I had no idea what I was doing in this brawl and threw together a dumb Hunter deck that triggered Tonk four times in one turn for the win. It helps that the person I was playing against also seemingly had no particular plan.

What's going to happen with Tavern Brawls post Core? I doubt that they're going to give Classic packs but there won't be a Core pack to hand out so...

If they were smart they'd give you a 100g reward so you could either bank it or buy whatever pack you wanted.

I'm pretty sure they said Tavern Brawls would give Standard packs, so maybe just a random one from a current expansion?

The core set sated me for a time, but I once again hunger for card reveals. Show me the drat cards, Blizzard.

tavern brawl's easy enough with a simple demon hunter aggro deck. battlefiends, acrobatics, bonechewer brawlers and guardian augmerchants, etc. you lose poo poo like kayn and altruis, stiltstepper and so on, but otherwise not extremely different from what you'd play in standard

Elemental burn mage works pretty well too, the only thing you're really missing is Raz, who is more of a bonus card in that deck anyway and not super essential.

Weapon rogue seems pretty strong for Tavern Brawl as well. Maybe something like this:

2x (0) Backstab
2x (1) Deadly Poison
2x (1) Nitroboost Poison
2x (1) Pen Flinger
2x (1) Prize Plunderer
2x (1) Sinister Strike
2x (1) Spymistress
2x (1) Southsea Deckhand
2x (2) Eviscerate
2x (2) Sneaky Delinquent
2x (2) Swindle
1x (2) Sap
2x (3) Self-Sharpening Sword
1x (3) Dread Corsair
2x (3) Vulpera Toxinblade
2x (5) Cutting Class

If you have a nearly full classic collection you can get 9-10k dust just by getting rid of the bad cards that you'll never use in wild/classic modes.

yeah i was wondering if you only care about standard, is it worth even dusting the stuff that is making it into the core set? like for example for rogue you could dust all of the following currently in standard:

Backstab
Preperation
Shadowstep
Deadly Poison
Sinister Strike
Cold Blood
Patient Assassin
SI:7 Agent
Assassin's Blade
Assassinate
Sprint

and then get them back for free as part of the core set?

is there any reason not to do this? You are basically losing out on 610 dust by not doing that and just getting the updated versions of the card you already own.. I want to go through the collection and do that but I'm afraid it will somehow blow up in my face lol

Theoretically there's nothing wrong with dusting everything thats rotating if you're only going to play standard, but I see a lot of people regretting that decision when they want to play wild a few months/years down the line. I'd definitely dust the extremely bad stuff like Patient Assassin though. I also wouldn't bother dusting commons unless you're really close to crafting a card you want.

yeah that's kind of in my mind, and who knows what new game mode they'll introduce that is collection based where you might regret it down the line.

with that in mind I think i'll go through the new core set cards and dust the epics and legendaries that are bad cards...

There's definitely things in classic that are rotating that have absolutely zero chance whatsoever of being nerfed or ever seeing play. For sure you shouldn't dust something if you don't have a reason to use the dust, but there's no reason you shouldn't dust Gruul or Millhouse Manastorm if it means you can finish crafting a deck.

I’ve got like 13 extra copies of Animated Broomstick, and im pretty sure it’s going to get hit next nerf cycle. I started not dusting unless I needed to in Scholomance and it’s definitely been worth it. I got like 2400 dust from the GA nerf alone lmao.

I've been playing since 2014 and I have over 40k dust (and climbing). I dusted the Druid cards that were nerfed forever ago (Force, Lore, etc) and I have never stopped regretting it. Don't dust anything except dupes.

There isn't because card nerfs are rare enough that there's generally not much reason to hold onto a card for years and years in case it gets nerfed, lol.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Looking at how scant the Core Set is, nothing is safe from nerfs from Ashes/Scholo/Darkmoon. Dust nothing until rotation.

There are also going to be a ton of cards that were unplayable that are suddenly playable because of the unusually huge dip in power level.

I had a golden Guardian Animals. Opened it when the set dropped and said “yeah this is getting nerfed”. Felt good to get that 1600 dust out of it. I’ve got one golden Argent Braggart that I’m hanging onto for the same reason. At the release of scholomance I’d have bet money that he’d be nerfed lol

And some cards that were playable might become unplayable. How good are token generators in druid do without Savage Roar?

Hopefully terrible. Overgrowth haunted me long enough that I'm happy for Druid to be dumpster-tier for the next year. The class doesn't need ramp and tokens.
