I chose Babbling Brook, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image. Went 5-0 for the brawl quest and completely whipped 5 different classes with som strong picks. The best was Raven Idol, Innervate, Ysharj. He actually Starfall and Moonfired my board away and the next turn he innervated Yshaarj and emoted an apology a little too soon since right before then I had cast Wyrm, Image and a Mirror Entity I got from Brook.

Mana Wyrm/Frost Nova/Choice still works fairly well. I have AI as my 3rd, but you could do a lot of things.

I've found Bloodmage Thalanos, Ice Block, and "Mage Damage Spell Here", to be near unbeatable.

Is there anything that consistently beats M Imp / Soulfire / Fist? Seems strong.

Compared to "top 2" (15 each of two cards), this brawl feels much less consistent. Obviously it'll be less consistent because you have 3 cards instead of 2, but I'm surprised it feels like such a huge difference.

With top 2, matchups were almost 100% determined by deck and who goes first. In this one there's much more variance.

Also the MImp/Soulfire/Fist mirror is a terrible RNG fiesta. So disgusting.

Thalanos, Ice Block, Forgotten Torch (I like it better than Frostbolt or Fireball here. Upwards of 90+ dmg to spread around, and  extends your deck size). You can replace Thalanos with AI or any cheap card replacement, but the Spell Dmg is a nice kicker.

At least it does from my experience, as I'm 4-0 against that combo.

Me thinks that should lose to Mill Druid.

Just tried Northshire Cleric/Divine Spirit/Inner Fire.  Pretty amusing when it works.

I've only ran into mill once with it and won, however in theory while they can't fatigue kill you on their turn your draw should kill you.

I've been doing Barnes/voidcaller/Mal'ganis with pretty high success rate.  A lot of that is people auto conceding, but not all.  It's slow to start and relies on you being able to kill off the voidcallers so loses to a spell only mage deck.  Also sucks when barnes only pulls barnes, but otherwise it's a ton of fun.

Kripp swapped out Barnes for Sacrificial Pact, which has the added advantage of countering Malchezaar's Imp strats.

Wow, this is a super strong counter vs MImp/Soulfire/Fist. It doesn't feel quite as favored against the Silverware Golem version though.

Axe/AChamp/FDragon also does well against MImp/Soulfire/Fist, although it's not a hard counter. The matchup against mill druid is interesting: I think it's best to play only the faerie dragons to try to deny naturalize targets, but I haven't had much of that matchup. It does mostly badly against warper/annoy/leaper unfortunately, but it's not unwinnable.

When we had the chess encounter in Karazhan, lots of people wanted to be able to play it against their friends. So I'm not surprised that it came out as a tavern brawl, but I kind of agree - It's boring.

Black is feeling better than White for me so far. I'm 12-1 with Black but only 4-3 with White. Having the extra card is a big deal, and the extra mana doesn't matter so much most of the time.

That said, the one game I lost as Black is when White opened with 1-2-3 pawns, which was hard to stop. That should be rare though.

Oh man, chess in Kara was so damn much fun.  This little auto-win respite after killing 10 bosses before going on to Malchezaar.

Brawl this time is 22 of one card and 8 random class cards.

A bit weird. I get why they didn't go with 30 of one card (too boring) but filling it out with random class cards... eh.
