Blizzard relations aside, it's a lot easier to enjoy a game when you only have to do it for a few days. Also see his WoW playthrough, which he loved but mostly because it was curated for him, and he got to leave after. If he had to play ACTUAL WoW, we'd probably be hearing a different reception from him.

27:10 The thing with Kil'Jaeden... yes it's a trickle of value, but it's a trickle from a source that gets more concentrated over time. And what's obscene about it is when you can get to that buffed up source in a way separate from the trickle. And that's what card draw does. Instead of a single not super impactful 15/15 minion per turn, you suddenly have 2 or 3 of them per turn. But you also need to survive long enough for the source to buff up, hence the armour and taunt strategy. Your deck is basically just perfectly built to make use of Kil'Jaeden.
I absolutely love the fact that the discussion about advertising interruptions in content is something you choose to remove and I’m 2 and 1/2 hours in watching via tv app and haven’t had a single add break. Chefs kiss 😘
Havent played constructed since battlegrounds came out. Saw the first video with this deck and said screw it. Dusted half of my collection to build this deck and it's genuinely a bunch of fun.
Thanks for all the explanations in this video Sean. I’ve been out of hearthstone for a long time and some of these card interactions are wild! Enjoy watching you play with his game tho!
Stumbled across your channel today. I love the way you explain your thought process, your intended strategy and tips on what to do and when not to do them.
I’m a fan from way back in the StarCraft days. I started playing Hearthstone after several years and I’m so happy that your still doing these kinds of videos 🫶
I'm one of the few who really hates ads. I don't watch twitch anymore for various reasons, one of which is that adblock doesn't work. It's nice to see others who really dislike ads as well.
It's twitch's, and youtube's, own faults for escalating the ad wars as well as bloating all their own expenses with unnecessary garbage. People were fine with a bit and maybe a skip every 10min or so, but on twitch it's every 20min you're bombarded with ~3 min of obnoxiously loud crap. On youtube, sometimes they get so bad an ad plays literally every 1 minute... They're both glorified Server Capacity as their primary business function, their failed management shouldn't be a problem for viewers.
1:22:25 Sean is so lucky his opponent didn't have lethal. This turn SHOULD have been: Draw 4 +5 armor Hydration Station ATTACK with Zilliax for +4hp Ceaseless Expanse to kill your starship for +12 armor and end on a Zilliax only board Next turn, cast another Hydration Station. What a gamble.
If I'm gonna be honest, I think that not playing Kil'Jaeden on turn 4 in the mirror matchup was a bad move. You were too focused on making sure you don't die after playing him, but you were fighting someone whose game plan was ALSO "become immortal, and then eventually win by default with infinite demons with stats". You were under no threat of them killing you before your demons just got too big to handle, and they didn't have the Kil'Jaeden or ramp early enough to actually catch up. By playing slowly, you let them get the initiative and develop a board that could protect their cube. Playing Eonar first really salvaged the game though. I think the mirror comes down to just who gets their crazy stuff first.
Had a go at this deck today! First opponent plays Wheel of Death. RIP. (Jk it's really fun, thanks Day9 and cheers for the well-described gameplay tips!)
At 1:12:40 when Sean ran the sheep into taunter, i legit had to lookup because I didn't know if that was the game or him goating(I know it was a sheep, but it was close)
I might die in 9 out of 10 games , to mages dealing NOT_A_NUMBER damage, spawning NOT_A_NUMBER elementals or shamans drawing NOT_A_NUMBER meteors, but this deck sure is fun to play.
23:35 its not a bug. How the portal works makes it so the last demons in your deck are less buffed. This is because it doesnt automatically replace your deck with +10/+10 demons for example, it only replaces it with demons, and at the end of the turn it gives them +2/+2. Concecuentially, after 5 turns it would appear the portal gave them +10/+10, but since the last demon in your deck is a new one, it wouldn't have buffs. You could also assume, the second last demon would only have +2/+2, the third +4/+4, the fourth +6/+6 until every other demon has the current turns*2 worth of buffs. Hope that explains it!
He's not playing it at the moment. He was a little burned out by the release pacing MTG has as well as wanting to play quite a few other games but has much less time to stream in general so he's gotten quiet behind in the regard. It will likely come back eventually but not for the foreseeable future at present.
@@KnownAsKenji I suppose I didn't convey that properly. He didn't burn out due to his own pacing and I probably shouldn't have used that term. Rather, the release pacing MTG has too many releases and different mods that he doesn't have the mind to keep up with it. Also, in general he doesn't go deep into games and especially lately as he simply doesn't have the time currently to play all that he would like to. He has set out games though he wishes to try and beat as well as play but it will take time to get through.
I think they made a misstep with these new art assets. The Bolvar portrait looked like something out of a competitor's anime CCG and the "full art" on cards makes for a really shitty viewing experience without an overlay. Haven't played this game since 2018 so most of this is completely foreign to me.
Yeah, the Signature cards are iffy for viewers, for sure. And for the player it's not too bad but still awkward. The real rub I feel is the recently released signature spells, you know, the cards that show up for 1 second and then disappear, and in most of their cases their graphic is some non-spell thing like some elf dude. I find that very hard to parse as someone who's been playing the game for 10 years, can imagine it's even more rough for someone who isn't.
he has the druid Mage Tourist Legendary that allows one class to have the perils in paradise cards from another class respectively. In this case, Druids get access to Mage Peril's in Paradise cards

