For shaman, I'm surprised that you did not mention the thrall's gift. It was a good closer with bloodlust, could deal with big minons with hex and was used in nature shaman when it could offer lighting bolt.
Wild went from a fun and interesting gamemode with a diverse set of decks and archetypes to an uninteractive dumpster fire and now a renathal only meta. Ever since barrens, wild has been terrible.
I started playing again this year when the Perils mini-set came out and the ups and downs since then have been something, it's crazy how fast they balance patch the game now compared to a few years ago
I know this is a comment on a giveaway video but I feel like it would also be a good time for a heartfelt message. My cat who has been with me for the majority of my life passed away yesterday. He was the closest I ever was with a pet, living in my room with me and sleeping in my bed every night. We were inseparable. Your videos are among those that are currently helping me pass time as I grieve. Even complaining about Hearthstone can have a great impact on helping people going through rough times. Thank you for always delivering something I can watch to take my mind off of life.
As a fellow cat owner, though mine is only 6 years old, I know somewhere down the road this day is coming for me, too... and it already breaks my heart, as this guy is far and away the best cat I have ever owned in my nearly 50 years. My complete and absolute condolences to you
There aren’t too many cards this year that I can say I was really excited to play, but my three standouts are Sonya, amalgam, and oddly paraglide. Paraglide was exactly what QL DH needed in wild, and I’ve been on various iterations of Il’gynoth since it dropped.
Its weird how even though I dislike the balance of this year more than the balance of last year, I actually played more this time. Even hit legend for the first time back in November with Discover Hunter
I came back to hearthstone after 4 years and have fallen in love with Death Knight and actually have been enjoying the amount of variety in the meta and even how powerful cards have become, and the new Zilliax is the prime example having played when the OG was in standard, excited to see what the mini set will being, will probably impact the meta in a huge way
There were actually allot of good cards this year even if most slid under the meta. I firmly believe most of the year impacted wild more than standard in most cases. Myself I like the versatility of Dream planner Zephrys... A great utility slot no matter what class you'd play.
Dear Santa Zeddy, This year for Christmas I would like to receive some Hearthstone packs, because this year I was good and I really deserve it. P.S. Hope you enjoy the cookies I left on the table.
I recently got back into the game after a long hiatus and I've been absolutely loving wild, hit legend for the first time this month in my 10 years of playing so im very happy with how the game is rn. Although I crafted a very expensive demon seed deck right before it was nerfed so im down a LOT of dust 😅
I am excited for next years expansions despite some reservations of the current game state. I feel like an honorable mention should be ethereal oracle (but zilliax was still better)
I'm not so sure about Quick Pick for Rogue... I see plenty of Rogue lists that don't run it. I've only ever seen a single DH deck run it (Since, remember, it's dual class). Meanwhile, Sonya was literally hard carrying Rogue all year, we've seen Lamplighter Rogue use Sonya, Griftah Rogue (Pre-Tidepool Nerf), Cycle Rogue, Weapon Rogue used her for a while (Especially during her bugged state where playing her when she cost 1 meant she copied herself), Starship Rogue used her... She has been Rogue's literal only good card all year. With the only really Shaffar Rogue, Mech Rogue and newer Weapon Rogue lists never utilizing her (There's also a new Cycle Rogue list that doesn't use her anymore)
Hey Zeddy. I've been following you for a few years now. It would be nice to finally win one of your giveaways. You're the only hearthstone content person I follow. Have a Merry Christmas either way.
I think lynessa is probably the better paladin card. Plushy is definitely crazy as well, but as strong as it is the utility is limited by just being a keyword dump. Lynessa straightup gives you rogue cards that cast twice. Just my opinion though. And perhaps I just want lynessa to be better because she's more interesting than a 3/2 common
I don't disagree with with most of your picks, but I would choose Sandbox Scoundrel in Rogue since it is the mana cheat catalyst for most of the broken combos in the class. Even Sonya would be basically useless without this card.
For shaman, I'm surprised that you did not mention the thrall's gift. It was a good closer with bloodlust, could deal with big minons with hex and was used in nature shaman when it could offer lighting bolt.
It’s going to feel so great seeing all these gifts leave soon. Tired of all these warrior, shaman and Druid ones
Man.
only issue is hex sucks nowadays. either those huge minions have battlecries that cannot play around it or elusive (unkilliax)
We gotta have a wild review this was the most impactful year for wild balance wise by far
absolutely agree, i think wild metagame is very interesting and constantly evolving, tonnes of content there that zeddy could report on!
Wild went from a fun and interesting gamemode with a diverse set of decks and archetypes to an uninteractive dumpster fire and now a renathal only meta. Ever since barrens, wild has been terrible.
@@oskarmaxx please no, I prefer my world remains pristine
The wild meta game has been as good as it has been this year for a long time. Long may it continue.
