A Hearthstone Player's First Impressions of Legends of Runeterra
• Video
Rarran, RegisKillbin, Zeddy, trump, thijs, kripp and other hearthstone youtubers all play different hs gamemodes. Duels, Battlegrounds, Standard, Arena and Wild are in the game that can new cards from new expansions to climb and win HS games.
Hearthstone is a card game based on WOW, it is also a digital card game.
Today we dive into Legends of Runeterra, a game from Riot available on pc and mobile. - Hry
"What is this guy playing? This guy's out of his mind!" _-Man attempting to win in Wild Hearthstone 2022 with GvG-era Mimiron's Head deck_
Idk i just play random decks not really trying hard and get up to like plat 5
But yeah some decks are insanely op
My favorite part is that they thought it'd be too strong if it gained stats depending on the mechs used so it just wipes your own field.
I don't know if they thought it was too strong or if it was just the mindset/skill of GvG hearthstone devs where they didn't want anything *too* crazy.
@@MikeMozzarodr.boom be like > 🥶
I thought this was about the mythical "Unicorn Priest" that Brode talked about when Priest was absolute garbage (the time where the card that Silences your own minions released, I dont remember the expansion or adventure). Gladly surprised
Purify, One Night in Karazhan
@@looijmansje Yeah, that one. Thanks man!!!
This is another cool video idea
Only ogs will remember the legend of unicorn priest
Worst card is alarmobot
To summarize the problems with Mimiron's Head:
You need a +4 Attack buff for Voltron to actually OTK, plus you need to draw Mimiron himself, plus you need to ensure that not only Mimiron lives but allies live too so you will spend more than 4 cards to achieve this. And even then your opponent can just use any hard removal, silence etc. Or just a Taunt.
That's why I don't get why he didn't try it with rogue, seems like it would be much easier with conceal, cold blood and potentially sap to bypass taunt
And not only that it actively disincentivizes having more than 3 mechs on the board by destroying all your mechs for no additional benefit.
And it's not even an otk with +4 attack anymore cause there's a decent chance they started with 40 health, so you need +6 attack to win, and swapping it's attack and health won't cut it anymore either without chip damage to help it along
Well it never was intendeed to be a OTK, they made it because they thought the scenario would happen often, back then they didn't really understand that cards that required other cards were very slow/weak/easy to counter play...
@@Cuestrupaster Yeah, I sort of assumed that it could only be used to OTK because, well, a maybe 16 damage face for 5 cards and 10+ Mana or something isn't the best deal.
@@byeguyssry They didn't saw like that when it was printed... they imagined it would be very common to have mechs in play already...
A bonus point about this card is that faceless manipulator was so common in people's decks
And even when you managed to summon him, you'd most likely leave your opponent alive because you've spent your previous turns trying to build the voltron hence not making any progress.
And your opp just get to copy your voltron and kill you with it XD
There is a deck where mimrons head is playable. Just play quest mage with double target dummy end ur turn then play molten reflection or the guy that swaps attack and health for the easy otk it’s not as good as parrot but definitely more consistent then hoping they don’t have removal using mech mage lol
He said he only wanted to use the cards from GVG since the challenge was to determine what card had the lowest winrate at that time
@@WhiteWolfRQ Friend of mine used rogue with conseal and 2 target dummy and 1 mana mech. It was still a meme but much more reliable.
@@WhiteWolfRQ yeah but with opponents playing non gvg cards still kind of flawed
than*
Also, use commas.
@@WhiteWolfRQ but there was never a time where you ONLY coould play GvG.. i played the head deck in standard during the time and it was very fun. and it had a good winrate. it was just another version of exodia mages but with the head instead of fireballs...
Alternate Title: Rarran really needs head in hearthstone
worst thing to say considering his twitch chat is thirsty
@@drkaiser26 so is his YT comment section btw Rarran lemme smash
Maybe the real worst card was my opponents top deck that lost me the game 🙃
That's a good card tho
my face when opponent opponent draws good card
I feel like rogue would be a better class to attempt this strategy with. You have access to conceal so you can protect all your mechs, and you have cold blood to buff the Voltron and make him kill in one turn.
Nimron's Head as a concept is a precursor to the keyword Magnetic
It would be cool to Ninron's Hear return with 'all mechs have Magnetic'. That would be cool as a guy who's favorite deck was Mech Paladin when Dr. Booms Lab is standard.
The way to make mimrons head work is probably quest mage, so you can summon voltron and then attack with it before your opponent does anything about it. Could also attempt it with the "quest mage"-priest that was going around a little while ago with temporus, but that would probably be significantly harder.
