A fortnight of Tavern Brawls

Apologies for the lack of a post last week, a busy week personally combined with a repeatedBrawl meant a week was missed.

So on to the missed brawl, Show down at Blackrock Mountain.
This was actually the first brawl ever.  And features a prebuilt Ragnaros deck vs. prebuilt Nefarian deck.
I have issues with this brawl, and from what I gather I am not the only one.   The brawl seems more favoured towards Nefarian.   His hero power (which is free!) seems more useful, especially as Rags power doesn't get a buff until at least 5 turns in once his weapon is gone.
Factor in Nefarian's minions seem to have better synergy you are getting more for your mana ans speaking of mana even though he has a free hero power Nefarian appears to start with 4 mana.

All in all not a fan of is one, got my pack and wasn't too fussed after that.

Now this weeks brawl is a different kettle of fish!
This one was touted for a few weeks ago but didn't happen and we were given Webspinners again.

This is Catain Blackhearts Treasure
Pick your class.
The decks appear to be made entirely of 2/3 2 mana pirates.
Each turn instead if drawing a card you are given the option of three random cards, a bit like an arena draft but with out the rarity limitations.

My suggestions for this brawl would be a) pick a class you are familiar with b) pick your cards with an eye on curve, situation and power.   If you get a powerful legendary early one then grab it, a turn 1 or 2 Dr Boom, Alexstraza, Antonidas, Rhonin etc is worth it later, you can form game plan around it.
 There is not a great lot more than can be said, ride the random and have fun!
