Battle of the Bans Chalkboard

General Information

• You get one Standard card pack for winning your first game this week.
• It’s the seventh time we see this Brawl (or eighth if we count Brawliseum with the same rules). Last time we’ve see it on December 14, 2022.
• It’s a PvP Brawl.
• The Brawl’s format is Wild.
• It’s a build your own deck Brawl. You pick a class and build a deck of four cards.
• At the start of each match, your opponent will see three cards from your deck (the fourth one will be hidden, although it’s easy to guess with more common strategies) and ban it. After he bans it, the 3 cards left are shuffled into your deck – 10 copies of each.
• It means that you want to build a strategy in which your win condition can’t be banned off – you need at least two ways to win, so your opponent can’t get rid of both.
• C'thun, the Shattered, Whizbang the Wonderful, Zayle, Shadow Cloak, Prince Malchezaar, Patches the Pirate, Ice Block, Time Out! and Jade Idol are banned (the list is from last time – if there are any changes, let us know).
