Blackrock Crash (Week 2) Chalkboard

General Information

  • You get one Saviors of Uldum card pack for beating four bosses. Beat all 8 bosses with Rafaam to get Golden Rafaam’s Scheme card.
  • It’s the second time we see this Brawl. It’s the same Brawl as last week, but now you can also play Rafaam.
  • The Brawl has unique format – it works similarly to Dungeon Run solo content. You play as one of the League of E.V.I.L. villains and try to beat a series of eight bosses.
  • Beating bosses in this Brawl contributes to the global Community Card Reveals. We need to kill 25,000,000 bosses in total to unlock all cards. We get one unlock after getting 25%, 50%, 75% and finally 100% of progress. So the more you play, the more likely that we’ll get there and see those cards early! We’ve already seen the 25%, 50% and 75% reveals, so the only the final one is left now.

    The bad part about this brawl is that with Robes, it doesn’t matter which villain you choose – you just stomp the bosses.

    So, this was really boring to play (again) with Rafaam – good prices, though.

      True, but it’s to be more accessible. If it was too hard, people will have a hard time getting like a single pack and a golden common card. I think it’s fair, only the boss are lil bit repetitive. They could’ve swapped some bosses.

    Oh man, Rafaam sucks. Beating this as Rafaam was harder than beating it with Lazul for me. You have a perpetually clogged hand, and most of the cards you’re offered are no good. Would you like to choose cards from the pile that makes you draw even faster, while inching you closer to death from Fatigue? Or maybe you want from the Control pile, with cards like Rin that you will absolutely never be able to fully play out? Or from the Swarm pile, with a bunch of buff cards like Power Overwhelming and Grim Rally yet typically offering two spells and only one minion?

    At least the Lazul deck is functional if you just go all in on Old Gods.

      Are you using his hero power? I kept choosing sacrifice buckets for removal and anything to supplement late game play, spamming hero power to thin deck and summon enemy minions tends to pay off.

        Sacrifice cards usually only offered me ways of killing my own guys T_T

      I didn’t really have a problem beating it with Rafaam, but honestly, it was the least fun class for me. Like you’ve said, your hand is clogged all the time, there is no resource management at all, you’re never afraid of running low of cards or anything. Most of the buckets also weren’t really fun. Lots of cards that are too slow (no, I don’t need Lich King or Rin when playing Rafaam) or just bad (like healing bucket – you don’t really need healing in this format).

      So while I wouldn’t say “hard” (if you’re lucky enough you could win with just Hero Power, which can pull big minions from your opponent’s deck – I pulled Molten Giant on T2 against Ragnaros and that was basically game over, for example), but – at least for me – not very fun.

    They are being lazy they made the same brawl 2 weeks in a row. It probably took them too long to make the week 1 because it is a dungeon run and they didn’t have time to make a new brawl.
