Glad to see everyone else is enjoying the brawl this week as much as I am. Hopefully they do more like this and less "SPIDERS EVERYWHERE!!"

Opponent just got a Warsong Commander turn 1. You cannot let that mother fucker stay alive! ... Then he casted an Innervate turn 5 and used it for... nothing, he had 7 mana and used his hero ability, that was it. He just wasted the Innervate for a Wisp. Christ,t here are some prime tards. ... But he still won because x2 Savage Roar gave him Arcane Golem x2. ....

Coin -> Mark of the Wild -> Innervate -> Power of the Wild = unstoppable.

Lol Oil Rogue played Blade Flurry, accidentally summoned a Doomsayer, the Blade Flurry killed my Shredder which summoned a Doomsayer of my own. I've had to put in a Tree of Life to combat all the Oil Rogues, good stuff. Getting a Warsong Commander is pretty gg. Oil Rogue opponent kept getting charge minions from his spells, it was insane. Sharpsword Oil onto Korkron and then Eviscerate into Bluegill etc etc.

Are people running any minions at all? I could see throwing a handful in, sticky things like harvest/piloted, or be cute and use the untargetable ones.

Edit: Oh man, Trade Prince is probably funny. If they use coins they flood their board with 0-drops.
I ran the trogzor guys to gain things with spells.

Used Vaporize for the first time in ever to gain some momentum to get to use higher level spells as a mage. Flamestrike is very powerful in this matchup though. However, best combo I have gotten so far is a pyroblast that summoned deathwing.

EDIT: also, counterspell is not as powerful as I thought, so I cut it, as the minion is summoned before the spell is countered

7-1 with my Rogue so far. My loss was to a Priest but I had an early misplay that cost me board advantage and I never drew into my oils.

My last game gave me my first ever Voltron. Basically had 2x Dummies from Backstabs and got Mimron's head from a Lorewalker Cho'd Holy Nova.

Tons of AoE Removal. Millhouse can bait out some early spells and all the 0 drops are easily removed. Tons of hard removal with Sabotage/Assassinate. Infinite 3 drops with Headcrack. 2x Sprint for the insane 7 drops. Preparation I save to counter Loatheb if needed but otherwise I don't use it too often unless I need to get a combo off.

Been running into several priest mirror matches, I don't understand why. Priest is complete garbage against the two best brawl decks (Druid and Mage).

I dunno, I won my first game as Priest vs Mage by a huge margin with just random Priest deck I threw together. Mind control is a fucking huge swing 95% of the time. Plus lots of strong 4/5 mana cost spells which usually summon solid creatures too. I mean Mage and Druid are obviously strong, but on paper Priest is up there.

Mage got Archmage off his first Flamestrike on turn 7 too, which gives him the fireball. Still won without ever really losing the advantage.

Edit: God, I think HS app uses more battery on my new phone than my old one somehow. That's depressing.

Been running into boatloads of Priests. Destroyed 2 Mages. Haven't played against Druid yet. This Rogue deck is fun as shit and seems OP to me

If you all just heard some crazy scream somewhere in NA, it was me. I cast Flamestrike and got Prophet Velen, followed up on the next turn with a 20 pt Pyroblast.

Druid is hilariously broken in this format. I'm playing a deck with 0 creatures, and I just got Mindsgamed(?) by a Priest.

Man Mindgame is such a gamble. People are either playing only a couple really useful creatures or none at all.

You'd think the Loatheb and Preparation Rogue would be great in this format, but they're terrible. You'd think Millhouse would be bad, but he's really not.

This week's brawl is just a good lesson not to go overboard disenchanting 'unplayable' stuff. Dark Wispers is terrible, completely unplayable in constructed, but damned if it isn't an absolutely fantastic card in this week's brawl. I mean unless you don't care about Brawl at all, but I've got a pair of Wispers just from opening GvG packs that I never bothered disenchanting them. This week, I was hella glad I had them instead of the 200 dust they would have coughed up.

Yeah I'm running 2. I really love the idea of getting to use these awful cards. I never disenchant anything below what can be usable in a deck, unless it's a useless Golden Legendary. So I'm enjoying using all these cards I've never been able to before now. I had a 12/8 Wisp earlier.

LOL Swipe into Ogre Magi / Starfall into Azure Drake is the best.

Mage you say? Pshah:

Extremely satisfying beating Mages trying to do all this fancy shit when all I am doing is pretty mindlessly spamming as many spells as I can and then casting Power of the Wild or Savage Roar or nuking their face. Love it. I'm down to just straight up 0 minions. I haven't lost to a single Mage. Sometimes early on they have the upper hand, and then in one turn I've cleared their board and have 4 strong minions out.

Awww, I didn't get to have fun with Gallywix. This Mage had a Flamewaker, Zombie Chow, Wisp, 2 Mirror Images and a Target Dummy on my empty turn 5. Then I ended that turn with a Darkscale Healer, Target Dummy and Shielded Minibot, with his board clear. Next turn this happens:

Stomp Mages allllll day long with Druid. Literally can't stop myself playing Druid because it's so damn fun and OP. Winning against Mages, Warriors, Priests, Mages, Rogues, Shamans, Warlocks, and Paladins all by turn 6 or 7. The only class I haven't stomped because I haven't played against yet is Hunter. Am genuinely 14-1. Lost to 1 Oil Rogue that got insane luck with Charges. Druid Tempo/swing is way, way too strong. So fun. Apparently other Druids I've played don't know what they are doing either, because they are getting stomped all the same as well. People playing shit like Clockwork Gnome because they think the Spare Part is value.

The best is Innervate + Innervate + Coin + Power of the Wild + Power of the Wild + Mark of the Wild on turn 1. Just had that, GG. 26-30 damage turn 2 attack with the creatures alone.

Such horrible backfires twice now getting a wild pyromancer from a 2 spell

Explosive Sheep is funny as well. Just got an Armorsmith into Unstable Ghoul into Force of Nature. 22 Armor, thx you. I am going to cry when this TB ends. 17-2.

Getting a Cho has been obnoxiously common for me, but it generally actually works in my favor.
