You see, this game has this dumb thing called "rules" that make it so much more boring than the one created by some other guy called Noah?
-Can we have MagicTheNoah?
-No, we have MagicTheNoah at home.
MagicTheNoah at home:
Good first attempt, but I feel like there needs to be more player interaction. The players aren't doing anything other than watching you spin the wheel. There's no decisions to make to make the game more interesting.
Wouldn’t be Hearthstone though if there was more player interaction. Sitting there staring at RNG deciding your game is the hearthstone life 😂
just like heartstone
Alternate title: Rarran spins a bunch of wheels while three people commentate
That is a good point, still enjoyed it though 😀
Well, he did try that with "p2w store", but the gold gain was too low that you would buy 0-1 items per round (5 turns / 15 wheel spins)
Noah needs a lawyer
for the record, I got approval to follow his format
knowing noah rarran needs a bodyguard..
Rarran needs a gazillion dollars for the daily pack shorts
@@RarranGood day Mr.Rarran, I'm Mr. Spiffing Brit's Clone lawyer, we are still waiting for your approval on divorce documents We sent you last month.
Mr. Clone is really disappointed in your actions and he is heartbroken.
We are waiting for you response, or we will meet in court.
With best regards

High court lawyer,
Mr. clone-of-a-clone of a Spiffing Brit
@@Rarranyou should do a video with him!
Everyone’s gonna say this is Noah’s niche but I gotta say it’s so fun watching the boys just interact, need more of something like this!
such a vibe. going into my sleeping playlist
Copying the concept is fine, but using the same wheel, google slides, shop etc is a bit much
Bad artists copy, good artists steal !
@@honk_mcgoose It’s not like he created those programs, they’re just the most widely available options for various uses. Why would anyone intentionally choose worse applications? Nagging at people having fun, especially when they also got agreement with the "creator" of these types of games is just annoying and not constructive criticism.
46:00 every part of the deranged ending was perfect. How everyone met but didn't feed Kripp by hand, how tall Roffle is, touching tips, Dreads being 3 feet shorter than Kripp. I'm dying. 😂
loved this concept! Tweaks I'd make if you ever do it again: Opponent gets higher base strength in each tier (because higher tier players are stronger). Players base strength increases by one each patch (To represent skill of the pilot increasing). Players can't demote into bronze (Just because real game works that way and it would spare dreads some embarrassment).
HearthstoneTheRarran could be a banger concept, there is just way too much wheel / not enough player doing stuff
If the game gets an update (add more adventures !!! (Players yearn for pve both in real hearthstone and this)) then it will be absolute cinema
I think, not giving them agency was a crucial part of the massage
@@lingwd7755 True, but the problem is hearthstone isn't fun because of that.
I have a hard time watching this despite really wanting to love it, just because it does feel like players have no agency, and it comes down to PURELY luck (yes I know that's the point, but I mean there should be a tiny bit more strategy and nuance)
@@MonsterGamerGuy1 I think it's best to watch it not as a game show like mtn, but as an art installation criticing hearthstone
@ fair, but going forward, to continue a potential series, changes would need to be made
@MonsterGamerGuy1 That I agree with completely
As a little inspiration for the next time. I would suggest, give a little more agency to the player, that they may choose what they want to do for their turn. For example play ranked or open some packs (for a rng buff or bragging to other player for debuff) or rebuild their deck for a small guaranteed buff in the next game or so.
100%
Haven't finished it yet, may not, but I completely agree. I like the idea I just struggle with that agency bit. It is hard to watch for me.
Yeah, you could simply give them the choice of spending an action on going to the shop, playing a game, or building a new deck.
Building a new deck could be paying a small amount to roll the wheel again, or paying a larger amount to simply up the tier of your deck by 1. Instead of having the gold gained on patch day be determined by the deck have it just be X gold per patch. Not an action meant to be taken frequently, but rolling for a new deck if you're low on gold or upgrading your deck when you're close to the end and looking to maximize your chances are situations that could happen.
Buff the shop items and/or make them cheaper to make going to the shop a more desirable action, and probably increase the variety a little; even just some items like a respin on an unlucky wheel, a -1 or -2 penalty for one opponent's round, and maybe an item that turns a tie into a win.
