TGT will only slow the format down if people play decks specifically to hard counter aggro decks. Enough people do that, the meta changes. The tools are there, people just want to play their own decks. | ||

It doesn't really change how boring the games are. I like having to decide on what to play or play around what he's doing etc. In these fast games there's none of that. It's answer threat and hope you draw your tech. If you do it may still not matter anyway. I think the defensive options are just too shit in HS compared to offensive. Lack of picking who minions attack is pretty huge. Also the burst damage is pretty disgusting in this game. Gameplan is generally get them to half hp then burst them.

Think bloodlust is really underrated card, especially in a deck designed to have mass tokens/totems. edit: yea I'm done with ladder. Maybe next month it won't be cancerous cesspool. | ||

Now I play a fucking mill rogue that does ambush turn 3 and gets 2 of them proc in following draw, before that had a mech mage that played his whole hand turn 1 lol. Fuck this game. I'm uninstalling this RNG bullshit. It's laughable that people consider this an esport How did he do that? Coin - mech warper - double clockwork gome - what's the 4th card? | ||

Mech warper coin mechwarper clockwork gnome annoy-o-tron. Pretty standard "you have lost this game" opening from mechmage. He followed it up with shredder -> frost bolt -> fireball. Tbh not even that salty about that game. That's just Hearthstone telling you to move on to next game. The rogue one was worse. It was like 4/22*3/21*2/20 chance of him getting 3 in a row. Then his boom bot hits my face for 4 which was like 1/6*1/4 and then he uses burgely or whatever it's called which gives him a gorehowl for exact lethal. That's like 1/30 or something. Pretty sure Blizzard is telling me to stop playing the game at this point. | ||

I dunno, people are happy with random decks ('cause they can see new cards, as otherwise go and press "suggestion" 30 times then load up casual mode and tell how fun it is), but Blizzard announced the mode with a new variation each week, people expected some repetition after awhile 'cause it's normal to run out of fresh ideas... then they start recycling barely 6 brawls in. The first time, well, "TGT's coming out so they're putting time aside to release a TGT-themed brawl!" and now "it's the same as the first one but it has TGT cards so it's justified!" Waiting for next wednesday to see if we're going to have the 3rd recycling in a row and what excuse people will find to say Tavern Brawl is amazing this time. "Fully random deck!" "Minions summon random minions!" "Spells summon random minions!" Wow, colour me amazed, such inspiration, such deck-building incentive (well the "summon another minion" had some metagaming going on because everyone wanted to put huge minions in theirs for value so you'd put together an aggro deck to counter them, but apart from that...). | ||

But brawls where the randomness isn't even slightly interesting is just bleh. | ||

Well... in my case add the context of a "win 5 brawls" quest. With the current brawl it feels like a chore more than anything else and I'm just hoping to get it over with quickly because my wins were just some kind of consistency while my losses were shitty draws or bullshit RNG in what my opponent draws (the kinda Numy talked about with the Gorehowl for exact lethal), so it's not really fun. | ||

I've liked a few of the Random Brawls (the minion/spell summoning ones were interesting), but it's the utter lack of the latter that makes the former so awful. The occasional Webspinner/Unstable Portal insanity brawl would be fine if they were separated out by a few "minions must share a keyword" or "only odd numbered cards" type brawls. But brawls where the randomness isn't even slightly interesting is just bleh. I agree. I would like to see more deckbuilding limitation brawls. I also don't have access to like 60% of the TGT cards, so it was nice to see how things played. Sure you didn't get to optimize for those cards or even guarantee the particular ones you want to see are in the deck but for me it was just a whatever brawl where I got some random and then I played ladder for seriousness. | ||

I thought it was going to be a interesting kind of deck building mode with some random wackiness thrown in every now and then. Instead it seems mostly randomness. I guess that fits with how blizzard thinks of Hearthstone though. This week could have been perfect for a "build decks with only TGT cards" brawl where people got the whole collection to work with in the mode to try whatever they wanted. | ||

Which is probably why there are so many "random" brawls. Some players who don't have strong collections probably appreciate the opportunity to mess around with cards they don't have sans the entry fee and pressure of Arena. | ||

As wonderful and helpful as it would be for brawl, Blizzard wants your money. Just do it the week before the XPack actually releases so that it never conflicts with actually buying the expansion (and serves to advertise it in-game for people who don't read previews online). | ||
