QUICK CORRECTIONS: - Emperor Thaurissan was originally a 6 mana 5/5 with the same effect. Still a great card though. - Hex: Originally costs 3 mana like in the video, but was changed to 4 mana in the Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion. Therefore, you would use BOTH a 3 mana or 4 mana hex on Flamewreathed Faceless depending on when you were playing. - Kazakus: I showed the wrong Kazakus card. The kazakus from Mean Streets in Gadgetzan was a 4 mana 3/3: If your deck had no duplicates, craft a custom potion (as seen in the video). The one I showed in the video was from Forged in the Barrens. - Irondeep Trogg: was actually nerfed (like every other card from Alterac Valley ). The original text summoned a copy of the trogg minion instead of the base irondeep trogg. This allowed for buffs to be copied over, making the card even stronger. There is over 400 card images in this video so thank you for your patience with me getting some card facts wrong. Please let me know if there is any more mistakes and I'll correct them here.
Not even mentioning Mysterious challenger in grand tournament is criminal, Barnes from kharazan is probably one of the best card ever printed, he alone enabled all the big archetype we see to this day. For all the rest i'm with your choices
So many omissions and mistakes, thaurissan was a 6mana* 5/5 not 5 mana. Hex was changed to 4 mana and then back to 3 mana, but during old gods it was its original 3 mana.
Not having Ilgynoth as the top card considering it lead to so many tournaments becoming ilgynoth simulators for so long is insane, the deck played solitaire and could defend itself against aggro with a wave of damage or lifesteal and destroy any control deck from existing.
Karazahn’s Medivh was awesome just for the staff weapon. High cost spell giving you the same cost minion? Great stuff. Plus it had the best summon music.
Super sick video, love these sort of retrospectives. You kept showing the wrong Kazakus though 😛, during Mean Streets, and when you mentioned Brann (I guess debatable but the Mean Streets one was 10 times more meta relevant and a major Brann combo).
Chau thank you for the history lesson and your high quality editing and videos you deserve to be getting more views. Maybe your key words or something is keeping your videos from getting pushed out.
17:30 - Kobolds and Catacombs was actually really powerful, probably the strongest expansion ever at the time, with decks like Cubelock for example. Witchwood, Boomsday (a set that was buffed as a whole a year after its release) and Rasthakhan were very weak outside of a few specific cards. It was Blizzard's attempt at slowing down powercreep back then. Shudderwock decks were actually really weak back then. The first true top tier Shudderwock deck was Galakrond Shaman. The card actually got better with time (it probably reached its peak during Alterac Valley in Wild) Galakrond's awakening actually had Risky skipper, one of the strongest warrior cards ever. Inner Demon DH was actually a meme deck. It had huge highlights but was very inconsistent. The reason Twin Slice got changed was its busted synergy with Altruis. Kaelthas on the other hand was mostly played in Druid and got a second nerf because of how it enabled FTKs in Wild (they didn't ban cards back then). 49:18 - Hollow Hound was a crazy Hunter card and enabled multiple Tier 1 decks in the class (Hound Hunter and Cleave ABJ Hunter mostly). It only saw marginal play in DK.
Kobold and Catacombs was absolutely busted; Call to arms, Branching paths; Aluneth; Carnivorous Cube; Duskbreaker; Kingsbane; Kobold Librarian; Possessed lackey; Void lord; Warlock weapon that I forgot the name; Psychic scream; Spiteful summoner; So many awesome cards, what a nostalgia. Loved hearthstone so much at that time
The most fun I've ever had in hearthstone was running Holy Wrath/Shirvallah Pali in Rastakahns Rumble and running Battlecry Shaman right before the Pen Flinger nerf.
Totem Golem had its moments, but Secret Paladin was carried to the top off the back of Mysterious Challenger. Plus, I'd be remiss not to mention Justicar True heart, Astral Communion, and Varian Wryn. It's easy to point out all the good cards when there's so few of them.
Really? Paladin was incredibly oppressive during GvG because of it and Shielded Minibot. It's not nowhere near the level of Dr. Seven but still was pretty strong
Put some respect on Gormok the impaler. He was played on zoo warlock at the time, one of the few legendary from tgt that was actually a part of a meta deck. Also, Swashburglar wasn't a great choice in quest rogue as it doesn't really help the game plan on this deck, barnes should have been the pick for Karazhan really, i don't even think that Swashburglar is top 5 card in this expansion. .
Brann+Boomboss is the reason why even playing warrior. I remember how annoying it was for my oponent to deal with Patchwerk and how many times he saved my ass. Now you tell me that I can basicaly multiply that effect??? Who in their right mind thought it was suppose to be "fun"? You just watch your oponents deck dissapear, or yours, if playing mirror and their are faster at finding those two. Awaiting their removal a bit later on when they rotate out. Personaly thinking that effects that you or your oponent cannot counter in any way or at least interact with have no place in Hearthstone, considering them lazy design. Oh wait....Kiljaden in the latest expansion....nvm
Agree with some things, disagree with others. The only ones that really baffled me are Baku and boom. Boom was so dominant during his time that he can’t be missed out, and Baku is probably the strongest card ever if we’re being real
Yeah, it's hard to understate how dominant MechMage was at the time with Goblin Blastmage, Mechwarper, Annoy-O-Tron, Piloted Shredder, and Clockwork Gnome. But Boom was so good, it didn't matter what you were running, you found a spot for him. The value was just too good.
I started playing during the League of Explorers expansion just like you, but quit the game seeing Blizzard's heavy handed approach against Bltizchung. Thanks for the recap.
Just because the message aligns with your views doesn’t make it ok to break the rule of no politics. Imagine if he had shown "go China!" without response from Blizz. Would you find that acceptable?
@@PH4RX Its the heavy handed approach that I had an issue with. Not that there should be no consequences for breaking the rules. Punishing the casters too, who were just bystanders, was messed up too. Do you really think Blizzard would have done the same thing if one of the players said go China? I don't think so. Anyway, if Blizzard did punish the casters for someone saying go China, I'd still be pissed at Blizzard.
@@robobrain10000 I don’t know if a year long ban is heavy handed or not. I have no reference frame. Yes, the casters were punished but I wouldn’t consider them only bystanders. Sure, it’s difficult to say what they could have done or not but, they did nothing but duck away. And I didn’t mean "go China" literally as Blitzchung didn’t say "go Hong Kong". No matter what, it puts the company on the spot and they can’t remain neutral.
My beat Gadgetzan card: Drakonid Operative. It allowed Dragon Priests to join in on the Sticky Fingers Anduin meme and had the best summon voice line. “SECRET AGENT, COMING THROUGH!”
I really mean this as constructive criticism, but this video feels half baked, so many of the visuals were wrong, i.e. wrong versions of cards, not mentioning their original versions, you didnt have the names of some cards correct, you would really benefit from a proper script and double checking your editing. Cool video idea but kind of poor execution.
Fuck Shudderwock. Killed Hearthstone for me. I liked playing control decks and long games with Frost Lich Jaina and other such cards. And Shudderwock killed that entire archetype unless you were also playing a Shudder Shaman. Then, it became a race to whichever Shaman could drop their Shudderwock first and win. Don’t wanna play Shudder Shaman? Okay, play an Aggro deck and rush him down before he can drop his combo. I’m not a big fan of Aggro, but at least I don’t have to play Shudder Shaman for a +50 win percentage. Oh, wait, the Shaman just dropped a Healing Rain and completely negated all of my work on his face. And then he dropped another once I got him down all over again. Okay, he’s out of Rains, so he can’t heal aga-oh, nvm, he just dropped Hagatha and got another Healing Rain, just in time for him to drop his Shudderwock and win. …yay.
After the last month of playig hs and watching this video all I can say is: WHY IS SHADOWSTEP STILL IN THE GAME, AND NOW BREAKDANCE SONYA TIDEPOOL PUPIL AND THE MINI THAT DISCOUNTS 3 MANA
Are you insane? No Jade idol? The very first card to prevent fatigue, permenantly? Absolutely damaged the game beyond all repair? Turned miracle druid into a monster? Nah, we'll put in a card that was annoying in exactly one deck, got nerfed, and was never used again. 😂

