafted on top of discoveries lul
I missed when Kripp played Hearthstone
Never realized how ripped Finley is
Before watching I have a feeling doing all the cards custom is going to mess up kripp because you don't make the text have the same spacing
Please, explain me how do you see expansion from card? E.g 6:00 Where Kripp sees Kobold symbol ?
Behind the text
Another great video, please bring on Kripp more often. It's awesome when Wild players like me get some quality content.
This series became a favorite on UA-cam. Unexpectedly so ! Did you do Kibler ? Please do Kibler
to answer Kripp's question about why Whirlwind Tempest was removed, a dev on Battlegrounds said that it was almost entirely due to Al'Akir completely breaking it.
"Someone gonna do well you know".
Sounded like some kind of godfather/mafia boss.
I have so much fun watching these series, I paused half way to like and comment on the video, incredibly fun video Rarran thank you
"Everyone was playing mage at that time... Except Reynad" lol lol lol
More Kripp more Kripp!
Kripp should get the point for a success on the unidentified maul
Very cool to have small intermissions of you basically interviewing Kripparrian in this one
At Junkbot I was like "Goblins vs Gnomes, not Gadgetzan..."
Yeah, and he just keeps saying Gadgetzan...
Kripp just went BBoomer mode on his WoW experience
"Earth mother watch over me"
"Oh shit"
Why is this so relatable ? 😂
There is an obscure mage treasure from Rastakans rumble that shares art with the battlegrounds dragon that doubled it's attack when it attacks
Love the vids man. Great entertainment. Keep it up
storytime with Kripp after every question was the best part of any of these videos
Finley zoomed in looks JACKED
This video is just kripp ranting and I love it
08:40 I had a really good warrior deck which played this and that one guy which exchanges decks w/ your opponent (Togwaggle, I think?) and that one 6 mana guy that destroys all 1-mana cards in your opponents' deck. I remember doing pretty well w/ it.
Unidentified maul saw a fuckton of play in odd paladin, iirc. The summon 2, divine shield and +1 attack options were all nuts
That first elemental. I knew the art and new it was 4 mana and 4/4 or something like that. Didn't even read the text. So, i was right it was wrong, but for a different reason. I guess some participants would have better results if they would just say right or wrong without explaining. But it is more fun to watch their train of thought :)
Best video yet! Amazing, Rarran!
I love how frequent these videos are, good stuff
What would be really sneaky is to take a famous card with iconic text, then show a previous version of it that was changed that no one knows about, so they recognize the card, see the text is wrong, say its fake, but its actually real.
God Kripp is such a great guest
Rarran, congratulations. Gold content here! 🙌🙌🙌 Keep it on men. :) Thanks!
10:53 thank u Kripp the amount of times I play arena and discover a beast and see north see kraken with killer stats and effect for cost makes me happy without u we could never discover this op card
Thanks Krip and Rarran. Fun watch
5:38 bro thats Edward van Leaf!
Oh my goodness, the sequel to the best episode =O
man i don't even play tcgs at all but these videos are good ideas
As a non-Hearthstone I thought that Deadly Arsenal was fake because it looked like Pathfinder RPG art.
Instead it's artwork by Wayne Reynolds the guy who did the artwork for the first 12 Pathfinder RPG books cover art.
I mmediately noticed King Mosh was fake because there was no period at the end of the card text lol
Ohhh came home and let's goo fresh Do You Know Hearthstone
KRIP OP 😂
unidentified maul saw play in odd paladin back in the day
I still watch kripp arena vod videos until nowadays, that vegan guy can really be proud of his past.
