Mojomaster Zihi saw A LOT of play in the expansion it was released in. Didn't see play after but it was perfect to counter combo decks, which were prominent at the time the card was released.
Plus it was just great tempo late game as it allowed you to spend 5 mana on other things then play this and then your opponent would only have half the mana you just spend to reply.
I disagree with you that Umbral Skulker ( at 6:49) didn’t see any play. It did, with a Maly rogue in all decks. I hit the first legend on that deck, btw.
Also, Pillager Rogue in Wild used it to do the OTK, in which you played Spirit of the Shark, two Umbral Skulkers, bounced them back, played them again, and then you could one-shot the enemy with Spectral Pillager. It wasn't great, but it was another fringe use for the card. ...until Scabbs came along, that is.
@NessunO Damn I read my comment again and it makes no sense, I think it was like 4 am or something, I meant that in wild any card can see play since there are so many archetypes so it doesn't really count as a viable card
Your content is so good. Hearthstone used to be a game of many players but these days it has a huge lingering audience. Your content brings pleasure to those who used to play and taps into the nostalgia well. So few content creators dare to analyze HS from a historical lense and its what we as viewers desperately crave. Its the type of content HS Devs need to help showcase the newer cards as well. Keep it up!
@@TrimutiusToo it was tied 2 with 51-53% win rate, while regular Galakrond rogue was a tier 1 with 54-56% win rate. But this card was playing only in maly rogue
A fun combo that was sometimes run was a 2 mana 2/2 mech that gave armor equal to the damange u do. Slam a Ziliax on that and a sweeping beam to have the godlike sustain card giving 21 health and 21 armor as a 3 piece combo.
I played Sweeping Strike in my Control Warrior and it was INSANELY good. Especially because I also had the 2/2 mech that gives armor equal to the damage dealt. This, combined with Zileax and Sweeping Strike, resulted in 5/4 mech with a lot of keywords that restores you 15 health and 15 armor when attacks, also dealing 5 damage to 3 targets. Won a lot of games only because of Sweeping Strike.
Some versions of the otk dh deck lists have battleworn vanguard. I’ve been using him it makes me think of the 2 mana weapon that summoned the felwings that dropped with demon hunter
Entitled Customer was an auto-include in handlock at the time, which was alright, but just died to the questline decks. But, like, handlock was a mildly popular deck back then. It wasn't meta, but it wasn't a meme
I got a golden Mojomaster Zihi in a pack :/ The problem was that you would play this, but your 5 mana couldn't be used. If it'd set both players to 5 mana and then you could still use this mana on the same turn, it would've been reeaaaally good.
The point was to play this on 10 mana. You spend 5 mana on other stuff and then play this. Then your opponent will only have 5 mana to try to come back with.
One of my favorite decks I ever made was spell damage shaman, and Squall Hunter was there star of the show It had good tools from Scholamance as well as Rise of Shadows and of course Decent of Dragons But unfortunately with the rotation it lost a lot of good cards (especially Squal Hunter) and I couldn't make the deck work anymore
About 5:00 in you mention cursed vagrant. Card is an arena all star for rogue and Deathrattle rogue was a popular variant at it’s release that could cheat it out for a mid game threat or just use it as top end. I played lots of wild during this time so I might be confusing it for standard, but Cursed Vagrant did get the respect it deserved!
Good choice, value hunter buddy. It is verry good for taking out bullshit win conditions when you know opponent has a combo piece. Add in a bran and the 0 Mana swarm card to get the stinger back and oh boy.
I loved my Bloodstinger Hunter deck. Build the deck around it and was actually fun to play. In Uldum Hunters didnt really have a lot of good spells but the hero together with the buffing and card draw and random secrets and those twinspell 5/5 rushes was really fun. Never thought a midrange/Controll hunter could be an archetype but was really fun to play at the time
Surprised more people aren’t talking about Entitled Customer. I and a bunch of people I played used it as a clear in both a tickatus soul fragment warlock and a quest warlock. It was a great emergency clear against agro
cornelius roame was amazing in pre-nerf quest mage no joke, so often u ran out of card draw or didnt have it at the right time... this was the best topdeck u could possibly draw when ur hand was almost empty and saved me so many times. i also did run magtheridon as so many decks didnt play board at all, i had 70%+ wr to legend from plat10
Cornelius Roame: if you're not dead right after you play it and your opponent lets it stick, you better take it off the board yourself before you go into fatigue
Great informative content - Really enjoyed the last several ones - Your viewing figures alone should let you know you are on the right track - Keep it up and good luck
These picks are really geared towards standard as some off these cards did see active play in wild or still do. coilfang has some play in reno demon hunter in conjunction with deathspeaker Blackthorn. Wild bloodstinger is still used in reno hunter. entiteled customer saw play in evenlock, even renolock and is still an card that is used in renolock. umbral skulker was used in pillager otk rogue in wild when it released. While now the same decks use different cards it still made an archetype flourish at its release.
