Head on over to our brawl forums to talk about this week's brawl in our dedicated thread.
And you're a pirate warrior player who's got cancer? Eye for an eye
Here we go again...
can·cer
noun
"most skin cancers are curable"
As someone who's had cancer, fuck off with your over-sensitivity
They couldn't even change the Portal cards' art... We got 3 packs, which is nice but man did they overhype this.
got Kathrena Winterwisp from my brawl packs, at least it wasn't like the other 3 packs blizz gave
Yet another "get lucky on random card generation or get rekt" tavern brawl. Lame and annoying in my opinion.
It's not a bad brawl, but sometimes RNG just fucks me, and I can't do shit. I had a nice a board, my opponent had a Violet Wurm. Next turn he played Dreadscale and Demonwrath, then on the 7 1/1s, he casted Evolving Spores for +3 attack.
Well..... Fuck.
I'm happy about the 3 free packs, but this brawl has nothing to do with Starcraft, just old brawl random clown fiesta.
I agree, compared to the Diablo anniversary brawl this was very very lackluster im creativity. 1 win and I'm done.
Was really excited for something special...what a shame. This is just a variant RNG fest. Got my win 2nd attempt. Didn't feel like any sort of skill was involved in either game.
So dissapointed: Its basically random encounter on crossroads. Who gets Ysera and co for 6 mana via spell or tentacle for arms....the random cardpools are so badly balanced that its a complete coin toss who wins this brawl, one of the worst brawls they ever made imo.
Nice Brawl! My first game was as Valeera with Mind cards VS Jayna using Swarm. Got Lyra the Sunshardearly on and she totally stabbed me in the back with only card draw and steal cards. Anyhoo, won and in the last of the three packs, the last card was a Golden Twig of the World Tree :D
One of the worst brawls I had ever played. Honestly.
Same here, i guess thats why it's 3 packs to compensate for the lack of effort. TERRIBLE.
This brawl feels nothing like Starcraft, just a bunch of random existing cards in 3 unimagenary categories. The idea is nice but it feels like a lazy execution.
Best. Brawl. Ever.
Played a game with Paladin + Mind Portal. Got Ysera, Lyra the Sunshard, Mind Control etc. from the portal. I started with a hand full of secrets, which turned out to be a great combo with Lyra.
There's a strong RNG component in this brawl, but seems that class + type of portal can also have some synergy.
Another retarded RNG Cart Trash brawl
If for some reason you are having trouble getting a win. I am pretty sure the tech portal is OP. Played with it and rouge a few times and never even came close to losing. Maybe lucky though...
Same here. easy win, without any sweat.
I first played warlock, but you're not using the lifetap anyway.
