yee, voxy sometimes is the better drafter xD, wanted to pick one card becuse it had synergy with one another card in a whole 30 card deck :O, when cool guard was jsut better
I know you said you don't want to do too many collabs w one content creator, but your videos w Voxy have been the most fun I've had watching anything Hearthstone related in a long time. Your chemistry as content creators and gamers are great.
I love how in their first collab they were like "oh thank you, thank you; I'm sorry; don't worry, it's fine" and now it's "shut the fuck up; bitch you heard me; what the fuck you just said to me" :V Terrific content
20:10 Green/Red is named Gruul because Gruul is the name of the green/red aligned Guild of Ravnica. Each of the ten guilds is represented by two of Magic’s colors, and their characterization in the story also reflects those colors e.g. the Blue/White Azorius Senate being a bunch of stuffy lawyers to fit their control game plan. The Guilds of Ravnica (alongside the Shards of Alara and the Clans of Tarkir) are almost universally used among Magic players as shorthand for their associated colors because the sets they were depicted in are so beloved. It’s certainly a bit confusing from the outside, but it’s actually much more convenient to have single words to explain these kinds of concepts.
I was going to comment this if someone else hadn't - thanks for explaining! I started playing during RTR/Khans standard and it's amazing to see how beloved both of those sets remain after all these years. I miss the days of Siege Rhino terrorizing modern.
I have watched pretty much all of Rarrans videos multiple times, but never left a comment because I watch on my tv. Picked up my phone and clicked the video just to say the vibe between you two is fucking amazing. I love the fact bits were cut out because you just got into conversations about tv shows and stuff and almost forgot you were even playing HS and making a video It's so so wholesome. I hope you guys get a good friendship out of this and I hope you continue to make collab videos together! Really, this whole video left me with a smile on my face throughout. My cheeks hurt now. You two seem to bounce off each other so well, and I know it wasnt just polite laughing at jokes just for the video, since parts were cut where you clearly just went off on a tangent about personal interests. I love it
33:40 Oh my god, the callback to picking Frostmourne in the face of impending doom and then having Voxy telling Rarran off immediately was too much lmao! XD Seeing these two collab will never get old and I love it.
Rarran you can always use Parsec to have your guest also participate in the game by clicking on stuff or playing cards (parsec is like a screen share but also puts inputs of the person watching in only your game)
20:15 a set came out whic took place on the world called "Ravnica" the story of this world is there are 10 diffent guilds where each focus on one 2 color combo. The guild focusing on red/green is called Gruul, just like Simic is the guild focusing on green/blue. Magic players just kept the color names and uses them instead of saying "im playing red/green meatballs" you might say "im playing gruul meatballs"
Rarran's Cory in the House anime joke is such an old meme I had a ratatouille-esque flashback to an earlier age of internet meme discourse. Thank you Rarran.
@Rarran Gruul is the color combination because there was a set in magic that had 10 "guilds" all with different 2 color combinations, gruul is the name of the guild that was red/green. Its a lore thing.
I want more of this dynamic. *way too close to the mic* “What the hell did you just say” *also too close to the mic* “I know you fucking heard me bitch”
The only important thing to know when drafting Death Knight in Arena is that Unholy is by far the most OP rune type and you need to have at least one of those. The draft was a failure after 6 picks when you locked yourselves out of it.
54:50 Rarran, you probably don't really care, but when mage played the secret, you could have hovered over it in the sidebar and see that it was created by Fiddlefire Imp, which means it's a fire spell, which means it's Explosive.
Why is it Gruul you ask? Because the Red/Green organization in Ravnica is called Gruul Clans (when multicoloured cards were introduced back in the day).
34:29 - Rarran "Do we want to invocation this to get a 3/3?" - Gets a 4/5 and Voxy doesn't even call him out for that - Literally a few seconds later - Rarran "It's fine, I play this game for years". 😂😂😂 Love you!
@@edwardpurwanto7787 well. Apparently, I'm old as shit. Maybe I should get one of those little things to put into my ear, to actually be able to hear again. Thanks for pointing this out to me!
Gruul is gruul because its the name of a ravnican guild. Ravnica being a set built around the 10 color pairs represented by a guild. The guilds are Blue White - Azorius Blue Black - Dimir Blue Red - Izzet Blue Green - Simic Red White - Boros Red Green - Gruul Red Black - Rakdos Green White - Selesnya Green Black - Golgari White Black -Orzhov People also use the guild names to refer to colors specifically so a dimir control deck is a blue black one. I don't want to explain trios because that would be getting into Alara and Tarkir lore.
How does the Magic the Gathering player not know the two-color guilds? Rarran, to explain why red/green is called Gruul, the first time Magic the Gathering did a set specifically focused around two-color combination cards was in 2005 with the set Guilds of Ravnica. There, you have ten separate tribes-and the one that is represented with red/green cards is called the Gruul tribe.
So in case people came to the comments to figure out the gruul name and color combination thing, so in magic there is a set/plane called ravnica which has guilds of all the color combinations, Gruul is RG(Red & Green) and Izzet is UR(Blue & Red) etc. There are also names for the 3 color conbinations which you'll find in the sets /planes Alara & Takir depending on the combination they are based on places and clans respectively.
For MTG Gruul : During the first introduction of guilds in MTG (in Guildpact), Gruul was represented by the Red and Green colors. Every 2 color combination is also named after other guilds.
I think if you invited her with teamviewer so she can also control your mouse that could be a really solid way of doing this, it lets her hover the cards as much as she has to and take her turns on her own
For those were curious, red green in mtg is called gruul because there was a very popular set in the past that had a guild associated with that each color pair. Ever since, those were how they were referred to. So, gruul for red green, blue green is simic, and so on
I feel so split on these videos. It’s awesome watching people have such a great time playing HS (something that is rare) but at the same time, it’s BRUTAL to watch each turn rope.
Gruul refers to one of the guilds on the plane of ravnica in magic......they are basically the wild outcasts of society who are more into smashing things and big beasts and shamans.....
So glad you happened upon Voxy. She is a joy to watch. She’s like my wife if my wife actually liked card games instead of Genshin Impact and Halo. Same energy. They just be screaming obscenities at their games LOL
Wait, she doesn't play spells in MtG? Is there a lands archetype in limited now?! Wild! EDIT: It's called Gruul because that's what the Ravnican red-green (non-)guild is called. Those sets were all themend about two-color pairs and their respective guilds within the plane's lore. Many of the guild names stuck for the color pairs.
The Colour combinations are based on the Ravnica guild names and the Clans of Takir, the expansions that introduced these multi coloured cards. WR - Boros, RG - Gruul, WB - Orzhov, UG - Simic, WG - Selesnya and BG - Golgari WBR - Mardu, URG - Temur. WBG - Abzan and WUR Jeskai All 5 Colours doesn't have a official name, though it is just often Spelled WUBRG (wuberg)
Most text on a single card was a zombeast. When Stormwind came out, encumbered pack mule was discoverable by DK Rexxar. Combine it with a battlecry card to get a card with extremely small text. One I got had “Taunt, when you draw this, add a copy of it to your hand. Battlecry: Reveal a card from both player’s deck. If yours cost more, gain charge.” Now, the mule is removed from the zombeast pool, so now the longest text minion no longer exists.
"I feel like that's good for 2 people sharing one brain cell" That makes so much sense why they had to take turns to play! Bounce the cell back and forth
Why Red/Green is Gruul: It's a lore thing. All the two-colour combinations in MTG are named after factions from the planet-spanning mega-city of Ravnica (one of Magic's most popular settings). Each faction is linked with a unique combination of two colours, kinda like how Mean Streets of Gadgetzan had the Kabal for Mage/Warlock/Priest, the Grimestreet Goons for Hunter/Warrior/Paladin and the Jade Lotus for Rogue/Druid/Shaman. So on Ravnica there's... The Golgari Swarm (Black/Green) The Selesnya Conclave (Green/White) The Boros Legion (Red/White) The Azorius Senate (White/Blue) The Simic Combine (Green/Blue) House Dimir (Blue/Black) The Orzhov Syndicate (White/Black) The Cult of Rakdos (Black/Red) The Izzet League (Blue/Red) and, of course, the Gruul Clans (Red/Green)
So I had a roommate in college who was a farmboy from Idaho (we'll call him Fred) who hadn't even watched most Disney, Marvel, even SpongeBob. My other roommate told him his favorite anime was Cory in the House, and Fred knew just enough about the show to doubt it was an anime. I played along and pulled up the YT video that made Cory in the House an anime opening with Cruel Angel's Thesis. To this day, Fred still thinks Cory is an anime.
Rarran it's so nice of you to have Voxy here to show you how to play the game.
the fact that this is the most liked comment xD

