My Shaman deck is wrecking it.
Good cards to use:
- Doomsayer
- Crazed Alchemist

Haha that is great.
It seems like I only play against warlock. This one game there was not a present on his side of the board since turn 2 as he always killed his own. Soulfire, Shadowbolt, void terror, power overwhelming he wasted to get those gifts. That just meant that instead of 4 damage to a gift, I just had to keep hitting him in the face and kill him.

...and here's why:
-Playing Mage.
-Opponent kills Crate on my side of the field.
-Have "Duplicate" secret in play.
-Get 2x0-mana Crate cards in my hand.
-Opponent plays scary creature to go with other scary creatures.
-My turn, get fresh Crate.
-Play 2x0-mana Crates (there are now 4 on the board)
-Play 3-mana Twisting Nether from previous Gift (harvesting 4 Crates in the process and killing all the scary things)
-Play Sorcerer's Apprentice (All my Gifts are now free!)
-Play 4 free Gifts in a row.
-"Your opponent left."

I buy adventures (with gold) because I've nothing left to buy. Not even dust is attractive to me, I've got like 14k dust just sitting there.
What's hilarious is all these astral communion druids that you see. They lose all their cards so they can hero power a bunch but I've been playing saboteur so they can only play one hero power a turn or I just use my board clear and let them get stuck with one of the 3(?) hero powers that they need an enemy minion to use. so its like ok let me get to the same amount of mana as you and have way more cards and initiative that I choose. I think a savage roar druid would be much better then what I've seen every other game.
@Dei yeah it sucks when it feels like you've lost just because of the absurd hero powers they get. Like when you have summmon 1/1s and they have the poison cloud keeping you from trying to use your hero power for an answer, or same with pile on and the crush or web wrap one. They really dictate the early game. Late game as long as they don't get too many great hero powers in a row it's been my cards that have won it for me. Pump ups and big minions with decent removal has won me most games. Giants work wonders if you have them or if not I've been using frostwolf warloard as a makeshift giant.

Patrons are surprisingly useful, too. Especially when paired with Mukla's/Stormwind Champion.

It seems to me that this week's Tavern Brawl is ridiculously unbalanced. Deathrattle and Battlecry seem to be much better than Murloc, although I'm not sure how Freeze Mage will do (and I don't have any Doomsayers to test it with.)
I think it's an aura, because the rogue raptors get it, even though they are technically battlecry minions.
They're battlecry minions, but they acquire a deathrattle while entering the play field and before that play completes.
What I'm curious about is minions that are granted a deathrattle after they have completed their summon (and the only way I could think of that would be Shaman or Druid).
I'm just not home right now to test it, wondered if anyone had tried.

YES! Mechazod is back, and it's not just a repeat. Druid and Mage take on the mechanical monstrosity.
This brawl is so easy, I literally slapped this deck together by going "durr good battlecry/deathrattle hurr". I own practically no cards, so I'm pretty happy to have gone 5-1. I keep beating decks that look like they're trying to exploit legendary effects. It's kinda hard to beat a turn 3 7/7 warlord.

I wish they'd pitched up the minions sounds. I really want to hear squeaky voice Ragnaros cry "By fire be purged!"
