Strategy[]

Playing as Boom Bot[]

The Boom Bot deck focuses on directly damaging or removing enemy minions through numerous spells and weapons. Boom Bot's Hero Power Boom Bot Jr., and the Battlecries of LegacyMad Bomber and Goblins vs GnomesMadder Bomber also help in breaking the Annoy-o-Tron's various means of giving its minions Divine Shield, neutralizing the advantage of its Hero Power. Due to the above, the Boom Bot deck tends on average to come out on top of the Annoy-o-Tron deck, unless the Annoy-o-Tron player has secured board advantage during the early game.

During the early game, holding onto cheap removal spells such as Goblins vs GnomesDarkbomb and Goblins vs GnomesFlamecannon is key, especially if the Annoy-o-Tron player is going second, in order to remove the Annoy-o-Tron player's minions before they can be buffed. Failing that, the Boom Bot's Hero Power and Mad Bomber can be used to break Divine Shields, if not destroy weaker minions completely. Minions such as LegacyHarvest Golem, Goblins vs GnomesPiloted Shredder and Goblins vs GnomesPiloted Sky Golem can help to wrest board control back from the opponent since they will always spawn another minion when destroyed. By the late game, combinations and plays such as Goblins vs GnomesGoblin Blastmage and another Mech; Goblins vs GnomesDr. Boom; LegacyTwisting Nether and Goblins vs GnomesCrush can be utilized to further control the board.

If you already have a considerable Health advantage, using Goblins vs GnomesShadowbomber in conjunction with LegacyYouthful Brewmaster and LegacyAncient Brewmaster can deal significant damage to the opponent during one turn, if not outright kill them by late game.

Playing as Annoy-o-Tron[]

The Annoy-o-Tron deck focuses on Taunt and Divine Shield minions, in addition to weapons and spells that boost or benefit from minions with those abilities. By giving friendly minions Divine Shield, the Annoy-o-Tron player can make efficient trades with enemy minions for early board control. On the other hand, the Divine Shields can easily be broken by the Boom Bot's Hero Power, and array of damaging minion effects and spells. Most of the Annoy-o-Tron's early game minions are likewise either easily destroyed or weak when not under the effect of buffs; in addition, the Annoy-o-Tron's Hero Power is useless with an empty field, and most of its other minions such as Goblins vs GnomesTinkertown Technician, Goblins vs GnomesTinker's Sharpsword Oil and Goblins vs GnomesMekgineer Thermaplugg require friendly minions on the field to make the most of their effects. Combined with Annoy-o-Tron's lack of removal spells aside from Goblins vs GnomesRecycle and LegacyHoly Nova, the Annoy-o-Tron player may have a hard time obtaining victory if gaining early game advantage isn't possible.

During the first few turns, it is vital to get cheap minions on the field so they can be buffed with Annoy-o-Tron's Hero Power, such as Goblins vs GnomesSnowchugger, Goblins vs GnomesWhirling Zap-o-matic and Goblins vs GnomesAnodized Robo Cub. Using CoreThe Coin if going second helps with this greatly, especially in scenarios that give you a Whirling Zap-o-matic with Windfury, Divine Shield and Taunt. By trading into the Boom Bot's minions with your own Divine Shield minions, then using the Hero Power again, you can maintain board control with one or two minions that stay alive over multiple turns. The Annoy-o-Tron's weapons can also be used in the early game to make sure you kill off the Boom Bot's minions and keep existing Divine Shields on your own minions intact. Where possible, use the effects of other cards such as Goblins vs GnomesUpgraded Repair Bot, The Grand TournamentBolster and Goblins vs GnomesIron Sensei to further buff your minions; a group of buffed minions by Turn 5 can prevent the Boom Bot player from regaining advantage, assuming you've been diligently maintaining control already.

By the late game, it becomes harder for the Annoy-o-Tron player to maintain momentum as the Boom Bot player gains access to more powerful cards that get around the Annoy-o-Tron's Shields and Taunts, such as Crush, Dr. Boom's spawned Boom Bots and Twisting Nether.

Since Annoy-o-Tron's Hero Power will always target the friendly minion with the lowest Attack (or choose randomly in the event of a tie), timing of when you play minions or use the Hero Power will matter. For example, playing Iron Sensei followed by using the Hero Power may put Iron Sensei in danger by forcing your opponent to attack it once its Divine Shield is removed, assuming Iron Sensei is the lowest-Attack minion on your field. Changing the Attack of your own minions with Goblins vs GnomesShrinkmeister and LegacyBlessing of Might can allow you to have a little more control in buffing the minion you want.

Emotes[]

Annoy-o-Tron[]

Almost all Annoy-o-Tron emotes produce the Hello! Hello! Hello! soundbite from the Goblins vs GnomesAnnoy-o-Tron minion. A few, such as the Threaten and Running out of time emotes, produce the Hello! soundbite instead.

Trivia[]

  • This Brawl is obviously based upon Goblins vs GnomesAnnoy-o-Tron and Goblins vs GnomesBoom Bot, an uncollectible minion summoned by Goblins vs GnomesDr. Boom. The Brawl may reference the stats and abilities of the two minions; if a Boom Bot trades with an Annoy-o-Tron, the Boom Bot will immediately be destroyed, but its Deathrattle may in turn destroy the Annoy-o-Tron. The weak Boom Bot is also perfect for removing Annoy-o-Tron's Divine Shield.
  • A victory in this Brawl counts toward the "3 Victories!" quest (which requires 3 wins with any class).
  • Boom Bot plays with the Goblins card back and Annoy-o-Tron plays with the Gnomes card back.
  • This Brawl's first reprise on September 28, 2016, came almost precisely one year after its debut on September 30, 2015.
