Brawl of Gaudiness Chalkboard

General Information

  • You get one Standard Card Pack for winning your first game this week.
  • This is the fourth time we see this Brawl. Last time we’ve seen it on December 6, 2023.
  • It’s a PvP Brawl.
  • The Brawl’s format is Wild.
  • It’s a random decks Brawl. You just have to pick a class.
  • Decks are entirely randomized, with a twist – all cards cost half of the mana (rounded down), but you can only play two per turn.
  • The Brawl’s name and effect is a reference to Robes of Gaudiness treasure from Dalaran Heist.
  • You should be greedy when it comes to mulligan – you can play the big minions early, so if you keep too many small ones you will often run out of resources by dropping them all too quickly. The perfect curve would be 3-cost, 5-cost, and 7-cost minions or proactive spells (they will cost 1, 2, and 3 mana after discounts).
  • Remember that the Coin DOES count as a card, so if you play Coin you can only play one more card that turn.

    i don’t demand fine-tuned meta decks for random tavern brawls, but why do they keep putting those “draw a weapon” cards in a deck with zero weapons? it’s just stupid and no fun.

    same goes for “draw a mech” effects in decks with zero mechs, N’Zoth with zero deathrattle minions, Frozen Mammoth with zero Fire spells.
    Preparation is also a bad joke in a deck without expensive spells, in a format where your spells are cheap anyway, but the number of cards that you can play each turn are limited.
    echo cards? Auctioneer? Unstable Element? The Rogue decks are a menagerie of cards that are exceptionally bad in this format

    That being said, except for the Rogue deck all decks had some appeal to them.
    The Hunter deck seemed to be the strong (double King Krush, Darkmoon Rabbit), but each class has more than one deck, so it’s not easy to say which class is the strongest
