I think I like it a lot so far. It's fun playing 4 regions because you can go into some bullshit like Leveled Karma into Winter's Breath and then kill their Nexus with double Decimate.
It's perfectly themed as well for the ARAM concept where you get random champions and you are able to reroll them. Then you start with 3 mana, whereas LoL would have your champions start at level 3.
Though there are some things that I don't know if I like or dislike such as the fact that (I believe at least) there are no buckets and it's more of random cards thrown together from your Champions' regions. I got a LeviathanBADCARDNAME when I didn't pick Swain or how I got Puffcap cards when I picked Jinx. I think that this makes Champions that you have to build around weaker than it is, such as [Hearthstone Card (Nautilus) Not Found]BADCARDNAME or [Hearthstone Card (Maokai) Not Found]BADCARDNAME. So basically midrange Champs like Zed, Braum, Garen really strong.
Thanks :) We decided now would be a good time to talk about this topic since the event is going to be recreated in WoW Classic pretty soon. I'm afraid I didn't' quite get the joke. Is there another instance of druids raising a gigantic barrier called the Scarab Wall I should be aware of? lol
I still don't quite understand the rules of this one… if you play the chickens, does it just go back into the deck or does it give you an additional copy in the deck on top of that? It seems like it's the latter, as all opponents that played their whole hand each turn ended up primarily playing chickens over and over again and then they lost.
Also of note is that for spells like Evocation the "shuffle back into the deck" brawl rule triggers before the "discard at end of turn" part, meaning you quickly get many many spells in your deck, which you can then pull with tutors (Tortollan Pilgrim, Phase Stalker, …)
My experience is not universal, but every time this brawl comes up, I hear some of the worst complaints. Power to you for enjoying this one. A majority of the community HATES this one.
What? I assumed that it was a visual bug because they had mentioned so many times that we’d get an extra two days. It’s obviously not what they intended, so it’s weird that they aren’t going to fix it.
This was actually a great catch and it looks like someone made a mistake. Dillon Buckner just confirmed that a vault unlocks again tomorrow and then another next week (on Thursday).
How are y’all liking ARAM? I think it’s pretty fun, despite some champions (Zed, Heimer, and Anivia) being a little too good. I’ve also noticed that the card buckets seem very random and include some very bad cards (like Lure of the Depths with no Sea Monsters).
We had Captain Blackheart's Treasure a little under a month ago, which is basically a simplified version of this. That one you had a deck full of Pirates and Discovered cards instead of drawing. This brawl you have an ever-growing deck where everything in your hand and every card you play is shuffled into your deck and you redraw your hand every turn.
I don't mind the RNG. Yes, you can get (un)lucky but there is also a fair bit of skill involved in weighing immediate tempo vs card quality vs long term payoff... but the time you spend waiting while picking cards (your opponent's turn only of course ;) !) is slowing it down so much that it sucks out much of the fun.
I am not even to the point of salt... This brawl is bullshit! SO irritated. I can understand things being random, but I seriously have played 9 different players and I keep getting choices that are ridiculously over priced while my opponents are curving straight into Gruul on turn 5 with The Coins. I've even went up against someone that got Jade Idol turn 1. Seriously?!?!? Why wouldn't that be just flat out banned in this brawl?
So did you guys open the 2-day vault? I have passed lvl 5 so i think its worth the free champion, but i intended to push to lvl 13 on this 9-day vault. Should we open or not?
Hey all! I love the "dust cost to me" feature on deck pages. But right now, I don't see "cost to me" on the deck summary that's shown on pages that list a bunch of decks (like the "weekend wild decks" page). That means I see five decks that look fun, but I have to click through on each deck to see whether I can build it. Could you add the "cost to me" into the deck summary? Thanks!
Hey all! Somehow my card collection on OutOfCards got corrupted again (it's incorrectly saying I have two or three of some cards that I'm missing). Can I ask to have my collection wiped? Then I can re-import from JSON and have it right.
(Associated feature request--maybe offer a button to let us wipe our collection ourselves?)
I try not to be too negative but this has nothing to do with skill and is all about if you got good cards early or not, turn 1 of my opponent he gets a 2/2 with lifesteal... my choices are all above 7 mana
Your experience is not universal - this is a classic logic fallacy. It's one of my favorite brawls. Everyone has different favorites, and that's why they constantly rotate through.

I look at it as a bonus, really.
An extra Vault is worth more than a Vault that's a level or two higher, right?

Mage is totally fair and balanced, win rate 100% after playing 6 games with fun stuff like 0-cost Mana Giant, Demented Frostcaller, Stonesplinter Trogg on turn 1, Evocation plus Vex Crow into Phase Stalker, Blast Wave against a board full of chickens, … – fun!

Does it come with elusive burn nerf?
Show "cost to me" in pages like "Weekend Wild"?
This is a planned addition! We're also missing the ability to copy a deckstring which isn't great so that's going to be added too.

Well, that's interesting.
I've never had a Vault below Level 10; curious what we get from it.

Oh also, there’s a rule that Riot didn’t include in the explanation:
”When a champion dies, shuffle a copy of it into your deck”

Another classic pack, can't they give 100 gold so we can save for an impactful pack? Even would prefer 80 gold over a classic pack.

The funnier part is that you seem to think this is the fault of the Brawl and not the player...
