I love how every single one of those had you say "some of them were good,some of them were bad" in the intro,but with this one you said "most of them were absolutely garbage" lol
Rastakhan's was a really bad set because they were intentionally trying to dial back the extreme power creep of the previous year, and so very few of the cards were high impact. This was made even worse because it was the 3rd set of the year (taking the format from 5->6), so it debuted into the largest card pool where few of its card were relevant at all. It was somewhat better after rotation, but it's probably the weakest expansion of all time in terms of card power level. Broken Gronk shit only worked sometimes in standard, so the only high-end deck that was based around a Rastakhan's card was Shirvallah/Holy Wrath paladin, which was a top tier deck for most of it's time in standard. A bunch of the Loas were so bad that even Kibler didn't try and build decks around them.
@@mikejunt thank you good sir for the Hearthstone Historiam. Now let me take the stage about how GARBAGE this expansion was. Because the truth is, power creep is fun. When you remove the power creep, we all end up waiting 4 months for a useless boring expansion 🤔
@@TheForeverScav i mean in a perfect world you make new cards that are equal in powerlevel but bring in new interesting features, but thats just not possible to do on a realistic standpoint. :D
Guff just merrily goes "High Five" and delivers one hell of slap that makes the victims head rotate another 360 degrees each time until it falls off...
Rarran, I regret to inform you, but you missed a Loa - Hakkar, the Soulflayer. Luckily there's a class that didn't get a Loa, so you could run the renowned Hakkar DH deck! As a couple people in chant were rooting for it seems, HAKKAR DH HAKKAR DH.
I made a Hakkar priest deck... It's pretty much a meme but could sometimes actually take games out of much more competitive decks. It... Isn't a good deck though

You should ask people to like the video when you ask them to sub, would prob really boost your channel and push you more in the algorithm. These videos are hilarious and more people should get to see them. They brought me back to regular hearthstone after only playing bgs since its release.
really like these challenges, cant wait for the next one - are the Uldum quests next, or was there a specific legendary theme for Rise of Shadows that I am forgetting?
i haven't even finished the video but i just want to say that, after having played castle nathria in world of warcraft, i'm so glad we weren't the only ones who call denathrius "daddy". my guild called him "Daddy D", to be specific.
That druid maneuver was really clever. Seeing clever plays like that with interesting interactions between cards is one of my favorite things about Hearthstone.
I hit legend with my own shirvallah list that used Call to Arms and LOOT HOARDERS. I'm just glad to see other people using her for anything she's so fun.

Loving these challenges man, can tell you put a lot of effort on your editing, just wanted to let you know I notice and appreciate it. Keep up the great content.
This was a really good video and I hope the feeling of success was worth it. By the way if you ever do the questlines put brann and Zola in your deck so you can get even bigger dudes
I loved Bwonsamdi back when I played this. I shuffling 1 mana Khart-tut defenders into my deck using spirit of the dead and then drawing all of them with bwonsamdi was hilarious.

Yeah let’s go!! I even lurked on the stream for this one. The first warlock game was hilarious twist. Can’t wait for more videos but make sure to rest sometimes, burnout is a bitch
surprised you didn't go with the Bolner + Krag'Wa + Bloom + Pen Flinger + Overdraft combo I suggested in a prior stream - it's super easy to pull off in a Spirit of the Frog shell
Hope you enjoy the video! it was awful to do!
Also make sure to subscribe to be here before 100k!
The second exclamation mark is sending me lmaoo
Bro I was there before 10k :)
Cant wait for the 100k + next challenge, also love the new channel icon.

I don’t understand why you had such a hard time with Hir’eek. He’s one of the best cards to run in evolve shaman decks
Hir'eek is a warlock card, not shaman. So he couldn't use it in shaman deck, bro wtf

As someone who has worked at a movie theater for the newest minions movie 10:54 gave me PTSD flashbacks. Thanks Rarran.
Big fan of the concept of high-five druid
Every time Rarran mispronounced Bwonsamdi, I died inside a little
+ Halazzi

Loving this series, its great to see older cards that didn't quite work in standard do well (or at least decently enough to work) in wild.
really like these challenges, cant wait for the next one - are the Uldum quests next, or was there a specific legendary theme for Rise of Shadows that I am forgetting?
Villains, perhaps?
I always love how these are blasts from the past, seeing cool cards I forgot about
Your videos are the best in a lots of meanings, but they are entertaining in it's purest(in HS type of content)! Keep up the good work!
i haven't even finished the video but i just want to say that, after having played castle nathria in world of warcraft, i'm so glad we weren't the only ones who call denathrius "daddy".

