Magic Player That Has NOT Played Hearthstone Rates Hearthstone Cards 

I may have missed some key info at the start but I was really happy with how fun this video ended being! Hope you enjoy the video and go check out voxy, all her stuff is in the description

This was SO MUCH FUN! Thanks for having me on! Sorry Patches 😅♥️

Rarran forgeting to explain half of the game mechanics at the beginning has to be the most fun I had in a while

Rarran did not just explain the differences between Hearthstone and Magic without mentioning that the attacker picks who blocks

"I don't know if Magic has tags" My streamer in christ MtG has like 5 billion tribes.

I feel like you should've explained the basics of how minion attacking works to Voxy BEFORE showing her a bunch of minions since Magic does this very differently.

Her energy is amazing, I truly enjoyed this one.

Something interesting to note at 7:27: In Magic all cards (except lands) are spells. So creatures, as long as they are in your hand or on the stack, are considered "creature spells". Maybe Voxy also thought the additional 5 cost more would also count for creatures, which it actually doesn't. Because in Hearthstone, there are creatures and spells. So creatures are not spells.

Wild that a 1/1 pirate changed the whole meta for a few months I remember the good old 70% win rate warrior and abusing that. I recommend people that only play mtg to look up old patches warrior. It would come out turn 1 and then next turn you could deal like 10 damage in 1 turn because pirate warrior

The analysis of Loatheb is really funny because in magic, the term "spell" refers to any non land card, loatheb would be a MUCH more powerful card in magic, as it would essentially lock your opponent out of playing anything next turn, creatures included. It's funny how you can both have an agreeable conversation about this card while not realizing this difference

Watching a Hearthstone player explain the anatomy of a Hearthstone card is a little bit like watching a child explain something to an adult. Not bc Hearthstone is childish, but just because Magic is older and literally created the format Hearthstone cards are based on. "Does Magic have tribes?" is like hearing a kid ask her mom if they had phones when she was growing up. Edit: Also Voxy being shocked that a legendary is not necessarily more powerful than a common feels like hearing someone gush about seeing fireflies like they're super rare.

Part of why she might go "How the hell are you supposed to break through a Bonemare'd minion?" is because in M:TG, damage on creatures gets wiped away at the end of a turn.

We need more of these with her. She is really funny and has a really great energy about her.

Patches the Pirate would be insane in Magic the Gathering as well. Just imagine if turn 1 Ragavan also gave you a free card from your deck (Ragavan is a pirate, so it would trigger Patches).

One big thing you should ALWAYS note for magic players is, that there IS a distinction on card text between a SPELL and a MINION. Because in MTG EVERYTHING, except for land, is a spell. So Loatheb might read to a MTG players "5M 5/5 opponent does nothing next turn".

I love Voxy in magic so much; it's exciting to see her there! Plus hopefully this means Rarran rates more Magic cards 😘

you should have mentioned that minions don't heal at the end of your turn in hearthstone and that you can attack the same minion with multiple ones

Voxy's fresh approach to HS is refreshing to watch :)

This is the best magic player you've ever had on. Her coming in knowing nothing was amazing. 😂

Oh wow, that was one hell of a video. I lost it at 24:48. The pure indignation from Voxy at minions keeping their damage was hilarious. 10/10, please bring her back with even more curveballs XD

I’m only 3 minutes in and I can already tell one video with this woman is not enough.

Tyrantus is unplayable in arena too. Now if you have to pick a 10 mana card you would prefer the 10 mana 8/8 with rush that summons another 8/8 when it dies. Is faaaaaar better and a common XD 1 or 2 out of 10

I'm not even finished with the video and i'm already giggling my ass off! Great collab, already know that would love to see more!

For the next videos(with mtg players) the things you should mention is the size of the board, the fact that minions don't tap, that you can attack other minions and that the minions keep the damage dealt to them. Those are important differences I think.

I'm not sure Voxy realised the "from your deck" part of Patches. It's probably more accurate to describe Hearthstone spells as sorceries to MtG players. Instants can be played in response to other spells or abilities, even during your turn. Pretty fun video, thank you both.

