The Worst Epics in Hearthstone 

To be fair, wasting Zeph on oozing the weapon made the weapon pretty high value he traded for

"Light's Sorrow is actually broken" Well he didn't lie, it actually got broken by the ooze

Fun fact: For a little while after Shaman lost the Spell Damage totem for the Attack Buff totem, Windshear Stormcaller's battlecry wouldn't work.

did nobody tell him to play Tony into explore un'goro people with geist? Amazing.

The most epic duel using Dinomancy ruined by randomness - classic Hearthstone

Can we appreciate the decks he's facing here. That reno shaman was absolutely stoned as hell when he made that deck. Rarran not getting slaughtered bt surrender to madness priest by facing a little timmy deck

I mean Explore Ungoro has been played in combination with Tony/Geist to destroy the opponent's deck

IDK, Raran is like "ZEPH OOZED MY WEAPON?" But I'm like "Nah, your weapon oozed Zeph. Nice."

Rarran’s mom giving birth to him: *completely oblivious* The doctor: “it’s a beautiful baby boy!” Rarran’s mom: “what is? I didn’t notice any babies.”

Void contract actually saw some play in some versions of renolock with bloodbloom but i cant remember in which meta. Explore ungoro was actually played this month in some versions of reno or control warrior that included tony. Some only had it in ETC but some had a copy in the regular deck as well.

Wild when you have Marianas Trench MMR is such an absolutely goated format, just look at the state of some of the decks he went up against

I think the absolute worst was the Priest one because it forces you to build a very bad deck. Warrior one can technically be used as a late game tech against some decks when you feel your deck doesn't offer you a proper wincon anymore, so even if it's bad it has an use

3:45 I can imagine a lot of people do. I don’t have a good economy of gold, dust or skill to get many cards but I eventually got enough for the skeleton/hero power package in Nathria, eventually when the hero power package rotated I didn’t get to play my full favorite (and basically only) deck that I really loved playing. So I just took my full hero power mage package into wild with skeleton KT high end

The way the cards read makes it seem like Guff first would have gone up to 17 mana after playing Astral Communion, which would be sick

One day, I was playing Control Warlock and I faced a Jade Druid. They summoned a 1/1 with Jade Idol on turn 1. On turn 3, I played the 3/3 epic with a battlecry discover a warlock spell and take damage equal to its cost. I ended up getting Void Contract. I knew that the only way I could win this game was by using Void Contract to burn the Jade Idols into their deck. However, I couldn't use it right away because they might still have the card in their hand. So, I waited. When there were only 3 cards left in their deck, they used Jade Idol to shuffle 3 copies into their deck. On my turn, I finally used Void Contract and against all odds burned all 3 copies in a 6-card deck, giving my victory. This was my favorite moment in all my years playing this game.

6:28 Vengeful visage copy attacked their face and didn't trigger any secrets - that's how you know it's not explosive trap

Dude I feel like I gained some arcane knowledge when he said the real reason he doesn’t use a deck tracker.

There's a combo with king togwaggle, Journey to un'goro, and optionally skulking geist which is definitely not good but is hilarious 😂

This is probably the funniest video I've seen of yours. Nice work!

“It’s a screaming angle” made me laugh more than I should’ve

To quote GrosGhiles: "Dude, where is your randomly generated Ice-Block?"

What if the second Dinomancy would upgrade the hero power? Decreasing the cost and making the buff bigger could be valid options but in order to make the card actually playable they could change it so it also: summons a copy of the target, a copy of the target with specified stats (i.e. 3/3) or a Dinosaur with the target's stats (body with no text or perhaps a random Un'goro adaptation). You still have to draw and play both copies of the card but you won't have a dead card in hand/deck after playing the first copy.

epic timing

I recall the Druid and Shaman ones being rather decent during their time. A bit inconsistent and a bit win-more respectively, but hardly terrible. The Warlock and Warrior ones were mostly meme decks, but more "whatever" than outright bad. That said, my one sleeper hit from back in the days was Poisoned Blade. People would mock it and now that better cards (including better "big weapon" payoffs like Kingsbane) are around, it's unplayable, but I used to have my one copy in Reno/N'zoth control Rogue using Finley to swap heropower and it was actually decent to great - decks would usually slam oozes for low value and Poisoned Blade would shine. One of my favorite and best decks to play during Shamanstone era, both on ladder and in tournaments.

1:39 Rarran showcasing the Neuron activation meme. What a Madlad

During the quest mage/cube lock meta I lost a tournament to a generated Glacial Mysteries created by a Primordial Glyph that pulled his last Ice Block which was enough for him to survive my last turn before he started throwing infinite fireballs at my face and boi does that card live rent free in my head

lights sorrow can be good in questline paladin - with lothraxion

i've always loved light's sorrow back when it released basically DIY arcanite reaper in paladin lmaooo

Cant wait for you to play these decks again this year

I use Dinomancy in my old wild deck - it is a highlander control hunter with the 2 drop that swap heropower - I used it to make my opponents heropower useless when they dropped their deathknight herocard.

I actually built a deck using void contract that got me to legend it was a pretty damn good control deck, the aim was to copy twisting nethers to keep the board clear after you use void contract. To make time for the void contracts, I used king Pharos to build a fat board that they had to clear, which freed up the time I needed to double void contract, and then archivist Elisa to rebuild my own deck. From there it was just about timing your twisting nethers and waiting until your opponent died to fatigue. Only downside was when the deck copied void contract instead of twisting nether

Remember having a surrender to madness deck, it was hard to win

Astral Communion was actually played back in the day in some big Druid lists

looking forward to next year's surrender to madness video!

