Overview

This Brawl sees players doing battle using custom decks using any class. At the start of the game, players are allowed to choose one from 4 of 6 possible Fate cards. Each Fate card puts into effect a special aura, affecting the game for both players. Fate card auras last for the rest of the match, and cannot be removed.

Subsequently, when a player is reduced to 20 Health or below, at the start of their next turn they are allowed to choose one from 4 of 6 possible Dire Fate cards. Dire Fate cards mostly also put special auras into play, but have stronger effects than the Fate cards.

Notes

• There are several types of special cards.
  • Some are simple spells: Dire Fate: Murlocs, Dire Fate: Unstable Portals and Fate: Portals. These take effect only once, immediately after being selected.
  • Some create ongoing effects which continually affect the game's rules: Fate: Armor, Fate: Confusion and Fate: Spells. These take place automatically and cannot be prevented.
  • Some grant special enchantments to minions. There are two ways this can be achieved:
    • Some continually grant enchantments to all minions: Fate: Bananas, Fate: Coin and Dire Fate: Card. These auras cannot be Silenced, cancelled or removed in any way. This functions like an ongoing effect a source such as Raid Leader, except that the source of the aura cannot be targeted or affected in any way.
    • Some grant an enchantment when a minion is played from the hand: Dire Fate: Taunt and Charge and Dire Fate: Windfury. These can be removed via Silence effects, and are not granted to minions put into play through other means.
    • The behaviour of Dire Fate: Manaburst has not yet been tested, but likely fits one of these two types.

Specific cards

• The Deathrattle granted by Fate: Bananas generates a random Banana card (see above).
• Fate: Armor takes effect immediately after being selected.

Strategy

Despite the random Fates, monsters with balanced Health, combined with spell-synergy monsters such as Mana Wyrm or Flamewaker can minimize the change within your deck. Warrior goes well with the Armor boost, and a Murloc deck works well with the murloc boost. Potentially a lot of ways to trigger rogue's combos e.g. with extra coins, bananas etc.

Trivia

• This is the second Brawl to feature "auras" which are not attached to minions, following Battle of the Builds.
