Not gonna lie, losing to a mage who just hits you with 30 damage of burn over like 5 turns really sucks. Especially since you're basically a victim of matchup at that point..
Throughout this F2P (at least the videos) there has been a shocking lack of perfect curve priest and druids what the hell kinda God does trump pray to for this kinda luck
the editor didnt show trumps loses in the vids. if you look on the right above the decklist you see trump lost quite a bit. probably to the teams you say
Go, go, Trump. Only nine days to the end of the season, I believe in you, you can get to Legend. At least this proves F2P can get to high ranks and get decent decks.
If someone logs in for the first time and does not spend any money at all on their collection, not even a single penny, then goes on to attain rank 5 on what they were able to scramble together, in this case the Elemental Mage, then I am just fine with that. "Acceptable", and anything else beyond this point is just bonus.
you have to remember though, trump is a full time streamer able to dedicate at least 8 hours a day to this game. He has played well over 120 matches this month, and most people just don't have time for that. He's also a pro player, meaning that his skill level is also way higher. Hitting even rank 5 on a free to play account is still impossible for a casual player, and realistically anyone who would be willing to play 7-8 hours a day would also probably be willing to spend some money on the game.
Snow Storm if someone does not have the time to play the game, then yes, obviously they cannot get rank 5 or Legend, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the premise of a F2P challenge. If someone doesn't have the time to play 100 - 200 matches, then it doesn't matter how many cards they have, they will not get Legend. As for Trump's skill, yeah, that's kind of the whole point. The F2P challenge is showing people that success in the game is not set by how much cash they put into it. While spending makes it easier, the F2P challenge proves that skill counts for more. The F2P challenge is NOT trying to show that every player can be a top tier player, because most players simply aren't good enough. (Myself included, I have never gotten Legend, though I have been very close.) As a side note, I doubt Trump is really doing the F2P challenge to prove these things. He's just doing it for fun. However, the point remains. EDIT: Also don't confuse how much a streamer like Trump plays with how much is required to get Legend. You most certainly do not need to play 7 - 8 hours a day for a month to get Legend. It only takes a tiny fraction of that, especially with a fast deck. My zoo lock has been averaging 7 minutes per game, and I'm a fairly slow player. 200 games is just a bit over 23 hours. In a month, that's quite doable.
Matt Hanson dude there are no pro players in this game. There’s a reason why no one consistently wins pro tournaments and that’s because skill matter up until a certain point and then it’s just draw luck. I would argue that the skill cap doesn’t get much higher than trump seeing as he’s legend every season playing wonky ass decks and he’s gotten to rank 1 legend before.
10:28 okay trump, so here is what you do; you sack only the 4/1 and 3/1, cause that elemental has lifesteal, and then you ping your own 1/1 edit: nvm, chat got it
Ugh Prince Rogue really exposes the weakness of so many players when it doesn't high roll. It's still good without the nut draw, no need to go into angry chicken mode lol.
When he played against the warlock at min 17:00 he played frost lich jaina over flamestrike because than he wouldnt die to doomguard, but this is incorrect because he didnt think about the keleseth buff which would make it a lethal, so his play was probably incorrect
Hey Trump, I was just wondering, if you had pulled any other build-around cards, like Yogg-Saron, Prince Keleseth, Lord Jaraxus, Kazakus or one of the class specific ones, a quest, or another Death Knight, would you have build around them instead? If so, which ones?
So, the last match is a guy who literally bought an account at rank 1, net decked a rogue, and proceeded to where we see him right? I mean, in which universe does rank 5 player not take a free trade?
Fun fact: Spells and Mage's Hero Power do not trigger Noble Sacrifice. Other fun fact : In no case was it right to play Ice Barrier in that case (Trump vs Exodia Mage), since the mage didn't make a play where Trump couldn't break through both the armor and the Ice Block. The mage could have waited and only played Ice Block, kept Ice Barrier to see if he somehow topdecked something that allowed him to survive in conjunction with Ice Barrier. This left him a TINY chance of surviving, whereas playing Ice Barrier on the same turn as Ice Block is an always lose scenario.
Raging Nisse It was actually right to attack before, since you want to trigger the Ice Barrier BEFORE the Ice Block, so the opponent can't sustain himself further on the next turn. He didn't ping first intentionally, because either way the Ice Block is getting popped, but if he pinged first the mage kept the Ice Barrier, which left him with a TINY, however unlikely, chance of survival.
im trying to save up to do my jade druid deck but i dont have any good decks to use should i use some dust to create a deck or just use the trash one i have? ty for the help
Back when Hearthstone just started, 3 of my first 6 legendaries were Lorewalker Cho. I just made a F2P account due to this series and the legendary I pulled from the classic packs was Lorewalker Cho. I'm sorry to say I don't pity you much lol
Trump inspired me to do my own f2p deck and these are the cards I got for my druid deck and im wondering if its good or not enchanted raven x2 tortollan forager x2 wild growth x2 wrath x1 feral rage x1 healing touch x2 stonehill defender x1 crypt lord x1 mire keep x2 swipe x1 druid of the claw x2 lotus agents x1 nourish x2 ancient of war x2 bonemare x2 volcanosaur x1 ironbark protector x2 hadronox ultimate infestation x2
Wow, was playing on and off for a few months, so I was set back to rank 25, decided to make a proper deck (ie. Good, not so janky deck) then from rank 25 all the way to legend, I won every single game. Feels good man.
24:26 Skulking Giest only destroys cards that actually cost 1 mana. Their cost can be lowered to 0 or increased (By Loatheb or something) to more than 1 but they are still gonna get destroyed. And cards that cost more than 1 mana and are discounted to 1 mana will not be destroyed. As they are not 1 mana spells.
8:02 why dont you trade with aya? she is 6 drop, you dont afraid of evolve? and for the next enemy round, why does he trade aya with tar creeper, if he was going to play doppelgangster?
Teo Vukovic Lich king is a value card. This a tempo deck. Yes Jania is lets you pick a value route but that is only when the tempo fails. Lich king isn't going to help win against aggro or control.
Jonathan Martinez it was 2800 Gold that he mentioned as the limitation, as he'd have to buy the necessary wings of Karazan to earn it. F2P gets pretty shafted trying to get cards from Adventures
Trump: "This is where it gets hard. The players are better. The decks are better."
**next match**
Enemy Rogue: "Flame Geyser, my preciousssss!"
lmfao that was such a ridiculous play
Pretty sure he was used to bouncing low cost cards so he though it would cost 0 instead of 2
Wow, you can really tell a difference. the Rank 5 player was way better and more skilled than the previous rank 6/7 players.
you mean the tempo rogue who gave up immense tempo by shadow stepping his 5/4 steam surger?
I pulled my pants down ready for the intro and you go and disappoint me jens..
DwarfyLike why are you disappointed? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Rest in piece, Water Elemental
5:55 - 10:38

