Well that was pretty neat, liked that one more than mechazod.

Lost the first one because my partner made some questionable plays and I forgot if you fill your board against these things they wipe your entire board. It doesn't even tell you what happened in this one and then I was like oh yeah, I had a full board and he needed to swap sides, should just eliminate your biggest dude, but whatever.

Just looked at the full Karazahn card list...Violet Illusionist should find a home in a Warlock deck...

Oh, I suppose I got lucky with this brawl. Won first attempt, had no idea of the mechanics so I threw a few minions away to Nef getting mad, etc.. but the key point in the game was getting a stoneskin gargoyle down, swapping hands with priest when he had double health x2 and inner fire in hand. Made it a 16/16 that healed each turn, then we both put more buffs on it as the game went along.
Partner made quite a few misplays, but they were on smaller things or it just didn't end up mattering.

My experience was the exact opposite. I have something ridiculously high, like an 80% win rate in the Mechazod brawls. In this one, I finally got a win on what I think was the 8th try, and even that was only possible because I got an incredibly lucky recovery after my partner triggered the second board wipe too early.

By far my least favorite brawl, and that includes the 'we put rng in yo rng so you can rng while you rng' brawls. It would be tolerable if it wasn't for the stupid hand-swapping bullshit.

I got a win on my first try and pretty sure my partner's first try as well. We rode Lightbane to victory although she died in the 30 damage nuke anyway. After that it was just whittling him down. Don't think we ever saw gargoyle. Honestly it's pretty easy unless you get super unlucky, I watched Kripp playing it last night and he won with his partner actively trying to fuck it up (windfury on 0/2 taunt totem, things like that all game).

I mean, you can still lose, sure, but 7 losses and you may be one of those people that everyone hates getting as their partner :p

This brawl was frustrating, I was priest so I was waiting to play all the cheap buffs I had in hand on a good target like Gargoyle. I had a bunch of cheap buffs in hand waiting (extra cheap as I had that 3 mana minion who reduces casting cost of your drawn cards), then my partner plays Validated Doomsayer, gets my hand, proceeds to buff the shit out of it and then it obviously reverts back to 7 attack the turn after. I'm spamming Oops after every buff but he doesn't get it.

The best target is obviously the gargoyle as it heals itself every turn, if you can get its health above 30 it'll survive the big attack when you get him below 60. The game I finally won my partner even recognized I had a double health in hand and held off attacking a turn to maximize it.

It would be fun if there were coop raids you could do with a friend. A random bunch of random brawls or encounters and you'd need to bring a relatively versatile deck with you.

So I've done both the Crone and BBW heroics. The Crone just immediately broke and started buffing my minions the entire game. Then the BBW broke when I played an abomination and just refused to attack into it. Nice game, blizz.

This is exactly the shit that kept happening to me. Maybe it will be slightly better today now that more people actually know he clears the board at 160 and 60.

wow barnes and double tracking in hunter could spell the end for warriorstone. Pretty gross so far.

good times. some interesting choices here I think but I like 1 alpha and 1 tracking. Not sure about rag of course. I had zoo concede on turn 3 after he had no board and I had 2 big bad wolfs..

That deck looks sick.
Haven't done much other than the PvE content so far.. I did put 2 giants in my Yogg Druid and won the 1st game. Played both giants for 5 mana against a Hunter. Kinda fun :D
Will try your deck out later, Hunter got stronger for sure imo. As I said last week, Kindly Grandmother going to be strong.

This is one of the things Legends of Norrath (the online Everquest card game) did really well. There was a ton of 2 and 4 player vs ai stuff. They also had a built in tournament system.... Not that SoE did shit ot promote or advance the game.

I've been messing around with resurrect priest and it's been hilarious, onyx bishop is definitely an amazing card it's just hard to find the right balance of early game with priest. Had a game where a paladin got tirion off of barnes, I cabaled it and ended up having a total 5 tirions in one game thanks to resurrect and bishop.

That's hysterical.

Onyx Bishop is a solid card, but it's not even close to what priest needed to get out of priest tier in standard.

Arcane Giant is pretty good in Yogg-Saron Druid so far, wouldn't keep it in an opening hand though.

You know you're not a scummy hearthstone player if it takes you until now to get golden hunter. High five to me.
