Hearthstone UnidentifiaBrawl Tavern Brawl

This Tavern Brawl requires you to choose a class and use a random deck assigned to you by the game. All of the decks have random minions alongside some class spells. Regardless of your chosen Hearthstone class, UnidentifiaBrawl also features cards such as Unidentified Maul, Unidentified Elixir, and Unidentified Shield.

In our match, we chose the Paladin class because of the potential buffs that our class spells plus the Unidentified Elixir and Unidentified Maul cards can offer. The Paladin class' hero power also summons a Silver Hand Recruit, which further increases the potential of always having something to buff on our side of the board.

Since all of the minions and class spells are random in UnidentifiaBrawl, you must do most of your strategizing once you're in a game. However, just remembering the basics of Hearthstone, such as controlling the board, making use of any synergies you run into, taking advantage of card discounts, and aiming for low-cost cards during mulligan, is helpful.

For example, when we received the Blessed Maul weapon via Unidentified Maul, we controlled the board with a swing of it as opposed to going face. In the late game, we threatened lethal and pressured our opponent to clear our minions. However, they went face with Ashbringer instead. In the end, this proved fatal for them as our Bob the Bartender and freeze effect were enough to claim victory.