@@fefino1411Wild could have been much worse right now, just be grateful that they did a few Wild balance changes this year and it didn’t get ignored
Remember when 8 damage Alexstrasza was problematic?
yup, would barely be playable now
Remember when Azure Drake was Hall of Famed?
Even with all of the crazy cards in this standard cycle, nothing will be more baffling than the release of Skyla with the ultra buffed conman/tsunami.
I started playing again this year when the Perils mini-set came out and the ups and downs since then have been something, it's crazy how fast they balance patch the game now compared to a few years ago

Miracle sales man is my top pick, it goes in aggro decks and control decks. 1 2/2 that lets you draw is insane
It says a lot when one year of cards had impacted wild more than the last 3 years combined
There aren’t too many cards this year that I can say I was really excited to play, but my three standouts are Sonya, amalgam, and oddly paraglide.
Paraglide was exactly what QL DH needed in wild, and I’ve been on various iterations of Il’gynoth since it dropped.
Thanks for the great content Zeddy. I got back into HS recently since 2017 and would be lost without your videos
Great video Zeddy, another who has returned to the game after a hiatus, really enjoying playing again and find your content very insightful.
I agree with Zil pick as best card of the year (probably Unkilliax version). Merry Christmas Zeddy!
Its weird how even though I dislike the balance of this year more than the balance of last year, I actually played more this time. Even hit legend for the first time back in November with Discover Hunter
congrats Zeddy on another year of HS content! No one delivers breaking HS news like you do. Wish you continuous success and happy holidays!
I get back to Hs this year after a long time and your videos were great to catch up on news and stuff. Thank you and happy New yearr
Hope you'll reach the 90k, you deserve it. Merry Christmas to you and the community !
Marrin definitely felt like a major player this expansion year. It basically was in every deck till it was nerfed
Happy Holiday guys and thanks Zeddy for all your content this year. Hoping for some better things in HS for next year
I really enjoyed the DK expansion they've been implementing with Deathrattles, not so much the deathrattle package in warlock
I came back to hearthstone after 4 years and have fallen in love with Death Knight and actually have been enjoying the amount of variety in the meta and even how powerful cards have become, and the new Zilliax is the prime example having played when the OG was in standard, excited to see what the mini set will being, will probably impact the meta in a huge way
Im back after a long hiatus as well!! About 6 to 7 years for me!! Ive hit Gold for the first time ever!!!! Want to be friends?? Lol I have none
I always come here after the patches to see what has changed. Thank you for your contribution.
Thanks for all the content throughout the year, Zeddy! Keep up the good work!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
My YT recap told me I was in the top 0.7% of your watchers. Here's to another great year!
Wishing you a 90 k sub count for Christmas and the New Year!
There were actually allot of good cards this year even if most slid under the meta. I firmly believe most of the year impacted wild more than standard in most cases. Myself I like the versatility of Dream planner Zephrys... A great utility slot no matter what class you'd play.
Thanks for the videos throughout the year Zeddy, keep them up and I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year's!
Dear Santa Zeddy,
This year for Christmas I would like to receive some Hearthstone packs, because this year I was good and I really deserve it.
P.S. Hope you enjoy the cookies I left on the table.
Coming back to Hearthsone since 2015. It's so confusing but very fun when you understand the concepts :D
The best class for Druid imo was Mista Vistah because it gave druid mage cards that defined a lot of it's decks
Thanks for giving so much to your community !
Druid is hydration station by Faaar
Mage is Siff the tourist only saw play for one patch but siff has been playable since it was introduced
Thank you Zeddy, i made sure to watch all your videos all year. This was the first year i hit legend, and i give you some credit for it
Thanks for all you have done! This has been a rough year for hearthstone but your videos make it all better.
Awesome vid, def glad to get back into HS recently, but man standard has been so crazy since the old days of my bread and butter patron warrior LOL
I recently got back into the game after a long hiatus and I've been absolutely loving wild, hit legend for the first time this month in my 10 years of playing so im very happy with how the game is rn.
Although I crafted a very expensive demon seed deck right before it was nerfed so im down a LOT of dust 😅
Zeddy OP for news. Glad hes still grinding.
Good luck getting to 90k and Happy Christmas Zeddy.
Best hearthstone memory was hitting legend with AFK/Oroboros/Amalgam haha lots of fun times, foot soldier + trap door spider was a lot of fun too 😂
Man, really started getting back into hearthstone since I found your videos. Keep up all the great videos
Agree that it was a bonkers year for Druid :) Thank you for all the effort put into your content, Zeddy. Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Zeddy. Love your content hope to see more of it in the new year.
I really liked this year because it felt like the power level was avarage and there has been lots of diversity in the meta.
Zeddy still doing HS content! 🤩 I haven't been here in years. Good to see ya.
Merry Christmas Zeddy! Thank for keeping me up to date on Hearthstone news, no matter how broken it is
Merry christmas Zeddy! Here's to another year of your videos and of hearthstone :)
Finally got Legend for the first time this year! Here’s to another great year!
