0:57 pretty sure goblin autobarber is better than undercity. I find undercity is hard to use as the 1 damage ping is hard to trigger and hard to find a target for. Often, hero power does much the same thing and keeps a 1/1 weapon for 0 cards. autobarber is much easier to use too as you do not need to hit something on the turn you play it.
undercity valiant is a bit more useful in arena because of all the paladins and its still better than the heropower you get a 3/2 out on the field and deal 1 one damage to an enemy minion and because trump had the bucaneers he didnt need the barber
MisterCoolman29 how much rogue arena have you played? I have extensive experience playing rogue and many of my 12 win arenas are from playing tempo oriented rogue. From my experience, valiant is very weak. Buccaneers aren't even that good. They're like turn 3 2/1 and a 2/2 weapon. Unless your opponent is not a class with a 1 dmg hero power, it's almost like the average 1 drop which having too many of will contribute to running out of cards too early.
+ktktktktktktkt i actually would have picked the valiant instead of barber i dont rate it that high i think that the one damage can be very good in some situations and i think its a point of personal prefrences
+ktktktktktktkt I dont get it, you imply tempo oriented rogue is the best way to get good rogue arenas, which I totally agree with, but then you say valiant is very weak and barber is better... In my head, valiant is a more tempo oriented card than auto barber, do you not agree? Auto barber seems like a more value oriented pick, and was always kind of akward for me to play in tempo rogue arenas, since I had to have a weapon out before it to get a value out of it, so either I used hero power + barber on the same turn (arguably quite weak tempo-wise) or I had kept a weapon intact a few turns earlier (making for a quite weak turn).
0:08 pretty sure kvaldir is better than mana wraith here. ancient mage has some potential but it's too inconsistent. In my experience, going for an aggressive deck with rogue is a very effective strategy as long as you don't run out of cards before you win. I really don't think rogue is a strong late game class generally as it is lacking good hard removal. Assassinate is good for certain minions but a lot of late game minions aren't completely taken out by assassinate. Anyways, imo, rogue is best played as a tempo class and mana wraith is often detrimental to that whereas kvaldir can for a hero power which is a 1 mana net gain or a 2 mana net if the opponent missed turn 1.
+Oane Huisman Well the other rouge deck had some insane late game cards.... like deathwing (which kind makes any deck good late game if the opponent doesn't have removal for it) Or the potential... infinite value of Anubarak (or whatever it was called) Also I think Trump should probably value 1 drops slightly higher in rouge... simply because 1 drops are better in rouge thanks to them enabling combo cards.... like having a 1 drop with undercity valiant makes it a lot easier to trigger and makes it so you can trigger it on turn 3 if needed be
Refreshment Vendor is actually worth extra consideration in Rogue (especially in this deck with a weapon focus) because you'll be using your weapon so much to trade.
+IrAfro Whats best, he still had lethal after noticing that he just may have destroyed it. He had 9 damage on the board, dagger+posion+oil+cold_blood = 1+2+6+4 = 13, 13+9=22, 22>21, enemy had 21 hp.
hey trump, could we please get more Idraft videos? I know they require a lot of work, but they are excellent. also the new additions to draft picks could use your advice
I had a similar deck with rogue recently except I had two Auto barbers. I kept running into the situation of having the buccaneer and auto barber in my opening hand against mage and wondering what the correct order is to play them.
+luka djordjevic It's a bad card, which should probably be reworked to function like Entomb, but I like the concept behind it and the stat line is at least interesting.
My steps for winning arena 1. Pick Warlock 2. Pick Imp-losion 3. Double digit wins But seriously, if these conditions are met, arena is a breeze. For me it is anyway.
Lucas Reis Blood knight... it has such insane value if it ever hits... a 6/6 or 9/9 for 3 mana which also removed your enemy's divine shields... And even if it doesn't hit it isn't that bad... a 3/3 for 3 is pretty average... The reason Blood Knight was so good before was that everyone almost always picked Scarlet crusader (as it was the absolutely best 3 drop since all other 3 drops were 3/3) and also Sunwalker was often picked as well when possible so most decks had some divine shields
+Jo Viljar Haugstulen It's always good to pick up one blood knight if you get the chance in arena. It has mediocre stats for a 3 drop, but if you get to hit the divine shield effect, the payout is enormous. Low risk, high reward card.
Jongseong Lee "It has mediocre stats for a 3 drop," The stats aren't even that bad... the only neutral 3 drops that beat it in stats are ogre brute, spidertank and Dancing swords (there is also tinkertown technician if the effect triggers) So yeah it really is a card with such potential and rather low down sides (of course it also helps that paladin is one of the more popular classes)
