1:14 It's a reference to the online poll that was held to name a polar scientific research boat in England. The winner was Boaty McBoatface, but they rejected the name (cowards) and ended up calling it the Sir David Attenborough. They called one of the autonomous subs carried by the boat Boaty McBoatface instead.

Seems the death knight rune system is harder to maintain than they expected. Feels like they're just phoning it in, and the rune allocations + cards feel pretty uninspired.

Mining casualties was one of the best early game cards printed for DK, it was even run in hand buff despite not benefitting from the buff. This is an autoinclude in hand buff at least and you might just run both

The ghoul that cost 1 less says that snowboarding is super safe because he has been injured just once, the card that freezes and draws is the time he got injured xd

Eliza is an actually really well designed card, it works perfectly with the little minions and desthrattle synergies of DK, but the runes... they are horrible.

Imo they need to be printing more reasons to play not rainbow, and they should have the standard be two rune cards, like archetypes being double frost, double blood, double unholy, and rainbow. That way the archetypes are less restrictive.

I feel like Eliza's effect having the ability to stack multiple times makes it scarier

I like the concept of Carress, that's a cool game within a game, like trying to make your perfect combo, but also being limited by the situation and having to decide what is more worth it

Warlock actually might run a small freeze package with Glacial Shard and Soul Freeze because it gets a 1 mana 4/4 and 3 mana freeze 4 draw for 4 if Slippery Slope is combined with Soul Freeze!

Eliza is in my opinion so insane. At a base level besides buffing every minion, without any combo it basically also upgrades you hero power. Deathknight has access to cards to spread deathrattles, the new minion that gives deathrattle minions reborn and Eliza can be discovered for both blood and frost. If you even hit one of these suddenly your hero power goes to 3/1 or 4/1......... Additionally as a warlock you can also use her. The tourist triggers her instantly and also double, when also playing the reborn minion you get it four times with a 3 minion combo. Suddely having +4 attack on all minions as either class that both have their sources of tokens (such as DK HP) this can quickly hit critical mass. The reason why totem shaman fell of, is because you have to build your whole deck around it and get +2 attack on totems(which are usually mostly useless tokens) The DK and Warlock tokes on the other hand are already used and still get a similar if not with a combo better buff. A slow turn 4 for a constant buff to types of cards you were already going to play(aka ay card that creates or is a minion) seems just like an obvious pick to include in any deck. Unlike totem your whole deck doesnt have to play around it. This also means it doesnt kill you not drawing Eliza, unlike not drawing the +2 attack on totems. At the end of the day its just 1 card in your deck you may not see some games and at that point it cant really impact you egatively unless you hit it as a topdeck whe you needed an answe for something.

With Handbuff Pala Charge Windfury Pirates being a thing i doubt many Decks will be viable the first week(s) but as soon as Blizz nerfs all the otk combos that can deal 30-60 dmg in a single turn we might see some cards being really good.

No fucking way eliza isn't an unholy dk card.

the legendary with the deathrattle basically ups your hero power. Also DK has a lot of small bodies, it's not bad, i'd say.

how is eliza bad????? literally can reborn it and get a 3/1 hero power on dk

Isn't frosty decor just cold case with extra steps? Seems pretty decent

An aggressive deck where you play the 5 mana naga whit only 2 specific spell schools on the deck?

eliza goreblade: upgrade your starting hero power and make ghouls night viable

Frosty Decor is actually good though. It's like 16 health. Cold Case saw play in mage at 4 mana for half as much armor and the skeles didn't have taunt.

frost dk was almost playable before but it desperately needed more dmg to finish your enemies off and it needed more corpse generation

Would the brittle buccaneer not be amazing for excavate warlock? Get snakes faster/ more than 2 snakes a game?

Of particular note, given the rune system, Warlock can not run Eliza since you can not mix runes as a tourist

Eliza is a good card, but will probably be stuffed by the meta, like so many good cards are. DK has yelling yodeller combos, new synergies that gice eliza reborn, she has two tribes, which may lead to tutoring and discovering her, AND SHE IMPACTS YOUR HERO POWER!

So i think death knight has a slight bit of potential, because of the Eliza and Ghouls Night combo, if the board is empty, just 1 eliza death is enough for a 4 mana pyroblast, however if you gave her reborn, that 4 mana spell could do 15 damage face on an empty board, but if there's 1 minion left with 1-3 hp you could still do massive damage to face.

Oh wow, a legendary that synergize with swarm in DK ! Better give it every rune aside from Unholy !

