I threw together a priest deck. Messed around with it. Queued into a match not realizing my only deathrattle was sylvanas and I am running n'zoth. Didn't matter. When I played n'zoth I had brann on board, so it's like my deck wasn't even horribly missing deathrattles. And because I entomb'd and played nefarian with brann on board, I had a blood warriors, so I was planning on copying them all if possible. The control warrior I was playing already used both brawls and played golden monkey... so no answers and he conceded like the golden portrait casual tryhard he is.
edit:
LOL beating top tier decks with a shitty priest deck is hilarious... these guys must be salty as fuck after losing to priest. Malygos druid drew his entire deck, couldn't ohk me, and conceded after I entombed maly. Oh, that was after being able to play yogg twice because of vanish.

I don't think most of them are salty. Most people are just mindlessly laddering for the rewards, they might me mildly annoyed to face a slow deck, but whatever the +50% win ratio will carry them to rank 5 in no time playing those net decks.
EZ Quests completed with the following tavern brawl decks:
Druid: Innervate, Barnes, Ysera; Innervate, Barnes, Prince Malchezzar; and, Innervate, Astral Communion, Prince Malchezzar.
Went 5-0 with Paladin: Abusive Sergeant, Blessing of Might, Stonetusk Boar; Farmed the hell out of druid

It's always funny when I go to the darkside myself, and some Control user keeps spam "Thank You" and things like that.
Not much to get salty over when you have a good win rate and have the potential to make up a loss with two wins by the time that control deck finishes his next game.

This is a fun brawl that has pretty much been ruined by fucking mill druid decks.

Run Prince and laugh when they auto concede.

Mill Druid is great for this Brawl because a lot of people concede right after the first Mulch.

Wat? Innervate, Mulch, Coldlight? How is that better than Naturalize?

Mill druid works well but where's the fun in it?
Tons of people play aggro shaman. Some people just think winning itself is fun.

Loving the brawl. Countering the broken decks is fun, currently rocking Elemental Destruction, Healing Wave with Prince as a control shaman. Haven't seen a counter yet.

Fuuuuck, I'm trying this right now. Awesome idea!
Just make sure you keep one DW in hand. Also, get ready for the sadness that is Barnes into Barnes.
You automatically get a Dragonlord in your hand when your opponent mistakenly Naturalizes your 1/1 on the board.
That, was a mistake.

Seriously thought what is what mill druids not just conceding when they see Prince at the start of the game? They all just wait until they've hit fatigue and I still have 10+ cards on them.

I love hard countering Mill Druid. Prince Malchezaar, some healing and a board clear works perfectly.
There's your mistake right there, Hearthstone isn't fun.
Arena is MageStone. Constructed is either ShamanStone and lose by turn 6 or if you're lucky enough to get matched up with a slow deck, you get to waste 15-20 minutes before someone falls behind and drops Yogg and will more often than not just fucking win the game.
Why should Tavern Brawl be exempt from the misery?
When I was doing my brawl quests yesterday as Mill Druid I did not to the Rogue Prince deck I came across. I removed all the minions they played with naturalize and hit them in the face with Coldlights they couldn't remove. Won without going to Fatigue because I was hitting them for 8 every turn.
batstone tournament, made with skype calls and no money, got 40k viewers and was way more interesting than any other recent clown fiesta tournament.
speaking of clowns, people at Blizzard should take some notes.
can't wait for Yogg-Barnes 2%skill rng-fest at BlizzCon though!!1

Yogg ain't getting to Blizzcon in his current state.
However, Yogg is going to have his say in the Summer Championships.
I'd be pissed if I was one of those competitors--they'll always be known as the scrub who won a major HCT tournament with random Yogg dice rolls.
People wondering why Batstone had such high viewership compared to all the Blizzard HCT stuff, it's very obvious why. The rules have nothing to do with it. POPULAR STREAMERS AND PLAYERS ARE THE ONLY ONES PLAYING. HCT would get amazing numbers too if every tournament was Kolento, Firebat, Savijz, Thiis, etc. Easy way to get viewers is to have every popular person in the community in the same thing at the same time.
I do find the decks a bit refreshing and the matches have been good with strong commentary and good joking sometimes. But anyone acting like this tournament is popular because of the format and not because of who is playing is crazy.

What were the other two cards? Anyway I don't even mean instantly concede I mean once they see that I've got board clears, healing and more cards in deck they still don't give up.
Swashburgler / Burgle. Both they couldn't get value from because their hand was always full.
The hype of the bans absolutely played a huge part in the popularity. The name players also played a huge role.
uh, no? The rules and the different format definitely had something to do with it. popular streamers/players too, of course, but that was hardly the only reason.
I mean, where else were you gonna see the glorious PurifyPriest in action.
did they actually say something about it or it's just you/people hoping that they'll do something. if it's the latter I wouldn't be surprised if nothing at all is done about the card.

Popular streamers playing decks that normally don't see much play is exactly what I want from a tournament.
Why should I care who the luckiest top 100 player is?
Maybe if you have more rules that force more deck building skills and less randomness, there'd be more correlation between skill and tournament placement, and some players can gain popularity through tournament consistency instead of streaming personality, but the Blizzard tournament is a joke where you're watching random no name legend players test their card drawing and dice rolling abilities with the same exact decks over and over.
Yeah, I'm not sure why people are trying to push this narrative that the format had nothing to do with BatStone's popularity. The format obviously contributed to the hype about the tournament which directly leads to more views.
I'm not watching some midday tournament if it's just the same old shit, no matter who's playing.
Technically, Midrange hunter tops Aggro Shaman if you look at the legend rank but only by a small margin. A margin so insignificant it might as well represent the Priest player base.

I meant Naturalize. I have like...15 total games with Druid so I get them mixed up.
Hearthstone: where's the fun in it?
If I wasn't confident that Yogg was getting changed before Blizzcon I wouldn't be playing this game anymore.
I really doubt Blizzard wants a World Champion who is a total fucking joke.
And people complain about yogg deciding one on in five games, not realizing that people are forced to play yogg because of the proliferation of shaman all over the place..seriously I despise the class now..broken as fuck
Having both popular streamers and a different format is what makes stuff like Batstone and Challengestone a success.
Blizzard can influence the latter by simply changing up the meta more frequently.
The former is much more difficult to influence and it simply boils down to making HS far more competitive/skillful than it currently is. If top players are favored to win tournaments and qualify then you will naturally have more well known players being featured at events.

Class has been broken since the game's release. Now it's simply over powered broken (vs under powered broken).

I stand by my saying it is not part of the standard list. I never argued it's never been played in tempo mage ever. I've seen it a couple times and I've tech'd in myself weeks ago at times. In the vast majority of lists, arcane explosion doesn't make the cut and if it does, often just a one of trying to target a specific meta like asmodai's list does.
Best feeling ever
My point was that the card exists, therefore Mage has access to early game aoe if they want it.
More like people have to play shaman so they can win before Yogg fucks them over. Why would anyone but a masochist play a deck that reaches late game? Play a long game, make a lot of decisions, try to find a winning line, oops none of that shit matters Yogg decided to lethal you out of nowhere.
You are actually disconnected. Close and restart the client.
