I've added Thaurissan to my Warlock build. Making all those banana's 0 cost is pretty good. Which is probably why Mage is the best for this challenge.

Mage is the best for this quest because flamewaker is already so ridiculous that tempo mages play sub-par cards like arcane missles and mirror image just to trigger it.

I'm liking Arcane Explosion a bit better than Arcane Missiles right now.

Played three games in a row. Game 1, Piloted Sky Golem gave me Old Murk Eye. Game 2, PSG gave me Siltfin Spiritwalker. Game 3, PSG gave me Old Murk Eye again. So many murlocs...

I finished top 100 legend this past season, which makes me super excited.

I'm 2-2 using Hunter with this brawl. One game I lost my opponent managed 2 Scavenging Hyenas early in the game from his Webspinners, there was nothing I could do. The other was a humorous match with another Hunter where we both just went face the entire time, didn't kill a single spinner of either of ours until the very last turn; of course he RNGs into a Timber Wolf which gives him the extra damage he needs for lethal.

The Webspinner brawl is absolutely hilarious, I'm having a blast with it!

Too much RNG, don't like it at all. Even the spells in the deck are all up to RNG.

I think the spell bit is a bit of a bummer. Would have been nice to have the spells balanced out between classes.

Been finding Rogue to be the most consistently effective. Easiest to grab control early-game, best spells for complementing beasts late-game.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Patron is the most consistent deck right now. Has been since the first week of Blackrock honestly.

I'll never show up on one of those lists, but the last couple months I've been in the top 15% or so of ranked players so that's cause for celebration for me! haha

New brawl is pretty crazy. Cast Flamestrike, it summoned Archmage Antonidas, Flamestrike still triggered him so I got a Fireball.

This week's brawl is about as lackluster as last week's, at least to me.

This time, when you cast a spell it summons a random minion of the same cost to your battlefield. Note: It counts the cost of the spell when cast, not its base cost, when determining cost of the minion. So if Emp Thaur or Sorc's Apprentice have modified your spell's cost, that new cost is what is used (so my free Mirror Images kept getting me Target Dummies and Wisps). Flamestrike got me Flame Leviathan.

So it was fun for a short bit to see the random things you can get, but I don't imagine I'll play this one much. Tempo Mage is still probably going to reign supreme here.

Yeah it summons the minion before actually "casting" the spell because I had the opponent still get a minion for a spell I Counterspell'd once.

Mage is average at best in this tavern brawl. Druid and Priest have proven most effective for me.

Mage is actually quite good. Flamestrike getting you a 7-drop is incredibly useful as there are several great 7's.

I can see priest being potentially good, too. I'm not sold on druid, I'd have to try it.

Priest and druid are by far and away the best.  Druid's ramping is ridiculous in this format, and priest has a lot of good control, and mind control is the best card in format.

Anyone read the Innkeeper's Tale yesterday on the Hearthstone website? Argent Tournament all but confirmed as next expansion.

I have to say I am extremely disappointed by this week's tavern brawl. This one requires about as much skill to win as Bingo.

It requires as much skill as an arena run where you didn't get to draft the deck.  There's definitely skill involved, just not as much as when you actually get to build your deck.

Honestly I think this one is more skillful than Rag vs Nef or Webspinners, but its still not something I really like to play.