Why the fuck is Eliza DK/Shaman? She's literally a rogue.

lt looks like this expansion's gonna be Paladin again... Woo hoo so excited!!!

you also have a location that gives reborn and the 1 cost spell that spreads the death rattle

rainbow deathrattle deathknight is coming, mark my words rarran.

is that a fucking "unbothered, wet, happy, in my goop" reference?

Songs?

I think the issue with the Rune system is that they made duel rune cards to quickly (cards with more then one type of rune on it). I and I assume a lot of people expected them to eventually do duel rune cards, but I did not except them to do it in mini-set where death knight was released. I think they should of waited for at least two expansions before releasing duel rune cards, simply to let the individual runes gain power and identity. To me it kind of feels like a limitation the Hearthstone team kind of regrets putting on themselves, if that makes sense.

new elisa feels like a battleground minion

Idk if it'll be any good but Shudderblock + Cabaret Headliner is -6 Mana on one spell of each spell school in your hand. Definitely takes some time to setup but if there's a suitable pay-off like an OTK or mega pop off turn then it might be worth it. If not now then perhaps in the future.

I WILL forcibly try to make freeze DK work.

I think Death Knight looks quite good actually. Their efforts on the rune system are getting less and less exciting, but the power level is still there IMO. The 2 F rune card looks stinky, but the rest have a lot of synergy.

the dr. frankestein card that discovers 3 dr minions can discover this too right?

I love the BGs Undead strat of “Six 10/1’s with Reborn”, and I think that’s what they’re trying with Eliza. I don’t think that’s relevant on ladder where they can Southsea your face tho

The problem with Freezing in Frost DK is that Frost DK is a burn deck

I actually think that the more rarran thumbnails are so funny idc

Loveee Death Knights runes soooo hecking fun ! Hopefully they remove that rune thrash soon

eliza with a deck that has ways to proc deathrattles/reborn seem good, but tourist is only cards from this set, so [reverberations, cursed campaign| sinister soulcage, deathgrowl, yelling yodler, boneshredder], zola, ravenous kraken and cover artist might make it relevant. if you have a bunch of cards like that that are great when copied, it might make a deck, there's a surprising amount of ways to dupe it.. also you might be able to make a meme deck using colifero the artist and only summon spells. (meme because unless you have a way to shuffle back or get colifero early, your plans will be ruined when you draw wrong )

Imagine guy who play with Keleseth underrate +1 attack on all minions xD

oh boy time to play plague deathknight.....again and again and again

Gotta say, love the super mario galaxy music

Eliza is gonna be a lot better than you think my man

why when i search more r it suggest me more rattan and its u?

How many Spellschools are there in Hearthstone? Wouldnt it be POG to play Razzle Dazzle and get 6 AFKs off of it?

Slippery Slope is powercrept Frost Shock but still bad??^^

Elemental Inspiration sees little play now so Razzle Dazzler is screwed

Rarran doesn't know Boaty McBoatface...

Content Idea: Build decks that are based around legaue campions vs Eddy (or me :p). Example jhin all spells cost for or are 4 letters long

Eliza will be weak just because you have to draw it really early or its worthless.

Maybe they wanted Eliza to be top end for a zoo warlock? Might be too slow and the runes.. If it gets buffed the runes are probably the first thing to go.

stupid question maybe, but can DK use the warlock legendary or have i misunderstood the tourist mechanic?

Thanks Rarran for showing me this game so I can suffer reno and all the stuff

As someone who actually likes the shaman cards from the recent sets, even if they're not top of the meta. for me these new cards are just okay, not super exciting and don't look as fun as the last sets. I think the legendary might have potential with shaman, the 6 damage might work similarly to kalimos and there are other interesting ideas. But I don't really wanna run a lot of spell schools

For 7 mana, you could go Brittlebone Buccaneer into Frosty Decor and create two 2/4 Elementals with Taunt, Reborn, and 'Deathrattle: Gain 4 Armor'. That means you effectively have two 2/8 Taunt minions that give you 8 armor when killed, which essentially translates to 32 points of potential damage block your opponent has to contend with if they don't otherwise have an answer for it. For 7 mana...

eliza will be seen more often if the pirate rogue lists discover pirates ourside of their class.

The problem I have with Eliza, ironically, isn't the effect. Its the Runes. I HATE the fact that the Rune system, instead of a fun deckbuilding tool and an interesting design challenge, has just been relegated to a way for them to superficially limit cards. (I mean, why the hell is the Headless Horseman not a generic DK Hero card? Its NOT that OP, especially compared to Reno, Lone Ranger which has been nerfed TWICE and is still one of the most powerfull cards ever printed) Plus, while I love Rainbow DK, it has been getting TOO MUCH support. Triple Frost and Blood are DEAD in Standard right now and Triple Unholy is hanging by a thread thanks to the Plague strategy. Its a mess and most of the carss fof the last 2 , now 3, expansions have done nothing to alleviate it.

