'Hearthstone' Shadow Reflections Tavern Brawl Guide: What Class Is Best?

This week's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl is "Shadow Reflections," and it's an absolute snoozefest. Players make a deck of up to 30 cards, with the rest being replaced by Shadow Reflections , which copy the last card you play. It's an old Brawl we've seen a couple of times before; I guess Blizzard's developers are still recovering after E3. The concept for "Shadow Reflections" sounds cool on paper, but struggles when put into practice. Creating a deck of unlimited Hunter Beasts or a Shaman that can't stop freezing its minions could be fun, but it just isn't practical enough to win consistently.

The only class that can get you any wins in this Tavern Brawl is Priest. Anduin is fundamentally the strongest class here, able to dish out crazy amounts of damage for little mana. Radiant Elemental lowers Mind Blasts cost to essentially nothing, making it super spammable. With just one of each and at least six Shadow Reflections, you can kill your opponent in one turn. Using Northshire Cleric and Circle of Healing for card draw, getting that combo only takes a matter of turns.

Here's the decklist I used for an easy win. Mulligan for Northshire Cleric, Mind Blast and Radiant Elemental and it's GG.

1x Circle of Healing

1x Northshire Cleric

2x Power Word: Shield

2x Mind Blast

2x Radiant Elemental

2x Shadow Visions

1x Spirit Lash
