Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our brawl forums to talk about this week's brawl in our dedicated thread.
Man, HS designer has to be the job with the worst skill to money earned ratio. I never thought that there's a job besides politics where you can be clueless and make a shitton of money
Btw swarm is definitely the best option. Pretty much win every game by turn 3 or 4, with a board full of aggressive minions xD You would think Blizzard would hire at least one employee to put on balance testing...
I never could have expected that blizzard would make a brawl worse than unstable portals and web spinners. From here on out I'll keep in mind that it can always get worse.
Really though, what happened to that several month long streak of incredible new brawls a year or two ago? Why'd we have to fall back to a different crossroads every month?
ARE YOU FUF FAK??
time for meme priest
Wow that's a... lot of dust xD
I did expect the caliber of product delivered for the Diablo anniversary. I guess the devs are too busy making more stupid horseshit like Corridor Creeper, and figuring out how to keep Anduin great for the next expansion.
Oh yeah! Skull of the Man'ari in the first pack! =) Now I can play cubelock!
Welcome, my bruda.
Every single opponent, they kill 1 minion "wow.... wow.... wow...." and then they proceed to rope every turn. Making 5 minute games take 30 minutes, classic hearthstone players.
This is a amazing brawl!!! by amazing I mean three free pack…… the brawl it self is lazy I was hoping for some starcraft thing. turns out it is just a better randomium
Maybe blizz is just simply busy, because of the incomming expansion or smth like that. They compensated the shit brawl with card packs.
is there some sort of rock paper scissors with the deck options that would be nice to know when i am going second?
Guys guys, let me tell you exciting news:
I opened the pack which I got from this brawl
and my pity timer procced and I got a Legendary card!
I will keep you posted on the rest of the procs which happen on packs giveaways!
why would you post that you got a legendary if you wont tell us what it is?
Just the usual clown fiesta but with triple the prize and Starcraft in the title...
I'm ready to get downvoted into oblivion by fanboys lol
Was looking forward to this special brawl.... Blizzard, return those feelings, LOL.
Mind portal is seriously broken!
Compared to tech portal, where you get random mechs (which nobody really synergizes with), with mind portal I keep seeing people pull Prophet Velen and Archmage Antonidas! Super OP for spellcasters.
I have been having fun with Paladin + Tech Portal. Currently 6-1 with my loss to a Priest + Mind Portal. Lots of minion buffs and *gasp* synergizing mechs. Gazlowe + the portal cards was a particularly fun one.
Feels good.
One game one win and I got Kathrena Winterwisp in one pack.
