Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our brawl forums to talk about this week's brawl in our dedicated thread.
Ya I think the only reason I used rogue is for mimic pod into portal if the game went on long enough.
Even if i have to play against a retard IA, Diablo's tavern brawl was a way better, at least there was thematic cards, i was hoping for some sc characters in the brawl, blizzard lost the chance to do a great one here
Must've taken a lot of work changing the color on unstable portal for those amazing starcraft themed cards
Starcraft is one of their only "Pay" games. Which is what I liked about it. I have to say they have been slowly trying to kill the game it seems. I have played the Starcraft since it was "Orcs in Space" on a floppy disk. But they try to push too much stuff and mess the balance all up. Seeing them, throw this "Anniversary" together only matches the lackluster way they have been treating the game itself over the last few years. It seems that Overwatch is the new baby, I have no idea why that game is so popular. But they couldn't even skin a few cards or release a new card back. It's sad, but I do like Hearthstone and its where I spend most of my time now.
Ugh so far lost 7 games in a row love RNG brawls. There was a reason I skipped last week because I couldn't win that either.
Saying this brawl is bad is a huge understatement. One person gets all random good big minion on the cheap and their opponent gets discounted murlocs all game. I mean seriously can players get at least some balanced cards?
What a disappointment. I thought we could play with special Starcraft cards in Hearthstone, but *surprise* it's another RNG brawl with random crappy cards...
Well this brawl was a fucking disappointment. I expected Starcraft themed cards, just like the Dark Wanderer got Diablo themed cards. God dammit Blizzard.
At least this will be the only day I can post this:
Wouldn't it be awesome to drop your legendary Raynor, Tassadar, and Kerrigan???
Honestly? Not my favorite brawl... It's really not that different from the cart crash...
But hey, three packs, so nothing to complain about there. I actually got a Legendary out of it (......the crappy Hunter weapon of course)!
"Crappy"? Spell Hunter is a very successful deck right now.
Successfull maybe. But the weapon is too crappy even for its own archetype, since Barnes + Y'shaarj is better.
You could have got Runespear.
Did someone say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?
So disapointed with rthis week´s brawl, it´s just a RNGclowfiesta feelsbadman
Really boring brawl... This is really disappointing
you know this couldve been cool...but that RNG is always i kick in the pants...
Dammit crossroads feels..
