Hearthstone Player Rates UNIQUE Magic Cards 

Watching Rarran trying to understand things like Omnath or double prowess reminded me why "reading the card explains the card" is such a meme in magic

Rarran: what kind of sick mind games is Voxy playing Voxy: i want to show Rarran all of my favorite busted cards

Voxy gave Rarran so many busted cards and it messed with him so bad. He kept mindgaming himself and it was brilliant.

Rarran explaining what a token deck is to a magic player is the funniest thing I've ever seen 😂

So, a quick heads up, there is generally 15 cards to a draft pack (sometimes the land doesn't matter, but normally it's kept in. Basic lands are provided). So you will end up with 45 cards at the end of the draft. Using these 45 cards you need to make a minimum 40 card deck (which will generally consist of 16-18 basic lands from outside what you drafted). So in that set of 45 cards you drafted you're looking for 22-24 "playables".

Maybe we do this again but with a core set next time 😅

Now I really want to watch a video of you, Voxy and Stevie Blunder where everyone shows some cards to the others from Hearthstone, Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh respectively and you try to rate them as a duo. Would be really interesting to see the perspectives each one of you takes

Its been 10 years since I've played magic and as I'm looking at these cards I keep thinking "This thing looks insane, but we just did a 5/5 card so surely she didn't give us another one."

Rarran continues to completely misunderstand spell speeds in MtG; Voxy continues to fail to correct him.

Watching Voxy struggle to not explode of laughter at Rarran's analysis was so entertaining lmao

I think he thought sacking 3 creatures was a harsher cost because HS has a creature limit and MTG does not

As much as it's cool showing fancy, over the top, bomb-y cards in those videos, having unassuming draft (un)commons is also nice and doesn't happen often. Lucky to have Voxy be a draft-only player so she can (and wants to) talk about that stuff. edit: How's mom's head not here?!

6:21 "Hearthstone has never done anything like this" Twinspell Twinspell Twinspell anyone?

"Rarran sees an actual card game" is my favorite series on the channel, solid gold

Omnath's ability works even if you reveal a mono-colored card. It just has to have three colored mana pips in the casting cost, and will only add three mana of that color. The way Voxy explained it, made it sound like it only works with tri-colored cards only.

The last time I was this early, Rarran was still rating Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

God I love this collab, theyre so perfectly chaotic together

Sunfall is one of the few cards that I would say you pick regardless of the colors you’re already in. Pack 3 pick 1 if you get Sunfall, you now have white in your deck. Limited games can stall with large board states on both sides, so a board wipe that also gives you a large creature is a great way to turn a stalemate into a victory.

It wasn't really clarified in the video, but with Omnath the colored mana symbols don't necessarily have to be different colors. It can be monocolored like Nyxbloom Ancient or two colored. As long as it has at least 3 colored pips in it's mana cost, Omnath will still trigger.

I don't play MTG (roughly know the rules and how to play thats it), but when I see double prowess, Hearthstone does have multiple same keywords like that. In the Dalaran Heist run, there is a candle treasure that deals 3 dmg to all enemy minions, WHICH has triple twinspell keywords~

About Glistening Dawn, as Voxy said you'll cast it around turn 6-7. Playing a green deck means that by that turn you'll control at least 150 forests!

You know what would be cool? Watching spoilers of new cards together, either Hearthstone or MtG

8:14 "you're gonna get at minimum one Rarran every pack" Pog

We did have an "exile all creatures" card in HS at one point. It was that Reno Jackson mage hero that everyone hated because it made the HP cast a random spell each turn

15:45 incubators are literally dormant cards that you pay mana to wake up. Hearthstone also has cards that let you sac your things, also has cards that do damage to the opponent when they damage it, also has mass board buffs, also has board wipes.There is also cards in HS that transform into different ones. Literally everything this card does exists in some form in HS xD

We need someone to come on the channel to teach Rarran how to make a "Skuee" (iykyk) Brawl/Commander deck

I think especially for limited environment videos just explaining the set mechanics before the guessing is a good idea. It's only like 3 mechanics (incubate, battle, convoke) I think and it would give more context for guesses

I love how Rarran is scared or very careful pronouncing character names but I'm waiting for him to come across "Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar" as I feel it would be riot seeing his brain melt. Not to mention it's one of best memes and all time payoffs of MTG history.

