This tavern brawl was actually my favourite one yet. Here's my reasons for it.
1) It gives everyone a chance. I've made it as far as Rank 4 on ladder so I'm not a bad player. There is still a level of skill involved in the game type but the massive reliance on RNG for a good curve and decent cards gives newer players much more of an opportunity to succeed. This is supposed to be a fun game type, not a competitive one.
2) It's not unfair or unbalanced. Since you don't choose your cards, there's no netdecking or swinging toward one class over any other one. Each class has a chance. Sure some classes have lame cards but you always have the chance to get some really good ones too. This also makes the 5 win dailies a lot easier for classes that you don't enjoy as much.
3) There are some hilarious interactions with cards that I would never use. I don't own Trade Prince Gallywix so it was awesome to get to play him a few times. I had a couple of games where Maexxna's were frightening opponents but were crushed by my MVP Hemets. I was able to Master of Disguise a Nat Pagel, scoring 6 cards off of him. I used Nefarian to steal a Twisting Nether from a warlock, saving me from his massive board. No matter how lost a match seemed, there was always some chance of redemption amidst the craziness.
Although there probably wasn't a lot of thought put into this TB, I applaud Blizz for creating this one. I loved it and it was a great idea. Exactly what Tavern Brawls need to be like.
This was the first brawl, where i can not reach 10 wins. After 3 wins 10 looses in a row.
When after the mulligan you have cards only for 6-8 manas ( despite they are Kel'Thuzad, [card]Force-Tank MAX[/card] and [card]Sneed's Old Shredder[/card] ) ,on t6 you will be beated.
But it give me an idea for a good brawl theme :
What if the cards will be the same, half a caste and half neutral, but :
Order the cards in deck ( or maybe only the top 6-7 ) by mana cost, to have top-decking, at first 6-7 draws you always will have card with manacost equal to your mana budget. And the decks will be without spells.
Than only the synergy beetween the cards play role.
This was the best Brawl for me won around 35 games =D. Love the fact that it is random decks... makes it fun and unpredicteble. i got 2 doomsayer in 1 deck such crap against 5 legendary but still fun.
I loved this brawl. As a new player I don't have a big collection of cards. This not only let me play with the cards I do not have, but it also let me play every single hero without feeling like I was coming in with a huge disadvantage. I played this brawl a lot, and won a lot. I racked up 92 wins!
Another stupid heavy RNG based Brawl, when is blizzard gonna learn that this stupid crap isnt fun, going on game 8 now without a single win, my opponent gets great cards and all the answers while im left with garbage, cant wait to get my pack so i dont have to play this again
Edit: After 20 straight losses i finally won a game, i dont know how anyone can find this stupid brawl fun, the people that find it fun are the ones with super good luck, but keep in mind if your having good luck that means your opponent is probably having bad luck or not having fun, im glad i got my pack, i wont be doing this brawl again.

I have asked EU whether this is an error or not.
We will know soon.
Give a man a Murloc, and he'll eat for a day.
Give him a Murloc Knight, and people will hate him.
Likely not. Purely random decks with TGT thrown in makes sense at this point; its the simplest way to mix in exposure to the new TGT cards.
Ugh. Opponent just had Eadric the Pure into Baron Geddon into Tirion Fordring. Not sure how I'm supposed to compete with that when I'm drawing garbage like Mad Scientist in Druid.
Feel free to add me if you play on NA! iMPose#1429
Playing with paladin... Turn 5, coined The Mistcaller. Turn 6 The Mistcaller. Opponent concedes XD
