I like this brawl, i can queue up and not face ****ing zoo, tempo mage, and face hunter 90% of the time, and it doesnt cost me 150 gold either

I can also play classes I dont normally play because I dont own the good cards.

Had a deck with Malganis, Jaraxxus, and Ysera. Unfortunately only got to play Malganis before opponent conceded.

Is there some gimmick to this week's brawl that I'm missing? Or did everyone at Blizzard just take the week off?

The gimmick is that your deck is 100% random. I had a 4 legendary deck where they were all crap legendaries. A 3 awesome legendary deck, and one where the only legendary I got to before losing was Lorewalker Cho. It's cool in that you get to play cards you don't own. E.g., I'd never seen the Twisting Nether animation until now. In fact, I was so eager to see the animation that I played it onto a 1 minion board (opponent had just cleared the board with Brawl).

I had a hunter play secret keeper on turn 1, freezing trap on turn 2 and snipe on turn 3

I had 3 seven drops after mulliganing my whole hand. gg

I actually like this weeks, winning or losing is of course almost totally random, but you get to play with cards you may never have played before, just because either you deemed them sucky or because you didn't have them in the collection.

I mean I played a Blingtron for the first time today

I played double Millhouse Manastorm and didn't get punished for it. The guy apparently had no spells except innervate. LOL

I love the brawls where they give you premade decks since they let you play cards that you normally don't or cant. The ones where you build your own decks have been disappointing IMO.

IMO if they wanna do "build your own deck" brawls they should give everyone access to the entire card library.

I can see the appeal of this brawl to people with few cards, but isn't this just arena basically? Its like ****ty arena...

So much fun to sit there with 6 huge drops in my hand while I get smashed in the face. My first 3 games were Mulligan full hand > Get smashed in face for 5 turns before conceding. I don't think I'll be playing this much.

I don't like this Brawl.

It's nice for the free pack, but getting owned by a randomly generated deck isn't fun when it's against a stranger. It's fun when it's someone you know and you can laugh about it the completely unfair matchups.

I'm just trying to get a goddam pack. Why am I on my 5th game? Oh that's right, because we're back in the days where you are happy about playing Sunwalker and Black Knight kills it.

It's a huge letdown from last week for sure, but I don't hate this one simply because I've been able to play a lot of cards I don't have already. I'll play it a bit more. I'm glad it isn't amazing since I'm sitting at rank 5 tbh. I played brawl a lot last week.

Brawl looks like an attempt by blizzard to gather data on and improve the deck creation suggestions.

I played for nearly an hour to get a card pack because I kept getting crappy card draws. But that card pack was legendary.

You do get some unexpected combos for random decks. Blood imp + animus followed by jaraxxus and malganis. Dont think my opponent appreciated that when he thought he was cruising to an easy victory.

I think Warlock is pretty legit in this since randomly you won't get too much card draw.

I threw a match when I had lethal on board. I let curiosity get the best of me and killed Sneed's Old Shredder just to see what came out then the second minion was going to swing for lethal. That was until Mal'Ganis showed up.... concede.
