    All the usable quests--even if you can't block the quest progression itself, you can usually play around what's being done with the quest if it's not a near-solitaire game like Quest Rogue. Paladin and Hunter quests are severely dampened by board pressure (Galvadon can't charge, so it needs the Paladin to have enough board to keep a clear path to Face open for lethal; Carnassa's brood is vulnerable to board clears especially without Tundra Rhino and don't reliably chain into each other indefinitely). Warlock quest is its own counter in that random discards frequently force inferior play and deckbuilding decisions.

    Questlock also lost Malchezaar Imp and Silverware Golem. Add that to legendaries like Lana'thel and Zavas that are, let's face it, unplayable outside of this deck and you have a recipe for mediocrity at best.

    Three build-a-deck Brawls in a row now, annoying. I don't want to spend time making my Brawl decks.

    Generally far preferable to what we usually get ("here's a deck of random cards, have 'fun'!"). Though in this week's case I make an exception to that, since this one just leads to some degenerate nonsense that ends the game by turn 2. Talk about boring...

    Yeah pretty much. I went onto reddit, copied the first deck code I saw. Found myself playing druid with UI in my opening hand. 30 seconds later my opponent concedes. Easy pack, but not super engaging.
    If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?