Can someone please explain Trumps mindset here.. everytime he has a choice to pick faceless all he's thinking is "what MINE minion would i copy" I'm everytime I have played faceless I have allways used it on enemy minion.
I've been watching trumps arena vids since he began playing hs and I (allmost) allways understood his value picks but I have to say that he doesn't compensate into the faster arena meta, I guess that's the reason why he doesn't win as much anymore tbh. You should watch adwcta and merps (no offence friend :x)
Undercity Valiant over Spiteful Smith? Am I just crazy for slamming my face on the table there or do many people agree with Trump? Rogue is my favorite class so I've played Undercity Valiant plenty. It's about 90% of the time just a 3/2 whereas Spiteful is always a sturdy threat.
+Pedolf Titler he noted that smith is good, but I think his deck was lacking early game at that point. And while you make do with a weaker late game, with a weak early game, you often don't survive to see the late game anyway. Trump also put them to good use so far, his deck this time suits them well
+Pedolf Titler I'd pick the Valiant too, but I like going aggressive with Rogue and the Valiant helps a lot with grabbing and keeping the board early. Spiteful Smith is great, but sometimes too slow. I think it's more about the style you're comfortable playing with than anything else. Maybe you're playing Valiant just as a 3/2 so many times because you don't have enough early game to save it up some turns?
Not at all, it's easy to play around and is very hard to get it into a position where you can actually guaranteed get a creature above 3 mana to be killed to get any sort of value
Max Johnstone I guess you're right. It just seemed like it would be easy to get value if you play it late game combined with something like a six or seven mana-card. But like you said, it certainly would be easy to play around with several low cost minions on the board.
Guys can You help? I'm a F2P Hearthstone player who got the first 700g. Since I'm not donating to the system for cards, I have almost only basic card decks for priest and paladin (I have managed to craft Dr. Boom with all the rest cards, since he's good in everything ..almost). I don't know where to invest...Naxx, Blackrock or Explorers? Thanks
+oadakm ...and I can't find this on google because no one has been talking about it since League of Explorers has been launched..so only seeing that "Blackrock is better"??
This is the era of tempo. Back in the Beta Kidnapper was rated trash and Faceless was rated pretty damn high, but times have changed. The Kidnapper has become better than the Faceless as catching up has become impossible with Rogue.
Pedolf Titler Yup faceles is a slow play that requires you to be in a very strong or very weak postition to use and can be very easily punished. Kidnapper isn't the best card but it can either be used to slow down your opponent or stop your opponent from recovering.
+Michael Klein Oh look, a 8-8 taunt, a sunwalker, a belcher, a master jouster with luck being annoying. SURPRISE. It's a good card. Not the best, but good.
+Praise the Sun I'm gonna give you the same answer just like everyone else because I don't read, just like everyone else! :) effigy spawns gold cards, its a bug c;
Trump could you make a video or even change up your dialogue and explain WHY you choose those cards? Not so much as to just say "This one is better than the other ones" I dont really understand why you choose what you do. Im trying to anticipate which you would choose but i dont always get it right. I try to find value when im going into arenas and choosing cards but my decks fall short. I would like some help. Sincerely, the guy in rank 18. TEACH ME IN THE WAYS OF VALUUUUUUUUUEEEEE
Did you check his "iDraft" series? It's really educational. Every draft is explained and you have the time to think what you would have picked. You might want to check Hafu's twitch channel too, she only plays Arena and explains almost every pick (Sadly, she doesn't upload many draft, or even run, on UA-cam, but her twitch's past broadcast are available)
Wajsters Cold Blood isn't a synergy card, it's a buff card. The card is by nature designed to be good without having to mix with any other type of card. Also every other buff card usable in constructed is also great in arena.
"We Always like to see people get kidnapped... In heartstone" - that save haha
Lmao I looked in the comments to see if anyone noticed! Good thing I'm not the only one
mafia trump confirmed
"We always like seeing people get kidnapped" - Trump 2015
+Mathmachine It does sound like something Trump would say. Not this Trump... The other one
+Mathmachine I didnt see it in that way until he said "in hearthstone" and laughed out loud quite a bit xD hilarious
+Llorrac TN he's got my vote!
It feels like Paladins always have Minibot and either Crusader or Silent Knight with 5 mana. It's satisfying to see justice done.
0:57 pretty sure goblin autobarber is better than undercity. I find undercity is hard to use as the 1 damage ping is hard to trigger and hard to find a target for.

