 Greetings and salutations dear viewer. It is I Philip Magnus and I come to you from Heartstone. In fact, I come to you straight from the arena. I did craft a deck. I'm not happy with that deck, honestly. I have one single legendary. A fairly nice one, I suppose. Muckler, Tarant of the Vale. And the rest of my deck is more or less crap. I did not have any good picks for the most part. But I... I had to manage. Let's get to the game, shall we? Or rather, games. Damn, and I wanted it to be hogger. Well, we are playing versus Malfurion. Everything is lost. Haha. Not really. Right, we don't need the Grand Crusader. Not any time soon, hopefully. It's a ring farce here, not too bad. Could use the extra tree health. I'm overlocked after all. I think we're going to skip the turn one landscarrier and jump right straight into a turn two coin and a Dragonhawk Rider. It's too solid plan. Well, not a solid actually. I could play this. Ah yes, I will. I doubt he has something to kill it. Well, he could have... that one annoying card that can do three damage to minions. Instead he plays an Arabian Prophet. What does that do anyway? At the start of the turn reduce this card's cost by one. That's... that's... that's annoying actually. Let's see then. Well, at the beginning, as a start I should probably kill that lad. We don't need those pesky two damage hitting me in the face. What's his answer, I wonder? What am I thinking of doing? I think that I am... honestly not liking this. Ah, possessed villager. Oh, it's nice. The possessed villager in fact will allow me to do my... Shite. You know, that one one-shadow beast. I'm going to get to play it unless he decides to shapeshift and maim it to death. Which is let's face it within the realm of possibility. Yeah, that's exactly what he's going to do. Not too bad. I think I'm going to go face and hit him for five now. I would like to play this, but honestly... so many possibilities. Okay, first off, I should probably lifetap. A nice, very nice card. Let's play the lance carrier. Let us put a voidwalker on the field. Shall I be greedy? Yeah, I think better save than sorry, right? I mean leaving an acolyte of pain against a voidwalker. That's just a recipe for disaster, isn't it? And a zero drink. Nice. So now things might take a turn for the worst for my dear amigo here. We kill the one-cost minion in order to kill off his 4-4 beast. For one at that time, but details. And we went face. I think that was an all-around good turn. Let's see what he can do here. This is Lodge Belcher. He's one of the best cards you can get in an arena, right? Really useful, really fantastic. And I really wish I could kill you with my drain life. I really, really do. Oh, but worry not, I have a plan. Like all my plans, it probably sucks. But let's see first. Hmm, right. So is this, in fact, the scariest creature? No, I think I should first take care of you, lad. After that, I have two avenues. I can either play a big, scary, bolder fist, Ogre. Or I could play an Ogre Magi and a Dragonhawk Rider. No, I'm going to do just that. And I'm going to kill the heck out of this annoying bastard. Yes, goodbye, bone guard, lieutenant. Or shall I say a lieutenant? Hey! An inside joke for one of my many and inspirational inside voices. Now that's unpleasant. Let's see if you can get healed. Apparently not. Well, I will take you out. Sorry, mate. Then I will life-dup. And unless I get something, hmm. That may actually be even better. That's easy for a turn. And I do the drain life thing next turn. That way I actually have a frost elemental on the board. And having a minion when your enemy is bound to lose one is almost always an advantage. Now that's not fun. Not one bit. I'm in a bad position. In a nasty good bad position. Don't really have anything. Let's see what paladin card I will get. Useful, but just not now. I'm going to go face. I hate it. I hate the false dunk, Max. I hate the fact that I can't do anything against it right now. But this is all about to change. Now that he loses his divine shield, I can hopefully sacrifice the Grand Crusader and... Oh, gosh. And kill the false dunk. Which in itself is a problem. Yeah, I'm going to play the boulder fist ogre and take care of this annoying little thing. Leaving him with this probably means that he gets to, well, do some more caldo. Which I'm alright with, because I've got divine favor. And unless he plays all his cards this turn I'm going to draw a lot. Really need to draw a lot. Okay, so he's going to kill me off. My ogre off. I mean, I guess he's going to try and kill me off as well. But hopefully it's not going to work for him. That you must, theory. Oh, come on. What an asinine thing to do. Though play you as well, sorcerer. Let's carefully consider. No doubt about it, he's going to kill the booty bay bodyguard with his auctioneer. I'm going to hold off from crashing and burning. I like the team here. Goblin's an auctioneer guarded by his booty bay bodyguard. Even though he's from Gadgetown. Is that how you pronounce it? It's been so long since I've played World of Warcraft. I honestly don't remember. I'm looking forward to whatever you do, little droid. Come on. Time's a-wasting. That's bad. That's really... The worst thing