I'm up to 3 now. And apparently I'm now locked into Rag only, I've had to use him at least my past 15 runs.

Well, with 10 Tavern wins (3 Rag, 7 Nefarian) I shall call it a day for Hearthstone.

Is there any reason to play brawl games besides for funsies?

I won with Rag twice, actually thought he was OP compared to Nef until I played Nef and I was like "oh." There's a lot more luck with Rag's deck, I think.

That is very true. If Rag can survive several turns after getting the DIE, INSECT power, then you can usually do pretty well after that.

I don't know, I'm enjoying playing this over and over.

And there has to be a reason for the win counter.

Okay, my Rag record is like 4-1 now and my Nefarian record is 2-4. I think because Rag is more of a control/attrition deck and Nefarian is more of a rush deck, I find Rag a lot easier to play.

I also think Nefarian is FAR more luck-based than Ragnaros. Some games I get spells like Pyroblast and Starfire and others I just get a bunch of Paladin secrets.

It's kind of like zoo versus control warrior but with larger numbers on the creatures. If Rag can keep board control until he can start pelting things with 8 damage he has a pretty good shot of winning. If Rag doesn't draw his early removal (like Living Bomb) and Nefarian can get some creatures out and some damage in then Rag is likely to lose. Nefarian doesn't need the random spells to win, really, he always has the swarm aspect.

Although, getting Totemic Might as Nefarian can be pretty discouraging.

So the Brawl this week is BANANAS! Every time your minion dies you get a random banana card.

I only had time to play 1 game during lunch (because it didn't open until Noon CST and my lunch is 11:30-12:30) but the deathrattle Shaman deck I built pulled out a win against a mill rogue, so that was interesting.

Bananas I've seen so far, they all cost (1):
-Bananas - Give a minion +1/+1.
-Big Banana - Give a minion +2/+2.
-Rotten Banana - Deal 1 damage.
-Deviate Banana - Swap a minion's Attach and Health.

Those are all the banana's there are. Gazlowe is kind of scary to play against, too many one-cost spells.

My foolish Warlock opponent was always tapping, and his hand was too full of bananas sometimes, and he would lose his draw. It was fun. A good mill deck would hurt, if you kept up the bananas.

Gazlowe would be crazy, I should add him into my deck.

The mill rogue I played against used Gallywix but I managed to kill him without playing any spells.

So far, my Warlock deck is 5-0.

If I had a second Violet Teacher, I would definitely put her in, because she is just a bananastravaganza.