If you had specified “remember - you can’t block attacks, and attacks can target minions” I think Patches would have made more sense to her as a good card. If you have a 4/1 in magic, or a 1/1 poison, that can be used to block a massive creature and kill it - the attacker never gets to choose how damage is dealt. The attacker choosing the damage, is a really massive deal and why Patches is a strong card.

Patches would be absolutely insane in Magic, in every format. He's a creature that tutors himself directly from your library into play! Imagine casting Ragavan and getting a free 1/1 you didn't have to draw on top of it.

Poison triggers on Deathrattles, there used to be the 4 mana 2/1 beast, that deals 2 to everything, in the Deathstalker Hero Power pool that you could quite consistent fuse poisonous on and clear boards :)

The most important part of understanding why Patches is good is that in Hearthstone you can directly attack minions, but you can't do that in Magic. Essentially minions double as removal in Heartstone. In Magic, if you have a value creature, like Flamewaker or Mana Tide Totem, you can simply not block with it and it will live for as long as you opponent doesn't get removal. This, coupled with the fact that in HS damage doesn't go away at the end of every turn, means that any early board presence is REALLY strong because you can snowball that into more and more of a board advantage. A 1/1 is disproportionately stronger in Hearthstone. IIRC, it was Reynad that used to say that every 1 mana 1/3 was broken. And Patches is a HUGE board advantage. Playing an pirate that is likely already alright by itself, like pre-nerf Small-Time Buccaneer and getting a free 1/1 on turn one is tremendous. AND it used to have charge! It would trade with any turn 2 play and instantly put the opponent on the defensive.

Raran, you have to start explaining to Magic players that there is no block, and that "taunt" means it automatically block any atack. And that the damage on creatures are permanent. Those are the things they need to understand beforehand to evaluate the creatures.

This was absolutely awesome. Love the energy between the both of you. Hoping for more videos with you two.

Shes a great guest for this format! As someone who moved from HS to playing MTG i always find these entertaining

As a yugioh player, the idea of a card summoning itself from the deck on a rather simple condition, is freaking mind blowing.

can we get an entire series of you and her playing each other's games?? her in arena or even ladder with you help coach would be so funny.

hell yeah great guest! defo gonna check her out after this. really cool to get someone looking at it from an "arena" perspective.

She was so fun and energetic! I loved it! Thanks for bringing her to the show and i hope she appears more often here! I'm also 100% checkjng her content!

Voxy's sass and Rarrans persistence and love for this, makes this great

I love seeing the collabs with people from the MTG community, keep it up rarran.

By far my favorite type of video from Rarran and this one was amazingly fun, I had not heard of Voxy before today but I will definitely check her out. Please keep doing more of these videos!!!

We need another one of these. I love the energy/vibe of this video. Allow me to superlike this!

OKAY OKAY OKAY WAIT! A comment you made near the end of the video gave me a suggestion for another video. You said that Hearthstone's design was taking what Magic does and making it easier to grasp from a glance. You'd be slightly mistaken. Hearthstone is actually taking the original World of Warcraft TCG, a game which legitimately did do EXACTLY what your original comment stated, and made it even more simplified than that game was. I'd be curious to see you rate some of the original WoW TCG cards. Many of the mechanics stayed the same or had similar counterparts, but the deck construction and interacts with your opponent was much more similar to MTG. Your deck was 60 cards, you could put 4 of cards into a deck with some exceptions, there were instant spells you could play on your opponent's turns, and you did not automatically gain mana at the start of your turns. They "dumbed it down" from Magic in a few ways- one of which being the way they handled mana. You could only play one mana card per turn, but ANYTHING in your hand could be a mana card. There were cards that were specifically made to be better used for mana- these were quests and location cards. If you played a non quest or non location card as mana, it would go face down in your resource bar and have no other effect other than being used for one mana. Locations were typically permanent lasting effects that would persist on the board. Something like, "Your Orcs have +1 attack" could be a possible location effect. Quests were cards which would have an effect- usually that costed some amount of mana to activate- and they would flip themselves face down after you completed them. A lot of quests would draw you cards, so something like 2 mana draw 1 card as a quest would be seen pretty often. But there were some key differences from both Magic and Hearthstone- The hero you were playing itself was actually a card you'd consider. Different heroes had different effects even within the same class, and they would also have different health values. You could play a Goblin Death Knight with 29 health, or an Undead Death Knight with 27 health, and the two would have different effects. Hero effects usually cost some high-ish amount of mana and they'd usually read, "Flip this hero over." Some of them were one time use effects so like, " 5 mana- untap all your minions this turn. Flip *Name of Hero* over," and the reverse side would have no effect. Other times, the front of the card would do nothing and the reverse would have a permanent effect like, "5 mana- Flip *Hero name over* Your Arcane Spells deal +1 damage." TL;DR- Rate some of the original World of Warcraft TCG cards because it would be fun to see you do.

