Hello, welcome to another Tavern Brawl. I'm Alex Seabort, joined again by Mattikus. Hello, Mattikus
0:07
Hello. We had a good one this week. What's that? We had a good one this week
0:11
Oh yeah, this week's the return of the Co-op Brawl, Unite Against Mechazod
0:15
I think rather than explain it, we should just jump in and do it
0:19
It's cooperative, we have to work together to defeat Mechazod. It's hard to explain until you're in it, because it works kind of funky, crammed into the Hearthstone system
0:30
Yeah, and this is the one that actually, I think it debuted at BlizzCon last year, and Alex and I both missed out on it
0:36
We didn't get a chance to really make a video of this one, because we were at the con
0:40
Yeah, we got to play the Druid Mage version, which came later, but this is back to Paladin Priest, which was the original Mechazod
0:47
Oh, I get to play Paladin today. Okay. Ooh, Priest again. Yeah, so we have to work together to take down Mechazod, who has, what, 95-something health
0:56
Yeah, and I'm going to use my Mulligan to basically try and get cards that will buff you up, like give you some advantage early on
1:05
I think I can draw into the cards that'll win, but right now I just want card draw, or..
1:11
Well, that didn't work, because I got my Trouts. I got two Blessed Champions, a Holy Light, and a Shielded Minibot
1:17
That's a great start. Well, on turn three, I can play Coldlight Oracle
1:22
Oh, good, we need some cards. Definitely need some cards. Um... what do I do? Let's pass for now
1:33
I got one Holy Light. I'm glad he's using that Salvo when he only has two attack
1:39
Yeah, as opposed to when he has eight or ten or something. So his... don't be fooled by his attack. It does ramp up gradually over the game
1:49
But I gotta say, it is getting a little annoying. Yeah, um, it's good... well, we don't have any... I think what he uses is random, so theoretically..
2:00
There we go. So we'll prioritize... that's his, like, I guess his nuke, and it's always going to target the one with the biggest attack
2:07
Well, you had Divine Shield, so it lived. Yeah, thankfully. It'll always target the one with the biggest attack
2:15
Ooh, I got a Bolvar. I have Holy Champion for later. Holy Champion theoretically could win it
2:25
I do have a Refreshment Vendor if we get it for next turn, although I think we're good for the time being
2:31
Are you going to... no, you're going to play your Coldlight. I'm just going to play my Dancing Swords then. Okay
2:36
And I'm going to end my turn. This is really frustrating. It's just, like, utterly annoying
2:45
Let's see, okay, well I drew Leroy, which I can't play right now, but I can later
2:51
How many cards do you have? You have eight. So playing another Coldlight right now would be awful
2:58
Not yet, don't do it. Yeah, don't do it yet. Maybe wait a turn. What are you planning to play next turn
3:03
I can Refreshment Vendor and give us four health each, if you think we need it
3:07
Or I can drop a Seal of Champions. Hang on to your Refreshment Vendor until I can get my Holy Champions down
3:14
Oh, good call, alright. Are you planning on using any spells? I have two Troggs, I can play one of them
3:21
Play one of them, because I can do a Coin and... something
3:26
I can do a Coin and a Blessed Champion or something like that and give you a card. I was going to change into the Dancing Swords
3:31
I'm not going to attack in with the Coldlight Oracle just to give it more targets for the Salvo
3:36
Yeah, I could try and keep... yeah. Welp. Yeah, so much for that idea
3:44
Ooh, I have a Lorewalker Cho. Let's change things. Hmm, I only have one spell in my hand
3:50
Do you... hang on, let's see if we do. I'm going to give you two cards right now. That puts you at nine. Okay, so I'll do this
3:57
That's Coin. Seal of Champions. Well, now I get a Coin. Yeah, so you got the Coin and you got the Seal
4:07
So that should put you at nine. Okay. There we go. Put some damage on Mechazod there
4:15
Oh, you just came to attack. How lovely. Ooh. Um, I'm going to see what happens here
4:27
Okay, I'm going to play a Holy Champion. I'm going to Coin and play a Lightwell
4:34
Coin, Lightwell. Lightwell's going to heal you. Yeah. I don't know if it's... does a Holy Champion get it off of if you heal anybody or heal a minion
4:42
Whatever a character is healed. So that does include you. Okay. Yeah
4:47
Uh, I can play a Refresh from Vendor next turn. Should I run my Trogg in or..
