Tavern Brawl - Top 2 - Deck Ideas!
I’d go so far as to suggest Shard is your MVP here.
It shuts down all swarm decks, and is card draw when you’re the swarm player.

My opponent (Mage) managed to get Thunderbringer down on turn 1.
I only saw it and the coin played. What did I miss?

Too slow against token decks, even operating on plan.

I didn’t play it, but Silverhand Pally is a solid aggro choice.

My opponent in the Unholy test was running a hybrid of all three runes.
I’m not sure what else they had, but if I had them on this account I might have included Amateur Pupperteer or Down with the Ship.
For Blood, I’m thinking corpse generation into Corpse Explosion to clear the way to begin beating face with Corrupted Ashbringer and Gnome Muncher. (Pretty much how the original pre-con Blood deck worked.) I’m sure there’s an aggro version that could be built here too, but I’ve never been a fan of Blood.

Frost worked great against the Face Hunter I tested against; conceded when he realized I had nothing but answers for his board.
This is where I admit my choices for Unholy might not be the best since I usually run it as a 40 card, so decisions had to be made. Power loss due to Grave Strength not being available is why the Necrotic Mortician is in, as an extra Nerubian Visier, to maybe cheat a GS in.

The answer was, that Corpse Bride was fine since there is no corpse sink in that deck other than Malignant Horror, and Asphixiate should have been in there.
Frost is tough without Frostwyrm’s Fury, but this seems like an okay control deck.

Oh right… That’s why I’ve got no dust. I was replacing my common and rare DK cards.
Here is the starter, runeless, shell I’m building with. Swap in whichever rune cards you prefer.
Corpse Bride, I’ve always felt was hot poop, probably the first card to go (might be a good slot to play with Arthas’ Gift, if I want to be whacky and stay runeless).
Any time Epics/Legendaries are out, Bonemare tends to become a MVP in the late game.

This time around will be interesting…
Like many other players who missed what was going on at the time, when Core Set became a thing I scratched my head as to why I suddenly had two of everything and ended up dusting all my collected copies.
The recent rotation moved a ton of staples that had been around from the beginning (and most of the original DK cards) over to Legendary.
I run two accounts, one competitive, the other just for Tavern Brawl & Twist. Go figure, the latter is presently dustless. I guess I’ll try some Core Decks and see what I can swap in to make them work.

Kind of need to have at least been around for Galakrond.
Hearthstone February Twist Season is "Pauper" - Only Common Cards Allowed!
I definitely, agree on the approachable front. There are still a few cards that new players might need to craft, but it’s not “buy a bunch of packs and good luck” level anymore. As much as I like being able to use my old cards from way back, and with it some of my favorite decks from over the years, it was a solved meta. No room for innovation.

It took me longer than I want to admit that this is the same thread for all seasons, and was very confused by some of the deck suggestions below. LOL
Tavern Brawl - The Great Amalgamation!
Can confirm this is a fun deck!
Yeah, you want the Ship’s Cannon in there as a backup for Blindeye, or early soften your opponent.
One big weakness, though. If you catch a hand without and fail to draw either early enough, there aren’t many options to recover short of dumping what you’ve got and hoping for the best.
More card draw might help, but I’m not sure how to work that in.
Tavern Brawl - Shadow Reflection
Answered my own question…
Enrage Warrior, dump the second instance of every card.
Tavern Brawl - Shadow Reflection
So, first time since 2018 we’ve seen this and it’s limited to Standard cards.
Honestly, everything that I can think of that would be great here is Wild, now.
Thoughts?
Tavern Brawl - A Less Friendly Game of Chess
Sure, that’s a nice change of pace. And against the right opponents, it should work great.
Big points for creativity.
But, you know what works great against that? Rogue Poison Chess.
Tavern Brawl - Battle of the Bands!
EDIT:
Deathnight has problems with Kangor. Apparently, it’s random who you face off with after Mukla. Retire and hope for a better run.
Watch out for Soularium + Soul Barrage
