Tavern Brawls in Hearthstone offer a fun and often chaotic change of pace from the usual competitive ladder. "Pick a Hand, Any Hand" is one such Brawl with a unique twist – you build a deck that consists of only seven cards! The rest of your deck is filled with Unstable Portals, making this format both strategic and incredibly unpredictable.

Understanding the Format

Here's how the "Pick a Hand, Any Hand" Tavern Brawl works:

1. Choose Your Class: Select your favorite Hearthstone class.
2. Build a Mini-Deck: Choose seven cards that will form the core of your strategy.
3. Unstable Portals Aplenty: The rest of your deck is automatically filled with Unstable Portal spells.
4. Mulligan Strategically: Remember, your mulligan happens before the Unstable Portals fill your deck. This means you're guaranteed to draw the cards you chose if you go second and have a very high chance if you go first.

Strategies and Tips

• Combo Potential: Because you can guarantee certain cards in your opening hand, focus on building combos around them.
• Early Game Dominance: Select cards with powerful early turns to capitalize on your predictable opening hand.
• Resource Management: The Unstable Portals you receive can offer both advantages and disadvantages. Adapt to the randomness and try to play around what you're given.
• Mill Decks: Consider building a "mill" deck that forces your opponent to draw cards, aiming to exhaust their deck and trigger fatigue damage.
