Alleria's TGT Brawl Deck
This week, Medivh and Alleria are fighting in the name of the Grand Tournament! Alleria's deck is a joust-centric deck which makes use of the new TGT Mechanic, Joust, while her opponent Medivh's deck makes use of the Inspire mechanic.
Playing as Medivh? Check out his guide!
The Joust Mechanic
Alleria's deck makes use of the new Grand Tournament mechanic, Joust. Every time you play a minion with Joust, a minion is revealed from both player's decks and if the Joust initiator has a higher-cost minion, they win and the stated effect will trigger.
This deck unfortunately has less higher-cost cards than Medivh's, but you come out somewhat ahead because Medivh has way more low-cost minions in his deck where you have more low-cost spells.
The following Joust cards are in this deck:
- King's Elekk - Play it early on to forcibly draw minions and to get bodies on the field.
- Armored Warhorse - Definitely want to play these on turn 4 if possible.
- Master Jouster - Excellent trading tool if you can win the joust.
- The Skeleton Knight - Pretty scary value out of this guy if Medivh still has a lot of low-mana minions in his deck by the time it is played.
Mulligans
Your deck is very joust-centric which means you need to keep your high-cost minions in your deck for as long as possible, so we're going to prioritize spells. Alleria has more high cost cards than you do in your deck, so it's a great idea to keep them in there for as long as possible, even if she does have plenty of low-cost minions.
- Bear Trap - Ironfur Grizzly for 2 Mana is awesome value. It can force Medivh to make poor trades, or get rid of that annoying Lowly Squire of his.
- Lock and Load - If going for this, try to also get Hunter's Mark and Arcane Shots for early game Hunter card craziness.
- Animal Companion - Huffer pls
- Arcane Shot - Get rid of annoying Fallen Hero and more.
- Snipe - Excellent removal, you'll need it.
- King's Elekk - Not as consistent as above cards but its pretty solid. Win a joust early on and you'll reap the rewards of a higher cost minion.
Tracking can also be a useful Mulligan but you should resist playing it early on as it will get rid of potentially good high-cost cards which are mandatory for winning Jousts.
Combos
Acidmaw + Unleash the Hounds
Feeling overwhelmed, maybe by Medivh's army of Kodoriders and War Kodos? This turn 10 (9 with coin) combo can help you come back from what looked like certain death.
Lock and Load + Spells!
This is a fairly late game combo if you want maximum value, but can also be played early on with spells like Hunter's Mark and Arcane Shot to gain more potential plays.
Ram Wrangler + Beasts!
Your deck has several beasts in it which means Ram Wrangler has the potential to be a super good Webspinner - one which just tosses the beast onto the field for free. Great way to gain tempo mid-game.
ProTips
- Fight for board control. Try to plan out for future turns by learning what Medivh has in his deck.
- Joust early, Joust often.
Jousting Tally Win Rate So Far : 7 / 17
Why didn't Blizz use the Paladin deck to showcase the Joust mechanic? This deck is absolutely horrible as a joust deck.
This deck will turn a lot of people off to jousting, and instead just emphasizes how good Inspire is over it.
As others have stated, similar to the very first Tavern Brawl, if this deck is drawn, it may just be better to auto-concede.
So far, I've lost every match in TB w/ this deck, I have won every match with the other.
--------------------
For a deck that is "reliant" on Jousting...it sure is poorly designed. I'll keep that ratio updated. 41% joust win rate (as of my current match) ? Seriously?
I don't play aggro or tempo, I focus on control decks, I have since alpha.
> Why didn't Blizz use the Paladin deck to showcase the Joust mechanic?
Gotta promote that hero skin!
thing is you gotta survive long enough wuth a pile of fucking shit in your deck to pray for a miracle to happen so you can get into 50/50 chance of winning. really it is worst deck ever in brawl total failure brawl this week
No early drops, no removals, rng cards, shitty costfull card, worst legendary = nice way to show how good inspire deck is!
but its not an inspire deck...
He meant how good is inspire mage if compare. These 2 decks half or more made of shit, hunter have far more rng (12 vs 3 cards) and so naturally sucks....
He's referring to the mage deck, which is an inspire deck. In other words, he's saying "Nice way to showcase the other deck by using this deck as an example of how the other deck just dominates it."
but why punish the rest of us that fking hate hunters with a passion
Acidmaw over Dreadscale?, Cobra Shot over Quick Shot? Tundra Rhino over Savannah Highmane?
How can you even outvalue Medivh with his legendarys? Without early drops you lose the game turn 3.
Same here. Turn 10 Tundra Rhino + Ram Wrangler won me my first hunter match. I got a King Krush :)
I had a nice Lock and Load + Lock and Load + Mirror Entity (Spellslinger) + Hunter's Mark + Arcane Shot turn. My opponent conceded on his next turn.
Okay I'm going to put my tinfoil hat on but I've gotten Alleria in 8 straight Tavern Brawls now. Am I being punished?
got it 12 times before i got medivh and the easy win for the free pack of dust
hunter deck is shit...
played 2 times also hunter. first lost, 2nd time won because i got an ice block from mage random spell. n Ram Wrangler summon core hound.
The deck is bad, but I've won every joust and went on a 4/0 win streak with it xD.
lost 5 jousts in a row playing the jousting deck and got my faced smashed in so fking hard, really this is a total disaster deck it could been made better by adding a few wisps thats how fking bad it is
Alleria's deck is horrible, did they even try to play a few practice rounds with it?
OMG! Blizzard are trolling path?
The Alleria's deck is very, very, very, very BAD!!!!!
a few low-cost minions! impossible to win with her. ... GG blizzard!
Ya this deck seems terrible...
Edit - it is terrible.
