New challenge: Having FUN in Hearthstone without opening a pack

It's really hard if you're not allowed to open the Un'goro pack from Elise

Its almost surreal to have watched this saga go on for over a week on twitch, just to be condensed down to 32 minutes. Amazing work as always

0:50 look its baby Rarran how cute

Bro that rogue game where you summoned 5 toy Crush's was a riot. Lol

Whenever I see these insane titles from Rarran and the first thing I think is. "Why is he doing this to himself? Are you ok Rarran? You know you don't need to publicly flog yourself to get views."

1:40 Dragonbane: "Am I a joke to you?"

This was great watching your adventure through your streams! I hope this video blows up!

The Rarran flashback...he looks so youthful and innocent, unburdened by these cursed challeneges.

This challenges are the type of content I'm suscribed for. Sublime work

Was enjoyable to catch a lot of these games and the ending live, good job Rarran!

Hi Rarran, your video inspired me to try to get to legend with loaner decks only. So I started 2 days ago on a new account and I got to legend tonight, mostly sludge warlock from rank 5 platinum to legend. I went 100-44 so far (61-23 on walock). So it wasn’t that grindy. I have to say that I am really impressed of how blizz made it more accessible for new players. Back then right after Blackrock Mountain I made a similar experience getting to legend with a poor’s man midrange combo druid and it took me a month from a brand new account. I had to grind the arena a lot just to get the ressources to make the deck. The path to legend was longer and more grindy back then. Keep the good work blizz to make a better experience for new players!

I'm just now getting to this video and man was it magical. Definitely one of your best videos you've ever put out. Hell yeah bro

I've been watching you for like, a year now or so. I can safely say this is by far the best video I've seen from you to date. In all honesty, one of the best Hearthstone challenges I've seen in my almost 10 years of playing. It was brilliant. Well played.

Truly stellar content my man! This was such an incredible journey. Congrats on surviving it :)

Loved this, it instantly took me back to how i felt the first time making the sweaty grind. The range of emptions. This might be a challenge worth trying

This challenge was really great to watch live - it got me through some really difficult personal times that were going on. Thank you and I really hope you continue these, irrespective of the views, but make sure the challenge is something you’ll enjoy.

Aight, the mention of Elise's Un'goro pack made me laugh out loud

what a stream, glad to be a part of it. thanks rarran

That was fucking epic. Amazing moments and a sick video to recap the whole thing. The edit is fantastic. One of your best videos for sure.

My man Rarran is 100% willing to absolutely demolish his own sanity just so he can provide us with this content. Mad respect for the accomplishment

Masterful tension in the editing on the last game, congratulations ❤

Watched all 35 hours of the full uploaded streams on youtube following this journey, was fun to watch the editing and condensed version of those streams. Ps cant believe you managed without the Elise pack, thats crazy!

This is my new favorite video of yours. Amazing work!

Seriously Rarran, your ability to make an engaging video using narration to stitch across multiple days of content is very impressive. I always look forward to these types of videos. I can 100% foresee a great career in (e-)sportscasting for you along with streaming.

One of the best HS videos I've ever watched. Great work!!!! Got my Like + Sub

You know what they say Rarran: the real content is the content you made along the way!

You've been one of the most dedicated hearthstone creators that I've followed. You've got skill, and you show us all what it means to GRIND! Keep it up Rarran!

Was a lot of fun watching this live. Great job!

As a returning player using the Plaguebringer deck it really is a meta deck already so this "challenge" is a lot easier than building with random free packs. High rank Deathknight is either a slight variation on that deck, rainbow Control or handbuff.

My heart was pounding during that final match. Great Video! Thank you for enduring!

I had no idea you got number 1 once. That's so incredible! Also I love what you put yourself through for the challenge and our entertainment.

Gosh, was one of your best videos, amazing work my man

I was waiting for the video for this series because I didn't wanna watch the streams. But I ended up watching them anyways and they were super entertaining. Great video. I hope the next challenge isn't soulsucking!

another great video, so glad i found this channel.

THAT OUR MID-GAMER RARRAN! THATS OUR STREAMER RIGHT THERE!

Great editing on this video. It was funny!

GG and congrats :) Which website can you recommend for metadecks and guides?

Thats a legendary achievement right there. Hands down the best challenge i've ever seen

I watched you hit number one legend live years ago and I think this was both more intense and more impressive

Banger video alert!

Amazing stuff Rarran ❤

Having not played hs since 2019 and this looks like a fever dream

just disenchant everything to craft whizbang; its decent enough to climb. To tack on though; Ive been around hearthstone since beta and the reality is its always been possible to make a fresh account and get legend playing free-to-play because of some of the things they give you to boost you up as you start. It is not however possible to remain free to play and win after some of the booster things you got rotate out. So a free to play player has to continuously make new accounts and get the new player bonus rewards to stay legend. The idea is they give you bonuses at first, you rank up, you fall out, you spend money to play more. Just make a new account again :}

Last month was my first real time playing competitive hearthstone. I started playing towards the end of the month, so I had little time to push my rank. I got to diamond with maybe 2 or 3 losses, which I was super happy about. I kept pushing and made it all the way to diamond 1 with few bumps in the way, but I had a 90% winrate deck. I won against everything except priest and shaman. Every single time I made it to diamond 1 all stars, I would lose 4 games in a row. I started session of hearthstone from diamond 3 and I hit diamond 1 full stars 4 times and fell back to diamond 3 every single time. I spent 8+ hours falling and climbing again that day. I gave up and didn't even try to reach legends as I had only 2 days to the month left by then and other things to do

not seen ANY heartstone content in YEARS and must say DAM it looks SOOOOOO different and gave me little urge to come back but then i realized it would bee too much money to spend

As a person who watched him for 22 hr. I can confirm that it was hell. WELL DONE Rarran

I was there. Best challenge yet man, you're the best. GGS

I recently came back to Hearthstone, chose the Warrior deck and climbed to plat with it in a couple of days. Well done on Blizzard's part making the decks.

