It was kinda useless for him so it just end up a dead card, he probably figured ice block is more likely but it wouldnt help him, a minion would, however unlikely it was to be right
it's true, I and most other people would've picked ice block, but decks with mana wyrm are usually tempo oriented and don't really have a need for ice block, they tend to prefer getting other tempo-based secrets out more quickly, and Kirin Tor Mage allows you to do that perfectly, so there was a lot of logic in his decision.
It displeases them. An extreme example but what if the thumbnail was something extremely disturbing / offensive? You only "...look at it for a split second..." anyway, so why does it matter? The fact that the thumbnails are potentially what pulls new viewers into videos, means the quality of the thumbnail is important.
Not really. It's good assumption to guess that a rogue is playing miracle, and the sheer amount of damage Velen can pump there is unacceptable. He'd probably have lost anyway because he couldn't remove the giant, but there's the possibility of holding on for a few turns and drawing something that will save you, like the Lich King.
If he had used Dragonfire Potion to kill his own Velen on his turn, the rogue would have played his turn the exact same, except Trump would have 8 more health but he wouldn't have a board clear for the next turn. He would still die to the Giant+Auctioneer+Flower and whatever else the Rogue would do that following turn. Trump was dead either way, and saving the board clear for Flower + friends for the following turn was easily worth the risk of taking an extra evis or two worth of damage to the face.
conker690 rogue discovered a 6 cost priest spell which takes control of the minion at the start of his next turn. I can't remember the name of it though.
I have to thank you again. I've listened to the piece so many times today, and the bit of lore you gave me makes it even more beautiful. Thank you so much kind Sir. :)
Has Trump done control hunter yet? I recently made a control-midrange hunter deck with ok results, and I'm wondering if I could see other peoples' take on it.
Have you tried running Kazakus raza priest with dragons for late game? I've tried it and it works fairly well. It needs stronger early game though and I am trying to fit in some stronger cards without making it hard for dragon synergy.
Tellex he said It is a bad choice, against a Mage ... ice block itself is a Mage counter. Least It is far better than 4/3 minion choice in anyway but w/e 😈
It doesnt really help his deck much, if the mage has enough burn to kill him one turn hes not going to be able to heal himself enough to prevent a kill the next turn, and he likely wouldnt have enough burst to take advantage of one extra turn like a mage can, it would just set him back to play it at all, which makes it just a poor tempo play that delays the inevitable
The iceblock was the correct choice. almost every mage deck runs it, and with kazakas priest he could save it as a cheep spell for priest of the feast if nothing else. It also give one more turn if your opponent is trying to kill him with burn. Even without burn or healing, you can kill your opponent with a large board using the extra turn you got from iceblock, and shadow reaper means that you might have some burn by the time you get block popped. It wouldn't be kirin tor mage anyway, because sectret mage runs iceblock.
I made quest kazakus priest with Anduin. It worked pretty well I can get all my health back when it is low and then endless 0 cost 2 damage for the win.
I don't understand the hate for this deck. I don't know how great it is in the meta, but it's fun and I've gotten some wins with it. His version seems to need some tightening up, though.
Justin Kroboth razza plus shadow reaper anduin is really annoying to play against, and when this deck high rolls(razza and Anduin get played early) you lose almost every time
I run Quest priest if I do a Kazakus version. I've found dragon priest far better now though less fun than Kazakus due to the retarded amount of value/insta win vs control
He could deal 5 to it already by trading with Sherazin. So the functional benefit is only 2 damage to his own velen (and I suppose 7 damage to the opponent's face).
