INSANE Deathrattle Value! @Alutemu_hs | Hearthstone Battlegrounds Commentary

Added: 2026-05-07

[00:00:00]Greetings, traveler.

[00:00:03]>> We're watching an elote game where we have undead, dragon, mech, demon, and beasts. Man, everything here is pretty sweet. We've got etc., we've got the panda, we've got Lich King, we've got the N'oth. Like ETC is very, very fun and good, but looks like he was swayed towards the N'oth there with the beasts, the undead, the mechs. You could have some cool stuff there. All right. So, while the Temo is in the early game, I would love to take a look at something, but this was quite interesting for me to see. So, HS Replay has the heroes, which we looked at, but they also rank the trinkets based on like how much people win with it. Want to look at the best lessers for a second. Staff tabby is actually doing well. Headstone cuz people are just committing. Maybe the MMR is still too low. What's top 1% blessing portrait? cuz it never gets picked, right? Yeah, you have to have high pick rate, otherwise the data is kind of skewed. Compass, that makes sense. Reborn, that makes sense. Still tabby here though. Wow. So, a couple of these are surprising, but it's probably cuz the pick rate is so low. And for graders, I of Sargeras. Yeah. Things that push you into demons. Bang.

[00:01:15]Anklets. What? I guess you just take this in top four, right? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:01:20]Embers postcard. Postcard's really fun and good. Electrodon 2 still doing okay.

[00:01:25]Okay, cool.

[00:01:27]So, let's see if uh Almo is going to pick any of those. I guess in a beast game, maybe Fang, but I think for like the very very highest level of play, some of them are just not going to apply just because you need to you need to really push for first. And I think with Fang anklets, for instance, it's really it's kind of hard to push first. That available only with premium. The trinkets it might be. The tracker is definitely free, which you can get here.

[00:01:54]Let me uh put the link in the chat. And you the comps you can check for free. The trinkets. The trinkets is al also free.

[00:02:04]Okay. Thank you, Blazing. My own mod knows it better. That's that's a good mod. Oh, this is not a good turn three shop though. Do we just sell our dragon and up? He's He's looking at just getting the extra death rattle and saying, "I don't really want to level."

[00:02:18]Isn't the tracker only free for the first five rounds? No, no, no, no, no.

[00:02:21]The tracker will work for free for sure.

[00:02:23]It's just if you want to have some added features, then it's uh not free. So, if you want to do personalized stat tracking, if you want to have the comps sorted by win rate in your game, like it's it's extra stuff. But the free product is already amazing. So, absolutely, man. It's cool to see Alutu just saying, you know what, I am going to buy trash here cuz it's not really trash. I am the Zoth. Surf and Surf applies twice. He's getting the uh man, he loves Super Mage here. He's taking a good look at Super Mage. I think he's just looking on a different monitor.

[00:02:59]Yeah. Okay. Levels, checks the book. And we go into the next fight.

[00:03:04]H.

[00:03:07]Yeah.

[00:03:08]So, sometimes, and it's like a pretty niche thing, but I do want to talk about it because I it might help other players, too. Sometimes I talk myself out of something because I say, well, I can't buy a one drop here and just a spell, can I? But just saying like, you know what, I am the Zothth. I have a death rattle on my board. I can add another death rattle to my board or I can sell my only death rattle in level.

[00:03:30]And when you say it like that, you're like, well, I should probably just add another death rattle to my board cuz every every death rattle is times two.

[00:03:36]All right, so we are back in the game.

[00:03:39]We are on turn five, tier four. Very very uh classic curve by the way for these trinket and time warp metas. Very nice to be on tier four when you already have your trinket or your time warp. Uh in in the case of time warps it was like oh if I get like time warp elast now I can roll on tier four and get golden four drops and that's quite good. That's a stickon by the way. Holy We tie right. Yeah. Um, in the case of trinkets, it's also nice where you can take like an expensive trinket and you've already leveled. Uh, leapers.

[00:04:14]We're leaping. Look, the sub animation comes in. He's like, somebody sees leapers, he's like, "Yeah, let's go.

