WHY do they keep giving Kripp reveal streams?

Kibler and Allie are much more ~bubbly~ and enthusiastic. Someone must really have a fetish for flat-affect delivery and 'surprise' that only causes his voice to rise a quarter-octave.

Agreed, for this first time since... whenever I started playing or they started doing reveal streams, I didn't watch. Not because the set doesn't look interesting (it's super exciting looking) but I wanted to wait and read them later instead of watch Kripp.

I think Kripp does a fine job and they are probably really comfortable with working with him, but it would be great to see them boost some of the smaller streamer personalities or even some of their GM players. There are dozens of cool people who they could get that aren't just swapping back and forth between Kripp or Kibler, especially doing this remotely.

I stopped watching Kripp when he went all in on battlegrounds, which my interest in cratered since they started charging 20 bucks.

I miss arena kripp.

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
Kripp and Kibler are the only two streamers who really fit in with the vibe of the reveal streams, can instantly talk about possibilities of a card immediately after seeing it, and can be counted on to be professional. I guess Trump could fit the bill, but he is barely a streamer these days, let alone a Hearthstone streamer. Allie is fine, but she can't just go off on a tangent theorycrafting.

They could try going with the Zalae/Firebat crowd, but I bet they are reluctant since those guys are still actively playing on the competitive scene.

Trump got a card reveal and had an entertaining video analyzing it. He should absolutely be on the same level of consideration as Kripp. His brand of enthusiastic cringe is way more appropriate for an hour+ long hype stream.

But I suppose he's too busy focusing on re-election.

idk if youve seen trump live but he’s honestly one of the most boring and low energy people to watch and it’s a miracle that his video editor manages to make him so watchable

Since they had to do this all remote anyway, I think they dropped the ball by not showcasing their GMs a little. Why not have a show match using some Blizz created decks between, for example, Thijs and Firebat? Have them talk up the cards while they're playing. Kripp bores me.

This is impossible to answer with such a vague question. What deck are you playing? What decks are your opponent's playing?

I have been playing murloc paladin, true paladin and tempo demon hunter. Went up against a mix of top decks. Maybe I just had a bad run.

Only Kripp an Kibler is a bit of a stretch. Off the top of my head Regis Kilbin and Dekkster would be so much better than Kripp. Trump would be a disaster.

This expansion is probably the nail in the coffin for the Arena. Still waiting to see what their Phase 2 'New Game Mode' will be, and if it can be a worthwhile replacement.

Actually I think I would prefer that Hobbs guy who just slams Cho into every deck imaginable he's adorable.

Amaz, thijs, etc are insufferable. Regis and Dekkster are okay but they never seem to actually create the decks or see potential on their own like Kibler and Kripp do.

I have, and he is. But he's much better when interacting with another person, and you can count on him to give his opinion on every card's value. Even if that evaluation is completely off.

I love Dane's videos but he'd probably just zero in on one card and spend the whole reveal stream talking about Rogue or Druid combos.

I also really like Chump but if you think Kripp is low energy he'd probably put you in a coma.

I think Twilight Runner is one of the most broken cards in this expansion.



A 5/4 stealth beast, which is already almost playable by itself, with an almost guaranteed 2 draw? Crazy, especially in arena.

Speaking of draw Cram Session is really good too but it requires a specific type of deck

I think Dane will have a lot of fun with this expansion - he doesn't only do rogue and druid combos.

The problem is there is a lot of anti-combo stuff being added that might throw a wrench into things.
