IMHO, this brawl is total randomfest and doesn't deserve play after you get your booster.
Or the 5 Tavern Brawl win quest. Actually I also used it for a 5 Rogue or Warrior win quest. I don't generally play those classes in constructed.

The randomfest ones are my favorites; they make it easy to do quests (and by easy, I mean less mental effort).

I'm not sure why they don't start putting brawls that restrict cards you can build with. They may be harder for new players, but they would be super interesting.

Probably because they don't want to overwork themselves with code, though the coding effort to implement such a thing might not be so large after all depending on the state of their codebase.

double deathrattle was hilarious - I played priest and had I think 24 cards in deck before I had a card that didn't have "Deathrattle" or "Silence" on it.

You could make it not-harder-for new players just by having a Basic Brawl where everyone is forced to make a deck with the basic cards.  Just like old times!  It would be fun to see cards like Shattered Sun Cleric being used in `constructed' again.

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.

I've been running into the Goldshire Footman 1/2 Taunt guy a lot lately.  Did I miss a memo somewhere?

I haven't managed to play much for the last week, but yeah that's massively surprising to me.  Really weird.  What rank are you playing at?

No obvious synergies?  Hobgoblin or Bolster?

It's been Paladins.  Thing is, dropping it on T1 means I remove it with basically anything.  Not sure what the plan is.  Maybe it's newer players?

Forced Avenge proc.  It doesn't seem like a terrible card for Divine Favor Secret Paladin.  The deck feels like it could use another 1 drop, and what would be better.  Argent Squire?  In an environment of fighting against Muster Tokens, Goldshire Footman has the same health.  Chow? You're too aggro.  Abusive Sarge? You're already running 2.  Leper Gnome?  Your deck seeks to have board control all the way into the kill and has no damage that shoots over taunt, so it doesn't make much sense to sacrifice possible board control for the life total snipe.  You can't win without board control like hunter.

I might try it.

Is Worgen Infiltrator already in that deck?

It's not, and it shouldn't be.  Worgen Infiltrator is a bad Leper Gnome.  It's a deck where you always have targets to hit, so giving one of your targets stealth is useless (since it's not inherently a high priority target a la Patient Assassin.

I would run Young Priestess or Tournament Attendee over Worgen Infiltrator in that deck.

Infiltrator has some synergy with Blessing of Kings, I guess, but I don't believe Blessing of Kings should be used in Divine Favor builds.

I'd play Argent Squire over it anyday, anytime. Esp if you want board control and you said you want it. And have anything that remotely synergizes like Sarges.

I see the argument for Goldshirefootman. If you do run Blessing of Kings, Argent Squire beats it for sure. As a proc for avenge, I dont see it though, since control decks will be fighting for board anyway, and will most likely trigger it regardless of Taunt or not.

Hybrid hunter very often needs convincing to proc your avenge, though.

Did anyone else have any trouble with the Underdog thing?

It took me forever to win once.  Did it with the old Divine Spirit + Divine Spirit + Inner Fire combo OTK Priest.

No problems at all with Warlock. Issue is I use Brawls to get dailies for the odd classes and I am struggling hard there. Some success with freeze mage.

I took the chance to play my Malylock.  I saw mostly Zoolock and Oil Rogue, with Mill Rogue and an offbeat Freeze Mage also making an appearance.  Malylock is great because your opponent sometimes gets carried away with hitting themself and leaves an opening for an early blast of burn cards.

I went ahead and played Mech Rogue, beating a Zoolock player in my first game. Rogue'a Hero Power weapon lets them take damage to prevent the other player from getting the benefit of extra minions until you're really pushing for lethal. In the game I won, the only extra minion that was summoned was a Mana Tide Totem for my opponent the turn before I won.

I tried some slow decks (ramp, control warrior) but they fell flat to zoo over and over.  Then I tried face warrior, but kept losing to handlock.

In the end, I decided to go OTK because it seemed like the best way to ensure a win.
