Hearthstone Player Rates RIDICULOUS New Runeterra Cards 

Fun fact: In the voiceover files the Mageseeker Inquisitor is called "Supressy Stoner" and I think that's just beautiful

I actualy have been seen alot of early bird lately, either on deck or just created, and its been quite effective against me... its very annnoying to play against tbh...

love rarran

"4 mana 4|4 with overwhelm is kinda bad" *renekton crying noises*

Not sure when this was recorded, but Early Bird actually ended up briefly seeing maindeck play in the leadup to worlds to beat Morde/Morg since you guarantee discard Morde or Rekindler

Fun fact: if you nab an enemy card with shrooms on it they deal damage to YOUR NEXUS. This lost me a PoC run

Rarran was actually right about Early bird. It is a really good card in Norra ED and should be main decked x2 or x3 as it beats a lot of competitive deck wincons (Warmother's call, ED, mordekaiser, Mihira). Would actually give the card 3/5 in general, but currently it is really strong. Norra has plenty of card draw and your win con is often to outvalue opponent hand.

12:25 mill has nothing to do with this hotfix nerf, its straight up otk you can't interact with, most people hate otk decks.

I love how when he rated mageseeker, he said this one's tough 😂😂😂

I adore the phrasing of "At Disneyland this card is insane."

Fun how Rarran immediately noticed how broken Heisho was, but developers didn't

Yugioh has dark magician and blue eyes. Hearthstone has Yogg Saron and Reno Magic has Jace Iconic cards with several retrains and reprints Runeterra has Boats.

I really like that Snnuy/the editor included the most played deck for each card, very helpful :)

Yooooo was wondering where this was! Always love to see the collabs with Rarran, I'd love it if you could make an episode with someone like Tolarian Community College or another MtG player as well and get them hooked on LoR.

I felt that "I don't know who is croupier", was personal T-T

Also Heisho isn’t bad now, it just isn’t turbo broken

Skysovereign, Consul Flagship would have something to say to your thrashing of boats in fantasy games

Wait raran have a cat ?

I hate the wording on Heisho. Wouldn't something like "the first card I see you play costs 9 less" make a lot more sense

Hey Sun Man what the song around 13:40? Something from Cult of the Lamb?

21:10 Ayo! First time Sunny swear??

The editing on this one is fire

Draven's number 1 fan: They don't know I'm a boat

Love this series great vid. Rarran's voice seemed bit low compared to snnuy tho

10:32 How exactly do you play Janna in bilgewater targon

technically draven's biggest fan is the first tutor

Rarran at 26:11 "Anyway... Kinkfisher, when I'm summoned" KINKFISHER hahahahaha

Chemtech drake was never broken in the sence it was strong, it just made game crash. The strat was really bad

Early bird is not 1//5 at all. Rarely disagree but I think this is easily the worst misleading rating. It's like you never played with aloof travelers to know how consistently it hits important top end cards. By virtue of it being 2 spell mana and in the region that generates a ton of new cards it is almost impossible for Early bird to not be a net positive in hurting their strategy.

I watch both channels before you started to collaborate, and I have to say you two have a lot of chemistry it makes every video such a pleasure

Haven't played Runeterra in a while, so I could be basing my reviews off of archaic knowledge. My ratings, before Rarran and Snnuy reveal: Red-barbed Razormace: 3.5/5. Solid stats. Curse puts the opponent on a soft timer if fighting against a tempo-midrange aggro type deck. Barbara: 1.5/5. Lucky Find is not a great payoff, especially if on an empty board. Honest Croupier: 1/5 Feels awkward and requires too much commitment for low payoff. Deathgrasp Cultist: 1/5. Chemtech Drake: 1/5. If you expend a spell to draw a card, you won't get the nexus damage. Maybe nab synergy or interaction with fleeting cards. Heisho: 5/5. The effect seems bonkers, especially if there are good burst or fast spells to work with it. Spectral Ironhound: 4/5. So many ways to have small tokens or reviving cards. Seems like a really good topend curve for an aggressive or midrange deck. Mageseeker Inquisitor: 3/5. Can be annoying for some decks to face but not too much of a setback. Can see this be a card you'd cut in refinement. Early Bird: 2.5/5. I'm conflicted on this card. Against lategame/control decks, this seems bonkers. Against faster decks, its a pseudo 1-for-1. Kingfisher: 3/5. This one is tough. Card draw, especially for champions seems good, and rally is good. But is it strong enough at 9 mana? Probably deck specific. Now time to see how I did. Edit: That pre-hotfix interaction with Chemtech Drake is something I would have not anticipated. I misread Heisho reading it as the first spell you play, but first card is crazy too. Ironhound interactions sound really cool. Man I'm so behind the times in this game. Inquisitor. Of course there is a way to abuse it. I should probably read up on Mordekaiser. Not surprised for the last 2 cards.

