Better get used to Shadowverse and Duelyst.
Eternal Card Game is the new card game babe. Steam of course.
Shadowverse is becoming less fun with all the braindead aggro and Daria running around.
Is duelyst still relevant? i played it when it first came out i thought it died down
Matheus sick burn, brah.
Duelyst is actually hella fun and it's super diverse atm. You may just be bad at it.
This video pretty much sums up why I stopped playing Standard and only play Arena now.
JARY ISM excatly
JARY ISM Arena is a mess too though. Curve out as best you can, play around nothing and cross your fingers, and If you're lucky go twelve wins. God I can't wait for balance implementations they're planning for arena...
the same here bro. i was always constucted player, now I don't even have a patient to go rank 5. I went to 10 and playing arena as many times as I can
Arena's pretty crappy rn too. If you're not Warlock, Rogue, or Mage... gl getting past 6 wins.
NukaKatz lol i play zoo in standard and i cant get a streak. i play zoo in wild and i get on a streak from 25 to 11
I was getting angry just watching this... Guess that's why I've pretty much stopped playing the game.
Boyzby I play hearthstone since beta, but finally I have uninstalled this shit because of those retards.
I was getting angry at poor play as opposed to pirate warrior
T3 tap instead of play a 2/3 proceeds to complain wtf pirate warrior isnt a value matchup you fucking clown
Yeah I mostly watch videos now instead of playing lol
Aravash playing 2/3 does nothing against next turn korkron. way better to save it and play it for taunts. just analyze that game and tell me that playing the 2/3 there would have helped.
You know Kripp is nothing close to a good constructed player right?... he makes shitty plays in most of his constructed videos, he's better off sticking to arena if he wants them views
"The only thing I would change is that when you have patches in your deck and you lose you should actually lose 3 stars. That would be fair" :D That was brilliant! :D
then we would have them all at rank 20 and all free to play would quit
Don't they already, since they can't make it far anyway? The Meta is so strict home-brewed and fun decks is basiclly off the table in ranked.
I would switch the deck if I had to lose so much that I'm rank 20 :) but that's only me
Screw rank 20 they exist in casual :D
niby tak....
Shittier meta than even shamanstone... never thought I'd say that ever.
secretstone was shittier, with turn 1 to 8 with 8 turns with insane tempo and value, you should go to wild and get rank 5 and get cancer easy
It's still shamanstone lol, aggro shaman is the top deck right now.
Chris K. shaman is still on top, we just have new cancer. ita like lung cancer VS throat cancer. pick which 1 yu rather have
oh shut the fuck up, holy shit. do you morons realize this is exactly what you said last season? and the season before? and before? and before?! 'i never thought i'd say that op meta was better than anything else but...,' well ya know what?! I KNEW YOU'D SAY IT. YOU ALWAYS SAY IT. IT WILL ALWAYS BE SAID! BY YOU!
are u ok bud? do u need help?
Most times, Kripp isn't justified with his saltiness. This time, I think he is.
I have reached legend with pirate warrior today. But something is strange. When a shaman plays feral spirit, I can't attack face. Is this a bug? Please help me!
1:19
Skipp, did you actually have hobbies? I mean you are late today.

Pirate warrior? K, thanks. Guess I'll grind my path of exile characters. See ya next expansion!
Daniel Gabriel Secară thing is they won't be gone. I don't think any of their cards are being rotated out
You're right, because all of its main cards are from gadgetzan and classic, so pirate warrior wont go away for at least whole year.
Daniel Gabriel Secară PC or xbone version 😂
The only card that is rotating out is finley and in some versions argent horserider (i think that's what the card is called). And not even one of the cards has that big of an impact, finley does, but well.. not that BIG that it would just make the deck useless.
Also, reno is rotating out, so there will be like no counterplay to that except other aggro decks or insane luck.
Even so, HS team will just introduce more busted, "must have to win" cards. Every expansion does this, so i won't worry too much about pirate warrior in the next expansion.
Its what the expansion introduce that worries me, this game feels like its dying (in terms of player population).
Hey Kripp, I think that we, as a community, allow you to post other
games, be it Shadowverse/Faeria or other non-CCG/non-Blizzard games.
Everyone with some knowledge on card games have realized that
Hearthstone is terrible around GvG. Now even scrubs are dropping the
game since Karazhan. You're obviously not having too much fun with it
anymore. Play what you want to play and don't fear the teenager
dislikes for the first month.
