Hearthstone Henchmania Tavern Brawl tips
There are different strategies you can try in this game mode. For example, you go with Raeth Ghostsong, then it can lead to controlling the board against aggressive gameplay from Candlebeard opponents.
Meanwhile, George the Fallen’s Divine Shields can be difficult to get through if they’re not quickly popped using, for example, Raeth Ghostsong’s hero power. As for fans of minion buffs, Sephira Dusktalon is the way to go since she has a lot of small minions that can pepper in some damage.
As always, claiming your first weekly victory in a Tavern Brawl results in a free card pack!
