This brawl is the best since they introduced the mode! It is so much fun. You can use whatever class you like, you have to play with cards noone ever uses, and you simply have to make the best out of a given position. No shitty netdecks (I usually like netdecks, just not in brawl since it is a fun mode and it's bloody boring if everyone just uses always the same decks), no tempomages, no need for a big card pool to chose from (they choose from the big card pool for you) - it's just great. Sure, RNG is still a thing, but not more than in the other brawls, in particular not more than last week.
Disclaimer: I liked the last week's brawl the second most...

This deck is complete garbage, don't play this.

Oh well I've had my fun with the new expansion I guess. Back to civ 5 lol.
Hearthstone is such a bad game. I mean. Yeah don't know what to say about it. Being behind on board leaves you completely out of options almost immediately and you're no longer really playing.
Since this happens in about half the games, you're really playing only half the time. Your deck choice mostly decides what happens, then draw, then RNG and THEN decisions.
That's the complete reverse of what it should be but.. Yeah. They don't really make any attempts to stop this.
Just any win-more card needs to go, hearthstone cannot support them. Flametongue totem, lyra, fledgling, ragnaros, ysera, frothing berserker. All those types of cards that give a big bonus way over their mana cost turn after turn but only if they randomly survive... They need to go away.
The Death Knight cards are a neat idea, but how long before people get pretty sick of them? At least their bonuses aren't completely out of control like Flametongue totem. That's just an example of a card that instantly snowballs into a victory. Pure trash.
But whatever they won't ever do any of this and the game will become shit 2-3 days after every expansion, at least for me, as I realize that I'm not really playing a game, I'm just completing quests and then rage quitting lol.
If they deleted my account tomorrow I'd never play again, basically. That's just the sign that a game isn't really a game, it's more just .... a big number that people put work into day after day.
I mean that's how we get ya with mobile games and account nowadays but it doesn't make a game.. not suck dongers :D

Just concede, it only helps you. The more you lose, the more you get matched against bad ( aka fun ) decks and the more you actually get to play "casual".
The more you win, the more you just play against tryhards. thanks blizzard

I mean that's how they designed the game.
Whoever is ahead snowballs by getting more and more ahead, which replicate MTG's dismal "mana screw" mechanic and favors aggro.
And then you can ignore minions if they don't have taunt, which again massively favors aggro. They sort of caught on to this ( after like 3 years, they're not smart ) and stopped making charge minions and they try to make more defensive taunts, so that's decent.
Tar Creeper is a great card for example. It's very strong defensively but it can't be used to push a board advantage and to snowball.
They designed themselves into a corner by letting minions trade. Either you make it about value, which results in shitty mana screw situation every single game for whichever player is behind on turn 3-4, or they don't make it about value, which results in aggro and bursting strategies.
The only alternative is to make overpowered board clears which, again, are extremely unfun. It forces the aggro player to rush into it and then the game is all about a coin toss, just like it was with Reno.
I kind of like the latest set but the game is severly lacking in interactivity. It's simply too hard to deal with things and too easy to snowball any minor advantage into a crushing win.

"If it lives one turn, you're probably dead".
this is the kind of card Blizzard shouldn't design.
Just played against Lyra. Again. This is one of those cards that has to be answered right away. Just like Fledgling in arena. At least they understood that for arena, but for constructed they're a little slow to catch on.
The game isn't fun when you can just YOLO a card that auto-wins if it doesn't die right away.
This makes Priest a problem because they can just drop Lyra and maybe you kill it, maybe you lose right away.
It's just shitty. It's a fun card but it's too clunky in design and frustrating to play against.

No losses from 20 to 13. Should go sleep now.
Yeah Ultimate Infestation combined with jade is..not fair.
Your list also doesn't have 2 innervates for some reason. That's a huge omission, add that in ASAP, it's extremely important to the deck in ramping to the infestation or letting you play something after you draw. This deck also never runs out of cards so the speed boost and flexibility against any deck is just really strong.

Back after 2 months for free arena. Still the same old shit.
Adapt can still give poisonous. For some idiot reason.
Mind control tech still in the game.
All arenas still the same 3 classes.
Still common as rewards at high wins.
But I hear fledgling got a minor occurence debuff so. That's good!
So sick of the slow rate of change. Every damn time I hear Ben Brode's fat face open up to talk, he's got a promised solution to every problem that's just been dragging on and on for years. Hey fuckhead, actually DO IT. Stop "looking into it" and "thinking about it" and saying "We're tried it".
No just fix it. Just send one email to Kripp and he'll give you the list of changes and you can do it over the weekend, you lazy idiots. Lol.

There should be no cards of the class in the decks. It ruins it. Not only does it insert randomly worthless cards in there, it also makes it impossible to play around anything correctly.
For instance this game, mage guy just randomly got Ice Block. It was in his deck, it was given to him. He wins. Nothing I can do. The spirit of the brawl is that he shouldn't have that card.
Sigh. Oh well. Only like a level 3 fuckup this time blizzard lol.

The "have a free fight promoter" thing kind of hints to both, once again. What is the relevance of that? Who knows. No one ever wanted this or asked for it, but they spent time making this feature lol.
They are so ridiculously dumb and terrible I really wish they fired all of them and replaced them with literally anyone. They are the Donald Trumps of game design. Somehow their name became a really big brand, but at the core of it is juts a shallow intellect that fewer and fewer people are understanding to be secretly genius.

Hearthstone is weird in this way that it has cards that care about "the graveyard", like N'Zoth, Yogg Sauron or Onyx Bishop, but you have no way to see what cards died during the game. Wait, I said "weird" when I meant "badly designed in almost every way" lol.
But good thing there's an upcoming MASSIVE UPDATE that will let you copy/paste decks and like... yeah that's about it. Finally after 3 years they fixed the most MAJOR flaw of their game lol. Man I hate them.
