If you want to give Rarran video ideas, he should try building his own decks and playing them in ranked (during the Kaisa season he played 100 ladder games with meta decks, so it would be interesting to see a comparison)
Hey, should i get the eventpass? Or should i wait for the next one. Will any of the future battlepass ever present a board on the pass aswell? I wanna know if it is worth it to get it.
This one, moreso that most past videos, really illustrates how being a Hearthstone player doesn't really equip you at all to evaluate LoR cards. The games really only have cosmetic similarities; the ENORMOUS differences in tempo (since opponents can react to your plays immediately) make them play completely differently, so what is worthless in one game can be game-breaking in another (or vice versa).
I love how the video doesnt end when the content ends but rather continues into rarran coping and sunny going "BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!" and hovers that threat for the next collab also you and rarran should 1v1 in each games rarran plays a deck you made in LOR and you play a deck he made in HS (though, I heard HS is pricy to commit to making decks compared to LOR)
Yeah to be fair this was recorded ~2 weeks ago when plunder wasn't really seen anywhere. Like I said in the video it's a really good card but just didn't find a deck at the time which made me give it 2 stars. If Freljord had more "generally good" cards/playstyles we'd see spirits unleashed A LOT more
19:28 that's literally a lie. "Everywhere" in Hearthstone is written as "(Wherever they are)" and works exactly the same that in Runeterra. Rarran is talking of cards that say explicitly "In your hand, deck, and battlefield" text that meets the distinguishable characteristic of not saying "Everywhere" anywhere.
While you acknowledge how good SPirit Unleashed is, you still only gave it 2 stars? It's litterally the only reason why Freljord sees ANY play at all, just for this single card and there are a ton of tier 2 decks running this. After Aatrox/vayne nerfs, this card will become a tier 1 deck printer. Also, Joraal is the single best non-champion Darkin in the game. All other darkins are mostly the weapon but Joraal is game winning against a lot of spell heavy decks. As an Ionia lover, I really hate it when opponent plays Joraal. So much so that I do everything I can to keep a minion with Aegis alive to prevent them from playing Joraal. It's insane how strong Joraal into open attacks can be. Once the opponent World endered Joraal into Styraatu and I was so damn happy, he basically handed me the game doing so.
Xolanni is what people in the MTG community call a "Timmy Card": It's big and cool with a really powerful effect that's awesome when it goes off, but isn't consistent or even good half the time. Despite Timmy Cards usually being neither consistent or good, they tend to see a lot of play anyways just because they look/feel so awesome when they go off.
Rarran: "I mean would I pay 1 extra mana to have a minion that could potentially refill 1 mana and get a bonus? Yeah, I mean that's not the worst thing I've ever seen" Escaped Manasaber: "Am I a joke to you?"
Haven't really played runeterra, but the black flame seems absolutely busted. There's like 5 million followers with effects when attacking, and you can pick your favourite and make it uninteractable
Still gonna bat my chest that i knew Reliquary was 5 stars before live. I get why it was nerfed but it sucks probably my favorite form of aggro Really cool video, love some colabs
As somebody who recently got back into the game and mostly only plays Path of Champions at the moment, it's really funny to see how massive the difference is between how good these are in traditional LoR vs PoC. Aatrox's deck in Path adds a phage item to the darkin staff, making it an insane +2/+2 that refills spell mana and gives impact for just 1 mana, but in regular games it's absolute trash haha
Your copy pasta to grab clicks via search tags in the description didn't even make sense anymore btw. Mogwai you until recently stopped playing Runeterra, sooooo.......
Love how basically every rating he gave turned out to have at some point been true in some meta at least. He's just straight right that Darkin Staff is actually a good card.
Ruinous Acolyte is sorta reminiscent to Jade Druid of days past in Hearthstone; which is to say, slow but escalates into nonsense after around 7-9 turns
The way I looked at ad judged the Acolyte package was to compare it to Jade Golems, except it's even better because the Reliquary is basically a Jade Idol that not only gives you a Jade Golem to play but also replaces itself in deck. I don't play Runeterra at all and say this package was turbo broken immediately.
I very much appreciate the effort you put into the editing, and maybe it's just me, but I feel like the cards moving up and down were a bit distracting when I was trying to read them.
I actually played a deck I started as a meme with a bunch of poros using spirits unleashed that ended up being Farley strong so was happy to see it pop up in the video 😂
I have to disgree with The Black Flame take. 2/5 stars is actually on-point with how its decks work right now. It‘s similar to Spirits Unleashed so why did one get 2/5 and the other got 4/5?
@@Snnuy Ahh fair enough. I still think the discrepancy between the two for the current format is a bit misplaced but I guess it was right back then. I would probably still put Black Flame a bit higher than Spirits just because IO is not FJ lmao Great video btw! I really enjoy the crossover with Rarran on both of your channels
This was a blast to record, I hope you enjoy it too
Happy new year
Yeah I could only watch it in his channel but now it's here too
I love these videos, it does feel like you have a blast with these. You two put me in a good mood, always entertaining!