[00:04:19]Let's go, baby. Let's go. We're leaping.

[00:04:21]We're leaping." Right. Streamer.

[00:04:23]Streamer. Oh, he's just going to double fish. Okay. Oh, see, this is the thing, right? He's checking out his shop and he's seeing if I can go double fish with this 28 avenge dragon, I could just milk a ton. But then he's like, ah, but frogs, the call of the frog, it calls to me.

[00:04:44]That's Viger, right, from League of Legends. All right, looks like we're ending in the fish. Yes. Okay, he almost got uh I guess the Are we egging? It is an early egg. And you're not riicking anything. Oo, I like this. I like this.

[00:05:03]I like this. I have not been able to do this. That's another advantage of going to tier four early. You can just like take the egg. Man, this is dangerous positioning. What What if he doesn't kill the dragon? Bro, sometimes people attack with something that doesn't have four damage. You know, you can lead with the one- one and then the like the reason why he doesn't have the taunt first is the taunt spawns the crab. And if the crap spawns, it's going to delay the fish, which is going to delay the 28. So, he's not getting punished here.

[00:05:33]But my god, like, oh no, the zero power taunt. Okay, we got saved. We got saved.

[00:05:39]Almost almost disaster.

[00:05:42]Ah, perfect hits, dude. The fish works on the fish, right?

[00:05:48]Uh, no, not really.

[00:05:53]Wasn't Weren't we supposed to get two?

[00:05:56]Oh, maybe it was changed to another.

[00:05:59]Maybe fish doesn't take each other's death rattle anymore. I think it used to work that way and they nerfed it. Yeah.

[00:06:05]Yeah. I think they changed the text on fish when another death rattle minion dies cuz fish if you could get two of them in previous metas where they didn't have that nerf in place, it was so stupid. You could get so many death rattles on one fish and then it was golden so it was double and when that fish died, your next golden fish had like like four times as many or something. I I it was just like if you could have um what was it like even like golden or something would just get the like stupid high numbers cuz you would just get fish into fish. Uh that was back with Chameleon by the way. though we've seen time warp chameleon but there's also regular chameleon which which has avenge on it and what people used to do was they would put their fish in the back with eyes on it so it was golden and then two chameleons behind it and then after avenge five you would get triple golden fish on your board and then they would just go crazy after that.

[00:07:04]Those were the good old days.

[00:07:07]But now they removed that option, it seems, where the fish doesn't take the death. I mean, it's still good. You're still getting all the death rattles again. It's just not times two times two. Yeah. Or time four. Time four.

[00:07:22]Does take 10 here. But good milk. Got a triple. And he gets his dragon now, doesn't he? He does. Misses on the ring bearer. Honestly, just getting a Nightbane is good, right? We have fish.

[00:07:36]Yeah.

[00:07:39]Double triple. Right, right, right, right. Can he farm spell power? He could. Another night pain. Yeah, I mean I think so. This is one of those games where you need to have like a pretty good sense of what is good because you're not playing a meta uh comp. If you're playing a meta comp, you can just kind of follow what other people have done and you're like, "Yeah, roughly this, roughly that, right? I need to."

[00:08:06]But if you got like double fish, double knight bane on turn eight, it's like, okay, welcome to no man's land. This is like, figure it out, my dude. We're not going to help you. This is not a meta comp. You have to you have to just like use common sense. Like players are like, what's common sense? That's ah, you can't you can't do that to me. He found a ring bearer and he has some spell buffs. Okay, so double nightbane, double fish ring bearer. God, there's some cool stuff available here, right? If we get the death rattle one. If we get broodmotherutter. Broodmotherutter with double fish and ring bearer. Oh, he has evoker. He can farm up evoker into combat.

[00:08:47]Oh, he's actually going to sell one night vain. That's crazy. He wants the greed from the from the farming the chroma drakes, which I think is totally acceptable.

[00:08:59]He already has four spell power. So, he's actually going to gain a lot of HP here with this ring bearer.