Not gonna lie, losing to a mage who just hits you with 30 damage of burn over like 5 turns really sucks. Especially since you're basically a victim of matchup at that point..
That " *POW* " at 2:41 should have been the intro
shadowflame141 I thought the exact same
shadowflame141 , Lol
Usually, rogues are Fan of knives...
This one however, is Fan of Flame Geysers 🤔
Throughout this F2P (at least the videos) there has been a shocking lack of perfect curve priest and druids what the hell kinda God does trump pray to for this kinda luck
Didn't the last video have 2 perfect curve priests?
ya you gotta love those streaks haha
Tyche and or Fortuna, depends on whether you want the greek or roman version.
kuduku.
the editor didnt show trumps loses in the vids. if you look on the right above the decklist you see trump lost quite a bit. probably to the teams you say
Could it be?
No...
Not....it can't be....
THE...
THEMADMAN
Wow, Jens had really outdone himself with this original new intro.
Thrall cast Evolve on himself and became Frost Lich Jaina.
well, I guess *_T H E M A D M A N_* is back
Finally We have T H E M A D M A N intro back
Seriously, trump, being able to get this far with a tier 4 deck makes me really admire you.
T H E M A D M A N!
13:25 Trump no like lantern
I'm BACK bitches!
Blizzard jail
how was it?
solid 5/7
Turn 0 right?
Almost choked reading this thread
Go, go, Trump. Only nine days to the end of the season, I believe in you, you can get to Legend. At least this proves F2P can get to high ranks and get decent decks.
1:49 lethal?
omg Trump you crack me up every time...
Love this series and this deck so much
Trump with the Steins;Gate reference!!
Rank 5 is pretty sweet for a F2P deck, since that's where the value of the season chest tops out iirc.
7:26 "This is how you beat Evolve shaman"...no, the dude killing his board the previous turn is how you beat them
Trump, you love Flame Geyser. You have 2 of them in your deck and 2 Steam Surgers!
I like the madman intro
18:26 "Jaina's so satisfying"
If someone logs in for the first time and does not spend any money at all on their collection, not even a single penny, then goes on to attain rank 5 on what they were able to scramble together, in this case the Elemental Mage, then I am just fine with that. "Acceptable", and anything else beyond this point is just bonus.
He did have to make multiple accounts, to get Jaina
you have to remember though, trump is a full time streamer able to dedicate at least 8 hours a day to this game. He has played well over 120 matches this month, and most people just don't have time for that. He's also a pro player, meaning that his skill level is also way higher.

