Heartbreaking: local man discovers the innervate nerf

It’s very appropriate that Sean chose this deck, because if you showed him Owlonius’ art without any other context there’s a good chance he’d call them Owlonius anyway.

Love Day9 doing the first ever reverse Deck tech video, where instead of explaining a deck to an audience, the audience explains a deck to him.

watching day 9 pilot druid is like watching my grandpa try to pilot a spaceship

"34 is oftentimes less than 38". Wise words.

Loved watching you walk through the various lines of play @52:30. Very illuminating, and makes me want to spend time reflecting on my own possible plays more in the future.

I've played over 50 games of owl druid and that paint combo explanation opened my mind to new variations

The ms paint explanation about an hour in actually helped me see how you're supposed to use phial too, I've definitely been doing it wrong. Shout outs to whoever pointed that line out in chat!

The Microsoft Paint part of this video was amazing. I loved how Day9 was able to walk through the different scenarios and finally land at the lethal combo. It would have been tough to see that in-game with limited time, even for someone who has been playing the game regularly.

I remembered the days when Day9 posted hearthstone videos and I literally stopped what I was doing to watch them. Glad to see this content back again in 2024.

I love the trademark Day9 turn one play of Explain a very simple thing in so much unnecessary detail that it becomes confusing for no reason until the rope reaches it's end into end turn. It's the next best thing after prep concede

1:53:34 Incoming best Yogg-Saron, Unleashed I have ever seen! Holy crap that was amazing!

First stream back and my man already found a way to "prep the coin". Feels like home

Hilarious to start with this deck as a welcome back

I would love to see you and Voxy do a Hearthstone collab, she was constantly saying creatures are not spells as well. I think it would be fun to see you put your brains together since you have the past knowledge of game mechanics but she has been playing more recently.

1:54:07 🤣🤣🤣 As someone who has never played this game I can relate.

Day9 and I had the same reaction to Leroy being back 😂

I love how you have a giant water jug but you pour out such moderate amounts at a time

I had a similar experience, we had a hill called dead man's hill that had a steep decline and ended in a sharp right turn in front of a 5 ft drop into a rocky creek. It was called dead man's hill because people in cars and on motorcycles used to die there all the time. anyways my friend and I decided to ride bikes down the hill because we were 11 and stupid. it went great the first few times as we just rode our breaks the whole way down and kept our speed slow enough. eventually it became a bit of a competition on who was a scaredy cat and who would go faster. after a round of being scaredy cat I decided my honor was on the line, and instead of breaking, I cranked my 10 speed to full speed and started pedaling as hard as I could. about halfway down the bike started shaking like a bronco, and I panicked. I slammed the breaks with all the force I could muster, and learned that I could fly. I watched the ground drift away, and felt a moment of calm, the shaking was gone and everything felt weightless. then the bottom of the hill started rushing towards me, and the realization that my bike had somehow flown higher and further than I had. I tore my pants wide open from belt to sock and the sleeve off my shirt. which is fine because I was also bleeding all over them and they were ruined anyways. my bike was in the creek handlebars twisted and cockeyed, tire bent in a strange crescent moon. my friend rushed over eyes wide, and only started breathing again when I asked if I had died. eventually he fished my bike out of the creek for me and we began the 15 minute walk home with me leaving a trail of blood drops through the neighborhood. once we were about two houses away from my house my friend wished me luck in dealing with my parents and rode his bike home faster than I had ever seen him ride. my mother was not impressed, not only was I all torn up, we were late going somewhere, I had a quick shower, got slathered in iodine and bandages, and thrown in the back of car being told I'd be fine. they of course new I'd be fine because I had already been to the hospital 4 times for other worse injuries by that point in my life, but those are other stories I don't remember as well.

I^ve never seen a youtuber with such a steep learning curve like him in my life. Loved it.

Day9: There's no interactivity on your opponents turn! Boring, disengaging! Also Day9: Ropes for no reason

Can we get a wellness check on the guy that asked what was in the bottle?

Welcome back , Day9 !!! You were my absolute favorite streamer when u streamed Hearthstone ! Hope you can play this more often :D !! Greetings from Peru !

Man what a blast from this past! I used to love watching your HS streams/YT videos!!

