Those HS videos always remind me what an incredibly gifted speaker TB is. Just listen to how well and coherently he expresses his thoughts. Most couldn't even reach that level if they read it off a script. It's like lullaby for adults. Thank you for the great content!
TB is a fantastic commentator. At first, I didn't like the game but the more I watch, the better it gets. I feel it's mostly due TB, who is really able to explain the mechanics with his usual passionate delivery. Keep up the good work!
TB you are the most honest person in the world
"The deck was entirely crafted by me, if it suck its my fault!" LOL
What's so priceless is that you get such a comment about how to draft when you drafted a deck that so far has gone 3 and 0.
I love this arena build you made, it seems quite fun, definitely fun to watch.
I absolutely:
1) love this series
2) am hyped for the game
3) am impressed how good TB is getting
I hope that this series will be regular. Much love TB. Keep the good work up.
I'm really enjoying videos of this game :)
It's great to see such an interesting deck being played; great series!
Your profile picture.... I fucking love it!!!!
Cheers!
"Play exactly as I want you to". Why, I can win without it
"He was intimidated by my gigantic trunk!"
That part was the highlight of the video. I laughed so hard at that part, and i bet i wasn't the only one, hahaha.
definitely worth a Thumbs up for that.
I get that, it's just that everyones experienced the most backseating gaming EVER from Hearthstone stuff. I get that people are enthusiastic and also that people really want to get into the beta but a lot of them have chosen to channel that into a lot of really negative stuff. I mean advice from the comments section is difficult to take seriously, because we don't know how much you know and how right or wrong you are.
I dunno about everybody else, but I don't come to watch TB winning all the time and being the most pro player on youtube, I come because his commentary is good and I like to listen to his thought processes while he plays, good or bad play, it's entertaining content. Keep it up TB
Love the lord of the arena series. Could watch em all day. entertaining! keep up the good work.
getting back into card games as of recent, really enjoying watching HS, signed up for the beta. Ordered a bunch of MTG cards online as well as started playing the newest online game for that. Don't remember why I dropped out of CTG games, been missing out on those for the last few years.
figuratively on the edge of my seat. once the last game was finished i expected another game only for it to end. TB this series is so great! keep bringin' the goods!
You played the first game exactly like you needed. You took the cards on your hand and turned a disadvantage into an advantage. Well done good sir !
Man I love this series, your commentary is perfect for it.
Loving all this Hearthstone content, TB. Also, I really enjoy seeing how your game matures across all your videos. Keep 'em coming
I thought that your draft was bad also but is turning out quite good. Maybe when you start facing mages and pallys you might start losing but so far its working well.
I want this game so much! These videos are keeping me alive for now and would love som more!
Thank you for putting out so much great hearthstone content, it has got me really excited for the game and i feel as if I already know the basic principles, great job TB
Sweag.
God damn I love when TB is unintentionally funny
God! You are gettin really good! You stopped getting aggravated about your early decisions an quickly making peace with them, given the circumstances. The first game was brilliant. Congratulations.
Love the frequency of this series!
im addicted to hearthstone videos, i freaking love watching this game.
"He was intimidated by my gigantic trunk!"- Laughed so much at this xD
Fantasic! you have no idea how much I love watching this, every episode makes my day! thanks for producing such great content TB.
These videos are my wards against sleep while leveling gathering skills on FFXIV
Keep 'em coming, loving every bit of it,
I know most videos get more money by the 10-15 minute mark or something like that. So thanks TB for making large content on one video when you could stretched them out by 10 minute matches. It really makes your average viewer happy.
I really like seeing TB play a game like this, I like his news/breakdown commentarys but this game is really quite entertaining to watch...which I didnt think id ever say about a card game
That is because the original dota was a WC3 map. It used Warcraft Heroes and creatures as well as parts of the lore. So you are bound to run into them here too (as HS uses WoW assets)
Hey TB, really surprised of how well you're playing this game, given the fact that it's basically a series of impromptu puzzles. I'm glad, so keep it up!
I'm so happy, I wasn't raging at my screen for half the battle. Whenever I saw a great play that he could pul, he almost always chose that specific one. The improvement is impressive.
