This is the Best Deck in Standard!
So, I wasn’t planning on playing my Treant Druid in Hearthstone again for a while because the last time that I played it, it won a ton, but I didn’t really enjoy it. However, today I checked the top racnked standard decks on hsreplay.net sorted by win-rate, and I was all of 300 dust away from…

Mecha-Crusader Paladin Hands-in Mixed Results
Tody was a variation on my usual build-and-play videos. Instead of modeling my deck off of one from hsreplay.net, I took the aggro paladin from my last video and modified to include a large number of cards that buff minions while they are in my hand. I called it the Mecha-Crusader because many of those cards are…

Budget Aggro Pally
Hearthstone Build and Play I’m continuing my quest to get better at Hearthstone by building and playing decks from hsreplay.net. Of course, I usually don’t have all of the cards that I need, and today is no exception. It’s been over a week since I’ve played and the meta has shifted significantly.

Greetings, fellow humans! Ok – I’m going to be up front with you. After this line, I had some inhuman help summarizing my stream transcript. At least I’m up-front about it. Maybe it’s better to just skip the read and watch the video. Hey there, Hearthstone fans! Mean Variants here, back from a Hearthstone stream…

This is the Best Priest Deck I Can Build
(According to Hearthstone Deck Tracker) I haven’t been happy with the gameplay in Hearthstone since the Shadow of the Badlands expansion dropped. While I’d been doing pretty well, I felt, in competitive standard hearthstone up until that point, I started losing a lot more games than I won as soon as the expansion dropped. Now,…

Never Probe a Tiefling (or Anyone Else!) without permission!
This video contains spoilers for the early stages of Baldur’s Gate 3. It involves scenes that may not be suitable for all viewers. I’m a viewer. It’s me. Some of the scenes (Eye-parasites, manual brain extraction) gave me the heebie-jeebies. That said, it highlights a dialogue option you maybe shouldn’t pick, shows how to free…

11-01-2023 Hearthstone Arena – Interrupted.
Alright, I’ve been away from streaming for a bit, but I’ve got a whole new setup. It’s not all new stuff, but it’s set up in a new place, a new way. So I am going to test it out tonight with some Hearthstone and see how that goes. Last month, actually just kind of…
Got any book recommendations?
