I might be the only one that enjoyed this brawl.

My strategy: Use a hero with a hero power that can hit the face Hunter/Mage/Druid/Rogue.  General rules:

1. Play on curve.

2. If you have a minion you want to kill another with or hit face, do that before playing any new minions.

3. If you are ahead by some luck and can do a lot of damage, hit face.

4. If you are ahead, play fewer minions - such as one on curve - to prevent RNG issues. If you are ahead by a lot, don't even play a minion that turn. Hit face with minion and hero power.

5. If you are behind, say on turn 8, play as many low cast minions as you can and see what happens. See what random spell happens each time before adding more. I've seen both characters healed to max multiple times, as well as clearing the entire board too.

I've probably played this brawl 30-40 times.  I've gotten both a turn 1 CoTW and had that go against me. Don't take it too seriously.

I use 1 tracking card, only after 5+ if needed.

Turn 9 if you know you hava CoTW left in your deck somewhere, well...

Still happening. Tried Chrome, tried Firefox. always happens.

I keep updating My Collection through the website(I can't use Innkeeper, I have a Mac at home) and lately when I save it shows correctly - but then if I navigate back my changes are lost. Anyone else having this issue?

I ended up playing Warlock with a combination of 2 forbidden rituals, 2 darkshire councilmans, my 1 knife juggler, power overwhelming(never used it), every draw card I could find, Stormwind champion, some bigger taunts and the heavier C'Thun buffs(Sekram, Doomcaller)(along with C'Thun) and won my first match.

I'm done.

Any tips for somebody who has only played a month or so and just wants to win once for the pack?

 And now i'm playing the dreaded aggresive shaman with bloodlust and the 4 mana cost 7/7 from WoG along with a Thing From Below that has taunt and costs 1 less for each totem previously summoned.

Don't hate me. Just trying to earn some coins and buy some packs.

Makes sense thank you.

Lots of people have said it, but I have to reiterate. Classic is the best value for a new player until you have a good collection. Then I'd get the first wing of BRM, all of LoE, and then get some WOG packs to throw together a decent C'thun deck. It's not impossible to get 100g a day if you are lucky with your dailies, and always reroll the 40g ones. The only time you don't want to do that is if you have synergy between them. Like, if you have one to win 2 with mage or priest, and another to win 5 with priest, all you have to do is win 5 with priest and you've got a good chunk of gold. 

Thanks again everyone. I have a direction. It was really helpful as there isn't an easy "to get started" type of page, at least not one that I found.

Yeah I don't have to be great with the standard recommended priest deck I found, just better than all the other new people.

Thanks everyone. I need to get a character to level 20 to get tavern brawl open and the rest of my base characters to 10.

BRM costs 700 gold to start, and I only have 415. I'm guessing each fo the 5 areas within BRM cost gold to start, and as a new player with 415, 700*500 sounds like a lot!

I doubt in the packs I've opened that the game gave me I've gotten anything that rare, but is there any way to keep track of what you have so you have some idea how good or bad the cards you have are?

I tried arena once, and went 0-3 mostly due to having no idea how to construct a good pack I think. I overinvested in costly cards that you have to wait too long to use.

I'm sorry if this has a similar post to elsewhere.

I started playing casually last week and am lost on how to proceed, mostly with how I should use gold.

I have 415 gold. Levelled up Mage/Paladin/Priest past level 10, I plan to finish the rest in practice mode soon. I used Priest to earn the 5 Whispers of the Old Gods packs for 7 wins once I reviewed a basic Priest setup and battle theory.  I won 4/5 in casual today with that setup, only lost to a Paladin with some murloc change cards that I knew I'd not last against.

What should I do with the gold? Buy packs - if so which ones? Buy adventures - if so which one?  I did the auto disenchant, and haven't even though about what to do with the arcane dust(140, which I'm guessing isn't much).

I'm not looking to spend money in the game yet, I just enjoy playing lightly right now and learning. Any advice would be appreciated.