Hey zeddy you got me back into HS this year. Would love some cards to end it out take care and happy holidays my guy
Agree with Zilliax. But zero mention of Oracle? Should of been a close contender.
Zeddy, you haven said "Blizzzarrrd!!!" in a while. Congrats on a successful 2024 and wishing you all the best for 2025.
Yoooo 50 Packsss, Thanks Zeddy I hope you have a great holidays man!!
I am excited for next years expansions despite some reservations of the current game state. I feel like an honorable mention should be ethereal oracle (but zilliax was still better)
The MOST BUH-ROKEN!!!!! What an iconic line
Im just excited for Yogg to rotate out even tho it’s not from this year.
Thanks for another great year of videos!!! Can't wait for the new mini set!
Zeddy is sharing the Christmas brokeness!
I agree with the Rogue hot-take 8:41
Thanks for helping me keep up with this game since coming back recently.
I'm not so sure about Quick Pick for Rogue...
I see plenty of Rogue lists that don't run it. I've only ever seen a single DH deck run it (Since, remember, it's dual class).
Meanwhile, Sonya was literally hard carrying Rogue all year, we've seen Lamplighter Rogue use Sonya, Griftah Rogue (Pre-Tidepool Nerf), Cycle Rogue, Weapon Rogue used her for a while (Especially during her bugged state where playing her when she cost 1 meant she copied herself), Starship Rogue used her...
She has been Rogue's literal only good card all year. With the only really Shaffar Rogue, Mech Rogue and newer Weapon Rogue lists never utilizing her (There's also a new Cycle Rogue list that doesn't use her anymore)
Happy Hollidays Zeddy and everybody else
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (also Zeddy thank you for being such a generous content creator, it's greatly appreciated :)
Hey Zeddy. I've been following you for a few years now. It would be nice to finally win one of your giveaways. You're the only hearthstone content person I follow. Have a Merry Christmas either way.
Thank you for always giving back, mr Zeddy! You're like a Hearthstone Santa
Hearthstone this year is insane, many OTKs and surprise turn 4 end games
hopefully next year we get more board focused gameplay. Also really hoping that the arena rework will be a success.
totally agree with you regarding Zilliax!
I think lynessa is probably the better paladin card. Plushy is definitely crazy as well, but as strong as it is the utility is limited by just being a keyword dump. Lynessa straightup gives you rogue cards that cast twice. Just my opinion though. And perhaps I just want lynessa to be better because she's more interesting than a 3/2 common
Do I get an extra giveaway entry if I follow you and Theo?
Man, forgot Reska, the Pit Boss was from last year.
Yep, she's rotating soon. Probably a good thing lol
Waiting to see the Starcraft croosover! Looks amazing!
Love you long time Zeddy!
Hope you're holidays are going well.
Thanks so much for all your videos Zeddy and have a great new year.
I was surprised when you didn’t choose 0 mana 15/15 but I t hink you are right about zilliax
Merry christmas Zeddy and keep up the great work:D! I myself am reaally looking forward to the new Arena stuff, hope they won't disappoint:D!
Thanks for all the great 2024 content Zeddy!
Thanks Zeddy for the videos in this year. Im mostly playing hs thanks to your efforts :)
Merry Christmas Zeddy!
Out of all the games I've played, times I've hit legend, I've never seen Zarimi go off once. Feels weird man.
What? As a Zarimi player I'm actually glad to hear this, maybe we're not too annoying then.
Almost there on the 90k congrats!
Happy Christmas and New Year, Zeddy! 🎄
This year was a bit underwhelming for hs. But i am excited for the miniset and rotation
I think druid also improved so much mostly because of generic cards!
Love your content, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Happy holidays Zeddy hopefully the mini set is great for the game
My favorite card was airlock breach health and taunt mission can't go wrong
Thanks for another year of great vids Zeddy!!
Happy holidays Zeddy!
hoping for more adventures in 2025!!
Thanks for another year of great HS content!
Absolute insane agroo decks this year. We hope to see at least midrange next year.
What a wild year, can't wait for the mini-set
Feliz Navidad Zeddy! Thank you for your content this year.
Thanks for the giveaway, Zeddy!!! Imagine getting a Christmas present like this one!!! 🤩
90k subs, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Xmas Zeddy!
Lynessa for paladin is crazy and gift for shaman also great.
Hi Zeddy, Merry Christmas to you and your family! Hope you reach your subscribers goal.
Ziliax is the only card I never disenchanted because I know it will always be played in tier 1 deck somehow
Aman'thule is rotating in 2025 and I hope they don't rotate the whole class along with him. Thanks for another year Zeddy!
great vid, im really hoping for some good changes in the game next year.
I don't disagree with with most of your picks, but I would choose Sandbox Scoundrel in Rogue since it is the mana cheat catalyst for most of the broken combos in the class. Even Sonya would be basically useless without this card.
happy holidays zeddy
