I remember when people used to complain about Savanah high mane being a legendary that you could put 2 copies in your deck, because it has a similar power level to Cairne bloodhoof...
We used to call Savannah Highmane the best hunter legendary until around the witchwood when they finally decided to give hunters legendaries that aren't super niche or just plain dumpster tier
Savannah Highmane in garbage is wild. This game has changed so much since I last played. That would have been an unthinkable statement back in the day.
@@sallomon2357 It used to be the hunter's ultimate hex/silence check. If I slammed Highmane and you didn't have the answer it was going to be a rough time for you as my opponent. Highmane singlehandedly kept hunter as a B tier class when it was at it's worst. When hunter was good, Highmane was absolutely disgusting. Now it garbage and isn't an auto include? Power creep has been crazy after I stopped playing. This is from someone who played from beta through to ~Witchwood. I only dabbled in it a little as well as the preceding expansion. The game changed too much for me at that point.
Fun fact on charge(the spell) and why would be broken in standard: If you use it on remornia you can hit face with the minion, face with the weapon and face with the minion again. And repeat until the weapon breakes.(That was a deck in wild, not a strong one, but viable.)
I remember during Un'goro using x2 Bloodsail Corsair in my Shaman Evolve/Devolve's deck. Was useful to remove weapons and mainly bring Patches in the board. 1 Mana for 2 drops for your evolve, a charge for bloodlust...
I mean yeah there were two years where Bloodsair Corsair was just the best one drop in the game (1/2 + 1/1 with charge) just like Southsea Captain was the best 3 drop.
I remember old unleash, you always had it in mind against hunter, because if you overextended they knife juggler unleash cleared your board and delt damage to you, i played a lot of midrange shaman in naxx and i remember not using hero power because it just fueled unlessh
>show me the deck it goes in It's like this entire community, Rarran included, have no conception that if the cardpool changes the meta changes. If mage gets enough easy face damage then burn mage becomes a deck, if priest gets enough healing and clears then control priest becomes viable. You can't hold anything equal when you add a card into the set, you have to make the set, then test.
Other than returning to play some Battlegrounds, these cards are what I remember Hearthstone to be. I haven't played since like the 2nd or 3rd expansion.... Sword of Justice is my favourite card, love the thematic behind it... very sad to see it sit in 'Garbage Fire' without much discussion lol :( Great vid
2:40 we even have the freeze and silence minion thats 2 mana 2/3 but that has manathirst 6 for the silence effect and thats not seeing in deck play but e.t.c quite a few times
I think Bloodsail Corsair goes into “might see play” tier because it’s a really good card in the pirate rogue/warrior mirror so if those decks ever become tier 1 again people might bring him out.
In my opinon, any of the cards with charge would see play in all aggro decks since it's such a limited keyword plus buffs aren't as hard to come by as they used to.
The tierlists relating to expansions, music, and otherwise non gameplay related things have been great. When it comes to gameplay though, there are so many nostalgia picks. Just a reminder that this is an entertainer channel, not an ex competitive hearthstone player.
I haven't played or watched hearthstone since a little after Grand Tourney. Watching this makes me feel so old and also terrified of what modern Hearthstone looks like
with 10 mana and 3 cards - solar eclipse + force or nature + cultivation is 24 damage from hand (without playing any treants prior to the combo). So I think it will 100% see play in the format.
@@Uefeti i mean, thats like saying vintage MTG and standard MTG are the same game with the same strategies. Or saying formula 1 is the same as a nascar race. Sure, both are "car go fast" but you can hardly say its "the same game with the same strats".
@@ich3730 Yeah, but Wild ain’t vintage. It’s much closet to legacy or modern, but even that comparsment is kinda wrong. It’s not that far away from standart, especially with hearthstone’s power creep. Like, most of the good cards are from recent sets anyway. Wild oftentimes plays with just bettered standard decks. The Fact what Death Knight was a playable (and is kinda playable) class in a metagame, kinda proves that.
@@Uefeti so Wild is kinda closer to Pioneer, you say? Yeah, I would agree. A thing worth mentioning about comparing Wild to Vintage or Legacy is the fact that, comparatively, Basic and Classic are just... not that powerful next to Alpha/Beta/Unlimited. Like yeah, most of the cards are shit, but those that are playable are BONKERS in the case of A/B/U whereas Classic and Basic... You have, like, 10 at most? And even then, I don't feel like the jump from the rest of the set is as big as in the case of A/B/U.
