The First Co-Op Tavern Brawl!

Hearthstone's first Co-Op Tavern Brawl, Unite Against Mechazod, went live today. The brawl features Uther and Anduin who go head to head against Gearmaster Mechazod, an incredibly annoying Mechano-Gnome. The decks you're playing with have synergy with each other, which can prove to be tough when playing with randoms through the Tavern Brawl function.

Your best luck in winning the brawl will be by playing with friends, which we can confirm was more fun and allowed for some great discussion of strategy. If you and your friend are having issues, try out the following:

• Keep both sides of the field filled with minions, but never reach a full board on either side. Gearmaster doesn't like that.
• Don't run your little guys into Gearmaster, it just ends up giving him less targets to hit with Bomb Salvo.
• Uther has Lorewalker Cho in his deck which will die shortly after it is summoned due to Kill the Lorewalker.
• Try to combo Lorewalker when Anduin has Light of the Naaru. This will give both of you a Lightwarden which gains silly amounts of stats with all the healing that is contained by both players.
• Anduin will want to save Garrison Commander for later on, to buff up those Lightwardens!
• Uther has tons of ways to toss out Divine Shields, so be sure to use them to protect your most important minions! This can end up saving you from Prioritize.

Don't forget though, win or lose, when playing through the find-a-random-dude-you-cant-speak-with function of Tavern Brawls, you will get your free Classic Pack just for trying it out.. even if you concede.

Aggro Druid Deck Analysis

In tonight's "Deck Spotlight" we're doing things a little bit different. KRUPSSTONE, one of our Deck Architects, has put together an analysis on aggro druid rather than a straight up deck guide. As far as aggro decks go, KRUPS believes aggro druid is the deck to beat and it's quite possibly one of the best overall decks in the game.

Baseline the deck is 4300 dust, but based on tech choices, it can change either way. You can find the subject deck of the analysis below, but make sure to head on over to the full deck guide to learn more.
