I wound up going 6-2 in this brawl. All 6 wins were using KT, I lost once with each hero (yeah, I only got stuck with Rafaam once in 8 matches). Rafaam has to drag the game out long and hope to pull some awesome cards from his upgraded hero power to even have a chance. Rafaam also needs KT to draw incredibly poorly. If KT gets Heigan or Gothik out early, there's just no coming back. Anub kind of fucks up KT's hero power, but it's 8 attack on the board, and if you leave Anub up for a few turns, he's just as bad as Heigan.

When I become president I will personally shoot every person that intentionally wastes time once they've already lost.

I'd vote for you tbh.
there's always a way to come back in the match, i just have to stare at the screen until i find it.

I'm talking about those times when it's impossible. They literally do not have the cards to come back.

a series of unfortunate events
Whenever someone is dragging out a match they can't win, I assume they have an ace in the hole somewhere.
Usually Deathwing.
You can counter that with the minion that transforms everything at the end of the turn, or the pit snake transform. But yeah, otherwise its pretty hard.

Maybe it's cause you are playing secret paladin. Just saying.

This is what I deserve.
Have they ever made a brawl that is balanced? Blizzard and balance 4Head
The charge + taunt one was pretty fair. obviously some cards like pit snake or cobra were amazing as removal, but nothing a spell couldn't have done the same way

What are the toxins? Impossible to even talk about if we don't know.
There similar but better than spare parts. Hearthpwn has the list.
This card is amazing.

Please put images in quote brackets. That doesn't even fit on my screen.
Card image is huge, try to put it in quotes as it automatically resizes it.
1 mana. They're pretty much spare parts with a few changes (usually they're a bit better)

1 mana
They all seem alright except the over costed shadowstep. Don't know why that's one mana

All 1 mana.
Card is really cool, like a Rogue version of Toshley. I'm no Rogue player so I have no idea whether it's any good but flavor wise it's awesome.

So spare parts on steroids. Seems like that was built for miracle.
Probably usable in most decks though as the toxins seem fairly strong and can initiate combo.

So they are like better Spare Parts. I guess he is comparable to Toshley who doesn't see play.
His stat line is garbage, but the Bloodthistle, Briarthorn, Firebloom and Kingsblood seem good to me. Stealth one is eh. Since this is Rogue they will proc combo, Violet Teachers and Auctioneer so that is good.
Edit: Actually stealth one is pretty good for Rogue with those cards I just named. Woops. Since you don't know which one you would get its slightly worse, but if it was Discover it'd be really, really strong.

can see it in the maly deck and extra card draw w/ auctioneer
Shadowstep may not stay 0 mana tbh, and it may not keep the same discount.
Rogue is the other class they've targeted for nerfs in the classic set.

Sjow's card.
I like the name, I like the concept, I don't know if I like the card at 5 though.

RIP all hopes and dreams for Death's Bite replacement.

Couldn't that at least have been 4 mana to "replace" Death's Bite? I hope Warriors get another weapon or they're kinda fucked.
I just realized you have to spend 5 mana EVERY time.

Warrior. Its hard to tell, but the color of the boarder around the card text corresponds to the class.
Good.
Death's Bite is stupid. You have a balanced weapon with Arcanite Reaper. Use it.
Warrior.
That incoming shadowstep nerf. I have like 10 shadowsteps lol.
The cards are just like regualr cars. 1 mana deal 2 damage, or that one is just blessing of might. They are better than spare parts, they are actually real cards.
It's a 3/2... well, it does draw two cards for 4 mana, I guess it's not unfair. You probably want to get more than two toxins from it to be really good. like play Brann. If it was a 3/3 it would be really good, now you have to try it see how it works out. I wish there was a weapon buff in there, the cards don't seem extremely useful.
It's a better legendary rogue card compared with other sets. The problem is it is slow, maybe if they are actually printing some health gain for rogue finally, I'm not holding my breath at this point.
edit: sjow's card is garbage, why on earth you wouldn't play gorehowl instead. I doubt warrior is getting two weapons in this set. RIP.

Rogue card isn't too bad, has potential but not too exciting and the effect really doesn't warrant that utterly terrible statline for a legendary no less (meanwhile MC). Wonder if there'll be other toxin-related cards.
This is 100% bs, Death's Bite has played a huge part in keeping Warrior competitive since Naxx. Balanced = bad in constructed HS

Except the Stealth one, that is straight up the stealth spare part.
I really hope there are other cards that spawn Toxins. I loved spare parts. Maybe they could give them all to rogue though, since I don't know if Blizzard wants to give other classes Shadow Step (Even if it is 1 mana)

Zoolock probably. Aggro Shaman is also good I think, not sure I don't play it.
They already got Cursed Blade though...
Maybe the new worst epic rated card in the game. Worse than Captain's Parrot.
That sounds both fun and interactive.
I think the rogue legendary is amazing, but this definitely lends itself so much to the already existing archetype that it almost seems hypocritical of blizzard. Maybe if there are some new combo cards it will be ok, but for now there is no midrange rogue.
Edit: As for the tentacles card, it would be appropriately costed at 4 mana, but without spiteful smith, the card is straight booty.
Already golden. Vanity upgrades is 99% of my Hearthstone-existence.
