Main problem with H atm is that new players have a hard time getting into it. I've played the game since before Naxxramas, and I only bought BRM with real money. Everything else was grinded and while I still lack some useful Legendaries I have most of the cards needed to play competitively.
But I don't play competitively. And while at times I have my doubts about the game, I still play it regularly just for fun (though "fun" can be hard to achieve when playing ten same-looking Huntards in a row). I think it's because of the games simplicity. Simple games are the most absorbing ones...
And nothing beats the feeling when after a long drought without any Legendary cards I get two in a row, one of which I wanted, and which otherwise I would have to craft...
And about the brawl. At first I found the concept really interesting. But after I remembered that Hearthstone is "all about grinding" and because of the games "specific" construction we once again see that it promotes some classes over others... still I might try it some more just for laughs.

I agree it favours more seasoned players atm. But I believe a lot of games does.
Though I still see a lot of possibility at playing ranked. Too me a lot of the lower ranks are posible with basic cards, and at a point you can build a fairly cheap deck - Facehunter or zoowarlock - and win your way up with a simple aggressiv deck.
Keep at it and play arena to get better rewards. I suggest grinding them 150 G and go to arena.
Oh and just ask us for help or go to official forums for tips.  We are eager to help and give advice.
Brawl:
To be honest the brawls easily gets boring, but the first 3-5 battles are fun. Just like the mage challenge in BRM. Fun for a few times and then it gets to repetitive.

Yeah, it strikes me how easy is to get to rank 20 (I only play it for cardbacks, yes  ). Some players seem like real amateurs (they make strange moves, their decks seem inconsistent, in short they look like people who play ranked from the get-go, without even training beforehand). Whereas in casual I always have at least some challenge each time.
And yes some of the cheapest decks are the highest win ratio ones (nowadays experienced players are able to counter them, but sometimes it's not that easy). Cancer Paladin, Face Hunter and Zoo Warlock to name the few...

Matchmaking in Casual mode is determined by each player's Casual matchmaking rating (MMR), aiming to match the player against an opponent of comparable skill, with wins and losses affecting future opponent selection. So blob2 of course you are facing tougher opponents there than in Ranked play where you are at the bottom (rank 20)

Just played the new brawl with a druid instead of the obvious priest or mage.
A whole different play. A lot more 5-6 spells and a lot of 0-2 spells. So much more fun when midgame came. I lost but it was fun

Stop double-posting
I wanted to try out druid in Brawl cause he seems strong with spells like Dark Wispers etc, but I'm afraid he does not work with cheap-spell spammers like Mages. They'll simply overrun you. Te mode is more zoo-ish then zoo, yet it might just be the best one yet... at least it's fun with things like Unstable Portals or Flamestrikes spamming War Golems etc...
Btw I've had one of those Lorewalker Cho's games. It was hilarious, me and my opponent were spamming minions via spells like crazy
PS: There are more and more signs coming out that the next expansion will be Argent Crusade themed. I wonder...

sorry for dobble posting. I dont know what happened.
Exactly! Druid seems strong but because of the low numbers of 1 spells, you get overrun and have to stay alive for a long time! Which can be near impossible. But it was more fun playing a druid.
Where did you see the argent crusade thing?

Various tidbids of information from fansites. Inn-keeper stories, leaks etc.
Finished my 7-3 Arena run with a cra*py Paldin deck (which didn't turn out that cra*py). Open pack. Epic, yay! Another Mini Mage 
If you guys ever wondered from where I'm getting dust for those Legendaries

Yeah, Druid can be insane in this weeks brawl
Did you fellas know that you can start a new account on a different server i.e. NA or Asian ?
I just heard that and I think I'll start a new on NA and get all that free stuff and see if I can do as well as I am on EU
EDIT Also if you run out of dailies on one server you can just switch

So got myself an Iron Juggernaut in a pack today... not exactly an L that I wanted, but hey, I won't complain. If I get Grommash someday, I'll be able to create that dreaded pre-BRM Control Warrior which I lost to so many times already. Do you guys know if the deck is still viable? Also, it's a mech so maybe it'll work in a mech-deck?
For now I'll put it in my Patron Warrior deck just for laughs (I imagine that extra 10 dmg to be an additional "RAGE" factor )

Not only is it viable it is a strong deck. I think it struggled against Mech Mage a while back so people stopped playing it. But because Mech Mage went out of fashion that makes Control Warrior a strong choice now imho.

