When Clones Attack Tavern Brawl guide

The When Clones Attack Tavern Brawl in Hearthstone features cloning technology gone awry! This means whenever you drop a minion on the board, it gets a 1/1 clone of itself. This particular Tavern Brawl doesn't require you to build your own deck, so simply jump in and enter the fray.

Although you don't need to create your own Hearthstone deck for this Tavern Brawl, you can still strategize a bit. During mulligan, make sure to have cards that can be played in the early game. For example, having minions that cost one, two, or three mana allows you to have some early board control. As you go through your deck, continuing to play for tempo can also increase the chances of winning this Tavern Brawl.

Make sure to read the card text of the different minions as well. Since all of the minions in your deck are random, you can run into some interesting ones that counter your opponent's side of the board. In the screenshot above, the Coin into Spirit of the Dragonhawk allowed for a ping and board clear on turn two.

However, watch out! Your opponent can also get lucky with the different mechanics in Hearthstone. For example, they can have lots of Deathrattle cards that may become difficult to deal with as the game continues on.
