[Hearthstone] Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Review 2 

A lot of good predictions, and a lot of bad predictions, i'm too lazy to list them all, it might be a surprise, but behind every Kripperino there's a being, and some of them have a life.

One does not simply expect Mean Streets to bring a control meta. If one does, one will surely be disappointed.

Rat Pack: 3 mana 2/2 beast, While in hand turn Forsen into a Kripp clone

[Hearthstone] Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Review 2

20:13

New mage card: Fireland's gangster: 5 mana deal 7 damage and summon a random 7 cost minion

Someone give me the stats of the maddest bomber card.

0:15 Grime street gang Kripp disrespecting the Grimy Goons

Next review: 2 mana 10/10 battlecry: deal 50 damage to your opponent Kripp: "It's a tough call"

Dirty Rat is a broken version of deathlord, and just like the last time, everyone is absolutely underrating it. Its gonna absolutely destroy combo and control decks.

ribbit

I think Kripp is missing a pretty big point about Alley Armorsmith. Yes it sucks against Priest as is but if you play it while you have an Inner Rage in hand, it is a 5 mana 4/6 with taunt that gets at the very least 2 armor. And at 4 attack it will be trickier for Priests to deal with.

Look at that spit at 13:59. Kripp is such a dirty animal.

id like to point out how impressive it is making a 20min video without any cuts and edits.

Beardo does not have a beard...

Kripp's opinions: Auctionmaster Beardo: A solid card, unlikely be seen in constructive. Grook Fu Master: Worst card. Absolutely nothing. Shaku, the Collector: Worse than Undercity Huckster, probably not gonna work out. Trogg Beastrager: Not competitive, good card in Arena. Stolen Goods: Generally bad, not many taunt minions, low potential. Grimestreet Outfitter: Not on curve, no board control means nothing, very weak. Alley Armorsmith: Amazing card. But given the Priest class existing... Grimestreet Smuggler: A fair card in Arena. Grimestreet Enforcer: Will receive attention. Grimestreet Pawnbroker: Double Gorehowl! Weapon removal gonna be essential in future! Shaky Zipgunner: A good 3-drop. Worgen Greaser: Sure...some garbage. Hired Gun: Whatever... Blowgill Sniper: Interesting, good in Arena. Dirty Rat: Possibly worthless. High risk in Arena.Compatible with Brawl. Dispatch Kodo: Preeeeetty good. RIP Groover. Backroom Bouncer: Marginal. Smuggler's Run: Nice turn-1 play. Dopplegangster: Synergy with Evolve. Grimestreet Protector: Insanely powerful. Nice on Paladin's curve. Grimy Gadgeteer: Super high power. Could buff C'Thun. Thorium Knuckles: Crapy, 2 dmgs not relevant. Rat Pack: Worse than Haunt Creeper, good with Houndmaster. Probably more Mid-Range Hunter in future. Summary: Hunter and Priest are rising. You're welcome

Dopplegangster will be the Twin Emperors of Buff-Hand decks. Unless you are already dead by turn 5, playing multiple buffs in succession will be super broken. Just +2/+2 will get you 12/12 of stats on 5. Screw 4 mana 7/7, this is crazy.

oh he is gonna regret what he said about the trogg beastrager

Dirty Rat has the same semantics as Deathwing, Dragonlord so it presumably summons the actual card from the hand and effects do not trigger.

gorehowl with the two 1+1 cards and the two minion 1+1 cards. Gorehowl 11-5! Oh and the legendary Pirate. 12-6.

Dirty Rat is also great for fishing out big threats when you have removal in your hand. This is not a card to play on curve.

Why are they buffing priest, it's fun to play but sucks for anyone to play against. When fighting priest he basically removes everything you play then kills you when You run out of cards

Хантовский эпик существо - крисы ебать 10/10, в первую очередь именно эту карту скрафчу и буду на ханте катать. Изи Лега в декабре

yo kripp, what do you use for arena to pick your cards? and what do you use to keep track of which cards are still in your deck?

What about coining the 2 mana 1/1 paladin buff in arena? Seems like an awesome play to me if you have cards to keep on the gas pedal.

something that i have been wondering about the tri-class cards, for arena will they appear as class cards or as neutral cards, but only during that classes draft. My guess is the latter.

Alley armorsmith w/ cho get to max damage then attack two minions, what will happen to your armor? Will it just reset?

I think with the alley armour smith he forgot that it is in the goons set, from the cards we've seen so far it means that there is a fairly good chance that it would have buffed at least once so priests may not be able to deal with it as easily as he thinks. Besides having more cards that are 'I should remove this with a spell now' type cards are always good to have. But I'm not the most experienced player so I'm probably missing something here.

4 mana 6/3... Magma Rager your era has ended.

