Naxx + BRM + Some packs of each (Classic and GvG).
I'm just bummed out that Blizzard didn't at least change some basic cards to fit the flavor of the hero. Even just a single card or two. Especially since this "feature" has been in development for over 1,5 years.
Edit:
Just looking at the starting cards for the three classes that could be changed:
Warrior: Fiery War Axe (change it to a Hammer)
Mage: Fireball (change it to a purple arcane bolt)
Hunter: Houndmaster (change it to a High-Elf)
I mean come on Blizzard.
Played against a Medivh for the first time the other day. I was not expecting the cawing and feathers and the start, lol.
I still insta-muted him though, as with everyone. :|
EDIT: They should at make his hero power icon a purple arcane bolt to go with the alternate animation.

Ah, I don't blame you. I've been really close to buying Magni a few times but I'm trying to hold out until they reveal all the heroes.
How so? One pack a week is nothing when you consider they give away 40 gold minimum every day. Plus they look to be experimenting with TB rewards to maybe even include dust.
You're the worst but if the images went on sale I'd by them in a heartbeat. I really would love to play as the new warrior, druid, and priest.
In case you didn't realize , we don't get a new one at the end of this one. They go active on Wednesdays each time.
Would be nice to have stats that mean something or are worth getting to be sure.
I noticed in this brawl that the friend challenges actually work towards quests. I had the 100 gold 7 win one and noticed it ticked up when my friend conceded asap, so you could actually farm most quests if it uses the actual playable classes.
I imagine blizzard will change that at some point, but eh.

The 100 gold quest was always the most lenient quest. You can even complete it facing the innkeeper.

We get a new Brawl on Wednesday, right? Trying to remember when stuff changes.
Won 2 games with Mech Hunter and bought a pack
My first Gold Legend. And the narrator says, "Whaaaaat!? GOLD LEGENDARY!" That's awesome xD

I just struggled through a 5 Paladin wins quest and bought a GvG pack with the rewards. I got a pretty good pack, but this is the fourth god damn Wee Spellstopper I've pulled. And it's golden, no less. At least Tree of Life was new.
Stealth-Change that came with the last patch.
U jelly?
I hope you spammed 'Greetings' untill he left.

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?
Seriously???
Seriously.

They appear in casual too.
The fact you need to play ranked in order to get it doesn't mean you only see them in ranked mode
It only further illustrates how stupid that is.
Aww yeah. 12-2 arena run yesterday. A Warrior deck of all things. It was a really average deck. Weapons were the only thing that allowed me to get ahead in all of my games, I had 5 in total and an Upgrade. Both of my losses came against mages that seemed to have unlimited water elementals. Fun run.
Rewards were 2 packs, 285 gold, and a golden mad bomber.

Been in love with a Control pally deck lately. Playing control/mid-range matchups is so much more enjoyable than all of the rush decks. The back and forth strategy and using all of your deck just feels so enjoyable.
I understand why people play face hunter and pure aggro decks but I really wish it wasn't so strong in the current meta. It impacts my feeling for the quality of the game when I lose strictly because I didn't draw specific cards in the first three turns. I understand it is part of the game and helps the newbie players, just my little rant appreciation for the way the game is progressing with decks but still deals with aggro.

Have you guys played Prismata?
It's like Starcraft meets card battle games like Hearthstone/Magic.
It's pretty cool because everyone has the same deck with special randomized "units" that the other player also gets. But you guys both build up economy and resources to play special cards.
I pretty much like it because it has zero RNG, which I found interesting compared to Hearthstone. I'm kind of looking for more card games on the internet, but it seems Hearthstone is really the king.
Interesting how there are more now, like that Bethesda TES game.

Does anyone play a priest deck? I took the standard control deck and tweaked it slightly. I like being able to control the other opinions minions. I am thinking of swamping out shrinkmeister since he doesn't seem to do much.
I run a Priest deck that has some similarities to your deck. I actually just uploaded a video of the NeoGAF Hearthstone Tournament which shows me running the deck three times, it might be worth a look/to skip around a bit and see what's up. I try to explain some of my plays throughout.
Here's the decklist:
There will probably be an infographic released after several brawls.
You're matched against other players with the same number of wins - similar to arena.
I loved Tavern Brawl. Even with the iffy balance it was a lot of fun.
Lost to a Nef on turn three who coined into Vael, hero powered an unstable portal, unstable portal into the high mage, then cast fireball 4 times with another couple in his hand for turn four. I aint even mad. Just kidding I was super mad but it's still pretty funny.

One step closer to golden cards in Arena.
That is low, then again is amaz so no fucks were given as well.My friend just destroyed Amaz on stream in Arena while I was spectating/coaching him:
It literally just happened 5 minutes ago on his stream.
Sniperinos were done. And not a single fuck was given!
Please tell me that Spellbreaker wasn't your call.

He wanted to finish the game fast and BM as well. Could've easily killed the Cultmaster with just Auchenai + ping.
But we knew it didn't matter because he didn't have much in hand. #scumbagplays
Now we need gold cards in arena.
