I think I hate this brawl... All cancer all the time... Going to play with some anti-aggro stuff to see if I can beat the system

I think this brawl is fine. It's not as imbalanced as last week. And, despite people's protests about it being full of aggro, it plays differently, so it's not the same old stuff you see on ladder. Plus, you can clear daily quests with it.

That's genius, I have a ton of normal 1 mana spells in the priest deck I'm trying out too. Same problem as Troggzor with "die before you play it" being a real problem though

I built a Shaman deck thinking I would get a lot of value out of the totems, but it was actually a turn 4 Echoing Ooze with two +2/+2 bananas that carried my weight. He even unstable Portal'd in to a 7 mana Deathwing but then got hung up on Feral Spirits.

I think Mage is the official "solved" answer to this... Even if you can hold them off with a control deck, Antonius is game over.

Violet teachers are great too.

Deathlords are doing well for me in this Brawl. On the rare occasion they do get swapped to only have 2 health, your opponent usually doesn't get much value since the decks are so aggressive anyway.

I think that this brawl could be a lot of fun but the speed that a Mage can turn a game from competitive to just over is sickening.

I am pretty disappointed with this brawl, it just isn't that fun imo.

played it once with mage and won. That card that if you target with a spell gets +1/+1 seems good value

It took me two games and I got my win.

I was also thinking about it more. If the matchmaking for these brawls is based on wins then I see the probability of winning going down exponentially. Since they make you use your own deck/collection, the people who don't have the bigger, more powerful cards are eventually never going to be able to win. There is no way you can really keep up with someone who can just keep killing your minions. No amount of bananas is going to help you if you can't keep anything on the board.

wait did you guys know you can get different bananas?

There's the regular banana which is +1/+1 but there is also a big banana which is +2/+2 (also 1 mana) and a rotten banana, which is deal 1 damage (1 mana)

Edit: just got a deviate banana which is swap health/attack

Kibler was like 15-1 with his mage version. He has a much higher curve than I would think optimal: flamewakers, questing adventures, violets teachers, dragonkin sorcerers, loatheb, and archmage antonidas. He usually has a more cards than he can cast. I would have topped out at 3, like kirby did.

EDIT: Down to 26-4 now.

The biggest problem with this week's mechanic is there are already very popular and well established decks built around playing lots of cheap spells.

They should try to come up with mechanics that force entirely new deck styles.

I'm convinced the bananas aren't equally weighted in randomness. There are 4 different banana types but you get the regular +1/+1 banana far more than the other ones.
