All opinions on Patches are tolerated as long as they are done in a respectful, educated manner and not in a shots fired way. This post is filled with so much bias and not even talking about the actual question until way later and even then it's not giving the entire picture.Played two terrible reno warlocks in a row. One guy dirty ratted me on kurve and then couldn't remove my board which eventually snowballed and killed him.
The second renolock decided not to tap on turn 2, clearly advertising the lack of reno in his hand and giving me the go-ahead to go all-in with face damage.
This forum isn't the place to get a fair look at the strengths and weaknesses of that card. It's an article of faith around here that Patches is the Most Broken Card to Ever Be Released in the History of Hearthstone and dissent from that viewpoint is not tolerated.
Notice that the other card in that farcical deckbuilding guide is Kazakus, yet any suggestion that Kazakus might be overpowered is met with scorn and mockery, the same as anyone who doesn't worship at the altar of Reno Jackson, which is apparently the only well designed card in the whole game and anyone frustrated by playing against nothing but Reno decks is clearly lying because besides the people who post here the entire meta is people playing "unfair" Pirates decks.
It's almost like it's only okay for Control decks to get overpowered cards, but anything that enables aggro is inherently unbalanced. Hmmm.
To your point, Patches is overpowered. You had to spend resources (mana, a card, a trade, something) to remove something that cost your opponent literally nothing to summon. To your other point, it's a fucking Stonetusk Boar so at the end of the day who really gives a shit? Not me. If it wasn't for Small Time Bucaneer, Patches would be a niche card choice in bad warrior and rogue decks.
So is the point to reveal as many secrets as possible?
I only revealed two.
Play a deathrattle minion and get it destroyed and play a minion and each player gets a mirror image.
Looks like there's a second phase of the fight vsThe Cow King.
Do you have to reveal all the secrets first?
Disappointed at no free pack this week. Went in blind with Zoolock and won easily.
I assume Flare/Eater of Secrets work?
what? no that's wrong.
p(!mage) = 8/9 * 7/8 * 6/7 = 2/3
so the probablity of not getting mage on a single run is ~66%
for independent events p1 and p2 the probability of p1 and p2 together is equal to
the probability of p1 times the probability of p2.
let n = p(!mage)
n && n && n && n && n = n ^ 5 ~= 0.13
so yeah, around 13% chance.
I think I've seen literally no one, AI or human, use Ice Barrier in a mage deck. Should I take this to mean it's a really bad card?
I also use Mirror Entity, but that seems regarded as a much better card.

Ice barrier is used in freeze mage or grinder mage decks that just stall to fatigue or until they have combo pieces. It's definitely more niche.
The mobile client seems to be having trouble running this new brawl. Getting a lot of stutter. I have a Note 5, so the phone shouldn't be the issue. Their servers may be getting extra load as well I suppose since this is a novel event.
I've been mulliganning or first-turn drawing into patches at least 50% of the time the past few days. It's insane.
Is there any way to launch the top left rocket on the mechanical board? Each of the other corners has some mechanical thing that works, but the only thing on the rocket corner seems to be satellite dishes that turn.
It's nice that games in this AI Tavern brawl count towards quests. A good way to finish those pesky Paladin/Hunter/other class you don't like quests in a relatively easy enviroment. The AI deck is pretty easy to beat if you are aggro or even something slow like Jade Druid.
Reynad's misconception about the Misconception of the Tempostorm Metasnapshot video video:

TL;DW:
Reynad feels bad that people thought his meta snapshot was not good, so he said, they said, something something, etc. He's sorry that he talked shit on VS because they are way better at at stats and shit than Tempostorm is but all perspectives are good, but mine is good and visit my website please and don't visit their site because even though both are free, mine is better because I get money from it. In the end, the community is bad at seeing both sides of an argument especially since mine is better and people are saying mean things about me on the internet. Please like comment subscribe to tempostorm.
Post-fact society strikes again.The real TL;DW is actually worse than this.
Reynad isn't actually sorry about talking shit about VS. He thinks it wasn't his intention to personally attack VS even though in the end he did exactly that. Then he said VS's response was mean and flawed and that every fiber of his being wants to tear it down. But he's not going to try and tear it down because he's so above it all and it's not going to change any minds. So that's nice. He continues to spread FUD and insult the VS report without making any actual points and then tries to claim the moral high ground while doing so. Neat.
