This is my favourite kind of Brawl, because it's perfect to complete "play X class" quests, and even some other specific ones (Beasts? Choose hunter or druid. Murlocs? Choose paladin or shaman).
One thing that would be nice would be to show you your whole deck before you start, so that you could see any synergies that you should look out for. For example, I had Kor'vas Bloodthorn in my demon hunter deck, along with two Illidari Studies and one Eye Beam. The Kor'vas clones came back as 2/2s in my hand, and would generate additional clones once played. In short, the situation just snowballed once I got them into play.
I think this will work out in a control deck. Often around this turn aggro starts ignoring minions to make a last set up for lethal. Not only does this put a taunt on board but the stat buff can help make value trades with any minions you may have on board.
That makes perfectly sense and adds a lot of flavor to the card. Make sure to point out these thoughts in the description box!
Whoops: I didn't think to do that, and I submitted the Warrior version because I got scared off of going Neutral. I'm always concerned when I start to talk a lot in the description box: is that hurting me somehow, because people don't want to read that? I don't know. I was probably overthinking it, as I am want to do.
Just a good card. Making it tradeable is going to be nuts. The idea of holding onto it after you re-draw it for a board clear and then dropping it for 1 mana and doing something bad after that is just too good to not like this card

I am really liking this. Immediately I went to Odd Paladin. Swing first to your opponent's face, then hit the minion on the board. NO worries because you'll get two more that look just like them.
In standard, Elemental Shaman will make a lot of fun stuff happen with this. Pirate Warrior will make use of this on the finishing turn for swings to the face and suddenly the Southsea Deckhand is much more scary. Hunter... pick a couple of beasts to stick between.
I know I am being myopic about this, but if you have a board, you just stick this between a couple of minions and go crazy for one turn

I only managed to get like 13% of them, compared to 50% for DMF. Patch notes say the new achievements take over when the expansion launches. You mean they lied?
@linkblade - Ah, that way. Though, the way I see it is it being as much of a highroll like pre-nerf Gibberling was. Probably not fun to face and easier to pull off, but thanks for noting it out.
Sort of a "Cleave +" IMO, allows you to semi-target it. Pretty good back off of Jace Darkweaver, but maybe no where else. The problem with DH right now is that most Deathrattle DH decks run few spells, and OTK probably wants more draw, so I don't see a way of this fitting in.
A neutral Hero card will obviously cost you some points, but the effect is very interesting and creative. I don't feel much flavor to be honest since Stormwind features only one Mech and I don't understand why trading it makes it better and cheaper at the same time.
The way I see it, the Cost goes down because the Mech is depreciating in value - like a car - while the increased Armor is from all the add-ons people have attached to him over time. A gun-arm here, a jetpack there, etc.
That's my excuse, anyway: it's really about the gameplay. The Armor goes up to offset its lack of a Battlecry and to encourage you to Trade; the Cost goes down so the investment remains the same, and I thought that would be neat.
I could keep tinkering with it, or drop it altogether if people aren't satisfied. Edit: Here it is in Warrior form:
Good luck redrawing it in Warrior, though, especially if you Trade multiple times :(

Regarding the class, I'm not sure if it is better in Warrior in order not to scare conservative voters or in Neutral where it's a better fit gameplay-wise, as you pointed out. When such difficulties arise, I usually say screw the voting results and go with the version I feel better with. Catering to your audience is one thing, but I'd never submit a card I don't like.

Nice, not sure where it will be used but this is a good card.

Is it me or everyone else got a classic pack instead of Year of Phoenix card pack as the brawl reward

New Demon Hunter Minion - Metamorfin
I mean its alright, but playing a specific card for a 1 mana 3-4 taunt isn't too much of a payoff. Id rather just run Battlefiend in most cases
