Don't even understand the intention of this thread. It's a weekly brawl where blizzard and the players can experiment. Why do have to win this brawl every time? Why there are no possibilities to build a budget deck? The strength of cards is not always determined by it's rarity. Knife Juggler is Rare and probably better than some legendaries.

Use your brain for two minutes. There are tons of commons and rares that are great for the Brawl. A Mage with cheap AOE spells, secrets, and Ethereal Arcanist is pretty awesome. Questing Adventurer in any class, Scavenging Hyena + Unleash the Hounds in Hunter, Shaman with Unbound Elemental and all its Totem buffs. Then of course Owls to take away enemy buffs.

The Brawl is really about buffs, card draw, and silence/AoE removal. Sure some people will be able to build quick win combo decks with legendaries, but not everybody has them, and they will not get drawn into every game.

I think brawl is about being creative with what you have. Some legendaries does help a little on this instance, like Onyxia, Dr.Boom, and Baron Geddon. But it is so easy to board clear with bog standard cards that they don't really make a massive impact.

I'm enjoying it a lot and my best games haven't involved any random to get legendaries. (I use Brann and Nefarian, which are from adventures)

I've just had a game with Rumbling Elemental and 2 Ancient Brewmaster bouncing back and forth from my hand. Pinging for 2 for every mana I've got haha.

The power card for this brawl is Hobgoblin and he's an epic. There's also Knife Juggler who is just a rare. I don't think the brawl is broken. Sure if you play a Malygos deck you'll probably win, but brawls are for fun and I'm sure there are people out there who has a Malygos but doesn't play it coz it would be no fun.

The brawl is perfect for F2P accounts. You can smash people that play expensive minions by just playing good cheap common cards. Try somehting like this:

Tried it in brawl for several matches and won about 50%. Add any awesome rare/mythic/legendary you DO have and you are set.

I was skeptic of the brawl at first, but it is actually quite a decent concept this week. Better then the complete RNG fests we had in the past...

This brawl is brutal for F2P players as it is right now

 Moreso for new players than F2P. If you played since the beginning you should have all good legendaries by now.

Quote from Runehoof1 >>

There are so many common cards that are insanely good in this brawl. 

This brawl is brutal for newer F2P players as it is right now.

If this brawl gets repeated in the future the following changes would make it more enjoyable for newer F2P players, at least in my opinion:

All minions are 1/1s is a nice thing, however, the minion cost should have been modified by rarity:

- common/basic cards cost only 1 mana,

- rare cost 2,

- epic cost 3,

- legendaries 4

no more turn 2 death and the tradeoff for using higher rarity minions is interesting by itself (board control vs. effect value)

EDIT: saltiness reduced
