This week's Tavern Brawl as you likely know is An Outlandish Recipe and requires that we play games with the pre-constructed Ashes of Outland deck recipes. If you were wondering which ones were performing well and the decks to avoid, here's the full look from the folks over at HSReplay.net.
Data displayed here is a snapshot from June 17 - June 18.
The Best - Liadrin's Librams
Out of all the classes, Paladin has the third-lowest popularity for this brawl but damn do they swing hard. We've got an insane amount of health restore available to us, curbing aggro, and our many buff cards are going to let our smaller minions become efficient powerhouses. Yeah, it makes sense why this deck has a 61.6% winrate.
The Worst - Pride of Outland
Hunter drew the short end of the stick this time with a deck that sees a total flop of a win-rate coming in at 41.9%. If you were considering playing this Deathrattle and Beast deck, please reconsider being one of the almost 11% of people that are playing it if you value your time.

Comments
I'm so over Demon Hunter. I get that it is the "new" thing to play, and accommodating my decks to anticipate a good 65% of the time I'm going to be head to head with an Aggro Demon Hunter... I'm just tired of seeing it.
I was one-and-done with this brawl. I felt dirty picking a Demon Hunter, and of course I played against another Demon Hunter. I was actually glad I had some control-like tools, because the other guy wasn't controlling anything.
And I see that everybody's playing it. Of course.
I played one game as priest and it was against a demon hunter, it was long but I ran them out of resources for the win. I wish they had put this tavern brawl closer to the release of the expansion.
In fairness, 41.9% win rate in a Tavern Brawl is fine. It is high enough that it feels like you have a reasonable chance in each game, and you'd only really notice the sub-50% win rate if there was something tracking it, which there isn't.
If Casual was filled with decks that have a 40% win rate on ladder, I'd be messing around enjoying HS quite a bit more than I do with the status quo...
I will stress again how annoying it is that they did this brawl NOW and not 2 months ago..
It could be the BEST brawl.. if they did it.. you know.. on the first week or before release at least that way you get a geniune first experience of full decks before you go to craft stuff..
or maybe bring back whizbang? I never played that card but I really think they should incorporate either whizbang itself or a whizbang mechanic as a permanent feature I don't see why they let him rotate.. people really liked playing that card..
Yeah, it'd be nice if they'd done it earlier and I get what you're saying about Whizbang. But imagine if it WAS earlier and people crafted Libram Paladin cards based on this Brawl... let's just agree HS could still use some work when it comes to allowing experimentation and deckbuilding mistakes without feeling like you have to spend a lot of money.
I think libram paladin would have much worse wr without the 2 buffs it got.. It's actually decent on ladder rn.. So it shows on this brawl.