Yagi "downvotes" kek
I think you meant "children", not "teenager."
Would be nice if Kripp release vids of him playing other games off-stream as his third daily videos, even if it is just voice over. The only videos worth watching from his YT this day are either salty or non-HS ones.
I'm all about more PoE or ARPG games in general, like Grim Dawn or something.
Did Kripp not like Elder Scrolls: Legends? I don't watch the stream.
Not just ARPGs, even the recent star wars force arena is more interesting and has more interactivity than the current state of HS.
I think Kripp have said it himself, he is more interested in theory crafting than actually playing it.
cr89hw teenagers are children.
Pirate warriors may be the most horrible soulless beings from the deepest depths of hell's abyss, but that makes beating them by just playing Reno when they're about to kill you all the more satisfying. The downsides of this are that you often don't even get the chance to play Reno or they can still kill you after even you've played Reno...
well the problem is I lost with reno in my starting hand cause I died by turn 5... so no reno is not enouth at times
Wouter van den Broek Reno is rotating out very soon
TheTomoyaNagase I already edited that part :p
no its not, your just wasting your life, would rather waste my time with something else than a shitty game
BETTER GET USED TO THE GREAT WEASEL TUNNELER ! As soon as the old sets rotate out it's my time to shine !
Fuck off you dirty rodent.
You will never replace me on turn 1.
patches is dr. 1
Slacker Magician "who goes THAR" is Dr. 1, Patches just makes the deck frustratingly consistent.
Um, no it's not. Small Time Buccaneer is Dr. 1 patches is bad I agree but STB is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse of a threat. Honestly I'd make it to where weapons couldn't hit face. I think that would kill pirates altogether.
Patches is the boom bot.
Philip Vaughn Agreed. Small time is the only reason pirate warrior can kill a doomsayer on turn 2
Just make STB a 2 attack character when weapon equipped.. Boom solved issue
I have a idea for a new minion let's make a new 2 drop so its not op let's also make it a totem pirate so it has a little bit of syngy its can be a 7/7 charge that can't be targeted so it can fit better in control decks you know though we have to give it a drawback so it have a text effect this card can only attack a player.that way it can't be op and clear the bored of minions or every control deck would run it
Coffee Break uhh ok
EZPZ: Reno Jackson, 5 mana 3/5
Coffee Break lol your misspellings make it so great haha
Kripp is doing god's work by not so subtlety hinting to the devs to nerf this garbage.
how do you release 2 broken "1" drop pirates in one set, one complacently broken 1/1 charge and one mostly unfair 3/2 for 1 without drawback.
expressrobkill Patches isn't that bad. But holy crap, why would you make a 1 mana 3/2? Its such an obscene card. It, tunneling trogg, and mana worm just turn into a 1 mana pyroblast plus remove a 4 mana or less minion.
This basically, the fact that it is also a pirate and draws patches makes it a really annoying card.
small time buccaneer is the bigger problem.
Agreed, just make it +1 attack and not +2
stb is Dr.1, Patches is the boom bot
that 2nd last game is everything wrong with the current game, fucking hell
So what exactly was wrong in that game?
Surviving for 6 turns in order to win isnt fun.
DreadStare Hyper agro decks are insanely powerful and dominant in the meta. They have been for a while now. They require very little skill and misplays are rarely punished. They are also very cheap decks to make, so they are popular everywhere. New players will pick up the deck and win games they shouldn't have won. The better player loses more than they should.
Kongaii You mean it's unfair?
Probably the better player loses because of unskilled decks, yeaaaaah, sounds like salt
Last time I was this early Hearthstone was actually good.
станимир станев yet here you are watching hearthstone videos
the minute they come out. lol
It's a joke lol
I love how a turn 1 coined doomsayer is to late.
Top card designing blizzard
I'm posting this from Mexico because that gringo Trump deported me as soon as he got sworn into presidency FeelsBadMan
Mexicanerino Kripperino ahhahahaha, the best Kripperino.
Well, bad hombres should be deported. Make America great again and all that shit.
Maybe Trump was still upset that you beat him in the first Hearthstone Tournament. :D
Mexicanerino Kripperino Lmao that's why you legally immigrate. Fuck off outta here if you ain't legal.
