The arena grandmasters i had been watching (trump and a few another guys i don't remember, but have an amazing record, all with MTG experience tho) always do deep runs with them. | ||

TotalBiscuit is Grandmaster with his warlock deck, but I don't think he streams it. John Slush ( the guy at Blizzard from IPL ) is good too I've hear. Most other streams I've watched were facepalm worthy too. | ||

Reckful: Fun stream, lots of viewer interaction and fun attitude. Tries hard to understand the game but is low quality skill atm. Possibly good if you're really new to card games. Kripp: This guy is fun to watch really just because of the fails. He has quite an obnoxious personality but it's quite endearing, he definitely doesn't take himself too seriously. He is ok at the game but has a very bad case of tunnel vision gameplay syndrome and is constantly moaning about opponent draws/imbalances. I'll say low skill atm but will probably improve quickly if he becomes more objective and spends some time researching instead of just spamming games and complaining. Towlliee: Pure casual mode, constantly making mistakes and laughing them off. Put this on if you just wanna chillax and not engage the brain. Trump: Probably the best player, out of the 6 times I've watched him arena he has gotten 9 wins 5 times I think. He takes his losses well and often explains why the chat's suggestion are retarded, what his and his opponent's strats and lucky or unlucky draws are. He certainly turns the nerd factor up to 11 though, which is actually kinda refreshing from a lot of tough/cool guy streamers. Here's a vod of him from yesterday playing a pro MTG player. http://www.twitch.tv/trumpsc/b/449255395?t=642m Also there's a vod of him on reddit form yesterday where he got a bugged card that should have died but didn't, and after that turn he didn't play it but still won. | ||

He seems very good, but i often disagree with his drafts, which is why i asked for others. He often doesnt respect spells and also, he lost quite some games when i watched because he had only like 2 taunts in his deck. Just very focused on trading cards at all times. But other than that, it was by far my favourite stream and the stream i learned the most, was just curious if there are similar ones. | ||

Maybe Trump isn't the one undervaluing cards, maybe you're the one overvalueing them  | ||

Hopefully as the game develops with the arena ladder system or whatever it will become obvious which players are actually good and the streamers who are good but don't get any views will get more publicity. | ||

Everytime I see those people waiting the last second to play, I feel like the Nozdormu card would just fuck them up hard. << | ||

Kripp is def one of the best players streaming right now. Have to agree Trump is really amazing at this game as well and Locodoco. Kripp has actually gone 9-0 in arena and has most classes at 9wins in arena alrdy. He can make some mistakes but that's usually a minimum. I find the best streamers to be the ones with the least interaction with viewers, and that's a good thing. Twitch chat watching hearthstone is so horrible, you wish it was TI3 chat instead. | ||
