"Oh wow this card is insane! It's great! You know, this card...actually, this card isn't that great. Really though, this card is terrible. Just terrible."
I think in regards to the new discard cards the thing that makes them distinctively different from past iterations is that you can predict and control which card is discarded, and it's often going to be the least valuable as the lowest cost one. This is very different to "discard a random card" which is way more rng and unreliable by comparison. They might still be bad but I don't think it's fair at all to compare them to past discard decks to claim they won't be any good.
I think the card "The Beast Within" would be a good or average card to put into a spell hunter deck as most of the creatures if not all the creatures in spell hunter that are going to be played are beasts. This would allow for good to decent removal for spell hunter and also add in other cards that can do more damage or summon more beasts to help out with the board state when it comes to playing spell hunter. Though if you had "The Beast Within" in your opening hand you would want to automatically mulligan the card as it would not support or help out in developing your board state.
on revenge of the wild. besides board sweepers; taunters seem to stop agro. you can use your board to clear a big taunt and then use this (assuming a lot of these new beasts have rush) immediately go face again
with Soulwarden you can get tempo by playing discard cards that have big numbers early on n then later on when u have no hand you can basically draw 3 cards by playing the Warden
Captain Hooktusk is really good for the pirates that have 5 damage and effects from Overkill and Deathrattle. Play it with Ticket Scapler, Cused Castaway, and you could even run Southsea Captain for more damage for board clear. You draw cards and gain a Combo card which mostlikely would be your Elven Minstrel, Vilespine Slayer, or Edwin VanCleef. The card is useful, but you have to be careful what cards you run with it. At least it's not summon 7 1/1 bats for 8 mana.
The text for Spirit of the Lynx says "summon", not "play". Does that mean it would grant it's bonus to the wolves generated by the spellstone, or flanking strike?
I love you sooo much day 9.... I watched ur spellsingers, magic arena and other vids, NOW I CAN'T STOP SAYING "BING BONG NOOOO!!!" damn you mr :D love from the UK
Hey, Day[J] there's a cat on your back... Oh, there it goes. P.S. I wonder why I am watching this, I haven't played Hearthstone since Goblins and Gnomes.
I don't think I have seen any set reviewer give out this many "0/10"-ish ratings! What I kinda got from this to be honest is that 95% of the cards are just flat out bad and the rest are good for reasons which have nothing to do with the rest of the set. It was a funny video :)
predatory instincts + stampeding roar = 12/24 rush tyrantus on turn 5 (cos your a druid and have wild growth) with relativly little actualy investmant 2 cards and you lose your turn 4, but you gain a 12 24 TYRANTUS WITH RUSH OUT ON TURN 5/6 2 witching hours = 2 more tyrantus yeah that deck will be nasty as fuck imo
He's completely wrong about Cannon Barrage and High Priest Jeklik and Reckless Diretroll. He's completely missing the value of Jeklik if you're able to buff him through Soul Infusion or Spirit of the Bat, because he keeps all the buffs when discarded and then just multiplies with the same stat line. The Diretroll provides consistency in this regard, with his controlled discard mechanic. His assessment will certainly be on a highlight reel.
I'm pretty late in here. I don't have much to say about the review. But Day9 not knowing Wolfrider isn't a Beast goes right into the 'not knowing Netherspite Historian wasn't a Dragon' category of how.
also @2:39:11 is that even true? Hasn't he said time and time in the past that he hates cards that pull randomly out of nowhere because they're frustrating to play around?
Imagination is relatively limited in this review.. was any of this prepared or was this all first impression and improvised? I'd really like to see you come back and do one of those videos that are typically cringey where they review their review after the meta has formed, but I think yours would be much more entertaining than the norm. I also think you'd learn one or two things about yourself. Win-win?
He definitely got just pretty belligerent towards the end. Still was right about most of the neutrals, granted. I think maybe he was getting tired. He used to have that attitude through the whole video in some of his first card preview videos, but he's been getting better.
Why does he keep only considering Hunter card for how good they run in an aggro deck instead of the goddamn deck we've seen the whole last year, Spell Hunter and all other variations that just win by spamming KoC cards and Rexxar turn 6
Thats intentionally they missed alot of meta changes in the past. Typically you want a new meta in the new exp and not something that empowers the meta from last exp.
Lol at 1:23:13 he asked, And what do you do vs aggro? Slam down your 4/4? Yesterday I played in that brawl against a Super aggressive Odd Hunter, and I slammed the Templar down on turn 4 . The Templar won me the game and dealt the final damage to the Hunter.
it amazes me that no one has called out the predatory+stampeding synergy with somthing like tyrantus a 12/24 cant be targeted+rush minion on board turn 5 (cos lol druid) basicaly only 2 things that can deal with that, vilespine and voodoo doll one is only 1 card in one deck, and the other is barely ever run at all
I dunno dude, I think headhunter's hatchet is kinda trash. Hunter has so many good 2 drop's that are just plain better. I bet it won't see much play. Gonk for druid is also awesome. It stacks with multiple copies and you can OTK.
The previous instances of those card reveals were hyperbolic, insane and hilarious. This one... Sean gives the impression he's actually serious about this review, and that makes hyperbolic statements and seeming ignorance about pretty basic mechanics and uses of cards a little frustrating.
@@escanor3394 I wasn't talking about the description, I understand sarcasm. I meant the actual review itself that at times sounded actually genuine. A lot of really bad cards were rated low as they should have and for actual true reasons.
Oh how I missed Day9 talking about Hearthstone
yass, i hope we will still see him on card reveal streams in the future, he is fun to watch.
Yep, I like Mtg, and I like Day9, but I need Day9 Hearthstone videos in my life!!
Missing day9 ans hearthstone...We've come à long way since starcraft…
just watch the soulwarden review. That has to be the best card review I’ve ever seen 2:33:00
"Oh wow this card is insane! It's great! You know, this card...actually, this card isn't that great. Really though, this card is terrible. Just terrible."
Remember, if your expensive minion has no immediate effect and the opponent removes it then you're SOFNL
It bugs me more than I'm willing to admit that Ironhide and Direhorn are almost anagrams of eachother but not quite.
It bugs me that they could've gone with Ironherd Direhorn

