Just made a world class play last night, really wish I had a video or at least a screenshot of the board to turn it into a 'how can you survive' puzzle. It's turn 5, I'm playing midrange hunter vs zoo. I have an empty board, I'm at 5 life, he has a 6/5 void terror and an undamaged doomguard on the board. I drop knife juggler, hunters mark the doomguard, cast animal companion, it summons misha and juggler kills doomguard. I eventually go on to win the game.

Yep. I still completely dominated with Nef. Not sure if I will do another but this was one of my favorite brawls so might do a few to help push it more. Gotta help Blizz push the somewhat fun ones.

Yeah, you're right, I kinda spaced out on that, only matters for arena picks then.
Edit: I won my five brawls (for daily) straight away, three with Rag, two with Nef. Nefarian starting with one less mana definitely makes a difference since there are fewer blowout starts and Rag gets rid of the weapon one turn "earlier." I didn't notice any cards added or missing, but it has been a while since the first brawl.

The big killer for control warrior is midrange paladin. You can't win late game and it's unlikely you can rush them down. The other hard one is midrange druid since they just need a minion on board at about turn 9 to kill you unless you own the board early and get tons of armor up. None of the other matchups seem outright horrible though. Aggro druid is much easier, war axe kills half their stuff and fel reaver is relatively easy to deal with in warrior.

Brann Bronzebeard seems so good in a lot of decks.
16 heal on 8 mana and 2 bodies on board is a huge swing against aggro. IMO most mid & control decks should have Brann+Healbots
Other than that....

What kind of priest? He's way too slow for Dragon Priest, which is all about aggressively curving out. The only existing deck that gets good value from just dropping him in without changing up the list at all is handlock. Control warrior can slow the game down enough to use him, but he's way too flimsy for the minimal gain you get.
Seems like the dragon decks benefit a lot from Brann. He might be slow, but at least dragon decks tend to make it to 10 mana and the dragon synergy cards tend to be 3-6 mana. 12/12 Drakonid Crushers, extra card draw on Azure Drake, 4/6 Blackwing Technicians, 6 damage Blackwing Corruptors, 4/6 Twilight Guardians, and 4 spells off Nefarian (who's the only battlecry you can't combo with Brann).
It seems like too much synergy to not try to fit him in.
