If your deck looks minion-heavy during mulligan, then Blessing of the Ox with the Warrior class, for example, would be the way to go for some board control.

Meanwhile, the Death Knight class can use the Blessing of the Rat to create sticky minions in the early game. This blessing gives minions that cost three or less the Reborn mechanic, which resummons those minions with one health. Drop a Deathrattle minion in the early game to further annoy your opponent.
Since this Lunar Blessings Tavern Brawl does not require you to have specific cards, you'll be provided with a random deck. This means RNG shenanigans galore!
That's all for now. Stay tuned on Esports.gg for more weekly Tavern Brawl guides.
