The Fight
- The Headless Horseman starts off with 30 Health. His hero power, Slash, deals random damage to your side of the field.
- Many of the cards in the Headless Horseman's deck are able to deal AoE damage to you - gross!
- After defeating the Headless Horseman, he removes his head (Headless Horseman's Head), a 2/35 minion.
- His head deals 2 damage randomly split to your side of the field at the start of each of his turns.
- Destroying the head, as indicated on the card text, wins you the game.

Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our dedicated discussion thread over on our Tavern Brawl forum.
I'm pretty sure your list is off. I think it's almost factual that the best deck by far is pirate. Ez clap with pirate. You just have to have a minion on the board before those stupid pumpkins start hitting the board. Or get lucky with your ships cannon. Cat seems meh, less highroll potential but just more solid cards. The witch seems the worst. It's all highroll for the witch. In hard dungeon run or tavern brawl battles the key is always a mix of consistent cards and high roll because the only way you can get through unfair advantages is high rolls.
If you got lucky and ez clapped with pirate, awesome for you. Took me 5 tries and I was the one who got clapped 5 times. I'm pretty sure there was nothing I could do about it all 5 times, since I didn't happen to get lucky, like you mentioned.
Played cat.
Got Chameleos from infest. It promptly turned into Fear from opponents hand. Played Fear, killing 6 minions, including the head of the horseman. GG horseman.
Nearly lost. Suddenly got Acid Maw. GGWP
I hate this brawl... Stop wasting my time Blizzard and just give me a pack...
So you spend your time playing a child's game? Are you a child?
Most of us are. I'm A 35 year old one
2 tries: lost with witch and won with pirate. Not playing again...
Hilarious, right? Can’t beat AI in a children’s card game, so come here to whine and downvote people who aren’t triggered. There’s some strange ones amongst us alright..
One and done first game with Pirates, don’t see what all the fuss is about?
So, I had the win 3 brawls quest today and figured it should be one win for each "class". As you can guess, it took a while, but it is doable:
Cat was the first win and I felt it was kind of the easiest but as always with a little bit of luck.
Infest can do wonders for you here, playing on curve and hope for big minons from infest: https://hsreplay.net/replay/yj25De8ZpnAPRKR6h359xK
Pirate next, this is the hardest one IMHO, everything need to work out here. Cannon on turn 2 is the best opener unless you have patches in hand. Cookie can be play at 5 attack to force him to use P-Word Death. Weapons and Captian did seal the deal: https://hsreplay.net/replay/it6GmiJ2zz3oCoWRhLxKWj
Witch was my last because I read it was the easiest, but well it isn't easy but the tools are there, you just need to draw them.
Turn 6 double Feral Spirit was a good stop but the double overload also slows down. The combo you need to make it is White Eyes with Spirit Echo: https://hsreplay.net/replay/Twhpv4MJAsUSCm8egXkCt2
Witch is absolutely useless. Pirate works for me, there is a big luck factor and of it swings your way you win.
I only won because he didn't draw Fear in time...
Witch is in fact the easiest. The secret is being greedy as hell, because you have a lot of heavy cures.
Won first try. With witch. Not very lucky at the beginning. Better at the end. You need to optimize your use of the hero power. Good luck.
If any1 is having a bad time with this one. I've won twice with cat. The idea is to cast infest on a large board and hope for some kind of poisonous effect to kill the head. Maybe I got lucky but this is the way I got him twice.
Head is immune to poison, which is probably why you're being downvoted.
I got acidmaw xD I thought it works kinda the same :P Like the minion GETS poisonous. My bad ;P
Alright, try 8 and still no win. I'm outie.
As a veteran player Cat is the one that I pick for the win.
I always win with cat on 1st try.
Tundra Rhino is the key for making more cats, check the hp on each enemy minion (except for boss minion) and play Tundra Rhino after the boss has used up Shadow Word: Pain and Fear, unless you got another Tundra Rhino from Infest
Play witch, stall with spells and taunt, play White Eyes --> Storm Guardian --> double molten reflection
