All-Star Squad Chalkboard

General Information

• You get one Standard pack for winning your first game this week.
• This is the ninth time we see this Brawl. Last time we’ve seen it on April 19, 2023.
• It’s a PvP Brawl.
• The Brawl’s format is Wild.
• It’s a “Constructed” Brawl. You pick a class and make a deck with a single card only.
• Your deck is filled with 22 copies of the card you’ve chosen AND 8 random class cards.
• The goal is to pick a card that’s most consistently going to win you the game. Given that you get so many copies of it, you’re nearly guaranteed to get multiple copies of it during your first few turns.
• The best card choices are: a very aggressive card (to rush your opponent down), a card that synergizes with more copies of each other or a versatile card that’s usable in the early game, but has late game scaling too.

Tavern Brawl All-Star Squad Card Choices

Here are some ideas from previous Brawls. Some of them are more fun/meme and others are actual viable competitors. Let us know what worked for you in the comments and we’ll add it to the post!

• Any Class – Patches the Pirate – Self-explanatory, every time you drop Patches you summon a full board of them.
• Any Class – Elwynn Boar – You can usually trigger their effect by Turn 4-5 (assuming your opponent plays minions you can trade into) and then kill your opponent over the next 2 turns.
• Any Class – Murloc Tidecaller – Aggressive snowball strategy.
• Any Class – Mogu Cultist – If you survive until Turn 7, you’re all but guaranteed to summon Highkeeper Ra.
• Any Class – Annoying Fan – Solid Neutral minion strategy counter, you just target anything they play with it and they have to either destroy it with Hero Power or spells – otherwise their minions can’t attack and you grind them with 1 damage attacks.
• Hunter – Doomsayer – Counters some minion strategies + you slowly grind your opponent down with Hero Power.
• Mage – Frost Nova – Counters minion strategies + you rely on whatever extra cards you get + Hero Power to win.
• Mage – Varden Dawngrasp – Basically a better version of Frost Nova start, it counters most of the minion strategies. Sadly it’s a Legendary.
• Mage – Lightshow – It starts slowly, but really ramps up after a few uses.
• Mage/Paladin/Rogue – Ice Block/Time Out!/Cloak of Shadows – If you want to annoy your opponent and force them to concede.
• Paladin – Feast and Famine – Burn strategy, it’s also worth saving them until Turn 4 so you can benefit from Lifesteal.
• Priest – Mind Blast – Classic burn strategy, although keep in mind that you might lose to some fast minion tactics.
• Priest – Astral Automaton – Very good minion strategy, while it snowballs slower than Pogo, all of the copies already on the board also get buffed.
• Rogue – Flik Skyshiv – If your opponent went for a minion and you survived until Turn 6, you can just delete all the copies from his board, hand and deck.
• Rogue – Pogo-Hopper – One of the best strategies, snowballs very well.
• Shaman – Earth Shock – Pogo counter, but you rely on other cards to carry you. Useless if you don’t face Pogos.
• Warrior – Upgrade! – Starts slowly, but after a few turns you swing with a huge weapon.
