Hearthstone Quest Tier List! 

The tier list arc 🤫🧏🗿

Activate the Obelisk felt so broken to me back in the day. I think it was hated so much because players felt punished for reducing their opponent’s health, since that allows them to heal it back and progress the quest.

not putting the demon seed and defend the dwavern district into yuck is a cardinal sin

quests are my favorite cards in the whole game !

I’m sure we’ll get a neutral quest/quest line so every class can either pretend it’s 2015 or it can speed up the game. Unsure which but there will be complaints either way

I have a fun story, one of my favorite cards was King Phaoris, because I always liked to play with cool bad cards, and the funniest thing was that I was playing with shaman with a lot of trash cards in it, I don't remember what reduced the cost of my minions but I played OMEGA MIND and King Phaoris agains't a full board and pulled a Il'gynoth with an Elemental Destruction in hand, was the most unnespected, satisfying and Omega mind otk ever, so to this day that card still goated for me.

Your outro is how i feel about twist currently. There's like a handfull of decks with near infinite resource generation and mana cheat and the rest play like they're stuck in 2018

OMG thank you for these rankings, keep 'em coming!

This list was GOATed. Huge nostalgia vibes when you talked about some of the old quests. Mt big wish is that someday making mummies can be good. That's all I want. I wish I was better at homebrewing because I would make a deck for it even if it was bad.

These videos have been amazing, and doing them prerelease is giving me hopium for all the quests I've kept.

This video was quite a journey... Thank you, Marshie!

Some thoughts on these: I think my favorite version of Seek Guidance is the "oops all minions" version. Was a fun deckbuilding challenge, and using Abbess made getting your wincon off much more trivial than the conventional list (at the cost of binking yourself hard by not running any spells). I liked that QL Shaman had two approaches: heavy burn, or plop big stats with spores/echoes. My favorite part of Bazaar was the weird interactions like Secret Passage to only require one burgle spell to complete, plus I liked having (at least conceptually) consistent face dmg that trades the infinite dream of Spectral Cutlass for being easier to highroll and fight aggro boards and being much less susceptible to weapon hate. Huge rant because Caverns Rogue was the reason I got into Wild: I think Caverns Rogue now is pretty easy to pilot, but back then you had some unusual lines and routes back when it was in rotation. I remember in high elo discussion there was consideration of mulliganing quest and coining Brewmaster as ways to survive early game against aggro. I actually tried mulliganing quest when playing Getmeowth during barrens meta and beating his Odd DH, though it helped that I got secret passage to find it pretty soon after. The archetype was my first legend in Wild too, I did a little mix of stuff I picked up from Chinese offmeta players and some of my own ideas. Back then, Caverns was really bad, requiring you to play 5 of the same minion, getting 4/4s, and Sonya recently got gutted so she was bad post-quest. I found pen flinger helped get quest done consistently at a time when you needed three bounces for flysail. It goes without saying, but with how tedious quest completion was you rarely had enough bounces left (unless you ran bad cards like ferryman) for charge to lethal opponents, so I opted for a secret package with Hanar. Post-quest, Hanar made scary boards with summon secrets, and cheat death was a scuffed shadowstep. The other thing I ran was recurring villain+Umbra as pseudocharge. I was so excited when it got reverted and getting octobot+field contact. It actually became kind of skill-intensive again. Oh, and it was actually really good v aggro because of flinger and t5 0 mana sky pirates + broom thanks to octobot.

Your philosophy is interesting. You want the requirement to have synergy with the reward. I always felt that it was way more interesting to make the reward strong enough to warrant building your deck around 2 different synergies.

Demon Seed and Waygate and Crystal Caverns are so "love me or hate me, you watched"

Command the elements goes into Yuk tier for being oppressive and boring in Duels: The hero power was passive: you cannot overload. So the deck was just point cards at your opponent’s face until they explode, and you didn’t even interact with overload as a mechanic, which imo the unlocking the mana crystals on the first reward was the most interesting effect of the deck in constructed.

To complete the tier list arc, we need a tier list tier list, so you can rank the ones you had the most fun doing

The queen marsh is underated, the card got a huge buff, and its kind of an aggro deck with late game potential with raptors and you can make them charge with the 5 mana rhino for a potential burst. It got some good tools over the time but people didnt noticed mutch

In wild history, my favorite deck used to be odd taunt warrior with dr. Boom hero card and fire plumes heart, what a time

I think that The Demon Seed is actually a super interesting card, that I would love to just be jank. Unfortunately, Crystalliser lets you complete the quest with no downside, and Giants (or the 0 mana 4/4 from Titans) let you fight for board, so with a good highroll you even beat aggro.

Tier list time! More pls :D

i wish they made more of these, as someone who only plays standard currently i feel like i missed out

Man, questline mage in standard was definitely the most amount of times I just conceded

The goated quest for me was raid the sky temple for mage. It was the first and only quest I opened and owned for a long time lol. I always enjoyed value and random decks.

not you cheekily putting the last kaliodsaur in the yuck section before replacing it with the right quest

I agree with Kibler, all the quests are Yuck design-wise

I remember really getting into HS during the Corrupt the Waters reign. I had been playing a lot of solo content up to that point like Dungeon Runs and the whole League of Evil arc really cemented my love for the game. Fun times... I also spent a lot of time trying to really bump up Awaken the Obelisk and Making Mummies but those did not pan out so great. Someday (tm)

A weird memory I have with Unite the Murlocs was of when it came in a Tavern Brawl specifically for it, I had came back to HS after a break so that expansion was still fresh. I swear, I looked at Megafin and said "This is just Neptulon", because I remember back then that Neptulon used to fill your hand with murlocs, but apparently one day he got nerfed to just 3 or 4 murlocs and then they gave that effect to Megafin. It's kinda fucked up seeing a nice card get changed just so that they reprint a new card with the same effect a couple months later.