BTW Rarran. The head itself counts as a mech for the transform. So it's the head+2 others, not +3. It seemed like you were playing for +3 other mechs.
i think he was just hedging his bets. he played it with +2 sometimes as well
@@M0torsagmannen At no point did he play it with just two other mechs
@@WiggyWamWam first fucking game lol...
@@WiggyWamWam THE FIRST GAME
The best way of making head viable must be changing the "start of turn" for a battlecry effect, but also they would probably need to change charge for rush to balance it.
Actually there was a quest mage combo that could use Mimiron's Head...
You use only 3 mechs on the deck: Mimiron's Head and 2 dummys.
The idea is to cast them alongside the quest reward that allows you to take an extra turn... Then, in the extra turn you can create copies of Voltron to OTK your opponent.
Of course it was more of a "forfun casual" deck, but it was viable and with a decent winrate
Honestly, you could've won that 2nd game in GvG because Rush wasn't a thing. I'd like to see Blizzard making some weird mode where you can play just each year, instead of Wild and Classic.
The guts theme fitted so well to this tragic scene at 12:07
I had built a silly Mimron’s head deck a long time ago, actually got it last year as I was opening 10 of each pack to get a legendary from each. Ended up making a Rouge deck with it. Could probably use some improvements, but the main strategy is to discount the important cards with the octobots from Barrens (which are mechs themselves so that’s a plus) and then stealth all of the mechs. Then when you get voltron, you swing, play the guy who returns minions to your hand as a 1 cost, play again and play any attack buff cards. The problem I ran into when making the deck is it doesn’t really have board presence. I know it’s a silly deck and nowhere near meta, but I wonder how I could improve it so then it could handle decks that want to overrun you.
How low do you think Rarran's MMR is after all these challenges
My wild one is reaching mmr never seen before
That penultimate opponent just straight up played Booty Bay Bodyguard and Doomsayer in his deck
@@Rarran the fact that you have issues winning with some of these deck challenges and your mmr is so low is just showing how bad some of these cards really are
@@Rarran Turns out Rarran was the worst card the whole time
Magma rager is bad overall. No effect, nothing impactful to the board, easily removable. Back then Mimiron's head when impossible to have the effect go off is, at worst, a 5 mana 4/5 which was not the worst thing in the world back then.
The issues is no one put it in their deck with the intention of playing a 5 mana Yeti. They put it in with absolute garbage cards like Target Dummy to try to pull it off which drastically lowers the winrate.
Vandarr is another card which isn't "unplayable" as a 4 mana 4/4, but the fact you are "forced" to run 0 early game and hope on drawing him on curve drastically lowers his deck winrate compared to playing him as a 4 mana 4/4 in a "normal" deck.
The flaw of trying to see if a card from GvG is bad while playing cards from only GvG is that your opponent's aren't using only cards from GvG. You'd have a better chance if they were, because at the time there wasn't as many cards. So you should've used newer cards to help it along. Cause seeing if it's bad during it's time is impossible unless you were facing a friend with a GvG deck or the Innkeeper
Yea man, like there was limited removal at the time, and the best 4 drops were yetis, so a 5 cost 4/5 with that added bonus was definitely no issue. I had it in my mech mage at the time for fun and pulled it off like 1/6 wins which were games I probably would have won anyways.
yeah, we know
man, NEVER GIVE UP fisherman is a blast from the past, so wholesome
I'm pretty sure it isn't Mimiron's head because even if not played on OTK decks the winrate % is of the deck itself, not the one single card. Mech mage was always somewhat good, you could run the head in your list and win a lot without ever even playing it.
It's fair to assume that's the one statistic Ben Brode is using here based on the comments, but there are other perhaps better ways to measure a worst card, such as its win rate when seen/drawn or when played. I know they used to track that back in the day because Baron Geddon famously had the highest "when played" win rate. This is also why I would incline to favor the Malchezaar hypothesis, because it ruins your deck without your even having to draw or play the card itself.
I think the issue is that if you're playing Mimiron's Head, you're not playing to win. Anyone actively playing to win (at the time, there are actually a couple decks that can make it happen later on, even if they aren't top tier) wouldn't be playing Mimiron's Head in the first place. So the only decks playing him aren't really going to be that good just by virtue of that. And that's besides any subconscious things like playing less than optimally with an already less than optimal deck, just because you really, really, really want the dopamine hit of getting him to do the thing.
You would probably have a much easier time if you went quest mage. Granted Sorcs apprentice costs a bit more, but back in the day Mimirons head was used as a OTK. It was alot of fun to see, even if it was terrible lol
Holy moly, I was not prepared for the nostalgia blast hearing Beauty of Annihilation at the end, I just started listening to that again recently too
That was such an epic and exhausting journey. 💜
Guts theme always cuts deep. This time was no different.
i remember that brode interview and he was definitely talking about mimiron's head in context, at the time there was almost no other option
There was a really nice mimirons head / open the waygates / echo of medivh otk deck
I love at the end you used 115 from cod lol its a good song.