Top 5 most challenging and surprising card challenges would be a great couple of videos to end this series on.
That druid maneuver was really clever. Seeing clever plays like that with interesting interactions between cards is one of my favorite things about Hearthstone.
These videos are the greatest HS entertainment I've ever had. Keep up the great work.
The story telling is what makes these videos. I couldn't give a damn about hearthstone or watching it, but somehow you make it fun.
These series is teaching me how to disenchant legendaries
Today Rarran learned that Bwonsamdi don’t be giving wins for free. Fantastic video
Yooo new challenge just dropped
Thanks for the content my guy ✌️
as someone that is heavily into the troll lore i appreciate you pronouncing these Loa correctly
I hit legend with my own shirvallah list that used Call to Arms and LOOT HOARDERS. I'm just glad to see other people using her for anything she's so fun.
Great video. It is incredible how you can see the depression rising with evry class. Can´t wait for next challenge.

This was my favorite challenge ! Looking forward to the next one with more mental breakdowns

- The Impossible Galakrond Challenge
- The Impossible Prime Challenge
- The Impossible Old Gods Challenge
He did an old gods challenge. Galakrond and Prime challenge sounds extra picante
@@innerchimp9783 he meant the old gods from the darkmoon faire
@@brothatsucks Oh. Fair enough. That would be cool
What about the hardest challenge:
The imposible heartstone challenge.( play standard ranked without getting tilted)
Going back to Rastakhan's Rumble voluntarily... what a madman.
Watching through Rarran''s video history is like seeing him slowly lose his sanity
Love the editing and explanations in this one
Loving these challenges man, can tell you put a lot of effort on your editing, just wanted to let you know I notice and appreciate it. Keep up the great content.
Rarran needs a t-shirt with "If I'm being Honest"
Best hearthstone series ever made. Rarran you fucking genius.
I was really expecting Evolve Shaman for Kragwa. Just using the echo evolve card into kragwa fills your hand with more evolve
I love how Hyreek's flavor text is just...it's a Zubat.
14:42 my favorite loa
Bownswamdi, the not so alive
Me: Say Hu-mon-gus
Rarran: H- h- hamogus
This was a really good video and I hope the feeling of success was worth it. By the way if you ever do the questlines put brann and Zola in your deck so you can get even bigger dudes
Another impossible Rastakhan's Rumble challenge: listen to the theme song just once.
Amazing content as always, Rarran!
Omg when he Gnomed your wincon i pissed myself lol
Little does Rarran know that Hakkar is also a Loa
Great content man, as always.
2:52 My favorite of the ThunderLOLcats
Continue enjoying your vids, I just hope you arent driving yourself too insane to make them lol
I love making good videos, so I’ll suffer for making the content
Your are the best my dude!
I love how most of these victories are just "i used a card to support the loas"

Do the real Rasta challenge- play those dog-booty ass trolls
11:13

I would love to see an episode with barren mercenaries challange (playing 3 generations of the mercanaries (the minion, quest and the hero one))
Haven't wathced it yet, but MAN do I wanna watch 2 times already.
That was dope rarran. Love to the content
Rarran sabotaging his mental health for these challenges
Finally, the cursed challenge we’re all waiting for
"If it was still possible" it wasn't even really possible then either lol
Lol Gral was too stronk insta intimidated the opponent to concede
Pretty cool and creative decks 🔥 great episode 👍
I love Hir’eek so much, one of my favorite decks for no reason
The best TH-cam I love your videos and always are enjoy watching your videos
I hope Dekster never sees this video. He'd be heartbroken seeing a wild Denathrius deck that doesn't include Shu'ma
I can’t believe I never knew that Hi’reek had flavor text referencing Zubat
Ive been waiting for this time, lets fucking go!
You want a serious challenge? Zayle's EVIL cloak. Imagine Whizbang, but the decks haven't been updated since Rise of Shadows.
Actually, I believe they were updated for Saviors of Uldum and Descent of Dragon, I remember the Warlock one being a quest deck when I used it a while ago
imagine not enjoying rarran videos
That didn't look too bad, you played great!
I still reckon this is easier than beating the Rastakhan solo adventure :D

Worth watching just for the Gonk smackeroo :D
Yeah let’s go!!

Always love when some of the decks are actually really cool, even if trash lmao
why at the bottom of the description it says "Today we dive into Legends of Runeterra"?
I really enjoy playing Halazzi into the carnassa quest
As always it was an extremely fun video.
My only fear is that there will be some moment in the future, where you’ll run out of ideas
“Bonswamdi”
- Rarran
Say it with me now: BWON - SAM - DI
13:05 why did mage have that overlay on the hero portrait
surprised you didn't go with the Bolner + Krag'Wa + Bloom + Pen Flinger + Overdraft combo I suggested in a prior stream - it's super easy to pull off in a Spirit of the Frog shell
Maybe you could do the miscellaneous hero challenge? All the random hero cards like Hagatha, Dr.Boom, Reno, maybe even Galakronds, etc
aww i was hoping you would do the totems for Rastakhan
4:28 I see what you did there
you could do one with league of evil and leuage of exploreres from dalaran and uldum
Okay can anyone explain to me what the weasel tunnelers even did in that priest game? I have no idea what their purpose in the deck is.
@Jacob Good ah I see. I thought they had some integral role I just wasnt picking up on. Thanks!
