3:43 Honestly seeing anyone remembering reliquary shaman makes me smile :D I hope a format will come that will allow me to play this deck again someday.
Reliquary Shaman balled so hard and I miss it dearly. I love goofy decks that only work because of niche standard rotations (except for whatever Rogue did with Shadowstep) as an almost exclusively standard player these powerpoints are super nice to find out about wild metas I had no knowledge of also you sound much calmer today and I like it
Prime cards are a perfect example of cards that: A) Do something upon entry. B) Create a potential win-condition or a threat that the opponent must urgently respond to. Looking at these points, this strongly reflects the playability of Prime cards. Warrior/Hunter/Mage cards reflect point A, while Paladin/Warlock cards reflect point B. In the case of Druid/Rogue cards, the problem is that in theory, these cards can also be categorized under both points, but they are definitely too expensive or don't 'fit' well with the class. Both Prime cards from these classes should cost at least 2 mana less, or even 3 in Akama's case. The problem with Shaman is both the excessively high cost and a very, very average effect. For example, if Lady Vashj cost 5 and had +2-3 Spell Damage, she would be much more attractive to play. However, in her current form, she is a very average card in both forms.
It honestly baffles me how underpowered Mssi'fn was, especially considering how badly it got powercrept in the very next expansion by Fizzy Elemental. In the best case scenario, Msshi'fn is a tribeless 10 mana 9/9 with rush and taunt, and to obtain it you need the first minion to have died, drawn the prime, and completed the choose one quest. Fizzy Elemental is a 9 mana 10/10 elemental with rush and taunt, without any setup. Oh and it's also a rare instead of a legendary. And it still never saw meta play in Standard or Wild. People shit on Akama but I still think Msshi'fn was the worst legendary of the expansion.
@@FlareIsGone Welp, I fucked up. For some reason I remembered the effect as only turning itself into the minion, not summoning it on the side, and then I thought 'wait isn't there another Druid minion that already does that without setup?' and went on this rant. In my defense it's hard to remember the effect of a card you've seen played once or twice. But still, I gotta learn to read card effects better than Zeddy.
My absolute favorite card is solarian because when castle nathria came out i started to play again and i played solarian prime and it casted about 27 spells, beacuse the second spell of solarian was a rune of archmage which casted a puzzle box which casted the druid spell that casts 8 druid spells and after all this madness i lost
in the process of creating their new legendary gimmick, blizzard accidentally discovered an algorithm able to compute prime numbers in logarithmic time. However, fearing the consequences of a sudden and global obsolescence of SSH encryption, they decided to hide the code and divide it into 16 cards, which is how the "primes" gimmick came to be. Ben brode has stated that all the keys are there, and that the algorithm is ours to find, but he smugly wished "good fricking luck" to anyone insane enough to try and decrypt the cypher. it is believed that there are cognitohazardous elements hidden in the cards, and that might only be scratching the surface of the might of the cypher. So, tread carefully, and remember: anything you uncover is yours to keep, be it burden or blessing.
I want a colossal prime titan as the reward for a new quest line
Y E S
YES
Battlecry and deathrattle: shuffle all other primes, titans, and colossal minions into your deck. They cost 1.
Just go to custom hs it prob already exists
@@susamogus8331 there's at least two Cho'Gall cards that have both Colossal and Titan

I love the continuing trend of ‘yeah this rogue card doesn’t have a home and/or sucks in rogue but if it was a Hunter card it’d see play’
Voltron, Akama, Crab, Jandice, and a fuck ton of other tempo rogue legendaries would be broken inhunter
@@FlareIsGoneare we getting another cards in different classes episode? That was such a good concept for a series
Oh for sure
the Honda Civic
Natural predator of the house cat
That tweet made me both laugh and hug my cat, emotional rollercoaster
I remember running Misshi’fn in Untapped Potential deck, and winning some games with it, I’m surprised to hear it wasn’t actually that good
Thanks for using a dark background. Way easier on the eyes
Whenever I see a Flare video I think to myself, what point of power will we be discussing today? 🤔🤔
Vashj was briefly played in a Barrens Nature deck. It was fun and I got wins but if memory serves it was like a tier 3 deck at best.
oh shit congrats on your first (kinda) sponsorship mr hearthstone guy

you do realize msshi'fn summones that extra 9/9 with rush or taunt right
Mssi'fn was a 9/9 with taunt that summoned another 9/9 with taunt or rush, much better than fizzy.

The kanrethad zoo value was a thing in standard as well
you okay flare? you sound different then normal
Primes are awesome. Nuff said.
I wish msshifin prime summoned 2 minions when the uldum wuest was completed
a Power point about the free legendary cards that blizzard gives each expansion? 👀

Solarian Casting puzzle box was disgusting in standard
my goat getting sponsors now
Wait there really wasnt a Demon Hunter Prime in Ashes of Outland?
Ashes of Outland Demon Hunter Legendaries: Kayn Sunfury; Metamorphosis.
Loved this and colossals
Damn, didn't teach nothing about numbers divisible by 1 and itself...

Vashj isn't bad but she doesn't have a deck. It's definitely a good card in itself.
Thanks so much for this video! @flare
My favorite prime card is Envoy Rustwix, I mean it's a demon that gives you 3 primes!!!!
Among the colossals titans and primes primes was the only one where the mage one eas good
Aye. Your Sing-Along Buddy bugs should be fix now because of the newest patch
Yeah I saw it's great
You forgot to drink 10 cups of coffee before recording this episode 😥
