   Wasted opportunity.

   This is such a great idea, even for a hole new play mode in Hearthstone. Yet no announcement, just a regular brawl...

   That said, fantastic brawl!

      Yeah, one of the best Brawls ever. Its so much fun to play the original unnerfed Decks, which was never possible before.
      And even Decks that are out for only 1 year now feel fresh again. Freeze Mage, Justicar Taunt Warrior, Midrange Shaman. Oil and Miracle Rogues with original Blade Flury. And the Undertaker Decks lol

      That's the first Brawl I play more often than once

         One thing I am experiencing is that there are too many players, who never played Freeze Mage, Patron Warrior or even Control Warrior. These are decks where you need to see the big Gameplan.

         Big Facepalm if you see how a Freeze Mage with 30 health, Ice Block and Ice Barrier up kills a big threat of you with Frost Bolt, Ice Lance, Ice Lance. GG wincondition

            To be fair, newer players, who've never used them - or researched the brawl on a site like this - really wouldn't know how those decks worked since the un-nerfed cards change the game quite a bit.

               Also, budget players (myself included) and FTP players will never have a chance to experience all kinds of meta decks. So not everyone will know how to handle all decks correctly.

               That said, this is exactly what makes this brawl so awesome. I always wanted to play many of these deck archetypes but lacked the legendary or epic cards.

   One of the best brawls. They need to do this one more often. I miss oil rogue.

   This is such a bad brawl, even unnerfed some firebat decks can never measure up to the power level of later decks. it is so unfair sometimes.

      I don’t think so man, I only played the brawl once and I got firebat’s rogue deck and completely stomped the other player

   I think I started playing right at the end of 2015 - before the Abusive Sergeant and Leper Gnome nerfs but after the Undertaker nerf... I didn't realise just how ridiculous Undertaker was in practice! :D

   I only managed to get one Brawl in last night but got Firebat's Zoolock - which was nice as I've been mainlining Zoolocks on the ladder recently. Zoolock has really put on weight in the last 3 and a bit years.

   It's the second time we see this Brawl. Comments below this one might be outdated.

   this is such a nice idea, but bad executed (balance)

   tom60229's decks are certainly the ones with the highest power level. The power creep that year was real. And yet, I have been able to crush some of those decks thanks to unnerfed Miracle Rogues.

   This Brawl is awesome, by the way.

   It's not just the Champions, I got Mercenaries 14, from the brawl off.

   1. Stonekeep March 12, 2020

      Wait, really? That's hilarious. Does it actually win against other decks? I have only played once for the pack so I didn't encounter it.

      1. generalflagada March 12, 2020

         Yes I just won with merch 14,
         With good ol’ turn 1 4 patch, and face dmg at turn 6

   The good old times, I love it !!!

    Barnes is still 5 mana in Pavels Shaman

    1. Stonekeep March 12, 2020

       Yeah, Yogg also seems to be the old version. Weird, because some of the cards are un-nerfed.

    It feels REALLY bad playing Firebat's 2014 decks against these more recent decks--they're ~75% classic cards.

    Granted, that doesn't mean they are necessarily worse than the other decks if you play them right (e.g., for the hunter deck you need to mulligan hard for pre-nerf Undertaker, for rogue deck you need to setup a big auctioneer turn into conceal); it just feels awful staring at the big "c" watermark on entire hand while your opponent keeps playing wild cards.