When Voxy needs the opinion of someone that doesn't know anything about Magic to validate her hateful propaganda against Yargle 🤬 (That was an amazing video, very funny and entertaining)

PLEASE do more videos together! Your energy is infectious. Maybe you could help her with an arena run or she could help you with a limited run. Or just other card rating videos, just anything :D

Rarran is the Voxy of Hearthstone and Voxy is the Rarran of MTG.

She kinda hinted that Elesh would be good when she called it Mom format and this one is mom

I've really loved watching these collabs. The two of you have a great energy together. Hope to see more of these in the future!

I love this series a lot and Voxy has grown on me as one of the best guests featured so far (Nobody can top Stevie, the GOAT). Her laugh is a bit goofy, but that makes it a very contagious laughter. Great video again

So there are many formats in magic, and different cards shine in different format. It’s interesting to see that Omnath is gabo tier in limited, but it’s absolutely insane in formats like commander. (A format which you know you’ll always have access to Omnath so you only put 3 colors spells in your deck.)

When she said that she read a Yugioh card and wanted to die I screeeeamed so funny LMAO

Watching this guy talk him self out of giving THE Mom Card a 5/5 was very, very funny 😂

"There's nothing to get a card out of exile" Squee would like a word with you (^:

just a lovely reminder the 3 pip rule for omnath does not have to be different colored pips so if you reveal something that cost 1WWG you still get 3 mana of any combination of W/G

for the magic players out there. Ward counters the spell that targets the creature with ward if the ward cost is not paid. Learned this the hard way when I had a ward 2 and ward 1 on a creature; guy targeted it with a removal spell that said "cannot be countered", and opted to not pay either ward cost still killing my creature

Rarran proving it to us that every card game besides HS is too complicated for him

Very cool to see this type of video. Keep em coming! As a suggestion, show a few more "bad" or 5/10 quality of cards. I feel like almost everything was super good and would be better to help him gauge the power if cards if he sees more baddies to compare

I like how voxy either gave him a 5/5 or 1/5 card choices, lol. A lot less jebaiting than other card guess choices.

Love this duo and hope they get back together to do this a few more times, these videos literally got me back into MtG! Also, seeing Preening Champion after Voxy's vod of Rarran drafting an entire deck makes a lot more sense, that vod was hilarious and watching them out of order was a liiittle confusing

I'm glad you invited Rogue from the X-Men to rate cards and have you rate cards. She was a great guest!

You and Voxy is soo cool to watch you guys are so much fun ❤

19:55 killed me "can only activate as an 11/11 sorcerer " 😂😂

Wait until someone shows him the card with; cascade, cascade, cascade, cascade

Watching Rarran’s brain slowly break as he tries to understand Omnath. Top tier content. I haven’t played magic in several years, but it definitely seems like you’d never get enough mana fixing to get that out the door.

i've yet to see a spellspear transform because it gets removed the turn after it is played almost every time.

Loving these collabs with Voxy, the two of you together are really entertaining

I am a yargle lover, how dare you dis my treefrog like that

old video, but I love these “X tcg player rates cards from x tcg player’s game” since you get to see different designs, and how the thinking from one card game can apply to another. thanks for being awesome :D

Mr. Rarran, love your mtg content and its so fun to watch your interactions with Voxy. Keep it up!

Omnath is one of those cards that was unusable in limited, ignored in standard, and overshadowed in commander I wish i saw more people running this in EDH

Take a shot every time Rarran says "This has to be good!"

