I think they fucked up in a big way when they decided to make this a weekly thing. They're already struggling to not make Brawls terrible a month into it, how bad will it be in another 3-4?
You guys keep missing the point. It doesn't have to be good every week. The fact that it was really good one week so far is enough. A simple way for new players to obtain card packs was something the community was asking for and here it is. It has more than achieved it's goal. Eventually they'll cycle in older play modes, possibly giving preference to the more popular ones. They also get a huge new dataset for what works in the game and what doesn't and can experiment with new rules without mucking up the core game.

They need to get a solid 20 brawls under their belts then they can just make it a second daily.

It sucks waiting a week for this garbage brawl that they obviously called in.
Totally agree. It' s not even good or even hard design. Let's do another shitty RnG fest guys! Sure, that's what we are known for now! Went 1-1 completely based off RnG. First game he had 3 legendaries in 6 turns and second game I got a Nat Pagle coined first turn and he couldn't kill it until turn 4. No skill involved in either game. Completely random cards so it really doesn't matter which class you pick. I just wanted to get my mage closer to 60. and hope for a solid pack. I got one bad rare I didn't have so collection closer to done. Yay?

Eh, I use the Brawls as an alternative to do dailies. That is really is the point, it's just another mode to do dailies.

I did just force a Hunter to play a Majordormo with Ancestor's Call though and then proceeded to lethal him in that very same turn. That was hilarious. I found a 2nd insanely gimmicky use for the worthless Ancestor's Call, yay!

I think its pretty fun actually, in the same way arena is but with more chances for rarer cards. Plus you see weird shit that no one would even choose in arena almost ever, like totemic might or someone played a Magma Rager against me. I guess that happened last week too but the whole "play a spell-get a minion" thing was a different style than actually having a hand full of weird shit and having to decide how to play it out.

I'm sure its nice for newer/casual players who are slogging away trying to get gold with shit like a Trump basic mage or something. This gives them decks with like triple legends and shit.

What's sad is that this is probably still the second best brawl they've done
I only put this one above the banana one. Webspinners was easily better and Rag vs Nef was slightly better.

It also doesn't have to be terrible most weeks either, which is seems to be the case.

Also I highly doubt they are going to use this for any data collecting and future planning, already see how they haven't done this since beta.

Last weeks was fun but this one fucking sucks. Whether you win or lose is 100% on the deck that the RNG gods give you. Slightly less worse than Nef vs. Rag, but horrible. Get my one win and I'm out.

You should hold off on crafting or spending gold on anything unless necessary until the announcement next week.

Ugh, fuck tavern brawl. Half-assed implementation is even barely worth playing for the free pack. To top it off, it indirectly ruined arena by drawing away all the scrubs and casuals. Sylvanas, Black Knight, and multiple lightning storms in the early 2 loss bracket? Standard fucking shit the last few weeks.

Yeah I have noticed more difficult arena matches during Tavern Brawls. Yesterday I did a few arenas before it started and got 8-10+ wins on both of them no problem as usual, and then today I struggled to barely get to 7 in two different arenas. I hadn't actually made the connection until you mentioned it, but now that I think about it, my arenas have been more difficult lately. It doesn't matter how good you are if you are only playing against other people that are arena experts, you are gonna have a 50/50ish chance and thus have a very difficult time getting a decent amount of wins. Altho your mention of Sylvannas and Black knight in the early brackets has nothing to do with the skill of the players... so I don't know what you mean by that. It's about the type of players that play arena and ignore tb and how they play (skill), not about the rng. The rng obviously hasn't changed.

It was an indication towards deck quality. Decks like that, in the right hands, shouldn't be in the early 2 loss bracket unless the competition's skill has increased.

Awesome Brawl. I just got hit by a Shaman who played Malygos on turn 9. I had a mind control in hand but no turn 9, immediate, answer so I cleared the rest of his board and hit end turn. I mean what are the chances he would have Lava Burst, Crackle and lightning bolt for exactly 30 points of damage? Turns out it was 100%... Fuck this game...