See, small game design tips. Roadhog's hook grabs an enemy, pulling them towards you. This: -Punishes bad positioning -Allows Roadhog disrupt the enemy -Puts the enemy in a situation where they now have to deal with a roadhog. See, what makes Roadhog's hook good was that if you got hooked, it was your fault. You weren't with your team or checking your flanks or watching out for the hog. And then, if you survive the hook combo, you're now in a completely different situation where your goal is to either survive or kill the roadhog. Roadhog's hook punishes when appropriate and can bring diversity into the game. Good design Ice Block however, does this: -Punishes the opponent for winning -Gives you an opportunity for very little cost -Does not add or take anything from the game, just stalls it. It's uninteresting, very simple with a high reward, and isn't fun to deal with or use. It's poorly defined and adds nothing to the game aside from secret synergy and allowing mage's to get that one extra thing to end your board/the game. It actively punishes you for being good. Bad design.
10% luck 20% skill ,15% concentrated 'command to kill' ,5% topdeck 50% pace and a 100% reason to go for the face
And 25% of Talon first bloods... Wait wrong channel
100% reason to netdeck, just like he said at the end.
Mark McMahon 113% bad at math
Mark McMahon fort minor... remember the name remix
Side Character you didn't get it did you -.-
13:00 When he does that ''whoooo'' whenever someone makes a play that seems stupid always gets me.
9:17 i laughed so hard
jiveturkeh me too hahaha
jiveturkeh same xD
Jens is killin it this year.
Jens is an artist!
jiveturkeh just Jens having some fun...
Anyone find it weird how a 500+ year old elf lady turns into the ghost of a teenage boy?
what
She's nearly 14000 years old and I do think it would be flavourful if they made it so that the death knight cards would fit alternative heroes
The boy murders her and takes her place... I think
It's like jeraxus
I'm loving these clips between games. Keep up the good work!
Theee little clips in between games are hilarious. The one at 9.10 definitely my fav so far.
Who in there right mind would pick Kirin Tor Mage over ice block
The Joker no shit, that doesnt answer his question
The Joker Ya every mage deck runs block it was a no brainer
It was kinda useless for him so it just end up a dead card, he probably figured ice block is more likely but it wouldnt help him, a minion would, however unlikely it was to be right
Rurike so my point is understood thanks
it's true, I and most other people would've picked ice block, but decks with mana wyrm are usually tempo oriented and don't really have a need for ice block, they tend to prefer getting other tempo-based secrets out more quickly, and Kirin Tor Mage allows you to do that perfectly, so there was a lot of logic in his decision.
9:17 Holy shit, my sides. I love these memes.
Thank fuck the good thumbnails are back.
I see someone too has had the unfortune of being rapid fired.
Why the fuck do people get so hung up over thumbnails? You look at it for a split second and click the video, it's not that serious
How's it different from any of the others?
It displeases them. An extreme example but what if the thumbnail was something extremely disturbing / offensive? You only "...look at it for a split second..." anyway, so why does it matter?
The fact that the thumbnails are potentially what pulls new viewers into videos, means the quality of the thumbnail is important.
Decks that run both mana wyrm and ice block disgust me.
WhatThyHex You'll love me then, I don't run either hahahahahaha (gets rank 20 at the end of the season)
When you bout to get legend at Rank 1 5 stars at the last moment before season ends
Then your internet dies
Yeah I honestly think the people that run that use outcome based deck-building. aka run cards that are good vs the last deck they played
Oh, so every mage deck? Me too mate.
Same, I believe it's outlawed in Alabama where they frown upon that shit.
9:17 FUCKING LOVED IT
Jens these edits are amazing just FYI. I laugh every time.
Bravo Jens, best clip so far.
The edits between games are fun. I like the ones the focus on trumps reactions also. Keep up the good work peeps
I liked the longer videos better. Still, it's always good to see a Hearthstone video :)
Ya let's give a rogue prophet velen for a turn. Seems legit.
It was a good play on the side of trump nonetheless
Not really. It's good assumption to guess that a rogue is playing miracle, and the sheer amount of damage Velen can pump there is unacceptable. He'd probably have lost anyway because he couldn't remove the giant, but there's the possibility of holding on for a few turns and drawing something that will save you, like the Lich King.