I would hardly consider Trump a "pro player"...

10:28 okay trump, so here is what you do; you sack only the 4/1 and 3/1, cause that elemental has lifesteal, and then you ping your own 1/1
edit: nvm, chat got it
The shame concede after forgetting to attack with sheep first @ 27:50 oh bb
Tiger the Lion Not really a shame concede he lost lol
He didn't know that, he lived with 1 health on board.
I love this music, keep it up, got my like
Ugh Prince Rogue really exposes the weakness of so many players when it doesn't high roll. It's still good without the nut draw, no need to go into angry chicken mode lol.
29:30 steins gate reference. lol
Madman? More like Disappoint-with-intro-man
"We can still win by beating them up." - Trump 2017
Mini Zem you mean Trump 2020 right
Great video!
When he played against the warlock at min 17:00 he played frost lich jaina over flamestrike because than he wouldnt die to doomguard, but this is incorrect because he didnt think about the keleseth buff which would make it a lethal, so his play was probably incorrect
Larsinater he would have 1 health left considering even with keleseth buff
HUZA the madman is back
29:15 Trump watched Steins;Gate confirmed.
Play with the interactables more often haha
Been playing for 2 years not rank 5 trump: played for 2 weeks rank 5
Jack P1231 same reach once
28:55 TRUMP is picking frostbolt over a tome? Did fucking Barry change our timeline again?
i believe the reference to timelines is S;G
Hey Trump, I was just wondering, if you had pulled any other build-around cards, like Yogg-Saron, Prince Keleseth, Lord Jaraxus, Kazakus or one of the class specific ones, a quest, or another Death Knight, would you have build around them instead? If so, which ones?
I wonder when trump will realize that Tol'vir is not an elemental.
The eprentai combo!
So, the last match is a guy who literally bought an account at rank 1, net decked a rogue, and proceeded to where we see him right? I mean, in which universe does rank 5 player not take a free trade?
I only now just noticed that Servant of Kalimos actually says "Brothers, heed my COAL" HAHAHA IT'S A FIRE PUN, THANKS BLIZZ
where's the part where he played with Toast?
Hey guys would you recommend this deck even if your not a beginner? Thanks in advance for any helpful tips.
An Nguyen it's a game, just play what you want to play
Fun fact: spells and mage’s hero power (along with hunter’s) do not trigger ice barrier
Raging Nisse That should be obvious, as the card says it triggers on an attack.

