This week's brawl is Clockwork Card Dealer - Standard!
Rules:
Tinkertown gnomes are testing their prototype card-bot: Optimotron! The card you draw on turn 1 will be a 1-cost card, if you have one. On turn 2, a 2-cost card...
Rewards:
A Year of the Phoenix Card Pack for winning the Brawl once.

Counter intuitively, I ran a ramp druid and got 5/6.
You mulligan for one of the 6 8 drops, then turn 1 do nothing, turn 2 far watch post(a small troll for this format), turn 3 ramp, turn 4 ramp and nature studies(to either fish for guardian animals or Cenarion ward if you don't have an 8 drop, or if you have primordial protector, to use on turn 9 as HP+8 cost spell or survival, don't worry about wasting the discount if you were to cast a 8 cost spell next turn, it's not really relevant thereafter, you can't play a spell alongside any other card anyway). Turn 5 and onward, 8+ drop every turn.
In essence, it's quite similar to the astral deck of yore. Which is no longer possible due to the standard restriction. The payoff is also a bit worse due to the same reason, as there are fewer good 8+ cost in the pool.
It reliably beat slower deck like no minion mage, as you will be ahead of curve like they are, but they are playing with random spells while you are using giant good cards(in the variant where they only incantor but not lunacy, you will simply be ahead on curve). But it falters somewhat against aggro deck sometimes, especially when going second. You will need to essentially hope for guardian animal into lake thresher in the latter case. Hunter with frost trap turn 2 is probably the worst matchup.
Note: removing the nature's studies for a 1 drop minion will allow you to fare slightly better in early game, which is good against aggro, but will decrease the consistency of having a 8 drop on turn 5. Of the 6 games, I've only needed to fish for it once and got it. That said, even if you miss the 8 drop, you can still HP and play one of the 5 drop beast which isn't horrible, and there is almost no chance of not having a 8 or 9 drop on 6. You'd have to draw all 5s and 10s, rather unlikely. If you make this swap, you can consider adding Cenarius as another 8 drop, the small taunts are a bit helpful until you can get another big card down. The other 8s are too slow and can't really be used.

STANDARD AGGRO ELEMENTAL SHAMAN
This is an aggressive deck dominating the Ladder. Also very low dust cost.
For the Clockwork Card Dealer – Standard Hearthstone Tavern Brawl:
Mulligan for your one drops. If you go first, you’ll have a 1/2 and 1/3 on the board on turn 1.
another junk brawl which mostly requires you spending money on packs in order to build a winning deck.
Easy wins, play as no minion mage, ensuring that:
The other cards don't matter, just make them the highest cost spells available.
You will always be able to play Deck of Lunacy on turn three.
I’m curious as to why you would include the second Flow. Unless you draw it before you play Deck on turn three, you can literally never use it.
Well, face decks always had a place in Hearthstone, and this is overall more a good than a bad thing. But Tavern Brawls should be a fun little side game where you can flee from the (at times) annoying ranked games. The past months or even years had been full of repetitive / tedious brawls.
And I don't think this will change in the near future, ActiBlizz's priorities are clearly elsewhere.
Seems like they wanna give this brawl one last hurrah before the Priest Questline makes things a bit too saucy

that deck f'n blows!
Hi. I tried out your deck. Looks like im unlucky cus i lost 5 times in a row with this. Thanks but never again
No it's garbage, why have Primordial Protector when the highest cost spell in the deck is 1 mana?! Curves and whole premise is terrible. I played two games and got rocked, will make something feasible later on when I get off work.
I feel like this has been the general direction of Hearthstone overall since Ashes released and the DH class was added. Faster and more aggressive. Some players dig it. Others don't.
Aaaaand another Brawl where everyone and their mother goes F A C E so don't even trying coming up with cool ideas and trying them out. It's just like going Standard when the meta is full of curve decks.
Super boring.
This is why i said it should have been wild. There could have been fun OTK and control decks to try.
This is my favorite brawl.
Considering Blizz does so many random deck brawls for new players with limited collections, i don't understand why they can't make every CONSTRUCTED brawl wild, so veteran players can be as creative as we want to.
Playing this brawl using a typical deathrattle DH lets you experience firsthand what usually happens when playing against that deck: Taelan Fordring [/card] on 5, [card] Skull of Gul'dan on 6, Death Speaker Blackthorn on 7...
The decks shown on the front page for this Brawl are not Standard.
The widget gets populated with decks as people make them. There being old decks just means no one has uploaded any new ones yet.
lmao
Okay, we can't have this Brawl again for at least 18 months when Priest Quest has rotated. xD
Or EVER a wild version again.