that could have happened. Very dead, aren't I? Well, GG. He got me. That Kraken absolutely devoured me. Oh, it happens. Arena will be arena. Let's see what happens with the second... With the second game. Yeah, not a great start. Not by any means. Not by any account. Hopefully things... Things get better. Let's see what are we playing against now? Please don't tell me we're playing against another droid. Druid. Druid. Oh, warrior. I like those. They usually have like 50 armor or more. In ranked at least. Here. Hopefully different. Not about starting hand, I suppose. Lots of... Warlock cards. That's a given. I really want to get this one out and about. But let's see what he plays, shall we? A huge toad. Unpleasant. Certainly unpleasant. But I'm going to go with my original idea and some of the bunch of little weakling creatures to buff him up nicely. Thatlessly he's going to crash into the... Oh, gosh. That's a bit of a problem now. Well, not really. It's a trade. And I've got another one. What a glorious day. If he can't stop that one. Well, with the next turn he's going to be in trouble. Deal two damage to the enemy hero. Let's see. Okay. I'm going to go all in. But my deck is... I suppose it allows me to do that. Do I go face or do I kill this axe flinger? I'm going to go face. Might be a mistake, but... What the hell? Not a mistake yet. Let's see, let's see, let's see. Well, I think it's going to be a... card draw. How lovely. I do have a few, few possibilities here. I could do something kind of stupid, but that's a kind of annoying for him. And I'm going to take a whole bunch of damage here. But... I'm trying to milk this whole Dark Shark Hanselman thing as far as I can. It's quite the gamble. Probably won't pay off. Ah. Here it goes. The whole armor business. Right then. Let's freeze you up. And let us kill you off. I was considering freezing the little annoying known person, the shield maiden, but I decided that if I have the opportunity to kill this guy without having to, you know, sacrifice this guy, I think it would look much better for me. Let's see then. Oh, this might actually pay off. I wonder if he has anything in his hand to stop me. A brawl would do it, possibly. But brawl is also a very risky investment. Obviously not. Well played. So that's actually what my deck is supposed to do. Sadly, I'm not sure that I'm going to get the opportunity to do it again. Alright, we've got a rogue going against us now. Can you feel it? The excitement in the air? Neither can I honestly. But oh well. Let's see if we can get any tiny minions that we can exploit for attack. Obviously not. So you see, deck building only goes so far. A flaming... internal one. Not the worst thing you can do unless the rogue has a backstab in which, guys, it's just you causing harm to yourself. Plenty of harm. But at the end of the day, isn't that what being a warlock is all about? Harming yourself. I mean gratuitous quantities of pain are required to play a warlock. You literally have to be a medicist. Or, you know, an old, extremely grumpy... grumpy orc. Like, go down here. Do you have poison? For me? No? Oh, you're in trouble now, sister. I'm going to put a taunt up. Better to put this up and then play the Dark Island Warf and both one of those. Whoever survives. I'm sure that she can't kill both of them. Although rogues are pretty... tricky, nasty creatures. So one never knows what they may come up with. But within the realms of possibility I'm reasonably certain that he won't kill me. Murder me. May me with daggers and things isn't awful, dreadful. Oh boy. Well, I know what to do now. How delightful. I'm going to kill you now. So far I'm in the lead. Pretty early in the game, so. And I don't have the snowball effect I had last game, so... One can't really tell what's going to happen yet. I do, however, have a few solid turn 5 plays. I can play the Ogre Magi and the Voidwalker. And I think that's just what I'm going to do. And of course I'm going to go face because I have no interest in killing that guy and sacrificing one of my own. I'm leading. And if he doesn't do anything I'm going to win next turn. Let's see. What have you got, little rogue? What can you possibly do against me? The mightiest, the scariest of all the grumpy old warlock orcs. Nothing? Yeah. Keep telling yourself that. I'm sure you will believe it. Probably helps you sleep at night. But we both know it's not true. Let us see then. Your play. Oh my. How scary. That's it. Yep. I'll play it. It was a good game. I do say so myself. Not bad. Not bad. I'm starting to figure out how to actually play with this deck. Admittedly it's easier than I first thought it would be. I did have some concept as I was making it. Especially once I picked those two, three, three minions. I mean, one five minions. Three mana cost minions. Oh bother. I miss the mediocre monk. What a pity. Sure will. Let's see. This and this for now. At least. Actually no. Let's leave the hand as it is. I've got an opening. I've got a solid turn two. And you know, I always have a lifetop. And I've got really good turn five. Turn four is kind of a gimmicky minion. If he has silence, it's absolutely useless. But not all that much silence in arena decks. Or in any decks for