The real hearthstone noob was the friends we made along the way
pleaseeee keep making content together you two are way too funny
We love Voxy
She talked about thinking corpses meant sacrificing a creature. Now I’m wishing Rarran did a full inscription play through. That game is awesome
Boy do I have news for you
As the person above me insinuated, I’d recommend typing in Rarran inscription on TH-cam.

Ngl I think Rarran and Voxy's collabs are the best thing that happened to Hearthstone in a long time
Imagine if Voxy became an arena master and then the roles reversed lol
I'd love to see Kripp get back into arena, teach Voxy some advanced knowledge so she can master the gamemode faster. That would be glorious :D
You guys have actually incredible chemistry
I can't get enough of these Rarran and Voxy collabs, their energy together is so great!

Rarran and Voxy hit gold in collabing together. I have never been happier to see a Rarran video
Rarran making the worst draft choices in the universe and voxy managing to dodge said suggestions makes me happy.
Rarran is a very poor arena player. But entertaining!

Please please do keep collabing with voxy this is all gold
The Rarran Voxy Duo vibes is too good.
The vibe between these two is just awesome...
I love the Gruul confusion. Never would have realized to question it as a magic player and knowing the lore.
Insane synergy between you two, keep it up, guys!
Voxy and arena noob drafting together. Great cooperation!
Voxy is great your dynamic together is fucking hilarious
If shade is still a thing, "oh, there's Frostmourne" was peak.
