It's all about oil rogue. I have the 500 wins in my sights.

Your Australian computer is drunk.

Not yet it's not.

But seriously. WTF is that little pack in the second pic? Middle of the screen? That was portrayed for the whole match.

Anyway, Blizz have fucked it basically.

loving tavern brawl.

Started out 5-0. I haven't done Blackrock or any of the other pay quests - so i'm not sure how much of this is new-new or what, but it's all new to me and feels like an entirely new game; just using the same premise.

The other day I had someone beat me with "Fatigue". He used "Cold Light Seer" and then played "Gang Up" twice. Was hilariously frustrating. If you haven't been fatigued yet, first time you draw from an empty deck, it's -1, then it just goes up each time. My last "turn" was a card he played that was "each player draws 2 cards". -5, then -6, then...dead.

honestly, when you spot a mill rogue, the rest shouldn't be too hard. you should be able to know within a couple of turns if you're facing a oil rogue, as they will typically hit the hero power and get their dagger out and then start prepping it. If they aren't trying to do that early, then just prepare for a mill deck.

So, am I the only one who thinks Nefarian is completely OP in the Tavern Brawl?

What is with the 5 mana start?

Yeah I think Rag is at a disadvantage in the matchup. Maybe if the Rag's weapon only had 3 durability on it? If Nef starts out with a chromatic drake or 2 early it can be tough to recover.

Ragnaros has a great late game.

I'm noticing that, but it's not balanced compared to Nefarian. 8dmg hero power is useless when the enemy has just dropped Onyxia or filled the board with 2/2 dragons. I've had two wins with Rag. I've won all my turns with Nefarian.

Nefarion is extremely overpowered and you will know early on if you are dead in the water with Ragnaros. Best to just quit.

But once you get to turn 5 you should be able to put up a good fight.

I'm having better luck w/Ragnaros. Playing the corruption and brawl cards timely are imperative. I'm playing defense early - but once you get to turn 5 or so and can get Molten Giant (x2 at that) for 0 mana, and an 8 attack hero power...he's the one that feels overpowered to me.

It'd be interesting if Blizzard were able to release overall stats after the week is up.

The people complaining about Rag aren't using his hero power. The 1 health is meaningless because Nefarian can't easily deal 1 damage via spells unless he gets a lucky moonfire from his hero power. Rag is effectively dealing 5 damage to any minion for 2 mana. You don't even have to last until the late game. Once you get to turn 4, you'll start dropping minions with your hero power and taking control of the board with his time-bomb spell. Always be using your hero power as Rag.

All those +1/+1 nanners being used on Grim Patrons is driving me batty.

This is my Banana deck. It's got 7/8 so far. There is also a Houndmaster out of view but I'm thinking of swapping it out for another Questing Adventurer or an Echoing Ooze.

Possible expansion announcement July 22nd. Start hoarding your gold now. They usually release quickly after announcing adventures/expansions, so 100g per day should set you up for around 30 - 50 packs come launch.

I had Mind Control in my priest deck for a while but never seem to use it - it just gets stuck as an unused card taking up a valuable position. Twice last night I beefed up a Lightspawn to 20/20 only to have it Mind Controlled away from me by someone else's priest. Gonna have to put that card back in my deck.
