Last time people complained about "China getting all the cool thing first" and now when we get it, they compplain about the brawl being terrible. Seriously, this community is so toxic.
Have you even played this yet? It's legitimately terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if they pull it and either fix it or use an old brawl. I also wouldn't be surprised if the win rates for going second are above 75%.
It's as bad a brawl as they've had since they've started.
Haven't played it yet since I live in Europe.
Although it's usually safe to assume the community is being toxic, this is not one of those times.
Yeah, that was probably too early of an assumption since I haven't played it. Seems like those Party crashers deserve their names.
What a bunch of whiny murlocs. It's a free pack that's actually worth something for once. If you really want to open something today, then spend 100 gold and pretend you got that pack today.
The brawl's not that of a bad idea, but with a random deck, it is super hard. My opponent played 4 mana 7/7 followed by Devolve, gets rid of all my board for garbage minions. This is just bs. This other guy gets Equality + Consecrate off on turn-6, clears my entire board. I can't win a single match.
Complete garbage brawl, just play hunter and go second, hope your opponent doesn't have any direct damage on the taunts to swing the board, you win. Seriously, in one of my games I played one 2 drop and that was it, just used steady shot the rest of the game and won easily, even though my opponent had a minion to play each turn. Almost no point playing if you go first, because getting the first taunt goes to the second player. It could have been an interesting brawl in theory, if they let you build a deck around this "mechanic" but nope, you just get random cards and hope they are good. Thankful for the Un'Goro pack though, that was above and beyond. I guess they didn't want people rioting about China getting something the rest of the regions didn't.
I must be in the minority. I loved the fact that the pack was for the next expansion. Those are the only cards that I really need now. Brawl packs are usually just dust for me.
This brawl sucks more than usual. First, the 3/5's with taunt always go face (might be a bug but in its current state it just sucks). Second, you get an Un'Goro pack, which you can't open until "mid April." Third, IT'S ENCOUNTER AT THE CROSSROADS. I hate this brawl.

Snails make terrible shoelaces. Remember that, Bruce. Remember that.
This is by far the worst Brawl ever. Basically whoever gets an OK minion 1st since it soon becomes protected by a wall of taunts. Going 2nd has a GIGANTIC advantage since it can coin out a decent minion better AND gets the 1st Taunt that goes face.
My biggest complaint about this brawl is that I played 5 games in a row and all 5 people were mages and when it comes down to what cards you can RNG, mages have too big of an advantage.
Edit: Nevermind. After playing this brawl over a dozen times I am just seething with rage and how unfun the RNG is here.
Yeah, the 3/5 Taunts come out so fast that you can't do anything but desperately throw every card possible to reduce their numbers for your opponent, and win purely from damage from your party crashers. Plus they essentially have charge, ignore taunts, ignore freeze effects, and always go face.
This is the most un-fun brawl ever. But hey, it's fast, which means that I completed my Win X Games quests in record time with no thought required.
Still, I really hope they never do a brawl like this one again. Even the generic "Encounter At The Crossroads" brawl was better than this one.
Seriuosly you have to get extremely lucky to win going first otherwise party crashers just overwhelm you. As an example I lost to a guy who played nothing for 2 straight turns.
I have to win 5 of these garbage tavern brawls? I might actually reroll a 60 gold quest cause this sucks. I go first I lose, I go 2nd I win unless RNG screws me. I went 2nd and didn't get a card under 5 mana until turn 5, needless to say my opponent outskilled and outthought me

this is the kind of brawl we need.

I picked Warrior and got to go 2nd and had Bolster talk about GG buffing all the taunt Minions by +2/+2
So Blessing of Wisdom does not work on the Party Crashers, though the text implies that they are attacking.
Something witty.
So open a pack... and pretend you got it from this tavern brawl.

Welcome to the "you go second = you win" brawl.

1 hour of going 1st 90% of the time to get one pack = not worth it.
