Cool interactions (well, it sucked for me) I wasn't expecting:

A) If Solarian Prime kills Sylvanas and she steals him, the rest of his random spells are cast by the Sylvanas player

B) If one of those spells is Evocation, they keep them all until the end of their next turn (which makes sense given the card wording, but still caught me by surprise)

Sylvanas does this with any minions that are capable of casting multiple spells. There were a few Trolden videos back in the day showing her completely dunking on Yogg-Saron players this way.

I usually only play wild but with the new 10-11x bonus stars thing I hit legend on like the first week, so I decided to stop playing wild for the rest of the month and started doing standard.

What's the deal with Savjz and the current BG tourney? I recall his wife got unfairly fired from Blizzard when they downsized and cut their entire esports branch laying off like 800 staff with no warning, and it looks like he may have been blacklisted?

Based on what he said on twitter, his wife critized Blizzard so someone decided to blacklist him. Punishing Savjz just because he is married to someone critical of Blizzard!

praise chuck, raise heck
The Brawl tournament today has been so poorly run. You have teams of folks you could listen into, or maybe show all 4 battles at once, instead they just show one person for a long time (and sometimes leaving the cursor over a card, blocking the view). The commentors seemed to not even know what was happening on the other matches, being only reliant on the main screen. Throw in them apparently blacklisting Savjz, who would have made a great addition if they bothered piping in audio from the players... its just an absolute mess of an event.

Kinda weird you can't use wild cards in the challenge mode. Eventually the decks that beat them now will rotate.

Yeah, it kind of sucks that as overpowered as the bosses are, AND can use wild cards, you're stuck with standard. Basically it seems like you need to be lucky on RNG draw and have a board to close with an Alex.

I'm guessing no wild was because mechathun is the only legit way to maybe enjoy this. Every one of these suck.

I came into the same way I came into the heroic Galakrond's awakening - build an OTK mage wild deck. Instead I've gone with a Rez priest, which from what I hear is the go.

My current tavern brawl deck is "Swarm 7" and I would not be surprised if it is 90% of the decks tomorrow, as it is probably the most broken thing I have ever seen. Hero power is deal 3 to any enemy or heal 3 to any friendly and it costs 0 mana and you can use it twice a turn lmao. Rest of the deck is token druid poo poo.

Yeah pretty sure this is supposed to occupy the same slot as the Heroic challenges from previous adventures. Allowing Wild cards would mean that the opposing decks are so overpowered that people without Wild collections would be almost entirely shut out.

I’m currently walking through the challenge with Highlander Mage, though I’ll admit pretty much every win has come from Alexstrasza setting them to 15 first.

the deck I ran into was a Hunter one which wasn't very good except the hero power was give all friendly minions everywhere +1/+1 and you could cast it twice for free

good luck making it to turn 10 against that

and I finally beat the first heroic challenge with Gala Thief Priest, is there a decent reward for doing the rest? because if not I think I'll save the effort and not bother

I started with the hunter deathrattle deck which seemed entertaining. Then I ran into the train that is Druid with that insane free six damage hero power. Then I ran over a few people with that deck and welp, that’s probably enough brawling for the week. That hero power - good lord.

Yeah, it's like that because you just build one stupid deck amd beat everything with it, instead of building a deck to counter the gimmick or whatever. Well, maybe you can build a deck that counters, but it's easier to counter bullshit with bullshit.

Endless vargoths, infiltrators and catarinas. Some bosses i had to restart a few times because it was still too much sometimes. Like kael - if you can get him to topdecking and pyroing your minions you can probably close it out. Otherwise he'll 4 x pyro you in 2 turns. Teron was also a bit annoying because you could take a lot of early damage trying to get value from the free clears and get double death coiled, or he steals my minions and I'm dead in the water.
I think the rest were 1 or 2 shots. Even Illidan only took 2 tries.

My brawl deck is currently some hunter thing that casts spells for HP and is filled with call of the wild and that 6 mana twinspell 5/5 rusher thing.

Also the hero power is 1 mana +1/+1 to all minions everywhere. I’ve won like 5 games in a row on turn 3.

I used pure libram paladin for the first few bosses, then rez priest for a couple and finally control quest priest for Illidan (with a bunch of weapon removal).

All bosses including illidan with rez priest.

2 infiltrators, vargoth and catarina for minions
Quest
Plagues of death, breath spell, holy nova, words of pain and death, penance, renew, 1 radiance for self healing spikes with vargoth. Grave runes, the new splitting spell. Mass dispels.
Something like that. Oh and mass rez.

Use quest and just keep self healing until you can get some minions down. Best to have 2 infiltrators and vargoth die, then mass rez for an easy win.

I crafted Liadrin for this, and its not bad, but I think Pure Paladin is definitely better. It also has the problem of being dependent on the right cards at the right time, but no where near the extent of this deck's dependency on Villains. Pyromancer is good in this deck though.
