@@Arenuphis You have to reveal and cast the card the moment you topdeck it to cast it as a Miracle. Hence why its called "Miracle", even though you can alter the top of your deck and just make Miracles happen with cards like Brainstorm.
I mean the Snake is way more powerful than most miracle cards, and doesn't require being the first card you drew for turn. Giving a random creature a Deathtouch counter is pretty cool especially without a cost.
Castle Nathria is in the shadow lands, shadow lands is the post-life of WoW, Castle Nathria is like the purgatory, and that's why we dont have a lot of undead in the set, they are just dead dead
I despise the entire lore of the Shadowlands. Supposedly the Lich King based his entire undead army on the armies of Maldraxxus yet it’s the afterlife so why the fuck did they have ABOMINATIONS CREATED BY SEWING TOGETHER MULTIPLE CORPSES AND THEN REANIMATING THE MASS OF FLESH IN THE FUCKING AFTERLIFE?! HUH?! I guess they’ll just make up some dumb excuse like, “oh, this is the afterlife for the entire cosmos so there’s just a planet out there with bloated three-armed bald guys who have their intestines exposed. Yeah they just look like that.”
I think the flavor with Serenity destroying the minions is the same as Sword to Plowshares exiling creatures. It's not that they are getting so chill they die. It's that they get so chill that they just go home and stop fighting.
Yeah that sounds reasonable tbh, given that Hearthstone doesn't have anything like exile. 'Peaceful removal' is one of my favourite types of flavour in card games, I love the thought of making a giant world-threatening eldritch god into a chill farmer with a quiet life in the country.
Magic doesn't have "When you draw this" but it does have Miracle which says "If this is the first card you drew this turn, you can cast this card for its miracle cost" which is a hugely reduced cost.
The way I understood the Serenity card "story" is that they find peace of mind and walk away from the battlefield because they have no more fight left in them.
The way I understood it is that they probably just had -2 attack for the rest of the game but it felt bad to just have 0 attack creatures lying around doing nothing, so they changed it to sweep away the rubbish.
@@KuroroSama42 Yeah, that's what I'm saying - I don't think there's a "narrative" for this interaction. I think it's specifically there because of game mechanics (minions with zeroes lying around is not fun).
since deathrattles are usually themed as the minion dying, i think this interpretation is only thematically consistent if it has a remove from game effect instead of a destruction effect. which would be really cool i think, because we don't see that mechanic often and it'd be interesting to see priests try to set it up to work in their favor, but maybe it'd be a little overpowered for a 4-mana priest soft board clear, idk.
13:50 i think they added mana cost into it just incase they create a card that can bounce locations to hand, or use mana cost on cards that are on board, but if hey never do then its fine. its their default. every token created a thing has a things cost as base cost, like we saw with the: [Hearthstone] The cost of Cheese Elementals summoned by Muensterosity will now be based on their stats instead of always 9 (muensterosity is the 9 mana taunt elemental that summons elemental without any text at all but same stats as muensterosity)
@4:10 Worgens aren't Beasts because they're Humanoid like the other significant sentient races. Worgen are specifically just magically cursed Humans, after all. Beast is largely reserved for the less sentient kind of beasts which Hunters could tame. On another funny lore note, Worgen are also traditionally immune to the Curse of Undeath resulting in major conflict between the groups, so there also won't normally be an Undead Worgen either. But both Hearthstone and WoW play a bit loose with that lore I'm sure, like Worgen Death Knights being allowed as characters. So (nerd voice) ackshually BOTH tribal tags on Dire Worgen were wrong! The first Kobold was also missing a Pirate tag. ;p
Because Wizards of the Coast are the developers behind MtG, the game CGB plays. It's like if he had to come up with a Hearthstone expansion on the spot, and came up with "Blizzards"
I love hearing Rarran praise and encourage the guest about how well they did, it feels so wholesome and genuine and we need more of that in the world ❤️
The Four-tune Fortuner card would probably see play in wild in some aggro decks. It draws 4 mana WORTH of cards, so if you have 0 mana cards, it can draw them out for free randomly, and if your opponent's deck is heavier, they'll draw 1-2 cards and you'll draw 2-4 cards.