4:56
See if he'll live a little longer. See if he lives a bit
5:01
Maybe he can turn into a Divine Shield thing or something. Uh, we'll see what happens
5:06
That's what we should do. We should just trade off Divine Shields on your Trogg. I think he's going to kill Cho now
5:11
Because if I remember right, he eliminates Cho after a turn or two
5:15
Let's find out what he does. He's probably going to take out Cho, though
5:19
Yeah, there it is. Yeah. Wow, he's got a card dedicated to killing Cho? What is this? Yeah
5:24
What is this? You get to use him as best you can in one turn and then he's gone
5:28
That's great. Uh, do you think we need health right now? Probably not
5:33
Um, I don't think so. I think if he does another Attack Both of Us thing, we'll have to dedicate a turn to healing
5:42
But I think we're okay for the moment. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to just drop a Blessing of Kings on this guy
5:48
There we go. That should outlive it. There we go. That's going to kill that
5:59
Enjoy your free card. There it goes. At least I saved your Trogg, though. Yeah
6:10
I should be able to kill it next turn, potentially. I've got two... oh, I'm sorry, I have one Blessed Champion, which will double a minion's Attack
6:22
Maybe two turns. Okay, I have... I could play another Trogg. Yeah
6:27
And Milhouse. How many spells do you have? I have... oh, dude, I've got two Blessed Champions
6:32
I can double your dude's Attack, like, twice. Okay, let's see... I have a Holy Light and a Coin
6:43
Okay, we're going to do some math in here. So, the 9, 5, you play... when I play that spell, right
6:48
So it becomes... let's see, Coin, four total spells, becomes a 17, 5 Burly Rock Trawl
6:55
Whatever, Rock Trawl. You can have seven minions on your field, right? Yeah. Potentially
7:02
Yeah, seven minions is your max. Well, you're allowed to. Seven's your max, yeah
7:06
Okay, because if I play another minion, he's going to destroy my field, so I'm just going to end turn
7:10
And hope this goes well. Do you have a Divine Shield thing
7:15
I have Seal of Champions. Never mind. Oh, crap. Okay, let's see if this works
7:23
I'm going to buff up your Trogg, and I'm really, really hoping he doesn't kill it
7:27
Or he'll split it up. Well, he can't kill... well, he can kill both if he does the salvo thing
7:32
I'll heal myself first. Okay. Let's go ahead and just Coin. Let's see if I do that
7:45
Okay, we're going to gamble here. Oh, man. Oh, you know what I just realized? I'm so dumb. I should have played that first and then done all that crap. Whoops
7:55
Oh, man. Okay, let's hope he doesn't die. He probably will, because we went all in on just one minion
8:04
Yes, we're good. Ooh, what? Seriously? Alright
8:21
We probably should have done that last turn. Whoops. There you go
8:27
Well, that was... That was pretty straightforward. That was disappointingly easy. Well, I mean, we did have a bit of coordination going on here that most players don't really get to continue to do
8:37
But when we did Mage and Druid, I think it took us like three or four tries
8:41
Yeah, for sure. Want to try that again, or... Um, should we try and just swap classes and I'll be Paladin and you'll be Priest
8:50
Yeah, because you haven't had a chance to play a Paladin yet, right? Yeah. Wow, how did I get a quest completion for Rogue Warrior? What
8:57
I don't know. I just got a quest completion for Rogue Warrior
9:02
That was bizarre. I feel like this video is kind of anticlimactic now
9:07
It is, unfortunately. Well, I just happened to have the right cards at the right time. Yeah
9:13
And then you played your... Uh... Millhouse. And then I had those Blessed Champions, which kind of did work. Yeah
9:23
Okay, um, I can play Dancing Sword on turn three. Me too
9:31
I've got a Lightwell, Garrison Commander, Holy Champion, and that's about it
9:35
You know, I think him hitting both of us repeatedly at the start of the match was way better than him immediately buffing his own attack
9:42
Probably, because we weren't really as pressured as much. Yeah. Although, he's with him right now at the moment
9:50
That was useless. Mm-hmm. I guess I'll get a Lightwell out first
9:58
Sweet, it lives. Oh, it's dead. Nope, not quite. Oh, one health, right
10:02
Because I forgot it's not an insta-gib. Alright, uh, mini-bot. Nice
10:15
That also lives. We shall play the Dancing Swords. Oop, that hurt
10:33
I just drew the Beast. Huh. Hmm. I guess that is useful, because when he kills it, it gives me a minion. Yeah
10:42
And again, I'm not going to attack the mini-bot, just to soak damage
10:46
Assuming it... Nope. Oh, what? It goes after my guy? I guess it was a coin flip, whether it hit
10:54
Yeah, that's true. It's yours or mine. Um... Hmm. Guess we'll just do that
11:06