I imagine Dirty Rat to be used to counter certain combo decks, like Freeze Mage with Evolved Kobold, Maly decks, etc.

if you have armor spells for warrior the first card you reviewed would be pretty good

So dopplegangster evolve combo is - 2 card combo for 6 mana, summon 3 random 6 mana cost minions? broken much?

I don't know why it didn't hit me earlier, but I just realized that all those in hand buffs can buff cthuns battle cry as well

19:52 Kripperino Skriperrioniano

Could you possibly make a video about the fun decks to play right now? I think the last time you did one of those was in 2011. Even if the decks are amazing, I just want to play a fun deck sometimes.

i can see that auction master working as a versatile late control warrior for a +8 or +12 armor and working early for a 3 3/4 early body, anyone can see it in other instance?

In the art for the card Stolen Goods is he holding Thunderfurry??

That loose string on Kripps' shoulder is destroying me

Would Grimestreet Outfitter be better than thalnos? they are both 2 mana 1/1s

Rat Pack has good synergy with that one Beast that gives Beasts charge.

dispatch kodo, does it do the damage of its attack taking into account where it is on the board? because if so, OTK hunter is a thing now

I have a question. If one of these random minion buffers buff C'thun, and then you buff C'thun with a regular C'thun buffer, then your opponent will know your first buffer has buffed C'thun (because as we know both player see how big is C'thun)?

Right, who's doing Auctionmaster/Majordomo combo

charge minions will be op

Stolen goods is amazing with the one that reduces cost by 2 mana if your opponent has 3 minions. Play stolen goods on turn 2, and get a 7/8 on turn 3 (assuming you're against an agro deck)

grimestreet protector is absolutely insane

ah yes. i'm going to enjoy building my OTK angry chicken deck with all this hand buff support!

I think dirty rat is how you handle any deck alex, malygos, and other important minions that are hepd by control/combo classes for big turns

He's wrong about Dirty Rat in Arena. If you have it in your starting hand, most players don't keep large cost minions in the beginning. Great tempo

I'm so excited to play bolster warrior xD

Wait...when the Mean Mean Streets of Gadgetzan the TGT is going down right??

-Auctionmaster Beardo probably will see some play in fatigue or control warrior to gain a more armor in combo with execute to help with the lose of trueheart. It there is also a possible combo with cloaked huntress in hunter. -Shaku is ok IMO. There is not many 3-4 mana board clears so you can get an effect off but stat wise, meh.... -Stolen Goods has potential in C'thun warrior. Twighlight geomancer gives c'thun taunt or you can boost crazed worshiper.

Kripp the kind of dude that would call a 0 mana 1/1 Battlecry: At the start of you opponent's turn, deal 30 damage to the enemy hero "a hard call" just because Violet Illusionist counters it.

New mechanic I thought of: if your minion doesn't attack this turn, it can attack twice next turn. Since it's a very small upside that minion can have fair stats

Funny how we are going from "fucking shamans" to "fucking priests".

Fine Kripp thanks I am currently taking a shit

Review 1 link?

Whe I see Grimestreet Outfitter. I immediately think of Aggro Paladin to combo it with Divine Favor

The only thing I can think of that would make Rat Pack palatable is if when it was summoned it played Cowboy Bebop's Tank.

The thing about priest being crazy powerful against Alley Armorsmith is that it's very unlikely to be a 2/7 when it's played. With one or two buffs there's a really good chance it'll fall into that magic 4 attack territory, in which case the priest would need pint sized potion for a 2 card removal.

4 mana 6/3 is this ice rager +1/+1 ?

Kripp, think about Smuggler's Run more like this: An immediate Competitive Spirit. Now what do you think of it?

11:59, kripp getting yugi-oh flashbacks.

Am I wrong or is there no new paladin weapon?

Grimestreet enforcer is NOT good. By the time you cast him, you will typically have emptied your hand of most of your minions, and the minions that are left will probably be good enough without the buff to not justify the loss of tempo. Sure, he might get a buff from your other minions if you're playing a "hold" deck, but then again, so would any other creature with better stats. For similar reasons, Grimestreet outfitter IS actually good. Not as good as it would be as a hunter card, but good nonetheless. being able to cast a 4/5 for 3 and then maybe a 5/6 for 4 is more than enough to justify losing 3 points of stats on the card itself. It's especially nice if you can hold it for a few turns and build up a handful of creatures. It's not like Paladin doesn't have the means to come from behind, with weapons, healing, and card drawing in ample amounts. Combos really well with cards like Small Time Recruits. Dopplegangster is ridiculous when combined with Hold and/or Bounce effects like Brewmaster. I think "Hold Warrior" is a deck worth exploring very early on in HS.