As a fellow Rogue player and mana cheat enjoyer. I immediately looked for reducing the owl first. Because that's the most ducebag thing to do. For me, learning is the most fun part of playing competitive games. And annoying the shit out of the opponent as a close second. Winning is the side effect of learning.

Watching Day9 get Leeroy'd in his first game made my whole day.

1:21:06 Yeah. Coming from fighting games. Hainvg a 45-55 matchup is totally fine.

I feel like setting the enemy to 2 HP when you have a 2 damage spell left is intuitively a good idea 😜

How many times did people yell "trade the Snake Oil"? :D

I really appreciate your approach to game design talk and learning card games. Such a refreshing approach to see. Welcome back to Hearthstone, Day9 :)

Most hilarious thing seeing daydy9 getting choked out by leroy

I dunno why but i just love watching day9 play Hearthstone, but I also love just listening to him talk about it too

THE KING RETURNS

Day9 is who got me into hearthstone back in the day! I am so excited he's come back to the dark side after magic!

Someone, please, hire this fine voice actor. 27:27

Perfect gift for spring break.

Honestly the Best hs content In the longest time. Its shame u wont play more but these videos was lit bro

This is bringing me great joy

I play a fun owl otk in wild, I win around turn 6 with 770 damage (1 moonbeam). If u delay a little u could solar-Mbeam solar-Mbeam for 3080 damage. Its hella fucking glorious, glad i bought that one diamond On that note, glad you're back with the blizzard content:) looking forward to SCBW

Glad to see that prep - coin - concede is still a game ending combo

about the winrate, it's mostly for high end matches, not for lower level where mistakes are plentiful. a 46% winrate deck in 7 can do well over it's statistic. Though the warrior armor deck is absolutely horrible to play against.

It's good to have you back in Hearthstone, Day9. Whether you plan to play for awhile or only a little, I look forward to the content!

50:17. The order for lethal is activate the 2 enchantments -> 3 cost spell (4dm) -> 2cost legendary -> 3 cost spell for (8dmg) -> copy the legendary -> living roots -> coin -> living roots

lmao what a great watch. i too came back to check out the game recently and it is absolute nonsense. First the UI exploded with 10000 things I didn't know or care about, Eventually I found the regular ladder and found that every deck was some sort of exodia wombo combo on turn 6, and if they didn't they were probably just a bot (apparently official or unofficial!).. and just as I was figuring out what everything actually did, the new set released and all the decks I built stopped working. I have no idea how people enjoy playing this game anymore, everything was so random and crazy compared to before.

I abhor how correct you were about jungle being two snare dnb

That first game was so painful to watch. You know that feeling in TCGs when your opponent plays a good 2drop and you don't have an answer right away and it just snowballs out of control and you just lose without being able to do anything? HS dev team: "let's make that the core philosophy of the entire Paladin class!"

59:00 The big thing I take away from this scenario is to be on the lookout for when you have a pile of damage but need to find a way to cast it all. You have a billion damage but not a lot of mana. If you Phial once before Owling, that Phial isn't getting full Owl value... but it doesn't matter because the limiter is mana -- effectively you need the OWl to get Phial value not the other way around. The fact that Phialing when it deals 4 creates a net savings of 1 mana is the most important thing to recognize because it relieves pressure at the bottleneck.

When there's trouble you know who to call HeartStone Titan!!

Love the mspaint

Day9 knows DnB and Jungle, he’s gone up in my books.

Mouse-over Yogg-Saron: 18 things happened. 😂

Love these

This game is all combos and nothing else it’s crazy how easy it is to deal over 30 damage in one turn

Day9: "Hey guys im excited to see whats cha...."."LEROY JENKINS!"

i like how r/hearthstone sounds like the Queen of England 1:15

What’s a digital client?

testament of a true gamer

arnt you glad your came back ?! I came back a couple months ago and pretty sure it wont last much longer.

Hmm, enemy took 8 damage from phial, was at 30, if you had double-cast phial for another 8, then cover artist, you'd have 16 spell power and one mana, so no lethal. Oooh, but Phial into Owl means you save one mana for 2x 16 Living Roots damage + 4 phial damage instead of 8. 36 damage total. Was that enough? 😅 Edit: Somehow didn't figure you could double-phial for 44 damage!

The Subtlepaw is back, baby!!!!

