A positive "bug", getting Brann's third equipment by defeating Heroic Kresh instantly levels the equipment from one to four. A nice coin save, get it before it's hotfixed.
I'm most excited about the Duels impact-the Shadowcloth Needle cost reduction gives Elise another 1-mana weapon to blow up Twig of the World Tree. Combining that with the cost reductions to Blackwater Behemoth and Whirlpool means that quest Elise will get even better in Duels.
I used this deck in Casual Duels to get the Snowball Fight achievement. Note, this deck is specifically for use with Drek'Thar as your hero, choosing War Commands as your Hero Power and Elemental Chaos as your Treasure. It gave lots of good chances to use Snowball Fight to attempt the achievement, I got it on my fifth try.
Fun as always! One request, can the word list be put behind a spoiler tag? I like to try to find the words based off the puzzle theme without looking at the list. I find it too quick to solve otherwise.
Can confirm, the combo Warlock deck is stupid good. Currently 12-0 with it, beating control and aggro both. Saw the mirror three times, it's just a race combined with a little hand size management.
One of my favorite things to remind people of when there are complaints about Tavern Brawls is this quote from the original announcement (emphasis mine):
"Tavern Brawls will have free admission when the new mode becomes available. As part of the launch celebration, you'll earn a free card pack when you win your first game of the week in the first several brawls!"
And here we are, 324 Tavern Brawls later, still earning a free pack (almost) every week. Until Classic packs stopped being a thing, I never needed to buy one due to the free pack I got every week. When I opened the last card I needed from Classic (golden Captain Greenskin), I was ecstatic. Plenty of people who haven't been playing as long don't realize that originally we were expecting 4-5 free packs, not the 300+ per player they've made available. Of course, I'd love to see more variations on Tavern Brawls, but I appreciate all the work the content team does, especially with Duels.
Went 12-1 with this deck, similar to the Rogue deck above. Roguish Maneuvers and Ace in the Hole were my starting choices, the deck really took off once I picked Fireshaper and Oops! All Spells. Easiest 12 wins I've ever had, games averaged 3-4 minutes. No game after the third went more than 5 turns.
Also took Goodboy's list above to 12 wins today. Voidtouched Attendant is insanely good, especially with Fireshaper. One game against an all spells DH I took him from 37 to zero using just two Bag of Coins and two Silences. I'd almost cut all other creatures and add Insight to maximize my chances of drawing her.
I used this deck to get to 11 wins in Heroic Duels. Passives were Mysterious Tome and Oops! All Spells. Games were over incredibly fast, my 8, 9, 10, and 11th wins were all over by turn 5 or 6. Hero power was Survival Training and starting treasure was Slate's Syringe. Also, as a PSA, be aware that if a Priest with Mind Tether steals/copies your Aimed Shot their hero power keeps the +2 bonus permanently.
Own 100% of Year of the Phoenix cards already and I'm only missing three cards from Barrens (2 Legendaries, 1 Epic). So of course I get offered 2 Barrens Legendaries and 35 packs for $30 or two Phoenix Legendaries (guaranteed to be duplicates) and 20 packs for $20. Meanwhile my incomplete Wild collection gets no love at all.
Actually, they work fine together. Even after casting Men at Arms, the Recruits get the bonus from Carnival Barker. They are summoned as 1/1, get the +1/+2, then get the +2/+2. I found this out the hard way...
Patch also bugged out the existing rewards track, any % Exp bonuses you had earned on the track are gone now.

Punished for completing my daily tasks early today...

The new patch also changed the Tavern Brawl this week from "Blood Magic" to "Party Portals!".

Yes. Survival Training with Slate's Syringe.

Nice "custom logic" Blizzard.
8400 dust. I guess that's the payoff for hoarding Tavern Brawl rewards for a year.

It's live as of now, you just have to manually choose update from the launcher menu.
This. Sometimes I just want to dork around with a meme deck and maybe complete a few achievements, but as of right now I am only rewarded for Ranked.
I picked up 7400 exp after the first game I played this morning. Pleasant surprise!
Experience lost from heroic duels has now been added. Just played a game and my experience showed over 9K.
