Trump just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos, it has helped drastically in my own arena play and I have learned alot from your helpful commentary and videos!
I love how heavily you edit it so there's as little downtime as possible, rather than just uploading the entire stream from twitch, loading times and all :D
I extend a challenge to you Trump. Make a viable double shadowform deck. I searched on youtube for one and found nothing. I'd really like to see it, I find shadowform to extremely entertaining. I hope he reads this!
Yeah I have a Shadow Priest deck but it uses Soul Priest and other related combos like circle of healing. I think Soul Priest is just all around better than shadowform. For one Soul priest is temporary so you have the option and can heal later, plus its a 3/5 for 4 so its basically Senjin with a good effect.
Kippydahcamper I dunno... shadow form really does seem to work wonders for me at the right times. The earlier you can play it, the more you will dominate the game. I don't know about double shadowform though
karlzone2 It seems kinda slow. I'd rather just play a minion on 3, then soulpriest on 4. I get the same effect of Shadowform but I get a minion and its flexible not permanent.
Kippydahcamper It is very hard to protect your soulpriest though. But yes the deck is much less fast than it could be. The time where I mostly get to use it (if early), is the turn after I summoned a tazdingo, while the opponent tries to get through with his raptor. In late game shadowform does allow you to cast your hero ability twice in one turn; once heal and once dps.
I have an idea. Instead of shadow form being priest only, make it available for everyone. Change the description to "Turn your hero ability into a shadow ability or if already a shadow ability turn it into a (not got a name) shadowier ability" and it basically changes your ability just like it does with priest. Mage turns to frost bolt. a 1 damage freezing spell. Paladin gets 1/1s with divene shield. Shaman gets advanced totems like mana tide and flame tongue added to the r n g. warrior gives your minions 2 armor (or just health). Warlock gives your opponent 2 health to draw a card. Rogue lets you dual wield, wind fury 2/2 dagger. Druid gives any minion 1/1. Hunter turns into wild shot, dealing 2 damage to a random minion. when played again just improves each of these. For shaman give totems plus 1/1. for pally give 2/2 with divine shield. For warlock heal plus 3 and get 2 cards. Rest are pretty obvious, just add 1. Blizzard Entertainment
Morgaith Yes. I was thinking of that being a, do no damage but freeze. Which is still fairly powerful. If you have an idea of what the shadow mage abillity could be, do tell. Im stumped.
Ginger Dwarf Maybe something like Reduce an enemy minion's attack by 1 or reduce a minions attack by 2 for this round only - cost 2 mana, this could save you your minions while trading.
can i ask why you would take a 3rd temple enforcer over flesheating, also isnt spellbreaker listed #1 in your list, shouldnt you have at least 1 silence? Shadowform over big game hunter when you only have 1 hard removal?
After watching hours and hours of Trumps streams, remembering his strategies, trying to learn from his playstyle, trying to always pick the card he would've picked while drafting and still not being able to do consistently half decent arena runs I deducted that I must just be an idiot :D No seriously I'm not asking for much, but rarely going more than 4-3 is kinda disheartening
Do not dishearting yourself, Trump is very lucky with not only his draw but opponents too. I mean, i never saw so much bad players in arena run, at least in europe region.
happy birthday to trumb happy birthday to trumb i hop you get some good things :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can try to not suck :D Just kidding. Really, just try to win board control early on with favourable trades and then think about what your opponent can do to counter your plays. Thinking one turn ahead is usually enough to put you ahead of your opponent. Always know what your specific deck is weak to and try to reduce exposure to that weakness.