Interesting video. A lot of people say cards that don’t see play are bad, but not always. Sometimes a great card is stranded because it lacks a supporting archetype in that class.
Awesome video! I actually ran professor slate in my quest hunter deck. It helped me out if I had slow games against priests or Druids. I also teched snowball fight for a little because of switcheroo priest.
Professor Slate was good in quest hunter until it got rotated out. You're casting a lot of low-cost damage spells, but struggle in killing even mid-HP minions without sacrificing lots of face damage, so just using him on turn 4 with Wound Prey he's at least a 3 mana 3/4 with Battlecry: deal 3 damage to a minion. View him as a tempo card like SI:7 agent with insane lategame/topdeck potential and he's pretty good. Keeping him in hand for the perfect moment just doesn't work. Also an easy way to deal with the 7/7 bodies attatched to quests. By efficiently dealing with minions you can just keep pumping your hero powers into face.
A lot of deathrattle minion based cards end up being top picks in arena because of their value. Some cards arent born for standard because of how efficient spells can be however when you cant garuntee spell removal raw minion stats get sooooo much better. Hot take though on the stormpike marshal. That card may see play soon. 1 mana 2/5 with all these hunters running around sounds really nice.
Gotta disagree with you on a lot of this, mojo master definitely saw play, the shaman dragon did see a bit of play too, and the lion also did see a lot of play
Mojo master was an early tech card that everyone eventually cut. Lion was sometimes in the deck but if it was it was always the 30th card and the first one cut if you wanted to put something else in
I will say, saying cursed vagrant is a 14/10 is not accurate. It’s in 2 halves so you wouldn’t say the damage is up because, assuming unbuffed, it wont do 14 in a single hit. It is more accurately a 7/10 with, as you said, half the health in stealth.
Same, I didn't have one of the cards from the best decklist so I threw Bloodstinger in instead as I had a copy. Every time it pulled a Zephrys or key card of my opponent, I was sooooooooo happy
Squall hunter saw a TON of play. It wasn't always viable but shaman was my main class and it was in at least 1/3 of the decks I played. I don't remember if it was just in the teir 2 decks but it was there
Hunter seems to have a whole history of insanely powerful control cards, but blizzard just never printed enough cards to ever make the control hunter deck
Its funny seeing this after a few months after this video was released battleworn vanguard and entitled customer is basically a staple on both warlock and DH
Surprised you showed squallhunter but not the lightning breath Shaman also got that same set. The "3 mana flamestrike" that never worked because Shaman doesn't have enough dragons.
Indeed. But highlander decks always had to run some subpar cards because of the deckbuilding restraint. Its premium stats with a great control effect but hunter rarely finds itself playing that kind of role.
Mojomaster and Umbral Skulker see alot of play in that current time standard Mojomaster being perfect distrupt for combo decks at the time and Umbral Skulker that makes 20/20+ Edwin Vancleef easily using Shadowstep(s)
Here’s the thing. Blizzard still makes cards that aren’t meant for constructed. Over half the cards you mentioned in this video are A+ picks in arena. Now I know arena is not what it use to be but it was, for a time, a big draw for HS.
Good content overall! I’ve definitely seen about half of these on ladder in their respective releases for sure though. And some as you alluded to will probably get a chance to shine a little brighter with the rotation. A couple things that I’ve noticed in your videos, you say “Ton” and “Insane” a lot. Also the the “please subscribe” popping up multiple times is a little desperate. Just observations. Looking forward to the next one!
I'd say minions who's deathrattle summons another minion should be seen as having double health but not double attack since only one part of the minion will exist on the battlefield, so cursed vagrant is more of a 7 mana 7/10, which is good but not as absolutely insane as a 14/10 would be
That doesn't make any sense. Let's say you played Sludge Belcher and your opponent has to trade into it with minions. He has to deal 5 and then 2 damage, and his minions take 3 and then 1 damage. If you evalaute Sluch Belcher as a 3/7 you're undervalueing it. The point is not that the card is exactly the same as a 4/7, but it's just to compare its stats to other minions of the same mana cost that way. Your suggestion doesn't really make sense for that.
Honestly, I played most these cards and everyone thought I was nuts, but why would I take away from the fun of exploring card interactions just because its not consider meta?
I really disagree with a few of these. Snowball fight is awful. Even if there were more board based strategies, it hits your own board too. Not hard to find clips of this card ending up with a negative effect. Cards that can outright hurt your position need to have a massive upside to counteract, which Snowball Fight does not have. Cursed Vagrant didn't see play because it doesnt do anything. Its just a ton of stats, its basically pack filler. And Mojomaster Zihi is absolutely horrendous, it is a meme card. Idk how you think this card could be considered "insane".