TB, when you have cards with enrage you can use things like the druids ability to deal 1 damage to your own minion. Might seem counter-intuitive, but it can be an effective strategy to maximize damage!
Anywho, keep up the good work. Can't get enough of this series.
I like the explanations a lot, they are sort of a tutorial which will make me better whenever I get this game, so thank you very much.
Great series. Learning a bunch before release, which is great. I feel that me and many others will be purchasing this game due to this series(and the fact it's obviously a fun game).
I think your play really improved in the last 2 episodes compared to the previous ones, keep up the good work TB!
Totalbiscuit. This series is amazing. Please continue it. Do more!
Now this deck is a beast! So much taunt on both light and small, also havy and big creatures. What a great draft. Also very smart plays.
So good to finally watch someone who's actually good at Hearthstone play it on youtube.
nice games TB!
I seriously love watching TB play hearthstone. He's better than any caster I've seen.
In the 33:00 game, burning innervate for the shieldmaster was a mistake. He had nothing on the board except a 1/1 totem and you could have gotten your shieldmaster out without innervate next turn. You could have then gotten your Ancient out with the innervate on the turn following that.
As a general rule of thumb, if you have mana left over after burning innervate, you aren't using it properly.
Yeah. Also, it's much better listening to your input on the game with the possibility of mistakes, then just watching some kind of silent in the zone play with no personal feel.
It's that kind of personal commentary I like, which is the reason I love watching you, Crendor and Jesse play.
Informative entertainment with flare.
I literally cannot stop watching these, More please
TB u become really good at taking decisions in this game. I really like to watch ur arena sessions. Keep up the good work!

I am loving this series. Thanks!
"He was intimidated by my giant trunk!"
Oh TB, you do know how to make a woman blush.
I dont want to play this game, but im having very good time watching you mainly because of your awesome cometary. explaining every move every thought keep up i love it
I think you had pretty flawless matches this time. I didn't see any misplays, and the deck in general seems rather balanced, although it was a bit scary at times. Really solid. Good job!
I had a Lord Jarraxus (spelling?) in my arena run last night and it was amazing. Pulled him in every game and summoned him in like 4. Good fun.
Hey TB. Never realy been into card games myself but now I can't wait for ur next video and already enlisted for Beta key. As you said, there might come a new big wave of invites soon. Thanks for the series!
Loving these Hearthstone videos, TB. It's a lot of fun to watch you work :p
And you do realise that there's no guarantee of getting those heals on the draw, right? Heals right now are not that great in the meta because of how quickly things can snowball.
Perfect. This gives me something to do while waiting for the podcast. Good Guy TB.
Hey TB! Just wanted to let you know that if your a druid and plays a card there give you mana crystals when you are at 10 mana crystals you get a card named "Excess mana" which gives you card draw. :) could be usefull if you find yourself in a position were you draw wild growth even tho you have the 10 mana crystals. Good luck with future arena matches :)
Quick question, can you attack your own creatures with other creatures or with the hero?
If that's the case he could've used the druids abilty to gain 1 dmg and take a swing with the hero on the worgen (28:50)
That first game was awesome TB! handled that ending really well.
I wonder if it is really necessary to get that perfect mana bell curve. i'm curious if perhaps an inverse bell curve could work. Basically alot of low cost cards (with card draw abilities) to harass and more options in card draw on high cost cards.
"He was intimidated by my gigantic trunk" - Best line I've heard him say so far 31:53
Something like that, yeah. Only a lot more extreme. Something to where jumping between forms was the way to optimize your cooldowns, no matter what you specialized in. To where even healers used Moonkin form (maybe for rapid mana regen?) and feral Cats had a use for casting (what if energy only regenerated out of form?).
It'd be neat if there were cosmetic changes as well. Like using charge transformed you into flight form for a moment before switching to your feral form of choice.
Play more. Its super fun watching you play this. !
best series yet. druid seems awesome with the mana draw
Your getting better and better at it, im impressed
Oh man, back in the days of ULTRA OP Twilight Drakes...