0:56 wait the mana costs of curses gets increased too?? isnt that like..really obnoxious?

Tuskraider is a boat//

Eh, I don't think that deserves a hotfix.. But then I'm an MTG Commander player with the philosophy of "if an opponent let you resolve 2 win-cons with over 8+ mana cost.. they deserve to lose." 🙄

If there's ever an etc manager - like card in runeterra, early bird is going in it. (Etc allows you to choose 3 cards when deck building and put one of them in your hand on play) I think the main issue is that ranked inherently favours aggro, and it's bad against aggro, but if there's a mode besides tournaments that heavily rewards winning% rather than wins/hour, it's gonna see play there.

When I played Norra/ED, Early Bird felt clutch sometimes, because against Morde you kinda need to discard either the champ or Rekindler, otherwise you will never get rid of them when the game gets longer.

YES!! I was waiting for this video! Hype! Glad you guys became friends and you got Rarran to play Runeterra!

A really good analog for the Lucky Finds is probably Adapt, for those HS gamers out there.

You give up pressure and go neutral on card advantage with early bird but your getting rid of a card you know they can’t cast and event if you wait to hopefully pull a certain card you could pull something higher or not disrupt their turn at all cause they spent no mana on it yet.

Dont take anything rarran says about any other game to heart, I’ll be honest I think he only likes hearthstone and has the worst takes (he can have them of course but he didn’t like hollow knight like come on)

Heisho would be broken even if it only works once. Free 9/9 spellshield at turn 9?

Justice for Rarran, he was the earliest of the birds

aight i know this is off tpic, but next rotation we need to release graves and bring back tf for the rivalry.

Already seen comments calling it out but early bird sees play in elder dragon norra 😎 3/5

Early bird would be so much better in hearthstone, where there is less interaction and comboes are nuts.

So… does Snnuy not know MTG? Because it seems like there is a disconnect.

Seems so weird to me that heisho discounted a card on the turn you play him The text does not imply that at all

Wasnt a titanic unit if they have 8+ health, power and/or Manacost?

I have actively lost to early bird multiple times but it was def most often manifested

Early Bird is a strong enough card. Yes it's match up dependent a bit, but in many cases their most expensive card is going to be their most valuable one, like one of their Champions, even better if they do something to draw that champion first. Rarran is right in that, it's not one of those cards that are obvious it's why you win a game, for 2 mana it can take out big threats before they're threats. It's Aloof Travelers in spell form, without the risk of giving them a card they might want.

Saying Fettering is unplayed is funny now that Galio is running the meta.

Whoever edited this did an amazing job with the graphics!

I like that Rarran can't deny Snnuy wanting Razormace to be 4/5 stars

Mageseeker with deathless added when morde kills him it's insta 6 cost

The biggest problem with evaluating cards from other card games than the one you are playing is the mechanical differences and slight knowledge of the card database. Just like cards with passive effects that are activated conditionally, but the unit has to survive on the table for a while, they are not very popular in Hearstone simply because of the possibility of trading with units for this type of goals. In LoR ​​there is no such simple option (only thanks to Challenger), which is why statistics play a slightly smaller role than in games where the opponent can deal with your units thanks to his units. This also automatically increases the value of remowali, where remowali in LoR, which may be tragic from the point of view of an HS player, is actually very good. For example, Vengeance, where in HS a single target removable for 7 mana would be unplayable crap, but in LoR ​​it is a solid answer.

Can’t wait for the next patch Im so done with morde and morg

The editing on this video is really top notch! Thanks a lot!

Bro the early bird does see play and it's really good in Norra Elder

I agree with raran on early bird , i win tons of games by discarding mordekaiser or big meatballs . The downside is i sometimes discarded ed in this meta

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE EDITING IN THIS VID!!

