Official Description for Top 3
Let’s mix it up a bit, shall we? Pick three cards and we’ll make you a deck with ten copies of each card.
Top 3 Chalkboard
General Information
- Earn a Year of the Phoenix card pack for your first win in this Brawl.
- This is the fourth time we see this Brawl. Last time we’ve seen it on August 26, 2020.
- It’s a PvP Brawl.
- Brawl’s format is Wild.
- It’s a build your own deck Brawl.
- You pick 3 cards – your entire deck is filled with copies of them.
- It lets you pick a certain strategy and perform it very consistently. With only three cards, you can guarantee some synergies, or that you will have some specific combo piece all the time. You can also build a very efficient Aggro deck.
Top 3 Deck List Ideas
Keep in mind that the Brawl has just launched, so those are deck lists from last time. We haven’t checked things like ban list yet and new cards have been released, so other decks might be better. We’ll add them soon.
Warlock: Malchezaar’s Imp + Silverware Golem + Soulfire
If you avoid playing your too many imps against Mill Druid, you can beat everything.
WARLCOCK
I think its better to use: malch.z imp, Soulfire, SIlverware Golem
only lost one match against iceblock mage
Easy Warrior Stall: Protect the King!, Fierce Monkey, Commanding Shout
I really don’t know how you decided this bullshit druid deck is the best, but I came to thank you for that. Thanks to you I am playing almost only against druids with this deck. For now my win rate is 20-2 with a warlock deck(Not the one you suggested) I am playing with Soulfire, Succubus and Silverware golem.
Amazing Decks:
WARLOCK DECK: Possessed Villager / Power Overwhelming / Curse of Rafaam (Great against Mill Decks and combo deck forces them to use mana with huge burst combo)
AGGRO PREIST: Shadowbomber / Power Word: Glory / Mind Blast (Power Word their minions so they cant attack or buff the bomber)
Just for fun Deck:
HUNTER DECK: BRAVE ARCHER / TRACKING / WHISP
Warlock:
Soulfire
Darkshire Librarian
Silverware Golem
Arcane Missiles, Mana Wyrm, Ice Barrier. People give up when you put down the Mana Wyrm, usually, but if they feel brave, and aren’t a warrior based around taunts, this’ll still work fine.
Yeah, i went with this deck and started my first match and the opponent just conceded right away…
Well that was an easy free pack : D
Hunter: On The Hunt, Hunter’s Mark, Kill Command
It kills anything they play and eventually kills them too; doesn’t do too badly against the popular ones either
Druid:
Innervate
astral communion
Y’Sharrj Rage Unbound
Prince Malchezar
Bear Trap
Explosive Trap
Counters all the coldlight druids and most the other power decks like mech hunter. Fun against casual decks with all the legendaries.
Lol. Love this deck, people don’t understand what’s happening 🙂
Troll to the max
The hilarious part is that Prince Malchezaar procs 10 times so you end up with 60+cards in your deck
Variation of taunts+bolster I found amusing:
Shifter Zerus
Sparring Partner
Bolster
I never play Zerus until he’s shifted, just for that “What the hell” reaction I imagine people having when I play my 4th, 5th, etc different card.
Anti-mill deck
Mage: Frost Bolt, Forgotten Torch, Prince Malchezaar
Divine Paladin : Argent Squire , Shielded Minibot , Blood Knight .
6 straight wins . Turn 5/6 Victory .. glhf ^^
For Mage: Frostbolt, Cone of Cold, and Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
I’ve won 24 times with it.
Innervate+Loatheb+Naturalize
List of decks this loses to:
Murlocs
Maybe Ice Block?
That’s kind of it.
I have yet to find a better deck.
Innervate; Alarm o Bot; Kel’Thuzad
Power of the Wild, Savage Roar and Living Roots is undefeated so far.
The best part of it is that people concede just for you playing druid – even other druids.
It works very well on its own right, but loses almost always to Milldruid and Discardlock.
Spelldamage Shaman
Spirit Claws
Malestrom Portal
Thalnos
Udefeated with Shaman: Y’Shaarj, Ancestor’s Call, Ancestral Healing
Shaman: Murloc Tinyfin + Murloc Tidehunter + Everyfin is Awesome
This one hard counters mill druid.
Yogg is our only god : Druid -> Innervate, wild growth, yogg
Just saw a rogue deck: VanClief, Shadowstep, Whisp.
Guy got a 24/24 VanClief up on turn 4 which was cool.
