10 Times Video Games "Helped" (And Made Everything Worse)

5. Majordomo Executus - Hearthstone

If you played the Blackrock Mountain expansion of Hearthstone first, Majordomo Executus would have likely been your second ever Legendary card in the game. And since Legendary cards are supposed to be the best - and the first Legendary you get, Emperor Thaurissan, is a literal blessing - you'd likely try and put this lizard in your deck.

This is a huge mistake, however, as Majordomo is one of many cards that was intended to be useful, but is actually the tactical equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot before running a marathon.

The card makes your hero into Ragnaros when Executus himself dies. In theory, this is absolutely great, as the big bad fire lord can do eight damage to a random enemy for two mana. However, Ragnaros himself only has eight health, making him pretty fragile compared to your starter heroes beefy thirty health.

As such, poor old Majordomo is pretty much unplayable, as he actively makes your health lower unless you were below eight health to start with - which is low enough the chances of you winning aren't looking so hot anyways.
