Hearthstone UnidentifiaBrawl Tavern Brawl

This Tavern Brawl requires you to select a class and use a random deck assigned to you by the game. All of the decks have random minions alongside some class spells. Regardless of your chosen Hearthstone class, UnidentifiaBrawl also features cards such as Unidentified Elixir, Unidentified Maul, and Unidentified Shield.

In our match, we chose the Paladin class because of the potential buffs that our class spells plus the Unidentified Elixir and Unidentified Maul cards can offer. The Paladin class' hero power also summons a Silver Hand Recruit, further increasing the potential of always having something to buff on our side of the board.

Since all of the minions and class spells are random in UnidentifiaBrawl, you must do most of your strategizing once you're in a game. However, just remembering the basics of Hearthstone, such as aiming for low-cost cards during mulligan, is helpful. Don't forget to control the board and make use of any synergies you run into as well. For example, our Holy Cowboy minion gave us a discount on the Vitality Surge spell.