I find it interesting how on every single day9 hearthstone video, the comments will awlays have some people being rude to day9 and complaining about him not playing like the best gamer in the world... Even tho Day9 has stated multiple time through the years that he just plays to have fun, and to always be positive and nice. (And also that he never read youtube comments, only twitch chat) Does that mean there is a group of Day9 viewer that are here just for the gameplay, and NOT for Day9 himself ? How... Odd. I don't get it.
2:18:30 To be fair, the guy was stating a hypothesis. You start with that in science. Then you collect data to prove or disprove that hypothesis. So he's supposing that the 2m ads chase away some raiders. With data, that could be confirmed or denied. I think it was mentioned that "there's data supporting it", but said data wasn't given. As for rigor, it's not what you explained. You just explained raw logic. A->B. Rigor is the process of going through more and more logical inferences to be more thorough in proving the hypothesis. More data means more rigor. It's just the "really important part" you mentioned, not the whole thing. As for the actual point being discussed: Whether the streamer should put ads or not is up to them. "But no ads is better because more viewers." Maybe the streamer doesn't care about more viewers. They would rather be niche, even if more viewers DID get them more income. Also, the better option for a specific streamer can vary, for example, considering their target audience. If you're a Hearthstone streamer, you'll get more Hearthstone raids and maybe Hearthstone viewers are on average more patient with ads. (just an example here, not saying it's true)
@dg5059 do you have any insight? I've tried early ramp with no threats on board, building defense with the oakens and taunts. But I guess the common thread was the decks have been super aggro.
I'm getting so tilted by Sean's gameplay that it's working as an ad for Hearthstone. I need to reinstall and play this deck just to wash away the horrid plays he's making.
When I used to play, a single 8/8 was a scary card.
Beware the 4 mana 7/7!
I remember Jades being a problem and generated some controversy over their potential power level.

Been out of the hearthstone circle for a decade now, but really enjoy getting cozy before bed and watching these as I fall asleep. Thanks Day9.

You must be GODLY lucky, because I went 4-9 with this deck. Losing on turn 6 quite a bit to aggro decks. They ate through the taunt VERY fast
love day9 and hearthstone, its a balm on my soul
Im sorry......47:00
Was that the Shaiya theme playing in the background?

First opponent plays Wheel of Death.

I've been destroying people with OTK starship hunter, going to make my push to legend today as well
Love how D9 talks about rolling out ads, right now, as some streamers are getting penelized by up to 90% xD
I 100% would have Kil'Jaeden on curve in the druid vs druid game, when you had that early mana advantage.
Crazy Deck. Too Slow for me but fun to watch. Once!

Hope that explains it!
Does it not replace the deck with a fresh list of 30 demons whenever it's under 30 as Sean said?
this is incorrect and im surprised its gotten upvoted. It immediately refreshes the deck but the interraction with yog is whats bugged.
I love your content and i hate your deck, sending hate from Europe!