Not knowing that Emp Thaurissan costed 6 makes you look a bit unreliable to make this list man 💀 They buffed it less than a year ago
Chaupau. Hi. tickatus and Symphony of Sins(envy). I love mill.
@@fam3871bro emp thaurissan has been out of standard for almost a decade
Not even mentioning Mysterious challenger in grand tournament is criminal, Barnes from kharazan is probably one of the best card ever printed, he alone enabled all the big archetype we see to this day. For all the rest i'm with your choices
Real
So many omissions and mistakes, thaurissan was a 6mana* 5/5 not 5 mana.
Hex was changed to 4 mana and then back to 3 mana, but during old gods it was its original 3 mana.
And I’m 8 minutes into an hour long video. Fuck me this will be rough.
Who am I?
I guess who the mysterious challenger was really was none of his business.
Not having Ilgynoth as the top card considering it lead to so many tournaments becoming ilgynoth simulators for so long is insane, the deck played solitaire and could defend itself against aggro with a wave of damage or lifesteal and destroy any control deck from existing.
No mention of Misterious Challanger? 😌
Stop asking Questions XD
the editing here is wild this had to have taken a bajillion hours to make, bravo!
I still find it criminal that attacking Immovable Object with Unstoppable Force didn't have a special interaction.
Karazahn’s Medivh was awesome just for the staff weapon. High cost spell giving you the same cost minion? Great stuff. Plus it had the best summon music.
Super sick video, love these sort of retrospectives. You kept showing the wrong Kazakus though 😛, during Mean Streets, and when you mentioned Brann (I guess debatable but the Mean Streets one was 10 times more meta relevant and a major Brann combo).
I will not take Galvadon slander, that song is as iconic as he is
you know what you're right mb
Brian kibler’s ex wife, who kind of disappeared?
she just stopped streaming, uploading and tweeting one day
Chau thank you for the history lesson and your high quality editing and videos you deserve to be getting more views. Maybe your key words or something is keeping your videos from getting pushed out.
Thanks for your input! I'm trying it figure it out 😭
The original Dragonqueen was so wild. Discover Alex into Alex into Alex....
i see that im not the only one who called Genn "Glen"