[00:09:08]So, just one Nightbin is probably enough. And he can keep the greed.

[00:09:13]All right, the fish died. That's nice.

[00:09:15]The good egg. Thank you very much for the prime.

[00:09:21]Ooh, little punish. Little punish. We don't lose that with another nightb on the board, right? So, we take six, but we get two chroma drakes in return. And it was not even guaranteed that he was going to lose, right? Cuz his board was actually pretty good.

[00:09:38]That's a tough one. Poets, perma buffs.

[00:09:42]H. He's got Cali. There's Bran, but he's going to do something with the fish, right? Which means he's probably going to want a ring bearer, which means the time war poet is pretty silly. Well, I wonder if you even need time poet if you're going to run two fish. Maybe you don't have enough dragons and like a regular poet cuz you can eyes it is better cuz what is this going to look like? Cuz if you have to run death rattles and double fish like there's not a lot of room for dragons after that point, right? If you run like two death rattle units and double fish that's only three dragons. If you add a poet that's only two dragons. So maybe he can run like one death rattle and double fish.

[00:10:17]Yeah, he's looking at which death rattle he wants right now. I do like the dragon that attacks immediately because that's so much better for the ring bearer. So, sewer sewer lord is a lot of attacks, too. All right, the milk the milk is out. We're freezing the wisdom bow. We want to get some attack. Oh, gist. Gist.

[00:10:37]Gist. Guist is great. Guist is great.

[00:10:41]Man, this is such a complicated game because you got that evoker, but then you have that night bane, which also goes really, really well with your double fish. You don't really want to sell your only death rattle that gives you more attacks. Like, holy. So, he's going to keep the evoker. He's going to just milk the evoker here. We don't want to taunt that. I kind of want to taunt that. Hello.

[00:11:01]>> Just going to Oh, we have a taunt in hand. I'm stupid. Ignore me. Wait, why are we freezing then? Are we just buying the wisdom ball and just chilling?

[00:11:08]Please do something.

[00:11:10]Okay, it's just two of those.

[00:11:13]I I mean, that was not optimal. I'm I'm guessing, but better than what I would have done, I think. It's like so There's so many options. I do think that the Guist is key right now cuz Gist is going to make his fish so much better. I I wonder if the evoker is actually a little bait and we just don't care about evoker. Not sure cuz I feel like we might just want to prioritize the just the number of attacks we can get off for ring bearer hidus. That is going to be very good.

[00:11:51]Like it's just like not really negotiable. Yeah, Leroy is honestly not even bad. But I mean good luck. Good luck fitting that. He found brood mutter. Brood Mutter is phenomenal here.

[00:12:03]You don't I I kind of like selling evoker. I'm not going to lie. Sell evoker, sell the hatchling, taunt the broodmother, keep double fish, and then you have fish with gist and broodmother and you farm so much spell power and you farm so many hits. Evoker keeps all the spells. I mean, if evoker didn't keep all the spells, it was already like there's there's no reason to have evoker on the board, right? He's not casting spells during his turn. So, the evoker is on the board because he's casting so many spells during the fight. But my problem is that let's say you start adding your Titus here, which you do want to, you don't have that many dragons, right? You just don't have that many. I think even the time warp poet is like not even that important. But it's still nice because you can have that in the ring bearer scale. Again, this is if I'm playing right, and I might be very wrong cuz he's absolutely taken his time here and it's it's probably quite necessary, but my my gut feeling here is I get rid of evoker and of the hatchling. I taunt the broodmotherutter.

[00:13:01]I play the Titus and the broodmother and then my double fish is going to have gge and broodmotherutter inside it. Sell a fish. If he sells a fish, we have to stop watching. It's like, sorry. It's just like he's just going to freeze and think about it next turn. Or really wow. I I mean I respect it. It's like this is too muching work. I'm just going to I you know I don't want to do anything stupid. I don't want to sell anything I'm going to regret selling.

[00:13:33]Sometimes you've got to say, "Hey, man.

[00:13:34]I I don't I I don't know if I'm going to do something really stupid here. So, I'd rather just not do anything yet."