Let's be real here. The only reason snnuy made this video was to make rarran say baalkux
And I wouldn't have it any other way
tbf Baalkux rolls off the tongue
@@drewdressing612 it rolls on my tongue too
@@youreeitherasmartfellerora9098EEEEYO
Prepare for your baals to be kux’d
Rarrans the type of guy to rate his gf a 2 star to her face before seemlesly segue into why his mom is an undeniable 5 star. Love him.
Is there something you wish to confess, Linesweeper?
Runeterra really went from "I play minion" to "I am five parallel universes ahead of you" with the introduction of darkin equipment's. Poor Rarran
It's go from "YGO gen 1" to "YGO 2022" real quick
Sounds like every other card game
Rarran almost transformed into Jhin for this video.
You're probably the most creative content creator for LoR we've seen so far.
Branching out to work with others with great ideas for videos, thank you!
Snnuy: pronounces Aegis correctly
Snnuy: wait a second let me mispronounce this for a second
Joraal gets bonus stars bcs he's a poor boi and really needs a hug.

Lor ressembles way more magic than heartstone tbh
@@joedumas1047 yep, hearthstone kinda reminds me more of gwent than lor
I love how the video doesnt end when the content ends but rather continues into rarran coping and sunny going "BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!" and hovers that threat for the next collab
also you and rarran should 1v1 in each games
rarran plays a deck you made in LOR and you play a deck he made in HS (though, I heard HS is pricy to commit to making decks compared to LOR)
Was looking forward so much on this video, you two together make such good content. Looking forward to more in case you'll do them :D
Spirits Unleashed is used in GP-Sej, which isn't a bad deck. I think that 2 stars is a bit too low.
Yeah to be fair this was recorded ~2 weeks ago when plunder wasn't really seen anywhere. Like I said in the video it's a really good card but just didn't find a deck at the time which made me give it 2 stars.

I agree. Considering the time at which the video is recorded, it really makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
I love how Rarran isn't afraid to say Baalkux as many times as he can
Rarran whould propably rate his best friend 1 star if he ever whould be in a need of a wheelchair because "he's to slow".
Poor Rarran got Baalkucked.
....hehe.
I really want Rarran to react to Glorious Evolution

This bromance is really taking a turn :)
Should've mentioned Rite of passage in the reliquary segment. It is by far much more important than any other acolyte sources.
When thinking about high cost spells, always remember this game has spell mana

Wdym baalkux is not a 5 star
Yes, the video I look forward to every expansion
2:30 it’s weird because you can pay 1 mana for +1/+1 or 1 mana for Tough individually and that’s not that good
Xolanni is what people in the MTG community call a "Timmy Card": It's big and cool with a really powerful effect that's awesome when it goes off, but isn't consistent or even good half the time.
Despite Timmy Cards usually being neither consistent or good, they tend to see a lot of play anyways just because they look/feel so awesome when they go off.
Raran: "Demacia is a cringe region isnt it?"
Amazing insight for someone who doesnt play LoR. ^^
Well he played and got gold during kai'sa expansion..... So he has some knowledge
He played lor
Snnuy you are wrong. Staff is legit 5 star in 1 deck and 1 star in every other deck
Rarran is just perfect for this content.
This guy is so fun! pls do more stuff with him!! ♥
I can’t believe he missed the acolytes they’re literally just jades
What is snnuys accent?? It seems like half of game UA-camrs have the same accent
These two are so pure. They just like talking about card games and it's so much fun to watch
Rarran: "I mean would I pay 1 extra mana to have a minion that could potentially refill 1 mana and get a bonus? Yeah, I mean that's not the worst thing I've ever seen"
Escaped Manasaber: "Am I a joke to you?"
Reliquary looks like jade Idols, of course it would be busted
Haven't really played runeterra, but the black flame seems absolutely busted. There's like 5 million followers with effects when attacking, and you can pick your favourite and make it uninteractable
"I dont know about Ballcocks"
common Rarran W
Alternative title should be "Trying to embarrass HS player by making him rate Darkin Cards"
we all love Ballkux from time to time
Someone: "Baalkux"
Everyone: giggles
We are all children here, lol.
There is an easy way to not get demonetized for saying Baalkux, the solution is to just pronounce it correctly
Ruinous acolyte reminds me of jades is that a fair comparison? I don’t play this game
it is! but it's much easier to get the chain going (and much harder to play multiple acolytes in a single turn)
Still gonna bat my chest that i knew Reliquary was 5 stars before live. I get why it was nerfed but it sucks probably my favorite form of aggro
Really cool video, love some colabs
I didn't know Rarran was so funny!
It's a shame I don't consume anything of hearthstone otherwise I'd see him
I love your energy toghether. You are so fun, compeltly synergistic.
I love these videos, good job on always making great content ;-;
Surprised Rarran didn't get ruinous acolyte right, it's basically just jade idol but better
Rarren literally looked at jade idol but for runeterra and said “eh it’s not that good I wouldn’t do this in hearthstone”
Literally my favorite duo back at it again! Love the episode!