Im not trying to sound bitchy or anything but has anyone else just given up on HS? Ive played since Naxx but have no desire to do this shitt anymore
bat country after almost 3 years i stopped playing hearthstone like 2 weeks ago., I moved to elder scrolls legends just because casual and ladder is full of these retards, not fun anymore.
bat country I've also been playing since naxx and dropped about 2 weeks ago. My buddies and I now play mtg and enjoy it much more.
mtg is a thousand times better than hearthstone
only problem: the online mtg experience is way worse than hearthstone
you got to play mtg with real cards at a table
Greenreaper elder scrolls legends looks so weird and clunky.
im looking forward too see what they do with gwent from witcher 3
Stopped playing 2 or 3 weeks ago. After this expansion I realized that it´s never going to get any better, the devs of HS will never learn, they´ll probably print a 0 mana charge minion next expansion.
0:04 - [Talkerino]
1:20 - Gadgetzan day 1: the realization
4:04 - just a speed bump
8:44 - what it takes
12:20 - the race to turn 6
15:20 - fight fire with... smoke
Before Patches was released Pirate Warrior was actually o good model for Aggro decks since it was a good deck that would actually get screwed by poor hands occasionally.
Now there's too much synergy to have a poor hand.
And to think the ONLY deck that can counter them is about to lose the ONLY card that allowed them to beat it.
But at least there's class diversity, herp de derp.
Turn 1: Small-Time Bucaneer, Coin, N'Zoth's First Mate
Turn 2: FIery War Axe
Turn 3: Bloodsail Raider, Southsea Deckhand
Turn 4: Kor'kron Elite
Turn 5: Leeroy Jenkins and LETHAL!
What's wrong?
Better get used to Shadorverse
What i miss in hearthstone is the classic minion that exist in every card game - giant health minion with "Taunt, cannot attack".
poWMod Mirrors just thaugt about this right now, 3 mana 3/9 taunt, cant attack.
I want people to realize something, Reno is the only thing in the game that allows you to sometimes win against aggro. The card literally heals you to full health, think about how strong that actually is, and in some games that is still not enough. If you have to print a heal card that powerful to combat the aggro decks, then maybe there is a bigger problem with card design. You shouldn't have to have double life just to stand a chance.
1:22 4:03 4:14 4:25 5:41 5:51 6:06 6:37 7:21 7:46 7:55 8:18 9:02 10:20 10:45 11:11 12:20 12:41 13:10 16:11 16:48
Holy shit, turns out pirate warrior is preeeeeeetty OK.
I just can't believe how the Hearthstone dev team looked at what cards are in standard and said "Yeah, this is good for the overall health of the game!" I mean, was there like no playtesting to make sure one or two kinds of decks wouldn't be practically unbeatable? I just really hope either this leads to some cards being nerfed or that come next adventure/expansion there's more answers.
I wouldn't be surprised if half of these are bots
Yep. I confirmed that. Played in Asia server few days ago and met lots of bots with warriors. What the hell is wrong with people these days. :(
18:32 He knew he was done , didn't even bother to hit for 3 , he knew leeroy was waiting him xD ^.^
Pirate Warrior is why I haven't played Hearthstone for a while and have no intention to play any time soon. Fucked the game up.
go play Wild format then :)
Bitznobobs then secret paladin fucks you. cant escape the rape
J.N. Palomado Hey! That rhymes :D
We thought it couldnt get any worse than Miracle Rogue... then came Face Hunter
We thought it couldnt get any worse than Face Hunter... then came Undertaker Hunter
We thought it couldnt get any worse than Undertaker Hunter... then came Patron Warrior
We thought it couldnt get any worse than Patron Warrior... then came Secret Paladin
We thought it couldnt get any worse than Secret Paladin... then came Aggro Shaman
We thought it couldnt get any worse than Aggro Shaman... then came Pirate Warrior
I wonder what Blizzard will do next to try and fuck over Hearthstone
Raza priest
After raza came jade druid, after jade came quest roge, after quest came cubelock and thats where we are now
Odd Paladin?
@@NailGunZero after odd paladin came odd rogue.... after odd rogue came Star aligner druid.... after star aligner druid came odd warrior
How long can this go on?
Just played against a ridiculously insane Pirate warrior where his starting hand on turn 1 was: x2 N'Zoth's first mate, x2 Small time buccaneer and Sir Finley Mrglton. From whom he got Steady Shot.