Um, for... If you do get Milhouse, at any point, I have a crap ton of spells right now. Okay
11:15
I mean, so many spells... I don't really know what to do with them
11:19
Yeah, we'll see if I can draw into Milhouse at some point. Hopefully
11:25
I mean, the only minion I have is Refreshment Vendor, and I don't want to play it yet
11:30
Because it's so useful with the Holy Champions and all that. Right, right. I've got two Holy Champions in my hand at the moment
11:38
Okay. Let's see... Well, I'll give you a card. Okay. Do that for sure
11:48
Yeah, I need... Aw, Garrison Commander again. Eh. And I'll just Hero Power
11:55
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Ooh, I can play the Beast next turn. Let's do that. Let's play the Beast
12:01
I have eight cards. Ooh, that's rough. Aw, come on. It survives, though, thankfully
12:21
Oh yeah, it does! Wow. Well, you know what? At least it wasn't my Holy Champions
12:30
All these spells... See, all of these spells are really good if we get, like, Holy Champions down or Trogs down
12:38
But until we have those... It's kind of pointless at the moment, yeah. Yeah
12:44
Alright, I'll just... Build a cannon fodder. You know, it's good that he doesn't have AoE, huh
12:52
Well, he does if you fill your board completely. Well, yes, that's true
12:56
If you have nowhere to go, he doesn't just make one spot for himself. He wipes out everything
13:03
Let's heal that up really fast... Oh, wait a minute. Ah, it's cutting it close
13:09
Mmm... Six. Yeah. Okay, let's give the game two attack. Sure... Let's just heal that
13:19
Get rid of you. Uh... I want to attack with the Beast, because I feel like he's going to kill it next turn
13:29
Or at the end of my turn. Okay. Let's do it. Well..
13:37
Yeah. Yeah. Good call. Good call. Good call. Well, in hindsight, I may have just let the Beast die instead so I could have preserved the Holy Champion
13:46
Yeah, I held my breath when I saw that. I was like, oh no, that..
13:51
We're going to lose the Holy Champion. That sucks. It's okay, I got another one lined up. Okay
13:57
Uh... Well... Good old Finkle. Whatever happened to that guy, anyway? He got ate by the Beast and he escaped, and we have no idea what happened to him
14:11
Okay, well I have to sit on my refreshment vendor a little bit longer. Okay
14:15
But you're up to 28 anyway, so... Yeah, so I'm good. And I'm probably going to heal up again
14:25
I'm at nine cards! Um... You should probably play something. Just don't make me draw anything
14:30
Oh, come on! My Lightwarden II? That's just so lame
14:42
Let's draw first. Hang on. Uh... Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell
14:49
Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell
14:55
Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell
15:01
Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell
15:05
Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell. Ooh, another Lightwell. Ouch. Okay. I can start doing something here, though
15:12
Where are my Coldlights? I need an Oracle Bad. Yeah, I keep looking at..
15:20
I have Blessing of Wisdom in my hand, but that doesn't give you cards, it just gives me cards. Yup
15:28
Alright, how can I do this? This... Protect it. Nice
15:45
And this is one, two, three, four, five, six, so I can..
15:50
And turn safely. So, keep that Divine Shield unbroken
16:04
Like, don't attack. Don't attack yet? Okay. Don't attack. Let's draw a card
16:11
Uh, you've got eight cards. Okay, I just drew a Mukla, so I probably shouldn't play that
16:15
I'll give you a Mana Crystal, though. That's good. Yeah. And... If we can keep that Holy Champion alive..
16:26
Until I have ten mana? Yeah. We can win, I think. Do you have any more Divine Shield buffing spells
16:35
Oh. No. I was hoping that wouldn't happen. Yeah, it's gonna happen
16:48
Okay, I can... I can... Hmm. I'm deciding if I should gamble on him not killing the Holy Champion
17:05
I think if the Raid he's going, he's gonna kill it. Because he's already nuked my other Holy Champion, my Light Warden..
17:12
You know, all that stuff. Yeah. That's my suspicion. But it is random
17:18
Yes, but he also does go after the whole biggest minion thing, too
17:25
But it's still random. Yeah. He could do something else. He could
17:30
It's like, he can either hit us, he can buff his attack, or he can hit my largest minion. Well, he has..
17:35
Or he kills Cho. He has ten attack. Yeah. I'm panicking. Never mind, I screwed up
17:44
I don't have... Oh, no. Okay. That's okay. Die. Please don't kill it
17:51
Please don't kill it. Please don't kill it. Please don't kill it. Please don't kill it. Awww
17:56
Dang it. I thought I had another Kings, but I have two Blessed Champions, not two Kings. Because if I had the other Kings, I could have..
