Made what I thought was going to be a complete gimmick deck - 'Elemental Shaman' with as much RP cards as possible. Played 10 games, only lost 1! Here is the deck, definitely recommend trying it out it's super fun especially if you end the game with all 3 Elemental Lords on the field

Could probably make a couple tweaks but want to maintain the use of Elementals for sure.

You're running so many 1-offs that you probably should just make it a Reno deck and replace the duplicate cards.

It was going so well for me with the arenas, it felt great to be immediately in the black right from the start of an account (as in, above 3-3, not talking about infinite). Yesterday I noticed the doc listing streamer arena stats, and I couldn't help but note that my stats aren't that much lower. It was so great...

...and then I got crushed by a 2-3 run.

Damn.

Back in TGT I had a better w/l than ADWCTA for quite some time but take those stats with a huge grain of salt. The sniperonis are real and streamers tend to pick all classes, let polls decide, occasionally make fun drafts to entertain the viewers etc. - when tryharding off-stream their results are much better.

Yeah, I know (and the effect from picking subpar classes is easily seen in the doc, if the streamers ignored one or two classes they'd have it better).

Plus I know where I botched one of my losses, if I didn't do it, I might have won more. The deck was utter crap (on that note, I am stopping using heartharena, looks like I have outgrown it), but I think I could have done better... so, I'll persevere. Challenge accepted, etc, let's get within .5 of Hafu.

Pretty weak explanation from Ben Brode I think. If it's a battlecry, it's a battlecry. Why not make the text precise instead of this weird explanation saying it *is* a battlecry, just not a battlecry?

Did you scroll up on that Twitter thread? Brode's first explanation is a bit better. Basically, the battlecry gives the minion the text of "at the end of this turn, copy this minion". Giving it that text twice doesn't mean it will make two copies, just like giving a minion the text of "Taunt" or "Divine Shield" twice means it has double Taunt or double Divine Shield.

And the reason Echoing Ooze has to have a Battlecry for its effect is because if it was persistent, you'd have Oozes continually spawning at the end of each turn. Which would be hilarious and awesome, but totally overpowered.

 

[bjaelke]

That's one efficient and slightly disgusting way to complete multiple dailies at once.

 

[gutshot]

Demons won the teased Brawl, whatever that means.

Some sort of Demon-themed Tavern Brawl today? Can't imagine we're getting a whole Demon-themed expansion.

 

[FeD.nL]

Designed a warrior card for fun, tried to incorporate the character as much as possible:

+

You can 'use' the battlecry in fun ways because if you summon Lothar without armor he would die instantly thus equipping the weapon which allows you to hit something and build a board. So at the very worst he's going to get you 2 2/3 with taunt and a 6/6 + the ability to remove something with the 5 atk on the weapon.

The story behind the card is that the player would take on the Turalyon role of picking up the broken sword of his dead commander and rally the alliance to victory (in this case a stormwind champion and 2 goldshire footman).

Or you could just play him as a huge ass taunt if you have a lot of armor and force your opponent to have removal and ideally a silence (since that would kill him instantly and not give the weapon).

To cap it off this card also works with Varian since you would put him onto the battlefield without his battlecry (so he dies) but you would still get the weapon out of it and could built an even bigger board or hold onto it in case of a board clear.

 

[Dahbomb]

Pretty cool card, might be a bit too strong though.

The Deathrattle of the weapon is basically summon Dr Doom.

What happens if it gets summoned via Varian... it just dies?

Giving it that text twice doesn't mean it will make two copies, just like giving a minion the text of "Taunt" or "Divine Shield" twice means it has double Taunt or double Divine Shield.

That is sort of irrelevant though. The interaction with Brann doesn't follow the card text and that's that. They can keep explaining these things with the way they're programmed in the background (which is useless) or actually do something to fix them.

Yeah than he would just die but you still trigger the deathrattle.

Neat idea! Should probably get rid of taunt and the deathrattle on the weapon or it'd be too strong, even if situational.

New brawl is "Miniature Warfare". All minion cards are turned into 1/1s that cost 1 mana.

 

[Nirolak]

Well, that rules out the demon twitter thing being related.

 

[RumblingRosco]

New brawl is "Miniature Warfare". All minion cards are turned into 1/1s that cost 1 mana.

Do they have their same card text or are they vanilla 1 mana 1/1s?