Zihi was great to counter combo decks, which is the reason she actually saw a lot of play during Rastakhan's Rumble (tho it fell off once the meta wasn't combo based anymore) With the other 2 I agree
@@normie2716 Sometimes. Occasionally you can find something crazy like the Withered Tiller/Hystera combo or just something weak that got that last piece it needed to be great. Now if only we can have that for our Shaman Frost legendary
Good content overall. These kinds of history channels are always interesting. The one thing is, and maybe for this video it can be argued it's a more opinion based video, some of your videos seem like they would benefit from more research. Some of the cards included here did in fact see play, as well as cards like Cursed Vagrant being just a bad card in recent Hearthstone. Cards like that have been unplayable for a long time, especially in control decks. That would be comparable to Dr. Boom imo, which for a time was considered one of the best cards in the game, but now you'll have a hard time finding it at all in wild with just how much power creep there has been. It's wild so it's not a perfect comparison, but it's been some time since straight stat cards have been insane late game win-cons.
I've seen a lot of your vids in a really short time and I have to say, your editing is great, you're adding a lot with your comments but you're often wrong. I've played since the beginning of the game and usually when you're talking about the old Hearthstone you're usually wrong (especially the vids when you're talking about Gadgetzan). I don't say you didn't, play it's been a long time anyway. I've actually seen (almost) all these cards been played in a deck that's been at least tier 2 and even tier 1. They were of course not the main card of the deck but they were still adding a lot.
The thing this video doesn’t consider whatsoever that any of these cards you mentioned were priority pick for arena. Again though, half the cards you mentioned were stables to a lot of decks.
Yea no shit obviously he's talking about standard. When we talk about whether a card 'sees play' it is always implied that it is viable in competitive. He does not considere all these cards may have been played in mediocre decks either, or indeed in mediocre game modes like arena.
Many mistakes have done in this video; Most of those cards have seen a lot of plays when they were released. -Mok'Nathal Lion used in Deathrattle Hunter which was able to get a lot of wins in Ashes of Outland meta. It wasn't on top of the meta but quite good. -Umbral Skulker was very very popular in OTK Rogue decks. Personally I used her a thousand times and saw rogues played her relentlessly against every type of deck. -Battleworn Vanguard has been recently nerfed... Because it was too powerful. Do you really play Hearthstone? And almost all the other cards have seen a lot of play even in meta.

It was beautiful playing it against big priests that waited patiently to get 7 mana and were about to clean your board or refill theirs
Exactly! I was so confused. I ran this in my tempo hooktusk deck just cuz it shut so many decks out from being able to play. Loved it sm
Plus it was just great tempo late game as it allowed you to spend 5 mana on other things then play this and then your opponent would only have half the mana you just spend to reply.
Zihi also saw a ton of play in wild in even warlock back when more combo decks exist

The one thing is, and maybe for this video it can be argued it's a more opinion based video, some of your videos seem like they would benefit from more research. Some of the cards included here did in fact see play, as well as cards like Cursed Vagrant being just a bad card in recent Hearthstone. Cards like that have been unplayable for a long time, especially in control decks. That would be comparable to Dr. Boom imo, which for a time was considered one of the best cards in the game, but now you'll have a hard time finding it at all in wild with just how much power creep there has been. It's wild so it's not a perfect comparison, but it's been some time since straight stat cards have been insane late game win-cons.
A lot of these saw a lot of play in arena copium
Arena is a different beast
Wild BloodStinger was the shit LMAO. I had many fun times with it in my Beast Hunter.
I've seen a lot of your vids in a really short time and I have to say, your editing is great, you're adding a lot with your comments but you're often wrong. I've played since the beginning of the game and usually when you're talking about the old Hearthstone you're usually wrong (especially the vids when you're talking about Gadgetzan). I don't say you didn't, play it's been a long time anyway. I've actually seen (almost) all these cards been played in a deck that's been at least tier 2 and even tier 1. They were of course not the main card of the deck but they were still adding a lot.
Really wish priest had demon hunters death rattle minions
The thing this video doesn’t consider whatsoever that any of these cards you mentioned were priority pick for arena. Again though, half the cards you mentioned were stables to a lot of decks.
Yea no shit obviously he's talking about standard. When we talk about whether a card 'sees play' it is always implied that it is viable in competitive. He does not considere all these cards may have been played in mediocre decks either, or indeed in mediocre game modes like arena.
A ritz crackers commercial told me to say good game even if I lose… should of been a saltines would of been funnier
Many mistakes have done in this video; Most of those cards have seen a lot of plays when they were released.
-Mok'Nathal Lion used in Deathrattle Hunter which was able to get a lot of wins in Ashes of Outland meta. It wasn't on top of the meta but quite good.
-Umbral Skulker was very very popular in OTK Rogue decks. Personally I used her a thousand times and saw rogues played her relentlessly against every type of deck.
-Battleworn Vanguard has been recently nerfed... Because it was too powerful. Do you really play Hearthstone?
And almost all the other cards have seen a lot of play even in meta.
