Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to the forums to discuss this brawl!
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT PICK HUNTER. The heropower is a joke, I'm at my 7th loss in a row because it gives my opponent free legendaries every turn and it gives me random 1 mana spells. Really unfun.
Edit: I'm at my 10th loss in a row now, I gave King Krush for 0 mana turn 1 to my opponent once, the following opponent who was the evolve heropower I gave a 0 mana turn 2 dopplegangster...
Honestly Blizzard really messed up, my heropower is always worse than my opponent's because he also has one.
Edit 2: I finally won my first game after 12 losses, got Gallywix on turn 2 against Togwaggle and he still almost won when he dropped 33/37 worth of stats on turn 4 with the boots, Curse of Rafaam saved me. Next time please Blizzard give a random card only to the hunter and make it something like -3 mana because giving both players a 0 mana card is just bad. Also, thanks for the downvote.
I'm actually 7-1 with Hunter. Pretty fun.
I guess you're luckier than me then. It was honestly impossible to win those games as my heropower kept giving me bad cards and good cards to my opponents. The minions in the deck were just not enough to do anything.
Gotta love people downvoting because I have a different opinion, though. Keep downvoting guys, you're just proving my point lol.
ya know thats the point of downvoting right?
god damnit druid is broken even in the brawls
Druid is not Razorgore, Druid is NEW King Toggwaggle with Candle and what not...
Togwaggle himself isn’t broken. In fact, most of the cards in his deck is just trash. But I do admit cards like “wax rager” and “wish” are just insane
Razorgore isn't in this brawl anymore. It's King Togwaggle.
Also, how come this isn't on the hearthpwn front page?
Most Tavern Brawls aren't on the front page, don't see why this one would be.
For me this Brawl was complete and utter trash.
First time I get Putricide (free Secrets) vs the Taunt on your Hero.
Get utterly 100% destroyed. Can't do shit.
Second time I get the Slime Hero (Grobbulous something) vs the Chessboard Hero.
Get utterly 100% destroyed because his minions auto-attack and nuke everything. Can't do shit with the 1/2 Slime that copies itself when everything just takes 2 or 4 damage each turn. I tried playing into positioning the minions correctly but my opponent can just play against that.
Third time I get the T-Rex boss (both players get a random card changed to 0 mana) vs a Hero that casts Evolve on the entire board at the end of each turn. I get 0 mana Tyrantus (10 mana for the Evolve thingy) and faceroll my opponent 100% and he can't do shit.
At first I genuinely thought random Hero powers would be fun. Instead it's a complete and utter 100% - 0% RNG fest.
I can imagine nearly all Heroes getting utterly curb stomped by the Taunt or Chessboard Hero purely by virtue of their board state.
Maybe I'm just annoyed that the first two tries were complete and utter annihilation and the third one was as well just in my favor that time.
I was expecting to at least be able to get past Turn 5 in three games. Meh. Dislike.
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with people being so positive about Togwaggle. He is pretty good, but for all the wrong reasons. His main win condition is dumb luck. His deck is not all that great, but the hero power can turn the game at pretty much any given point no matter how hopeless the situation is, which makes him so frustrating in Dungeon Run, and here as well. If they wanted to add an RNG-Boss, Xol would have been a better choice in my opinion.
And the Curator is still pretty damn bad, outside of his one sort of good matchup (Naz'jar). Would have been nice if he was replaced by something from Witchwood maybe.
I'm glad Sindragosa was nerfed, but maybe a bit too much. She just feels very unspecial now.
The best part of this brawl is without a doubt winning, adding the person you just beat, and telling them he's been playing checkers while I've been playing chess for years as the White King.
Holy shit this is pretty fun. Togwaggle does tevern brawl rng correctly, but at the same time, isn't OP like sindragosa was in the last iteration.
Druid is so fun! check out what my RNG gave me this game:
I actually think this rendition is pretty balanced. Sindragosa’s been nerfed, and togwaggle is a welcome addition. The kobold king is nowhere near as strong as you’d think, considering the deck he has to work with and the cost of his hero power + treasures.
Yeah I just rolled over Toggwaggle with Sindragosa
Grobbulus mirrors feel like playing 4D chess
Played as Mage (Curator), got Mal'Ganis from the "summon a random demon" card I played on turn 4, opponent conceded.
I got that too. That was so funny lmao
They're bad then. When you're immune your minions become targetable. They could have just killed him.