I think it's a really cool strategy to ask "what story is being told" bc it's true, hearthstone cards' flavors of being able to tie the art, the name, to the effect, their place in lore, are all amazing that custom card creators rarely hit perfectly [but sometimes they are amazing at it].

"this would turn your whole hand into coins and then you'd have nothing to do" I have definitely died to more than one Rogue with nothing but a handful of coins and a Sinstone Graveyard.
Well hold on there, Worgens WERE classified as beasts since you COULD skin them. But in cataclysm with the release of the worgen race, the skin-ability was removed. They are classified as humanoid but if you wanted to be REALLY specific they are beasts if we are talking Sons of Arugal. Most worgens have a human form and some are just the beast.
“Are Worgen only in World of Warcraft” I believe the answer to that is yes. There was a like… 4 or 5 year time gap between Warcraft 3 and WoW coming out. In that time, Chris Metzen (the main Writer for the story) added a lot of things to the lore that were never before seen. They released some RPG stuff and some additional lore books after WC3 but before WoW that kinda set up some of the major stories. The Titans? Invented after WC3 but before WoW. The dragons each having their own unique colors and flights? Invented between the games. Worgen? Between the games I’m pretty sure. They were invented as an excuse to keep Gilneas (a major kingdom from Warcraft II) out of the game. It was like, “Why can’t we go to Gilneas? It’s RIGHT here!” “Oh, they built up a wall because of some rumored curse or something.”
You know someone definitely doesn't know anything about Hearthstone when they see a rager of any expansion with 5/1 stats and ponder if it's fake or not. That card's a meme since day one.
"I have faith in the integrity of spellcheckers in Blizzard". Meanwhile, a card named Florist had a typo for almost 3 weeks: "at then end of your turn". And they couldn't be bothered to fix it.
Castle Nathria is a zone in Shadowlands, basically Purgatory. Kael'thas died in Burning Crusade, the very first expansion, and here we see him paying for his sins. That's why he's called "sin"-strider. Technically, is just his soul, so I guess that's the excuse Blizzard would tell you to not add the undead tag.
though it's common when non-hs players are in this content they often say stuff like "surely you wouldn't give me X fakes in a row" this is the first time i've seen a contestant purely try to interact with everything BUT the card and just play the mindgame lol also him describing ragers as "filler cards" is so spot on lmao
Actually magic does in fact have a mechanic that triggers when you draw the card that has it, it is called Miracle. Basically if the first card you draw on a turn is a card with Miracle, you can reveal that card, and may immediately cast it for its Miracle cost rather than its actual mana cost. This ignores the cards usual timing, so you can cast creatures and sorceries at instant speed, even on opponent's turns if I remember correct.
another correction here from wow player, worgens are imune to the plague of undead. They can not be undead. Undeads were summon from emerald dream by people of gilneas as a weapon against undead armies.
“Somebody corrected me: Worgen are not beasts.” Brother, this entire card is false. Worgen arent beasts and they also can’t be raised as undead unless they retconned that. The expansion where Worgen were introduced as a playable race actually had them face this dilemma- they were being invaded by the Forsaken (Sylvanas’ faction of undead who broke away from the Lich King’s control) and they were being turned into undead. The remaining regular people of Gilneas looked at the Worgen curse as horrific, but they thought an eternity in servitude to Sylvanas was worse. Some of the final humans not infected by the Worgen curse willingly chose to become a Worgen so they couldn’t be turned into undead. So Dire Worgen is just an entire lie. Worgen aren’t beast and they CANT* be undead (asterisk because they allowed Worgen to be Death Knights and just said those ones were unique from a DIFFERENT Worgen curse… somehow)
I’m pretty sure the lore reason for worgen DKs is that they are raised by the lich king personally and his magic is stronger than the worgen curse. Could be wrong tho But yea, I was thinking the same thing, thanks for writing it out so clearly XD
Honestly Four-tune Fortuner seems like a great rogue or aggro card. Your opponent maybe draws 1, and you draw 2 coins, 2 shadowstep, and 4 1 cost minions.
I heard it as "Wizards of the troupe", which feels a lot more viable for overall them cohesion across the classes. I do wanna know what cards warrior would get in the Trope set though.
