Question about the brawl. Does an existing deathrattle get overwritten or will it add it on top?

Aviana seems pretty hard to actually get down on the board, but with the cards that help slow things down, it has some potential.
Obviously it's more of a ramp druid card, and a deck built around that will have a lot of expensive minions for jousting (and presumably taunts to help cover Aviana).
Of course, if you're saving innervates for her, you're not innervating your other stuff first, and eventually people will be saving removal for her.

Nice, those are pretty cool. Aviana will definitely see play, not sure in what kind of Rogue deck Anub'arak fits though.
Also this week's Brawl is more interesting than I thought at first. Deck building matters.
edit: Went with a really expensive mech mage deck, it worked.
My opponent (Shaman) did some interesting stuff too though, lots of effective silences, reincarnate + Baron Rivendare combo's and an Al'Akir.

Well you see when you're running mill rogue and almost out of cards and somehow aren't about to win by decking...

Aviana+Dr. Balanced on Turn 10.
Pls nerf.
Honestly, the value is going to come from getting a bunch of cards on the board immediately after this drops because dropping a 5-5 for 9 mana is horrible.
That's RNG heaven, up there w/ kelthuzad when you have a decent board to trade againt opponent's.

Aviana + Emperor, minions in hand are always 1, no matter how many turns Emperor has been around right?
So to get any value you need to have 1 additional mana over the casting cost, even if it turns to 8, you really can't play it unless you had 9 mana.
Edit: Of course, Aviana for 6 from UP will be annoying, especially if it's Archmage for 1 after it. Still, you need to take care against classes like Paladin and Warrior of dropping your entire arsenal and then losing it all to a board clear.

added on top. Shredder drops two 2 drops. If you have Rivendare, it drops 4. Lil Exorcist activates with these brawl deathrattles just fine as well.
Are you happy Zoukka?
I totally forgot about alarm-o-bot and now we have its first ever potential for constructed.
Turn 1 innervate alarm-o-bot
turn 2 aviana dr boom
opponent concedes

Another Rogue legendary that won't see play.
Druids needed a decent legendary since Malorne is garbage.
I don't think anub arak is that bad actually. It's just that it requires value rogue to be a thing. I imagine a deck that plays this would also play gallywix and burgle and healbots and become sort of... priesty rogue.
I'm not saying that deck will exist but the cards themselves are not outright unplayable. They just don't have a deck to call home yet.

The tryharding really is quite sad considering there's no incentive in winning.
A Tempo Mage can't really leverage it. You UP on turn 2, then you can't play Aviana until turn 6, and THEN still have minions in hand that gets a lot of value out of being costed at 1. Nah.
Winning is fun.
People will run wild growth, panther rider, and maybe even grove tenders to get Aviana out ASAP.
Aviana is a card that other classes can't really benefit from it when it's full mana. Only Druid can play it. If you get it from Burgle or Thoughtsteal, it's really not any good for you.
Mindgames could work, but that's very unlikely to work. And priests don't have too many minions.

But Gallywix is actually a great card that doesn't fit into its class. If Rogue ever gets the tools to play a control game he's an auto-include. Anub'Arak on the other hand is garbage in any deck.
Plus MC doesn't work on it too well either since odds are the druid will have an answer for it as well.
Getting it out of a portal is pretty gross then again the best minon a mage can get from it is Antonidas and boom. Not very good. Aviana certainly saved druid from being a constant savage roar variant.

Kvaldir no longer a legendary? Might see play in Priest, cheaper Injured Blademaster.
Aviana...could be insane? Don't think we have ever seen a card with such a high cost with such low stats. From Unstable Portal = gg fuck you
Anub'arak...nah. I always thought he would be 6 mana 6/3 Battlecry - steal 1 hp from ALL minions, if more then 3 is stolen, gain taunt. Current thing wouldn't be played in Control Warrior and I can't ever see Rogues running a 9 drop, especially not a particularly good one. They would sooner run Ysera.
Good to finally see some more exciting card additions though.

This brawl sucks lol.
5 matches and I've played 3 ramp Druids, a face Hunter and an Eboladin.
Edit: And now a mech Mage. People have no originality.

Yep
This card is too slow for the current oil rogue decks,, maybe if it was 7 mana. I was hoping for a lower curve legendary, this card doesn't appear to fit any current rogue deck. Still it makes me curious what the rest of the rogue cards are, oh aviana is pretty good.So you either spend 2 mana to heal him on your current turn (for a 3 mana 2/3, ew) or you waste a circle of healing on him, or you play him unprotected on turn 1 and hope your opponent can't answer it. I'd rather play chow.
That taunt heavy ramp Druid that runs aviana will probably run several joust cards. Gadgetzan Jouster instead of Zombie Chow. Master Jouster as a better Sunwalker. The deck is so top heavy it benefits from Joust more than any other.
I may have been the face hunter. Sorry. Good news tho. 1 and done win!
I doubt any druids will run zombie chow anymore. The new panther is better in every way.

Yeah he doesn't really work as a 1 drop, won't replace chow unless something new comes up.
I guess he's a good turn 2 revive target
and then he's some sort of backwards harvest golem.Those videos are always labeling all the cards as legendaries even if they aren't.
I'm just making random decks to clear my dailies. First randorogue and now I have to win 5 times as a shaman, so I'll make something with that.
The few Druids cards we have seen are among the better class cards showcased so far.
Savage Combatant is good.
The ramp 2/3 card is amazing.
The Druid of the Saber (Bluegill or Gilbin Stalker) is decent.
The Legendary is potentially insane.
Rogue so far has the worst cards:
The Boulderfist Panda
Burglar
That Poisoned weapon
