The entire design of Dr Boom’s Scheme disallowed it from ever being balanced. It either is not enough armor worth spending the mana on no matter what it cost (which is most cases), or so much armor it becomes too oppressive and would get nerfed anyways.

If it started off at 7-10 armor I think it would be fine. I remember the old Warrior Boom Hero Stall decks. Let's say you draw it when you are down to 10 cards. A few turns pass and you used Archivist Elysiana. Next turn or so gaining 17-ish armor for 4 mana would be pretty good. I miss when Hearrhstone had stall decks.

@@alexandrumarin8981 But let’s say it’s in your opening hand. If you last to turn 20 (which control Warriors tend to do), it’s basically a Reno Jackson Battlecry, but you can do it at full Health too since it’s Armor. It’s these situations that should be avoided, because stall decks are one of the most hated types of decks to play against since their goal isn’t to win, it’s to wait for your opponent to lose. And games against those kinds of strategies take such a long time to finish.

These videos are weird to watch since it's so obvious he has never played hearthstone before. A lot of the information is on point, but sometines it's unclear if he's talking about a past standard metagame or current wild meta. Some of the information is a bit off, for example the comment about recycle seeing play at 4 mana, which is just so wrong when you have so many good armor options like ferocious howl and branching paths, a 4 mana full boardclear in poison seeds and 1 mana single target removal in naturalize. Hell, you even have mulch, which is a terrible card but still better than 4 mana recycle. Other stuff is also a bit weird, like suggesting void contract at 4 mana???!!!?? Excuse me, please the fuck no. That card was always meant to be niche and just there incase a control warlock deck needed it in a specific metagame. Void contract coming down early every game fundementally breaks almost all non aggro decks that still see play. The card was meant to be niche and bad, let it.

For example tree of life for druid instead of recycle, or the 6 mana card that summon 3 webspinners for hunter edit: and ancestral healing, i might be wrong but i think its not that bad.

It's tough to have just 1 pick for each class, For mage Glacial Mysteries could be the worst spell, not only cost does it cost 8 mana and you also must build a deck with enough secrets for it, even if Shatter is powercrept by other mage cards, at least is easier to just throw it in a mage deck and get value from it than Glacial Mysteries For Hunter, one coming to mind is Cobra shot, extremely overcosted for 5 mana, Corrosive Breath got the same effect for dragon hunter but only cost 2 mana (even in the worst scenario where you don't have a dragon in hand, you can still hero power to almost get the same effect as cobra shot), Explorer's hat is still an alright pick for worst Hunter spell

I disagree with the pick for Druid. Recycle is terrible, but I think there are several worse cards: - Gift of the Wild, an 8 mana spell that gives friendly minions +2/+2 and Taunt. Horrifically slow and completely outclassed by Savage Roar, a three-mana spell. - Webweave, a 5 mana spell that summons two 1/2 Poisonous spiders. It's supposed to be removal, but is glacially slow and dies to anything. - Savagery, a 1 mana spell that deals damage to a minion equal to your hero's attack. Most of Druid's hero attack cards are underpowered, so you really don't want to run such a situational card with them. - Dark Wispers, a 6 mana spell that either gives a minion +5/+5 and Taunt or summons 5 1/1 Wisps. Both effects are hilariously under par for 6 mana. It was cool back when it was bugged and could target your hero for a permanent attack buff, but its intended effect is a joke. - Astral Communion, a 4 mana spell that gives you ten mana crystals but discards your hand. If you don't draw this with Innervates on turn 1, it's awful. Druid has so many ways to accelerate mana that don't put them in topdeck mode. This card was a meme even back in TGT, and it's completely unplayable now.

It also acts a mana sink when you don't have anything else to play. Sometimes around 7 mana while your waiting to get Malygos it's a nice thing to spend mana on.

Dr. Booms Scheme could have been "Destroy X damaged enemy minions. (Upgrades each turn)" and would have been a great addition to control warrior, and would have a cap on the value it would provide, leading to a much more playable card. Not sure about balance, but it would be much more impactful and honestly much more in flavor than the garbage that got printed.

I think this is an interesting style of video taking 1 card from each class. My personal top 10: Druid: Yeah recycle is terrible, but there's a much worse druid spell- Tree of Life. It costs NINE mana, meaning you have to spend your entire turn to play it, and it your opponent gets all the benefit as well as you at no cost to them. The only use for it is if you somehow manage to generate Auchenai Soulpriest and force a draw. Priest: I wouldn't say Purify is even a bad card since Silence Priest is a thing. IMO the worst spell for priest is Surrender to Madness. The upside is pretty alright, but the downside usually straight-up loses you the game. Hunter: Explorer's hat is definitely up there, but IMO Ball of Spiders is in a different tier of bad. It summons 3 minions that are worth 1 mana each... FOR 6 MANA. It has NEVER seen serious play and for good reason. In a class that can close out games very quickly with a lot of tempo, it has such bad tempo it's usually never worth running. Rogue: IMO, you got this one right. Headcrack is awful for all the reasons you mentioned. It's a hunter hero power, which would be worth 0 mana on a collectible card, for 3 mana with the only upside being that it conditionally adds a copy of itself to your hand. In the newest set, mage got Frozen Touch which is in my opinion just an infinitely better version of headcrack, which isn't even used that much. Warlock: Again, you're right here. Void contract is hot garbage. Even in Mecha'thun decks, where the win condition that DESTROYS THE ENEMY HERO requires you to run out of cards, it doesn't see play. Although I would never want it to be a competitively viable card. Keep it a funny meme, please. Paladin: I can't really think of any worse card, so yep, Holy Light. Just does not see play. Mage: Although Glacial Mysteries and Greater Arcane Missiles are debatably worse, and they're close, I think shatter is still the worse. Powercrept out of existence, never even good, the card has no reason to exist other than to make Wild Packs slightly worse. Demon Hunter: Yeah it's blur. Pretty boring card but pretty bad. You could argue Soul Split used to be worse but Demon Hunter can actually play control now. It just takes up a deck space for what? Shaman: A few spells are close like Primal Infusion, but yeah Ancestral Healing is very bad. It costs ZERO mana and it's effect still sucks for the mana price. It would have to give you mana to start seeing play (mostly cause innervate still sees play and old lightning bloom was kind of busted) Warrior: This is a no brainer. Dr. Booms Scheme is definitely within the top 3 worst cards ever printed. No deadly arsenal is not worse (although it is garbage). Warrior has a 1 Mana spell that gives you 5 armor unconditionally, meaning you have to hold it in your hand for FOUR TURNS to be A QUADRUPLE COSTED ONE MANA SPELL. A four mana armor spell would probably need to give you 10 armor, meaning to get your mana's worth you would need to hold it for nine whole turns, and at that point you're late enough in the game where armor doesn't matter unless you're taking the opponent into fatigue.

Granted, Ancestral is still a really, really terrible niche card since Taunt usually protects your face more than other minions, and Shaman has a dozen better removal cards Also there aren't that many other Shaman spells on roughly the same level of niche uselessness (Totemic Might would've been the clear winner if this were a few years ago but then Totems got actual synergy, so it at least has a deck where it provides reliable utility while Ancestral Healing doesn't)

Purify is by no means a bad spell. There are tons of cards in hearthstone you would NEVER play, that are objectively bad to have in your deck. Purify fills a very specific niche, it is only good for silence priest, that is it. But I seriously disagree with a card being considered the worst when it explicitly has a deck it's designed for that functions well enough. Cards like surrender to madness having literally no deck that functioned with it would fit the "worst priest spell" much better