that matter. Lately. Haven't seen silence as often as back in the good old days of original half stone. Well then. I think that I will name this creature in the most awful ways. The most awful minions. I could have killed him with a shallow bolt, but that seems like overdoing it a bit. At least for now. I mean, using coin and a shallow bolt just to kill a two mana cost minion. I think not. Ooh. Not cool, not cool. I don't think I'll have to end up doing just that. Yeah, I'm going to use that anew. And he's going to become stronger at the best. An equal exchange, I think. She'll now use a dagger to kill me, to maim me, to murder me. It's going to be awesome. Of course it will be. Shall I play the damned dreadsteed? That's nice, thank you. One of the most awesome one mana cost minions. If only because it looks fairly, fairly, fairly awesome. Let's see. Well, I'm going to go and make the only exchanges that make sense to me. There was perhaps a better way to play that. But honestly I did not see it. Oh, an assassin's blade. How are you useful? I'm going to make you choke on it. Let's see if you've got assassinate or something nasty that can make my bow the fist minion disappear. Because that's what you robes do. All about sleight of hand. Yep, sort of coming. There'll be. I still have plenty of opportunities. I'm holding off on playing the taunt because honestly what's the point? He has no scary beast boys on his side of the board. Oi! That was hurtful it was. Row, row, row. Oh god, what was this? No idea. Come on. Verlire. Show me what you've got. I think it's time to deploy either a dragon hawk rider or whatever comes next. Are you going to stab me again? A fair point, my lady. If that was something really useful I would have been angry that I did not play the lifetap first. Thankfully, it didn't really matter. In a way the deadsteed is very much like a constant firebowl you have. Such a useful card. If only I had something to buff it with. Oh, I had the opportunity to take a plus three three buff for any demon. That whirl or card. Maybe you don't know it, maybe you do. But I didn't take it. And now I kind of regret it. Oh gosh, that's annoying. That's really annoying. I don't like it right now. Well, to be honest, I never really did. That's besides the point. Right. Good, so now we give the deadsteed to attack Kildonaga. Lifetap, sure. Play the cobalt geomancer because if you have it play it. It's not like I've got any amazing magical cards that benefit from that one piece of spell damage. Now that's how you use a cult master. Fantastic. Now you have to kill that. Yeah, of course. Now what I do is I go and kill this guy. I play this giant fellow. And I think I'm going to heal myself for three points of health. But, that was hurtful it was. And still, you have to kill all your minions just to take care of my infernal. Unless you have some infernal card to take care of. Yeah, you saw what I did there. Haha. Oh gosh. I have no way to deal with this, do I? Well, this could work. Only it won't. Last thing. Deathwing Dragon Lord. I wish I had a card like that in my deck. Sad I don't. Anything? Brain life. Sure. I got nothing. So, so sad really. Oh well. So far we are 2 for 2. Well, this will be the last game. Probably. Let's see. Absolutely out of luck. And I think I had that game too. Before Deathwing Dragon Lord came around and decided to take a boat out of my poor old grumpy warlock. I don't blame him. I mean, orbs probably do taste like chicken. Green. Very nasty. Justing chicken. But chicken nonetheless. Right. Two possessed villages against a mage. Um... No? No. No, no, no, no, no. Yes, yes, dear. Move along now. Yeah. That will do the trick of tearing me apart. Well enough. I don't think she can deal with that. Just by using her tiny little paraboles. Yes, we already went through this. Magic tearing me apart. I'm a warlock, dearie. Warlocks get torn apart by their magic like five times a day at the very least. See? It actually works. You keep saying that, dear. And yet I'm not feeling it. Am I talking with... Yeah, I'm done. Yeah. Magic meet a trog. Trogs don't really like magic. Well, actually, they love it. They're feeding it. It's what makes them so much stronger. Please, cast a spell. Aww. How do we to get a Neroobian creature out of this whole mess now? Of course, they're going to attack me and use a phara-ball. That's obvious. Why you doubted yourself in the first place. I have no idea. First downflade is going to have to get to a few nasty surprises. Your magic. Yay, the one useless card in my deck. Okay. One of the many useless cards in my deck. Oh, look. I can finally play my moqua. I can finally play my moqua. I can't wait. It's so exciting. Yes. Quite. Yeah, deal with that. She probably has a mage spell now. Huh. All right. That was certainly one way to deal. Had a nice one, too. Let's see if I can... I know what to do. Time to feed my Argent's choir a banana. See, kids, that's why you should always eat bananas. Bananas make you strong, steady, and a killer. A killer of Kazan Mystics. Don't even ask. Oh my. That's nasty. Very nasty. Yes. Amazing. Very amazing indeed. Yeah, I'm going to just throw everything I've got at you, dearie. Do I lifetap? Yeah, I