“Have you ever played Yugioh? No but I read a card once and wanted to die” Huh?? Elesh Norn literally a wall of text on BOTH sides of the card LMAO

I feel like rarran would do better if he got to read the draft archetype list for the set. Cards are so much more contextually dependent in MTG vs HS especially. Hell I actively play MTG and I still got some stuff "wrong"

Since February I stopped playing hearthstone and got into magic pretty heavily. So to watch this for my MOM being my first real expansion is how I felt learning about these cards lol granted I think Ren should try to play a actual commander game

Justice for yargle

Its a bit hard to evaluate cards for limited because it REALLY depends on the current set and the meta. Even the very best players in Magic get cards wildly wrong when doing their pre-set evaluations because of this. If a card is excellent in this set, it doesn't mean it will be great in another set. E.g. if you took Preening Champion and put it in Adventures of the Forgotten realm where blue was unplayable, it wouldn't be good enough to lift up blue in that set, nor would it being a knight or producing red/blue tokens matter as much. Also, cards that are good at the start of a format (e.g. blue/black cards for this set) might be worse to draft by the end of the set (e.g. blue/black cards for this set) because they become overdrafted (blue/black went from the best colour pair to the third worst colour pair in this set so far). Overall I think you did pretty well considering!

Somebody's gotta teach this man the Skittles analogy to explain the mana pool.

I haven't played magic in years and still did a pretty good job guessing most of these cards. I'm quite proud of myself. I haven't played a game of magic since 2016 so 7 years. I wasn't a huge limited player, more of a commander guy myself, so I'm quite pleased I did so well. I underestimated a bit on some of the cards but was generally in the right direction with most of the cards. Omnath would be an amazing commander card; you'd be able to do nutty things with that as a commander. Love the collabs with Voxy. Keep 'em coming the two of you have great chemistry together.

Honestly 4/5 seems right for Ghalta and Mavren. It's expensive and color intensive in a format that can be pretty fast. It's one of the best bombs if it sticks around, but it also just doesn't do much immediately and has no protection against removal other than being big. It's not a terribly uncommon situation where it enters, makes a 3/3, and then eats a removal spell. That's not awful, but there's a lot of bombs in the set that can do so much more in their worst case scenario, or are just like half the mana cost and almost as backbreaking. I've also had games where it just ended before I got to 7 mana, or didn't hit double green, double white before the game ended and Ghalta and Mavren was just a dead card in hand. It's very good if you do cast it and it does stick around, but there's enough caveats there that I don't think it can just be a full 5/5.

I swear Rarran and Voxy have such chemistry! This is soooo fun 👍

So, while yes, Etali Primal Sickness is easier to get rid of by exiling it, it can die by having its toughness reduced to 0 through cards like Toxic Deluge or it can die by being sacrificed through Edict effects. It can also be temporarily removed through Boomerang style effects.

Gotta love how Rarran is entering Matrix trying to guess if a card is good, and meanwhile Voxy is almost dying of silent laughter. Those zoom-in almost scream "look at this lil' shit having the moment of her life". This was payback for the Patches incident I'm sure.

12:00 another piece that makes omnath so weak is that there isnt a lot of triple color cards in the set. including omnath AND the multiverse legends cards, theres 10 total 3+ color cards in the ENTIRE set. So omnath is almost never giving you mana

I want to add to breach the multiverse, it triggers enter the battlefield (etb) effects. Unlike battlecry, an etb triggers anytime it enters the field so you can double dip on good etbs in both decks.

Oh, this is what you were referencing when you drafted in mtg. I hope you'll collaborate with Voxy again in the future!

I just don't wanted this video to end. You could review the whole of MoM and I'd just eat that up

Cards like Omnath really go to show just how different each magic gamemode is, in a game type like commander, Omnath is probably one of the better general purpose five color cards out there. Things like this are precisely why I think Magic is the best card game on the market.

Voxy fighting all the urges to not laugh while Rarran is guessing is hilarious

I'm absolutely loving these collabs.