The ONLY issue with Eliza is an aggro DK deck is just 10 times worse than handbuff paladin. Handbuff paladin snuffs out any other fast deck and needs to get gutted in order for any new cards to see play.

ghouls night gotta be bad, its like that one paladin card but i feel its worse

Wait if the 3 mana 2/2 can hit the same target multiple times then isn't that broken? ~Rarran is coping with Eliza, I think triggering it once is good, more than once it's probably broken, but again I think it'll probably see 0 play before nerfs, I'm betting on everything being unplayable first week because windfury pirate.

Not only does Eliza makes no sense being a Blood/Frost card (the tank + spell burst specs), she doesn't even makes sense as a DK card. Why? Because in WoW she is a rogue, is part of the Combat Artifact from back in Legion. So that's double dumb.

what am I missing? He keeps mentioning how DK cards would be good or not in Lock. Is there some new cross-class mechanic?

1. Eliza is going to be *disgusting* , the card is *deceptively* strong the more you think about it. 2. But I do agree that, overall, Death Knight's cards are pretty damn underwhelming for the most part. At least in terms of power level

11:50 Wow that Dreadhound Handler is one of the best 2 drops that's ever been in the game. Definitely better than Mining Casualties, which is already one of the best, if not the best, 2 drops of all time. Eliza is also being incredibly underrated I think, this is strictly better than a buff that gives all minions in your hand/deck/board +1 attack, because it also interacts with generated minions, reborn, and your hero power.

I am deeply sorry but dk along with warlock seems the best 2 class rn they got a lot of good deathrattle minions and support cards

You love to see Rarran sporting the Wubby merch

Im making it to legend with a.f.k

My rainbow deck is so desperate for corpses I’m 100 playing mining casualties and dreadhound handler, and crop rotation and ghouls night and I’m gonna be happy about it.

Its always good to rely on Rarran to have shitty takes. Thanks dood!

I really don't buy the Eliza hype. Genuinely what is the payoff people are seeing that I'm not? The main thing I can think of is the disneyland scenario where you somehow get 5 procs of the deathrattle off in a single match and play Ghouls' Night on an empty board for a shitty OTK. Like, genuinely, what am I missing? Crop Rotation already full clears almost any board under most circumstances, if you want to buff Quiltor and Gnome-Muncher you'll have a much easier time of it with handbuff, Reska already had no trouble killing most things, and Primus already forces hard-removal, making him trade better is meaningless. Eliza can't be put into aggro because her runes are wrong and she's too slow... genuinely what are you people seeing that I'm not?

I can see some ye ye ass deck that has some way of pinging it's minion or cycling some silly bs like scourge rager or something and proc the location 5 times in a row.

wtf painlock + DK cards will be funny

Yay, more questionable takes from my favourite StS gamer

How about runes? when warlock uses a tourists to add DK cards into his deck, does he also have to pick the runes? or can he pick anything he want

It's so nice watching someone else have the same opinions as me instead of all the copium on the subreddit saying the cards are good or will open up new deck options.

I'm so glad death knight gets a 2 drop that mimics excavating 4 times and playing rat for their reska, really nice addition blizzard :D

Ewwww stitchface and that 2 mana reborn card... no ren=like 30 mana of stats for 8

Surprised that Eliza doesn’t have Rush to actually give it a chance to trigger the Deathrattle.

shaman got a bunch of clown rng nonsense. nuff said, lets me skip another season after playing for 15 minutes to get back to diamond 3 for the season chest. I guess they dont want us to actually play, they just wanna jerk us around with RaNdOm! hahahahahaha so funny and whimsical!!!!!

It cant just be me this guy sounds so muhc like family guy Chris especially when he gets emotional lmfao

freezing is undervalued imo, but still its not fun, they just recycle fucking freeze mage into dk... who cares it's fucking unfun

didn't the hearthstone team say during the release of death knight that the rune system was entirely so they could print a ton of busted cards but not have them all go in the same deck and be bonkers

Day 11 of asking Rarran to play Griftlands

I came

still waiting for dk to get real cards, last real card was primus.

A 4 mana card that gives a +1 attack to all your minions for the rest of the game "not that good". Thank you for the "brilliant" analysis brah.

50 seconds and no views. Bro fell off

First like! Another great vid mate! Keep it up and great work!!!!!