One of the best hearthstone mysteries ever explored
Where is Part 2 ? plsss there was no ending in this vid. What is the WORST CARD tell me. PS i am from Germany and you dont wanna mess with us.
In the first game you could've used time rewinder on the 2/1 to play it and have it be duped by oracle of elune.
It's cool you put a deck tracker in post editing for the viewers
I'm always a little disappointed when opponents see an obviously bad deck trying to cook something stupid, and they never go "Yeah I want to see that"
I loved the berserk music; have you read Berserk Rarran?
Maybe the real worst card are the friends we made along the way.
Does this man not remember extra turn mech mage? Such a fun and almost consistant win condition
The article suggests people loved playing the card, but did not realize how bad it was; therefore people would stop playing it if they knew it was bad. I don't recall Mimiron's head being played much at all.
I also think back in the day this would have had better opportunity to win using a rogue conceal/miracle deck.
I bet it’s Malchezar, he has no guaranteed synergy and disrupts drawing cards that do.
"The Conspiracy sound" wow that... hurt
10:46 Bro what were those trades lol
I love that you have bold and brash by squidward in the background
Guts theme is the best edit you’ve ever made
If you're trying to force the transform effect it's going to be terrible but I don't think a 5 mana yeti is bad enough to be the worst card in the game.
It's not even that bad anymore. I've seen a Mech Druid list that can easily make it along with clogging the board with Annoy-o-trons
I was laughing hard and thinking the same about that card. I only got it work once. Thank you, subscribed
cant believe you didnt try for blingtron lethal that last game
I recently won a Tavern Brawl with Mimiron -> Voltron. No idea which one it was though ^^
That berserk soundtrack was really on point there😂
Great ending music. Love "The One" (pretty sure it's that one. if it's not, my other guess was Beauty of Annihilation, but i think first guess is correct)
what is the name of the ending music?
@@mangekyo_jz6124 It was Beauty of Annihilation, by Elena Siegman from the COD Zombies franchise
@@WolfEntertainment thanks!
My guess: Either Blingtron 3000 or Gazlowe. They had worse statlines and it was too unreliable/ much commitment to produce value.
4:17 I feel u bro, me too me too...
I haven't played Hearthstone in years, but I love watching your video's.
It wouldn't have to be a legendary card. There are cards like Pit Lord that, at least as of right now per hsreplay has a 3.6% play winrate.
The thing is according to the article the card is fun and thought fond of. Pit Lord is more of a WH OMEGALUL card that no one touched with a 10 foot pole.
Mimiron's Head probably had the issue of people warping their entire deck around it making the deck significantly worse. The card itself as a 5 mana Yeti isn't THAT bad, but when you are playing things like Target Dummy your deck is absolute garbage.
As an isolated card, Malchezar is probably the worse card since he actively just makes your deck worse by existing. "I could play a good card or I could play Malchezar who could be anything.....it could even be a good card!"
I have to disaggree. Mimiron's head was a bad card, but because of that it was never played. (Even though mech mage was a thing even back then.) UNTIL the recent release of Mechashark and such, I remember MartianBoo popularizing Mimiron and it was actually useable (because of the magnetic cards). There was one other time when it saw play, back when the first mage quest was released Mimiron mage was an actual deck (Mimiron's head+2 Target dummies + Time warp and either playing Crazed alchemist or Echo of Mediev next turn for the OTK.)
But turns out playing decks from 2014 is not really viable in 2022 who knew.
I won a ranked game with mimiron's head in Boomsday standard.
I was playing mech control warrior, I got weaponized pinata from dr. boom's hero power and traded it in, got Toki, Time-tinker from it which in turn gave me mimiron's head. I had a lot of minibots on my field and I played the head, which transformed, played Faceless manipulator and won. I'm sad I didn't clip it because it would have been an easy clip to send to Trolden for their "funny moments" series
Love the berserk music man
i always thought Hemet Nesingwary from GvG was the worst - a 5 Mana 6 /3 legendary - kill a beast .
high cost, legendary, understatted, very situational battlecry .
ummm that card was commonly run in high level legend decks to counter Silverback Patriarch...
My dude used the guts OST it's so nice to know that you have seen it
I wish he had, his favorite anime is Cory in the House
There is a otk deck with miniron in Wilde.
It's really memy but it's fun
Mims head is pretty easy . The thing is that it kinda exploded with boom days project and the sunking city
It was always fun summing out VTRON when it stayed alive.
Iirc it was "Gang Up" from BRM, either Celestalon or Iksar said it in one of AMAs
14:33 Is that "Beauty of Annihilation"?? Does Rarran play cod zombies??
