Can confirm - Brann Warrior is stupidly strong

Double Astalor (quadruple astalor), Double excavates, Double excavate rewards, Double Ignis (that means the double battlecry from weapon deals double as well), Double spell draws, Double recasting of spell you played, Double Okani, Double Fizzle, Double Gorgon, it’s ridiculous.

Good luck out there everyone.

Is this with a Highlander list or just Control Warrior with Brann and Reno?

Highlander list it seemed. He played Brann on 8.

Now I’m playing a Brann Highlander Warrior that just played it on 4. Yes, 4. Because Dredge discount.

The double excavating is crazy. They get to their reward faster. And their reward is bonkers as well.

And Lorthemar just came down. This game is a wrap.

Honestly I thought putting the excavate package in Highlander lists was going to be bait, but it is actually pretty nuts.

Yeah, the battlecry excavates actually make it faster IMO.

Since you double battlecry, you only need to play a minion once compared to the other list that needs to play it twice. Which means you get to your excavate reward faster which also is doubled. It’s disgusting right now.

Just had a 32/32 Odyn played on me on turn 9.

Oh, and let’s not forget that Trenchstalker will attack everything TWICE now.

The Okani is really the icing. 8/24 Okani that counters your next minion and spell. Loads of fun.

It’s actually octuple Astalor

1 2 drop
2 5 drops
4 8 drops with doubled battlecries.

Perma Brann is absolutely stupid.

Yes, sorry I wasn’t clear. I meant quadruple astalor in meaning that he has 4 of them.

Let me tell you, him just having ONE in hand is insane. The 4 basically means you cannot escape death.

Knowing that 24 damage is coming is insane. Knowing that 24 damage is coming and you have to clear the astalor AND fill a new board up to stop another 24 damage is also crazy.

The fact he can do that pressure 2 more times is nuts.

Yeah, Brann never should have been made. It swings the game so stupidly after play and there’s no avenue to counterplay it.

Every rest of game effect should make a targetable object on board that can be removed.

That’s what I will continue to play. Seems like a good time for it.

Armor druid is fun. Just beat a Reno warrior. It was a fun/competitive matchup but he also didn’t draw Brann before I killed him.

Plague DK stocks rising I guess. Kinda sucks because the plague DK mirror is so annoying.

Almost the same as Wild Shaman Quest but, in this case, you need to draw and play the card, just another hero doing it, NP :saluting_face:

I don’t know guys I’m able to get multiple steam cleaners, I don’t think Plague DK definitively beats Reno Warrior.

Pendant naga giant druid is the new armor deck anyway. I bet most of you haven’t seen it yet. Druid plays pendant on turn 3, discovers a minion from his deck and gains armor equal to its cost. Picks naga giant. Bam, 20 armor turn 3. Goes right into topior druid. makes him unkillable. Proceeds to ramp up and do 10 mana astalor and ignis nonsense when the opponent only has 5 or 6 mana. Feels oppressive.

Does it get board presence early?

It doesn’t need to. It gains 40 armor by turn 4. Then it ramps to 10 mana and beats the snot out of you. Its impossible to kill the druid even if you do out board them on the first 3 or 4 turns. Then they just clear all your stuff with 10 mana plays and win. They copy Fae and drop 3 of him in a single turn. The priest/druid dual class cards definitely favor druid.

Well…to be fair, I did say Druid is about to go insane with its greed and insane armor/draw/copying effects. We all knew this was going to happen.

Sadly, this card and the other card get nerfed specifically because of what Druid can do with it. Completely lame.

On the plus side, have you played with the new Elemental? I’m loving it.

I don’t know. I feel like my taunt warrior is gonna beat it for the same reason it beats dragon druid.
