Hearthpwn

There may have been some trolling going on, in designing a brawl which favoured aggro decks with lots of cheap minions, given how much people whine about that archetype.

But I found it mad fun with a Flamewaker/Mana Wyrm abuse mage deck, won first game and enjoyed it enough to play some more (winning most of them). And that's all I ask from a Tavern Brawl.

more aggro braindead decks please blizzard! we dont have enough of those in ladder!

 made my win with mill rogue and now bye bye aggro cancers! You can play in your aggro heaven as long as you want (well 4 days actually).

If you think rag vs Neff was bad then you instantly lose all credibility.

there are some fun variations you can play, it's just disheartening to see the same mage, hunter, and zoo decks. And a mill rogue? Get out of here!

I'm really enjoying the Banana Brawl so far! I made my own Mage deck that's a little bit different from the current build that most people seem to be running, and I've only lost one game with it so far. Putting it below if you guys want to have a look. I do have one Violet Teacher in there, but primarily my deck revolves around having a lot of minions die so that the ones that can REALLY benefit from the Bananas get to shine. I incorporated Duplicate and it works extremely well with almost every minion in the deck, because almost all of them can get good value out of Bananas. I will admit it's not the most amazing and obviously not super original, but I do think it has a bit of a twist compared to the Mage deck most people seem to be running in this Brawl, and I've actually done reasonably well against that Mage deck myself with this one.

As for the Brawl itself, I really do like it quite a lot. It's clear at this point that Tavern Brawl is kind of a "go nuts" mode, where players are given the opportunity to pull off stuff that makes even the most broken of Constructed decks look tame by comparison. And the coolest thing is that even new players who don't have that many cards in their collection are able to do reasonably well provided that they construct their decks carefully and / or are reasonably good players. I really dig that and I've had a lot more fun with this mode than both Constructed and Arena lately. I also love that you can do your daily quests in there as well as the free pack, as it's really helping build out my card collection which is very lacking at the moment. I really, really hope they keep the free pack thing going, although I know they said they'd only do it for the first few weeks. It's just so helpful and I'm having more fun playing Hearthstone these days than I have in months.

I've cottoned on to an absolutely absurd combo using Warrior (effectively a loop). I'll explain it in four days!

 Let me guess: Violet Teacher + Warsong Commander?

 Crazy talk.... ;)

I've also been having a lot of fun with the Tavern Brawl tonight. I understand not every week will interest all players, but I think it's really cool that they're giving us this new feature.
