when you see a priest make a teacher 3/20 it is 100% obvious he is going to make it 20/20 :P why tb didnt trade into it to at least lower the value, not sure >
I'm very happy with your editing the breaks out. Thank you for doing that, it's a definite improvement over your previous uploads! Keep up the good work :D
I managed to defeat someone who played a Lightspawn and double Divine Spirit on it (and something else that I can't remember) that made it a 21/21 because he ignored my board and I managed to Bloodlust and a Windspeaker to drop him from full health to zero in one shot. It was the most satisfying thing I have ever done in videogames. I like to imagine the triumph to agony transition on the other guy's end would've been glorious.
In Hearthstone, you always assume that your opponent has the card they need. Playing a 7 attack creature? Assume there's a BGH or SW:D in hand. They're playing the cars that doubles health? Assume they have Inner Fire in their hand or they're going to top deck it next turn. This way you're never surprised when it happens and you know to bait those cards out before you start playing big things. For a mage, for example, always assume they have a poly and fireball in hand and try to bait all four of those out.
I am not sure, but I think a possibility at 1:06:10 was to play Faceless on the boar, and the silence the enemy boar with the owl. Not great, but survival.
Completely understand how he feels in this video. It is literally the most rage-inducing thing in all of Hearthstone to have your ramp deck denied so many times in a row. TotalBiscuit has every right to be ruthless.
Which streamer was he mentioning, "Winters?" or something like that. I usually browse around the Hearthstone Reddit and haven't even seen a mention of a streamer competing with Kripp with following. Closest are Sjow and Trump.
Said it in another video; tubers/streamers always run "funny decks", yet expect everyone else to run meta-optimal. Like they have the cornermarket on gimmicks. Worse yet they get salty when their gimmick decks don't work and people with good decks win by...well..having a better deck :p Reason i like to watch day9 tbh, the sodium levels are much healthier and he *actually* has fun playing. Most others just claim to "have fun", still take it 99% serious.
Kentauros1991 Well i run a spellbreaker and 0 silence in my priest deck that's built around silence(winrate is above average) and some in my "having fun" decks. The point is that if you're running a novelty/gimmick deck, it's entirely possible that others are too. Then add new players and people who are just trying things out and you got yurself a situation where judging someone elses deck, especially when running a bad gimmick deck, is just silly.
So, the guy actually had 5 hp, enemy with 7/1 drake on board, no taunt, 3 mana, SW: D in the hand... and he played a Dark Cultist. Apparently, he is a fucking prophet and he forsaw the inevitability of The Glorious BM Deathwing.
Was thinking this too, it's rank 20, there are two absolutes at rank 20, people with really good decks, and people who are JUST LEARNING TO F*CKING PLAY THE GAME being stuck at rank 20. I get he's on a fairly long bender of losing, but that should be par for the course for his gimmick decks. But half time I wonder about him, "OMG why are they not playing decks like everyone else!???" then "OMG they're playing the same damn decks as everyone else!"
Against the Hunter, he should have attacked the Alchemist with the bombs instead. Even if they killed nothing else, it would have kept him alive one more turn.
yeah but realise that playing against the hunter you are on a clock. So if you cant win before he casually hero power you to death there's no difference.
I think TB has some very biased opinions of the Titan X, and just Nvidia in general. If a leak is to be believed, AMD's upcoming 390x will be slightly faster than the Titan X. (Take it with a grain of salt, of course, but it is a possibility.) Also, Titan X does not have double precision. AMD won the last flagship fight. Now the 980 is out, and when the 390x comes out, they'll likely win it again.
TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit Ah, I see. So you took the "completely disregard several of his statements so I can make my snappy comment!" approach. Not only did I say "If a leak is to be believed," keyword being _believed_, I also said "Take it with a grain of salt," so I don't think the response I got was warranted. I have watched a lot of your stuff, including nearly all the episodes of the Co-Optional Podcast, and while I may not agree with you on a lot of things, such as anime, graphics cards, and backseat gaming (Seriously, when we scream at our screen when you do misplays, it's because we can see them as you're doing them, not because we look in fucking hindsight.), that doesn't mean I don't enjoy your videos, and that every time I say something _slightly_ against you, that I'm a troll or hater with nothing valid to say. Also, the leaks are sourced by Chiphell, so there's that. Again, take with a grain of salt, but it's not like it's just some random dude on a forum speculating.
***** I think you got slightly aggressive there for the reply, but I think you're alright with saying what you did.. Except for the "Very biased" part, TB himself said that Nvidia is reliable (Which it honestly is for the most part.) and he also expressed that if AMD outperforms Nvidia then him changing to AMD is also a possibility. It was a balanced opinion and Nvidia at this point does have the more powerful cards in the market. Although personally I'm more of a AMD person so I think once the R380x comes out or depending on the price R390x's come out, I might get one of those.