Karrrghas would actually be insane for Miracle Rogue. There's no way he'd be allowed, despite being real art from the game which made the first one tricky.
for the kaelthas lore he dies during TBC, revealed in shadowlands that when he passed on his soul went to revendreth (where the castle nathria raid is) and one of the encounters is the "sun king's salvation" where you have to save his soul that's being imprisoned by the jailer who's harvesting his anima to do generic evil nefarious things because blizzard really gave up on story telling.
49:28 wondering if CGB has a higher evaluation of the Mortal Kombat power level because he doesnt realize you have to have enough life to survive your opponent's board. Fighting stuff with your face doesnt really translate to mtg.
Castle Nathria is the home of the namesake legendary of the expansion, Prince Renethal, and his father, Lord Denathrius. Striking a deal with the other prime legendary of the expansion, The Jailer, Lord Denathrius agreed to send all of the anima, the essence of all life in Azeroth, to the Maw in exchange for great and terrible power. This is also a raid in retail WoW where you get to kill Denathrius, and in this raid you get to meet Kael'Thas Sunstrider, marking his 3rd appearance as a boss in WoW PvE history. More lore in response.
The reason KTS is in Castle Nathria is because the Venthyr, the native residents of the realm of Venthyr and dreadlords, are the repenters of the Shadowlands. If you are filled with the sin of Pride and believe you superior to your fellow man, this is where you go to repent through torture and humbling, as you are now put into being the underling of the Venthyr. KTS, the Prince of Quel'thalas, and an arch mage of the great city of Dalaran, is filled with pride for his people and his own abilities, and not for no reason as he and his people are a strong, beautiful, and powerful people and KTS was the most powerful among them. He needed special care and humbling, so was sent straight to be supervised by the big man himself, Lord Denathrius, to make sure KTS learns humility. But as KTS was a powerful and strong soul, he had a great deal of anima in him, making it so he became an... anima cow to the Lord, and his sentence was to be harvested until drained, essentially sentenced to a permanent death. In the raid, you fight his tormentors, just a ragtag of Venthyrs with above average strength, and at certain intervals the shadow of KTS. I hope this was comprehensive enough!
all tokens that can be generated have a mana cost associated with them, just in case a player finds a way to interact with it or future content may allow for that to happen. so that in case any of these cases happen, you do not end up stuck with a dead hand slot. Also Four-tune Fortuner would work really well in Mill-Rogue/-Druid. Because those decks looks for very specific low mana cards to throw out there while trying to draw their higher cost cards really late into the game. And as someone that used to play Mill in all it's beautiful variations I can tell you, there is not much more painful than drawing your only two 6 costs and your only 9 cost card very early and having 3 dead cards that you pulled through Oracle. Also, adding to that, this means that your opponent might potentially draw 4 1-Mana cards, increasing your chances of milling them, or a tin of 0 Mana cost cards, burning them up pretty quickly. At the same time also means, when playing this later into the game there are good chances vs specific decks, that mean you get a 4-Mana 4-4 down onto the board and get to draw, while your opponent might not draw at all. Also really good card for Arena too.
I feel like Rarran is underselling Mortal Combat, you do lose a turn, but you gain all your health back and get 10 attack without even having to play it with a board full of minions, especially if you were to be allowed to use it even without enemy minions, the 10 mana is what really shoots it in the foot though, and since warrior is more about armor than health it also lowers the effectiveness, but it still a card that could see some play
15:28 or 40 ?? My man Renathal is looking good since his recent Rarran buffs 20:05 they also just printed a warrior legendary who is literally a 16/16 for 4 mana but yeah he’s the only 16 health minion
Lovin all the CGB collabs. He was my go to content creator when i played magic. Havent played it in ages, so i'm really glad to see him back on my screen on your channel
There technically IS a card in Magic that triggers when you draw it, although it doesn't have that exact line "When you draw this", and it's also from a Silver Border Set: "Letter Bomb", from Unhinged. It shuffles into an opponent's deck, and when they draw it, it deals 19-and-a-half damage to them.
A) I really like these videos since I can sort of put them on in the background and it's like a funny podcast type of video. B) I'm pretty surprised by how good some of these custom cards are, in terms of art, that is. It's worth noting that a LOT of custom Hearthstone cards have actually become real cards in the past few years, with minor changes. C) The Fires of Zin-Azshari is absolutely useless in Constructed mode, even for the memes but was one of the best cards in Arena mode. It was an absolute first pick that could carry the game for you. Even if you used it early on!