Yeah like he knew they got a 6 mana mind control off a thief card. You can't play around that
If he had used Dragonfire Potion to kill his own Velen on his turn, the rogue would have played his turn the exact same, except Trump would have 8 more health but he wouldn't have a board clear for the next turn. He would still die to the Giant+Auctioneer+Flower and whatever else the Rogue would do that following turn. Trump was dead either way, and saving the board clear for Flower + friends for the following turn was easily worth the risk of taking an extra evis or two worth of damage to the face.
Yall are right. Still a gross steal.
Legit quit in the middle of an hour long debate for this. I love debates, but Trump is life.
The format to trumps last few videos have literally been one win, one loss
WTF was that slam dunk. lol
Edit: 9:17
That thumbnail is amazing
When Velen says "I have no wish to fight you" at 12:47 is that really good editing or does he actually say that haha
Whats the music at the end of the video?
Is the music played in this video at the beginning from the game or edited in? Sounds like old wow music
Why did Velen go to the other side of the board at 12:25?
conker690 rogue discovered a 6 cost priest spell which takes control of the minion at the start of his next turn. I can't remember the name of it though.
that basketball clip was pure gold
12:28 was it edited by Jens or the minion really speaks to it's priest when it got stolen 0.0
Daryl Pang I think Jens put that in
Daryl Pang the speech bubble was edited, it's not in the style how Blizzard uses their speech bubbles
Ic thanks. What about the voice tho ? Is that real
that's just what Jens sounds like
Just looked it up, the quote isn't real. I don't think Blizzard would add something for Velen getting stolen, so it makes sense.
Jens your thumbnailgame is very strong right now
So you mean the deck Kibler plays in legend?
haha that animation in between was just hilarious... :v
Those trump jokes in between are godlike, please keep them coming
Jens, you are a certified national treasure.
Really enjoying the content atm, keep up the good work please
I love the original WoW music in the background of his videos.
Does he have it also during stream or is that post-editing for the videos?
Jens back at it again with the quality content.
Hold up...what was the joke at 9:18?
Why no Kabal Courier in the decklist?
why doesn't your priest deck have frost nova?
Hey, does anyone here know what is the music at the end?
THE MADMAN!!!
9:16 Jens we love you XD
Does anyone know the name of outro song?
12:27 that interaction
You do know that's the video editor's doing and not actually part of the game, right?
Weston Maier he did it?lel sorry new player :P
What is the outro music called?
I have to thank you again. I've listened to the piece so many times today, and the bit of lore you gave me makes it even more beautiful. Thank you so much kind Sir. :)
Luv ur vids trump
Has Trump done control hunter yet?
I recently made a control-midrange hunter deck with ok results, and I'm wondering if I could see other peoples' take on it.
I won't sleep until I see Trump in a graphic tshirt and jeans.
Have you tried running Kazakus raza priest with dragons for late game? I've tried it and it works fairly well. It needs stronger early game though and I am trying to fit in some stronger cards without making it hard for dragon synergy.
ending song?
12:11 couldnt he just go face with prophet then dragonfire it because prophet doubles the damage?
I hear that beast druid is back...
I love the face Trump makes when he is getting rekt xD
Francisco Rojo *xd
Grayson Guinn XD*
what is the real image?
Perfect!
Did trump upload the same video twice?
This used to be a Darkest Dungeon channel FeelsBadMan
Stress= 100
I miss when it was a piano channel
I miss it when it was a Dark Souls III channel
And when the Dark Souls III build was a face build
Bob Bobbingson's resolve is being tested...
