The Tavern Brawl - Duel of the Death Knights
The DKs have all come out to celebrate Days of the Frozen Throne. Choose a class and you'll get a random deck and start out as a Death Knight.
- This is a brand new brawl!
- You'll pick your class and be given a premade deck containing loads of Frozen Throne cards.
- Your hero starts off as the Death Knight of your chosen class.
- Winning the brawl gets you a Classic Pack! What a missed opportunity.
Don't forget who your Death Knights are!
It's auto lose vs Guldan, Jaina, Druid and Garrosh. But it's good for trading wins with friends.
Won all my matches against Jaina by using Gul'dan. Mulligan away any 1-health minions, and keep any area-of-effects or board clears. If you draw 1-health minions, keep them in your hand and play a bunch of them in the same turn (preferably after a board clear) so you overwhelm the opponent's hero power.
Why happy ghoul though
So more people would play Zoo. There's apparently not enough of it.
Because it's happy?
So you play jaina?
All they way Warrior, had 2 quests for him and rest for brawl. Easy wins, opponents only mages all time.
The Tavern brawl design doesn't make any sense, given the DK Mana cost difference and it's battlecry nerf.
Here is what I think would balance out the brawl:
1) Start the brawl at 10 Mana crystals, with the hero class DK already deployed
2) Arena draught a complete deck of cards, minus a slot for the class DK card (to be able to play the battlecry)
3) Allow any class to draught any class's legendary weapon.
Now this Jainafest would be fair (and hella fun)!!
Went 5-0 with paladin against 5 Jainas. Rush em’ down and don’t drop anything with 1 health.
Yeah, figured it would. Never saw a mage with the god 0 drop draw (it feels weird saying that). I think many mulliganned or played badly. Like they dropped a 1 mana 1 health creature on turn 1. I killed it with my sword and they never made an elemental till it was too late.
It's randomized decks and that is a huge factor even in the mirror.
Garbage Brawl. Garbage Decks. Garbage experience. Blizzard yet again never fails to disappoint. Seems like they are too busy counting money instead of putting any effort into this game.
I won't claim that they put much effort into this event. But claiming they do not put effort in HS is bullshit.
Won the first game in a Lock vs Rogue game, then switched to Jaina for the 5-win mission, and got a 5-0 score (all games against other Jaina)! At least the Jaina mirror is not much luck based, and instead it requires a good amount of planning, even pinging your own minions if there's nothing better, to avoid your opponent from getting a lethal ping on their own turn! :)
Other heroes that aren't so focused on the hero power alone, however, provide a much worse experience, given the complete random nature of the deck lists; I even got weapon-sinergy minions with no-weapon clasees!!
I actually like Jaina mirrors - they feel like chess games :D 3 out of 4 went into fatigue with both of us trying to get the upper hand every single turn :D
Seconded. Even with the random decks, Jaina mirrors actually feel like a contest of skill, considering that you have to consider your options carefully to give yourself Water Elementals to control the board, while preventing the opponent from doing the same thing. Yes, it's a grind-fest, but you really have to earn your wins.
i was lucky, that a friend was online, who helped finishing that "win 5 of THIS VERY Tavern Brawls".
i understand, that you usually should show some effort and invest some time to get 300 gold, but srsly Blizzard: NotLikeThis
What an exciting tavern brawl!

I can beat Jaina without playing Jaina.