that's why blood knight > captain guy
Turn 5; 9-9 the dream boys
turn 4 8/8s the reality

watch the other rogue arena before this late game he kept winning so thinknur wrong
+Oane Huisman A sample space of one is always enough to make an informed decision.
+Oane Huisman
Well the other rouge deck had some insane late game cards.... like deathwing (which kind makes any deck good late game if the opponent doesn't have removal for it)
Or the potential... infinite value of Anubarak (or whatever it was called)

Does Trump not realize Buccaneer is a Pirate?
he realises a few seconds later
+Martin Ipsen Do you not realize there is more of the video left to watch before commenting?
***** Nah.
+TheMansterTruck It's amazing how many people comment before letting the video play out just a bit more xD
what part in the video was this?
Also i dont see any specific card that synergy with pirates either so not sure whats going on
The fish must be stuffed already and there's still at least a part 2.
27:40 - "Do you hear that? That is the sound of ultimate suffering."
"No bad cards"
Kidnapper finally acknowledged as an ok guy.
Refreshment Vendor is actually worth extra consideration in Rogue (especially in this deck with a weapon focus) because you'll be using your weapon so much to trade.
Totally agree, I feel like he disrespected it too much !
Trump missed lethal at 16:02 :C. He could have used Hero power > poison blade > oil > cold blood since he already had 13 damage on the board.
He noticed.
I don't think he even needed cold blood. 13 on board + 1 (hp) + 2 (dp) + 6 (oil) = 22 damage. Good spot though.
Yea he had more than enough and yea I made the comment before he said he noticed it xD
+IrAfro
Whats best, he still had lethal after noticing that he just may have destroyed it.
He had 9 damage on the board, dagger+posion+oil+cold_blood = 1+2+6+4 = 13, 13+9=22, 22>21, enemy had 21 hp.
hey trump, could we please get more Idraft videos? I know they require a lot of work, but they are excellent. also the new additions to draft picks could use your advice
"don't worrie loves the cavalrie is here" ....really blizz...you had to change it lol
+Crazy Buttboarding Guy why
Missed lethal at 15:57 I think. With the buccaneer, tinkers and cold blood combo.
12:33 piloted sky golem could spawn piloted shredder into doomsayer.. never give up that easily!
14:35 that helicopter in the top right
I had a similar deck with rogue recently except I had two Auto barbers. I kept running into the situation of having the buccaneer and auto barber in my opening hand against mage and wondering what the correct order is to play them.
that first game... trump needs to see a shrink and get help with his anxiety
When the paladin played 2 divine shields - valuegasm
Buccaneer is like a better goblin auto-barber. In some ways anyway :)
Most fantastic turtle specimen- Trump 2015
The 1,2,3,4,5 drops all on the first 5 cards hahah
"we always like seeing people get kidnapped" trump - 2015
should've used blood knight in the thumbnail, hes MVP this run
Better play at 18:00 would have been to redagger and poison and follow up next turn with the pirate and valiant
Am I the only one who loves kidnapper :D?
+luka djordjevic You monster!
+luka djordjevic i usually wear cologne .. work alone *
+luka djordjevic It's a bad card, which should probably be reworked to function like Entomb, but I like the concept behind it and the stat line is at least interesting.
+CuriousMoth well, every time i picked in arena it did some pretty good work, it's not a fantastic card by no means but it's better then it looks.
Eerie statue hand lock deck?
Blinded by light is a great battle song. FFXIII is good despite its problems.
I've just bought 5kg of pop-corn for microwaves.
Gonna watch Trump till I fall asleep! GOGO POPSTONE PARTY?
Or w8, is it Hearthcorn?
Sounds so good dude
I need a popstone party with old trump vids
New wing of explorers just came out
So Trump how do u feel about soon being the president of the US?
It's BM.
- Bad Trump 2015
My steps for winning arena
1. Pick Warlock
2. Pick Imp-losion
3. Double digit wins
But seriously, if these conditions are met, arena is a breeze. For me it is anyway.
What are the best arena class now that all LOE cards are out?
how did the first mage play piloted shredder and polymorph on 9 mana
misses lethal initially, still has lethal after trading a minion, goes for board control DansGame
That blood knight value
Is this an old arena run? Cus the banner is there.
Such a value blood knight XD
Has the glory times of the blood knight returned?
+Jo Viljar Haugstulen I had a 12 win run with shaman with a deck with Blood Knight. I faced 9 paladins. He won, by itself, 3-4 games.
Lucas Reis
Blood knight... it has such insane value if it ever hits... a 6/6 or 9/9 for 3 mana which also removed your enemy's divine shields...