This video was great! Please bring her back to the channel for more! I think it would be funny showing her some of HS's weirdest cards since she has never played the game.

that was such a fun episode, hope she returns in future videos

As someone who doesn't play Magic or Hearthstone, this was really informative

Dude I love Voxy, and she was great during the video. If you're looking for more people to invite to this, i'd love to see Amy the Amazonian or The Professor from the MTG scene.

I love seeing these videos as an MTG player myself. Also really interesting to see Voxys ratings/card interpretations as a limited MTG player. I'm wondering if you got someone who played standard or other constructed formats like modern or legacy (similar to wild in HS). I think CovertGoBlue might be interested in doing something like this and he's a very good best of 1 standard player. Loved the video keep it up!

Yaaaaaay, you did make it happen!!! I’m so excited for this collab!!!

This was awesome :D Very fun interaction between you two, and she shows such good analysis skills :D

Another banger Rarran, would love to see you do more content with voxy.

God this was AMAZING! You two are a great duo together!

Nice surprise to see Voxy on here! Loves you guys interacting together, definitely bring her back for more of these!

Love her reactions, thanks for hosting this. I’d like to see more of this, haha

Defile is similar to a MTG card called Massacre Girl Massacre Girl 3 generic and 2 Black Mana Legendary Creature - Human Assassin Menace When Massacre Girl enters the battlefield, each other creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn. Whenever a creature dies this turn, each creature other than Massacre Girl gets -1/-1 until end of turn. 4/4

Love the vibe of these people together

Fun to see the different mindsets between the game! As an MtG player i saw G'Huun and though "oh wow, 2 free cards off of that??" Since we have much more of a say in if and how we get combat damage, life total is just a resource to spend - as long as you have ways to stay alive.

That was surprisingly fun. This format is usually not my favorit but this time it gave me so much joy. Might need to get into magic a bit so I can watch her content.

G'huun is good in Arena. It's going to be next to two other Legendaries, though, so not always the best pick amongst the options you get. But it's a good effect.

"Almost all spells are instants" - Rarran, about a game completely lacking instant speed interaction

Great video! Perhaps in future videos you could load up a tutorial or bot game and show the guest a few turns so that they are familiar with the mechanics without having to worry about forgetting info Hope this becomes a series, can't wait to see more hilarious interactions from people who haven't played HS!

This was one of the better episodes in this series. The absolute shock about Hearthstone mechanics from the Magic player were very entertaining. Loved it

You should have told her about the Tony burn decks in standard, forcing them to overdraw fatigue (and tell her how that works since it’s different in MTG)

Looks great. I'd love if you had like 10 cards rated, but give her 3 Storytime Tokens, to use as she sees fit, to hear more about the card and what it had been up to. I'd love her reaction to Early Patches (the Pirate). She did say she likes games within games :p

This was not a crossover I was expecting but I'm very happy to see.

Oh nice!! Voxy is amazing im glad you two collabed :) awesome video bro

Lets go what a cool collab love it 😮😊

Patches does not make your deck any more consistent, in fact it makes it less so, because potentially drawing it is much more of a consistency downside than the upside of thinning your deck by 3-4% when you don't draw him, the actual reason he's insane is solely because of the tempo advantage of a 0 mana 1/1 that doesn't cost a card that you have access to almost every game.

Unexpected but very much welcome guest! Love Voxy!

This is awesome, you need to do this more with her! It's fun to watch it from someone who hasn't played any Hearthstone at all whatsoever. Would be cool to see her rating some relics, weapons, hero cards...

Tyrantus was not good in arena back in my days anyway, its way too slow. Btw Voxy is incredible, she got herself a new fan.

