This is probably the most fun I've had winning with a Hearthstone deck. I'm currently about 15-2. There's nothing more fun than playing with giant threats. Ok there is, playing with giant threats and then copying them. Oh wait, don't forget stealing your opponent's threats!
Gameplay:
There is a good mix of giant bodies and minions or spells cost 5 or less. Essentially, this allows you to play 1 big drop or 2 decent drops. For instance, turn 1 could be Nefarian into turn 2 Faceless and Loatheb. Play your guys and then remove or steal your opponent's cards.
There are 5 gut wrenching individual removal cards for big dudes and 2 board wipes. Not much is going to survive that.
The best possible card to start with is Alexstraza. A turn 1 Alex is almost an immediate victory.
Odd Card Choices:
Resurrect - Let me get this straight, you think it's odd that a 2 cost giant creature is in the deck. Look at the list, there is almost nothing in the deck you would be upset paying 2 for.
Mindgames: Theoretically, most people are playing with big drops. Therefore, you are often getting a 4 cost big drop.
The Black Knight: I thought druid fat taunts would be popular. Thus far TBK has mostly been for blowing up Sludge Belcher.
Antique Healbot - Fits our 5 slot and is a great heal.
Mulligans and Matchups:
Your goal is to play on your first turn a big drop. With this in mind I prefer Alexstraza or Ysera. Both provide immense value turn 1. Surprisingly, I do not like Dr. Boom turn 1. The reason is that your goal is to also keep Resurrect and abuse it. Theoretically, your dream start is Alexstraza or Ysera turn 1. Turn 2, double Faceless Manipulator. Turn 3, Resurrect when one dies. The game is essentially over at that point.
There is a very strong Gadgetzan Rogue deck out there. If you are against rogue, you have to assume they will combo you out from nowhere by means of a concealed Malygos or Gadgetzan, or both. Therefore, against Rogue you should probably keep Lighbomb in your opening hand.
Streaming and VODS:
I streamed the deck a bunch today and would be happy to attach some VODS if people like the deck. Or check out the VOD at:
Great idea! Need to add Y'Shaaj in there too.
Curious, why the Dr. Boom? It usually resurrects the Boom Bots. I think Troggzor the Earthinator would be better turn 7
People really can't even make their own decks for Tavern Brawl? Really...
Do you make the same comment in every brawl deck list or am I somehow lucky to be graced by your presence?
useless. You have no start (
I'd say turn 1 Alex is a pretty good start.
it sucks vs. frezze mage
If you are seeing freeze mage, you should definitely add Ragnaros. I would probably pull the black knight for Rag.
Awesome deck! Finished my Priest Dominance daily in 5 straight games. Managed to get a Turn 2 kill against a warrior thanks to Turn 1 Alex, Turn 2 Mind Games > Onyxia + Thoughtsteal > Charge.
Nice Deck!

great deck, and specially fun!
It's a Tavern Brawl Deck. It is an aggro deck!
Agreed. Resurrect just takes an amazing deck and makes it broken.
This is a good point. The deck is clearly expensive. But that's what makes it so fun. When was the last time you could actually be successful cramming all of those beautiful legendaries in one deck. The answer is, never.
Jelly?
What about Rend Blackhand and Maexxna? I found them pretty cool.
I'm sure both would be fine. I'm not sure Maexxna is needed. There is a lot of removal already, and Maexxna doesn't pose much of a threat to their face. Rend is more interesting. The come into play affect is great, but the 4 health means they get to trade it off for their cheaper guys. Plus Faceless is much worse if Rend is your threat on board. I would probably add Ragnaros before Rend.
I've been running a similar deck to what TinyGrimes has made, I include both Rend Blackhand and Maexxna. I found Maexxna to be more useful than Rend. Two reasons. 1. Maexxna is better against the odd murloc, miracle, or charge warrior decks that pop up. 2. Rend is only good if you have a dragon. Typically Ysera, Alex, or if you are running Chromaggus or Nefarian are among the highest priority to play, so it is relatively rare that you have a dragon in hand.
didnt even draw a resurrect and still won