And is a epic card which doesnt suck like doomsayer, hungry crab, mountain and clockwork giant, etc.
do an arena. when u draft close ur eyes and only pick the left side cards :D just for the funzy :D
What happens when you play Millhouse with Loatheb?
Millhouse + Loatheb = all spells cost 5
Loatheb + Millhouse= all spells cost 0
Can someone explain to me why the Oasis Snapjaw at 11:11 is golden ?
Hm does effigy turn them golden?
Can someone please explain Trumps mindset here.. everytime he has a choice to pick faceless all he's thinking is "what MINE minion would i copy" I'm everytime I have played faceless I have allways used it on enemy minion.
25:15 didn't he almost messed it up by playing the dark iron before the oil?
+Geo Noy No, he would have still had lethal even if the Oil landed on the dwarf.
oh right, guess i was tired ^^trogdorstrngbd
did he say "bomblobber now" because of that SCAMAZ moment?
Yes
Trump either undervalues Injured Kvaldir, or overvalues Mana Wraith.
I've been watching trumps arena vids since he began playing hs and I (allmost) allways understood his value picks but I have to say that he doesn't compensate into the faster arena meta, I guess that's the reason why he doesn't win as much anymore tbh.
You should watch adwcta and merps (no offence friend :x)
I almost screamed when he didn't picked southsea captain, he had 3 pirates at that time, why you have to be such party pooper trump :(
22:43 OMG Sniped!
Undercity Valiant over Spiteful Smith? Am I just crazy for slamming my face on the table there or do many people agree with Trump? Rogue is my favorite class so I've played Undercity Valiant plenty. It's about 90% of the time just a 3/2 whereas Spiteful is always a sturdy threat.

Hey friendly pro players, can you please explain me a only taunts priest deck that got me last game.
It wasnt arena.
11:00 Why is the turtle gold? In arena?
+GingerNinja232 It's a bug or something with effigy, same thing can happen with mulch giving your opponent a golden card.
+GingerNinja232 Effigy makes golden cards.

How come he snap picked bloodsail over buccaneer last time but chose buccaneer this time?
because he wanted to see how good bucaneer is in arena
+Uka39 Chat told him off for discounting it so quickly last time
+Uka39
As he just said - he might have undervalued buccaneer earlier, and picked him in this arena to test him.
Kidnapper over faceless ok.
+Michael Klein certainly is ok
This is the era of tempo. Back in the Beta Kidnapper was rated trash and Faceless was rated pretty damn high, but times have changed. The Kidnapper has become better than the Faceless as catching up has become impossible with Rogue.
+Pedolf Titler I still remember the time trump drafted kidnapper and I think went 12 wins? It was ages ago, but it was fun.

+Praise the Sun Normal Efigy spawn Golden cards, it is a bug i think but working everytime
Really? That's weird. Thanks.
+Praise the Sun It's not a bug. It works for mulch aswell. Any effects that replace a destroyed minion makes the new minion golden.
