Brawl is fucking stupid. They should at least tell you the contents of the deck you are playing. There is no explanation or anything. You click play and all the sudden you are in game as nef or rag, don't know their decks or abilities and are expected to mulligan wisely. WTF. Yes, Nef is definitely favored with his huge mana advantage. Everyone is going to play it once for the pack and then... Wasn't expecting alot, but this is disappointing.
that game mode is just fucking stupid, 5 games, always Ragnaros, and the amount of luck in this mode is higher than anywhere else
don't get a brawl at 5 mana? sucks to be you then!
Agree about the extreme randomness. Out of entire spell universe, I get 2 Forked Lightnings in a row playing as Nef. Also, have they said anything about how match ups are determined? Random, based on rank, total hero levels, or some secret sauce?
1-1 as Rag, got my pack and can't see playing it again. If you can stay moderately healthy until Sulfuras is gone then it isn't too bad really.
(EDIT: Went back for two more. Now 2-1Rag and 1-0Nef. The decks are janky and the players suck though.)
I'd take Nef every time given the choice though.
I was expecting weird rules with deck building or something though. Live player class challenge is pretty fucking lame.
2- 1 as Nef 1 - 0 on Rag. Rag is way more powerful than Nef late game. Nef is also super RNG heavy. Yes you can get crazy combos but you also can get shit combos (I just pulled a feign death on Nef. guess how many cards have deathrattle...) SO yeah. Way to much whining about Nef. About to go 2 - 2 on Nef now. Motherfucker.
I've only played 2, won both as Nef and it wasn't even close. It's only the first one but they can always keep doing different things to make it interesting. Other than the free pack there really isn't a ton of incentive to play it unless you are given a daily for it. It's something different I guess but isn't that what casual is for?
Got my 40 dust and am underwhelmed. Hopefully, they can improve on the "fun factor" in future weeks. I'd like to see deck building challenges like make your best deck using only even or odd mana cards, or using only 3 mana minions, etc. Something that allows the player to be creative and use cards that aren't typically in use.
Won with rag, lost as Nef. The spells I got as Nef were horrible. Tree of life, health to totems and a forked lightning.
The Rag game I started with 2x of the 0 mana summon 2x imps that respawn their dead ones. If Nef doesn't get shadowflame, you can't really recover from it as each minion summons each that died. Leave two alive and use two to clear, 4 spawn. Use 5 to clear, one alive, 5 respawn. Grim patreon got nothing on that card. With 4hp it also survives lightning storm.
I dont know how they even thought this was balanced. Lol. Rag is so disadvantaged it isnt even funny. Lucky for me I've got Rag 3x in a row, 0 nef so far
