You have to win. Good luck. The player base only understands how to smORC.
Well, I hope I'm as lucky as the last time where I had a partner who knew what to do.
After 45 minutes I get a good Co op partner and I get disconnected one turn before we win.
Fuck this brawl and fuck the mentally challenged people I get matched up with.
How is 40 dust worth going through this garbage.
EDIT: reconnected in time to finish him off. As predicted, 40 dust.
Not looking forward to doing this all over on my EU account. Hopefully they are smarter on that side of the ocean.

A lot of new guys in here, so this reddit thread came at a great time. It's Sheng's Budget Decks for Standard. They are decks created using only Basic, Common, and Rare cards; they also serve as the framework for some of the best decks in the game. So you never feel like you wasted your dust.

Each deck links to a break down of strategy, reasons for the cards, and lots of other really great information.
If you are a new player, make sure to check it out!

@Manhack, what a great post and a great link to such great information

Hilarious. Dropped N'zoth and he summoned 3 Xarils and I shadow stepped N'zoth and I had an azure drake on board. Obvious flames strike is played and I play N'Zoth again and now 6 Xarils come down. Nice. It's nice to know that the shadow copy card that gives you a 1/1 copy for 1 mana comes back as a full body with N'Zoth. This is awesome.

After 6 games I finally got someone who knew that Prioritize doesn't INSTANTLY KILL the highest attack minion, it just deals attack damage. So if you put divine shield on my going to be massive holy champion and not your arcane golem it wont die!!! wow!!!

Why even have two accounts where you have to double-grind all the time?
Oh snap. :-O

Started the brawl the minute it got live, sculpted my hand perfect for Lorewalker Cho then bounced back and forth 5 pump spells, my co op partner played milhouse and I finished the zoid with a 58/1 squire. He even healed himself to 7 to outlive the face damage at 1.
Got lucky with just 2 attack increases. Any more and you can pretty much concede on the spot.
Literally 40 dust tho, got an equality as the only rare of which I already have a golden and a regular one.

Yeah this one just really feels a lot harder to control than the Druid version did. That said, the change from Assassinate to just dealing damage to the minion makes the paladin actually able to be useful this time instead of just waiting for a huge minion to buff with Blessed Champion.

thank you for the tips, they will come very handy when I start building decks-
for now I'll be playing only with basic cards until I buy the first expansion (I'm 900 away!)

Which one are you getting? I'd say League of Explorers is the most value right now.
I like having a F2P account. It's a completely different feeling than my P2W account. Building decks with a limited collection in order to complete dailies uses a different part of my brain and is a different kind of challenge than laddering on an account where I have access to (nearly) all of the cards.
Also, laddering on my main account is stressful, and every loss is frustrating. On my f2p account, I don't feel that pressure to perform. Losses don't bother me, because I'm already an underdog, and wins are more satisfying. Beating someone with a meta deck when I'm playing a cobbled together homebrew deck feels great!
nice I had one game where I coined out the shadow step xeril poison my nzoth, and then played him for 8 next turn which let me use gang up on my nzoth the same turn. ended up with 3 nzoth turns in a row.
I'm getting both, but I'll pay LoE with gold and BRM with real money, I think paying for one isn't that bad (hope I'm not wrong)
I won the brawl first try.
it isn't that difficult if you know what to do and plan carefully, I lost for the first time after I won 6 matches.
It just takes time, but I won already 7 matches. I'll be farming it for gold, like the past brawl. Loved these last 2

Huh, interesting. Personally, I hate being restrained - I want every resource available. I just got a $120 bonus from work and already my head is to buying some packs so I can finish my Priest deck experiments. -_-
that brawl is superb! Never played the coop brawl before, neat idea!
In the pack i got an ancient of war! YES
edit: I also decided to go on the long gold grind for the LoE adventure. already got 250 gold. arena is really tempting, but I think I am not good enough to make profit.

I didn't know that in this Brawl Mechazod destroys your entire side of the board if there's no space for him to "fly" to on your side.
...well, now I do.

Awwwww yisssd mechazod
can gold be earned in adventures?
No, only brawl and play
the other thing helping shaman is that other classes lost a lot. With that gvg paladin early game, shaman wouldn't be good still. minibot and muster contest trogg and totem golem and with overload you never get back on board. Same thing still happens with zoo vs shaman to some extent but zoo minions are very weak now and shaman can brute force them out.
hunter is actually pretty good now, they are only weak in early game that hurts them against shaman/zoo but against everything else they are really good, lists are running doomsayer now. People are underestimating it.
Next set I think think it's priest's turn, it's just an awful class with pile of reactionary cards and the cards this set don't have any direction whatsoever. It's a mess.
Druid needs a lot of help too, they need some flexible board control tools and comeback mechanics, not more pile of stats. I suspect they'd want paladins to be able to play more than just control too.
Right now warrior is the most healthy and well rounded class and can do everything really.

Priest steals TWO copies of Call of the Wild from me. Mmmkay.
Nah Druid has had its turn. It's never had a bad year since the game started.
They'll probably push Divine Shieldadin next year.

That seems silly. Hunters are good aside from their class 1 and 2 drops being weak. They just need to done down Shaman. I never felt like my Hunter cards weren't doing enough in the midgame.
