A priest summoned a Thrallmar Farseer with Thoughtsteal. The next turn he put Blessing of Kings on it and summoned a Pit Lord.

I've played 3 games and that was the second Pit Lord I went up against. I guess there aren't that many 4 mana minions in the game after all.

Ok the very next game I got Pit Lord from Consecration. I feel better now.

Also noted that if you play Loatheb and they Fireball you anyway, hello Ysera.

That feeling when your opponent gets Trade Prince Gallywix and Troggzor on back to back turn from his spells.

Spell based brawls are always gonna be horribly imbalanced because certain classes are so much more spell centric and have way more spell synergy and such.

They know this of course but I guess they're fine with people using the same 3-4 classes for those. It's only a week so it's not that big of a deal I guess.

Trying to clear a priest daily quest with it and priest just doesn't seem very good here. So many of their spells are buffs. So if you have a spell heavy deck, you have nothing to buff in the early game.

i think druid is by far the strongest class for this challenge.

mark of the wild, claw, innervate, potw, wrath, healing touch, mark of nature, roar, bite, soul of the forest(!!!), swipe, starfall, dark wispers, FoN.

theyre all SUPER strong.

I've seen people say that mage, priest, druid, paladin, and rogue are all really good, so it's not that bad this week. Certainly much fairer than the banana brawl.

mage seems like the strongest class to me

tempo mage spells in the early game to get board control then frost nova, blizz and flamestrike to prevent them from doing anything with their board.

Did warlock, easy win.

Any class with good spell removal and lucky RNG should do fine.

Only bad part was when demonwrath killed the arcane golem it summoned.

Warlock is fun, but hellfire and demonwrath kill the new minion a ton.

Yeah, I really like druid here. Much stronger than priest.

And take Loatheb out of your deck! You're giving your opponent a free big minion next turn. At the very least, don't play it later than turn 6 or so.

Hunter is god this week. Spent 30 secs making the below deck and went 5-0 in <10 mins. You gain supreme board control easily due to the cheap direct damage spells and snowball out of control quickly. Every game was over by turn 6.

Hunter's mark x2
Arcane shot x2
Tracking x2
Explosive trap x2
Freezing trap x2
Misdirection x2
Snake trap x1
Flare x1
Quick shot x2
Animal companion x2
Deadly shot x2
KC x2
UTH x2
Multishot x2
Cobrashot x2
Explosive shot x2

Twas also fun to play cobra shot for the first time ever.

Surely Nourish beats Bite or Healing Touch? Healing Touch is pretty awkward on curve.

I just played a guy that had creatures in his Druid Brawl deck! Lol n00b. What's ever worse, he RNGed the bejesus out of me (he rolls Emperor, I roll Anima Golem, etc.) and I lost.

Played against a priest and the game went to turn ten. Had 1 minion on the board and his was empty. Mind control my minion, gets deathwing. Fun times.

This week is pretty fun. Just tried an Ancestor's call Shaman deck, not that great, but pretty fun. All spells and then Maly, Chromag, Ysera, Rag and Al'akir

Just had an absurd sequence. Opponent played starfire and got a trade prince and had an otherwise massive board. I had to YOLOstrike and sac my board to clear but lived the Velen dream instead and wiped him for 8. They of course flamestriked back and got Velen too.

10/10 would flamestrike again
