A Less Friendly Game of Chess is This Week's Brawl!
Things have gotten a little underhanded at Medivh's Magical Chessboard. Bring 6 unique cards and hide them under the table, they could swing the match in your favor!
Trivia
- This is a brand new brawl!
- The brawl comes to us from the One Night in Karazhan Chess Boss.
- A Friendly Game of Chess was a similar version of this brawl but did not allow for deckbuilding.
- This brawl uses the Wild format so all playable cards can be used.
How it Works
- Build a deck using six cards. No duplicates are allowed.
- You will be given either the White King or Black King. Your health is 20, the heroes are the same.
- Most chess pieces cannot attack normally. They automatically hit minions or heroes that are directly in front of them.
- Your hero power allows you to Discover a chess piece.
- Positioning is key. You'll get the best value if your minions are between his as they will hit two targets instead of one.
- Unlike other versions of Chess we can play, your 6 cards are put into your deck and can help you out!
Discuss this Week's Brawl
Head on over to the discussion thread on our forums for this week's brawl.
If you want to play minion buffs, play this deck I made!
Wow I am trash at this Brawl. Currently 1-7 with 5 different decks and nothing is working aside from a lucky Arcanite Reaper + Heroic Strike combo after getting lucky with some good chess draws. Oh well pack in hand so we'll see what next week brings!
Inner Priest for the win
Try this! You have to first get some what of a board build up, but then Wailing Soul + buffs for a big burst turn.
I'll give it a go.
Me: Explosive Runes
Opponent: White Knight, concede.
We're nearing halfway point of 2018, and Blizzard said that they're planning on releasing the tournament beta some time in the middle of 2018, so maybe. We're also (probably) a month or two away from the next expansion announcement, which might be when we'll see an update regarding the tournament mode.
Oh look, another brawl infested with Inner Fire priests!
Don’t play skelemancer it bugs tavern brawl match forcing you to disconnect and not being able to load back in to your match .
Just played Skelemancer and it won my game, no disconnect issues here.
Its a mobile issue. Has been for a few weeks
Paladin: Equality + Consecration or Avenging Wrath, then all your pieces go face.
May this be a hope for a "restricted tournament" mode, when the host can decide which cards are banned.
They've done this before, but usually when a card is banned from the brawl it just doesn't show up. I like the fact that they leave it in there so you aren't freaking out thinking it's not showing because of a bug, or worse, got deleted from your account.
It just reminded me of the nightmare part of heroic Karazhan.
Heroic Chess was exceedingly painful. Heroic Free Medivh! was the only thing that I found worse.
When my opponent has the board,
Mossy Horror FTW!
I had a genius idea, Evolve and Thrall, Deathseer. Apparently no.
lucky my opponent got brain malfunction, concede on turn 2 :)
Are all DKs banned? All cards that change your hero power?
Answer: DKs yes. Dinomancy, Shadowform, no.