I wonder if that +3/+3 Warrior card for taunts could find its way into a C'Thun deck. I would actually play Twlight Geomancer if I had that card just for the potential of coining out the spell and then playing a 4/7 Taunt on turn 2. You can also have other targets in your deck like Alley Armorsmith, Crazed Worshipper, Bloodhoof Brave, Fierce Monkey, Twin Emps doesnt seem that great since your second one will always be a 4/6 but it still doesnt seem bad either. I think a deck like that would either float mana in the late game enough to weave in the clunky card even if you had to equip a Firey War Axe on turn 2 and were floating 2 mana that would normally be a hero power you could play this card instead and the cases where you mulliganed the nuts you could use it as mana ramp like Kripp said to get a ridiculous taunt card out early. Maybe I am just optimistic but I think the card has quite a bit of potential. Will it be refined enough to be an auto include. Obviously not, but its an interesting card that I think people are underestimating because it doesn't have a body attached to it and tempo is love tempo is life lol.

aggro paladin with the draw 3 1 drops and the grimestreet buffs is going to be the new aggro shaman

I am sure I am not the first to think of this, but... what about using the cards that buff minions in your hand... to set up an OTK scenario? All you need is a charger in your hand that you buff up. Especially with the cards that give sizeable buffs for that, like the legendary that was revealed today. Drop a cheap 10+ attack charger, Copy it with Faceless, yum yum?

Stolen goods+bolster =best combo?

6:44 Can't wait to steal that with my Cabal Shadow Priest.

I think Hold Pally is gonna be pretty OP. 2 mana outfitter buff everything, on 3 you play a now buffed 3/5 with random +1/+1 in the hand, on 4 you play whatever, and then 5 you play enforcer which is maybe +2/+2 by now if you were holding it the whole time AND he gets your entire hand +1/+1 at end of turn. Obv thats the dream, but with the 2 mana +1/+1 and the 5 mana 4/4 with +1/+1 at end of turn, I can see hand buffing turning into this crazy snowball effect where almost every card is at the very least +1/+1 before you even play it. And having that improved stat line could make a lot of cards which are typically non-viable, a lot more viable.

Sweet my favorite 2 classes

I'm thinking hand buffs won't be super effective. One good thing about buffs is that a lot of the time you can attack immediately with the buff. Unless you run a lot of charge minions you won't be able to attack immediately giving your opponent a chance to answer your minion before you can do anything with it. That being said a 4/3 that turns you 5 drop into a 7/8 will still probably be good but I'm not sure how good.

never skipp kripp

Can't wait for all the "How good is *insert card here*?" about all of these cards! It is sure to be extremely interesting!

I think one thing you really missed with the 2/7 Warrior Taunt Alley Armorsmith is that with all the cards they are adding buffing minions in your hand I don't think it will come out as a 2/7 all that often if it gets +2/+2 then all of a sudden its a priests worst nightmare. If the card is by itself it obviously gets wrecked by Priest but I don't think every time you play this card it will be a 2/7 is all.

well i think that king krush will finally come into play.

what if.. blowgill sniper is a 1-1 with battlecry: deal dammage equal its attack.

dirty rat is the first true Tournament card. if you have a good idea of what is in your opponents hand pulling an Empeore T for example and not letting it trigger or a Cthun or doom caller would be huge.

i would play this first legendary in my secret hunter deck, you often run out of cards and using your hero power after each 0 mana secret would be op

Kripp, you're my bro since wow, yo! I like your quality videos! GREEETINGS FROM AMSTERDAM

Please no more zoo cards for warlocks, we need something to replace Mal ganis in standard, like something that makes you immune, or summons all monsters discarded by card effects

2:13 hey you! yea you . What do you think you looking at!

Im pretty sure Shaku at two mana would be insane, way better than huckster

Really good review

Cabal should get this "Custom spell" theme or spell creation, because I don't think they'll get the Reno Jackson theme.

Waiting for the Shaman buff...

kripp u so awesome ! much love from aussie hearthstone noob 😊

That Grimestreet Outfitter seems pretty good to me... its common card as well, if you can get away with using more than 1 of those you could turn even trash tier cards in to godly ones lol... maybe?

2 Grimstreet outfitters + Brann. Now thats what i call value

Stolen goods + Soggoth will be a good combo too.

I'm really not sure about the Dirty Rat as it says "summons" and "from their hand", so to me it reaaallyyyy looks like a combination that would trigger a battle cry. However everybody seems to say the opposite so I guess Blizzard confirmed that in some way.

Grimestreet smuggler should have the beast tag.

17:39 "If this card would be just a c'thun card that'd buff your c'thun or another c'thun card it'd probably see play." I don't know what game you play, but a 4 mana card with bad 3 drop stats would definitely not see play with a c'thun buff effect. Even C'thun's chosen, which actually does have 4 mana stats considering the divine shield is sometimes cut in c'thun decks.

this expansion is going to be awesome

3:44 whats about Soggoth ?

waiting for krip get punished by the cards he Said that Will not see much play

do you think evolve might be competitive with dopplegangster and the I know a guy card that's summons a 6/6 ogre?

Mass dispel meta incoming against all minion buffs

hey kripp hows it goin guys here