And make the modifiers a little more varied; ie Deck Tracker could be a permanent buff (probably lower to +1 or +2), but if you ever roll it again you lose all your gold/don't gain gold the next patch. Best matchup could change the odds of the tie and lose options, while worst could switch win and tie.
You could also add the “play arena” button where basically you are playing for gold and not ranked tiers. Or the pve as a way to strengthen your deck for the whole patch in change for a skipped turn (but you can only do that a finite amount of times in the whole game, and maybe 1 chance to do it gets added with each patch or so). But these are just some other ideas, I’m sure Rarran will come up with something
"Are you tired of playing Hearthstone? Me too" - Rarran and everyone else, 2025
Nah, the miniset is actually incredible
@@andreicecold4379 Agree, beginning of the expansion was mid at best for me but miniset is fire
Just picked it back up recently, so not really
I literally started again after leaving years ago. And the mini set is a blast
Not a big fan of the mini-set, but the change in meta is nice. I've stopped playing standard for a month before this and now the braindead combo decks are gone finally.
19:32 wait, shouldn't Tier 4 be +4 after Dreads buffed it?
i was looking for this xd
You right, that is entirely my fault
@@Rarranthis game is rigged!!! Pls make more videos on this series! Suggestion, maybe use excel or other spreadsheet and write some formulas or vba codes that help keep track with the item used or deck strength! I’m sure you will figure it out as a cs major --- from another cs major
@@Rarran good thing he's the greatest hearthstone 2 player ever
Roffle was winning to much, rarizzard had to do something
People are complaining that the players didn’t have enough agency and it was just an rng cutscene as though that doesn’t capture the Hearthstone experience perfectly.
Probably it's better to do different difficulty for each rank? 1 for bronze 10, 2 for bronze 5, 3 for silver 10 and etc.
Or just give their "opponents" a buff that depends on deck tier (so in diamond they're gonna play against tier 1 deck, so their "opponents" are gonna get +4)
Roffle's "Someones gotta stop this guy" Everytime hes not first is hilarious
The Blue Shell from Mario Kart effect, or alternatively, the Board Game Online effect, that game capitalized on the idea, had a ton of different ways to dunk on the leading player.
I'm not entirely sure why there are even players if all they do is just watch the wheel spinning
It’s a perfectly accurate HS simulation XD
Exactly my thoughts too. Cool concept but the players dont get to do anything. No choices, very linear path, and just a wheel dictating everything.
@@chaosjimthevoidlord3762 In Hearthstone your choices often don’t matter, but at least you get to make them.
Rarran put so much thought to this board game, down to the fact that in hearthstone you also have no agency how your game goes lol
8:30 the bit about the deck track was so funny. Imagine if Rarran was able to afford a deck tracker in 2k25. Lol
I like how every time they hit bot opponent they lost. AI is taking over Hearthstone.
Roffle got scammed on the Deck reroll at 19:20 , The tier 4 deck got buffed that patch by Dreads so he should have had 4 deck strength, not 1
He played different tier 4 deck
without the commentary from the gang this would have been a terrible idea.
For player agency, I would suggest being able to play that day or not. If not play, roll a wheel for a chance of buff (like work to pay cash or watch a coach to increase strenght for the rest of the patch, or play another game for a permanent debuff on strenght). If play, is the way it already is.
Good idea but it feels a bit to convoluted for the format and makes it harder to follow. I would stay simpler like noah with stuff like this and give more agency for the players. afterall its a mix of dnd and board games and the player involvement and improvisation makes it much more enjoyable to view (and also for the players). Still a good first try into this form of content and excited to see you improve on it in the future.
Dreads speaking like he is being held against his will the whole time is so funny. I adore his sass. I don't know anyone who trash talks better. "GET OUTTA MY GAME!"
Rarran somehow proves that Hearthstone1.0 is not that bad after all
at the start i was like 'meh another hearthstone video' but when i contiuned to watch it, i was more invested in this video than other movies
Super fun video idea! I like the MagicTheNoah videos anyways, and this is a fun adaption. Also I'm a big fan of your choice of players.
Just one thing: I think it would've been very nice if there was an increase in difficulty the further you are up on ladder - it's easy to win a Bronze 5 match, but not as easy winning in Diamond. I feel this would've added to the game.