KoinGaming AMD does not outperform Nvidia right now, mainly because their counter product simply isn't out yet. However, they still won last time with the 290x. It's all well and good that TB says he'll change if one out-performs the other, but he never did. Also, he said that if you want the absolute top, go Nvidia. Again, simply not true, at least as far as being used as a principle, which is how he meant it. Also, don't call me aggressive when all he had to offer to the conversation was mockery.
The real kicker was badmouthing crendors decks when TBs own decks aren't 100% committed to the gimmick either(mostly by coming up with ridicilous reasons how it "fits" the deck). I don't mind TBs content most the time, but i really hate those kind of hypocritical people and at times TB is the worst at that. Edit: Such as crititique towards smurfing, coming from a man who plays "all legendary" decks at rank 20-19 and in one cast actually said "let's annoy some noobs".
Have you actually seen Crendors decks? Even if you disagree with why TB puts a card in, he has an argument for it. Crendor has knife jugglers in legendary and angry chicken decks...
TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit Well said, thanks for actually giving reasons to why it's bullshit and not just randomly spouting profanities like an usual youtube troll(that you hate so much). And to be fair, apologies if i did offend in some major way, but it is a personal opinion on public content. I'm not trying to start a war, but perhaps it's a good idea to read and see if there's a grain of truth in it. As said, i like your content(have since early cata days), but i don't like the attitude at times.
lol why are people getting so worked up over a deck like this?! He is playing it for fun, not really any other reason. its a gimmick, not competitive. . And as im typing this im realize that this video is 2 years old. So. well then. thats interesting. right?!
For fuck's sake lol does anyone actually play any non-aggro decks, not found on the internet anymore?! And look at the rank! Sorry but hearthstone's gone to shit. No one plays the game anymore; they just play someone elses meta hand. Fucking bots lol
Yeah I haven't played in months, I got to rank 3ish some seasons ago and that burned me out completely, it got sooo dull playing against the same decks over and over, might as well have been playing the same person over and over again. I may return when blackrock expansion hits, as when the 'meta' gets thrown up into the air, it's actually somewhat fun because everyone is experimenting... when it gets all settled down again it becomes boring.
xAugustx11 That's the truth right there man! Especially the one about playing the same person lol that's why I call 'em bots. Tbf it ain't Blizzards fault, the community itself could be to blame? What a buncha boring basterds lol
Misa Pheonix Honestly I am not certain, I think it's just the nature of card games. I am not sure what blizz can do apart from bring in more cards, from what we've seen so far of the new blackrock cards, none of them are blatantly OP; they're just interesting. Which I think is the right way to go, and should've been what they had done with the last couple expansions. Rather than bring in cards that totally eclipse current ones and make them obsolete, they instead need to bring in cards with new mechanics and quirks to add to the diversity. I feel that there are too many cards at the moment that are bad, and thus never used or simply can't be used effectively (basically in need of buffing). No one card should be in every way better than another card of it's tier, they should just be better in certain themes, which is true in hearthstone, but not completely. The more they add to the diversity and also make obsolete cards viable again, the more diverse the community and meta will be 'able' to be, as people want to play what's viable.
Sean Su Sorrie buddy, but it seems I'm such a genuine player than I don't even know what these default deck names mean lol Although it does sound alot like druid zoo deck, which is as dirty as any of those lol
Not really. Experience teaches you when you are almost certainly going to lose; it's generally better to just concede and move on to a game where you have a chance of winning.
Hearthstone is so shitty now everybody uses a deck somebody else made and they use stupid reason to prove that they are right to do so and that you can to! Because I totally have the money to buy packs until I have all those meta cards and the time to do nax and I have the mind of a idiot who ignores half the game as in the MAKE A DECK part!
You know I have this theory that a lot of the people acussed of net-decking are actually just using good cards in their deck I mean i have a deck that uses all the summon minions upon death effects (it gets board control then either wares them down or blood lusts and ends it quickly) and if I get certain cards it looks like a netdeck (havest, shredder, belcher, my spells) so I wonder sometimes if the deck I am facing is actually a net-deck. Cause it seems to me like most people call anything with dr boom (or any other good card for that matter) in it or that has any logic to it a net-deck and I just don't think that's the case but then again I don't ever go above rank 10 and just got my dr boom last night so maybe I am wrong but I guess it doesn't really matter it's only game after all if you don't actually enjoy it you can always find something else to do (also if you do like hearthstone make time for nax it has some pretty fun battles and gives you some good cards)
James Nixon sadly I don't have the time or money for nax and yes even though there are good non-netdecks they are outnumbered by stolen decks and netdecks
Well, such is the way of things in meta. Similarly in SC2 you have builds that work and builds that don't. The main advantage of SC2 over HS, and the reason why I don't play HS, is that in SC2 you choose your build during the game and you aren't reliant on pre-build deck.
