I'd imagine totems might be bad at some point though. There's been more than a couple times where I had to sacrifice random shitty minions just to get a summon from a spell. And if I was playing against a Shaman, I'd potentially let him keep all his totems to block his board. Overload just really removes the bonus from this TB & Lava Shock doesn't make up for it because of the shitty summon. Shamans don't have enough high cost spells really.

I mean, it's certainly not infallible. But the idea is pretty straight forward and has worked several times now. Stack the board with low level trash by using constant low cost removal, then buff it all up at once... and attack. Raid Leaders, Stormwind Champions, and Flametongue Totems. The deck needs to draw cards though, so that is why I would include a Mana Tide Totem or two. They also act as decoys in the late game. The rest is removal and board presence. Feral Spirit and Lightning Storm are key. They can both tilt the balance because they are both spells.

Shaman is still one of the weaker classes for this brawl, although I don't think any of them are worse than warrior. I never saw a single one. Even hunter can be perform pretty well.

Getting Illidan is great. One spell for 3 minions.

Gimme dem fish.

Does it really work like that? That's kind of broken

The minion is summoned first before the spell is played. So it makes sense that Illidan would summon a blade. Same reason wild pyro goes off immediately.

Yup, it's pretty OP. Specially since Druid has 8 copies of amazing 6 cost mana spells. Just had to craft x2 Lightbomb to play Priest. Somehow even though I have 16ish copies of Imp-Plosion and every other GvG epic x2, every single one, plus more, I've never opened a single Lightbomb.

Yeah, had a druid with coin, innervate, innervate, nourish, power of the wild...he had the exact 4 cards he needed in his opening hand.

longest brawl I had was with a Lorewalker Cho and us two trying to outmill each other

Priest Mirror seems to be a matter of who gets more Mind Controls...

What's the purple minion in the center for the Priest?

If you have a Deathlord and your opponent has no minions in their deck that's what you get.

Deathlord does nothing if your opponent has no minions, that's from Mindgames.

Lol I do not know what just happened but I just had the most chaotic crazy turn I may have ever seen. I was playing a Priest and had a Nat Pagle out, a Northshire out, a Gadgetzen Auctioneer, and then a Cult Master and misc. I had Thoughtstolen Innervates and shit in my hand. I drew 14-17ish cards in one turn, but never had to discard any of them, I ended up playing 11+ cards in that turn alone. Ended up in 2 fatigue while my opponent had 15+ cards left. Was absolutely nuts, there was no way to keep track of what was going on and it got to the point with a full board that it was near impossible to make decisions. Looking back I could have won that very turn with some insane plays, but my brain was asploding against the clock. Managed to win a few turns later with Shadow Madness madness. Absolutely bonkers.

Seriously going to be really, really sad when this Brawl goes away . I am glad it is being praised so widely though and it seems like everyone loves it (minus some dipshit newbs, all the idiots calling this Magebrawl etc). Maybe it means Blizzard will learn something from this. I'm seeing people petition to make this a permanent game mode haha. I am very pleased this week. Easy, extremely fun gold/class grinding. Easily the most fun I've had in Hearthstone in a very long time, if not the most fun I've ever had in the game period.

This game was fun, saved a Worgen Infiltrator I got on turn 1 or 2. It was really funny, and a little frustrating, because the Warlock knew what my plans were and he literally cast at least 6-7 AoE's to try and slowly reduce the Worgen's health. Shadowflame, Hellfire, Demonwrath, Explosive Sheep that was Mortal Coil'd, even a Fel Cannon FFS. He did at least 20 damage to it over 5-6 turns, but it wasn't enough, bahaha.

Currently playing Priest with only two Minions. Both are Kezan Mystics. It's doing pretty good. I can stall until Turn 10 and then start to Mind Control Stuff which gives me a Deathwing or a Giant + the minion I stole. So many concedes after Deathwing shows up.
