I haven’t really seen Yogg much since the nerf (which is when I dusted him as he was worth full value then). He does pop up from time to time, so I don’t think if I still had him that I’d dust him just yet.

BTW: Some combos do work (obviously) primarily because the cards are valid and cost effective by themselves. Equality+Wild Pyromancer is a good example: Both are reasonably priced (2 mana) and can be played alone or with other cards to gain immediate value. I can’t really see that in Sally (a 1/1 for 3) or Voraxx (a 3/3 for 4). You have to protect them (a third card) to ensure some validity. I could be wrong, but if I needed dust enough that I was disenchanting legendaries then they would both be on my list of prime candidates.

The problem with Paladin Buff is you nearly always lose card advantage. If I enhance a minion and it dies to a single card then I lose advantage. I have to take two cards with me to break even. Voraxx and Sally have potential, but they are always one piece of a combo package that may not show up, and if you are top-decking and draw one piece without the other (Sally but no buff, or a buff without a target) then you are hosed (technical term). Even with the murloc that rebates the buffs we aren’t seeing a rise in Paladin Buff validity.

Very entertaining and educational. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve seen this as well. I’ve noticed that if you ping an enemy with a rotten banana and kill it then they get that banana. I’ve also been on the receiving end and gotten a ton of bananas. Not certain how this thing is working.

Also, Druid starts out with an extra mana crystal.

Granted, but I hear people complain more about the lack of skill required to competitively succeed at this game and the cost to do so. It can be done, but I’m pretty certain I couldn’t do it. OK, I am certain. 😉

Control Priest has one epic, no legendaries, and very few rares? Wow! There’s solid evidence one can still do very well with a limited card base. Great job!

Agreed. I’m in the same position and don’t really care to play the Heroic Tavern Brawls as I know I can’t compete, but I like to see the decks that come out of them as they define the meta. In my mind, Blizzard is trying to gin up interest in the Wild format, which has its own benefits. Folks need to keep in mind that not everything in Hearthstone will interest all players, so enjoy what it offers that you like, and be grateful there is enough interest in this product that it can expand and maybe offer new features that you also enjoy.

It’s refreshing to see that with the new set we are still seeing several different lists and not just three and some of the previous leaders (pirate warrior, jade druid, etc.) are still largely valid. I’ve even seen some pretty good C’Thun decks on ladder recently. Even paladin has made a come back! So far, the meta is shaping up nicely.

I got two gold Epics and a gold Rare out of one of the packs. I’m curious if the odds of pulling gold is higher with these this gift. Anyone else get an amazing pull from their three pack gift?

Got a 2nd turn 10/10 Stubborn Gastropod. Woo hoo!

Vicious Fledgling is also ridiculous in this deck. Try a couple of them. There really isn’t a replacement for Living Mana as it is amazing, but at least this will give you additional support. Don’t know what to tell you about the Hungry Crab replacement, however. Good luck!

There’s only Tirion and a single infested cow for deathrattles in the deck. Does the Stonehill Defender consistently bring deathrattles into play? Otherwise, you are holding N’Zoth a very long time or getting very little value from him. How frequently do you see Tirion coming out of SD?

The early game for this deck is very rough, there are no heals or real defense (unless you use Shellshifter for taunt instead of questing), and Anaconda has limited usefulness as most of your targets (7 of 12) have Battlecry/Choose One that goes to waste.

THIS is a very interesting idea. Hemet first and then Carnassa. Please let us know if you get a chance to try it out.

I like this brawl as it allows me to play each of the different popular decks early in the meta so I can learn strengths/weaknesses before crafting some of these cards. I hope they do this with each of the new sets.

Thank you, Evident, for posting the complete deck lists!

Not certain I understand what you mean. If you mean the Paladin deck is ineffective then I would say I agree. That theme just does not work.

Tried this deck multiple times and end with the same results every time: Can’t get targets to stay on the board long enough to target and end up with a hand full of spells I can’t use. I even got the Galvadon out twice in one game and each time it gets smacked down within a turn. Anyone seeing different results? I really want to see Paladin do better, but I’m not seeing it with this deck.

Try the new brawl as it allows you to test run the Quest Rogue deck. That should give you your answer.

If there was still any question, this week’s brawl should put it to rest. Clearly Blizzard is OK with this card as they feature the Rogue Quest deck as one of the choices.
