Can confirm, Greater healing potion is also a fun Patches counter, and can also counter Mind Blast.
Make sure to get as many as you can early on. Against most decks you can stall early on, the GHP on 4, then once you've stabilized, you can hero power and GHP every other turn (14 healing over 2 turns, patches does 14 over 2 turns, unless it's a deck with dmg hero power), but you'd end up filling hand anyways, so you may as well just GHP and hero power every turn when you can.
Reason it can counter mind blast is that mind blast can only do max 25 dmg with 10 mana(MB x5) and GHP can Heal 30 with 10 mana (GHP x2, Hero power, but thats using 5 cards vs using 2, so GHP outvalues and MB runs out of steam)
Over the first 4 turns (until you can play GHP), Patches won't kill you (unless buffs are involved), and Mind blast can do max 10-20 before you can GHP, depending on if they use coin, or if you decide to coin GHP on 3, but you don't need to, since they do max 20 dmg. And since GHP can heal in 1 card what MB can damage in 2 cards, you'll stall them out in no time.
Also vs. Patches warrior, you can definitely win fatigue if you can find a way for them to reload patches (puts them 12 deeper in fatigue than you) or if some of your 8 random cards are good (had Kazakus into Confessor with respawn potion at end of game so the warrior insta conceded), but you might beat them even with them only 6 cards deeper, too lazy to do math though.
You insta lose to Jades though, can't fatigue em, and a board from 1/1-7/7 does 28 a turn, 29 with hero power.
But hey, you can win pretty much every other matchup! And a lot of them are in fatigue too, so you'll be wasting people's time, which somehow makes me feel more satisfied. (People would concede out of boredom too :P)
Yep, was testing while posting random ideas. It's really strong.
10 straight wins with power word glory. Some people don't understand that Patches will loose almost all the time and insist on playing until almost fatigue.

Warrior will win though if they armour up every turn and never attack with a Patches that has power word glory on it?

I lost to one of these barely with me playing a Coldlight Oracle deck. Only lost because TWO of the "class cards" he had were Lyra the Sunshard, and they gave him the exact perfect 5 spells to beat me. One more life and I would have won.

I'm playing against a Mage with Ice Block, and they're roping every single turn, too. Fuck this mage. Fuck this brawl. Fuck blizzard for creating it.
Why am I sticky?

so they're nerfing the caverns below and then releasing the tavern brawl that makes it obvious that the real thing in need of a nerf is charge...
Hypocrisy for the win i guess
just play jade swarmer, i've won 6 games with it now
Dumbest brawl ever. Did they really not think how stupid this idea would be with a card like Patches the Pirate?
I don't have Unstable Ghoul and I tried Explosive Trap. Looks good.
One day this game will stop existing. I can't wait.
Of course The worst Brawl EVER!
aoe is king. Maelstrom portal is pretty good.
Why am I sticky?
Gonna try Prince Malchezaar, it'll suck but could be fun

Wickerflame Burnbristle is fun against patches ;)
Power Word: Glory is a hilarious counter to Patches.
