Sure, luck matters, but class too. The druid's main advantage, big minions and stuff, is completely negated by the brawl. The hero power of warlock, and the demon synergy is out the window too.
Priest is really good, as is mage. I think the other classes are in between.

Also, the spells are completely random, so sometimes you'll get something good, sometimes something awful. Mage is more consistent with that.

At least Warlock has a good amount of solid removal. Warrior has weaker removal because it has powerful weapons, but you don't get weapons this brawl. And Cleave and Whirlwind don't work very well against 1 mana Yetis and things.

Priests get Mind Games and the hero power is unreliable. I think Mage probably just has the best selection of spells, but there's not much in it.

Well I wouldn't say the Mage has the best selection of spells.

Though certainly so when it comes to just dealing lots of raw damage.

Sure you can get Mind Games, but it's only one spell of priest and you're not guaranteed to have it.

Considering a deck which is not built, I'm pretty sure Mage has the best spells. That's why it's the best class in Arena.

"Best" Implies the mage has the best spells for all situations.

It looks to me like Leafsnail was talking about the tavern brawl.

It's not going to be exactly like arena because I don't think Brawl respects rarity, but mages just have a lot of interactive spells that can shut down any bombs from your opponent efficiently.

Name one situation a mage spell (or two) couldn't solve.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

As uncommon as that scenario is, Blizzard Icelancex2 Frostbolt would clean up most combinations of 3 creatures that aren't super fat like Ysera.

That's also more then two spells...

Also I'm not sure if I'd call 5 health super fat.

Blizzard is 2 damage on its own. You'd need 7 to get through a Blizzard+Icelance combo.

Assuming that's all actually in the Brawl deck, if we're talking about that specifically.

And they show where they've been hiding the "Slow the meta down" cards. Seriously some of those new ones are pretty awesome.
