Fun brawl.  If you want predictability, play constructed.

Is it SO HARD to create Tavern Brawls that are both fun and intelligent?

We are on a streak of TBs that are either 100% RNG or completely not fun. 

This is the worst. Look at your opening hand. Either you have a winner or you just concede. Haven't played a single match that was a close battle. 

 You have entirely missed the point of Tavern Brawl.

I mean, I know it could be the things that you want it to be, but that's really, truly not why Blizzard created it.

Equally annoying are complaints about net decking.  Is it unoriginal, sure.  But you live in the era of the GD internet.  Its going to happen.  What do you accomplish by complaining about it?

If you play primarily for fun then Shifter Zerus is the best card in the game. 

This little guy is always great fun. I especially love it when I play him as a legendary from a different class. 

It's also surprising how often you can hold him until he morphs into exactly the right card for the current situation.

I would assume that the client's MMR system will typically not match someone new to the game with someone who has nearly every card since Naxx.

To me, as a somewhat new player that has been playing for the last few months, these Brawls are the absolute worst.ç

Brawl was supposed to let me have fun no matter what my card collection is, but yet, as in the Tavern Brawl, I depend on it.

Renounce Darkness is a fantastic card if you are playing for fun. I really enjoy having to think on the fly and make the best out of the crazy cards that I'm given. 

Sometimes you get destroyed. Last night I got Warrior and my entire hand filled with weapons. Awhile back I played it mid-game, got Priest and 3 Confessor Paletress. Had an absolute blast watching her summon random Legendaries. 

Here's a tip. If you care about winning a decent percentage of your Renounce Darkness games you have to build a deck that is optimized for it. You need a modified zoo type deck that will give you some minions on the board before you play RD. You also want to have a fairly large hand because the randomized cards you get after playing it rarely include any card draw.

Does this work with 1x Sea Giant and 2x Doomguard?

Hearthstone, as it is designed now, can't really evolve much unless entirely new and creative mechanics are added. For example they could add global spells that stay onboard and affect one or both sides over time. Or they could add cards that attach to other cards and buff them or make them immune for a time or give them a weapon or something.

The only new mechanic that WOG added was the C'Thun buffing effect. This is pretty cool but not very meaningful when it applies to one and only one card. I expected all of the old gods to have cards that buffed or impacted them in some way. 

But what most posters in this topic are talking about is just a differing mix of cards. That would be change but not evolution. 

Does Blizzard plan to ever create any new and interesting brawls?

I really expected a new brawl with an old gods theme coming right after the expansion. But I guess that's giving them too much credit.

I honestly believe this is the best expansion Blizzard ever released for HS. Been playing since beta.

Amazes me that everybody so readily accepts the massive RNG on purchased cards from a collectable card game where the whole point is that the cards are randomly distributed.

 Fixed your post.

Amazes me that everybody so readily accepts the massive RNG on purchased items.

This is a game where Legendaries have a huge impact. There's something not right about 2 players each spending fifty bucks on digital cards when one gets a single Legendary and the other gets five. 

I suppose there are psychological studies that show this entices many people to keep spending. Just like buying Lotto tickets. 

C'Thun decks are boring, even after just one day of play. Basically people play a set group of C'Thun class minions combined with a set group of C'Thun neutral minions. Then they attempt to buff C'Thun while stalling the game long enough for him to appear and kick ass. It's a really dull idea and offers little variety of play.

Blizzard is obsessed with the idea of attracting new players and making them feel strong right from the beginning. C'Thun reminds me of the recent WoW expansions that include an immediate character boost to max level. It's a gift to new players so they can make an easy to play and powerful deck right away. Unfortunately it also makes Hearthstone less engaging and stimulating than it should be.