"He was intimidated by my giant trunk" - TB
I love how you chose this video to mention Lord Jaraxxus and mention how rare it is to see in Arena. I say that because earlier today WowCrendor posted a video where he actually came up against a Lord Jaraxxus in a mirror match during an arena game.
I don't mean you did it on purpose of course, just that I find the coincidence rather amusing.
Malfurion was campaign hero in Warcraft 3 and still is a big person in WoW. Furion was named after him and with similiar look (in dota 1 he had Malfurion's model). Ogre magi was a unit in War2, War3 and WoW. And please, dont insult people by saying that Dota 2 heroes appear in this game, since all Dota heroes and most of skills was taken from Warcraft series.
Love this series. you definitely becoming Lord of the Arena.
TB "He was intimidated by my giant trunk" lmao..love your commentary man
You are entertaining to watch. You don't make the right moves all the time, but I don't either. And you have fun playing from what it sounds like. Congrats for making an online card game interesting to watch.
Keep this going TB. Loving this series.
I remember all the comments about the Paladin draft, which dried up as it was becoming obvious it was going GM and changed into "Timestamp, Misplay" over and over again.
Yup, misplays happen, I'm not that good and I'm distracted talking. That's just reality. I won't take advice from comments though, there's no evidence that it's right or spoken from a position of experience, best to just speak to people like Trump who know their stuff.
There are a couple of times (not many) where you had at least 2 crystals left over and I felt you should have used the shapeshift even though you weren't attacking, because the armor stays.
Some nail-biting action there, TB. Awesome stuff!

Once again i very much enjoyed this arena run. Thanks TB!
the game that starts at 33mins tb gets the early mana crystal with coin. I have a question is that the right play or playing coin + the other card that costs 0 for 2 more mana crystals this turn into a turn 1 shield master the right play?
There are a few times where you should have used your druid ability just to gain armor but, no big deal because you still won. I really like these.
Love your Hearthstone runs, keep them coming please.
I like when you play games that you are enjoying and having fun with...we can notice it on your voice
Crendor beat Jaraxxus in area in his latest video, i seem to recall. Just a funny coincidence hearing you say that you probably won't see Jaraxxus in arena, a few hours after seeing Jaraxxus in arena.
Wow. That looked like a really good draft to me. I would want that deck, definitely my playstyle.
You are constantly forgeting to use your hero power when you have spare crystals for it, no questioning there. But I am still rooting for you (pun intended). You're my favorite Heartstone guy.
it gives you random cards that are useful for your hero choice as far as i can tell. He was showing his card library one episode and he didnt have ysera which is a card he did use during one of his arena runs
Thanks for doing a druid deck and gratz on enjoying it and playing solid and more composed :)
learning alot from how you make your decks and play them
Good thing you wrote it because I actually didnt know. Youve done your part for the humanity today.
Everytime I see one of these vids in my Feed, I get so excited :D
I love this deck... I thought I didn't like Druid, but this showed me some cool stuff he can do. Very interesting.
"he was intimidated by my giant trunk!"
ah jeez that sounds so wrong! XD
TB seems to do well and wins a lot . People saying he isn't good in comments make me laugh , unless you win 100% you not good? they of course would win every match and never make a mistake.
Keep up the Vids TB
Just finished watching episode 7. Am pumped for this episode!
And I still have 20oddhrs of Hearthstone to watch on other videos.. BUT TB FIRST! HOORA!
Totalbiscuit @Totalbiscuit 6m
Oh hey, there's 45 minutes before the podcast begins, what a perfect time to watch 45 minutes of Hearthstone!
my thoughts exactly..^^
I'm loving all of this hearthstone content so thanks tb
Suddenly a wild trunk appears. I'd be pretty scared too.
Well played Mr. Biscuit.
Dude pudge is the abomb and dota 1 was made on warcraft 3 which is where most of these cards come from (warcraft and WoW). So i think the correct way to phrase your sentence is that some warcraft characters appear in dota and is Furion based on Malfurion...
You have just put into words what I have been trying to express for a while now.
Lovely plays, I'm happy you're enjoying yourself TB. Keep it up!
Hearing TB say Swag at 30 minutes made my whole week
