If anyone cares enough, all of Trump’s reviews are up and he has a few contentious picks. A few cards people considered quite highly, he has relegated to the trash pile. Perhaps most notably Robes of Protection, which many people thought would break the game he gave a 1 star. Sphere of Sapience he also gave a 3 star rating. Interestingly he also gave Pen Flinger 1 stars.
Magehunter, another card people were freaking out over, he gave 1 star. (He also gave Glide a 5 star rating, a card I was never sold on; so let me be the first to offer some disagreement; I think it will end up being a 3 star card personally).
He also rated Devolving Missiles, another card that has people talking, quite low (1 or 2, I forget which).
Not that Trump is some sort of Nostradamus or anything, as I’m sure many posters will be quick to point out the times he has whiffed.
Some of his highest picks for the expansion were Troublemaker, Secret Passage, Instructor Fireheart, Soulshard Lipidary, Lightning Bloom and Twilight Runner (to name a few)
Thought it was worth making a thread on. Feel free to discuss it below if you like as I’m sure his predictions will cause some contention; and at the end of the day, even if and when is wrong, that is it’s own source of amusement.
I really don’t want to turn this into another Glide debate. I’ve said what I think and the expansion is so close that we’ll know in the next couple of days anyway.
Robe of Sapience will hit Wild aggro like a storm. Imagine not being able to use single targets on cards like Henchclan Thug and the momentum one drops that most odd decks run nowadays.
Trump is probably the most accurate with his card ratings, but remember he did rate pre nerf Corridor Creeper a 1 star card…
Does being acerbic give you an ego boost? His videos get on average between 100-200k views and he is one of the most respected and well known youtubers for Hearthstone.
I don’t even know why you would bother to post something so pointless.
Yeah, wasting 30 seconds of my life when I’m literally doing nothing shows how little respect I have for my own time.
Point is; who gives a darn about Trump’s review ? Why would you even make a thread about it ? Has he even ever been into Grand Master ? What has he won as a competitive HS player ? He’s overrated.
He USED to be pretty good back in the days but he is way past his prime.
If anyone cares about him then they’ll already be aware of his review, no need for this thread.
Why don’t you try to have your own opinion instead ?
His opinions were pretty much spot on what I thought of the cards especially magehunter which the community overrated and I dont understand why its really not as good as they say it is.
Dude… you have issues. Clearly some of us are interested to what he has to say. For every view on his review videos is a one person who cares what he has to say; which is more than can be said for any of the pathetic acid you are spewing.
As for my own opinion I was quite active on the card reveal discussions on this forum, where I frequently weighed in and even got into debates with certain posters about some of the cards.
Why not? This seems like such a weird thing to complain about. Plenty of nobodies in this forum mouth off their opinions (hi!), why would Trump’s opinion be treated any differently?
So you are comparing my posts in this thread to Trump’s review ? Okay buddy…
He has been making videos since release, obviously he’ll be getting a lot views, that’s his freaking full-time job.
Point is Trump’s an old Hearthstone relique. He really isn’t relevant anymore. I don’t even know if he averages more than 2000 viewers anymore. His content isn’t even entertaining.
It’s important to remember Trump’s standards for ratings. It’s not about if it’s a powerful card, it’s if he thinks that a deck that will run it will be successful in the meta. So he’s trying to predict the meta and how important the card will be to the meta. That’s a pretty tall order, and he can quantify how right or wrong he is.
And make another video about how accurate he was for more sweet Youtube moneys. If nothing else, it’s great to see a predictor evaluate his own predictions.
So; Trump predicts what I said. Mages will be forced to play HL for YET ANOTHER expansion if they intend to win anything at all (At tier three, probably not much.). If this proves to be true, I will be among the loudest in calling Team 5 out.
