Playing against Patron feels so hopeless sometimes.

You know what you're facing.

You know what the winning conditions of the deck are.

You have a good hand, decent draw, your deck plays well.

You try to play around it as best as you can.

And still, it fucking happens and you wonder what you could have done differently, and can't find anything.

At least playing against face hunter or other aggro is quick.

We knew it already but it's now official, TGT is coming out on the 24th.

I have my 50 packs pre-ordered, slightly over 4000 gold, and about 6000+ dust.

I'm ready.

My gripe today is downloading the update on Android (on Wi-Fi no less). This gripe has 3 parts ...

1) It downloads the whole APK for an update. So 712MB.
2) It keeps interrupting the download for no reason I can ascertain (Play store error). On my fifth try now.
3) It starts from the beginning of the file again, it does not continue the previous download.

I would facepalm but I fear I would knock myself out with the force of it.

TBF this might be an Android fuck up and not a Blizzard one, still annoying as fuck though.

Mage is just a far more powerful deck than hunter. Looks like they spent about 10 seconds putting this brawl together.

Played one game, got alleria, won decisively. Alleria clearly op. Biggest impact new card I got to use was the 5 mana 3/3 battlecry summon a random beast if you have a beast. In my opening draw before I mulliganed it away in the deck was the neutral that heals both players 4hp, pretty terrible card for hunter.

I mean what the fuck were they thinking? Rhonin? Saraad? Frost Giant? Tons of good tempo cards? All the combo shit for the endless turn of hero powers?

Meanwhile the hunter deck gets a bunch of random and overpriced garbage.

I've won with both. Hunter has a good late game.

Mage is way op in this brawl tho. I hate set deck brawls anyway, wish they would have let us make decks with the new cards.

I've played hunter 5 times in a row. Won a relatively close 1st game, got crushed 4 times in a row. this shit isn't even close to balanced. The better hunter endgame means nothing if you can't get there with some kind of board parity.

Went 1-2 with the Hunter and I only won because the mage got what seemed like a terrible draw and I was able to draw charge cards. The joust is the ultimate form of RNG if I ever saw it. First game dropped 5 different cards with battlecry, lost all 5 jousts. Needless to say I got destroyed.

Got two mage games in a row, first one opponent conceded on turn 7 because I already had lethal while still keeping his board clear every turn, second one opponent conceded on turn 4 because I already had a dominant board presence and she failed a critical joust. The mage deck is a reasonably well crafted deck built around a lot of hero power synergy, so it's not like they just tossed some inspire minions together and called it a deck. Whereas the hunter deck is basically 'heres a bunch of the new RNG crap along with a bunch of high cost minions, have fun'.

I don't see Inspire being strong enough to keep up with the metagame. I do see Fallen Hero probably replacing Sorcerer's Apprentice in the aggro versions of Tempo Mage, but the more midrange ones will probably prefer Sorcerer's Apprentice.

*edit*

The brawl has convinced me that even in constructed, lock and load won't be any good.

Mage seems much more consistent but if the hunter wins all his card reveals, you are screwed. The new mechanics feel more RNG than anything so far.

The only joust that really matters is warhorse. King's Elekk may thin your deck but it's also stuffing another card into your hand that you can't play for several turns. The taunt bro just gets his shield pinged away or polymorphed. Or gets killed by shadow word death, which happened to me once and turned that game into a blowout.

Most interesting part of this Brawl is shooting arrows at the target on the bottom right of the board.
