All of what follows is my own opinion:
So, I've been around Hearthstone since the beginning, and one thing that's never changed is that any time something costs money, the floodgates open, and a deluge of complaints descend upon every hearthstone forum in existence. I have never understood the juxtapositioning of "I don't want to spend money" with "I want to be competitive." These two philosophies simply do not go together.
This is also true in other forms of competition. If you play tennis, for example, hard work and practice will get you most of the way there, but players who spend on the best rackets, the best shoes, and the best coaching will have a significant advantage over those who do not. My personal belief is that what SOME of these perennial complainers really mean is "I don't want to spend money, but I DESERVE to be competitive." This way of thinking belongs in the trash can with other phrases of the entitled such as "I don't want to study, but deserve an A+" and "I don't want to work, but deserve to be wealthy."
You are NOT entitled to free gaming, and if that's what you desire, there are plenty of games where you can do just that (including some of the game modes of Hearthstone, by the way) not to mention that there are legitimate players who grind daily and DO NOT spend money, but instead sacrifice their time, in order to get what they need to stay competitive.
So, in conclusion, if you don't want to put in the time OR the money, then what are you even complaining about?
TL/DR: You can't be competitive without sacrifice, so if you aren't sacrificing anything, stop complaining about it being unfair.

On paper this looks more challenging than the Monster Hunt. 1 week to find out, I guess.

Well no offense, but that makes no sense. It sounds like wanting to have one’s cake and eat it too. You can't have everything. "Fun" decks are proven to have lower WR, rather than strategically built "cancer" decks. You either risk it with some insane combos, or you decide to bank on some overpowering synergies.
And also, just because I see this argument thrown a lot lately, why should I care about other people's view of the game? Extreme example: I want to get 12 wins with minimal effort. I don't see people conceding to accommodate me. So why should I care that other people are inhibited by my deck choice?

Rogue is a solid choice. At the very least based on stats, it can get you your Gold value back.
Also, I don't understand the hate towards these decks. Everyone who participates in the brawl is in there to win, not to promote a deck build or diversity. If it gets them 12 wins (or wins in general), of course they are going to try it.

Not sure how I feel about this. I am glad for him but it feels like the Hearthstone team that we got introduced to over the years keeps draining out.
Just a thought but, is there a possibility Blizzard will outsource the Hearthstone game to Second Dinner?

Good point, but I said "it looks", not "it feels"

Seek'em is my choice just 'cause it looks Rexxar-y enough

What an upbeat and positive dude! Really enjoy watching him, no matter the content!

Since the usability of cards goes up and down depending of what the meta looks like, statements like this article, before even 1 week in the new expansion has gone by, are not to be trusted.

The amount of people who don't realize this Brawl is about co-operation is staggering.
Pretty sure my last partner was trying to attack my hero for his full turn, till he timed out.