Rarran, I legitimately haven't laughed this hard at a video in ages. Please keep making content together, if possible.
This was so entertaining to watch! Looking forward to more this type of content!!
8:26 That joke flew too high for Rarran sadly
I had a blast watching this!
Insanely nice content Rarran.
My condolences for Dreads early game btw
Roffle reminds me of like if Dzeef had a cooler, older brother
holy shit
Rarran you've basically played the game for them the entire fun is watching the guests do things 😭
Felt not like board game, but rarran just playing with himself, having 3 characters on board, they had no interactions, just comentary
"there is a situation where this game will go on for eternity"
oh, so they're playing wild
Alternate title: Rarran spins a bunch of wheels while three people commentate
Brother they're not doing anything, this is you spinning a wheel for 50 minutes
Just the three of them watching a 50 min cutscene
So just like hs amiright
You watch it for the personalitys my guy if it doesnt entertain u watch something else :)
More than them "playing" is have have them talk
@@mcproper3793 He is just saying what could make it better
I saw the very first slide and was like "I see Rarran quite enjoyed his time on MagicTheNoah"
This video was really fun and there's a lot of great potential to edit the mode to make it more interesting. For me I'd say making it more like options for each turn, like opening packs, checking hsreplay, just various actions to alter your stats throughout the run
Dreads getting the Rarran RNG on a MTN video is somehow fitting 😂
It's a cool concept! I think you could improve it a lot by giving the players more agency, give them choices and such beyond just the shop. Would love to see more!
4 goats in one 1 video, what an amazing video idea
This was really fun to watch! I loved the unquie idea, it would honestly be super fun to see more videos like this! If your reading this, i hope your doing well
Very fun video! Everyone involved did a great job to make this very entertaining
Leave it to Roffle to get legend on the backs of the little guys. Lol
This was so great.
While it felt like the 'players' had a bit less agency than what MagicTheNoah games offers, you're really good at keeping things going the entire time Rarran. I'm quite impressed, it looks like you really poured over this system before this episode
Roffle and Eddy, powers combined, are able to bully their content-Husband Rarran into oblivion.
44:33 I zoned out and I literally thought Eddy was making a hearthstone joke with the 1 mana shaman card that freezes a minion and draws a card called Windchill bro what the hell
47:02 Sorry I had to close the video when you said this love your content though!
Second Noah has struck the world trade center.
Wow, Rarran played his own Game wrong. He didn't give Roffle the Buff for the tier 4 deck that dreads applied!
JKJK, I love this video, Dreads early game was rough though. NeverLucky
"You wanna wipe your ass properly" that quote goes on the box.
Really enjoyed this. I think permanent bonus for like experience or game knowledge gained on patch day would be huge.
I enjoy that you said who your inspiration was!
Also enjoyed the video.
Great idea, the only minus of the game - lack of user interaction 😂
In the first 3 seconds I was like "This feels like a Noah video" and then you said it
It physically hurt when Rarran didn't get Roffles deck tracker joke
that was a fun lil video didnt think id enjoy it this much tbh XD
Loved the idea, Rarran. Nice job
I initially assumed that Rarran would be spinning the wheel to decide the specific decks that the players would then pilot in actual Hearthstone matches. This was ok as well, but the lack of player agency was very apparent.
A board game which acts as the context for a crazy Hearthstone tournament with matchups and deck selections resulting from wheel spins would be a cool idea imo.
The eddy + roffle banter is top tier
If you happen to do this type of video again, I would like to see the players be able to do something. Usually in Noah's video, the player does get to do something, whether it be choosing what space to move on the board, or what action they would like to take. Right now, it just seem like a wheel simulator.
Making items more attainable would probably give players more agency
I respect the hell out of you both opening with the name of the person that inspired you and putting it at the top of the comment section. It makes the incredibly blatant plagiarism
that much more palatable.
Too many comments about how to do more with it, magic the noah references, stuff that got forgotten. Nay i say! I will comment, good vid rarran, it is very enjoyable watching u and the guys just messing around together with a crazy but fun idea. For those spouting shit about noah, it wouldn't surprise me for even 1 bloody sec if the man gave Rarran his personal blessing and maybe even some assistance with it if rarran asked, mf loves Rarran, where else will noah get his most cursed player shennanigans from? xD
This might be too accurate to the Hearthstone experience.