[00:13:41]But my I mean, my greedy uh greedy inclination, let's call it like that, wants to get the Titus on the board here to farm more spell power. So, I'm just like gh give me give me that spell power with that Titus cuz I think that I want to play around ring bearer and then a bunch of dragons that are attacking with the double fish and uh just get so much value from the ring ring bearer.

[00:14:09]Okay, let's see what he ends up doing here. So, we buy brewer short. There's divine shields which he could cheese. That is true. He could play a divine shield taunt for one turn to cheese a permanent shield. Another poet. I mean my my bro like we do not have board space for that, right?

[00:14:27]Interesting. Yeah, he wants it, but it's like ah he needs like 10 board spaces here and then he's good. You know, the problem is if you want to guarantee the shield on the ring bearer, you can't run a death rattle dragon. And if you can't run a death rattle dragon, your com doesn't really make sense. Yeah, I think I agree. skipping it just because you cannot you cannot afford to not run a death rattle dragon, right? You have to run brood mutter or the welp. He needs one more turn to think it through. Hey, I mean this is a very very hard game.

[00:14:58]Okay, Evoker does get sold. I feel better now. I was just like I don't think it's Evoker, man. Oh, he could also be out of the spell power. I don't think so. Right. He just bought the pair. We're playing Titus, right?

[00:15:09]Guaranteed this turn, right, chat? He wouldn't miss another turn of double titus scaling, would he? Buddy, friendu.

[00:15:20]Yeah.

[00:15:22]What is this? Why is the titus not on the board? My man, he's killing me, chat. He's killing me again. He's so much higher rated and more experienced at like super high level than I am. It's probably correct.

[00:15:45]And then we sell a fish. Okay. Well, I mean, why are we even playing the game then if we're selling fish, right? How many games do you have the chance to play double fish?

[00:16:00]He's actually not nothing is dying cuz he's giving it so much extra health.

[00:16:04]That's hilarious. The poet the the Welp's getting permanent stats, right?

[00:16:10]But the welps are not on the board. So that's funny.

[00:16:14]Another brood. I mean, we take that over the welp. But then again, when are we playing Titus, bro? I'm happy that I don't have to play this cuz I would have messed it up a long time ago. Does the Titus do anything? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, he has Gist, right? And the fish also have Gist.

[00:16:32]Okay. Night Bane again for later. Man, we have board space problems.

[00:16:39]Oh, he didn't want to go in that. Okay, I see. I see. I see. See, guys, there's always an explanation, right? Cuz if you have golden hatchling in your fish, that is very, very good. Ooh, saloon for eyes. No eyes. Unfortunate. Okay, I get it now. He just really, really, really wanted golden hatchling cuz that is sick.

[00:17:05]Another ring bearer. Man, that freeze button has done some work. Titus on the board. Out of poets, man. Tough game, right? Like I I don't know who sells the time war poet there. Like the discipline you need to have for that cuz you just want to be like, "Oh, well, I want permanent stats, right?" But I think this is better. Can you butcher the gist? You can. All right. That's a relatively small demon board. Giwix. Oh, we can kill Giwix here. That'd be huge.

[00:17:39]You only have a couple dragons though.

[00:17:41]No, I think it's correct. Right. We're not arguing whether it's correct to sell the poet, but I'm saying people will not sell the poet there. It's so hard to see that when you are playing the game.

[00:17:59]This is stunt with uh knight banees in the hands like potentially.

[00:18:06]Not quite though.

[00:18:10]I get so many hits here.

[00:18:13]The other fish doesn't die so he is losing some uh some damage. And you will have two ring bears. Probably trying to just triple it though. Yeah, great to kill Cali there.

[00:18:27]Oh. Oh. Panda. Panda for eyes. I like that. Come on. Big money.

[00:18:35]Big money eyes. Sure. I'll take a wisdom ball.

[00:18:39]Could just roll the fish triple, but I kind of want to have two separate fish.

