Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our brawl forums to talk about this week's brawl in our dedicated thread.
I actually liked this brawl !
but it may be because I got kinda lucky, I played mage 5 times for the quest and won them all, 2 of which I had Mana Wyrm in the opening hand
It seems to me like mage and mind are a good combination.
I did try tech and swarm though, and swarm seemed to be the worst.
Gah... Took me 4 games to get a win (but I finished 2 quests along the way so it was not so bad) and in the three packs I got the staple 3 rares and 4... Oaken Summons. Oh, joy.
Eh, I was kinda fun... not fun was ANOTHER 120 dust from 3 pack... I know, I know... but my pity timer is really dragging with KaC right now and its driving me crazy!
I found the twist on this Brawl ok. You win through RNG, that's all. That being said, I won after 3 tries and pulled Grumble, Worldshaker in one of the 3 packs.
Pretty sweet all in all :)
Mr. Random :BlessRNG:
Another shit-tier RNG fest
Pick rogue/mind for easy wins tho
The more I play, the more I'm hating the RNG.
Why am I getting dead cards like Call to Arms, Small-Time Recruits, Holy Wrath, etc as a Paladin?
This current game is the first one I'm playing that Call to Arms worked, and I got Vilefin Inquisitor and Drygulch Jailor lol
Nothing but sadness, and 120 dust.
I expected the brawl to have some unique non-collectable cards combined with existing HS cards. I was disappointed in the brawl because of this.
the have no time for making themed cards
the are balancing upcoming expansion, so there will be several OP Epic cards everyone will have to play in first 4 months up to the next expansion. Also a broken tempo deck required and some simple-combo or luck based deck to rekt all the control decks.
It had so much potential. So sad to see the sc 20 anniversary brawl another RNG brawl.
Pulled a Golden Dragoncaller Alanna and 2 other golden cards
There goes my luck for the New year LOL
Lucky bastard! Alanna is one of the best golden cards in KaC!
each set has its own pitty timer, so good thing you got good cards in this set before the next set comes out and you stop getting kobolds.
1st pack finally got rekt'dellar, 3rd pack got temporas! not badf!
Found shit in packs as usual, but at least was free shit, so it's ok I guess
Got Woecleaver. I'm happy :)
Get a Skulking Geist from a unstable portal ( g&g) free win in turn 4
I wish people would stop using the word "cancer" when discussing video games. Cancer is a serious illness and affects a lot of people.