Welcome back

The wild version is a lot of fun too.

I loved Day9 playing hearthstone and a little wish he kept playing it

At 42:00 you still vouldve won. Use the two spells, left alive at 2. Lose yoyr board, next turn after they wipe the board you still had roots to deal 2 for lethal.

can't believe Day of Nine is actually going to play the new indie game world of warcraft

Time for the legend to come back to life 😎😎

I welcome you back daddy powerhot

The Goat is back!

can confirm Ain’t No Love by Kove fucking slaps

46:15 you've never played Osu at a high level then

I know jack shit about Hearthstone nowadays, but watching him get bodied by a hand-Paladin using the very first card that he opened last video and rated a 0/5 is just fucking too perfect.

Adding more rope time by playing cards would be a nightmare for this extremely slow animation heavy game.

man the music in this game

I can see his deck is not the most competeteive, but i thinkk im gonna craft it, it looks so fun wtih such a high skill ceiling.

After an hour. I could see hearthstone being a combo game, that is a thing that can happen when you have no hand interactions.

I'm shocked to hear what Sean said about magic free to play. Out of the 3 card games I've played (magic, runtera, hearthstone) it was BY FAR my worst FTP experience and the hardest to actually build a competitive deck. It wasn't even close. At least in hearthstone there is a dust system to swap out cards, even if it's a horrible exchange rate. In MTGA sometimes you need to get 4 of the same mythic to have enough for a deck and if you don't have wildcards, which are very rare as a FTP, you are just screwed. There's nothing you can do about it but spend more and more money praying for the super rare mythic wild cards. And then you are terrified of spending the wild cards because they are so rare, and it doesn't help that they ban cards that often nuke the best decks and if you crafted rare support cards for that deck you just lost everything you invested in it. Even after I decided that I liked MTG and committed to spending 60 dollars an expansion, I still felt like I barely had any cards to enjoy deck building, it took everything to just keep 1 or 2 competitive decks. All that for a full AAA game cost every 3 months. I loved the gameplay but I'll never go back to it again. The ONE saving grace, which is where I suspect is where Sean is making his point, is that if you are very good at the game, and treat sealed drafts like a second job, you can in theory get a large collection of cards by grinding hundreds of sealed drafts. If you love drafts then great (though you have to draft way differently if you plan to use drafts to collect cards rather than enjoy the draft), but if you don't then you are better off getting a minimum wage job and just buying packs, it will get you there faster. If it's not clear the corporate side of MTGA has broken my heart for a game I really enjoyed so it hurts a bit to see someone like Sean endorse it as a good experience😅.

TEN BONUS STARS WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

29:03 CatJam

play wild mode. So you can use all Cards also or especially all your old ones.

It’s unbelievable how broken this game is

Man these cards seem insane. Also i want to be excited for the WoW stream but hes just going to get mobbed at spawn.

Why are there no explainers for keywords in the collection. I have no idea what Finale means

I miss you.

YES !!

I don't even play this game anymore and this was infuriating to watch.

Watching you play this for one day and I'm thoroughly convinced I have no interest in playing. :D Seems way to random and swingy

The 15 strongest cards in this deck are each 10x stronger than Ragnaros, who was the most "overpowered" minion back in my day. This game has gone too far for me to enjoy.

YES he is back!

I’d like to point out the fact that spell dmg Druid has a 37.28 win rate, meaning it is actually horrendous

i made eye contact with you

It’s not oh my god… it’s oh my yogg

Whaaaat, thats cool!

why doesnt this list have swipe?

Sean's famous last words:"Get me out of this game"

Welp its official 1:31:43 made me youtube famous

Leeeeeeerooooy.... 😅

jungle blasphemy

So good.

is it just a me thing, or just magic main players? im pretty sure if i took a break from any other card game and played mtg and came back, i would still understand the key differences of how spells work between mtg and any other card game, yes? the creatures in mtg are considered spells, but im still able to understand them as monster, minion, or creatures, and even coming back to a simpler game like hearthsone or eternal card game, the differences would still be clear, right? any other youtuber mtg mains out there still stuck with creature as spells mindset when they go to other games?

its still the slowest draw of all times, well yes, yes indeed they really need to fix that and the worst thing is that they made animations already faster didnt they because of my jaws bite
