Overview[]

This Tavern Brawl sees players doing battle with custom decks composed solely of copies of two standard cards chosen by the player. Each deck includes precisely 15 copies of each chosen card.

Strategy[]

A huge variety of combinations are possible in this Brawl, some competitive, some just for fun. Some 'decks' provide reliable but perhaps boring face damage, while other aim for unlikely but potentially spectacular payoffs. A number of decks are listed below, included some strong competitive choices and some fun alternatives.

  • The WitchwoodBlack Cat + LegacyArcane Missiles: The Black Cat always activate since all cards are odd drawing you a card and combined with other Black Cats, your Arcane Missiles become powerful.
  • Kobolds & CatacombsCall to Arms + LegacyKnife Juggler: Recruting 3 Knife Jugglers every turn and dealing lots of random damage divided through enemy minions and player.
  • Fatigue/Mill: These decks mill the opponent, with the goal of destroying them through fatigue damage. The best card picks are some combination of forcing card draw and sustain, ensuring the hero's own survival until the opponent can be milled. LegacyNaturalize is commonly used but mostly helps enemy low-cost minion decks. Best are LegacyNaturalize + The WitchwoodForest Guide, Naturalize + LegacyLoot Hoarder.
  • LegacyNovice Engineer + LegacyMind Blast. This could also work with other cards. Cheap direct damage can be played quickly, while the cheap card draw allows for an endless supply.
  • LegacyUpgrade! + LegacyShield Block. Upgrade repeatedly, and Shield Block to stay alive while drawing more Upgrades. Not too effective against strategies incorporating Freezes or Taunts, but potentially fun.
  • Kobolds & CatacombsTwig of the World Tree + LegacyStarfire: Equip a Twig of the World Tree, then equip another to destroy it for 10 Mana, then play Starfire. Rinse and repeat.
  • LegacyMurloc Tidecaller + LegacyGrimscale Oracle: Play the Tidecaller first before the Oracles. This allows for tremendous Attack gain and usually you will end up with Murlocs that deal 8 damage when hitting. Hunter is recommended for extra face damage when your hand runs out.
  • Journey to Un'GoroCrystalline Oracle + The WitchwoodChameleos: You will fight your opponent with his own weapons.

Trivia[]

  • The blood elf in this Brawl's art is holding LegacyAcidic Swamp Ooze and LegacyHellfire, a combination which is unlikely to prove effective, especially given that Hellfire will destroy the player's own Acidic Swamp Oozes.