to go along with funwithgames1's comment, you need more 2 and 3 mana cost creatures so that you don't fall behind early. But they have to be good creatures too. Mostly just listen to Trumps commentary as he drafts and pay attention to the cards he lists as garbage and stay away from those.
Don't you just love shaman decks with no fire elementals, no overload cards, and no removal!? Not to mention the lack of dark iron dwarf, yeti, ssc, silver hand knight, ooze, or a single minion over 6! Haha those are the best...
I LOVE Spellbreaker, 3 pains is too much, unless you are facing specific match-ups, so i'd definitely would pick him, despite having that many 4s. I think spellbreaker is an underrated card. I totally agree northshire cleric is overrated (while still being good), though.
i don't get the priest's hero ability. if it does 2 damage to enemy characters already, why would anyone use shadow form? clearly i'm missing something here.
The Priest's hero ability is "Restore 2 Health". Once you play Auchenai Soulpriest, hero powers and spells that restore health deals damages instead. It allows you to deal 2 damages with you hero ability. But if it gets killed, your hero ability restores health again. Shadow Form transforms the hero ability.
Fought my first arena today, went five three with a very weak shaman deck although I drafted very well thanks to your videos, every single person I fought had a legendary what are the odds of that, especially on my first run come on game
He's testing the hell out of that Beta. 12-1 best test. No, but seriously, hardcore players tend to make some of the best Beta testers because they tend to pick the game apart and push its limits.
VelvetFoxAssassin In the Arena, you sometimes have to settle for cards that aren't the best or even good. Either way, to say that he isn't testing the game is disingenuous.
vycka1234 Isn't that the point of beta testing? Beta testing is more than playing a narrow aspect of the game. In his case, the better cards. After every patch Blizzard should expect their beta testers to test every card to make sure there are no problems. To put EVERY card against every other card to see if something breaks. Constructed and Arena. It is disingenuous to play only the good cards during BETA TEST. I don't think I and other real testers should have to carry all the work load.
VelvetFoxAssassin It's not a 'narrow' aspect of the game by any means(Trump plays Constructed as well as Arena, by the way). Not to mention, it's not just the good cards that get played as you're not always given a choice of good cards. Oh, but every card does get played by the beta testers. Beta testing isn't a one-man job and across all the testers, including Trump, every card gets played against every other card hundreds of times. You and other 'real' testers aren't carrying all the work load. Everyone who's playing Hearthstone is doing their part in testing the game and Trump plays a LOT. There's probably no better way to test a game than to just let people naturally play the game. I actually believe that imposing stipulations like "every beta tester must play every card against every other card at least once after every patch" would be counter-productive to testing.
This must have been so tedious to edit. The content you put out is just excellent. Subscribed for sure
now i get why thers no music on stream, with all those cuts it would mess up youtube vid
And Copyright
Trump just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos, it has helped drastically in my own arena play and I have learned alot from your helpful commentary and videos!
Priest, must be a full arena run, getting 12 wins!
Video length: 1:26:02
Yep.
I love how heavily you edit it so there's as little downtime as possible, rather than just uploading the entire stream from twitch, loading times and all :D
LOL @ the first loss