We’re bringing it back. Fireball! Edit I found myself watching this video again and looked at the comments. I was about to make the same comment again.
I haven't played HS in a years but it makes me kinda sad to see that a lot of the staple cards that I associate with each class are not even considered decent options anymore. I guess it's because it makes apparent the disconnect between myself and a game I used to love.
Rarran doesn't know you can click your middle mouse button and just scroll up/down with the mouse. That's why he says his hand is hurting by the end, lol.
Any charge card would see play because of all the handbuffs that exist across different classes now. There would 100% be an aggro bloodknight in the meta if there were other neutral charge minions other than Freebird.
Lots of the low ranked cards you have, see play in top wild meta decks and some of your top cards don't see any play at all. Generally a good list, the pirates and murlocs you have ranked as niche see play in every wild format though
The only when discovered catergory is weird because half the cards there are useless to discover like faerie dragon, even if it's a stronger card than 4 mana hammer of wrath it's worse off generation.
High mane is a low roll when you get it as a 6 off spurfang. It's crazy as mukla and hound are way better. Also keepers strength is basically shadow flame and is nuts in paladin
Have you played any standard at all? I constantly run into these cards at ranks 1-5(before legend). Sure a lot of people have some pretty funky cards in their decks but being at rank 2 for example means you have a positive win rate (unless you are currently in the process of tanking yourself down to 5). Cards talked about are like blizzard and far sight etc.
If your statement is "Velen is one of those cards that would become better with more cards released" and he hasn't seen play in Wild in many years. Then you have your answer. Even if Discovered there's no way you'd play him. Velen is Garbage Fire, 100%, no sweat. This entire video feels like Rarran just snorted a couple of lines of energy drinks and then started recording after having been awake for 3 days straight, his takes are absurdly bad. And while I think they are bad, I think it's very entertaining, so either way, great content.
Sword of Justice would have utility on discovery. Hunter's Mark wouldn't see play as it takes a deck space and the effect isn't worth it. Blizzard is too expensive for what it does. It's funny seeing how power dumped formerly incredible cards are, like Faerie Dragon and Highmane.
Hear me out, old brewmaster is as good if not better than new brewmaster in decks like the Snake Warlock or use with Astalor. You never are wanting to leave your snake out on the board and so the 3/2 statline is marginally more applicable than the +2/+2 on the snake. (Altho in stuff like charge combos then the new one is better)
So confused, aren't all classic cards still in standard? Just mostly not good enough to see play? I get confused, played so long weird to think they are not there.
Wtf, is the powercreep. Havent played hearthstone in years, stumbled in here. Highmane as trash tier is so insane to me. It was considered the best 6 drop (before they nerfed sylvanas to 6). Waraxe was in EVERY warrior deck. It was nerfed to 3 mana and still saw play. Fireball not being played is absolutely insane. It was the mage card. No mage deck without it. Azur drake was put into hall of fame because it saw so much play in different decks
I have a question guys. I only play wild. But isnt every classic card in Standard? I always thought it was current expansions plus classic set? Or it used to be that?
I don’t see actioneer being broken and I don’t see Alex and Knife Juggler seing play. I also feel like Grom would se play in enrage warrior (like it saw), and that’s not that niche. Being in only one deck, but that deck being tier 1 at some point is not that niche.
inner fire would 1000% see play in standard if all the other classic cards were with it. It was my favorite deck when I used to play, doom slayer 0 mana silence double its health twice and inner fire, + whatever else you happened to have since that's only 7 mana and there's the radiant elemental.
I've been so far removed from Hearthstone for quite a while and it was crazy to me that he pretty quickly dismissed Inner Fire. I'm like damn is HS to the point where Inner Fire OTK decks are banned/designed out of existence?
This video just screams how bad the power curve has gotten in Hearthstone. Highmane, Sprint, Fire Elemental, Gorehowl and Jaraxxus all in Garbo tier....10 years definitely made an impact on the game.
He asks the question if these cards would see play if they were in Standard. He completely forgets that one third of the cards he brings up are currently in Standard. That kind of diminishes the point of the video.