2/5 👍👍

hey, I actually think boats are pretty neat

Kingfisher though is a 10,000/5 if you can pull it off Clash of Giants though. Probably the 2nd or absolute best pull from CoG probably only challenged by Cithria LoC. It's genuinely probably impossible to lose if you can pull Kingfisher off Clash of Giants

Everything was spot-on but Early Bird. Card saw pro play at worlds, easily a 4/5.

To the boat comment, I’m pretty sure yugioh has a full archetype of boat/sushi related cards. So yeah I’m sure someone would be excited to play their boat in their fantasy card game

22:33 I love this banter. 😅 I still like Early Bird, and I thought it seen tournament play, but I haven’t touched LoR since Draven got buffed back to 3/3.

Why you hate mage seeker raran

Suppression would be okay if it didn't stop you from playing other curses. Rarran almost had it aside from that interaction I think.

Loathed is in the right direction for analyzing mageseeker, but it’s more like neophyte. Neophyte already sees play in the appropriate meta - imagine if you could copy neophyte’s effect with another minion on board and that it’s repeatable. Now you’re cooking.

Who's uncle Eddie?

What do you think about doing more vids after some time in expansion? When meta is more resolved? The first video has a lot of mistakes because the strength of the cards isn't resolved, but waiting more times is meh (these videos are very interesting TBH, so you want to watch them as fast as you can).

A croupier is the guy at the table working for the casino, dealing the cards and making sure you obey the rules at the table.

Early bird is the definition of win more card, you play it when you are ahead and you delay their wincons or comebacks. The only reason why early bird is so good in Norra ED right now is that it often provide extra value rather then just discarding one card from the opponent, for example it reduce cost of plaza guardian and bubblefish. And the portal from Norra can avoid the tempo lost from playing the card, yes the card might not be like 1/5 bad, but it's definitely not so good as some comment said just because it's being play in pro plays

First, thanks for the clarification on how you cooked up the riven morgana deck. The setup you have for the deck runs smoother without Weapon Hilt! Second, Not sure if you’ll see this, but I know a deck that might be really fun to play. Not sure how to cook it up, but it includes Mordekaiser, the Camavoran Dragon, and the Necrotic Arachnoid. They all have effects that drain from the enemy nexus when units die. Thought it would be a really cool concept. Maybe pair with Freljord for titanic support since Mord and the Arachnoid are titanic? Not sure how the deck would be cooked up, but having those 3 in it might be a lot of fun! Not competitive, but definitely fun

I feel one of the most gigantic issues with chemtech drake isn't so much the effect is bad, the effect would give it psudeo taunt because either you kill it or it kills you next turn, the issue is, it's an ezreal like effect, and why are you playing an aggressively stated follower for 8 mana that the power is never going to actually matter, when you could just play Ez instead and not only pull the combo much sooner, but in 1 turn?

please level the audio

Early bird is not 1/5. It was maindecked at worlds, so it's 2/5 or 3/5.

Deathgrasp cultist belongs in a Freljord Si deck. Wrath of the freljord is a cool combo for it.

Boats are cool bro..

Ichor = Eye-core

Early bird is not as broken as dirty rat since in lor you can get multiple copies of your win conditions

i love rarran

I love how some of the cards power just changed since the video got recorded.

In the Stat printer Snnuy made the Deathgrasp Cultist does crazy work because everything is Titanic and there are some fearsomes

croupier is a dealer (like in casinos)

the Croupier is the person dealing the cards or spinning the roulette in the casino, basically it represents the house

Love the Rarran collabs!

unlike hearthstone , runeterra does not have 1 off win conditions

Yeah, Mageseeker was mid. Thank you, Rarran.

18:26 "This one's tough" - unit is literally Tough

1/5 for early bird. Crazy i fear this card

What was the music at the end of the video? I recognize it from somewhere but I can't quite place it.

is the Owlcat a bird or a cat? curious...

Rarran and snnuy the beloved

Banger collaboration as usual!

Finally, it's here.

Cool to see some Rarran LoR content!

Heisho is far from a dead cars in my opinion. Its a lot easier to remove but if your opponent cant remove it, they just lose.

4 cost Deathgrasp cultist is AMAZING! when you find that deco that really works with this card, it flows so well!