Okay that kirby music in the background is noice 👌

Dinomancy would probably be easy just doing a Hodir Gargoyle Jormungand combo. It hits for like 60 already

11:36 And before today no one had ever heard someone say these words.

i used to have an explore ungoro deck, which was control warrior, with boomship and Hakkar, then id replace the bloods with explore ungoro and coldlights

Lights sorrow pally looks pretty dang fun

I tried to make _so_ many of these work so desperately, this is going to be a BLAST :D

We have to see the completion on the last two, it must be done.

Gotta complete warrior and hunter ngl

I think if one would not have the maximum 5 secrets but either significantly higher or just no limit the mage card would actually be good, especially now in wild.

This was a modern day epic.

Similar vibes. But how about challenge somebody where you each make 4 decks, the first deck being only commons, the next only rares, full epic deck, full legendary deck

11:01 That has an animation now?!!!

Guff into Astral though... insanity

I would just like to say, if you put dinomancy in a deck that even resembles a modern beast hunter, hell even as far back as the earliest copper hunter lists, it’s a pretty easy win. Dinomancy has synergy (even if it’s bad) with a genuine meta wild deck.

you were playing a dangerous game against that questline hunter, one flare and you were smoked

can't believe rarran made a video about bad epics and didn't even look at the Constructed all-star card that is Desert Obelisk

that last game was painful to watch

"These Opponents are always trying to do something, man..." ~ Rarran, probably

epic content right on time

`It is not explosive´, when you get a minion that directly attacks, it activates explosive, so missed lethal

25:35 is exactly how i feel when im using a meme deck for a achievements to get experience and play un in wild and they want to BM

Explore ungoro has combo potencial tough. If you find away to dwitch your opponents deck, use that, switch it back then boom you kinda hindered any combo deck they had. And on top you can play loatheb or something later

Man that last game there I wish I was that lucky when I played paladin

im sure there was actually a deck that saw a lot of play with surrender to madness when it released and im pretty sure it was good too

One oft hose formerly bad epics is now part of a disgusting otk combo now lol

I remember thinking back when dinomancy was revealed "wow this card looks op" Lmao I was so wrong

"Poisoned Blade is bad." Ah you must not be a Dane enjoyer.

Pre nerf secret passage has to be the best

Is Druid class really that OP that "Astral Communion" is their worst epic? This card was actually played with decent success ever since "Ultimate Infestation" was a thing.

I can’t believe he wasn’t the zephrys ooze tech

Glacial mystery was used to set up combos faster as you have essentially 25 card deck whilet secrets are not bad

3:44 its one of my favorite decks, thats was the first deck i made for standard when i played after years of hiatus from HS

Rarran, you WILL be playing a StM deck in 2024: GUARANTEED

Dinomancy I feel is more a troll card than an epic

Why you didnt pick the option of using towagle change the deck and then use explore ungoro to destroy the enemies deck?

16:22 I thought that was a customhearthstone card at first

Quest Hunter was my sleeper in Twist because it beat Overload consistently

I cant believe new support made these cards actually viable

I also ran the totem deck and did pretty damn good with it x,D

The way to win with dinomancy is to use grizzled wizzard to give it to your opponent.

The more I think about Lifesteal, it would be a more interesting mechanic if it would only proc once.

3:33 glacial mysteries was made so mage had worse randomly generated cards

that shaman deck was so funny.

The correct way to use dinomancy is toplay an actual good hunter deck and then use grizzled wizzard to swap hero powers for one turn and turn their hero power to dinomancy. For most decks this effectively disables their hero power.

1:40 POG

Rarran sort of feels like the DougDoug of Hearthstone

28:04 Don't lie, Rarran, we all know you don't run a deck tracker because chat & comments would go on even more about how the deck isn't built optimally 😂

to be one of the endless contrarians but questline hunter is unironically one of my favourite decks of all time

Ah yes, Dinomancy From Yogg

Such a good video dude omg

He should have done the Tony explore ungoro. Have Tony die, then steamcleaner the enemy deck.

TIL Ragnaros says “By fire be purged” and not “Fight fire with burning.” I have been playing this godforsaken game since it released.

I swear all these games feel like everyone is doing a challenge run at this rank.😅 Except for warrior or perhaps it is just that bad with their epic

Consider that Explore Un'goro was bad when it offered class cards 4x as often. Now... big oof.

Ngl, kinda wanna play nightsorrow pally rn

I like how almost every card in this video came from the same year of hearthstone, what were they thinking?

Warrior 6 drop epic from Frozen throne that when drawn does 1 DMG aoe to minions? RNG whirlwind?

surender to madness was so bad i cant wait lol

Can't wait for Rarran to scream irl after seeing all the comments about tony explore ungoro

The paladin game was painful 😖

you couldve done the tony/explore ungoro/steam cleaner combo. Might not have broke you as much and the card wouldve won you the game lol

Dude, this video is epic

20:50 rarrran use the rockbiter

epic cards are the wildest cards in HS. not as powerful as legendary cards but just as unique and game-changing, and have more chance to do something original

Renounce darkness babyyyy

10:05 Solem has but i guess rarran doesnt know the wild lover person that is not roffle
