Brann Bronzebeard

Brann Bronzebeard is a legendary neutral minion card, from the League of Explorers set.

Specific interactions

 * A thread displaying every Brann vs Battlecry interaction in the game can be found here.
 * As of a hot fix in Patch 4.2.0.12051, Brann will  cause Echoing Ooze to spawn two duplicates.
 * Death processing does not run between the two Battlecries. For example, if you use Brann Bronzebeard and Void Terror, the minions next to Void Terror will be set 'pending destroy' but will not die, so Void Terror will gain their stats twice. Similarly, Hungry Crab buffs twice before the target Murloc leaves play.
 * Random negative effects like Stampeding Kodo and Bomb Lobber won't pick a minion that has already been mortally wounded (0 or less Health) or set pending destroy (hit by a Destroy effect this Phase) again, ensuring their effects won't go to waste with Brann Bronzebeard.
 * Aura Update (Health/Attack) does run between the two Battlecries. For example, if you use Brann Bronzebeard and Vol'jin or Crazed Alchemist, and one or both of the minions having their stats swapped are under the effect of a Health/Attack buffing Aura, the Aura will be 'double counted' twice, once per each Swap.
 * Recombobulator or Faceless Manipulator, when used with Brann Bronzebeard, will only Transform once. This is because when a minion is Transformed, it moves to the Setaside Zone and the post-Transform minion is brought into play in the same position it was in. So the second Transform effect targets the pre-transform minion in the Setaside Zone, having no visible effect on anything in play. (Note that Tinkmaster Overspark is a random Transform effect, and so will select randomly from the minions currently in play whenever it resolves, and therefore does not 'whiff' in this way.)
 * This is not the case for Witchy Lackey or Master of Evolution. Minions targeted by these Battlecries will transform twice.
 * Cabal Shadow Priest played on a board with Brann and 4 other friendly minions will correctly steal the target and leave it on the priest's side. This is a fix to an earlier bug that destroyed the targeted minion due to the second "steal" occurring after the priest's board becomes full from the first steal.
 * If Blingtron 3000 is used with Brann Bronzebeard, it will make two weapons for each player in quick succession, with the first immediately being destroyed by the second. However, any Deathrattle of the first weapon will not be activated.
 * If a Discover Battlecry minion is played with Brann, a second Discover selection will occur at the end of the summoning sequence rather than during the Battlecry step. (This is the same time Discovered cards are normally put into the hand.) This will occur only if Brann is still alive and under the summoner's control at the end of the sequence, although the Battlecry minion may be dead. By contrast, doubling every other Battlecry simply requires Brann to be alive at the start of the Battlecry step.

Strategy
A very strong effect that can snowball a game when left unchecked. Its worthy to note that many Battlecries don't work well with this card when triggering twice (such as Acidic Swamp Ooze, Alexstrasza, etc.) and some could have disastrous results if used haphazardly (like Mad Bomber/Madder Bomber).

Combining this minion with Loatheb will prevent almost any enemy spell-casting next turn, by increasing the cost of all enemy spells by 10 mana.
