In my experience, brawls have been fairly easy lately as well. For whatever reason, a good percentage of my opponents will end up never playing, giving me an automatic win. The last brawl, 5 out of 6 opponents fled. I was a little bummed, actually. It's nice to get the win, but I rented a bunch of cards to increase my chances. It turns out that I didn't actually need to do that! haha.