His reaction to the first loss is great.
Holy cow, i love how many videos trump does a day, I'm gonna donate
Waiting for the 4 fiery war axe game from yesterday ;P
That was quite an amazing deck for arena.
39:25 priest into bear, nova, novice into aldor, faerie dragon into assassin, moves I learned from trump!
Haha, that 11th game, against the paladin. Triple Truesilver, double consecrate. Classic.
I really enjoy your vids Trump :) keep up the good work! do some vids with force! :D
i love this description on the light well, "no one uses the light well" *WoW true story*
at 34min..........what?!
That warlock played quite nicely . Brilliant last turn :)

I like the idea but freezing spell for mage is kinda op for 2 mana freeze anything.
Morgaith Yes. I was thinking of that being a, do no damage but freeze. Which is still fairly powerful. If you have an idea of what the shadow mage abillity could be, do tell. Im stumped.

That warlock in game 5 out-Trumped Trump!
In a priest arena draft my first choice was between argent commander vs sunwalker. Which one u value more? I picked commander btw
Sunwalker cause you could heal him :)
commander
They are both very good cards and its kind of a contextual question, but I'd take commander. Commander is really, really, really strong.
i noticed that trump, majority of the time, opens packs and the boxes in a pentagram shape.
Amazing deck, amazingly played! :)
Does someone know how to get rid of the channel picture in the top right when on the mobile youtube app?
i need help to not waste my free arena, wich should i choose? . mage, warrior or hunter? none of those 3 are my main classes,(paladin,priest,chaman)
Man you can really see people who watch trumps videos, those that go for board control and draw, pick cards in his state of mind.
can i ask why you would take a 3rd temple enforcer over flesheating, also isnt spellbreaker listed #1 in your list, shouldnt you have at least 1 silence? Shadowform over big game hunter when you only have 1 hard removal?
Almost 100% sure trump has seen a golden kodo on this channel and said he's never seen one, subsequrntially
Game 5 was sick
After watching hours and hours of Trumps streams, remembering his strategies, trying to learn from his playstyle, trying to always pick the card he would've picked while drafting and still not being able to do consistently half decent arena runs I deducted that I must just be an idiot :D
No seriously I'm not asking for much, but rarely going more than 4-3 is kinda disheartening
Do not dishearting yourself, Trump is very lucky with not only his draw but opponents too. I mean, i never saw so much bad players in arena run, at least in europe region.
nice lock all-in
I wonder if this is a repeated video, or if I have seen this on stream :p
Much Twos Many Wow
Saying how majestic
What happens if you play 3 (or more) shadowforms?
I would assume that the secondary effect occurs again.
You get the bonus effect for one turn only I think.
happy birthday to trumb happy birthday to trumb i hop you get some good things :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't seem to get very far when i attempt to do an Arena run... any tips? :)

Keep watching some trump videos, maybe? :P
DisguisedNinjas Haha, thanks! :)
Tododialisimo Will do!
what's the point in shadowform if the normal priest ability does 2 damage and heals for 2?
he had auchenai soulpriest on the field which makes healing do damage instead.
crunchy joe ah i see, thank you
Don't you just love shaman decks with no fire elementals, no overload cards, and no removal!? Not to mention the lack of dark iron dwarf, yeti, ssc, silver hand knight, ooze, or a single minion over 6! Haha those are the best...

3 pains is not too much. Spellbreaker is an ok card
Trump isnt wearing his traditional razer shirt :o
No card you would pick 100% of the time? I'm pretty sure ive never passed on argent commander, although i suppose sittuationally he could be passed..
Defender of Argus is arguably usually better.
***** I was more thinking about silvanus windrunner. (sorry if I spelled that wrong)
Tibovl Sylvanas cannot be compared to argus or commander since its a legendary, the others are rare.
i don't get the priest's hero ability. if it does 2 damage to enemy characters already, why would anyone use shadow form? clearly i'm missing something here.
The Priest's hero ability is "Restore 2 Health". Once you play Auchenai Soulpriest, hero powers and spells that restore health deals damages instead. It allows you to deal 2 damages with you hero ability. But if it gets killed, your hero ability restores health again. Shadow Form transforms the hero ability.
every time he plays shadowform i think mhhh he changed to the dark side of the might xD
No mind control? i don't even get holy nova's -.-
Shadowform is so fun :D
He's not even looking at the board
3 shadow pains on 3 kodos value much.
Fought my first arena today, went five three with a very weak shaman deck although I drafted very well thanks to your videos, every single person I fought had a legendary what are the odds of that, especially on my first run come on game
If you go 12-0 you should get a golden or normal legendary
Woot!
i love your video but you are choosing your cards too fast, I wanna know more why you choice your cards , please. greetings from sweden
Logo is blocking your face :/
i love you trump
comment number 52 oh em gee
How does this guy justify his BETA testing when he doesn't test the beta?
He's testing the hell out of that Beta. 12-1 best test.
No, but seriously, hardcore players tend to make some of the best Beta testers because they tend to pick the game apart and push its limits.
vycka1234
Doubtful. You'd have to play Every card. Not just the better ones. Real beta testers push the game to the limits.
VelvetFoxAssassin In the Arena, you sometimes have to settle for cards that aren't the best or even good. Either way, to say that he isn't testing the game is disingenuous.
