Decay Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Is that the guy who quad fireballed me across turns 8 and 9 tonight? That happened to me when I was playing this deck: http://www.heartharena.com/arena-run/tqb2j5 You know, it's funny, right after drafting it I felt great about the deck. Then I looked at its average tier score, and saw the 58.8. That is abysmally low. But it goes by the base tier ranks and it was a collection of kinda mediocre cards that work really well together, like three dragon synergy cards with three dragons, and some fun mana wyrm shenanigans. It just goes to show that with the right supporting cards (a flamestrike, which is key), you can make even a bunch of below average cards work. I have to say, I think HearthArena and Kripp's recent pimping of it has provided a pretty decent difficulty spike in Arena lately. I'm not going to blame my downturn entirely on that, but it's probably a factor. A year or so ago it used to be that you routinely saw garbage decks until you got to 6+ wins. Now like 90% of the decks I face are actually pretty good and I very often see decks that a year ago I'd peg as 12 wn decks at 1-3, 2-3, etc. Shit's cray in Arena these days. Quote
nohman Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Man, I haven't even opened the client since Tavern Brawl came out. I'm such a scrub. My HS playing seems to come in blocks. Always end up playing a fuckton for about a month and I end up not playing for like a month after. Quote
Zakamutt Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Played some face hunter today, had hunter/something dayly for 60g. Didn't go that great honestly, though I only played like 12 games or something and I quit after more than completing the quest.. Quote
nohman Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Face hunter can be so cathartic when you're on a roll, but it can also be so. godamn. frustrating. seeing yourself run out of steam like 5 games in a row. Quote
Kaguya Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 Wait ... something is wrong here Just look at the "board mod" sign. They can't fool anyone. There's also being lazy with sigs. Quote
arakura Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Just look at the "board mod" sign. They can't fool anyone. There's also being lazy with sigs. Or, you know... Read their name :3 Quote

Zakamutt Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 The brawl looks to be hunter central.. not like I'm an exception. Playing face hunter, but using freezing trap. Quote
Kaguya Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 The brawl looks to be hunter central.. not like I'm an exception. Playing face hunter, but using freezing trap. Really? My first impression was that Tempo Mage would dominate this brawl. Quote
Zakamutt Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 It's still possible it will eventually, but I did just kinda rekt a tempo mage. Tempo mage is highly dependent on drawing flamewaker to really be able to use the bananas, and face hunter with cards is terrifying honestly. Quote
Decay Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I like this tavern brawl more than the last. I'm seeing some cool decks out there, and while some people are reporting a huge number of tempo mages, of which I've only seen a few. One was Kaguya, I beat his tempo mage twice. I just faced a shaman who is running dragonkin sorcerers and troggs, I was so happy when I saw Troggzor come out. Quote
nohman Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I popped my brawl cherry tonight. Tried using a makeshift grim patron deck with low curving minions. Had not so good results, too me about 4 or so games to get my weekly pack. Gotta say I do think this is a pretty cool game mode, though I pretty much only saw tempo mage and paladins. What's the point if you're just going to net deck =( Quote
ChrisPZT Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I used a zoo/hand warlock hybrid in Brawl. Super High HP drakes, free activators for Neru Eggs and cheap Mountain giants. Seems to be working quite well. Quote
Zakamutt Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Hey, I totally sideboarded freezing traps in my netdecked lowfuck curve face hunter. Come to think of it, with control warrior dead and gone and hunter and tempo mage even more prevalent, maybe this would be a good time to sideboard Kezan Mystic. Probably won't fit in face hunter, but might work in tempo mage and whatever eclectic builds y'all dream up. Kaguya 1 Quote
Kaguya Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 I'm currently playing a very low-curve, mech/control rogue with dark iron skulkers. It seems successful, though I don't have enough games with it to be sure. Quote
nohman Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Come to think of it, with control warrior dead I've barely played this month... is this true? =( Quote
Kaguya Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 I've barely played this month... is this true? =( Nope, it's pretty good in the meta right now. Source: Am legend, I know the meta better than y'all since I grinded it extensively He's talking about it being dead in the brawl, I think. Quote
nohman Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Good to see all that $$$$ spent on my wallet warrior hasn't gone to waste then. Quote
Zakamutt Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah, brawl obviously. I'm not sure if there even will be a meta disfavoring control warriors in the future at this point. Quote
nohman Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Theoretically, a mech-mage and deathrattle-zoo heavy meta would do it I think. edit: and toss in a bunch of combo druids too. Quote
Kaguya Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 Theoretically, a mech-mage and deathrattle-zoo heavy meta would do it I think. edit: and toss in a bunch of combo druids too. Yeah, combo druids are pretty bad for control warrior. Aside from that, a paladin-heavy meta is bad for them too. Hero power 2strong. Can't see paladin being too good because "everyone, get in here", though. Even though I crafted a Tirion like, yesterday. Quote
nohman Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 The new brawl challenge is pretty interesting. I was hoping we'd get some challenges that were reminiscent of the more fun adventure mode class challenges. Quote
Vemocleus Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Doesn't seem to be too much point to Brawl after you win the pack, especially on a week where unique heroes are given and quests can't be completed. Quote
