Showdown at Blackrock Mountain
These two epic bosses of Blackrock Mountain are settling things once and for all... with your help!
How It Works
This brawl features a battle between two bosses of Blackrock Mountain: Ragnaros the Firelord & Nefarian. Which boss you play as is determined randomly after you queue up. In the first iteration it was very unbalanced and you would often see Ragnaros concede immediately. It has been adjusted multiple times since it's inception.
Ragnaros begins with the hero power Molten Rage and the weapon Sulfuras, not to be confused with the quest reward version Sulfuras from Fire Plume's Heart. When all the durability is used, the hero power becomes DIE, INSECT!.
Nefarian begins with a 30 armor on top of his health total and uses the hero power Wild Magic to generate many spells. He also begins with a extra mana, however the number has been reduced from the original 5 for balance reasons.
Though the decks have been modified to make the brawl more enjoyable for both players, there are numerous special cards that return each time. You can find them below:

Nice brawl!
Wow, Nefarian is so weak now. I had him 5 times in a row and lost each game, then I got Rag and easily won. I remember times when winning with Ragnaros was almost impossible.
Nefarian doesn't have any removals so he need to rely on his hero power but now it's close to useless, flooded by cheap or useless spells (I got Dinomancy and Sacrifice in one game...). And Ragnaros has tons of removals (some of them were buffed in Core set).
Blizz should give Nef one more starting mana (like it was in very first brawl) or change his HP cost to 0.
My Nef opponent got: Dinosize, Libram of Hope, the "Deal 2 dmg and summon a random Demon" summoned him 'Green Rag '...
edit: Oh, nice. My Opp Rag snipes the Onyxia while all 6 whelps are on the Board. 2 games and I already hate the brawl -.-
still no Elemental tag for the Rag boys
Feels like Rag is stronger this time due to buffed classic cards, while Nef got weaker due to increased spell pool
First but not last.
Such a great brawl
lol