I immediately looked up planewalker when she was confused about the hero. This was great 😂

I greatly enjoyed this. Hoping you collab more with her. Or get her to play a few games on stream and watch her reactions... Or.. you could play MTG with her against a single blue deck who takes 35 minutes for his one turn... Edit: Oh it's worth noting that Patches originally had charge which is haste in MTG, meaning that you play any pirate, patches comes out and immediately either trades on board or does one damage to the hero which of course is great in an aggro deck where every single point of damage counts.

I love these videos, please make more. I play HS all the time and I’ve also played a lot of other card games which makes it even better. Voxy in particular was hilarious and fun and your byplay was chef’s kiss for sure. This video is 5/5 and I would rate is higher if I could . Let’s go!

Holy moly I had no clue who Voxy was but she is actually so funny especially matched with Rarran

I would love to see Voxy back on for round 2, she is so entertaining to have on

Great video! Had a chuckle looking at not only voxy but rarran trying to figure out how to pronounce G'huun hahaha its supposed to be "guh' whom"

Always love these MTG collabs. Amazing vid

I didn’t know her at all, but her energy is amazing and she’s quite funny

SHE IS GREAT LMAO She needs to come back for a few more videos!

I love that you did this with Voxy, earned a sub!

Feels like for future videos, you should grab classic clips of cards and show them off to the guests. The classic "Everybody get in here" loops never gets old even all these years for me.

No fking way you got Voxy doing these now?? Lesgo!

Its still hard to explain just how good Patches is But the example "if you could only play 29 instead of 30 cards" is one of the best ways to describe it (also adding YGOs "Upstart Goblin" in for an extra)

Rarran this was easily one of my favorite TCG player react videos, the energy between the two of you was awesome. Hope Voxy comes back for more shenanigans! PS: Don't let the haters get you down, your content is always top tier

Really good video! I think you worked well together, would love to see you do more!

Bonemare was LITERALLY the king of Arena when it came out. You took every single one offered to you, whoever played more Bonemares won, so her instinct that it's an insane card is completely on point, even if it isn't quite as respectable these days.

Its funny with Patches, cause I'd argue 1/1 tokens are even better in magic compared to hearthstone, cause you can block with them and they usually don't get removed as easily (by hero powers for example). A free 1/1 that comes out of the deck with another card would 100% see play in Magic.

These videos with Voxy , they are so damn good to watch! Hilariously and beautifully good!

Yo My dude thatnks for the vids this is enjoyable and hope u make more !

She honestly nailed it on almost everything

19:45 Gamer discovers Heartstone is 2 sided solitaire

Oh my god this is the best crossover episode i love voxy

I think you should have mentioned that when patches came out he had charge, which is equivalent to magics haste, and there were a lot of A) really cheap good quality pirates and B) cards that buffed pirates. Patches was used not only to reduce the number of cards in your deck, but also because you could just get insane stats for really cheap. There was a 1 mana 1/3 that equipped a 1/3 weapon, so you could literally get all that on turn 1 and just keep buffing them for the rest of the game.

Okay but like... I'm not a huge fan of MTG, but I would absolutely watch her stream. Her energy is 10/10. Do more collabs with her. I can tell how much fun you had making this video from y'all's interactions, and it shows. I'm having a great time listening to her go on about Patches Pete the Pirate or whatever it's called xD

4:45 I don’t know if Voxy plays commander. But you can see patches are similar to Edgar Markov’s eminence. Also, Patches would be broken in limited if pirates were playable. Something else to note is that pirates have been good overall throughout Hearthstone history.

for those that were not here since it came out... patches only used to have the pirate tag, and the "charge" key word (charge means it can attack as soon as it is summoned). So if you played a pirate that buffed summoned cards and/or had minions that had some buffing aura, patches was nice.

Was just watching voxy episode of shuffle up and play, never expected her on this channel

Oh hey its Voxy!

24:05 rarran really wanted to say "i agree" but he decided against it 😂

About Sally's mechanic: her concept is "you can buff her stats, so if she have 5 atk on moment her deathrattle triggers, she would deal 5 dmg to opponent's board", so yes, such keywords as poisonous and Lifesteal are also applicable to her effect

Love seeing Voxy in guest appearances
