Thanks for another wonderful and informative guide! One thing I think could be very useful would be video guides/gameplay examples of turning bad starts into salvageable top 4 finishes. Not necessarily wins, but finishes that can net mmr (or minimize mmr loss at your rank). I've seen online discussions about the RNG high roll factor of the quest meta, and people will mention watching you for good examples of using skill to get good finishes on low rolls, but then I'll see people rebut with your youtube gameplay (since they don't watch livestreams), which is all high rolls, and dismiss the argument entirely. I think showing how to turn low roll games into top 4 finishes would be both very helpful for newer players and help remove some of the negative connotation of RNG in the game at large.
I love the idea! I mean i love to watch some of those crazy games with insane stats and all, but it would also be nice to watch some games where you really struggle and yet pull it off. Even better it would be to watch it with post comment, to know what exactly you had in mind, or why you made certain decisions over others. Something quite similar to what shadybunny does with some of your games, actually that's how i found you man xd Love the content, can't wait to see more! @JeefHS
I think you left the review for amalgam out of the video, but it is on the final list at the end. That one is pretty easy to understand to, free early game + another win condition for beasts 😂 great video
I had never watched your content for some reason. I really like the way you share your analysis of the game, and I feel like it will really help me get better. Good job 👍
Same I was average 6.5 stuck, saw this video and after 2 days I’m 7.5. I used to pick bad quests bc I saw potential in high roll. Makes way more sense to pick more consistent one
@@JeefHS separate video to rate when to pick golden buddy or not? Also what heroes to pick tier 7 quest on? (based on how easy to complete etc)? some food for thought or content for consumption
hey Jeef, can you explain on splitting scroll a bit more? is it mostly to force lumber, I got bad games picking this quest, it does not give enough tempo early on, and mid game I am not sure which 3+ spells to pick before I got my direction settled, so most times I dont get to the late game.
Thanks for another good video and for providing some easy strategies for each quest rather than just plopping them into their ranks. I didn't even think of that sinstone strategy, which makes me feel like an absolute lemon.
I found most success with "Soul Pact" using dragons, late game when you have a "hunter of gatherers" on the field with a way to generate "smolderwings" the health pools rack up fast.
I was surprised that soul pact was f teir. My reasoning is that it is playable tempo early if you have a setup. Its playable with pirates murlocs, and its kinda broken with elementals if you can pick up some masters. Banger video, thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Ye but Even in perfect conditions With Golden master and Golden recycle its still just stats and not THAT many compared to something like a demon board
@@Skibidirizzer27 yeah, I think while it technically gives tempo. It doesn't give enough to safety go 5. And while it does improve top end, it's not to the same level as other quests
Weird,been picking soul pact up more recently in Dragons,elementals and pirates,murlocs lobby It's essentially a kalegos or rockrock that you get as a passive which will at least guarantee a top 4:/ But it definitely is just ass
@@xrexer8908I dont know, I think its elo based, at higher elo just dragon without bran or ele without free refresh is not gonna be top 4, not to say it cannot help u stabilize that fast so u can just level
@@yilongzhao3246 Agreed, Kalecgos is only strong when you can get golden bran or with Rylak + Drakkisath. It's not really just cycle throgh the battlecries, unless you are playing Gallywix
I think this tier-list is accurate and maybe some other high level players can disagree on some points. Gift of the Golden Kobold gave me a first as C'thun, because it was an elemental lobby and said, ''I'll just roll into goldens and see what 6 drops I get'' and ended the game with two golden Rock Rocks, one which was golden'd by the quest, so I think A tier is pretty good for it.
Thanks for your instructive videos. I just won an impossible battle here, thanks to some things I learned from you and your strategies. The situation was next, was facing Illidan. He had a perfect beast comp, had a golden Titus, two gold goldrinn, 1 golden chicken, 1 golden banana and two golden raptor. He had taken the mission of two copies for Golden. I was impossible to win, but I thought, what would Jeef do in this situation? And the following idea came to me. Jeef would explore this idiot for choosing a garbage hero, so I took a Light Fighter, left as the only provoke on the table. Like the power of the hero of always active combat before the beginning of the field minions, his wolf attacked my Light Fighter, who died and killed his chicken, the minions started without status, as the wolf didn't die because my provoke had a low life and attack, and my minions cleaned his board with Cleave. And I won with the probability of 99.97% chance of losing, thanks Jeef.