As someone who came back to HS for a day to check out the 10 year anniversary and had pretty much nothing, you have my utmost respect

Such a hard work! Thank you!

Honestly this video made me feel kinda proud of myself for managing to get to mid-plat with my jank-ass homebrew Excavate Death Knight.

Amazing! I’m surprised you didn’t play sludgelock considering warlock is your favorite class. Congratulations rarran

elden ring music always goes hard in a tense situations, very interesting ironman-esk style gamemode 💜

Fun! I recently came back to hearthstone after like 6 years off - I built a budget Hunter deck and ran with it over something like 50 games to hit legend again...thanks to Rarran for getting me back into HS!

Crazy to see some people still playing the pre-built loaner decks at top 50 legend

It's funny that you got two demon hunters as your final boss (bad matchup) and the good matchup as your 3rd because that's literally what happened to me too (my bad matchup was hunter though). I needed 4 days with loaner warlock and plague dk to get to diamond 5 and camped there. This month, I took plagues and then zilliax rogue to legend

i think this might be one of my favourite videos so far from this channel :)

Leaving a comment and like because I felt your pain while watching this. Awesome video!

Anyone knows name of the song at the end? During last game vs warrior

Can you tell me which cards you crafted and remove from the deck ?

I mean, after the new quest changes, this is basically a much needed tutorial

This video made me subscribe! :)

Thank goodness he isn’t cheating with Elise the Trailblazer.

whats that website you ckecked what deck is at what tier?

As a returning player, I was very surprised to learn the loaner decks are actually meta. I am currently in diamond running Plaguebearer with only a couple of card changes. I will say shutting down Reno feels really good since I still have some memories of going up against the OG Reno decks

This was amazing

the clock town clock tower sound to time skip at 11:01 was too funny

I got back to hearthstone after 4 years and got legend with the warrior loaner deck. I would say the G4-P10 and D4-Legend were the hardest games to play.

This challenge went great last time! Very excited

I saw the last game live, was an epic moment

Not played Heartstone for years but that was EPIC!!!

You inspired me to return to hearthstone since leaving around 2020, I ended up getting legend with the starter deathknight in 6 days.

Damn.. I miss Hearthstone 2015-2017. Those was really good times, good cards and all. Nowadays there is about 5000% more cards and it's just ridiculous a lot of it.

I really thought you meant you grinded to rank 1 legend. Being the first one to hit legend on rank reset is much less impressive

Hearthstone doesn't deserve your content bro, absolutely amazing

Man a video with this length really Packs a punch (:

NOOOO RARRAN YOU HAVE TO SAY YOU GOT LEGEND IN THE TITLE

I respect the 5 players and 3 streamers still playing this game.

That was indeed epic

1:40 hey don’t talk ill about Dragonbane. I still have mine from the Descent of dragons days

Rarran is really looking like a Disney twist villain by the end of this

I think the loaner decks make this infinitely more possible then it would have been in the past. I just came back and they have been awesome. My meta experience has been a bit easier imo. But two decks are pretty good right now. The plague deck and the warlock deck. But I agree that the rogue deck is the most fun. Just when I pull rafaam on turn 5. I'm like do I want to make my hand and deck unplayable. But I did pull one that makes all cards that didn't start in my deck then rafaam. Made it a lot better

Helya: Hell Yeah

is there a part 2? when does he hit legend 1?

Recently hit top 2000 as a ftp player. I started playing during Old Gods and stopped about Cobolds and Catacombs-ish, I believe. Always was stuck in 7-10 rank area (old ranked). But recently I returned for a brief moment and wanted to finally get legend, so I played for a month, reaching legend in the final days and getting about top 27000, lmao. But the next month I just steamrolled to the legend in the first week that earned me top 2000. I'd say, the main factors why I got legend in a month, compared to not getting it for several years are: 1. Hearthstone is less popular, especially ranked standard. It means less competition 2. Back then I was about 14 years old, safe to say, I was worse at the game 3. Most importantly, back then I never dusted good cards, even if they were played in expensive decks that I'll never afford. This time I've chosen 4 classes that seemed good this expansion and focused on them, dusting my entire collection, except these classes. That way, I was able to afford highlander shaman, although budget decks like aggro druid and secret mage (and enrage warrior that I got for free) still did most of the heavy lifting. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

The amount of stress you went through

Just hit plat yesterday using odyn warriors. I'm a old player so I felt bad on the climb some times

Congrats 🎉

Onyxia the Broodmother is fire in tempo

Banger banger banger

I don't think I've ever been so invested in a Hearthstone video. I have ADHD and always watch YT videos while doing something else, but that last game made me drop everything else and just sit, watch and pray that you drew Helya. Congratulations Rarran, both on the achievement itself and the video :)

Haven't played in forever. Didn't Rarran have lethal already at 13:33 w/o needing to play anything else?

how did he get the dk hero card (the headless guy) ?

Thanks Rarran, videos like this truly are an inspiration to stop spending so much money on hearthstone!

Wanna start off by saying Thanks Rarran for getting me back into ranked HS. Been a BG enjoyer for years now like our boy Kripp. I started playing with the DK plague deck 4 days ago having zero games played as DK and after 64 games I'm Plat 2 'n change. Granted I have the meta version and I've barely lost matches. Deck destro locl can die in a fire 😂

The F in FTP comes from Frustrating

Got to plat with plague dk. Didn't feel fun after that xD.

THE ELDEN RING MUSIC, IM DEAD

O my. he lost so much sanity he did the weasel laugh.