I used to use a net deck. I still take suggestions from the internet if needed for a quest, but I try not to. I'm a gimmicks player, plain and simple, not really looking for wins. And my favorite part of the game is the adventures.
''That's it, we lose!''
*pulls Rag*
''We got Rag, we'll be fine.''
"Unbelievable levels of sodium" Lol'd so hard.
That Death Note. XD
That priest had some serious luck, gotta love it when that stuff happens.
when you see a priest make a teacher 3/20 it is 100% obvious he is going to make it 20/20 :P why tb didnt trade into it to at least lower the value, not sure >
I love the fact that he got so mad against the most basic priest gimmick while playing a gimmicky deck. I had fun watching that :)
I find it also funny whenever he says 'WHO RUNS THIS CARD'. because im around the same level 20-18 and i run those cards too :P.
sega saturn shiro, sega saturn shiro
sega sa-tuuuuuurn shirooooo!!!!!
I love his gimmicks so much that I would call my son micheal bay just to blow shit up. XD
I'm very happy with your editing the breaks out. Thank you for doing that, it's a definite improvement over your previous uploads! Keep up the good work :D
Thank you for uploading these Totalbiscuit Livestreams (Unofficial) A lot of people appreciate it :)
Your voice and the game SFX are good enough - the BG music is killing it for me.
I managed to defeat someone who played a Lightspawn and double Divine Spirit on it (and something else that I can't remember) that made it a 21/21 because he ignored my board and I managed to Bloodlust and a Windspeaker to drop him from full health to zero in one shot. It was the most satisfying thing I have ever done in videogames. I like to imagine the triumph to agony transition on the other guy's end would've been glorious.
"That's more of a good thing, I wouldn't use that"- TB 2015 :P
I have a twitch sub to TB but my internet is crap, ty for uploading it in something that doesn't make my computer have a heart attack :)
That Deathwing play, i would have loved to see mindcontrol there. :D
In Hearthstone, you always assume that your opponent has the card they need. Playing a 7 attack creature? Assume there's a BGH or SW:D in hand. They're playing the cars that doubles health?

For a mage, for example, always assume they have a poly and fireball in hand and try to bait all four of those out.
Shame the salt flats got flooded in cataclysm, if blizzard made one of those saltscale crocs into a card, people would run it just for BM.
Sobergrey Oh yes, please, PLEASE that NEEDS to be in the game.
Sobergrey But what about poor Salty Dog?
Skelatox
I honestly forgot that card existed.
Hence "poor Salty Dog".
***** 10 mana 0/1:
No cooldown on emotes
When ever you emote, gain +1 attack.
I am not sure, but I think a possibility at 1:06:10 was to play Faceless on the boar, and the silence the enemy boar with the owl. Not great, but survival.
Completely understand how he feels in this video. It is literally the most rage-inducing thing in all of Hearthstone to have your ramp deck denied so many times in a row. TotalBiscuit has every right to be ruthless.
watch youtube videos with two versions of it with about a 1 second delay between them is hilarious :P
Two Titan-X?
That's the most overkill thing I've ever heard.
lolzomgz1337 how about 3
Blinndsnipers36 3 Titan X's have issues with tessellation and freezing.
Which streamer was he mentioning, "Winters?" or something like that.
I usually browse around the Hearthstone Reddit and haven't even seen a mention of a streamer competing with Kripp with following. Closest are Sjow and Trump.
"Who the hell runs _____!?"
But... All you play is gimmick decks...
Said it in another video; tubers/streamers always run "funny decks", yet expect everyone else to run meta-optimal. Like they have the cornermarket on gimmicks. Worse yet they get salty when their gimmick decks don't work and people with good decks win by...well..having a better deck :p
Reason i like to watch day9 tbh, the sodium levels are much healthier and he *actually* has fun playing. Most others just claim to "have fun", still take it 99% serious.
Also worth mentioning, as noticed later in the video; "Who the hell runs spellbreaker", then continues to put spellbreaker into his own deck ;)
Yes, but the other guy doesn't play a gimmick deck (with 0.01 confidence level?..), so what is this really, really lousy card doing in his deck?
Kentauros1991
Well i run a spellbreaker and 0 silence in my priest deck that's built around silence(winrate is above average) and some in my "having fun" decks. The point is that if you're running a novelty/gimmick deck, it's entirely possible that others are too.

Cozmosus Silence is rare, and Ironbeak is just horrible.
It works better with the 1/7 shield guy, double health twice and health to damage !
