However, there is no way they can keep up with this quality from week to week. Pumping out new cards for 5 days seems a bit extreme, so weeks like this will probably be rare.

There is a number of naxx only cards / Beta cards / tutorial cards that can still be used.

Fun mode, and I'm excited to see what they do with it each week.

The 2 mana random free spell can just end the game, but it's entertaining. Got two mind controls last game

I had a comeback vs my brother when my rag hero power ignored his face and his 6 token whelps to hit his vaeltraz that would have been lethal.

Many rematches were demanded. Very fun to play with friends, I am genuinely impressed with this mode now.

Well, Without achievements or any incentive to play past the first 10 - fun games - this doesnt feel that great. If there was at least some sort of - win 500 games in the tavern brawl mode - gain a cardback or golden card.

Im glad others are enjoying it though!

I think that tavern brawl worked much better with friends than against strangers. Particularly after a day or two when people learnt the decks and what would happen, at which point most of my games ended in two or three turns with somebody conceding. I enjoyed the first handful of games I played though and will see what the new brawl is on Wednesday.

You also drew Vaelstraz instantly every time you played Nef. It was pretty clear who the RNG gods favored.

Now that its been out for a few variations I love it. Really helps mix it up from time to time, and I blow through the Dailies so much faster in the Tavern Brawls. Gold is up, a pack a week, and some variety. Well done Blizz.

The current one is a big pile of shit if don't have a big bunch of legendary cards...
I hope to find a good deck for it, but my hope is too little.

Only played a few but it seems if you open with KT you have a major advantage. A lot of games seem won on the second or third turn if you have a good KT turn. Running some silences and hard removal is good. Seen some miracle rogue and bloodlust shaman. It is nice for the dailies

This week's brawl is laughably terrible. The two prevailing strategies of either spamming legendary minions or doing ridiculous burst combos are painfully obvious. As people have said most games are over in the first few turns. It rewards having money for cards more so than having any kind of skill, I won my game, got my pack, and likely won't be playing any more of it this week.

For those complaining about not having legends to spam, a word of advice. Play auctioneer. You do not need expensive legendaries to win in this mode. At all.

Ever stole, rezzed, and turned a nefarian into a 32/32 on turn 3 and attacked with it? I have.

Ever drawn 20 cards by turn 2? I have.

Ever raced a dude who turn one alex'd you? I have. Twice.

It feels like I'm playing type 1/vintage format magic again, and it is amazing.

EDIT: Here's a cheap mage and a cheap priest. You can also add in annoy-o-trons, because those things are incredible in this format. Loatheb also makes for fantastic anti-miracle tech.

It's apparently gotten a few wins, and is totally f2p. You might be able to put something similar together using bloodlust or savage roar in shaman/druid. I'm thinking they might work better due to having a card that just does an enormous burst of damage with a full board. Shaman might be especially solid since you have hex, earth shock, and whirling zapomatic. Definitely include annoyotrons though, since they will probably buy you the setup time you'll need.

I dueled one of my friend. This was his perspective.

I won the game eventually (Turn 1 Ysera+Azure Drake against a priest is sick!)

How to win this game mode with no cards:

Play priest, mulligan for mind controls. MC something big, wait for concede.

1 game played, MC on turn 2, opponent forfeits, easiest pack in my life and now I don't need to play this brawl anymore.

People are still not seeing how this plays out. Nobody is playing AOEs so Zoo is really powerful. I don't mean full zoo but zoolock with every card 2 manas higher so you can play 3 things every turn and just break down the enemy with taps and board.

Also I went 3-0 with bloodlust shaman just because nobody could kill the totems well without AOEs and its really easy to kill single large cards as shaman.
