Hearthstone Ragnaros' Fire Festival Tavern Brawl

This Tavern Brawl requires you to create your own deck. In our example above, we went for a Death Knight one with lots of Deathrattle minions. This deck code was shared by tresser in the Hearthstone subreddit. Upon getting incinerated by Mini-Rag, cards such as Nerubian Egg and Serpent Egg became bigger minions. These minions then went face if they still had some health left.

In our screenshots above and below, the Nerubian Egg minion was destroyed by Mini-Rag. This turned it into a 4/4 Nerubian that chipped away at the enemy Priest's health total.

Other cards to consider in this Tavern Brawl would be ones that can create more tokens. For example, we played the Underbelly Ooze minion. When Mini-Rag attacked it and it survived, Underbelly Ooze summoned a copy of itself. This repeated a few times.

Similarly, having some board control can help stem the bleeding. In the screenshot below, our Druid opponent played Poison Seeds. This destroyed every minion on the board, including Mini-Rag, and replaced them with 2/2 Treants. Next, our opponent put up a wall of defense thanks to the Spreading Plague spell.

Another strategy can involve testing the waters and seeing what type of cards or decks your opponents are using in this Tavern Brawl. Then, you can adjust your strategy after the battle. The Priest we faced played Mind Eater and received a copy of a card in our deck upon its Deathrattle.
