Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our dedicated discussion thread over on our Tavern Brawl forum.
whoever figured this brawl should go Live, should put that pack reward where i think they should.
If i wanted to LOSE on purpose i'd play off-meta in constructed.
CAT
Completed in my third try as Witch.
Can anyone explain to me the significance of starting with Stormwind Champion cards? Is it simply because a starting hand is needed to trigger the first play (when you choose you deck) and they just happened to choose Stormwind Champion or is there a lost story line behind it? i.e. was the headless horseman formerly a Stormwind Champion?
Just curious.
The Headless Horseman was originally a silver hand recruit named Thomas Thomson. He gets cursed in the Scarlet monastery which eventually makes him the headless horseman. In the actual dungeon in wow, after defeating the headless horseman, his spirit appears. The stormwind champions belong to the scarlet crusade and they live to beat the undead.
Legend, thanks. x
Didn't take an hour and a half to finish the brawl, but well on my way there going through this thread and downvoting whiners, felicias and people that for some reason make themselves feel better by posting all caps obscenities aimed at Blizzard.
Brainless Horseman
Lame brawl. Pirate is the only one who actually has some reliable card draw, so everyone else is just about whether the boss happens to topdeck answers when he needs them.
Just not a fun brawl and I don't get why they insist on you having to actually beat the boss for the cardback
I just go for a dead game that didn't even manage to launch omegalul
I found Witch a lot easier than Pirate. The big taunt minions were sticking around and able to kill the head. My pirate minions were just murdered :)
AT LEAST DON'T LET THE FUCKING PUMKINS DO AOE PLUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FACE DAMAGE!
What is the point of this brawl? Beeing annoying? Mission accomplished!
you are either an idiot or a poor comic.
This has to be the most butturt brawl of all time according to these comments Thank kew for changing the win requirement, Blizzzard! Huzzah
He has an answer for every play lol
Well... This is just plainly unfair. Difficulty is not something bad, I like a challenge but here it's just blind luck. I managed to win on my 6th or 7th try using the Cat costume but only due to the fact he only cleared me once with Felfire Potion and I managed to stop the early pumpkin aggression with the small spells.
But he is early answers, ton of board clears, overpowered minions which are also boardclears. And the Witch's hero power i more hindrance than help. No control of the board early on? Dead. No high attack minions later? Dead. No luck? Dead.
Fear should be in the real game, what a boardclear lol
i just cant win , everytime i get fucking wreckt no matter what i do... fuck this brawl
took me almost a fucking hour..
As always, Blizzard have proven their incompetence