[00:18:48]Your wish is my suggestion. I think those zephrs from constructor. Oh my god. Uh, that is indeed golden fish and a regular fish, guys. That is exactly what I wanted. We're still going to keep double fish and we're going to have golden fish. So, it's like we have eyes now. He doesn't milk other than guys, right?

[00:19:13]Like there's no permanence like stuff, but it's still Yeah, it's so tough to fit it all.

[00:19:20]Oh, so good.

[00:19:23]You don't want to be too big here. You want the other fish to die.

[00:19:28]If Titus can somehow be golden here, it's so good, too.

[00:19:34]Man, this is fun to watch.

[00:19:40]Uh-oh. Fish is getting big.

[00:19:42]Five damage. Oh, it died. Oh, 18 spell power. 18 damage on the spell power.

[00:19:52]This is a little bit more like scallwag exodia. He's just summoning big scallwags the whole time. Yeah, it's scallwag exodia. This um sure golden Oh, golden titus too. Wait, we're not getting the Titus first. Oh, he's holding a fish now. What? Yeah. Aha.

[00:20:20]Yeah, the guist is out. The gist is out.

[00:20:22]The guest is out. We have to play another fish like 100%. He has to get the door or something. Like look, he's just sitting here like, "Yeah, I guess I'll just um Yeah, I don't really have much time here. Just going to buy the hamul and get out of here." It's like, wait, bro. What are you doing? What are you doing? Like, no. No. This is This is greatness. Screw the guy at the door.

[00:20:44]Come on. We've got to go. We got to get insane game here.

[00:20:48]All right. He's back. He's back. Okay.

[00:20:49]He's selling the guys. He's selling the guys. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[00:20:52]Okay. Okay. Okay. We're saved. Seth, we're saved. We're saved.

[00:20:57]Blaster. No. Fishy.

[00:21:01]Wait. If we go first, the fishy does doesn't die, right?

[00:21:07]This Nightbane is going to be so good, too, cuz this fish is going to just summon a bunch of stuff and then nightbane it.

[00:21:16]Guys, this is better.

[00:21:19]Yeah, this this fish will be insane. Like, no, it's still insane. Yeah, cuz look, right, he first summons a bunch of stuff and then the Nightbane goes off.

[00:21:35]It's so cool, bro. This is some proper Exodia.

[00:21:42]Ah, this is old school Exodia type stuff.

[00:21:47]Oh, the the guy isn't dead, right?

[00:21:49]That's perfect. We get another turn. We get the golden dinosa and we get to buff the uh fish, right?

[00:21:56]Just need just need like a shiny ring.

[00:21:58]Oh, you're welcome. That is my streamer Mike working through the VOD. The only reason he got that chat like just like a shiny ring is like it's fine. Yeah, those guys are pretty good too.

[00:22:16]Yeah, but no more space. I was like, why do they target mechs? It's like, yeah, you have a lot of death rattles that have triggered. True. But I mean, the comp is insane. I just keep the comp, right? Play the Titus. Play the shiny.

[00:22:27]Play the arrow. I don't know. Does it matter? Aren't we done? Isn't it just like we're good? Drop the Titus. Drop the ring. Watch the fireworks. Let's fast forward.

[00:22:39]Yeah, he just opened his Titus.

[00:22:43]Oh, he replaced it with another brute mother. Wait, is that better? Maybe he just wants more taunts to be safe.

[00:22:52]You want a reborn? Ah, reborn for the nightbane. That's true.

[00:22:58]Reborn for the nightbane is true, chat.

[00:23:01]Okay, there's no Titus on this board, so the blaster's not enough.

[00:23:08]I've been popping off.

[00:23:14]Oh, I guess he does get more attacks in after that blaster kills it. Yeah, I'm guessing he just wants more more taunts.

[00:23:23]Oh, another blaster. Yeah, but he's got too many attacks off.

[00:23:27]Beautiful.

[00:23:30]All right, just don't sniper Titus.

[00:23:31]Please, please, please, Jaxus.

[00:23:35]Please, sir, hit the fish.

