Might try this instead of Maly then, although Im still tempted to sub the Gral and Sonya, plus another, for Maly and Sinister Strike x2.
Regarding the Shark totems, did you use them purely as finishers to pump up stats on the face turns, or as-needed? I'm wondering if adding a little card draw with battlecries would be decent, and using at least one of the sharks to draw quicker... Thanks for the info.

If I could use Spirit of the Shark, I would. The amount of tempo they gain is crazy.
They are so important I would very often buff them too. Sometimes at the expense of buffing something that could attack that turn.
I never played one on alone on the board though. There's too much ping AOE. The Stealth is not usually keeping it alive.
Sonya did prove useful a number of times. She's pretty good here. Especially since the deck can run on empty pretty early without Minstrel.
Sorry for this post, but I just dealt with the most insane turn 3 board. I was facing the popular buff rogue deck and my lord godfrey just destroyed them. Mecha'thun lock ftw.
Sweet. So people are already copying my build? :) I only played 2 mirrors on my 12-win streak.
Well, yeah, it's a good deck. I really admire the inclusion of the spirits as they make the deck both competitive and fun,
There were a ton of priests and maly rogues, instead.
This is why I added a single copy of demonic project. I know I won't always find the right time to cast it, but at least I have a small tech.
So, the "FU to all new players and those without huge collections" Brawl is back for the fifth (?) time. And on top of that it's Heroic format...
This would be somewhat enjoyable if it weren't for all the OTK decks trying to kill you in like 6 turns. But just before rotation and release of the next expansion it's nothing more but a filthy way to drain people of their gold resources. And yes, I know the first run is free and you won't have to play it other than to get your pack...
I usually love the weekly brawl, but this is really the dumbest idea i've ever seen. This is fun, when played as a usual brawl. But with this brawliseum mode everyone will and already is trying to just win. I will not play after my first entry.

Someone posted this in another thread. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THIS.
If you're F2P and you're spending your gold on this, you cannot complain about not having enough gold or dust when the expansion comes around.
Super fun brawl! I love that it is not just standard or wild format. I like mixing it with a deck building brawl but then giving us an incentive to keep playing. If you don’t like it, take your free stuff and be done. But I think this is what I’ll be playing all week.
You guys and your 12 win decks. I laughed all the way to 4-3 with Gonk Druid. Nothing in this game makes me smile and literally laugh out loud like hitting your opponent in the face with your Hero 6 or 7 times in one turn!!! Memes for the win :)
Rogue deck, with the spirits, bonemares, fungalmancers. Goal is to put down a spirit then buff him twice to a 9/9 with a bonemare. Giggling inventor is the stickiest minion, if you can play him into bonemare of fungalmancers it's gg.
Because this brawl is so fast, you need to draw the nuts every match. So that means multiple win conditions. Alextstraza, lich King, Ysera, all auto includes. Minstrel's keep your hand full, if you can play one with a spirit down it's four card draw.
Include Malygos and two sinister strikes for a turn three finish if you played alextstraza on turn one or two.
The splintery minion (forget his name) keeps a board presence at all times.
A lot of people are playing primordial Drake or scorcher for board clears. Don't worry about board clearing. I include two fan of knives but that's mostly to clear and draw all at once. The draw is key here.
Cubes and umbra for some Malygos shenanigans, and also because it's just huge value for easy combos
I include a necrium blade to complete the Malygos package. It's a later game win condition if the bone mares and fungalmancers don't win
Lastly, Valeera if you need to stall a turn. Also gives you infinite bonemare or malygos
Edit: some matches you will just lose because the opponent draws a ridiculous turn two combo. You need incredible luck to win 12 in this.
FYI to any idiots (myself included) trying Wizbang, you're gonna have a hard time lmao. I started 0-2 and got stuck with the buff paladin deck. Then I went 3-0 with spell hunter (autoconcede from big spell mage), spell priest, spirit druid.
> Standard only > No counter for combo decks > Brawliseum for vapid uninteractive games > Play one game, you've played them all > Draw race matches
I'll see you gents next week.

Start of Year: Provoke the failure of 3 expansions, force nerfs on otherwise balanced cards, bring deckbuilding to an all-time low and get rotated one year earlier for being such a threat to the game's health. - Genn and Baku's historical entry on the White Book of Shit Design, shortly before retiring unpunished
Wait, scratch all the crap I just said. I got a Golden Gonk, this is the best brawl ever, IDGAF xD

Went 6-0 with malygos rogue, then the matchmaking decided I won enough and out me against the most insane streak of topdecking battlecry and bounce rogues I’ve ever seen. Good rewards at least
I gotta say from the get go that this brawl is the most infectious brawl i've played in a while, A FUCKING CESSPOOL. While I admit that I played rogue for an 8-3 streak, i also admit that rouge is nuisance here, priests don't stand a chance, easily crushed 3 of them, never mind the other classes. After my 4th win encountered only rouges so to whoever gets to a 12 win streak during the following days, hats down!!!

bring on the odd pally and Maly druid/rogue!

Went 5-3, adjusted my deck, went 8-3.

Good luck everyoneeee!
This is correct
ONce they hit the board, you can then buff them. But they all come out as 1/1
In case anyone is wondering, Baku does NOT work with even-cost minions despite them being reduced to 1 cost
The cost of the card and it's stats change as it enters your hand or the board
