    Some common FAQ: 1. X Y or Z was good in Arena. I bet it was! Card changes whether they be buffs, nerfs or reworks aren't made with Arena in mind. I also did not discuss them with Arena in mind. 😂 2. I'm sorry I physically hurt so many of you with my pronunciation of Addled Grizzly 😭 3. "Relevant play" for this video was determined by the card being in a top meta deck, those of which you'd typically see on a meta report, for more than a small enough time to no longer be dismissed as experimentation. I'm sure you could hit legend with decks built around any of these cards. 😅

    The worgen greaser joke buff actually affected the game negatively since there's a board clear dr boom adventure puzzle that was intended to be solved with 6/4 greaser, now the 6/5 greaser remains alive with 1 hp and the puzzle is unsolveable
  • @LauraLovesHugs
    the Anub'Arak-Umbra interaction is so funny, in magic it'd just be an outright infinite due to the unlimited board space.
  • @MrHappyPariah
    Well you're right, no one has ever heard of "Add Lead" Grizzly, but we've all heard of Addled Grizzly
  • @Spooky_Bard
    Them going to the effort of buffing Tyrantus and then printing Toyrantus who completely obsoletes it is just pure comedy.
  • @TrimutiusToo
    Warhorse trainer was buffed as it entered into core set, and buffed version did see some play in standard
  • @KrivitskyM
    Acidmaw saw play after the buff. It led to Trial of the Jormungars being nerfed to 6 mana instead of 5.
  • @Crawdithe98
    Notice how most of these cards on here are from the Grand Tournament. Perhaps that's saying something about the Grand Tournament.
  • Seeing the Firebat gameplay at around 2:55 brings back so many memories of old school HS.

    Ill be honest. I miss 2014 hearthstone. I wish i could go back
  • @electricVGC
    Some of these cards were relevant in Caverns of Time era Arena. Worgen Greaser was genuinely good for like, two entire Arena rotations. Still kinda OK now.

    Annoying pronunciation correction is annoying; I believe that in "addled grizzly" the "addle" is pronounced similar to "paddle" without the "p," i.e., the verb "addle" is being used to describe the grizzly and when modifying it as the receiver of the action (think "frustrate" --> "frustrated"), "addle" transforms into "addled." Irregardless, great video!
  • Ball of spiders is something I do remember playing waaayyyy back for 6 mana, and I still play it today in my Ramekhan Roar Hunter, good stuffs, good video!
  • @Proxalox
    Your pronunciation of addled was wild. Also warhorse trainer’s full art is incredible I gotta go look at old art now
  • Also, you can't tell me that a card buff that drove beast druid, a joke archetype for so long, to RANK 1 LEGEND in WILD(!), was a nothing-buff
  • @trevoreyre2775
    I don't play Hearthstone often, but I believe that Warhorse Trainer sees play in Wild and it can be very strong due to how many cards are available that summon Silver Hands.
  • @joeyghostx
    So as a Naxxramus player, the Ball of Spiders had 2 things: Deathrattles were very rare value cards since we were still in a Vanilla card era like Yugioh before powerscaling. The second reason is we had Beast activators in Hunter that worked really well with Ball of Spiders. The issue is that everything now has an effect just like Yugioh, so Ball of Spiders has alot less power scalling now since we are past the Quest era of Ungoro

    woah, so much nostalgia. It's pretty insane how much hs got powercrept, but i really like them adjusting cards.
