5 mana seems to be the sweet spot for the brawl, especially if you have coin. If you get a decent 5 mana legendary you're pretty much unbeatable.
So Tempostorm is just going to be swapping Aggro Shaman and Midrange Shaman for the foreseeable future?
LMAO @ CW in tier 1. Son please.
Don't worry. Tempostorm have only "EXPERTS" from each class to craft these lists. I'm sure CW is amazing.
Maybe control warrior is tier one in the high ranks of legend where you're seeing slower decks... but it's not tier one in the ranks where the actual majority of players are playing.
CW should be tier two, and midrange hunter belongs in tier one. That deck is everywhere on the ladder, has a strong, powerful curve with an explosive finisher, and doesn't have that many bad match ups.
Anyone who thinks CW is bad is nuts. Ravaging Ghoul is one of the single most important cards introduced in the new expansion and destroys zoo and aggro. It counters most of the popular decks as well, including midrange hunter.
I have no dog in the fight, but the meta snapshot has always been good and continues to be correct.

No one said CW is bad. Tier two is not bad. Tier two decks are powerful and can take a skilled player to legend.
Control Warrior is not one of the top four decks in standard. It has too many bad match ups and it's not stupid-broken like a tier one deck should be.
This is correct.
CW is a good deck. It is not dumb-broken the way Shaman is currently.
The Meta Snapshot continues to be "useful" in the way that it tells everyone exactly what decks they will be facing for the next bit, while also sometimes making very questionable tech choices in the decklists. Otherwise its great. If someone just wants to take deckbuilding completely out of the game, they could do much worse than just copying stuff from Tempostorm. However, they would be much better served by learning that side of the game and getting good at it.
The entire Tempostorm Tier system is completely stupid. It's really inaccurate as a way to measure the best decks. Last month Zoolock was Tier 2, despite the fact it was all over Rank 5+ and Legend.
At best it's a snap shot of the previous 2 weeks meta, but they don't back up any of their stats with actual data. It's just someone's gut feeling.
It's nice to have a list of popular decks, but that's really where it's utility ends.

Free Hogger is great for the early concede game.
Since I've given up on tryharding this season, I'm having a blast playing token druid and, of course, roping every shaman. I'm getting so many friend requests!
Just played a hunter who went face instead of removing my fandral, gadgetzan and violet teacher. That didn't go well for him.

If you was that mage I faced a few mins ago, I feel sorry bro.

This is the worst Brawl I've experienced so far. I'm sitting here with 8 cards in my hand because I only got 1 Offensive Play, and I never saw that minion again.

I just got Nat the Dark Fisherman and Cho just now. I think these mega-shitty decks are pre-arranged.
Edit: ROFL, my opponent actually played two Dark Nats against me. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
This guy tried to mill me, but Paletress gave me Y'Shaarj. GG. My other Paletress gave me Zerus. -_-

Won my first brawl off an offensive play Soggoth backed by Kel'Thuzad.
Stupid, but I'll take it.
Now 4 more wins for some coins.

One of my games I got Darkfisher, Lorewalker, Brann, and King Mukla. I couldn't put together a better mill deck if I tried.
Lorewalker is REALLY GOOD in this brawl. It either gives you extra copies of the Offensive Play spell or prevents your opponent from playing it. I wouldn't concede if I got Lorewalker.
Lorewalker AND Pagle though... just concede and start over.

I got 3 offensive plays to my opponents 1 didn't even matter which legs I got.
The pack was a bust again though, a golden common and a rare I already had 2 of.

So uh, don't Offensive Play for Shifter Zerus.
That doesn't work.
I had something worse happen to me. An early double Y'Shaarj.

Turn one 3 free King Mukla's is pretty devastating.

All they need to let you do is:
1) Pick legendaries from the entire card set.
2) Guarantee the -3 mana cost buff once per turn.
Now it's a good Brawl! You suck at game design, Hearthstone team!
You just played me.
I did that.
Rest of my hand was 8-9 drops and no card would have turned the tide.
Took me about 15 games until an opponent autoconceded.
Worst brawl ever.
oh sorry breh

Miracle's drop is completely wrong, i don't care what they say. Strong matchup vs. zoo, loses to aggro dr. shaman, even vs. control.
this!! I miss that one.
I want quicker ones to make more gold, lol, but so far this one has been really nice, just for the ridiculous amount of legendaries everywhere, the bad part is most of them are high mana cost

2-card combo Brawl was the best. That should be their model going forward.

Should've done a Golden Monkey style brawl. Your deck has 30 Elise's.
2 card combo was really fun. Fast games, a bit rock paper scissors but also has some strategy. Plus the schadenfreude of Mana Wyrm plus Frost Nova destroying Mechwarper decks.