So many awesome cards, what a nostalgia. Loved hearthstone so much at that time
you could probably argue that "Time Out!" (from Rastakhan's Rumble) was the best card from that expansion, but I agree with your choice (Zul'jin)
Honorable mentions: Tuskar Totemic, 7 mana 7/7, Mysterious Challenger, Justicar TrueHearth, Gelatinous Cube, Grimn Patron (Frothing Berserker OTK), Barnes, Prince Renathal, Dirty Rat
Additional Mention: Jade Idol. Fire Plumes Heart.
Didn't know War Golem was one of the best cards in the game
Never mind that first day of school got nerfed TWICE. It was 0 cost add 2, 1 cost add 3, before settling at 1 cost add 2.
The most fun I've ever had in hearthstone was running Holy Wrath/Shirvallah Pali in Rastakahns Rumble and running Battlecry Shaman right before the Pen Flinger nerf.
Chaupau. Hi. tickatus and Symphony of Sins(envy). I love mill.

U ve messed up with Kazakus 11:25

Ironbeak trogg was nerfed, it used to summon a copy of itself so if you buffed it it would copy the buff.
Oh I totally forgot about that I'll add it to the pinned comment. Thanks for letting me know
Old prep discounted for 3 mana, which was relevant for The Caverns Below
really appreciate the music from Dangandropa and Undertale
9:54 wdym spirit claws was broken back then and even nerfed
Spirit claw got nerfed into 2 mana for a while
You forgot about raiding party, that card is insane
the thing with alexstrasza before the nerfs is that she could generate another copy of herself making a big loop
“Darkmoon faire the expansion that everyone likes but is no one’s favorite” I bet you feel really stupid now, It’s up there for me, at least a top 3
Risky Skipper was so OP and you chose some f* 2 mana paladin card that did`n even saw play
I’m leaving after Muster for Battle 😂
Really? Paladin was incredibly oppressive during GvG because of it and Shielded Minibot. It's not nowhere near the level of Dr. Seven but still was pretty strong
Put some respect on Gormok the impaler. He was played on zoo warlock at the time, one of the few legendary from tgt that was actually a part of a meta deck.

The editing is really entertaining and fun thanks for the good vid, even if I disagree on some choices lol😂
Thank you for respectfully disagreeing and not calling me and my lineage a failure
The song is from danganrompa 2, investigate theme
Really good video
All of these persona sound tracks just really add to this.
Is it sad I know which area these songs are played from? 😅
Muster for battle still gives me nightmare
ain't no way he actually predicted the best card from perils of paradise
Brann+Boomboss is the reason why even playing warrior.
I remember how annoying it was for my oponent to deal with Patchwerk and how many times he saved my ass.
Now you tell me that I can basicaly multiply that effect???
Who in their right mind thought it was suppose to be "fun"?
You just watch your oponents deck dissapear, or yours, if playing mirror and their are faster at finding those two.
Awaiting their removal a bit later on when they rotate out.

“Thank god were out of this era of Druidstone”. Really? We left that behind. They’d news to me.
Agree with some things, disagree with others. The only ones that really baffled me are Baku and boom. Boom was so dominant during his time that he can’t be missed out, and Baku is probably the strongest card ever if we’re being real

Coment for algoritm.
Great video. Keep it up with more uploads.
I don't know how you do it. When I make an hour long video I get no views, but you on the other hand? I don't understand it.

Roses are red, violets are blue;
what is this shot at scotland bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is probably my favorite video you've done so far. I got into Hearthstone late, so I didn't know most of this history.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Disagree, this video is super well made and clearly a ton of work gone into it, amazing execution in my opinion
Wrong Kazakus REEEEEEEEE
Oh pretend you didn't see that
lol that triggered me
In Nathria, The Countess' invitations used to cost 3 mana, before getting buffed
I'm surprised she wasn't an Undead vampire, because she sucked
fun fact: dr doom in marvel snap is pretty much a perfectly balanced card (emphasis on perfect)
just as versatile as boom and just as big and strong
Secret Paladin? 3/3 Flappy bird Windfury ?
Glenn Greymane
54:38 That's very funny
