Hearthstone
A Less Friendly Game of Chess
Things have gotten a little underhanded at Medivh's Magical Chessboard. Bring 6 unique cards and hide them under the table, they could swing the match in your favor!
How It Works
- Select a class and build a 6 card deck; 15 auto-attacking chess piece cards (first introduced in One Night in Karazhan solo content) will be added to it.
- The starting deck will have 8 Pawns, 2 Bishops, 2 Rooks, 2 Knights, and 1 Queen.
- You'll start from 20 Health, and play as White King or Black King. Your Hero Power is Castle.
- Hero Cards, as well as Whizbang and Zayle are banned.

This list, still good! In fact, since the last time this brawl came up, Soul of the Forest was buffed from 4 mana to 3. But you just want to create treants or have a big board you can silence with Wailing Soul, then buff and go face!
I have had success with Plague DK. Only loss was to a Warlock who play Sargeras earlish. Couldn't beat the taunts.

I have good memories of this one because of July 2019 when you could play your opened Uldum cards in it before they got released... Summoned Highkeeper Ra in the brawl before it was even possible to do in Standard... Other than that it rewards skill so usually an easy pack for me...
Not this again...
Hands down my least favorite brawl.
The player who starts usually wins this brawl.
I tried Steamcleaner, but both the chess cards and the 6 added cards are considered to have started in the deck, so that didn't do anything spectacular. My opponent happened to play Ambassador Faelin though, so it was still useful.
Evolve Shaman for the win here!
it works, but Evolve itself, is Banned, so is Devolve. But you can still build a deck that works.
Thank fuck they had the wherewithal to ban Prince Renathal. I could see it being forgotten :/
i really hate this brawl...
Have fun
I won with this team, but Kazakusan was late & Lady Prestor was dead last.
I had to replace Biology Project & Overgrowth.
A good idea, but I prefer a little bit more consistency:
---------------------
Prestor Chess
Class: Druid
(0) Innervate
(2) Capture Coldtooth Mine
(2) Jerry Rig Carpenter
(3) Wild Growth
(4) Overgrowth
(6) Lady Prestor

---------------------
Side note: During this Brawl, if you Discover spells from your class or the opponent's class, your only option will be the Coin.
I tried Drakkari Enchanter, but apparently the auto-attacks are not considered to be end-of-turn effects.
What did work though was using Darkbishop Benedictus:
If you read downthread, you'll see that other people had the same idea regarding Drakkari Enchanter during previous editions, and it didn't work back then either.
I did a quick check before posting that, but too quick, since I didn't see there was a page 2 of comments.
At this point Im having to come to OoC just to see what the tavern brawl is this week.
Rogue -> Plaguebringer + shadowstep + draw options -> easy win
Another one of my favourite brawls.
Unfortunately, Jaraxxus is now banned, so no fun that way. However, Libram of Justice plus City Tax is pretty broken.
Thanks for the tip!
In addition I'd like to add Lord Barov and Bunker Sergeant.
