Here's why this is one of my FAVORITE brawls: It requires skill
Basically, this brawl is arena, but you craft your deck as you go. That means you adapt your deck on the fly to the board situation. Furthermore, you know your players starting hand and any cards they draw, so you can adjust even further.
If you think arena is all random and luck, then I guess you think this is all luck too. If you do well in arena, then you should do well here. Right now I have a 8-2 record. I used to bang this brawl out for my easy gold back before progression track. The only downside is that it takes a little longer to battle due to the discover mechanic.
TIPS:
- Best class to play is Demon Hunter followed by Rogue. Why? Because the entire first turns are usually 2/3 monsters, and you can ping off that last 1 health with hero power and win board control early.
- Going second is actually best here . Always coin out a 2/3 on turn 1 and another 2/3 on turn 2. Go face unless you can kill off the opponents 2/3 (ie, not worth leaving at 2/1 for a turn). You usually win board control.
- When picking cards, your first 4 turns are most likely all set, so you should be looking at 4+ mana cards. But, like arena draft, value is most important here. Good arena cards are good brawl cards. Take bigger stats, "fast" cards like rush or immediate damage, cards that are hard to remove, etc.
- Weigh card generation as extremely valuable. You can't draw any good cards, so the only way to get more than one "good" card per turn is card generation. Discover, get random cards, etc. Don't bother with card draw as it only gives you another 2/3.

I went 0-3 with this deck but I had nothing playable for the first 4 turns for each game and all 3 games ended up being close. The deck seems to compete well against the decks I played though (zoo and spell hunter x2) .

Just started using this decklist but instead of Garosh I'm running Leeroy. I'm finding the extra burst a lot more useful.
Strongly considering dropping the Slam for a Kor'kron, Cruel Taskmaster (another activator would be nice after dropping Garosh). second ooze or Zilliax (in that order) not really finding the slam too useful and I'm getting a lot of card draw from Battle Rage.
I want to try running Sul'thraze as well but not sure how well it'll fit in.

Don't play priest, the deck is terrible in comparison to the other classes with some matchups just being an insta loss.
