Battle of the Bans

Pick four cards. Your opponent will BAN one of them, then we'll make you a deck full of the cards remaining.


How it Works

  • Choose four cards that you would like a deck created from.
  • Your opponent gets to ban one of your four cards.
  • A deck is automatically created using your remaining three cards. (10 of each card)

      This one was a lot of fun, and most of the time Wailing Vapor got banned.
      One match I lost was to an Astalor "deck", thinking that I had banned the key card.

    Well here is what I did it with this time around, and if you want to do some DK. Just a face deck really make sure to intermingle hero power for max face damage as it is really cheap (especially if they ban the Glacial Advance)

    Just go face DK for Battle of Bans brawl

      This worked like a charm: ran right into a DH running Relics. I banned the Relic of Phantasms, obviously, and they banned Glacial Advance, leaving Icy Touch to finish denying them the ability to do...well, anything lmao :D

    I went really simple with Leper Gnome, Sandtrooper, Loot Hoarder, and Power Word: Shield.  It worked well enough.

    Draw cards for reload, deathrattle damage for more SMOrc.  If you face someone without removal (or refusing to remove like the Ignite guy I fought) you just build a board and smash their face.

    Super simple list.  The one class card could be replaced with anything else to do the same on other classes.

    I did an old school Druid milldeck with Oracle and Naturalize. The trick was to convince the opponent that something else than Naturalize was dangerous. So i got that squirrel that hides nuts in your deck, hoping the opponent would think that was the point of Oracle.

    Well it worked fine the first opponent, he banned the squirrel and then was milled to hell. Didn't really try any after.

    How is it there are two week old comments in this article?  The brawl didn't occur then.

     

    I get the older brawl comments show up here but, hmmm...

      I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing 3 months, 2 weeks though. Perhaps you missed the 3 months part?

    I still don't understand Blizzard's insistence on cycling the same fifteen brawls on repeat forever. I get that no one is developing them anymore, but there are so many. There is no reason to repeat brawls more than once a year.

      To be honest there really isn't a huge list of good brawls, and it would seem that they've at least remove some of the less popular ones like raven idols or macaws. At this point its really just a free pack per week, which isn't the worst thing ever.

        I love the Raven Idols brawl.

        More brawls in rotation means more people get something interesting more often. Not every brawl is meant to be for everyone.

    Currently having quite a blast with this deck. It can stave off pressure very well with Plating and Brawls. It also has value generation/win condition.

    I've had good results with the following deck. It seems to confuse opponents; read the deck guide for details.

    A bit late in the week, but if you just got the "Win 5 times in Arena, Battlegrounds, Duels or Tavern Brawl" weekly quest, this is a nice way to complete it.

    My favourite used to be Edwin, Pogo Hopper, counterfeit coin, shadowstep. Or Secret Passage. But unfortunately I dissed Edwin, and I couldn't think of a replacement.

    Possibly my favourite Brawl. Quick to create decks, and the games are usually fun.

    I like how you can extract the essence of an old deck using 4 (more like 3 in the end..) cards.

    Today I faced a spell damage mage, a bunny thief, a discard warlock (ouch), a deck-destroying warlock (nearly got me!), a squirrel druid and a murloc shaman (who both smashed me)....

    Cheap Discover bodies or spells are such fun...yes I miss lackeys!

    Even though it's still RNG based, somehow here I feel like I chose and deserve what I receive, compared with the Brawls where the Tavern mechanics force-feed you with its own RNG mechanics.

    Wonder if the timing was on purpose, considering that they just wild-banned stealer of souls.
