Standard…pick one card and get 22 copies, plus 8 random class cards.
I was having fun with Whispers of Evil (0 cost, add a lackey), but then the pogo decks started showing up. Can anything beat Pogo in this brawl?

Ah, this one makes me miss old school Patches lol
Also, maybe Flik Skyshiv?

I tried it, but it is just too slow, even with the coin. Opponent can get lethal before you are on turn 5.

Flik was fun against a non-Rogue, but pogos going 1, 3-5, 7-9-11 will kill you before you can play it.
This is a one-and-done. No depth. Pogo and Flik should have been banned, maybe, but this will just degenerate and do so very quickly.

Yeah, I just grabbed my first (and probably only) win with Pogo Hopper. Not seeing a way to beat it.
stupidest brawl I’ve seen in a long time… They ban mind blast, but don’t see the obvious pogo-hopper slow calp

devolve…you’re welcome
It’s standard, so no devolve. You could earth shock to really slow the game down, but you would be left with no minions of your own besides ones created from the random spells.

Standard only?
Wow, that’s terrible.

Sometimes the devs will realize that a tavern brawl is too one sided and ban cards, so it might happen this time. And I if one of those two is banned, the other should as well.
Get rid of those two cards, and it opens up the brawl quite a bit, though it will still mostly be cheap cards that generate other cards.

Earthshock plus some good luck on your randos and saw this hunter with doomsayers that almost got me but pharocat came in clutch
wow. I got lucky, I grabbed my win from an awesome clown fiesta rng game between me with dragon hoard and my opponent with mind vision.
pogo is so obvious…but also so boring

Yup. I expect to see a fair few complaints about this one. At least Patches had several viable counters.

Easily one of the dumbest oversights in Tavern Brawl history. Not allowing wild cards completely allows Pogo to run 100% supreme with no real counter.
Not surprising in the least though. The same team didn’t even have the foresight to see Relentless Experiment + Sn1p Sn4p combo.
I wonder if they even bother to play the game sometimes.

I chose Hunter and Kill Command and it was over pretty quickly.
How do they make a Brawl like this without banning Pogo Hopper?
Ugh, when the Brawl goes live here (EU server, so 15 more minutes), I’ll just use Pogo-Hopper for the pack and then won’t look back for the rest of the week.

Earth shock seemed to be the only real answer, but even then if you miss a draw on earth shock they can still keep a big pogo (not to mention their dagger for continuous dmg). Almost had a victory but he got academic espionage in to some over the top dmg. They will definitely need to ban pogo if they want people to actually play this, could be kind of interesting if that wasn’t around.

I wonder if there’s some kind of Priest shenanigans that can counter Pogos. Might be fun to try though I’m not all that familiar with that class.
Yeah, Earth Shock merely lets you not die. It doesn’t help you win.
You kill them with the idiot totem. While having the Taunt and Healing totems block their dagger from hitting you.