Seriously the current Ranked is cancer. Pirate, Dragon and any deck with Kazakus control it all.
at 8:35 kripp's dog laughs at his master failure... I guess he plays pirate warrior too...
I think it's time we get used to these strong aggro decks. I mean there hasn't been as single expansion since naxx that we haven't had that one fast op deck. For the last few expansions it was aggro shaman which everyone hated and now it's pirate warrior so we better get used to it and stop complaining.
MiMiC I found cthun warrior works best against pirate bitches
Andrés Villagra wtf is wrong with you
Sorry for my manners, I'm just kidding. I don't even play this game anymore.
Yeah yeah, the profile of this shit define what you are in reality... You must be a smart guy between your own people... Fucking obese piece of shit.
Ignorance is not knowing something because it was never taught to you. Stupidity is knowing something, but ignoring it. Which one do you think you fall under? mr.andres
9:07 I think he can also clear with N'zoth's first mate and Southsea deckhand
Few months later who would said that you will need reno in opening hand against warrior xDD
I remember before, you could basically assume any warrior was control or patron. Now they put hunter to shame.
Chuck Schuldiner predicted the rise of Patches and Pirate Warrior all the way back in 1998! Just consider these snippets from the lyrics of SPIRIT CRUSHER (appropriate name I know!):
It comes from the depths
of a place unknown to the
keeper of dreams
and
No guilt, it feeds in plain sight
Spirit Crusher
Stay strong and hold on tight
Spirit Crusher
Get Moosed to it.
that second to last win was so satisfying
"How guys how's it going?" I'm doing go- "Kripp here, and today I wanna ..."
what about make small time buccaneer effect to be battlecry. that way you won't play him on turn 1 and will have to equip a weapon before you play it and get the buff.
genius
Pirate Warrior in a nutshell:
played a game as a dragon priest. Played reno on turn 5 with coin with 6 health left having healed for 4 and had my brann killed. Played 3/6 taunt next turn which got killed along with reno. lost turn 8 after having taken over 80 damage across my hero and my minions. F*** Pirate warrior
8:38 Krips dog is laughing at him
I feel no urge to play ranked ever with this meta.
making bucaneer if you have a weapon gain 1 attack would fix things more than you would think
So this current Pirate Warrior is almost the exact same deck as before Gadgetzan, there was a pirate/weapon warrior deck that made it to rank 1 legend, and it was pretty much the best face deck we had during the Shamanstone period.
It was already a really good deck, insanely infuriating. Being able to double heroic strike for 8 damage burst, mortal strikes, leeroy/chargers. It was good, if Shaman's weren't dominating the meta, it probably would have been dominating it, so Blizz in it's infinite wisdom thought... you know what this deck needs? 3 insane 1 drops!
I don't think there should ever be a deck that can play 3 cards in 2 turns and deal 9-12 damage before the end of turn 2 with pretty much no counter.
9:18 I remember seeing an article recently that said that doomsayer might be in need of a nerf because it's nearly impossible to stop it from triggering and it's way too good against aggro decks, and I just laughed because of all the times I've seen this happen.
Tried Priest, and played (on the draw) turn 1 removal, turn 2 heal, turn 3 Injured Blademaster, turn 4 removal and heal, turn 5 Holy Nova, turn 6 - dead. Healthy game is healthy.
And again. And again at casual. Okay, Brode, you win, I quit.
That moment when I decided to go with Pirate deck upon my returning to HS and after looking for a "how to play it" video I found this and now I don't want to play it anymore.
Thanks for the video, subbed.
Best way to fix heroic strike is to make it: During this turn your weapon gains 4 attack.
My favorite part is easily:
"Who goes thar!?"
"Mhm."
"Who goes thar!?"
"Mhm"
This expansion had some real potential. Hand buffing looked fun, the tri class stuff looked fun, Kazakus looked fun. Oh well.
