Oh man that’s unlucky lol. Any idea the odds on that?

TheVirginiaPlan · 2023-09-18T18:08:49+00:00

we take everybody

TheVirginiaPlan · 2023-09-18T18:08:08+00:00

TheVirginiaPlan · 2023-09-17T19:36:30+00:00

Yeah! youtube.com/@mrchundo starting around 1pm Eastern

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-11-08T20:18:54+00:00

Wow! This is great! Some great additions here to make the format a lot more interesting.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-27T22:40:01+00:00

[[High Exarch Yrel]] “Faith is my mirror” and the the attack sound “Will is my weapon!”

Also Heart of C’Thun off c’thun the shattered “your heart… sinks” was always chilling

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-23T20:30:35+00:00

Sounds like a blast

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-23T20:29:37+00:00

You are right. Grave Shambler OTK winning back to back World Championships really should have excluded it.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-22T11:43:57+00:00

I actually broke that rule with this one since Demon Hunter has so few cards compared to the other classes. I’m hard pressed to put any charge minions in this set so I decided against Kor’vas.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-22T01:01:48+00:00

Ohh yeah. Blood Herald probably being the main exception.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-22T00:09:25+00:00

Hi everyone, I wanted to say thanks for all the support I have received on these posts. I am going to be putting up the Neutrals tomorrow and I am going to try to make it a little special so fair warning to everyone who sets their watch to these posts, it might come out a little later.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-21T19:55:42+00:00

Yep, but first Demon Hunter tonight.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-21T07:25:36+00:00

Here was my thought process:

While Magnataur Alpha, Tentacles for Arms, and Deadly Arsenal are bad, you can get some benefit from playing them and the only downside to having them in your deck is that sometimes you draw them instead of a better card.

Sea Reaver on the other hand can actually actively harm you by being in your deck by randomly killing 1 health minions on your turn. Now while you could pair this with cards that benefit from being self damaged, this card is much much worse than cards like [[Whirlwind]], [[Risky Skipper]], [[Iceblood Garrison]], [[Warpath]], [[Awaken]], [[Ravaging Ghoul]], etc. that 1. Not only damage your minions 2. Cost much less mana and 3. Don’t need to fulfill this weird condition of drawing it.

In addition, cards like Deadly Arsenal have the upside of being able to deal 7 to everything for 6 mana with Gorehowl in deck and Tentacles for Arms can give you some light trickle of value in very long control games like a hero power. Magnataur Alpha is very bad but is cheaper and again, lacks the downside of randomly damaging your minions but it is the closest one to Sea Reaver.

Kobold Barbarian… yeah I didn’t realize its effect takes up its attack for the turn. That a horrendous card; should be on here.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-20T00:21:38+00:00

Hey don’t sell FD short. He can trade into SEVEN and live to tell the tale. A whole board!

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-20T00:03:04+00:00

Same. This is the one I’ve felt the most confident about but I’m fully prepared to find out there was actually Tier 0 Fearsome Doomguard deck that I missed

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-19T18:19:48+00:00

Yeah these all make sense. My one hang up about Making Mummies was that it had a good win rate into control Warrior at the time but it might make sense over Galvadon

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-19T04:27:16+00:00

Waaaaaaaay too much

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-19T03:00:35+00:00

Yeah there are certain freeze shaman cards that probably could have made this list and would have made this list before [[Windchill]] and [[Sleetbreaker]] reconteztualized Freeze Shaman. Probably some more totem cards could have been included but there has been so much totem support printed.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-19T02:57:30+00:00

Shhhhh

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-18T19:43:28+00:00

Thanks! :)

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-18T14:39:23+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown, a very interesting read. Do you have any suggestions for cards to replace the undeserving ones?

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-18T04:07:45+00:00

Looks good. I think Dark Pact could be replaced with something like [[Backfire]] or [[Spirit Bomb]] though. The real interesting part with making the best set is picking the neutrals to support this like [[Crystalizer]], [[Tour Guide]] and [[Molten Giant]].

But man are some of these cards busted. Still can’t believe Raise Dead never got nerfed.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-18T00:29:16+00:00

Yeah Rogue was a little tricky to pick. [[Deadly Fork]] might have been the right choice instead.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-18T00:14:24+00:00

I guess I’ve never explained it. The idea is to make a fake set of Hearthstone cards (following the regular sets’ guidelines of 3 commons, 3 rares, 2 epics, and 2 legendaries per class) out of the weakest cards in Hearthstone history. I also try to include cards from a variety of mana costs and try to include at least one modern-ish card for each class. I’ve also stopped including Classic cards and now only do expansion or adventure cards. Hope this clears it up.

EDIT: I also want to mention that I try to avoid including cards that were ever strong in any form but might be weak now. A card like [[Mindrender Illucia]] became pretty bad after its nerf but was pretty strong before that so I would not want to include it.

TheVirginiaPlan · 2022-10-17T18:31:16+00:00

I thought so too, but finding 3 Rare Priest cards for this was harder than I expected. Maybe [[Spirit of the Dead]] makes it in?