18:01
Yeah, that's okay. ...given him more health. You got seven cards in hand
18:07
I'll give you a banana. See, I think the way you gotta do it is you just..
18:11
You play both Holy Champs at the same time, or both Trogs at the same time. Yeah
18:16
If you play them one at a time, they're not gonna live. Yeah, I think you're right
18:22
So, we need you to get Trogs. Is what needs to happen now
18:26
I'm waiting for those Trogs to hit. And we gotta somehow survive that, too. Which we probably can
18:33
Because, um, you basically... You win with the Holy Champions, or you win with the Trogs
18:38
Well... Well, my Champions are go. My Light Warden's out. And you have an empty hand. But..
18:46
I'm full of spells. You can protect my ape. Ooh. That's even better
18:55
I can protect that. Yeah, just keep doing that. You got a bunch of bananas, too
19:06
I think we might have to kill this in the back of, uh... Fiola, there. Yeah, um... Fajola
19:11
She's gonna have to keep us alive. Yeah. Oh, man. Mukla took a bullet for her
19:28
Okay, I have one Rockjaw. Okay. Fiola, you can win this for us
19:36
I think I have to. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw
19:44
I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw
19:48
I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw
19:52
I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw
19:56
I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw. I think I have to attack with Rockjaw next turn, though
20:04
With a Trog. Um... No. You shouldn't have to
20:15
If you can buff it one more time... Well, it attacks... The highest attack minion
20:24
Job done. Okay, there you go. No, hang on. Oh, no, it still works
20:28
Okay, never mind. Yeah. Well, I can attack and play another spell
20:39
And that's a plus two attack, so it'll still stay ahead. Yeah
20:43
Do you have any more spells left? Oh, yeah. I have a handful of spells. I'm just..
20:47
Oh, perfect. I'm just using them slowly so I can keep reapplying the Divine Shield
20:53
That's perfect. Oh, that's useless. Should I go for an attack now or wait
21:09
Keep waiting, I say. Keep waiting. Okay. Well, we have a lot of targets for the Salvo, but the Salvo could still kill the Trog
21:18
No, we're good. Doubles that. Oh, twelve damage, though. Yeesh. We have to kill the next two turns, I think
21:26
Well, let's see. That is completely doable. Whenever you target this minion with the spell. Okay
21:35
So make sure you hit it first so that it knocks off the shield and reapplying it afterwards
21:39
Or do that. That works, too. Twenty-two. Oh, nice. Forty-four. Okay, we got an extra turn, then
21:50
Four, five, seven, eight. I think we're good. Yeah. Four, five, seven, eight
21:56
I could do it now. Oh, kill it now. Or we could wait and see what happens next turn
22:03
There's the Coldlight Oracle that I needed. Sure, let's see what happens next turn
22:14
You better kill it, because otherwise we're going to die. We're dead, yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha
22:23
That one took arguably a little bit longer. That's okay, I'll get rid of it. Yay
22:31
Fiolo pulled it off. Thank goodness he drew that Fiolo. Okay, I think that's it for this week
22:39
We've won both ways. Me as a priest and he as a paladin
22:44
He was a priest, he was a paladin. That was much easier than I expected, honestly
22:48
We had a lot of trouble with Mage and Druid, if I remember correctly. But this was like, whatever
22:53
And it's not just the communication thing, because we did the same thing with Mage and Druid
22:58
We were talking to each other the whole time. And we still got destroyed. We had a lot of problems
23:03
But this was easy. Yeah, I'm waiting to see what other classes that they'll hopefully do more co-op ones in the future
23:10
Because we still haven't seen the other ones like, what, Warrior, Warlocks, Shamans. Yeah, I was honestly surprised it was Paladin and Priest again
23:16
Because I know they'd done that one before. And I didn't get to play it, so I appreciate getting to play it now
23:21
But I was still surprised they went back to it, even though they have many other combinations they could play with
23:27
Yeah, for sure. Maybe they think the others just don't work together as well
23:31
Maybe they think Mage, Druid, and Priest, Paladin are the only ones that co-op well
23:36
I don't know. Yeah, I'm sure. Hopefully we'll get some more cards and stuff in the future
23:40
With future sets that they can incorporate into these premades, co-op games
23:44
Yeah, alright. Well, we'll see. Thanks for watching, guys. We'll see you next week
23:48
If it's interesting. If it's boring. We won't be here. Because, god, we don't want to play Spiders again
23:53
Yeah, Web Spinners, or what's that one with the spells, and Crossroads, and nothing
23:57
Crossroads, yeah. Alright, bye guys. See ya
