How to play:
How to actually play:
Pop the crates, rip open the presents, make your opponent cry.
In the current Tavern Brawl, at the start of each turn, a 0/4 crate is dropped on the active players field, if there is none already. Whenever a crate is destroyed, the active player gets to discover a card of the original owner's class (e.g. Warlock cards for crates from your side of the field). Their cost is reduced by 5 (and you only get to discover cards with a base cost of 5+).
This ridiculous cost reduction makes destroying the crates the highest priority. Most of the cards in the deck help you to destroy the boxes dropped on both yours and your opponent's side of the field as soon as they spawn. When you can open more presents than your opponent, you'll most likely win.
Have fun ruining everyone elses Winterveil!
Card Round Up:
Power Overwhelming - Kill their crate by killing your crate.
Dark Peddler - Gets other cards that kill crates.
Wrathguard - Has 4 attack. Crates have 4 health.
Youthful Brewmaster - Hides presents from your opponent until you have a way to pop them yourself.
Shadow Bolt - Deals 4 damage. You do the math.
Void Terror - Eats Crates before your opponent can even get to them.
Doomsayer - Kills everything, gives you presents.
Crazed Alchemist - Flips crate, shatters china.
Arcane Golem - Smashes crates immediately. Nerfed. Kooky Chemist does similar stuff.
Big Game Hunter - For other stuff your opponent might play. Nerfed. Blastcrystal for now.
Rest of the cards is pretty much to ensure early game presence and to prevent your opponent to smash the crates first. You want to have initiative, else you'll have a bad time.
After 6 years this deck performs is still solid xD
13/12/2023: Giving this deck a try, but I'm afraid that there are newer iterations that do better than this.
Like the one my opponent is playing. EVIL Genius is one of those better cards.
Half a decade outdated, don't waste your time. Terrible deck these days.
Used it December 2022
Yep, still works like a champ.
Opponent rage quit on turn 4
2021 (almost 2022) squad
2020 still works
2019 still working
Still working its magic in 2018!
Amazing Deck
Still best deck on these brawl. I can't give you 2nd plus, but you deserve 1 for good deck and 2nd for your description. It was funny.
And yes, turn 1 or 2 doomsayer is godlike here. 2 times and two concedes after that.
hi diddly doo, how are you?
Won my first game, no life tap needed. Power overwhelming on grom and crazed alchemist when my opponent was at 10 hp. Very awesome deck.
my druid opponent just got slaughtered. he just couldn't do anything against me. i had total board control. he only managed to burst open 1 crate for the entire game. and when he did finally get a bunch of minions on board, he had to make unfavourable trades because i had big taunts in the way he could do nothing against.
i had so many cards on hand, just had an answer for whatever they wanted to throw at me :X
for my opening hand i managed to nerub egg and void terror early on. it was a downhill for opponent from that point onward.
+1 this deck :]
my opponents keep conceding before turn 4!
ALL YOUR PRESENTS ARE BELONG TO ME!
I'm a mean one, using this. I really am a heel.
Just fought a mage, had 9 (!) Flamestrikes. That's not a feature of this deck, which is great too, but I had to share this.
Yes... yes! get all those presents, bran and cold light oracle are pleased ^_^
No need to waste an entire day on a deck with which you can't win. Should have stopped after five or so losses, and moved on to try something else.
I've had lots of success with this deck, but it can produce bad results if your rng is bad, especially in mirror matches. The Gift Exchange mage deck also works well...
is a kind of top deck