Yeah I got sinstone and didn't realize I was apm LOL. The amount of discovers was too much for me to finish my turn. Scout into sellemental is up to 6 actions on its own (buying the scout, selling 5 times). And not something you can avoid if your hand is full so I guess just dont do it if you're infinite anyways.
i won 2 games with soul pact elementals yesterday so not sure what to think of that. They were both play 5 dual classes though. 1st was demons & ele's & i had 2 sellamentals lol
I agree the discover a minion of your tier so depends on what triggers it though as sometimes it's a minion every turn and sometimes it's just so bad so I'd put it in B just for how inconsistent triggering it is:)
16:56 HA! I did not watch the entire video! I skipped the B and A- tier! I bet you feel like you have egg on your face! (But seriously, great content!)
Wait, I think Boom Squad is super good. If you complete it 1 or 2 turns after you get it, you usually win your next 3-5 turns easy. That seems so important, right?
@JeefHS When you say 'finish a quest by turn x', do you mean the quest is completed AND you have that turn to spend gold? For example, if you say 'if you can finish this quest by turn 5', do you mean that the quest is completed AND you have that 7 gold to spend, or do you mean the quest should be completed by the end of that turn? Obviously it changes depending on if it's a combat quest or not, but my question still stands. Thanks for the video!!
I'm pretty sure he means to finish it that turn even if you have to spend all your gold. Sometimes he said "or early turn X", that's what I think he means to finish it at the start of the turn so having some gold left to spend This is because some of these key turns he mentions (6, 7) are turns where you want to tier up if you can. If you can't finish the quest in the first 2 turns, you will have to stop to tier up, and then complete it and only then make use of the reward on the 4th turn after that. By that point the quest is either not impactful enough or you took too much damage and died already
Yeah invigorating conch can be fun. For example I had a board of golden deep blue guys and I just popped their 'gain stats for this turn only' spells onto a tavern minion and bought it to make the stats permanent. But it definitely requires specific setups to be any good.
I got a first place with Boom Squad in exactly 1 lobby (8k rough rating). Just have to try to make it into a really fast lobby, win early, and only viable hero IMO is Onyxia/Greybough.
Man I used to consider Wheel one of the best reward in the old quest meta but now it's nearly useless, buffing the tavern does nothing, shuffling the stats sometimes proves detrimental to the comp you're trying to achieve, pyrobuff is all over the place, the other three can give you some value but they're sooooo underwhelming compared to other rewards that can generate far more value in a single turn than waiting each turn, the only saving grace is probably darkmoon prizes that has a chance to turn the table
I get that Turbulent Tombs is broken in Beast lobbies, but how does it fair in non Beast lobbies? At that point its good with murlocs and maybe demons? It just feels hard to pick when beasts aren't in so it doesn't feel as top slot as Sinstone to me. But I am probably missing some deathrattle based comp or value
im started again playing battlegrounds i really waiting for video for noob players like me where you will show how casual bords should look like what to search and whats the strategy for that like quilboar where you play mostly on lvl 3 and its working for my rank bc sometimes even if i see enemy bords idk how it got that big
Prior to the reintroduction of Quests, BG was probably in both the best and most balanced state it was ever in. Now it’s a huge crapshoot. It’s no wonder it has utterly failed as a competitive game.
Hearthstone is dying, they are way past caring about competitiveness. They just want to make the game replayable enough so people stick around. And to be fair, quests really help in making each game feel different than the last. And I don't think the core game is unbalanced at all, quests just allow for crazy highrolls. But it's not always the same highroll (so it's not 1 thing that is OP)
Maybe not at 18K MMR. You should see some of the boards Jeef pulls off with crazy strategies nobody else even attempts- when your biggest minion is in the high hundreds and thousands most games, a 10 damage ping is pretty inconsequential.
I was surprised to see soul pact as 2st F-tier, as I had a 1st place with it yesterday, the 1st time I got it offered. Maybe it was hero specific, as I forced ele as gallywix. I can see why on other builds and hero’s it does nothing.
Why pirates sucks Has a tier 5 minion that gets +1/+1 whenever you get a gold; sells a minion that cost 2 or more gold, that minion doesn't get +2/+2 or more WOW NO WONDER MY PIRATE COMP IS SHIT
Hidden Body is the biggest jebait. Oh boy a bunch of free minions... with an animation that takes fooooooreeevvvvveeeerrrr. RIP if you're playing any comp thats remotely high apm. Hard pass for me everytime.