It used to be the best 6 drop in the game for sure, and still not every hunter deck played them, face hunters simply didn't need 6 drops
We used to call Savannah Highmane the best hunter legendary until around the witchwood when they finally decided to give hunters legendaries that aren't super niche or just plain dumpster tier
If Silverback Patriarch isn’t S tier I’m going to be sad
S tier? Come on now don't be ridiculous. You can't classify Silverback patriarch, it's just that good
Silverback is a couple hundred thousand tiers above S, and that's when he's using a small fraction of his power
Magma Rager should be S+ tier.
Dies to oger, f toer
It literally saw play though with barrel of monkeys

If you use it on remornia you can hit face with the minion, face with the weapon and face with the minion again. And repeat until the weapon breakes.(That was a deck in wild, not a strong one, but viable.)
Your hero can only attack once a turn with remornia though
I feel so cozy watching old cards. Every card has something to it.
Putting sylvanas and tink into trash is kinda nuts. So many situations for both cards to just lock out the enemies previous or future turns
I’ve had sylvannas show up a couple times off of random effects and it’s so meh
I really like these breakdown of old sets in modern hearthstone. Hope to see some of the older sets like GvG and TGT done next
I remember during Un'goro using x2 Bloodsail Corsair in my Shaman Evolve/Devolve's deck. Was useful to remove weapons and mainly bring Patches in the board. 1 Mana for 2 drops for your evolve, a charge for bloodlust...

I am a main rogue pirate player for over 3y and i can assure you that gething rid of 1 weapon use can make you win (in a weapon meta for shur)
>show me the deck it goes in
It's like this entire community, Rarran included, have no conception that if the cardpool changes the meta changes.
If mage gets enough easy face damage then burn mage becomes a deck, if priest gets enough healing and clears then control priest becomes viable. You can't hold anything equal when you add a card into the set, you have to make the set, then test.
I think the video discusses how would the card do if ONLY this card was added, not if all of them got added in at once.
Would be more interesting if you didnt always check before your first attempt at rating if the cards are currently in standard format
Other than returning to play some Battlegrounds, these cards are what I remember Hearthstone to be. I haven't played since like the 2nd or 3rd expansion....
Sword of Justice is my favourite card, love the thematic behind it... very sad to see it sit in 'Garbage Fire' without much discussion lol :(
Great vid
2:40 we even have the freeze and silence minion thats 2 mana 2/3 but that has manathirst 6 for the silence effect and thats not seeing in deck play but e.t.c quite a few times

Power Word: Shield is just good enough for Priest decks. Cheap 1 mana draw 1, especially when draw is Priest’s weakest aspect. 100% sees play
Draw is the priest's weakest thing? Lmao
I haven't played or watched hearthstone since a little after Grand Tourney. Watching this makes me feel so old and also terrified of what modern Hearthstone looks like
Charge on Ramornia alone is horrifying because it maintains the charge after the weapon swing
Sword of justice + reoccurring villan combo my beloved
with 10 mana and 3 cards - solar eclipse + force or nature + cultivation is 24 damage from hand (without playing any treants prior to the combo). So I think it will 100% see play in the format.

Edit I found myself watching this video again and looked at the comments. I was about to make the same comment again.
2:28 Since Coroner and Starfish exist, I doubt owl would see any play. Probably only when discovered.
as a wild player windfury's placement saddened me because that card has wrecked me on ladder as recently as yesterday in even totem shaman
There are cards that are in Tier 1/2 standard decks and he puts it in might be played
Brawl. A card that’s been in the game and seen a mass amount of play in both standard and wild and puts it in might see play
It's in fact currently in standard. There just happens to be "better" brawl available.
Sylvanas is the biggest snub