No there Is no "when you draw It"... Mtg litterally have "miracle" mechanics that work like this discounting some cards of you happen to draw as First card of the turn.
Castle Nathria is located in the Ravendreth zone of the Shadowlands, which is the afterlife of the warcraft universe. Ravendreth is a place where souls guilty of the sin of pride are sent to atone for their sins, & Kael'thas was the second most prideful character in Ravendreth, behind Garrosh Hellscream.
CGB is great at explaining his thought process. That's the whole reason I watch his videos, they help me learn about the game. This video managed to show he does so even when not playing Magic :)
covertgoblue: "Maybe it summons a desert viper with strike that kills the demon and you get a big guy out for 6 mana" covertgoblue: "But that is SO magical christmas land" xd 8:38
Desert Viper would also be troublesome for the reason that if it hit something that hits aoe suddenly that's going to clear the board for free. Would be a very disgusting card. And on the Cactus Rager, you tell him that it's for a specific set. After already having said that about a bunch of fake cards. It's also funny how CGB talks about how you can keep on buffing the stealthed minion before attacking with it. Well, at that point, you'd much rather just start with something else that comes with stealth and which doesn't also come with a huge drawback of only getting to attack once. And on a side note, stealth isn't specifically lost when attacking. It's when dealing damage.
The issue with Four-tune Fortuner: what happens if you dont have 4 mana worth of cards in your deck? Does it draw you nothing? Does it draw the closest thing to 4 mana worth? Does it give you a generic 4/4 for 4 card?
Dual class was not in a mini set and continued because it was well received. It was the main thing in scholomance and continued in a later mini set because of its initial reception. Just as a heads up.
Rarren: "I spent a lot of time making sure these cards seemed really realistic."

Actually magic does in fact have a mechanic that triggers when you draw the card that has it, it is called Miracle. Basically if the first card you draw on a turn is a card with Miracle, you can reveal that card, and may immediately cast it for its Miracle cost rather than its actual mana cost. This ignores the cards usual timing, so you can cast creatures and sorceries at instant speed, even on opponent's turns if I remember correct.

That Wizards of the Trope response was smooth as SILK! 😄
I could've sworn that Magic had "When you draw this card, reveal it, do an effect" cards
They had miracle which is of you drew it as your first card that turn you could cast it for less mana.
“Somebody corrected me: Worgen are not beasts.”
Brother, this entire card is false. Worgen arent beasts and they also can’t be raised as undead unless they retconned that.
The expansion where Worgen were introduced as a playable race actually had them face this dilemma- they were being invaded by the Forsaken (Sylvanas’ faction of undead who broke away from the Lich King’s control) and they were being turned into undead. The remaining regular people of Gilneas looked at the Worgen curse as horrific, but they thought an eternity in servitude to Sylvanas was worse. Some of the final humans not infected by the Worgen curse willingly chose to become a Worgen so they couldn’t be turned into undead.
So Dire Worgen is just an entire lie. Worgen aren’t beast and they CANT* be undead (asterisk because they allowed Worgen to be Death Knights and just said those ones were unique from a DIFFERENT Worgen curse… somehow)
I’m pretty sure the lore reason for worgen DKs is that they are raised by the lich king personally and his magic is stronger than the worgen curse. Could be wrong tho
But yea, I was thinking the same thing, thanks for writing it out so clearly XD
Rarran really couldn't pull Madness at the Darkmoon Faire out on that illusionist if he really needed to lie about it?
Slander about Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome
Can't believe rarran would just stand by while blue was dissing a rager smh
You two have great chemistry, more of these videos please
These collabs are the best, I appreciate the effort you do preparing and also finding such great guests
I even thought that cactus rager was fake lmao
the ragers are such a meme lmao
Pretty sure Mortal Kombat would never be on a real card since it's a trademark. Great vid though!
Honestly Four-tune Fortuner seems like a great rogue or aggro card.
Your opponent maybe draws 1, and you draw 2 coins, 2 shadowstep, and 4 1 cost minions.
This type of content is my favourite, keep it up Rarran, we love you ❤
I have never played hearth stone but I watch all of the mtg crossovers. Love cgb!
