right, I just went ahead and see how it works really for the first game testing waters. You need to have something to play everyturn and there are so many spells and secrets that make sense or even usable on the board. I'm going to get creative now... mana wyrms and loatheb will remain in my deck though (and Dr. Boom :b)
Mana Wyrms and Troggs, anything that gets buffed when spells are cast in mine. Also whacked in Cho just to fuck things up, it's only Brawl.

Mana wyrm, flamewaker doesn't seem good since you won't have many cheap spells, Loatheb also may backfire horribly 
Board clears and freeze spells I think will be really good, so everyone will play Mage. This brawl looks like more fun version of 30 unstable portals, I like this kind of RNG more than lame webspinner one from the last week.

The summon is based on the new cost which shouldn't be surprising (see Gazlowe + Sorcerer's Apprentice).
Bwahahaha, I was a bit down on the game after facing some ridiculous arena decks but just when I thought I was out this brawl has dragged me back in.
The guy I was playing got a Millhouse Manastorm summoned from one of his spells.
I killed it triggering his duplicate secret.
He only went and played it.

It gives you the minion of the new cost.
This is why Loatheb isn't very good in this.
If say you cast a Fireball which costs 9 mana, you could get a Ysera for example!
The summon happens before the spell effect is resolved, so I assume it would Vanish. Along those same lines, a summoned Violet Teacher instantly spawns a token; a summoned Wild Pyro instantly deals his 1 damage, etc.
It really is lol. Wild Growth start is amazing too.
Yeah druid seems great for this one.
Faceless Manipulator is a good card to have here.
Lorewalker and Doomsayers everywhere in the last game.
welp, removed.

While that certainly sucks to go 0-3 it isn't like you don't get a reward. Unless you just don't need GvG packs, Arena is some of the most enjoyable matches in the game for me. Only 50 more gold and you still get a back + dust/partial gold back as a worst-case scenario.
If you aren't good at drafting you can always check out heartharena or any of the other tools.
It can't be much effort, even if they wanted to. They have 6 days to put them together each time, which is very short even if the entire team was working on it. Which it isn't, of course. My guess is that there is one or two guys putting these together every 6 days. Yes, these are going to be whacky and imbalanced, and it's probably better to expect that.
All of the art and stuff for them was patched into the client at the first patch though. I am betting they have a slate of them planned out well in advance. They aren't testing them much though.

Nice, my Brawl idea kind of made it through! This will be fun to do dailies in.
Sure, that doesn't really change the basic math. Whether it was organized yesterday or 6 months ago, in all likelihood it was probably put together in about a week and that will likely remain true for a long time. It doesn't make sense to carefully craft and meticulously balance a mode that will be replaced every week. If it even took 2 weeks to put together, the math obviously wouldn't work out long term.

It looks like the minion is summoned first. So I think yes. I saw on Massan's stream that a Questing Adventurer was summoned, then got instantly buffed, and then the spell finished its action.
Week 2 of Archon Team League is about to start up. First match is a battle of the "free agent" teams: Value Town vs Forsen Boys.

I'm going to have to try my Spell/Weapon only Rogue for this. Probably won't work out to well but it should be fun.

If the cost of the spell is reduced do you get a minion for the original cost amount or reduced?
EDIT: Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks!
Reduced. It works in reverse too. Which is why Loatheb sucks in this Brawl.

Used Loatheb, Priest cast Shadow Word: Pain and got Neptulon lol.