Here's a new text for Blizz should consider for Reno: If your opponent has Patches in their deck, Reno Jackson costs 1 mana and will be returned to your hand after you play him. :)
We need a 1 Mana 1/4 taunt that says "If this is in your deck when your opponent summons a minion with taunt, summon this. " Thank you for playing Patches. You may concede now.
kripp saves his cards and tabs quit a lot vs hyper aggro... pretty stupid
i was like that too, why do he taps when he has already 4-5 cards in hand
Random guy RANK 20>Kripp (proplayer)
OKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKEKKEKEKKEKEEEEEEEEE
Bjarke Rugsted tapping increases your chances of drawing board clears taunts and healing before you die. That chance is much more valuable then 2/4/6 life, which a pirate warrior will burn through in no time flat anyway
listen fools i know how to play iv gotten legend 3 times with decks iv created myself... kripp straight up SUUUCKS
the third best arena player in the world sucks, ok, make sense.
That yellow wall really fucks up the white balance on your camera and makes it look like you have jaundice.
They have fucked up their design so bad. Jade kills pure controls decks, Reno is being removed making pirate warrior even stronger they have built themselves into a small box of design space.
With Beast Druid I had a lot of success (didn't play above rank 10 so far though) against Pirate Warrior. The high HP early game minions + Swipe + Taunts really are strong here.
00:14 "I didn't minded"
Skillstone
personally i think nerfing frothing to 2 health wouldnt be too ridiculous
In the first match the Warrior even made a misplay and traded his deckhand instead of a weapon charge and Patches which lowered his overall damage by few points over the turns.
EDIT:
He would have done the same but would be left with a 2/1 instead of a 1/1.
How to counter Pirate Warrior: on the Battle Net client, select Heartstone, click Options, then uninstall. I did that. Works wonders.
Easy fix: Reno Jackson, 5 mana, lower stats to 3/5
Blizzard has confirmed that they'll be nerfing pirate decks sometime within the next ten thousand years
You know something's not ok when to the question "which Family is the strongest" the correct answer is Pirates.
I found out that the Nerubian card that adds 3 nerubians to your opponents deck are very good. One duude even played Reno and forgot that he had 3 nerubians in his deck lol
19 minute video on Pirate Warriors? So there must be like 30 games showcased that's cool
First Pirate warrior misplayed on turn 1, attacking a 2/1 into the mistress instead of the 1/1 and his weapon.
What... when I watched this in 3:49 I literally click on esc to concede :DD
How Blizzard handles op aggro decks:
- look at the decks/cards that are op
- wait and see if the decks/cards really are as broken as people say
- maybe consider nerfing them 3 years later
- print more cards like purify in adventures
Pretty sure Blizzard devs have said that they are watching STB closely, but that isn't enough. At this point they need to move pirates to wild or we are in for a long ride.
Even if they move the pirates from the classic set to wild it will still be a problem since both patches and Small Time Buccaneer won't rotate out for a long time, Pirate warrior has shown up before but it hasn't been as big of a problem as it is now since they couldn't pressure you enough (which changed with the release of the strongest 1-drop since undertaker).
The main issues is that the "pirate package" only consist of 3 cards, 2 SMB and Patches, with the only requirement to run them is to be a weapons class. This in combination with the fact that they have released a lot of op early game weapons makes it so that the pirate decks snowballs so heavy it crushes everything in its path.
I meant all Pirates. Or restructure how they work. They built the entire tribe as an aggro tribe and that concept in and of itself is flawed. We both know however, that none of the pirates are going anywhere and fuck all is going to happen that invalidates the deck because blizzard doesn't nerf bullshit. They nerf borderline cards that get complaints from scrubs.
did i ever tell you the definition of insanity?
1:13 to kirrp the skirrp
TeslaTorment rrrright...
Do you remember guys comlaining about turn 8 lethal with pyro? It was nerfed in 1 month. What about turn 4 lethal? Is this so fun and interactive?
"Has +2 attack while you have a weapon equipped, but can't attack heroes" or something like this.
*Taps every single turn* - "Why am I dying??" BabyRage
Well, if you're going to get used to them might as well sing along their anthem too.
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
Better get used to GET REKT by pirate warrior, more like.
I think every meta has a deck you just have to know card by card. Pirate Warrior seems to be that deck them time around.
Have an early board clear and/or a cheap weapon and you can go a long way against pirates.
You know those Pirate warriors are rolling their eyes whenever they get Reno'ed and call it a cancer deck under their breath
Do you guys think it would be possible to implement a reprint system for expansions? Like seeing the aggro bullshit we have to deal with, reprint deathlord and and other cards to balance out the meta? Instead of printing new and equally broken cards that ultimately have no positive impact on the diversification of the meta?