Just started watching. You are a god. At 6500. Will be 7500 in a week cause of you. :)

i left out quests that are impossible to evaluate like this one and golden buddy :P
@@JeefHS separate video to rate when to pick golden buddy or not?

Kidnap sack also can steal tavern spells that cost 4 or more
Yeah it already gives value with telescope but it can be ridiculous to grab stuff like golden touch and sacred gift

Thats the most insane shit. I didn't even that someone could roll that high.
Great stuff, can you maybe do a hero list as well?
I point to channels like this when I show you don't need garbage clickbait to be a good youtuber
Good job, great content, pal
Great content sir!:) Love all of it
hell yeah jeef, we need more vids like this

Ghastly Mask and Bloodsoaked Tombs were the only S Tier quests not to get hit with nerfs, so presumably they are the two strongest in the game now.
hi jeef, what about the quest to unlock a t7 minion?
i won 2 games with soul pact elementals yesterday so not sure what to think of that. They were both play 5 dual classes though. 1st was demons & ele's & i had 2 sellamentals lol

Could you make a super micro mummy comp using mechs and undead?
Thanks for the knowledge jeef
Thx. I hope this season won't end just in the week and I will have time to use this information:)
Jeef thanks, i casually play BG and now i got 9k mmr just watching you, love your content, and how do you do it. hugs from Brazil.

Don't know why, but videos at side makes me comfortable. It's like visual ASMR
Wait, I think Boom Squad is super good. If you complete it 1 or 2 turns after you get it, you usually win your next 3-5 turns easy. That seems so important, right?
Hey man you should do a hero tier list, I love to see your opinion on most of them. Especially Tess greymane.
He did it few videos before
Ethereal evidence is mostly good bc you have such a high likelihood to get offered Pilfered Lamps at some point and can just go ham.
Does Shifter Zerus quest still in the game?
Thank you, for video !

I did invigorating conch with feldrake, fluidity and my tavern was buffed with rylak fellemental and in 3 turns my whole board was over 6k
Yeah invigorating conch can be fun. For example I had a board of golden deep blue guys and I just popped their 'gain stats for this turn only' spells onto a tavern minion and bought it to make the stats permanent. But it definitely requires specific setups to be any good.
It's more reliable if you're playing Jandice since Fluidity is at tier 5

Legend
I've personally gotten a few treasure vault completion on turn 3 games and then it really is just the most broken quest reward
I would like a tier list of how hard the other side of quest is to complete. Gold spending, summons, battlecry and so on.
You didnt review 50/50 horse quest or am i missing it?
You're not missing:) He placed this quest in the A tier next to Trumbling Disaster tho.
Yeah Jeef!

I believe it is evaluated as if the supporting tribes are in. So maybe in non beast lobbies it's worse. Still pretty good with undead
And demons
This is perhaps a take
It's also good with undead to scale your anubarak and get more token summons
Nice
Untamed sorcery is A tier for me because I'm fairly new and the reward doesn't eat half my tavern time having to read stuff
big brain jeef
interesting tier
im started again playing battlegrounds i really waiting for video for noob players like me where you will show how casual bords should look like what to search and whats the strategy for that like
quilboar where you play mostly on lvl 3 and its working for my rank bc sometimes even if i see enemy bords idk how it got that big
cooked book feels like F tier because the requirement is almost always way too slow
The boss one more time

For my turbulent i had to get 85 attack in a non dragon lobby
yas give us the goods
Feels like a lot of the B tier should be a C tier.
You underestimated how handsome you are.
Jeef clearly misrated boom squad it's the most broken one out of all with the highest success rate
Maybe not at 18K MMR. You should see some of the boards Jeef pulls off with crazy strategies nobody else even attempts- when your biggest minion is in the high hundreds and thousands most games, a 10 damage ping is pretty inconsequential.

How often do u have a golden drakari early
Oh wait , u never have that unless ur Reno