Sheriff : 5 stars
I thought he was making an analogy at 14:50 about actual novice engineers XD
Today I learned that I do not care about Hearthstone anymore.

yes
spirit of the raptor is actaully quite strong in odd druid on turn three+ the deck probably wont be great though

Never stop talking.

2 witching hours = 2 more tyrantus
yeah that deck will be nasty as fuck imo
It's time to watch a grown man be correct for three hours.
Finally, the video we've all waited for. God bless this man.
100% correct card assessments

jokes are often hard for you to understand arent they :)
The real card review, the best card review
Technically these are card previews.
Jan'alal summons a Ragnoros reliably in a Frostlich Jaina deck...AND Rag has lifesteal
Kitty!
LOL @ 1:07:05 "So this card.. oh wow look at my byceps. Ok, what was I saying again?"
God the neutral minions were just horrible, even at the time lmfao
Awesome review, long but fun. Cheers Day9!
The last card review...
I'm pretty late in here. I don't have much to say about the review.
But Day9 not knowing Wolfrider isn't a Beast goes right into the 'not knowing Netherspite Historian wasn't a Dragon' category of how.
also @2:39:11 is that even true? Hasn't he said time and time in the past that he hates cards that pull randomly out of nowhere because they're frustrating to play around?
one more thing to add as is mandatory:
Geosculper Yip
The only card review you’ll ever need poggers
I saw Toast play a Gonk combo and it was pretty fun but yeah its not a competitive deck.
I only play Murlock Shammy. I am disapointed lol. Thx for the nice review
A couple of days later and now Gonk druid is a thing =DDD
Why does Soulwarden not heal you for 1 whenever a minion enters play!?!?
me: does quick google search* i see what you did there
this has been out for an hour but no one has finished the video yet
Fasc-i-f*cking-nating. LOVE it.
Tomb crasher can drop the Soul Flayer for you for 6 mana
Revenge of the Wild has to be good in the event there's taunt minions that will make you lose a lot of pressure or even the game
Revenge of the wild with Flark’s Boomzooka
Make it happen!

30:11 - Baited arrow is 5 mana deal 3 damage - or, 5 mana deal 2 damage, overkill: summon a 5/5 Devilsaur. Nailed it!
Well yes, deal 2 damage (activate) overkill: summon a 5/5 devilsaur.
Ed as in Firebat's Ed? he's the best :D
3:10:39 that face is amazing
spirit of the dead + zerak's cloning gallery + spirit lash
Hope you aren't thinking malygos, valen because it dies.
Yeah like that you've got no board, lost a turn and a bunch more cards in your deck!
Why does he keep only considering Hunter card for how good they run in an aggro deck instead of the goddamn deck we've seen the whole last year, Spell Hunter and all other variations that just win by spamming KoC cards and Rexxar turn 6
Also, they're minions not creatures
Zul’jin is the new shudderwock. Seriously winning unwinable games.
You mean the new Yogg-saron?
@@heuclmeucl-heucl5351 hes more like shudderwock since you always get the same stuff instead of just losing or winning
This is what i hate about some new expansions. They make new cards that only work with other new cards. Like the concept of c'thun.
Thats intentionally they missed alot of meta changes in the past. Typically you want a new meta in the new exp and not something that empowers the meta from last exp.
Bout time! Haven’t watched you in months!
Oh how I miss Bro9
Lol at 1:23:13 he asked, And what do you do vs aggro? Slam down your 4/4?
Yesterday I played in that brawl against a Super aggressive Odd Hunter, and I slammed the Templar down on turn 4 . The Templar won me the game and dealt the final damage to the Hunter.

more artifact content pls
I love your reviews
This feels like the most boring expansion to date. Even most of the legendary cards didn't have any especially unique or head-turning abilities.
predatory instincts is going to be one of the best
it amazes me that no one has called out the predatory+stampeding synergy with somthing like tyrantus
a 12/24 cant be targeted+rush minion on board turn 5 (cos lol druid)
basicaly only 2 things that can deal with that, vilespine and voodoo doll
one is only 1 card in one deck, and the other is barely ever run at all

Sean does not give the impression that he's "actually serious about this review". You inferred it. Just look at the video's description.

Yaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhy
Finally!
Man the confidence you had in every choice you made is kind of embarrassing. Almost every single one was wrong......
It’s almost like he was stating intentionally over-inflated opinions on his first impressions with cards. ALMOST
Man spends 3 1/2 hours talking strategy in an RNG game