Yeah but I'm lacking Grommash for one, and Brawls which are very important for CW. I'm struggling to find a good deck without those cards. Mill Warrior is also an option (it tries to make the most of IJ ability). Maybe a mix of mill and control (with Brewmaster, Alexstrasza etc)? Aside from Grom I don't own Sylvanas which is included in many CW decks, but it's a matter of time before I craft her. Other then her Rag, Ysera or Harrison are also used (and I own them ). Hmm...
I don't like playing Patron Warrior, so IJ has given me a chance to try sth new. Do you guys know of any interesting decks with Iron Juggernaut?
EDIT: So far I'm using Leeroy instead of Grom. And it's funny when the first card your opponent draws after playing Juggernaut is the bomb

There is a type of mech warrior I liked. No Sylvanas or Grom used in this deck so it helps.
Execute × 1
Warbot × 2
Fiery War Axe × 2
Battle Rage × 2
Rampage × 1
Shield Block × 1
Death's Bite × 2
Screwjank Clunker × 1
Iron Juggernaut × 1
Shieldmaiden × 1
Cogmaster × 2
Annoy-o-Tron × 2
Mechwarper × 2 2
Micro Machine × 1
Injured Blademaster × 2
Spider Tank × 2
Tinkertown Technician × 1
Piloted Shredder × 2
Junkbot × 1
Dr. Boom × 1
Rampage is so great I love it. This deck also uses Battle rages and Injured Blademasters which was shocking but neat.

Looks neat! I also want to try this "hybrid" deck with Mechs and Hobgoblins (because I have two of them ). It's similiar to the one you showed me but has more 1 ATK minions. It also does not have IJ by default, but I'll try to add him. And if those decks won't work (why shouldn't they ) I'll go back to Control Warrior with Pandarens, cause they make great combos with IJ and can be used for other minions...
I faced those cancer Hobgoblin Paladins before, and they can really wreck you up, so I suppose a Warrior Hobgoblin deck might work...
PS: I've only seen Junkbot played once in my life I don't have it so maybe I'll add Enchanco-o instead of him?
EDIT: Tried your suggested deck @Minion and it's great. Mechs with Screwjanker value (!) plus Warsong and Frothing make for a very efficient and aggressive deck. But the minion that takes all the spotlight is Enchanco-o (again ). Usually it's the final nail to the coffin for my opponents...
I came to a conclusion that Mech-Hobgoblin hybrid Warrior deck does not work, cause most of the time the synergies don't trigger (Hobos either sit in you hand or they're quickly taken care off by vigilant opponents). I suppose Hobgoblin is more suited for that cancer Paladin deck with Wisps

Oh bummer about the Hobgoblin, although it is one of those cards that will be improved over time via expansions as it buffs all 1 ATK minions.
I wish I had Enhanco-o-mechano It is probably so much fun.

I suppose in Quartermaster deck Hobo is unstoppable. I will probably create this kind of deck at some point (first I need a Quartermaster though, I still don't have it), but for now I don't even want to think of touching my Dragon Paladin deck That is how much I love playing it.
Minion said:

I have two, and I'm thinking about dusting one (imo one is enough in any deck, because usually there will only be one situation in the entire game when you can effectively use him). I think it's one of the best cards introduced in GvG and I wonder why I don't see him that often. With a bit of luck he makes any possible minion a threat (1/1 with a free Taunt is not that bad no?) especially when granting Windfury. He fits into any possible zoo/token deck, and we all know how many of them are played nowadays...
In each game I played him he made some kind of impact. Oh, and remember he's still a mech so his cost can be reduced with Mechwarper...

New Tavern Brawl is neat. I think it should stay for longer
I've played a Shaman deck in which I played Pint-sized Summoner followed by Dr. Boom (turn 6) with Ancestral Healing (!) and Neptulon. Not only is this mode fun, but I think it can inspire to create some unusual decks...
Or a Vitality Totem with Hogger, Knife Juggler and Doomhammer
OR, you can have THIS
SO.MUCH.FUN.

Inspired by the hobgoblin paladin you guys mentioned , I tried my own version of it yesterday and MAAAANN what a blast
Took me a few games to get the hang of it and was down ( up ) to my last star at lvl 18, but THEN I just started to get some wins and in no time ( seemed that way, at least ) I was at lvl 12 !! WHAT ??
And my only legendary is Dr. Boom .
Just dump everything and overwhelm your opponant, then draw with divine favour.
Only real worry I have at this moment is that my other decks aren't as strong as this one, so ....... what to what to do
Going to work on my discount control priest deck and my oil'ish rogue tonight.
