Druid mill auto-wins vs that right? My rough counter list I came up with was something like Pally Heal >> Mage fatigue (burn + iceblock) >> minion aggro > druid mill > innervate + big guy (yshaarj). Pally healing auto-wins vs mind blast/heal, soulfire + fist, upgrade + shieldblock but loses to any aggro. I imagine upgrade + shieldblock counters aggro minions.

I haven't seen anyone post this yet and I have had very positive results with it.

Doomsayer and Hammer of Wrath

The only decks I have lost to are the ice block fireball/ice lance/torch decks or a y'shaarj deck that gets to play one it can coin out on turn 1

This brawl has a very surprising meta to it. The rock paper scissors aspect of it makes it quite interesting.

I would like to see this brawl extended!

This is what brawls should be. Make everyone think, and create a temporary fun meta.

I found innervate/coldlight the most fun, and iceblock/fireball the most effective.

I'm playing on the Chinese client, so for the first game I misread the text, and believed each player only got 2 cards total (and presumed we started at fatigue or something). I thought I was being really clever with my Sylvanas pick, and predictably died instantly to mechwarper.

I don't see why people are so happy about this brawl. Perhaps because by the I got to play and experiment, almost all of my opponents were playing either Mechwarper + Metaltooth Leaper or Mana Wyrm + Arcane Missiles. I had one game against Innervate + Ysaarj and one against Armorsmith + Whirlwind. I think people are using this brawl to grind gold. This brawl feels very rock, paper, scissors like to me.

They are happy because this brawl is way faster games than playing constructed...which is now averaging 10m for most matchups or longer.

Did you know that the vast majority of players play only enough games to do their daily quests like they are hooked on some sort of cocaine? Most people do not want to spend an hour a day just to get their daily gold.

The armor smith + whirlwind seems like the worst possible idea. The only thing it could conceivably work against is the mage fireball + ice block deck (~15*6 = 90, I think warrior could easily reach that and beyond to fatigue the mage).

But how would it work vs anything else? You just die way too fast, or they kill your armorsmiths before they have a chance to do anything. argh.

i have seen a worse one. bash + shield slam. literally no idea what that player was thinking.

btw armor smith + whirlwind should have at least a 99% winrate vs ice block + burn, if you have a full board of armorsmiths then each whirlwind gives you 7*7=49 armor, and you can play 4 whirlwinds for each board of armorsmiths, and you can have in total 2 full boards of armorsmiths + 1 extra armorsmith, so that deck contains something like 396 armor + hero powers. good luck to any burn deck trying to burn through that.

I had some decent success with Innervate and Wisps of the Old Gods.
Going with the coin and drawing all innervates and 2 wisps at the start beats any mechwarper deck.
It also beats mill decks, paladin heal, and many odd combos.

how is that shit possible?

I drew 3 circles of healing and 10 inner fires, six of which were in a row.

Playing on the phone in the bathroom and dropping it into the toilet perhaps?

Frost nova/coldlight seer VS iceblock/fireball is damn trollish and a waste of time when either player doesnt want to resign haha

I think your problem is playing with 2 cards that don't do anything by themselves.

This Tavern Brawl is... interesting.

Sometimes Mechazod just Overclocks like three times in a row and proceeds to spam his Rockets to wipe the whole board turn after turn, feels impossible to win against starts like that.

It would be nice if there were more classes you could play as for this brawl, too.

Cool concept though, I hope to see more fine tuned versions of this at some point. :D

It was all worth it

Mechazod again

I hate this brawl so much.

You can't even use this brawl to clear quests, and you obviously don't get the pack if you play with a friend, so you have to play with randoms. Unfortunately, every partner I've been teamed with so far seems to have never played this brawl, or indeed HS, before.

E.g. Priest partner has 26 attack lightwarden on the board that I just played a shield on. It loses the shield to the Salvo spell. Next turn he fucking trades it, I'm not even kidding. I guess he decided that having a win condition wasn't a good idea. Also, shout out to the guy who coined Millhouse turn 1 - the plays!!!

Seriously, I must've played this 15 times with strangers so far, and literally everyone is trading their 2 attack minions at the first opportunity, as if they simply don't understand the format.

I'm pretty sure you can do priest and paladin quests with this Brawl.

Had an open priest quest - it does. And actually two guys in a row that understood the principle, we won the 2nd round.

Yesterday I had one guy leave early, and that counted as a win for me as well, and gave a pack.

edit: And muha, had a Cho and Mukla, plus coin, my priest 'opponent' had millhouse. He actually overdrew me