10:13 love this gag hilarious

I don't ever want to see another video without these two. This is gold.

“Libarry” - Rarran 😂. Great video man!

"it is a little ramp in MOM" okay Voxy 😂

Indestructible creatures can also be removed by giving it enough -x/-x where x equals the amount of defense a creature it is. PS: this is not combat damage, just spells or abbilities that do -x/-x.

You guys are fun together! Since this was about limited, I would have liked more emphasis on commons and uncommons.

Her laugh is the best ❤

The sorting algorithm made me laugh way harder than it should 😂😂😂.

Voxy explaining Elesh Norn: "It has a backside." Thirsty cardboard bois: "Hell yeah she does."

This collab continues to be the best.

I had the same reaction as him looking at that Omnath, but when I played it was mostly commander. That seems like a solid commander, a 4 mana 2 life 4/4 that gives you a mana battery and card advantage seems awesome. From the perspective of limited, building a 5 color deck seems suicidal since you're not getting your dual lands, and even in constructed formats like standard and modern where you would be able to have fancy lands it's gotta be bad for being slow. Like my modern deck was designed for optimal turn 2 kill, and average turn 3 with no ramp. An Urza player can drop up to a 7 cost colorless on turn 3 with no ramp.

omg I would watch anything these two do together relating to magic or hearthstone even tho I don't play hearthstone.

Liking before I even watch the video, I've been waiting for this since I saw that draft on Voxy's channel!

9:46 "Oh, my sweet summer child" lolololol

i remember getting the krosan cloudscaper. i think that was the name of it. it was a 13/13 at that time it was one of the biggest creatures currently available at its time. i felt so baller playing this.

Small suggestion: cards should be selected with increasing complexity and keyword introduction. E.g. you should probably show a common incubator like [[assimilate essence]] before [[Elesh Norn]] a common convoke spell like [[temporal cleansing]] before showing [[complete the circuit]] The other thing is you can probably share some interesting facts about notable cards, like how Omnath gained his 5th mana over so many years, why September 3rd is the Yargle day etc. I feel like there are just so much to talk about for every single card in Magic

I've seen too many limited games where someone don't get to 7 lands and die with the big bombs in hand to give 10/5 to Ghalta, Kogla etc. The only exception I can give is for Etali where you don't need to untap for it to be backbreaking.

Yargle has played pretty well for me. It either gets double-blocked and you blow them out or just trades for a bunch of tokens. Sometimes you get to live the dream and Kitesail your opponent into the shadow realm.

I was playing MTG like 15 years ago, i did some drafts with my friends back then! It is as she dsecribes it, and it's an INSANELY fun way to build your deck! The most fun card game mode i've ever played in my life!

Slight correction on indestructible. Indestructible creatures can also die if a spell or ability reduces their toughness to 0. Also you can force your opponent to sacrifice it as well.

30:45 “we call it like a token deck” my brother in card games, who do you think invented the term?!?

Voxy is easily one of the funniest guest Rarran had ! Her smile, her laugh, eveyrthing is son entertaining and funny to watch ! A real pleasure. She can come doingthis kind of videso anytime soon.

I will say though that rating cards for MtG limited in, essentially, a vacuum is *really* difficult, because the circumstances of what makes a card go from decent to either great or nearly garbage can vary significantly depending on the set. Like, sometimes three mana for an essentially vanilla 3/3 creature is amazing, but sometimes it's junk because its types aren't relevant, and the stats are just in a really awkward spot where you don't really want or need 3 power or toughness unless you get other benefits out of it.

You and voxy have the best energy together

I played a yargle and multani deck, basically no other rares in arena. It was wonderful when the opponent concedes to yargle and multani.

Omnath seems pretty insane in EDH ngl. He's like the god of ramp, he's card draw, you can keep mana open for counterspells and stuff and get even more mana each subsequent turn. If you have ways to protect him, he gets out of hand extremely fast.
