This week’s brawl is… wow. Wow.!

Spoiler

Pick a class. Get some class spells… and 20(?) webspinners.
As a rogue I had tinker, deadly, betrayal, sprint. Priest had silence, velen, shadowform.
Not sure if they’re always the same but weee~, it’s glorious. : D
Rogue hero power = <3.
Can’t wait for the unstable portal brawl…

Here you go;my dragon priest build. If I get twilight dragon+any drg on turn 2, it’s pretty neat.

5523

Curious, why not play blackwing corruptor? I thought that card was the whole reason for playing dragon anything in the first place (though blackwing tech is really strong too). I get that it doesn’t synergize with the priest hero power that well, but surely its got to be a better include than mindgames?

The biggest thing my gut reaction says, without playing it, is too many 1 ofs make the deck way too inconsistent.

I think you should cut quite a few cards and add more duplicates too. Looks too greedy with all the different gimmicks running at once. If it were up to me, I’d cut and add:

Spoiler
  • Naaru - not many minions in the deck have more than 4 HP so this is just a way to heal yourself mostly if you’re trying to get the effect, otherwise it’s a 1 Mana 3 health.
  • Lightwell - Just a game delayer, as you’re not running Inner Fire either. You can Velen’s it…I guess? You’re only running one of that. Combines well with Northshire…but you’re only running one of that too.
  • Thoughtsteal - It’ll be better to have more drops in this case
  • MCT - If you’re at a point in time where the battlecry works, you’re probably way behind. If you’re playing it without the battlecry, there are better 3 drops I feel. Relatively alright, but I would prefer another Cultist or Deathlord in its place.
  • Drop a Mind Control.
  • Rend - Mostly cause he’s bad, and because most Legendaries can be Shadow Worded for cheaper and then followed up with a decent unit
  • Mindgames - Can be good against Handlock and Ramp Druid, not so hot against most other decks unless you get lucky. And you’re only running one of this anyway.

So assuming I cut these cards, I’d replace them with:

  • Another Faerie Dragon - two drops are fun, though not optimal for Priest as they can’t be targeted by healing
  • Second Deathlord and Cultist
  • Second Velens - I might not drop Naaru if there were two Velens, actually…
  • Another Shadow Word Death, just in case Deathlord screws with you. If meet more fast aggro, Shadow Madness instead.
  • Corruptors - free three damage, are Dragons.
  • Maybe Kezan Mystic. It’s either a good anti-secret trap, or a 4 drop which you don’t really have.

My reasoning is simply getting more consistency, and sticking to the theme. Also trying to get the Health average up so you win trades and can survive the early game. Oh, and I think cutting the Northshire (and maybe Rag) for 2 Power Word Shields would help with that too.

New Tavern Brawl is fun. Only tried it a few times, but Rogue seems good due to the hero power that can kill two webspinners, as well as Sap, Eviscerate, Backstab, Conceal, Shadowstep (+Vanish), Poison, Flurry, Tinker and even Sinister Strike, which became my winning play twice.

I think if you have good class spells, the best thing to do is to mulligan away all your Webspinners and hope to get one class spell at least. Not sure what the deck makeup is but it seems like 20 or even 25 Webspinners.

5525

One correction, Darkstalker, Corruptors aren’t dragons themselves

5526

Picked paladin and I got a bunch of Holy Wraths, solid :expressionless: .

Managed to get a couple of Buzzards and Malorne which allowed me to simply overwhelm my opponent though. Cycling yourself to 1 card and get 7 from those Holy Wraths ended up being pretty good.

5527

I was trying to play classes I needed for daily quests

winning with priest was so bad. Power word shields and mindvisions lol

5528

Thanks for the insight bruvs; I swapped out the 2nd MC and replaced it with kezan Mystic and removed Naaru for 2nd Shadow Word Death. Let’s see if it’ll take me pass rank 10 this month.

Not really feeling the brawl this week: either i’m extremely unlucky with the damn minions or I haven’t learn sh$t since day one. I always ended up holding strong beast cards but with 10 or less health by the time it’s my turn to actually do damage. I would think Hunter would own that brawl but surprisingly, Shaman is doing pretty good. That’s the class I lost to mostly so far.

5529

I got a Bane of Doom in my latest pack. So far I’ve summoned:

  • Succubus
  • Void Terror
  • Voidwalker
  • Voidwalker
  • Pit Lord (yay…)
  • Voidwalker
  • Flame Imp

I am a sad person.

Summoning malganis from it is the best thing ever. You could be getting your ass kicked, your opponent complete board control…then Malganis for 5 mana and destroy an opponent creature. However…there are a lot of 1 drop demons, and I get those a lot.

5531

Running too many 1 ofs? Lets take a 2 of and make it into another 2 1 ofs!

Lol regardless, gl with your deck

Bow before me puny mortals.

5533

July 22nd is the new expansion announcement. Looks to be argent tournament or horde vs alliance?

5534

Good! Just about 6k gold and 8k dust to finally put to work!

5535

1 life comeback vs 29 life mage & hunter
skip to 7:18

5536

warrior with a lot of armor?

5537

Warrior is about as guilty as Hunter when it comes to invalidating strategies.
Edit:old draft woops

5538

This weeks Tavern was weaksauce.

Hopefully they have more new ideas instead of rehashing hero quests.

5539

New brawl:
Whenever you cast a spell, summon a random minion of the same cost.
So a 10 mana Mind Control summons either Deathwing or a Sea Giant, yay.
Only did a quick game as a druid, wasn’t too bad. Some decent early spells and Wild Growth is… Wild Growth.
Was a bit surprised that I didn’t face a mage in the first game.

Druid is the boss in this. Innervate to Nourish or Starfall so good.