28:05 Interestingly, cameras have been around in Warcraft lore for a while now. Fluffed as sort of 1800s-style with magical (or steampunk) boosts.
I heard it as "Wizards of the troupe", which feels a lot more viable for overall them cohesion across the classes.
I do wanna know what cards warrior would get in the Trope set though.
It would be like Un-sets in magic
Karrrghas would actually be insane for Miracle Rogue. There's no way he'd be allowed, despite being real art from the game which made the first one tricky.
for the kaelthas lore he dies during TBC, revealed in shadowlands that when he passed on his soul went to revendreth (where the castle nathria raid is) and one of the encounters is the "sun king's salvation" where you have to save his soul that's being imprisoned by the jailer who's harvesting his anima to do generic evil nefarious things because blizzard really gave up on story telling.
Rarran: "If I had the time to make these, I woulda"
Also Rarran: Spend 30 + hours on adventures
'when you draw this' happens in the miracle mechanic. Fun episode guys, love these collabs
27:23
Photographer Fizzle: _in shambles_
Can't believe you didn't fully introduce Doug Dimmadome with all of his proud achievements, such as being the owner of the Dimmasdale Dimmadome.
Love CovertGoBlue, his energy is awesome with you Rarran, good vid!
49:28 wondering if CGB has a higher evaluation of the Mortal Kombat power level because he doesnt realize you have to have enough life to survive your opponent's board. Fighting stuff with your face doesnt really translate to mtg.
Castle Nathria is the home of the namesake legendary of the expansion, Prince Renethal, and his father, Lord Denathrius. Striking a deal with the other prime legendary of the expansion, The Jailer, Lord Denathrius agreed to send all of the anima, the essence of all life in Azeroth, to the Maw in exchange for great and terrible power. This is also a raid in retail WoW where you get to kill Denathrius, and in this raid you get to meet Kael'Thas Sunstrider, marking his 3rd appearance as a boss in WoW PvE history. More lore in response.
The reason KTS is in Castle Nathria is because the Venthyr, the native residents of the realm of Venthyr and dreadlords, are the repenters of the Shadowlands. If you are filled with the sin of Pride and believe you superior to your fellow man, this is where you go to repent through torture and humbling, as you are now put into being the underling of the Venthyr.
KTS, the Prince of Quel'thalas, and an arch mage of the great city of Dalaran, is filled with pride for his people and his own abilities, and not for no reason as he and his people are a strong, beautiful, and powerful people and KTS was the most powerful among them. He needed special care and humbling, so was sent straight to be supervised by the big man himself, Lord Denathrius, to make sure KTS learns humility. But as KTS was a powerful and strong soul, he had a great deal of anima in him, making it so he became an... anima cow to the Lord, and his sentence was to be harvested until drained, essentially sentenced to a permanent death. In the raid, you fight his tormentors, just a ragtag of Venthyrs with above average strength, and at certain intervals the shadow of KTS. I hope this was comprehensive enough!
Also exactly correct, KTSinstrider would not be considered to be Undead ad he is NOT reanimated, he is simply dead, essence, a spirit.
For Walking Mountain, why is there no comma between Windfury and Overload?
Oh my god the L.A. Noir sound when he believes your lie about the set killed me XD
all tokens that can be generated have a mana cost associated with them, just in case a player finds a way to interact with it or future content may allow for that to happen.
so that in case any of these cases happen, you do not end up stuck with a dead hand slot.
Also Four-tune Fortuner would work really well in Mill-Rogue/-Druid. Because those decks looks for very specific low mana cards to throw out there while trying to draw their higher cost cards really late into the game. And as someone that used to play Mill in all it's beautiful variations I can tell you, there is not much more painful than drawing your only two 6 costs and your only 9 cost card very early and having 3 dead cards that you pulled through Oracle.
Also, adding to that, this means that your opponent might potentially draw 4 1-Mana cards, increasing your chances of milling them, or a tin of 0 Mana cost cards, burning them up pretty quickly.
At the same time also means, when playing this later into the game there are good chances vs specific decks, that mean you get a 4-Mana 4-4 down onto the board and get to draw, while your opponent might not draw at all.
Also really good card for Arena too.
