The decks you need to win Hearthstone’s Dual Class Brawliseum Tavern Brawl

This week’s Tavern Brawl on Hearthstone is a Brawliseum (the “normal” one, not the super-expensive Heroic one) with a twist: you’ll be using cards from two classes at the same time. You’ll build a special dual-class deck and enter a “mini-tournament” of sorts, all the way to six wins or three losses.

Your first run is free and even a disastrous result of 0-3 (which we hope you don’t get!) will result in a few rewards for you, so there’s no reason not to try it. Read on to learn all about this Dual Class Brawliseum, and find some decks!

Tavern Brawl basics

• Name: Dual Class Brawliseum
• Description: Build a Standard deck from 2 classes! Compete for glory in the Brawliseum!
• Fun level: 7/10
• Difficulty: ?/10 (varies as you win or lose)
• Replayability: 4/10 (it can be fun, but the entry cost after the first run cuts down on the entertainment value)
• Format: Standard, but you can add cards from two classes
• Type: PVP
• Deck: Constructed
• Rewards: Varies based upon how much you win

How does Dual Class Brawliseum work?

Remember that your first run is free, so you can just jump in and build your deck the first time, using cards from two classes, though it’s your “main” class that determines your Hero Power. You’ll play with that deck until you reach six wins or three losses. If you want to keep playing after your first run (making a new deck if you want), it’ll cost you two Tavern Tickets, 300 Gold, or 400 Runestones. But even if you only play your free run, you’ll earn some rewards even if you don’t do well.

You can interrupt your run at any point and pick it up later, so don’t worry about rushing through all of your matches at once. The game tries to queue you against players that have a similar win-loss ratio to what you have at the moment, so the more you win, the tougher the opponents you’ll face. Conversely, if you lose a game or two, you should face weaker opponents.

What decks do I need to win the Dual Class Brawliseum?

We don’t have a big selection of decks this week, since dual class decks aren’t part of the Standard or Wild ladders, so players are scrambling to build brand new decks that haven’t really been tested before. Because there’s no meta (yet), that can make this new game mode refreshing, but it also means finding a great deck to play is a challenge. Still, we do have a few deck options to help you win this brawl, and we’ll update this post with more as they become available in the next days.

Update: We’ve added a few more decks to the list.

Protoss Mage + Druid

• Ugh. I can’t believe I’m deliberately recommending Protoss Mage to people. Ugh. UGH.
• Anwyay, Protoss Mage is a really strong (and non-interactive) deck, and it works pretty well for the purposes of this Dual Class Brawliseum, simply by adding a few Druid cards. You’ll win by using the infuriating Sleet Skater to keep freezing your opponent’s biggest minion, and generally stalling the game and playing Protoss cards to reduce the cost of future Protoss cards until you can play your Colossus and win, in a very “fun and interactive” way. Have fun (because your opponent surely won’t).

Aggro Demon Hunter + Paladin

• Aggro Demon Hunter is a pretty solid deck at the moment, and the addition of Paladin cards, with powerful buffs like Busy-Bot and Crusader Aura, can make it truly scary. Control the board a little with your weapons and Rush minions, always be aware of your Dormant effects so you can cast Perennial Serpent for only four mana, and learn to use Kayn and Zilliax to close your games.

Quest Mage + Rogue

• Quest Mage is a super fun deck, if not very strong. Hopefully the addition of Rogue cards like Merchant of Legend and and Cultist Map can give it the boost it needs (in addition to the ever-useful Preparation). Your goal is to Discover cards fast to complete your Quest, and then use strong effects like Relic of Kings with your Quest Reward.

Protoss Rogue + Priest

• The idea here is to use the usual Protoss Rogue win condition, summoning your Dark Templar and High Templar as soon as you can, but using Priest shenanigans to revive and copy them for extra Archon goodness.

Aura Paladin + Warrior

• Aura Paladin is a powerful deck, and here it gets boosted by Warrior cards such as Dwarf Planet, which can greatly benefit from the Auras you’re playing. It’s a self-feeding loop of win!

Two classes at the same time means more fun, but higher power

The main draw of this Tavern Brawl is, without a doubt, getting to use cards from two classes at the same time, which really amplifies the power levels of most decks. Players tend to take decks that already work and add strong cards that they wouldn’t normally have access to, which can cover weakness or enhance strengths.

Because of that, Brawliseum might become a little frustrating for players who are less experienced or don’t have large collections. An enemy might be able to steamroll you if they get lucky with their draws. Still, don’t be disheartened: remember that even if your results aren’t great, you’ll walk away with some rewards. So try to have fun!