So this was super fun, but I feel like just a *little* more player agency would go a long way. You could keep this exact format but maybe players have to choose from 1 of 3 wheel pools to go for before a match.
Like Pool 1: Deck adjustment (gives chances to permanently make your deck stronger or weaker)
Pool 2: Pray to RNG Gods (Has all the big +3/-3 options, super swingy and risky)
Pool 3: Pull out the Credit Card (Has the options to win items but also maybe loose gold by getting a bad signature or something)
That way before each match you can choose if you want to focus on winning that day, improving your deck in the long run, or trying to get more gold items. Give a little bit of strategy to the randomness.
Also I think more persistent modifiers could be cool. Like on the wheel is an option to get a random one and they could be stuff like "Meta slave" Double chance to roll a tier 1 or tier 2 deck on patch day, but you only get half as much gold every patch because you are shilling for all the cards. Or negative ones like "tilted", double all bonuses or negatives from RNG. Just things that help the players slowly become different from each other beyond just deck strength.
Actually wait, why _are_ there so many Canadian Hearthstone personalities?
Honey wake up
New hearhstone the Rarran content just dropped
This board game is so interesting, and the guests were super funny
Awesome idea! Hope we can see more episodes of this! Maybe invite Noah or players from other cars games for fun ;)
This is a great idea! I'd love to see more player interaction, though. The current setup is a little too snakes-and-ladders for me.
Remember the day when Rarran got backsteated in Hearthstone 2.
this squad has such good banter, you love to see it
Quick suggestion here, I came up with this rule because dreads got so behind: maybe make some spots on the board a safe spot, the rank where you can't derank. Basically, it would be spots where a loss and a tie are the same thing, and it has the flavor of working just like all safe ranks in the game.
My suggestion would be Silver 10 and Plat 10 be those spots. Only two to keep things interesting.
you truly are a content creator of the year
Hearthstone players will do anything but actually play the game. Love the vid!
Noah core. Noahified. Noahed.
Small steps for Raran, big step for the NCU (Noah Cinematic Universe)
Shouldn't roffle have also got the buff in his tier 4 deck?
A fun suggestion for this game would be randomly generated names for the decks when they’re assigned. The format could be (word) and then (class), with words being card types, keywords, archetypes, etc. So you’d roll a tier 4 deck and it’d pop out that you’re playing, like, demon rogue or combo priest.
"Days"? "Gold"? what is this? bazaar?
Chat, please do not complaint it is too “ Noah like “
We need all the high-effort “Noah Like” content we can get!!!!!
should just called the wheel. The Wheel Of Yogg.
With the amount of work put into the "board" and "Events" i feel like making an actual board game would have been easier! great work; more enjoyable than hearthstone tbf
I'm more tired of not being an attractive man sleeping peacefully in a bed surrounded by comfort and serenity.
Maybe you could use this concept but do one of the hearthstone adventures. Like the heist or the dungeon runs. Would be able to add alot more interactivity. But I still very much enjoyed this format
This is very high concept and I love it.
You should’ve named the “skip someone’s turn” “Free Hong Kong” instead
Let's go cant get enough slideshow games, I wonder if we will see Noah do mtg quizzes
The nice blizzard animations really make this game fun
I cannot believe that Dreads won this 100% skill game!
Love this, would love to see more
YEA YES YES YES MORE NOAH-LIKE CONTENT PLEASEE
Absolute Banger of a video
this was too much fun, I want to play this with my friends now.
Ok this is really good. Should have everyone turn on their face cam!!
People saying give players more agency. I get that, but I still like and appreciate this idea. Must have taken a lot of time to set this up.
It's funny how I just finished Magic the Noah video that also has Rarran in it.
19:40 Roffle lost but you moved him higher lol
Great video, i feel like it could be better by having more things in the shop and giving more gold which results in more interaction between players. Amazing concept
HearthstoneTheRarran
yooooo this is so cool good job dudeee
I think it would have been better if you couldnt win streak after diamond 5 just like Hearthstone 1