Beat it with mill druid easily though
Top 2 was really fun, but then Iceblock mage, mill druid and Leaper Hunter grew to be better than everything else and the only room to grow was in making specific counter decks.
Adding a card turns out to not change this dynamic much. Those 3 decks are all a little less consistent, but still rock-paper scissors each other and Iceblock mage beats literally everything but mill druid and specific counter, destroy secrets decks. So if you’d already played top 2, it’s not as enjoyable. I hope someone finds something ridiculous and new with Karazhan cards, but i’m not seeing it.
innervate. banes. DeathwingDragonlord
Priest: Arcane Anomaly + Power Word: Shield + Inner Fire
Druid: Innervate, Raven Idol, Fandral Staghelm for lots of fun
Druid: Innervate + Coldlight Oracle + Arcane Giant.
But i want a few that are more fun.
Shaman: Evolve, Brann Bronzebeard, Barnes. Fun little RNG deck that’s been pretty successful.
Barnes + Deathwing Dragon Lord + Innervate. Stop Naturalize Druid and can flood really fast if you can get lucky on the Barnes
Dam Gar, it’s hilarius. Thanks for that one.
Mage: Sorcerer’s Apprentice + Forgotten Torch + Arcane Intellect
Druid: Malchezaar + Nourish + Innervate
I am undefeared
Vancleef, prep, and shiv
Ttk, turn 3 12/12 vancleef
Shadow Step, Novice Engineer, Van Cleef
Rogue: Conceal + Doomsayer + Malchezar
Priest: Circle of Healing , Auchenai Soulpriest and Flash Heal
I did ny priest quest with a variant of this one: Circle of Healing, Flash Heal, Embrace the Shadow.
CTOP, but I found this warrior build to stop all the flooding of mill decks to be hilarious: Target Dummy, Shieldbearer and Bolster. Weakness to the current lock discard favorite though…
I made my own Warrior Deck before I even looked for suggestions, and out of the three battles I played, 2 of them conceded not even halfway through! The cards in my deck were N’zoth’s First Mate, Upgrade, and Bloodsail Cultist!
Druid= Innervate – Barnes – Y’Shaarj. Awesome
I tried Babbling Book + Unstable Portal + Mana Wyrm, for versatility (and fun) purposes, but it is too random and slow to face against garanteed turn 3-4 win decks like mechs.
Too bad 🙁
Priest: Resurrect, Injured Blademaster, Onyx Bishop
Prince Malchezaar makes for a 60+ card deck btw. Also renouce the darkness is Fun
I think Priest running Circle of Healing, Flash heal, and Embrace the Shadows is pretty good. Hard counters Druid Coldlight Mill and the Evolve Shaman decks.
mage mana wyrm arcane missiles and frost bolt.
I’ve got it! Play as a Hunter
-Brave Archer
-Quick Shot
-Freezing Trap
I call it…
“No mans hand”
Fatigue/bore your opponent to death:
Forbidden Healing
Coldlight Oracle
Humility
i suggest
Forbidden Healing
Humility
and
eye for an eye
Here’s a stupid one that can double as a counter to aggressive mech decks or as its own massive aggro push:
Druid: Innervate + Deathwing + Deathwing, Dragonlord. Not exactly dust-friendly, but if you’ve got it, you get to LOL all the way to the bank.
Try Doomsayer, Mana Tide Totem and Thing From Below. It’s really annoying and quite effective. Filling the board with Things From Below is so satisfying.
Druid: Innervate, Barnes and Y’shaarj. Undefeated too.
Rogue: Mechwarper, Iron Sensei, Enhance-o-Mechano. It’s a little RNG-reliant, but when it works, it works.
Added thanks!
I think this is a good deck for top 3:
Molten giant
Ice block
Sunfury protector
I’ve been doing well with this meta hater deck.
Doomsayer, anoyotron, prince malchezar as warrior.
Thanks squirrel.
Mage: Arcane Missile, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image
Malchezar’s Imp, Soul Fire, Fist of Jaraxxus. Undefeated after 12 matches.
Nice one, going to add it!
iceblock, frostbolt and fireball for 3 cards freeze mage, won 5 in a row
This is without a shadow of doubt the WORST tavern brawl ever!
No fun, all games are very one sided and draw dependent.
It requires no skill and is no challenge.
I will even forego the free pack and won’t be playing this one.
I’d rather go for a prostate exam!
I don’t really agree, early in the Brawl there’s a lot of interesting combinations floating around. Why wouldn’t you get the pack when most games are less than 2 minutes long?
One of my favorite tavern brawls because it’s fast and maximizes my gold earning for arena.
