One might think if Blizzard want’s you to spend 80 bucks on their imaginary digital card game, they would at least include the solo content in this package. I mean you kiddin’?
80 bucks for the packs & hero and another 20 for the solo content. I mean just the fact that they charge you 20 bucks for solo content in a card game is absurd but sum it up and you can spend at least 100€/$ to get normal (!) value out of it.
Dont be naive and think the 50 packs are enough to be competitive on the ladder. The cards you get out of it and the dust from the duplicates is statistically just not enough to compete. The 80 packs is minimum to be competitive and then you want the solo content because it is part of this expansion.
I dont know man…people are hating about EA, Bethesda ans other companies to release unfinished games with DLC content which shoulve been in the game in the first place but with Hearthstone no one seems to care even though it is actually the same. Why charge 20 bucks for the mediocre solo content? I dont understand it. And people dont let Blizzard pay for those absurd decisions. You guys pay for it.

@haters: dont be bothered to reply. I know you can buy EVERYTHING with gold as F2P player. But Hearthstone Mathematician (YouTube) made a calculation on this. You have to save gold for 1 1/2 years straight, have luck with the quests and you need to play beyond the quests to get this amount of gold to get everything you need and want “for free”. Saving gold for over 1 year means you have to skip 2 expansions. Doesnt sound like a good deal to me.
And no, I dont spend money on this game. At least not regularly. I bought expansions twice in my whole Hearthstone playtime. Old Gods and Rasta.

I like this deck. Especially all those legendaries I don’t own. Sucks to be a F2P player.

Really bad deck. Loses in early game against anything that has 1, 2 or 3 drops. Relies on random draw luck in late game. Just skip that one.

It is unbelieveable that Blizzard keeps nerfing Shaman every freaking expansion while classes like warlock (during C&C) and hunter (right now) terrorize the meta for months and months to come.
It is the second time that they make shaman completely unplayable and I am not sure what they are thinking.
I will keep playing Aggro Overload and that is fine to me but I find it so sad that the devs always destroy build diversity.

There are some cards I dont agree on.
I really like to play Dred in slower Hunter decks. You get a big body for low mana (or you recruit it) and your opponent has to react on it. No one plays poison minions, hard removals are not that popular and a silence wouldnt make him that much worse.
I see myself really often in situations where people can’t remove him right away or if they do, they sacrifice one, two or even three minions. I love him and I will never DE him.

Flarks Boom Zooka is another one. Previously it was kinda weak. But with the card which resses your beasts that died this turn (dunno the name) it gets a HUGE turn 10 swing.
And the current meta is all about the late game. Especially now after the February 2019 nerfs.

And Lunar Pocket Galaxy…I like that card. A friend of mine plays a big mage – yes yes that is off-meta I know – and with all the stuff in his deck, heading into late game with Frost Lich Jaina, it is just a nice card to empower your late game capabilities. I mean Aviana used work in a smiliar way. Your minions cost 1 mana but to get value out of her you had to play a big combo with refreshing your mana crystals and stuff like that.
Here you just play it and for the rest of the game you have huge value.

I love the idea and I will build an own version of it but this one is just stupid. There are is only one kind of Drattle: The Beetle. Dunno what this specific deck is about but I like the idea with Undatakah and Shudderwock.

Edit: But Secret Keeper might be a thing here? With Call to Arms?

Ah I see. Good point. I really like Masked Contenders but the whole reason for me to play Wild Secret Paladin is the flavor of the Mysterious Challenger. “Who am I? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!” 😛

But I know what you mean. Good job!

WILD Secret Paladin without my boi Mysterious Challenger. Thats not gonna happen ma friendz!

Yea I tried it and it is actually insane. Kinda underrated it feels like. People said Oondasta is not that big of a deal but she just fits in this deck perfectly. Nice target for Kathrena and also nice from hand when you have other big bois. I like it!

Firetree Witchdoctor gives you a spell, not a minion. And as I said you can not be sure that the Pack from Elise gives you any minions at all (even if unlikely it will not).

@S2mikey
I am fiddling around with a “new” deck with Talanji and even Bwonsamdi. I went off of the Dragons and put some spell in that gives you copies of minions, i.e. Cloning Device or Seance.
After some tuning and adjusting it is not going too bad. The problem are aggro decks. I can barely survive early game against Zoolock or Aggro Shaman. We will see…
I will drop a decklist when I come home.

Warrior description: “(…) revitalize the Dragon Warrior archetype. They are look to do this with some strong options like Emberscale Drake, Smolderthorn Lancer, and War Master Voone.”
– not putting any dragon deck into the list.

I like the theme of the deck but it looks more like an aggro deck rather than midrange. But nice idea with the molten giants and Thekal.

Do you really expect a proper answer after not even a full week of the expansion?

At the end you say you are salty.
But your comment is so well explained and rationally reasoned that I want to give you 20 thumbs up and a hug. You are a good person. Keep it that way.

I also think this is one of the better brawls but also not a balanced one.
Especially right after expansion start.
Also: Quote: “You only need 7 wins ” – you serious bro?
Not everyone has the gold/dust/credit card to craft all the precious decks that are able to grind that win ratio out.
I like to play hunter, shaman and warrior. If you want to win the Brawl you have to play warlock or paladin. Dunno about you but I cant afford my 3 fun classes and the two dominating the meta.
Yeye my decision to play classes that are not OP blah blah. But from a pure casual I can tell you: 7 wins in one run is not that easy for everyone. Not in arena, not on ladder and not in this brawl. Forced 50% win rate is also a factor.
Just my 2 cents.

Edit: Okay Bone Drake. But still kinda not enough value…?

Can someone tell me the use of Princess here?
I dont see any minion generation outside of the pack created by Elise (and you can not be sure that it will give you minions).

I mean it is fun to play this card.
But it is also a value machine and a good tempo swing.
Just with 2 traps and 1 spellstone you still have a huge tempo win. Not to forget that the hero power is just better than the standard one – even though it is lame as f*ck. And maybe Rexxar ends up being the last card in your deck. You would get a good value out of the “upgraded” hero power.

Question: What is Oondasta for? Is it just a backup when you end up drawing all of your beasts before Katherena?
Also: cut Tracking. Really. Do it. I never liked that card and with Zul’Jin now it is a no-brainer to cut this card.
I would include more big bois. Like Charged Devilsaur. Or Highmanes. Something like that.