NEVER LUCKY
Replacement for Anduin?
low tide frog seaman > pirate rogue deck > president of jades > forcing anduin with his terrible D
the history of trumpSC is dark and full of shortcut
Good stuff
the title tho... he's not playing as Anduin
He's playing as Tyra Banks
Two uploads PogChamp
really?! how come ice block is a bad choice against a mage lol ....
could have been secret mage
Tellex he said It is a bad choice, against a Mage ... ice block itself is a Mage counter. Least It is far better than 4/3 minion choice in anyway but w/e 😈
oh wait yeah lol idk ice block seems good
It doesnt really help his deck much, if the mage has enough burn to kill him one turn hes not going to be able to heal himself enough to prevent a kill the next turn, and he likely wouldnt have enough burst to take advantage of one extra turn like a mage can, it would just set him back to play it at all, which makes it just a poor tempo play that delays the inevitable

It wouldn't be kirin tor mage anyway, because sectret mage runs iceblock.
Jens is a mad man!
I cant believe he didnt take block
Trumps Kazakus deck gets out valued by Miracle Rogue FeelsBadMan
I made quest kazakus priest with Anduin. It worked pretty well I can get all my health back when it is low and then endless 0 cost 2 damage for the win.
Songstealer seems tough.
Love his drunk memes
chosing a wrong card is just you dinied a card draw
Im loving the music just fyi
"You can win the game if you dragonfire your own guy" ... the moment when you loose the game because you did not dragonfire your own guy :P
That's not Anduinn.
HypeCharlie anduin is the dk
Shadowreaper Anduin?
Psycho mantis?
First game you were so lucky that wasn't counterspell. It usually is :p
Where are the penguins?
How can you fuck up that curious glimmer root?
For every mage that died, the world is becoming a better place.
I don't understand the hate for this deck. I don't know how great it is in the meta, but it's fun and I've gotten some wins with it. His version seems to need some tightening up, though.
Justin Kroboth razza plus shadow reaper anduin is really annoying to play against, and when this deck high rolls(razza and Anduin get played early) you lose almost every time
Justin Kroboth people hate mage, Druid, and preist. They hate all the decks that beat them. If warlock had a great deck people would hate it to.
Did you just assume that mage's deck?
Shells up for Harambe
Them spicy Trump memes. :^)
Классное видео))
Lol the edit
Photoshop thumbnails yay
I thought every mage runs two ice blocks? I know when i play against mage they have two and discover at least three more of them...
did he just assume mage's deck type?
BRING DARKEST SDUNGEON BACK
Dude if you're gunna run Velen run Mirage Caller and the 0 mana spells with it, you can waste people with the combo.
Here, take my prophet velen, what could go wrong
I run Quest priest if I do a Kazakus version. I've found dragon priest far better now though less fun than Kazakus due to the retarded amount of value/insta win vs control
Wouldn't dragonfire potion do 10 damage? he could of went face and then did DFP to kill both minions
hcum ytterp tsol eh ssenkrad ecarbme tsac tnenoppo eht tnemom ehT .staerht htiw laed ot elba gnieb saw ti egamad t'nsaw melborp eht
Keoke ya but sometimes he's a noob lol
I know I'm a noobie. . compared to.. but WTH was Barnes doing in this deck? WTH? . . . I guess I'm not a noobie in all regards!!
He's not even using anduin
9:20 rraihn raihn
Not even quest? No N'Zoth? Why would you make a deck with such terrible value?
Dragonfire Potion would do 10 Damage, full clear.
He could deal 5 to it already by trading with Sherazin. So the functional benefit is only 2 damage to his own velen (and I suppose 7 damage to the opponent's face).
Damn this bad deck is now the #1 deck lmao
But priest wont see play FeelsBadMan :(
What even are these transitions anymore?
Bad!?
5-7?
lol, he builds a Kazakus deck with Raza, throws in Velen, but chooses to not run Mirage Caller and 2 0 cost cards for possible late game combo kills?
Gethseme yes, Velen seems off in this deck, trump should most likely replace him
Iceblock NEEDS to be rotated out, its way to class defining and uninteractive.
ur name is literally connected to roadhog's hook....
Tidal Roadhogs hook NEEDS to be rotated out, its way to class defining and uninteractive
Grayson Guinn thats what i said

why cant Ice block only trigger if MINION attacks you, like vaporise?
