I don't think that ether one is strong enough for their own deck. So I'm thinking priest. Issue is priest already has what's probably the best 3 drop in the game. But these do compete.

Well... Actually priests has had a few pickups I think thus far... Maybe we'll see a mid range priest that's proactive instead of reactive soon.

Proactive priest is not that hard right now. With auchenai soulpriest you can go on the offensive pretty well. It helps that cards like earthen ring shaman and zombie chow become absolute terrors when paired with the soulpriest. In fact, that is my deck of choice, though I do need to improve it some areas (mostly be getting more cards).

I just want to see Aggro Priest become a thing, there's not much conductive for them to go aggro.

I would play that. There would finally be a place for Shadowbomber.

edit: oh my god I got my first win in the new Tavern brawl because a Warlock used his hero power with Prophet Velen out and took 4 damage. He put himself at lethal.

I can maybe see Eydis in Inner Fire priest.  When you're running 8 triggers (PW:S, Velen's, Divine Spirit, Inner Fire) Eydis can potentially just shoot your opponent for a whole bunch of damage.

Also Trump revealed a new card on his stream.

The stats aren't very exciting, but it does combo very well with cards like Blessing of Kings.

Also Donald "I'm starting to wonder myself whether he was born in this country" Trump revealed a new card on his stream.
This extension might not be working entirely as planned.

I prefer Jeffery "Spent 41 minutes trying to spot lethal with a deck he insists on playing" Trump.

New mage common.
3 mana 3/4 (Interesting how this is becoming the standard) common
Spellslinger: Battlecry: Add a random spell to each player's hand.

Run this with 2x Esports portal and Blingtron to get every card in the game.

Amazing. I'm guessing it didn't actually draw him a second card as well?

EDIT: Ah, it specifies damage and healing. I'd expect it to work that way anyway, but it does explicitly say.

In the current Tavern Brawl I had a warlock on 12 health play Blingtron and attack in my face while I had Misdirection out. Obviously he hit and killed his Blingtron, taking 3 damage, whereas I got Gorehowl and thus managed to kill him the next turn (with heropower). Never Lucky....

Warlock is the worst class for the Tavern Brawl. His hero power is mostly useless (what're you gonna do, draw another portal ??) and its spells are meh (all the demons one work badly).
Though, I think the worst spell is Shaman's Farsight. Enjoy drawing that portal.

I don't really think your class matters all that much in the current tavern brawl. I just won 5 games with warlock and it wasn't that bad (was doing a daily quest). The class spells for warlock are kinda meh in the brawl, but you'll mostly be playing portals anyway.

Thing is that some classes, like priest, have some pretty good spells for the brawl, especially concerning removal. The heal is good too. Warlock has... draw, which outside this brawl is good, but here is only likely to get you another portal while costing mana and health. And they give the warlock spells to draw demons from the deck for... some reason. Except there are no demons in the deck.
