Too much work to happen but a co-op brawl with special reverse cards could be fun. Polket or secret passage your partner's deck. Shuffle in a healing bomb.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

I guess I'm top 100 but since I got it from early climbing I dunno how much that counts

Also I'm pretty convinced now that Pure Pally wants to run Bronze Explorer, I can track quite a lot of my wins back to that card.

This whole isolation thing and a dumb brawl does terrible things to people.



(Was not as bad as it looks, it was basically either slamming down 4-6 Snowfury Giants or Fliking away the opponents' win condition while browsing the forums or watching videos.)

Goody Two-Shields. Yeah, really.

IMO Goody would be fantastic 3-drop in a meta that cares more about minion combat, but most of the popular decks either have removals up the rear end or try to burst you down, that she isn't as cost-efficient as she is supposed to be. Rogue, Warrior, and Mage can deal with her so easily that she becomes a glorified Minibot. Meanwhile Bronze Explorer provides chip healing versus Rogue and other aggro decks, and many Dragon Discovers (eg. Amber Watcher, Crimson Hothead, Nozari) can help you stabilize. It also helps you outlast Warrior, Mage, and Priest removals. It's worse against Zoolock and also Demon Hunter somewhat, but overall, I think I'll take that tradeoff.

Play heavy board control in the early turns and try to line up your hand so that you play Marrowslicer on 4, then either Glaivebound or Lapidary on 5. This is typically the point in the game where you should switch to beatdown and try to close the game out. Don't be afraid to take some face damage because the deck has lots of healing. You can afford to delay AOE by a turn to get more value.

As a demon hunter setting up for the classic combo of weapon into lapidary. Is it more annoying to get frost bolted in the face on your turn 4 or on your turn 5?

Of the two, turn 5 because it has more swingy breakpoints with Blade Dance.

I thought I was crazy for thinking it was good two-shields but I wasn't sure what else it would be. Goody is awesome on paper, but it just doesn't work in the current meta.

Yes, it's unfavored. Either you rush them down, or play this dragged out long game keeping 10 cards in hand via Galakrond's hero power and burning bombs as you fatigue them.

The 10 cards thing is something I never thought about. That makes a ton of sense. Thanks

Is the priest change really that big? 4 health instead of 6 is a bit of a hit but not much.

Now the Darkglare hit is big.

Anyone heard if the Brawl will be Wild? If so, you Wild players will be in for a treat. I have no Wild cards left that matter, so guess I'll have to pass if it is going to be for Wild cards.

I don't remember the last THUNDERDOMES having a free run, nah, gotta pay up.

I do like how you don't break even until 6 or 7 wins. But gently caress it I made play the first time last month and I know I'll go 12-0 off the back of 3 Mana Apexis Blast and 3 copies of Evocation.

That Darkglare change might not be too bad for Suicide Warlock because you usually have so many ways of damaging yourself that you don't even need all the mana it generates. And with the card costing 1 less it's still pretty useful. I think.

Barov seems wild, considering you can hold onto the gold for a burst turn. Early game it's pretty easy to tell who wins, and you can maybe guarantee it anyway by playing a poo poo build lol.

Nice to have Jandice as a new addition to the able-to-use-pogos club.

Omu, meh, but probably decent. I'm not a huge fan of the on-level-up hero powers.

Every time I play face hunter I get matched into aggro rogue, is there any way to win that matchup other than sheer luck? Eesh.

Foreal, I don't know how to play that matchup, like should I fight for board or just go face harder. If rogue can get their card draw rolling when I run out of gas I'm out. If I can get my explosive trap down somehow on turn 2 or 4 I feel great, then rogue reloads with secret passage and I die. It feels like rogue has like 4 more resources than I will ever get.