Why am I longing for days of Dr. boom again?
Pirate warrior is so fast that if you coin out doomsayer on turn one it doesn't survive
if an aggro deck can kill a coin+ doomsayer you know its fucked up
From what I read from Blizzard, they seem to like Aggro and dislike control and combo, feeling the latter two decks are not «interactive» enough. They are of the opinion that anything that can be like «No matter which minions you play, I can reliably stop your attacks for long enough and still win» (Control meta) is bad for the game.
I do love beating pirate warriors though. I like how they have to stop and think whenever there's a taunt or a doomsayer on the board, making their turns take 3 times as long, because that's obviously difficult for them.
Whenever a pirate warrior loses, an angel gets his wings...
pirate warrior is basiclly zoolock with weapons.....i thought zoolock was aggressive but this is next level bullshit....
u would destroy zoolock with a couple good removals especiarly in early turns...warrior except from dominating the board really quick he has like 10 weapons which u cant really fight against,i mean u put an ooze and will u draw it?and even if u draw it it seems like that even that is not enough...
Zoo was never a face deck though.It was a board control deck.Dont confuse zoo with face hunter.
I didnt,zoolock=warlock
Zoo was a tempo deck = establish early board dominance with efficient trades and then go face, or what I call "delayed" face decks, similar with Tempo Mage and "midrange" Hunter
Indeed,and that is because zoolock contains only minions-hence the synthetic zoo-so if u lose the board it is very difficult to turn the tide,unless the opponent stays with low health and u play a charge or something...shaman 1-3 years ago used to be that way,he was never a rush deck...these types of aggro,i accept,but the stupidity of lucky ass top-decks and face-face-face...its just frustrating to watch,let alone fill in ur gut...the ladder is really dissapointing nowadays,its just sad where the competitive hs had end up being...
Bring small time buc down to 1 HP and pirates will lose a lot of power. Mage hero power, arcane explosion, mortal coil, spirit claws, paladin hero power, cruel taskmaster and other warrior 1 damage spells, ravaging ghoul, murloc sniper, elven archer, the answers go on and on.
Small time buc is the real problem with the pirate deck, it's value is insane for such little cost. It's 2 health make it very hard to answer for most decks on turn 2 so its health being brought to 1, makes it vulnerable but still a valuable card.
you don't think super cheap efficient weapons that keep getting buffed over and over aren't a problem? I think a 4/3 ax for 2 mana or a 5/2 (or 6/3) weapon for 5 mana that can smack you in the face two/three/four times is waaaaaaaay more op than a 3/2 minion
playing agaisnt cancer warrior/shamam with a control deck feels like playing agaisnt grim patron warrior with dreadstread warlock you can win but you have a 99% agaisnt you
that is why, you play full heal priest. with 2 4 mana 12 heal while being a reno deck
when you randomly hit the spot on skipping the interdiction.
what was the missplay turn 7 in the last game? could he have done anything else??
I play Renolock and I love ending their combos.
Turn the 3/2's into 3/1's, and make Patches only have charge when you have a Pirate in your hand AND board. Oh, and make it to where Patches can't attack if you have no pirates.
18:20 how does he misplay and why does he not attack with the SI:7?
6:22 could have just Reno, then Hellfired next turn..
He could have, but if he were to do that and waited to hell fire there was so much damage on the board it could have gone south really fast for him. So, he decided to take a risky play in order to clear the board and slow down the flow of massive amounts of damage hoping to live the following turn to Reno, and then not imminently die once again. I am bad at explaining, I hope you can catch my drift :)
It would have put him at a lower health total soon after the reno as playing that would have left the warrior with a larger board.
Jack Bergeron I understand, just saying that is what I would have done. Then after hellfire you could plop down those creatures and hope to regain the board.
the guy had 14 damage on board, could probably easily have gotten that up to 18-20 as well the following turn leaving him in a weaker spot.
Danzig Rulze
Reno does practically nothing if you don't have tempo. Best example should be pre-msog Amaz vid, Rogue(Amaz) vs midrange Shaman(opponent). Forgot what kind of rogue deck Amaz was playing, might have been a mill deck with Reno. He used Reno 4-6 times with shadowstep, gang up but ended up losing because you would still get pummeled by the board even if you heal to full.
Maybe if Deathlord is brought back to standard, it would also make N'zoth decks better against midrange.