7:40 pretty sure vampiric blood was in March of the Lich king which came before nathria

For next april first I want a tier list of all daily, weekly, and event quests.

ngl it wouldve been cool if you added the related cards to the screen like nether portal

As a bad player who could only get to legend in the trivial system using questline pirate warrior, I feel attacked.

Makking mummies is like soo easy to do and your reward is a heropower that makes a 2/2 minion. To easy. So yeah. About galvadon and librams it should be in standard(the core set) Yeah give paladin hey no matter what expansion you can still play 5mana dinosaur battlercry get removed by your opponent. Like atleast give it elusive. Darn.

34:59 i remember really enjoying the corrupt combo deck from Darkmoon Faire in Standard, but it WAS pretty bad (my deckbuilding didn't help either)..

Once you're done with all your tierlists. Make tierlist of all the tierlist videos

Lakkari Sacrifice needs to play itself when discarded, and would have been so much better back in the day, when that effect didn't just kill the enemy.

You come back here and put my sweet baby Supreme Archaeology in GOATED right this instant Mr. Martian!!! Just kidding, glad it ranked so highly. I missed quests entirely, but as I've slowly been crafting wild stuff I'm interested in, I'm trying to play every Rafaam card in one way shape or form, and this quest was the first quest I crafted.

Rise to the occasion is also ruined by cariel's hero card because it replace your hero power in standard

Standard open the waygate was fantastic, honestly goated, too bad its broken outside of that limited card pool.

So based. Can't wait to Martian to blow up so we can get a Tier list of Martian Tierlists

Raid the docks is yuck and demon seed pretty cool? Yeah, pretty cool reason for me to not touch wild till blizzard nerf that deck but for now they only buff it :)

Marty you should make a tier list for every card that chat tells you you should run more than you should actually 😂 gotta see your opinions on sticky fingers

Another riveting tier list of Chumbostone

nooo my corrupt the waterinioo....

I also hate The Demon Seed for what it did to Darkglare, but not only that, ever since then the majority of GOOD Warlock decks in both formats all have to do with self damage (discard being the only big exception). It cemented Warlock as a combo class, making both aggro and control strategies unplayable in comparison.

My favorite card is brazen zealot. Is it goated, very cool, pretty cool, mid or yuck?

Well, comparing Queen Marsh and Paladin Questline... Paladin QL wins because the reward is stronger and that's why it was run in an actual competitive deck.

i have only one question: why “mid” isn’t in the middle of tier list?

I'd like to ask a question, I hope you can answer MartianB. I notice that when people who play a lot of wild, Roffle, you and Zeddy and they talk about the quality of a card or cards, you usually talk about it in such a way where it's quality is always based on it's efficiency rather than the effect itself. Case in point, you talked about Corrupt the Waters being bad, NOT because of the effect of the card itself, but because of relative power. So, a card is impacted by how effective other cards are in its most efficient deck. Is that the best metric to judge a card on? Is a card's quality only based on win rate? Or can the card be judged better by synergy, isolation, or ease of play? I get that all of this is a metric of quality, but when I hear you say "Corrupt the water is bad because it wasn't the best version of a deck" I wonder. My thought is if you are planning to make a deck with good cards and they are all battlecrys and they are all high quality cards with decent synergy, and you can naturally complete the quest, would it not be at least decent to good card?

Sorcerer's Gambit had an awful playstyle. Everything in the deck was either removal, freeze or draw. Everything that the opponent played would be used by Mage to progress the quest. Therefore, most matches against Sorcerer's Gambit were artificially prolonged, because the best way to play against that bs was just not to play any minions, so they can't point at them or freeze them. It felt miserable. I hate that card with passion. During Stormwind I unironically included Robes of Protection into all of my decks just so Questline Mage (and Questline Hunter) could fuck themselves.

Man, Raid the Sky Temple would be so much better if it discovered. It may be my favorite quest...but it really is so darn bad.

Ultimate Quest: Get Marshie to enjoy Wild again Sadge I feel really bad for enjoying HS when Marshie isn’t, even though that is such a non-Marshie-approved sentiment

Open the Waygate in goated is a crime. Probably bottom 2 in regards to how fun it is to play against along with the rogue Ungoro one but at least that one was bad so wasn't played as often. Not being able to play around the random generation , reward being a spell so you cant dirty rat it , the deck completely revolving around this pretty early noninteractive OTK , and to top it all off the recent versions (which were nerfed thankfully) completely stopped even pretending that hs is a 2 player game and started skipping all the opponents turns with the infinite turn combos. If you ask me its yuckier than all the things you put in yuck.

Yet another marshterpiece

Just a friendly reminder that Paladin, despite all its sins, is the only class who hasn’t had a quest be at least tier 2. Just putting that out there.

Wonderful list martian. On another note man its so sad the state the QL warlock is in. For all the good it provides the meta it should be buffed to be a tier 1 deck again. The meta is in the best state when all of the control decks are being suppressed for the health of the game. Less dissruption more inevitablity. That is a good meta.

Could make an argument for all of them being in yuck for turning every game of Hearthstone into involuntary games of solitaire when they get played against you.

Worst tierlist