I feel like Rarran is underselling Mortal Combat, you do lose a turn, but you gain all your health back and get 10 attack without even having to play it with a board full of minions, especially if you were to be allowed to use it even without enemy minions, the 10 mana is what really shoots it in the foot though, and since warrior is more about armor than health it also lowers the effectiveness, but it still a card that could see some play
I cannot believe that "BLIZZARD" released a card called Gaslight Gatekeeper, after their history.
23:12 i was thinking aabout this name when i played the card XDD so funny
15:28 or 40 ?? My man Renathal is looking good since his recent Rarran buffs
20:05 they also just printed a warrior legendary who is literally a 16/16 for 4 mana but yeah he’s the only 16 health minion
No way my man sent "Wizards of the Trope" and didn't burst out laughing like I did
Lovin all the CGB collabs. He was my go to content creator when i played magic. Havent played it in ages, so i'm really glad to see him back on my screen on your channel
28:50 jhin would be proud
There technically IS a card in Magic that triggers when you draw it, although it doesn't have that exact line "When you draw this", and it's also from a Silver Border Set: "Letter Bomb", from Unhinged. It shuffles into an opponent's deck, and when they draw it, it deals 19-and-a-half damage to them.
A) I really like these videos since I can sort of put them on in the background and it's like a funny podcast type of video. B) I'm pretty surprised by how good some of these custom cards are, in terms of art, that is. It's worth noting that a LOT of custom Hearthstone cards have actually become real cards in the past few years, with minor changes. C) The Fires of Zin-Azshari is absolutely useless in Constructed mode, even for the memes but was one of the best cards in Arena mode. It was an absolute first pick that could carry the game for you. Even if you used it early on!
How you are able to say "Doug Dimmadome" without immediately following with owner of the Dimsdale Dimmadome is beyond me.
Dormant is pretty close to either MTG's "Phased Out" or "Suspend"
Mortal kombat would be an incredible tool for control warrior you could clear the board fully heal and deal 10 damage face with 1 card
No there Is no "when you draw It"... Mtg litterally have "miracle" mechanics that work like this discounting some cards of you happen to draw as First card of the turn.
37:39 is that the doubt sound from LA noire?
As a Hearthstone player who hasn't played in a few years, I have no idea if the card is real or not.
@5:05 How CGD didn't think of miracle as an ability is beyond me... Its literally play for a different cost if its the first card you drew that turn.
Another top tier video. You’ve been on fire lately rarran
“When you draw this” is called MIRACLE in Magic the gathering
"Gain +10 Attack" doesn't say "this turn", so it makes your hero have 10 Attack forever. Including your opponent turns. What a baller!
"When you draw this" is absolutely a thing in Magic, it's just followed with "you may reveal it" or similar. Anything with Miracle, for example.
Castle Nathria is located in the Ravendreth zone of the Shadowlands, which is the afterlife of the warcraft universe. Ravendreth is a place where souls guilty of the sin of pride are sent to atone for their sins, & Kael'thas was the second most prideful character in Ravendreth, behind Garrosh Hellscream.
Magic has "when you draw this" in miracle casting costs effectivly
CGB is great at explaining his thought process.
That's the whole reason I watch his videos, they help me learn about the game.
This video managed to show he does so even when not playing Magic :)
covertgoblue: "Maybe it summons a desert viper with strike that kills the demon and you get a big guy out for 6 mana"
covertgoblue: "But that is SO magical christmas land" xd
8:38
Desert Viper would also be troublesome for the reason that if it hit something that hits aoe suddenly that's going to clear the board for free.
Would be a very disgusting card.
And on the Cactus Rager, you tell him that it's for a specific set. After already having said that about a bunch of fake cards.
It's also funny how CGB talks about how you can keep on buffing the stealthed minion before attacking with it. Well, at that point, you'd much rather just start with something else that comes with stealth and which doesn't also come with a huge drawback of only getting to attack once.
And on a side note, stealth isn't specifically lost when attacking. It's when dealing damage.
The issue with Four-tune Fortuner: what happens if you dont have 4 mana worth of cards in your deck? Does it draw you nothing? Does it draw the closest thing to 4 mana worth? Does it give you a generic 4/4 for 4 card?
Dual class was not in a mini set and continued because it was well received. It was the main thing in scholomance and continued in a later mini set because of its initial reception. Just as a heads up.
he said it was in an expansion and a miniset. Main set being scholomance and miniset being festival miniset