Damn this new “guess the card” challenge seemed real hard
Very unexpected guts theme… but very needed
The worst card is the druid one that makes the first card cost 0. This card at worst is a 5 mana 4/5 mech, the druid one actually can just straight up lose you the game.
the strat is to stealth the head!
I think the only way i know to summon Vol'tron with Success is with the Mage Un'Goro Quest getting you a second turn and the 0/2 Taunt Mech for 0 Mana. But of course, it isn't pure Goblins vs Gnomes.
11:57 Hello darkness my old friend...
"Gimme head now" - Rarran, probably
there used to be a competitive OTK deck with Mimirons head... I think it was Mage with the portal that gives you multiple turns
I wouldn't really call it competitive, it's just one of multiple silly OTK options possible via Time Warp shenanigans.
@@Straviradius both this and "someday-someday-someday-someday-aha!" are like 5+ card combos that require Time Warp except one does significantly more damage, plays better cards than target dummy, and can go through taunts. Even if GvG was in standard during Un'Goro (I don't believe it was) it would've been significantly worse than just pointing fireballs at the dome.
I absolutely love Mimirons Head, I still run it in a version of mech mage I use, but I wont lie, the main reason why I love it and still use it, is the animation when it does its effect, its the coolest most unique animation in hearthstone imo, totally worth it.
Another Banger! .. HE GOT JAILED
You could say it’s his own puzzle [like the ones we have in-game]
the real worst card is the friends we made along the way
I don't play Hearthstone anymore, but I've watched a few of these now, and I'm always flabbergasted that Rarran has creatures on the field when it becomes his turn. That's never my experience with these types of games. So, when you show me a card that needs it and two others to stay alive through the opponent's turn, I smugly chuckle in a corner. Good job pulling it off; don't know how you did it.
This video is weirdly nostalgic
malch was run in control constantly during his release and as much as people meme on random legendary effects can often swing games, never wouldve been him
No. He wasn't in any meta decks because he was bad. You might have put him in your control decks but that hardly means he was played constantly.
"I need the head faster, I need the head sooner, I need the head now"-Rarran
I think Voltron is suposed to be played in mech shaman because of the minion buffs so voltron can quadruple the buffs
Most of the plays I've seen with V-07-TR-0N require some kind of strategy or gimmick, like playing Time Warp too to have a total of 32 damage, or using Bloodlust for 28 damage. Maybe that's why the card was so bad back then, even though most classes didn't have a real way to deal with it, because it only works with some kind of combo that also requires mana cheat.
Didn’t think I’d hear beauty of annihilation at the ending.
Conspiracy noise? That was X-files :(
10:50 Sounds like the Goblin’s attack sound was “FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!”
Oh hell no. Rarran did *not* just call the X-Files theme "conspiracy noise".
*Angry 90s kid noises
It’s not mymron’s head. It is used in a niche quest mage otk in wild so the win rate shouldn’t be that bad
"the conspiracy noise"
He didn't send the tweet. We got jebaited 😩
'What is this dude PLAYING?' - Man with Mimiron as win condition
omg it's a start of turn effect
There are a bunch of contenders for worst Hearthstone card, but Magma Rager, Shifter Zerus, Mimiron's Head and Prince Malchezaar are all still things that add stats to the board when you play them. Malchezaar is probably the worst of that list because he thickens your deck with random cards, which is obviously awful, but Duskfallen Aviana exists.
Malchezaar could highroll and be awesome, but so very, very rarely. From my very limited play of Zerus (because sometimes you get given him randomly), he's actually OK, so long as you aren't using one of your card picks for him...
@@talltroll7092 If there were no archetypes Shifter Zerus wouldn't be awful. You might want Shifter Zerus or Malchezaar in Arena if your deck didn't pick up much synergy. I'm not even sure if those show up in Arena to be honest.
"Why does it take every single one?!" Because you thought the set-up was bad before - Now you realise you also need two Abusive Sergeants to get enough face damage.
Was that never give up is a dragoon reference?
Surprised that Rarran didn't try Time Warp Mimiron OTK
Got to love the 115 ending
“We didn’t want cards to be too powerful”
The last 2 years of hearthstone “y’all hear something?”
My guess is Blingtron. Love that card, but it often is just better for your opponent.
Edit: Today I learned Mimiron’s Head takes all your mechs. Maybe it is Mimiron’s Head after all.
We used blingtron mostly as weapon removal. still not very good though.
@@willh1655 I still remember Trump talking about the Blingtron + Harrison combo. Funny time.
lmfao the Berserk music
shouldve blingtron'd the last game into gorehowl or cursed blade for the DH
Was there ever a followup to this?
As a jank player this vid made me.laugh so much very relatable
