this brawl sometimes makes no sense. When you summon a creature, it immediately casts a spell. The spell can affect your minion, so the minion is on the board before the spell. However, battlecries take effect after the spell completely resolves. For instance, I dropped a secret stealer, but the spell triggered the secret before the battlecry took effect. Didn't make much sense to me...
Sounds like the random spell is an "on play" effect, and those always resolve before the battlecry. So what you described is exactly what I would expect.
Played creatures always enter play (and become targetable) before anything else happens, with two quasi-exceptions (Cobalt Guardian and Murloc Tidecaller, which are actually not "on play" effects at all, but "presummon triggers").
Anyway, this brawl is easily one of the craziest. I'm in the middle of whether I like it or hate it. It has its moments of being epic, but also has its moments of being salty, both with unthinkable RNG (my opponent had an Imp on board and I played a minion and cast Demonfuse on that Imp). It's not for everyone, but give it a go.

Terrible brawl. You don't actually play this brawl - it just happens to both players. I thought that they couldn't go further with RNG. Boy was I wrong.
There are no meaningful decisions to be made, and no accounting for skill. If you could just push a button and let it autoplay, I'd be more interested. Otherwise, a waste of time.
Awesome brawl, and the best part about it is that it pisses off the tryhards.
Wow, you're such a nice person, huh? You're happy that other people get annoyed to lose for reasons absolutely beyond their control. Might as well bully newbs farming lvl 20, because fuck them trying to win when they have no chance, right?

100% this.
It is basically like a Trolden video. Of course it is full of randomness, but MAYBE, just MAYBE not every match in HS has to be about winning. These brawls aren't about winning and if you are able to accept that, it is one of the best brawls ever.
They are about winning, dipstick. That's what the free pack is for. And trying to win this brawl is about as fun as smashing your head through the Empire State Building.
Let's see, so far I've had...
Explosive Shot kill my minion, followed by my opponent dropping something turn 2 and getting Animal Companion (quit)
Put a creature on the board for it to cast DOOM!, which decked me (quit)
Played a Fel Reaver to have it get Mulched...by itself... (quit)
Oh, and let's not even bother to mention all the absolute garbage minions in my decks in the first place. One actually had Nozdormu.
This brawl is bad and you and Blizzard BOTH should feel bad.
First game I got Astral Communion while having 8 cards in hand and 10 mana already. Glad it only took 2 games to win this one. I sur will be glad to NOT having to play this brawl again. Not only do we not get to build our deck we have a RNG fest so skill doesn't matter.
This easily makes it into the top 10 worst brawls.
what?! last bralwl's invasion of secret paladin was so sucky we have to thank whoever invented this one.

Not being skill intensive is half the reason brawl's exist, its just a bunch of luck...
If I wanted to play a game with no skill I would roll dice.

I did pretty good against it with Always Reno Warrior. The C'Thun decks on the other hand were cancer for Reno.

yeah because perfect curve secret pala brawl was so meaningful and skillful and completely not autopilot, right?

No one forces you to netdeck the constructed brawls. People just do so out of laziness. While last week's curve brawl was (in my opinion) the worst/least fun of the constructed ones, but most constructed brawls have rules/setups that let you see plays you normally never could, and use cards you normally wouldn't.
This particular brawl.. just takes RNG to a new, pointless level. It's one thing to be served something random, then the strategy comes in making the most of what you're given. It's completely another to have NO idea what's going to happen ANY time you play a card.
anybody else seeing a ridiculous number of Spellbenders or Counterspells? They don't trigger from the spells the minions cast, but I have seen 1 in each of my last 3 matches...

At this rate, the next tavern brawl will be a coin flip at the start. Get heads, here's a pack.
This brawl is terrible, like all of them. Requires no input from the user besides dropping a card.
You don't need to think. I can see how this will appeal to the masses.
Not even one and done.
Only slightly less RNG in this brawl than in a normal game. Didn't care too much for it.. might try it a few more times.

There's absolutely nothing fun about this brawl. Got my pack and got the hell out.
RNGesus take the wheel!
when their only creativity comes back to rng fuckfest, i don't know what they're doing
I'm not taking it serious, but honestly this brawl sucks. 0 replayability for me, so I shouldn't be forced to choose a 1. Terrible poll.
sometimes you just gotta astral communion yourself 3 times in one game i guess
Yeah.. this seems to be the brawl for people who like watching wacky videos more than actually -playing-.
Random taverns: best ones!
Practice makes perfect!
