    Not the best win rate, but a ton of fun when it works.

    Unstable evolution + Healing rain
    Fire plume harbringer + kalimos primal lord
    Professor Putricide + any secret
    Blood knight + any 1cost divine shield
    Primalfin totem + bloodlust
    The last kaleidosaur + Sound the bells
    Shadow Ascendant + power word shield
    Wild growth + the lich king
    Awaken the makers + crystalline oracle

      I lost the first time I used that … though, to be fair, that was mostly because the shopping was being delivered and I had to baby-sit the dog so he wouldn’t attempt to eat the groceries and/or delivery driver 🙂

      Dogs are bad for your HS win-rate.

    Righteous Protector + Sound The Bells is working pretty great for me so far.

    Priest with Wild Pyromancer and Power Word: Shield is a great control strategy

    A deck I had fun with was witches apprentice and unstable evolution

    Frothing Berserker (or any other hurt-to-power-up card, this one just does it indefinitely) + Sudden Genesis for Warrior.

    Your Berserkers power up every time they attack or they are attacked, and Genesis doubles all the powered up ones. Unless your opponent has a deck focused on freezing, you win by turn 7 or 8.

    Squashling + Mind Games lets you mess up any heavy-summon based deck by using its own heavies early, and the echo of Squashling lets you stay alive long enough to make use of it.

    I found that if you dont have branching paths for mill druid ferocious howl and naturalise are very powerful.

    I won easily with Alarmobot and LichKing

    Hunter with stonetusk boar & dire frenzy

    I used Glacial Shard and Mind Blast, it worked pretty well.

    Warlock-soulfire and clutchmother. Over about 30 games I won about 25

      I used Voidwalker and Demonfire and went like 10-2 so far.

      Played 3 games with this combo, lost all 3. Two against Warlocks playing the Murloc Tidecaller+Rockpool Hunter combo and one against a Warlock playing Acidic Swamp Ooze+Hellfire combo. To be fair, that last one was mutual defeat – I got the Warlock down to 2 health and I was at 3 when the Warlock played Hellfire to end the game.

    Healing rain is OP.

    I used bloodmage thalnos and moon fire with the druid. It work perfectly.

    Just played against a deck containing Twig of the World Tree and Starfire. Fascinating idea if a little reliant on the luck of the draw.

    Copy your opponent with Chameleos and Mind Vision.

    Not the strongest of 2-card decks, but it’s fun and gives you the edge of knowing what you’re up against early.

    Wax elemental + earthen might should block most minion-based strategies.

    warrior: town crier+rabid wargen
    is a ”meta” call, u win agaist all the aggro decks and can outvalue them

  24. WL669#2673
    May 16, 2018 at 3:02 PM

    preparation with vancleef was funny too

  25. WL669#2673
    May 16, 2018 at 2:41 PM

    Feral Gibberer + innervate was so funny

  26. Eltreck
    May 16, 2018 at 2:28 PM

    Thalnos + Moonfire are good, cuz against mage you can 2x Thalnos + kill his mana wyrms with moonfires and against control you can do a lot of dmg in one turn (3x thalnos + 7x moonfires on turn six 28)

  27. Vociferous
    May 16, 2018 at 2:09 PM

    I’m digging my Black Cat + Arcane Missiles. Rawr.

  28. WingedScribe
    May 16, 2018 at 2:08 PM

    Divine Hymn/Duskbreaker is a great counter to minion aggro combos. Low-cost buff decks could be a problem for it, though. Still, works great against mages with Mana Wyrms.

    I was seeing a ton of mage so I went duskbreaker cobalt scalebane and dominated

  30. Brann
    May 16, 2018 at 2:05 PM

    Duskbreaker + The Darkness

    Haven’t lost yet 12 – 0 so far 🙂

      Seconded, I played against this and it was brutal

    • Luxius
      May 16, 2018 at 4:58 PM

      Funny, cause as I looked up The Darkness it says it’s “uncollectible”.

      So how is that possible?

    • TONY

      lose so hard against mill druid

  31. billius
    May 16, 2018 at 2:05 PM

    soulfire and clutchmother got me plenty of consecutive wins

  32. derpiest fox

    Radiant elemental and power word: shield has been hilarious

  33. MCP
    May 16, 2018 at 1:37 PM

    Black Cat + Arcane Missles

  34. Drskoon
    May 16, 2018 at 1:29 PM

    Feral gibberer & knife thrower is fun, but loses to mage, usually.

  35. SupHypUlt
    May 16, 2018 at 1:25 PM

    Hunter: Leper Gnome + Play Dead

  36. Zak
    May 16, 2018 at 1:14 PM

    Lost in the Jungle + Lightfused Stegadon has been pretty good.

  37. Jdking
    May 16, 2018 at 12:57 PM

    Hallucination+eviscerate
    Why limit yourself to 2 cards?

  38. Zak
    May 16, 2018 at 12:50 PM

    Naturalize + Ferocious Howl.

  39. Indigo
    May 16, 2018 at 12:30 PM

    Just did Eviscerate and sinister strike…

    Mill Druid: Naturalize + Forest Guide

    Usually the Murloc Combos tear apart pretty much everything.. Gotta test Glinda and Snoflip Pingu tho.

  42. Sirius Cord
    May 16, 2018 at 12:03 PM

    Genn Greymane + Flametongue Totem worked for me

  43. Govid
    May 16, 2018 at 12:01 PM

    Shaman: Glacial Shard + Earthen Might.
    They can’t attack, you buff your minions and get random elementals. Great combo. Easy win.

  44. lovetm

    Soulfire+Clutchmother Zavas

    Yes! Finally a cool Tavernbrawl again 😀

  49. Martian
    May 16, 2018 at 9:51 AM

    Acidic Swamp Ooze and Hellfire, it’s the perfect combo!

  50. Joeydungee
    May 16, 2018 at 9:41 AM

    Found success with Nourish and Arcane Tyrant. Drawing 3 cards and playing 3+ free 4/4’s on turn 5 (or 4 with coin).

    • Stonekeep - Site Admin
      May 16, 2018 at 9:59 AM

      The problem is that if you don’t do anything for the first 4 turns, you’re probably dead against most of the decks.

      • Joeydungee
        May 16, 2018 at 10:30 AM

        Yeah, that happened to me as well. I ended up facing some less-agro decks and it worked better against that
