I wouldn't say so, not unless you like having your hand flooded with bananas and you end up watching your deck burn.

Demonlock is what I used to win in one try for me.

Has anyone tried Gazlowe in this mode? I'd imagine him to be pretty sweet. :V

otherwise,
2x Mana Wyrm
2x Sorc's apprentice
2x Flamewaker
2x Violet Teacher
2x Dragonkin Sorcerer (or I would, if I had the final wing yet :v )

Rest of the deck is little shit minions like Haunted Creepers (and holy crap mirror image) (also, owls) and removal. Works just as well as you'd expect. :derp:

Don't have that one either.

Using a Shadow Madness Priest with extra Divine Spirit/Inner Fire bolted on. The plays with SW:D and bananas. Oh, and all the troggs (except the legendary, since I don't have it).

EXACTLY.

Then you just feed Cho every single Banana and lay the Chodown. After all; if everyone's hand is full of bananas thanks to Cho; Cho wins. Bonus points when the enemy knows he's doomed and feeds your Cho bananas too.

a mage got a kezan mystic from an unstable to kill me

it was literally the only card they could of gotten to win

what the fuck

Not too invested in this week's brawl, but one suggestion is add Mountain Giants as a cheap big drop.

Iryan · « **Reply #550 on:** June 26, 2015, 08:06:29 PM »

First time twelve wins, babyyyyyy!~~~ :]

Uther ftw. I know mage is supposed to be the king of arena, but my overall best performance on average is with Uther. Plus I like his emotes.

Rewards were a golden common, 330 gold + 1 card pack.

I currently have a Mage area with 3 Fireballs and Dr.Boom. I guess I was due him; after facing him like 10 times in arena.

I'm only playing it when I have a Mage mission however. I actually lost a game because the game gave me almost nothing but high drops. So I can get rushed down.

Use minions? Pah. REAL Warriors do their own dirty work.

Yeah, I know, essentially a face deck. But it's fun if only for the shock value :3

Raikaria · « **Reply #555 on:** July 01, 2015, 09:33:32 PM »

You know that Hunter Naxx Class Challenge?

Now you can pick your class; get ~10 random spells of that class on top of ~20 Spinners [This is an estimate; it's somewhere between 5 and 10]; and play against another person.

Warrior kinda obviously gets the short end of the stick here. All these 'damaged minion' or 'deal 1 damage' spells... which don't work on webspinners. And no weapons. Priest is a close 2nd; since stealing is pointless usually. Everyone else is actually pretty even; even Hunter.

4-0 with Freeze Mage
Easiest Brawl of my life

Raikaria · « **Reply #557 on:** July 08, 2015, 09:27:56 PM »

Honestly? Only time I've lost to a Mage in this Brawl is when they got a topdeck Pyroblast into Deathwing.

I've lost against every Druid however. Too much boardclear and generally good spells; and Tree of Life is a free 9 drop... which is probably something absurd like Ysera. But what really makes Druids a pain is stuff like Coin Power of the Wild for +1/+1 to start the gasme with a 0 and 2 drop with +1/+1. Or 3 minions. Then you start spamming Wraths and Swipes and Bites and Starfall and Starfires and Nourish for more cards and... you get the idea. And then you die to Savage Roar.

I had some success with Warlock [Shadowflame Voidwalker into Dread Infernal and 4 drop; Siphon Soul and get a 6 drop. Ect]; but I'm doing quite well with Hunter. A lot of people are spamming low cost spells so if I go face and play Explosive Traps and Misdirections it tends to do wonders.

Also Cobra Shot isn't absolute garbage. 5 cost 'summon a random 5 drop and deal 3 damage to face and minion'. is passable :V. That and Cobra Shot is actually a Hunter's highest manacost spell. [The other option being Explosive Shot]

Worth noting I've not seen anyone [besides me] playing Warlock; Hunter or Warrior. I have seen a Shaman. It lost to my Hunter.

And let's face it. Warrior is autogimped in any spell-heavy gamemode. I think his highest manacost spell is Brawl... which then immediately throws your summon into said brawl anyway. Well; there's Crush; but the thing is you get a summon based on the mana you paid; not the base cost. So that dosen't count. Also Warrior has such great synergies and playing Whirlwind; summoning a 1HP minion and immediately killing it off.

Which leads to things like playing a Loatheb'd Explosive Trap and getting Malorne.

Also if you wanna laugh at mages in this mode; go Preist. Steal their 10 mana minion and get another one for yourself with MC; and clear out their trashspam with Novas and Shadow Madness. Flamewakers are great SW:P.

That's just idiots trying to make a specific deck for this. I'm playing actual freeze mage :V
Although I should stop trying for the gimmicky infinite fireball works and put some molten giants in here

Raikaria · « **Reply #559 on:** July 08, 2015, 10:16:50 PM »

Well I switched to Druid and I've not lost a game yet.

Highlight was Nozdormu from Tree of Life vs Mage who couldn't play fast enough :V Said game had me hit Fatigue on the last turn. That's how much boardclear there was. Also Savagery is surprisingly useful because Counterspells; and you should be running Bite and Claw in your Druids here; and 4 damage for 1 mana isn't bad.

Also; I pulled Thaurissan from a Starfire. I think this actually hurt me more than it helped [I had an 8 mana Tree in my hand but I wanted to roll for Ysera or something].

And I don't even have Force of Nature. So I'm lacking 6 drops I should have.

My first two games were as warrior and I won those. Cards like Battle Rage and Shield Block are pretty great for the mode actually. I'd agree that it is one of the weaker classes, but given how much randomness is in the summons themselves, you can win with any class.

Have tried all clases except mage and warlock so far. Usually went with a 28 spells + 2x Auctioneer deck, and that worked out just fine. Out of the ones I have played, druid and priest seemed strongest so far.

New Brawl is out.

- Choose a class
- Get a deck of 15 neutrals and 15 class cards; ignoring limits [So you can have 3 of a card or 2 of a legendary]
FIIIGHT

So you gotta be ready for class legends since the odds are pretty good they have at least 1. I'm finding Shaman pretty good here; since the number of 'weak' spells they have is... Totemic Might, and they are less likly to get screwed by curve [Their only class cards above 5 mana are Fire Elly; Earth Elly; Neptunelon and Al'akir] Shamans also generally have pretty good class minions, with Fire Elemental fighting with Highmane for 'Most OP non-legendary in the game'.

I have been screwed by curve however. Losing Turn 5 to a Paladin who doubler King'ed a Tauren Warrior sucks.

qMyon · « **Reply #566 on:** July 17, 2015, 12:20:29 PM »

Tavern Brawl has been.....interesting. Just came out of a match where I had 5 Flamestrikes in my deck, plus a Pyroblast. Poor Rogue.......and after he used a Sabotage on my Ysera too.

Edit:
Galaxy Gifts cardback +3 packs is out. To emulate or not to emulate.......

Raikaria · « **Reply #569 on:** July 22, 2015, 08:22:34 PM »

Nah; worst Brawl is this one; Pay 2 Win.

Or Priest 2 Win.

I had a particually dumb foe who played Ysera into my Chromaggius. Chromaggius duplicated Mind Control; and I MC'ed Ysera.

That's not the dumb part. The dumb part is that; knowing I had a 2nd MC; he proceeds to play... Kel'Thuzad.