 

[gutshot]

Card text remains. The 1/1 effect happens after they hit the battlefield, so even tokens that spawn from Deathrattles and such, or minions that come from spells like Animal Companion, get hit with it.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Very curious as to some of the interactions with that. For example Sneed's + Reincarnate.

Edit: Looks like you covered that.

 

[bjaelke]

Well, that rules out the demon twitter thing being related.

We did it just for the fun of it! No secrets or clues about the future i'm afraid.

That rules out content related stuff.

 

[Pooya]

silliest brawl ever?

played Tirion on turn 1, my opponent conceded. Even a 1/1 Tirion is threatening I guess. I can only imagine turn 1 mysterious challenger.

 

[Kunohara]

Made a fatigue warrior deck for this brawl but included rafaam, nef and ysera. Beat the first guy I played, a mage. The mage summoned a thaddius, and it was a 1/1, hehe.

 

[ZealousD]

Pretty good Brawl for Dreadsteeds.

 

[Moonlight]

Gonna live the Paladin dream. Muster, Consecration, buffs, divine shields out of the wazoo... good time to put your faith in the light be it Constructed, Arena, or this brawl.

 

[Xanathus]

So... it turns out even creatures summoned from Deathrattles or spells are also 1/1s. That changes a lot.

 

[Haunted]

Arcane Explosion OP

 

[ZealousD]

Would Questing Adventurer plus Master of Disguise work? Or would it knock the buffs off?

 

[gutshot]

Buffs are persistent. Power of the Wild, Defender of Argus, etc. are quite good in this Brawl.

 

[ZealousD]

Oh shit.

What about Gruul??

 

[Pooya]

even zombies from Rafaam are 1/1.

 

[Moonlight]

Yep. Paladin is preeeetty good. Kinda fun including Wild Pyromancer for the buff synergies plus absolute board clear, though maybe a bit unnecessary. Priest could be fun in that sense, too. Plus all the guaranteed Cabal steals, lol.

Might include the doctor since it's guaranteed to take out at least three things for one mana.

 

[ZealousD]

Probably a lot of hero powering in this Brawl too. Every class could get use out of Justicar.

Honestly expecting everybody will just play freeze mage at the end of this, though. Getting plinked by 1/1s is no threat at all, and Alexstraza's is busted here.

Yeah, my only loss so far was to a Freeze Mage. Alex is bullshit.

 

[Dre]

Both Alexstrasza and Antonidas must be OP in this Brawl. But what do I know it's not yet available for us EU plebs.

 

[f0lken]

Mistcaller and Bran doing work in this brawl!!

 

[Pooya]

malygos alex 2x sinister strike on turn 4 lol.

 

[Xanathus]

Try this deck in brawl guys. You instantly win as soon as you have Antonidas, 1x Echo of Medivh, 2x Sorcerer's Apprentice. Antonidas > 2 Apprentice > Echo > 2 Apprentice > Profit.

edit: Holy shit I need to try Miracle Rogue.

 

[poppedcollar69]

Druid of the fang still gets set to 1/1 even though it has a transform battlecry

Is probably not silenceable

 

[f0lken]

Also hobgoblin is OP

 

[Pooya]

if you play Jaraxxus you get 15 life actually but infernals are 1/1.

 

[Xanathus]

Miracle Rogue is way better than the Echo Mage holy shit haha

 

[Apathy]

The brawl was easy with a mage with minions that summon another minion

 

[Triz]

warlock tavern brawl. Turn 3 alexstraza opponent. Turn four Malygos, faceless, faceless, Soulfire for 19. Instant win.

 

[shira]

Paladin is your pal

 

[Grover]

this brawl is like a guaranteed win for freeze mage?

it also unfairly helps the people with tons of legendaries like malygos and rag

just got reno'd, this is absolute bullshit, this tavern brawl is literally pay 2 win

 

[Dinskugga]

damn this game! its so damn fun and so damn annoying at the same time.

its really puts my patience to the limit.

lost five games in a row now. i really wanted to throw my ipad in the wall more or less.

 

[veryslowhand]

what about all divine shields for the brawl?

 

[BigJonsson]

First turn Dr Boom, 2nd turn Ysera and mirror image, 3rd turn Antonidas + arcane explosion to clear enemy board

 

[Moonlight]

*

 

[Grover]

i guess i'll just try oil rogue to burst them down
