Post your deck lists in the comments and I’ll add them here!
Looks like most people are going with a Spell Mage build this year, constant Incanters Flow type effect works well to burn the opponent down.
I played Big Demon Demon Hunter to get the win – keeping bigger minions in the mulligan actually pays off more than trying to find lower cost cards
Beast Hunter. I went 15-2 with this deck.
Basically the aim is to power up scavenging hyena with small cost beasts and charge with Tundra Rhino. Draw cards with Starving Buzzard. Mulligan for: Tundra Rhino, Scavenging Hyena, Starving Buzzard and Master’s Call. Let oponent play a few minions so you can suicide charge to power up hyena. If playing against mage go all in. If you have buzzard go all in because you can redraw. Use Spells to deal face damage and avoid your hand getting to 10 cards.
– arcane shot x2
– Helpless Hatchling x2
– Springpaw x2
– Timber Wolf x2
– Bomb Toss x2
– Crackling Razormaw x2
– Revenge of the wild x2
– scavenging hyena x2
– animal companion x2
– kill command x2
– masters call x2
– unleash the hounds x2
– starving buzzard x2
– tundra rhino x2
– savannah highmane x2
Let me know what you think!
PS: game usually ends by turn 4-7
PPS: just subbed bomb toss for flare, which makes more sense.
BTW, i’m new…Is it possible to edit comments?

Renopriest with DK and Spawn of Shadows worked well. Kinda good if all your spells cost 0.
I’ve been messing around with the worst combo ever:
Glinda Crowskin
Mechwarper x2
Knife Juggler x2
Scorp-o-matic x1
When the first five are on the board, Scorp-o-matic costs 0. Drop it, kill it with the echo copy you get from Glinda, deal two damage from Knife Jugglers, and repeat for inifinite damage. You can also go Mech Warper x5 into infinite Zilliax.
It’s Wild – you could just go with the Grim Patron, Deathspeaker, Knife Juggler, Defile combo if you want infinite knife pings… not constrained by the time limit then, nor reliant on drawing a specific one-of.
Freeze Mage, without even looking.
I won with a deck that only had legendary minions in it 😀
Maly Rogue so lol!
Elemental Shaman did the trick…
Update: It’s the second time we see this Brawl. Comments below this one are old, but can often still be relevant!

Spent a couple of days crafting this list. I recommend you guys check it out
Thanks! I added it to the list.
I just ran an old fashion Freeze Mage with Antonidas instead of Alexstraza, come turn 7 or 8 I easily had 30+ dmg from hand.
EZ Exodia EZ Mage. Got the combo assembled and pulled off by turn 6/7 pretty consistently.
Turn 6/7 seems really really fast. Seems like an exxageration… what does your list look like?
“Consistently” may have been an bit of an overstatement, but it is definitely possible. My list started as the typical quest version. Eventually completing the quest became too slow. Instead, I just ran more card draw and 2x Simulacrums to expedite the combo. Having combo pieces reduced over a few turns means you can go in on the combo a lot earlier.
I had a very interesting time with this deck:

I went with a patron/blood warriors deck with Dead mans hand and Rotface. The amount you can draw is crazy and consistently flood the board with most of the whirlwind effects and minions getting down to 1 or 2 mana.

At 2021, this deck still works like a charm.
Ez big priest 10 games 100% win rate so far EZ game
Yep, I built some big priest, but with ragnaros and 2x resurrect. Won first try.
Miracle Rogue with a charge-Cold Blood-Faceless Manipulator win condition has been doing miracles *heh* for me. I’ve won every game so far besides one weird burn Mage who happened to Coldlight-mill me after I drew my entire deck lol
Win condition: Charger + 2x Cold Blood (3x with Valeera the Hollow) + Faceless Manipulator -> 20-36 charging damage.
Sadly the deck builder’s a bit buggy for me atm, so I can’t upload it. Sooo here’s the list; sorry in advance for the inconvenience of scrolling through this. Feel free to import it and have fun! 😀
If you do decide to feature it (which I doubt, but would be an honor), go ahead and make a new deck and credit me.

I’ve had success with a turn 4 14/14 Edwin van Cleef.
Plus, seeing a lot of powerful Ultimate Infestations.
