    Botface deserves a mention in my opinion, just because I've seen so many people argue it's anything but a piece of garbage. You're paying 9 mana to either do nothing or burn your next card, and your opponent gets to choose. Or you can use Chemical spill, to burn your next card for just 5 mana, while also wasting 2 cards instead of just 1. And that shit started out as a 3/9! Botface is arguably a worse card than the original Rotface in almost every single aspect.

      @filipvadas7602 2 місяці тому +4

      Might be an unpopular opinion, but Rotface & Botface (try saying that 10 times fast) should have swapped costs and both should have Rush so that they're not "spend most of your mana to do nothing that turn"

      taunt is no longer cheat. rush is. any modern card w taunt should just have rush instead... thats hoe this game plays, and what your minions need to be doing basically to keep tempo turn to turn...

    THANK YOU FOR READING OUT THE CARDS. I listen to these as I sleep it's nice to have some context.
    Also i don't know if you say this often in this video (i am going to sleep) but no need to apologize for thinking, misspeak, reiterating etc. You often say "sorry" if you miss read a card it's no big deal just the nature of a presentation. Calling it out is more distracting than the mistake itself, plus you do such good videos and in so much variety and volume it's only natural. Just keep it up always love these. Still amazing how many topics you continue to cover. Ty

    Slagmaw worked really well for my Big Brann Warrior deck in that era. It was a pretty consistent on-board imminent threat that I could pull out ahead of expectation on turns I got my Excavates off. Either he was an early-game stat-bomb for pushing into the mid, or a *massive* card that had been gigantified several times over and, with removal largely gone, ended the match.

The card on its own has basically no practical use that is ever worth running in your deck if you can't cheat out Gnoll. Maybe we will see another reason to use that card in the future, but if Gnoll wasn't working in that exact form at the time, it would have seen 0 play up until now. Changing your hero for fringe misdirect purposes is not worth running a dead card in your deck. We know that objectively.

    Again maybe you wouldn't pick Snake Eyes for the first round but in arena you would like to see her in your potential discovery pool.

    A cool way to fix Stitchensew would be to have the minions it summons gain the accumulative stats of all the minions that were summomed before it (and maybe bonus effects?)
    So it would be:
    5 Cost- Its stats + Stitchensew
    3 Cost - Its stats + the 5 Cost + Stitchensew
    1 Cost - Its stats + the 3 Cost + 5 Cost + Stitchensew
    Turning Stitchensew into a snowball effect that requires your opponent to deal with it in other ways than just killing it cause that will LITERALLY just make it worse for them

    Honestly I think bad legendaries aren't terrible in specific scenarios, 1) The flavor of the card- if they make it a center piece in the story of the expansion (if there is one) or its a preexisting character for wow. 2) The effect alters the rules in an extreme way without extra copies or the need of any help from other cards (Luna's pocket galaxy, Guff and reno hero cards are a good all good examples). 3) It is testing a new mechanic before they release the mechanic (the example I have here is Charged Devilsaur I know its not legendary but on a similar concept with a legendary they have more room to work to test the mechanic they can have it be "better" than they think is fair and if its a flop they know they underestimated the mechanic and if it is broken they went to far. It's easier to tweak 1 broken card versus 15). 4) They have struggled to balance the class in recent sets so to help balance it make a legendary that is antisynergistic to reduce the pool of playable feels bad cards. 5) The card does something that class cannot do on its own or struggles to do on its own. 6) Finally it is made specifically to call back another card typical in the case of being bad it is a meme within the game or card infamous for being bad (normally this is done in reverse to make a more playable version, but we saw both ways a lot in whizbang).

    I know its a middle of the road deck, but I genuinely managed to use Tae'thelan in my lightshow deck. You get so many copies of lightshow you can end up with 4 in hand, play him, and throw all four, probably doing at least 5 6 7 and 8 sets of 2, for a total of 52 damage to everything your opponents have, and on the high end its 7, 8, 9, 10 WITH spell damage, making it 102 damage to everything. So, I just run lightshow like a control combo deck (the no other spells for rewind makes it a hard build tho.

    Snake Eyes is one of my favorite bad cards. I want her to be good so badly, imagine if the dice did something useful like they do in battlegrounds, giving you mana equal to what you rolled for the turn, or perhaps discounting cards.
    I like Putricide as a character, I think he's funny. All his cards are so bad though.
    I thought Tae'thelan was going to be a trap when I first saw him, he just seems very awkward to play. A lot of mage cards that generate cards already discount them, give you cheap cards, other cards that don't really care about being discounted, or dead cards that you wouldn't play if they costed 0.

      And the best part is that you don't even need to play that worse rogue deck for the effect

    maestra could maybe have a niche if you could select the class to pretend to be, since in metas where a specific class only did one deck you could pretend to be that in an attempt to trick mulligan,
    Say you have a combo deck, you pretend to be hunter, because say at that time all hunters go aggre, people assume it's some kind of aggro and mulligan for it,
    Ofc, this still fails to decks that don't care about you, and is mostly a minor mindplay

    Stitch-n-so is the phonetic pronounciation as it's a play on the three words: "stitch" "and" "sew".
