I feel like getting two copies of Ra-Den and then never getting a turn where actually PLAYING Ra-Den is the optimal move is a universal experience for this deck

[@AidanWR]

He had plenty of time to play it, just chose for more pressure with Amun'thul. Always had a slightly better play

[@UranoSteam]

I'm so mad it's always the cool decks that aren't reliable

[@PokerJoker811]

​@UranoSteam If it were reliable, it wouldn't be cool. (See: Almost every "pushed" archetype that has succeeded in the history of the game.)

[@UranoSteam]

@@PokerJoker811 lol that is literally not true. Earthens are now reliable and cool. Infinite priest is reliable and cool. Mining rogue is ( kinda ) reliable and cool.

I've been having a lot of great results in this deck by substituting the potion and pip for ini and two of the 0 cost spells that dredge a card in your deck and reduce its cost by 3 if it's a spell. It's been great for getting automatons earlier and turning around bad boards later in the game

[@emp-ty-g]

what do you mean by ini?

[@danieladler5534]

I mean the 5 mana legendary who copies a mech and gives it rush and windfury and divine shield

[@TheMikester9]

Well he's running Illuminate in this video too, but Ini is a card I haven't considered, might be underrated

[@emp-ty-g]

@@danieladler5534 ok thx. many times i have used the 1 mana cards b4 pip is worth anything. so gonna try your version.

[@vitormelo3295]

Keep up the good work Kibler

[@adre2k2]

If he Amanthul'd the 4/7 part of the Gigafin, would Kibler have gotten back his minions on its death?

[@calvinwong1221]

Amunthul removes them from the game, so deathrattles and other effects do not trigger.

[@calvinwong1221]

To clarify, yes, I think he should get them back if he poofs the 4/7 then kills the 7/4, since the 4/7 deathrattle is what prevents you from getting your minions back. I've never seen it in practice tho lol

[@TheMikester9]

He didn't have a way to poof the 4/7 and still kill the 7/4 that turn, and was probably more concerned with not taking 7 to the face than getting the previous board back.

[@TheBreathless24]

Death = Triggers the "Deathrattle" effect
Remove from the game = Triggers nothing.
Aman'Thul doesn't "kill" two minions, it removes them from the game completely. So no.
Same thing with Sargeras's portal. If you choose the suck all minions into the nether ability, it doesn't kill them. It removes them from the game.

[@user-cp6xi9io4y]

It's a different keyword, "remove" doesn't trigger deathrattles as those cards aren't destroyed to begin with.

[@Hyde_Hill]

Could have maybe won earlier if he traded the astalor into the 4 1 instead of the 2 1. As then the defile would have been harder. Guess he changed his mind mid trade.

[@ShadowmancerLord]

Yeah I feel like that was a huge misplay tbh

[@drunyon214]

It was a big misplay, but the opponent would have just played his Armor Vendor before the Defile and the result of the Defile would end up the same-- only a 6/1 lives, but the Armor Vendor would be dead.

[@ddyang9172]

Nice I'm first hahha

[@emp-ty-g]

no i used invisible writhing