-"Unbelievable levels of sodium!"
TotalBiscuit. 2015
So, the guy actually had 5 hp, enemy with 7/1 drake on board, no taunt, 3 mana, SW: D in the hand... and he played a Dark Cultist. Apparently, he is a fucking prophet and he forsaw the inevitability of The Glorious BM Deathwing.
wow that whole bullshit fixing the audio sure did ruin the video quite a lot...
Run Silence because it works well with pyro, great way of dealing with shredders
:D Funny TB was surprised ot see the combo I play the most often.
Can you say when the stream was live in the description, would be nice.
The salt is so real in this one.
Why is TB complaining about people running weird/useless cards in rank 20.
Was thinking this too, it's rank 20, there are two absolutes at rank 20, people with really good decks, and people who are JUST LEARNING TO F*CKING PLAY THE GAME being stuck at rank 20. I get he's on a fairly long bender of losing, but that should be par for the course for his gimmick decks. But half time I wonder about him, "OMG why are they not playing decks like everyone else!???" then "OMG they're playing the same damn decks as everyone else!"
Mike B Because he expects others to do the same thing.
anyone else notice the segata sanshiro music only cus of the death battle last week?
13:00 Now TB knows how Seto Kaiba felt wen Droopi-yo pulled Exodia on him... Das som mad RNG right there! :D
bah too enchanted with his gimmic deck, then actually surviving to play em.
i lost it when the priest played a feugan
Thaurissan can actualy salvage bad neighbours as a deck. It propably still gonna be bad even for gimmick, but useable-ish.
Ah it's nice to watch TB getting wrecked, he takes it so well :p
I KNEW THE DEATH NOTE MUSIC MMMMM
I feel cliche and somewhat dirty for making this joke but... We're gonna need a bigger ramp
Violet Teacher got swole
Against the Hunter, he should have attacked the Alchemist with the bombs instead. Even if they killed nothing else, it would have kept him alive one more turn.
yeah but realise that playing against the hunter you are on a clock. So if you cant win before he casually hero power you to death there's no difference.
TotalBiscuit has some of the coolest music.
2:50, death note?
Shane Parish Ah TB confirmed my suspicions. Didn't expect him to address it!
TB has the worst luck I've ever seen.
It took reaching rank 12 with full demonlock to reignite the passionstone. The meta has gone to shit, the community will kill this game.
That death note theme!
13:00 PJSalt is real :D
I think TB has some very biased opinions of the Titan X, and just Nvidia in general. If a leak is to be believed, AMD's upcoming 390x will be slightly faster than the Titan X. (Take it with a grain of salt, of course, but it is a possibility.)

I want to fight tb and let him experience my old school warlock deck with the epic card synergy :P
Death Note opening
Dust IV SO I wasn't the only one who got surprised by Jpop on his stream.
Ego Alter Me too, I was thinking that my browser was going nuts until he mentioned it.
Lol i feel tb's pain here! :P been stuck on 20 for seasons at a time due to decks the likes of what you see here today folks!
Really? I'm currently at rank 10 without really trying, using a deck with 1 legendary and only a few rares and epics in it.
Sad to say but, I get no enjoyment out of this game anymore.
Yeah, it's fun but after a while you just get fed up. More interesting to watch imo
Sobergrey I blame Aggro Hunter, personally.
***** I blame goblins vs gnomes, that whole expansion just ruined it for me
Alphon Stellex Aggro Hunter was made much stronger with GvG though >.>
***** I blame Blizzard. :P
The real kicker was badmouthing crendors decks when TBs own decks aren't 100% committed to the gimmick either(mostly by coming up with ridicilous reasons how it "fits" the deck). I don't mind TBs content most the time, but i really hate those kind of hypocritical people and at times TB is the worst at that.
Edit: Such as crititique towards smurfing, coming from a man who plays "all legendary" decks at rank 20-19 and in one cast actually said "let's annoy some noobs".
To be fair, he doesn't make alt accounts to get to rank 20. He actually plays and gets stuck around there with the gimmicks, which is not smurfing.
117superdude
Well yeah, that's fair, but to the opponent the end result is rather same; some guy with all the cards ruining your day.
TheCrosshare bullshit
Have you actually seen Crendors decks?
Even if you disagree with why TB puts a card in, he has an argument for it.
Crendor has knife jugglers in legendary and angry chicken decks...

a 20/20 teacher! wtf!
More fearsome than my biology teacher!

Are you kidding me? If he hadn't stopped he would have had a heart attack due to over dose of sodium
He doesnt give up, he admits defeat

Hearthstone is so shitty now everybody uses a deck somebody else made and they use stupid reason to prove that they are right to do so and that you can to!
