For the same reason he has that shaman spell.
I posted a screen earlier and that's usually how my games as nef look like.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
hahahahah

Only played one match but won as Ragnaros. Seems like an alright mode. I'm just glad it's something different. I'll probably play it more soon.
Rag is moderately consistent. You mull for early game, make smart trades, take strategic face damage and then control the board.
Nef is just balls out bullshit coinflips all day errday LAWD SAVE ME, RNJESUS HALLOWED BE THY TOPDICKS.

In being miserable.
I've had more success as Rag than Nef.
Sometimes a Nefarian player does something stupid like T2 Consort -> T3 Vaelstrasza -> T4 Cromaggus and there's nothing you can do about it.
But sometimes they get Totemic Might and Snipe from their hero power and you just laugh your way to 8 damage to the face.
Just started with two of the 2 mana 6/6 taunts and still got destroyd. That guy got Divine Spirit on his fucking 4 mana 7/7 and than Blesaing of Kings on the 2/8 that gets +2 for each card I play. I conceded... Not even that light bomb 5 damage thing would have done anything.
Getting a 5-drop into 6-drop is pretty common as nef and usually guarantees a win.

the flames of sulfuron are tasty
As Nef you basically just have to dodge stuff like Brawl, that Corruption minions and a couple of other board clears. Once you do, you basically hold on to your Onyxia/2/2 for 8 mana for when the Rag ability comes up. If Rag's hero ability starts hitting the 1/1s or 2/2s the game is done.

legit in the 10 or so games ive played, the only time ive seen rag win was when i insta conceded as nef so i could try to play rag again
oh also the time i had a nef insta concede to me, probably for the same reason

I'm starting to like Druid. Got everything for turn 1 yeti against a facehunter with Alleria portrait and rushed her down.
And made two matches in tavern brawl. First with Rag was a disaster. So many useless stuff. Second one I played as Nefarian and opponent insta-conceded. Got the pack but there was nothing useful in it. Are there more rewards if I win more matches in tavern brawl?

Wow, I could not be more disappointed with Tavern Brawl. Whoever called the mode a coin flip simulator is 100% correct. Also, there absolutely needs to be some kind of reward structure outside of getting one pack for a win. This is looking like something people will play for their one win/pack a week once the newness wears off unless things change

I think they just picked a very bad first scenario for Tavern Brawl. Should have either included more bosses randomly or just let people pick. Nef vs Nef would be way better than Rag.
Nef has some crazy PvE minions too.
Nef has Velenstrasz which makes everything in your hand cost 3 less.
He has that 4/12 that increases damage of all your minions after every turn (this card with the board full of 2/2 or Onyxia is pretty much GG).
He has some value minions like a 7/7 for 4 mana.
All of those $10 portraits are paying for this!

Even if you got to pick, what's the carrot on a stick to keep playing that mode?
Do you stop playing as soon as there is no carrot? I suspect tons of people play casual mode, for instance, just for fun.
I'm less concerned with there being a bigger carrot and more concerned with the mode being more fun.
Won my first and only game, hopefully next week is something more fun.

Just had a nef heal me for about 45 health when he had lethal on the board. New mode is fun.
So after 15 games or so, this has been my experience...
If you are playing a noob as Nef, Rag can win.
If you are playing an experienced player as Nef but they get some shitty RNG, Rag can win.
If you are playing an experienced player as Nef and they get just decent RNG, Rag loses.

I think the main problem with the mode being free and having no reward structure for winning is that people just concede if they get bad draws or don't get the hero they want. This will be more of a problem for preset weeks, I think. Hopefully the deck building weeks will be better.

Flamestrike was fairly key for me winning both my games as Rag.