[00:23:37]Yes. Yes. Look at this cat. Wait, the Nightbane died first. Wait, this is the wrong order.

[00:23:44]It's not going to above the fish, right?

[00:23:46]Yeah, it's not going to above the fish.

[00:23:47]The the text on the Nightbane doesn't allow it to buff the fish. That's fine.

[00:23:51]Now, now we get this. Yeah, now this is much more like stun trick.

[00:24:01]Yeah, the Nightbane dying first is a bit of a problem. Then you don't get like the proper Exodia effect. You want the you want the dragons to spawn first and then do you want the night bane attack to get put on the tokens. But I mean it's it's okay. It's still lethal, right? Yeah, it's Oh, wait. Maybe not.

[00:24:20]No, it's a tie.

[00:24:22]It's a tie. Oh, we go again. Okay. Okay.

[00:24:26]Okay. I mean, this is kind of just a matter of time.

[00:24:31]He just needs one fight where he's just going to buff his fish. Yeah, I like this. I like this. He's like, he's trying to blast me. I'm not going to let him. He found the reborn. Oh, but he can't buy it. No, man. That freeze button has done some work in this match, I'll tell you. He's like, we'll do it next time. We'll do it next time. He's going to make the fish just more HP. Yeah. All right, let's hop in the fight. Yeah, he had 91% to win.

[00:24:57]So, the opponent did have to destroy his Nightbane first. Yeah, cuz even if he just Oh, come on, bro.

[00:25:06]What the The the stupid hero power.

[00:25:13]Okay. Um, well, we we deal so much damage that there's no way we die here, right? I think like it's like maybe a tie again or something.

[00:25:26]Why not reborn a fish? It doesn't do anything.

[00:25:29]It never goes off because the fish the fish's death rattle will go out first and will fill the board with welps.

[00:25:38]So, as long as your fish is not getting blastered, which it isn't anymore, reborning the fish is just a waste of your money and board space. Like, what what does he want to sell for reborning here, right?

[00:25:50]Cuz he needs to make board space for a scarab. The fish is not You can't put a prosthetic hand on it.

[00:25:56]He needs to put the prosthetic hand on the nightbane. That way he can't get unlucky again, right?

[00:26:02]Cuz you just need the nightbane death rattle to go off. Not first. Idis gets sniped. Wait, he gets more nightbuffs now. No, he doesn't, right? No, he doesn't.

[00:26:18]Wait, we lose? No, we can kill the 500 maybe with the welps. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:26:25]Yeah. Okay. It's another time.

[00:26:28]He's just waiting, bro. He's like, "Come on.

[00:26:32]Come on, you little friend.

[00:26:34]>> Stop killing the Nightbane." Yeah, I think now he's 100%. To kill him.

[00:26:38]Another shiny ring. Yeah, I like that.

[00:26:40]Comp is done. So, just buff. Just Just chill. Roll for another shiny ring. I've lost my touch chat. Another ring bearer.

[00:26:48]Doesn't need it. Can the opponent win here? I think the opponent can just be annoying, but we do want to see it, right? We want to see want to see him get Nightban.

[00:27:00]Sindor. Oh no. Oh no. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[00:27:03]If the Sindor goes first and kills the Nightbin, it actually still doesn't work.

[00:27:10]That would have been so troll. I kind of wish it happened now. Even though I want Elmo to win, it would be just so funny, right? because like it's just been not happening the whole time. And it's like surely now there's no chance, right? And then the Synindori goes like, "Are you really sure?" Punk.

[00:27:28]All right. Don't hit the Titus, please.

[00:27:30]That's all we're asking. Anything but the Titus. Even the ring guy is like fine. Oh, the left fish. That is uh absolutely GG.

[00:27:41]Hitting the left fish. It's like, oh my god, it's over on so many levels.

[00:27:46]Yep. We have 1.8 to die there. Yeah.

[00:27:49]Opponent goes first with straight shots, kills the nightbane, and then gets the god hits where he snipes the Titus and then you die. Wow, that would be so that would be so annoying.

[00:28:02]All right, here we go, baby.
