What percentage of the time does it actually favor you?
In casual it was doing wonders. In ranked, it suddenly isn’t so hot. The RNG giveth…
My meat-n-potatoes is C’thun warrior at the moment, but that’s hitting a bit of a ceiling I feel.
This week’s Brawl is terrible. Pick two cards, get a deck full of just those two. My first opponent had Mechwarper and Demolisher. On turn 3 he had 3 of each out. Second opponent was a mage with Ice Block, playing one every turn so I could never win. Hit me for one each turn. Presumably the second card was some kind of additional damage or draw, but I didn’t stick around long enough to find out. Got my one win on the third try against a rogue with Lorewalker Cho and Shadowstep, which made no sense to me. Fill my hand and mill, maybe? Anyway, glad that’s over.
Tunnel Trogg + Lightning is entertaining in this week’s brawl.
Then I got rare + epic + legendary (Gruul) from the free pack. Which was nice.
It’s kind of a goofy brawl, but it is fun to see what people come up with.
I got a golden Onyxia for my reward this week, which was also nice.

Frostbolt and ice lance works really well, too.

Coldlight Oracle + Naturalize. I’ve never had that much fun in a brawl.
These sorts of combinations are exactly why I hated this week’s brawl. Watching the other guy basically play solitaire.
Dust Devil + Rockbiter got me a turn 3 kill against that cheesy Hunter Mech deck everyone is playing.
IMO, the real fun of this brawl is trying to score a win with all sorts of silly combinations. Like Sorcerer’s Apprentice + Fireball = Pass 7 turns then one-shot your opponent.
Mana Wyrm + Arcane Missiles makes for a quick game. To get my druid quest wins, I threw together Addled Grizzly + Living Roots. That one was kind of fun, actually.
Still, yeah, probably my least favorite Brawl so far.
Innervate + Loatheb is pretty dumb. With the right draw they can’t play anything but hero spells until turn 6.
I found this brawl quite interesting but then I never replay brawls after I get my free pack. Took me 3 or 4 tries — interesting to see what solutions other players came up with.
I really enjoyed Raven Idol +Naturalize. Random everything + removal.
Unstable Portal + Effigy wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be.
My winning combo was pally, with the 1/1 divine shield minion and the weapon that buffs divine shielded minions. It was tight, though.
Loatheb + Thoughtsteal as a priest for me. The opponent often couldn’t cast and was replenishing my hand with his combos. Nice. :)

I had a lot of fun with Forbidden Ritual + Power Overwhelming.
This morning I get the annoying “watch a friend win a game” quest. I delete it and get “Win 5 Tavern Brawls” - ugh, of course, right after I post that this is my least favorite brawl so far, I get that quest. :)
I made a Lightwarden + Lightwell deck that turned out to be fun to play.
Watch a friend is the best. I’ll take an easy free pack any time.

I’m a bit of an Arena junky, so I prefer the gold quests. Plus, my list of Battlenet friends that play Hearthstone is relatively small. They’re more the WoW and Diablo 3 types.
This evolve shaman deck has been super fun and effective for me. It’s also cheap to build! Only has one epic which isn’t even critically important.

Evolving a Nerubian Prophet or a Thing From Below is usually insane value since they end up costing 3 mana or less and will morph into a 7 drop. Evolving a Fire Elemental is awesome too because it will get its battlecry off, maybe clear a smaller minion off the board, and then you evolve it and it’s now a beefy 7 drop at full health.
I highly recommend this for the current Tavern Brawn, if you want to run a hilariously effective priest deck:

It’s very satisfying to beat your opponent with their own combo. :)