Calpsotoma and still trump attacked when he could just ping the opponent. Don’t think it’s obvious for everyone

He didn't ping first intentionally, because either way the Ice Block is getting popped, but if he pinged first the mage kept the Ice Barrier, which left him with a TINY, however unlikely, chance of survival.
The Theory He could just ping again next turn and it wouldn’t trigger the ice barrier either

67% win rate is pretty good for so called "f2p tier4" deck. Even if newbies will reach arond 55-60% win rate it is still very impressive.
What's the music outro? It's so beautiful
+1
I think it has something to do with the Lich King. Lich King theme or something? I think it is from WoW
It should be "Invincible" from wow ost
thx man!
Super freak, super freak, she's super freaky, yoooooow!
Anyone can spot the background music at 16:02? Thanks
"The players are better"
No costum intro :((
I just drew my first golden legendary, it was a fucking milhouse manastorm -.-
Steffen Hirsch free legendary reroll.
Back when Hearthstone just started, 3 of my first 6 legendaries were Lorewalker Cho. I just made a F2P account due to this series and the legendary I pulled from the classic packs was Lorewalker Cho. I'm sorry to say I don't pity you much lol
Steffen Hirsch Lucky. You get to dc him for any Legend you want.
To be fair, BonJovi, Lorewalker Cho has been seen as a tech choice in Mill-Razakus Priest.
Needless to say, Millhouse has not.
No special intro, unsubscribed
i only watch the videos that open with "T H E M A D M A N" however.
I guess T H E M A D M A N wasn't good enough for you?
Back in my day, we didn't even have the mad man, and everyone was running around in shredders.
Didn't you read the title, it's time to get serious
back in my day a special intro was when trump cleaned his glasses
T H E M A D M A N M A N
What's the outro music tho
Trump inspired me to do my own f2p deck and these are the cards I got for my druid deck
and im wondering if its good or not
enchanted raven x2
tortollan forager x2
wild growth x2
wrath x1
feral rage x1
healing touch x2
stonehill defender x1
crypt lord x1
mire keep x2

ancient of war x2
bonemare x2

Is my ranked broken? I ran into 4-5 Razakus Priests in a row last night followed by 3 Druids.
i lost a game to someone who didn't know they you have to kill the taunt minion first because they had frost lich jaina and i had a bad hand
It doesn't say, but it's still not Quest Warrior btw
#BringBackOzruk
T H E F L A M E G E Y S E R M A N
WHAT IS THAT SONG THAT PLAYS AT THE END OF HIS VIDEOSSSS
I also want to know
How can I replace Jaina in this deck? And which rank would I be able to hit?
Thx for responding :)
Lonas128 you really need jaina oryou have no late game ensurance. you cant make comebacks like trump without the elemental lifesteal
In one of the older KFC F2P, trump stated “I wouldn’t run this deck without Jaina”
Newbie here! At around 32:00 against Rogue he says the board has to be cleared by 7. Why is that?
@dialp4penguin because of bonemare
Ahh right, thanks!
And here I was excited for another great intro..... *sigh*......
ANYWAYS

Jonathan Martinez it was 2800 Gold that he mentioned as the limitation, as he'd have to buy the necessary wings of Karazan to earn it. F2P gets pretty shafted trying to get cards from Adventures
um shamans still have lightning bolt they just don't run it.
Needs more Ozruk
11:38 what was that trade? Why did you let him life steal way more than he needed?
DoodleBanger cause they’re at one health. Think about it. 👍🏻
Haha the special intro is gone because things GETTING SERIOUS! :D
Back. In. Black.
finitewombat? Man, he's nowhere near as cool as infinite wombat! Infinite wombat goes on forever!
Yeah, finitewombat only went for limited value -- shadowstepping Steam Surger once.
Infinite Wombat would have done it twice!