lifetap. Nice. Yeah. Just another reason to lifetap. Inspire. It's awesome. You should try it. Inspire your minions. Ah. I'm really angry at the end play. The bloody cobalge, you monster. But oh well. Biogons beat Biogons. Another lifetap. An actual good guard. With a taunt. Because those died off. Rather abruptly, I might add. How did that bomb lobber manage to hit me? Absolutely not. Not the best use of a Dark Island Wharf, to be honest. Not by a long shot. A random paladin card to my hand. Oh please, give me. It's okay. Let's see then. Oh, it's a big one. It's a nasty one. You know what, dearie? I feel like I'm holding all the cards. Hey, get it. Because she has... Gosh. Me and my big mouth. I think a... Marlok Knight is in order. Don't you lot? Yes. Good. With a Marlok Knight, Shelly. She will not stand against us. She could not possibly Marlok's knights are legendary. For their skill and might and magic. And they are heroes. And I'm going to keep referencing stuff. Let's see if you can stop me now. Unless you got a flame strike just now. I think this game is mine. You don't have a flame strike. I can tell. Come on, darling. Don't waste my time. You threaten her? I think I shall. Much suffering, such wow. I like it when they take their time with only a single card. It's very... so mature of them. Maybe she's calculating something in her head. Or here. Remy. Remy is more of a man's name, right? Like Ramilla Bugh from X-Men. Real grown up. Oh well played. You did make me sing for my supper. At all. Here to win. I think... I think that's enough. No, one more. If we win I think we're going to stop here for now. Because gosh, I'm actually becoming really sleepy. And... And characteristically for me. Yup. My language ability has all but dissipated. Yes, your souls and asking for them. It's what we warlocks, mages and the like do. Not a great hand. Not at all. Ugh. To admit it's getting better. But, you know not all the time. Oh, another six cost minion. How amazing. How great. Fantastic. Well, at least you didn't have jeopardy identity to stop me. Why did I do that? Honestly the battle cry of the lance carrier gives a friendly minion plus two attack permanently. And to give it to this one would have been a mistake. Oh, I know what she has. I do not expect that. But it's a good card. A very good card in fact. Let's see if I will have to pay my taunt or if I will be able to inspire my minion. Taunt it is. Now you... Now I draw you. Let's do as much damage as possible before the annoying little elemental elemental. Oh gosh. I do not buy any minions to appreciate that. Not at all. There's so many great plays I could have done. Need to do those six points of damage. Now which I could have freeze minion. Where is that elemental when you need it? I expected that. Can you take care of my annoying little Darkshire Councilman? Because if you can not gonna lie I'm going to make you suffer. What the hell was that? Should we have a 5-6 or just a 5-5? Honestly I prefer a minion I can feed two bananas to instead of a minion who's dying anyway. Let's see. Yes you are. Nasty. I don't appreciate that. I feed those bananas to you boys or I risk something going horribly wrong. Yeah. I'm going to feed bananas to my dragon skin sorcerer. Let's see how she deals with that. I hope she doesn't have a taunt. I really do. Not cool. Let's see then. Six points of damage. This is the most I can do. So many possibilities. Let's sting them through. Shall we? Okay. So. I can give one banana to my ogre. I can play another ogre. I can give the second banana to my dragon skin sorcerer. And that's about all I could possibly do. Better go for it. Right. Let's see if she can take care of two 7 health minions. Obviously I'm still not at the place I need to be at in order to end her. And she's got plenty of cards which is only making things a lot more difficult. What's that? Deary. Deary, Deary, Deary. I'll give you a few quests. Why don't I? Was that greedy? Yes. That is so cool. I love it. I absolutely do. Now my only worry is oh, lovely. I think we're pretty near that point where I kill her. Might be next turn in fact. Does she have any ice spells? Any nasty ice spells? Or taunts? Taunts will generally do the trick as well. Do that. Now I could play a taunt of my own and have a taunt down. Or I could play the awesome card I just got. Can't wait to see how he'll respond to that. Hmm. Good. That's very good. Very nice. Very noble. Well, it's a demon. So maybe noble is not the best of words. But you know where I'm coming from. Another taunt, really. Hmm. Let's restore tree health to my hero. In the hopes that he doesn't have any magey shite which can murder me. And if he has drawn Oh God. He drew a fireball didn't he? Yeah, he did. Not. He's just being cruel right now. Right. So no fireball then. What in need? If I had to guess there is no. Stop wasting my time woman. Thank you. Well played. I honestly thought he drew a fireball and I was so angry. So annoyed with the prospect of having a taunt and now playing it that I You can't imagine my frustration. Anyway, we'll continue next time. Bye guys. Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this, please click on that subscribe button. If not, well, click on it anyway. Bye.