I'm surprised Rarran didn't see the Jade Idol parallel with Ruinous Acolytes
Yea. Acolyte reliquary was definitely a 5 star that became a 3 star. It's super awkward now..
But I loved the brainless gameplay. Why? Fuck seraphim.
Your copy pasta to grab clicks via search tags in the description didn't even make sense anymore btw. Mogwai you until recently stopped playing Runeterra, sooooo.......
17:05 I dunno. I play Xolaani in my Gwen/Viego deck, since, thanks to Hallowed, i basicly guarantee Empowered 16.
Love how basically every rating he gave turned out to have at some point been true in some meta at least. He's just straight right that Darkin Staff is actually a good card.
Ruinous Acolyte is sorta reminiscent to Jade Druid of days past in Hearthstone; which is to say, slow but escalates into nonsense after around 7-9 turns
Just run a heca deck with xolani and she will be a 18/18-24/24 round seven almost every game
Hey, I love ur vids!!
Would you happen to upload any Hunt Showdown in the future?? I am a fan of the game
Anaakca is a lovely and respectable woman!! he better stop doing her like that >:(
spirits unleashed is actually good in plunder decks it's definitely a 3/5
tbf Rarran is rating some of these cards more accurately than Snnuy xD
The "who does Demacia in 2023?" comment didn't age so well
Nice Baalkux bro
Xolaani is now a 3-4 with the Poro deck which is quiet intersting
Oh no, the guy said the Darkin Spear was meh, oh no no no, he does not know
Can’t believe he didn’t think runetera jade deck is good
I love these collabs!
WhatAmI (the #2 rated guy on NA ladder) currently runs baalkux in his kindred aatrox.
I dunno if he did when this was recorded though
great video, have my comment for the algorithm :)
You made this 5 year old boy say bad words, not good bro 🙃
Since rarran will never see this: I love him
Let's face it: we're all 5 years old in the face of Baalkux
10:55 steven harvey maybe i butchered it tho.
Idk harp is ridiculous with Ekko.
Last
Is there really a card called Ball Cucks?
they really made a card called baalcux huh
Wut spirit can work with noxus
A love the content you both put out! Evaluating each others games and cards. They are an absolute trest. Keep it up!!!
Always love when you and Rarran collab!
Snnuy to Spirits Unleashed: "YOU'RE A FIVE STAR CARD WITH A ONE STAR DECK"
The way I looked at ad judged the Acolyte package was to compare it to Jade Golems, except it's even better because the Reliquary is basically a Jade Idol that not only gives you a Jade Golem to play but also replaces itself in deck. I don't play Runeterra at all and say this package was turbo broken immediately.
Officially Demacia in 2024
i love seeing this Duo together
I don’t understand the two stars on Xolaani. I’m climbing with the Azir Xolaani deck Snnuy built!
how has Rarran called targon Ionia EVERY SINGLE TIME it HAS to be a running joke at this point.
I very much appreciate the effort you put into the editing, and maybe it's just me, but I feel like the cards moving up and down were a bit distracting when I was trying to read them.
I actually played a deck I started as a meme with a bunch of poros using spirits unleashed that ended up being Farley strong so was happy to see it pop up in the video 😂
Not Sunny putting Spirit's Unleashed on blast for no reason
Dw honey you'd be meta in a good region I swear 😭💔
acolyte's reliquary is a 3* card post nerf? i haven't seen it since after the nerf. has to be a 1* post nerf.
Rarran almost got the darkin memo instead of two r's he should've be called Raaran
Rarran giving all darkin weapons 4 stars while also having two a's in his name might be a little bit of favoritism
8:13 I just call it Stuart
Black flame would be neat in HS for aggro, t-1 leper gnome into it or something seems really good if you got one per turn.
Welcome Rarran to the comments you said you wouldn’t look at!
Freljord champ Ornn is really good with Darkins.
Ruinous Acolyte is that card you tell Pogohopper not to worry about
damn rarran's so smart
PnZ from ARCANE? BAAAAAT
Ruinous Acolyte just reminds me of Jade Golems of old.
I have to disgree with The Black Flame take. 2/5 stars is actually on-point with how its decks work right now. It‘s similar to Spirits Unleashed so why did one get 2/5 and the other got 4/5?
This was recorded before Christmas, black flame was everywhere and freljord wasn't even a region until plunder became playable as counter.
@@Snnuy Ahh fair enough. I still think the discrepancy between the two for the current format is a bit misplaced but I guess it was right back then. I would probably still put Black Flame a bit higher than Spirits just because IO is not FJ lmao
Great video btw! I really enjoy the crossover with Rarran on both of your channels
