I've been playing HS for about two and a half years and have spent approximately $1,500 on the game. One of the reasons that I enjoy playing video games is that I find in them a small escape from some of the negative aspects of everyday life--one of which is the progressive destruction of beneficial age-old ideas, practices, and institutions in our society. This erosion has become increasingly widespread in recent years. You can see evidence of it in people's preoccupation with political correctness and the eagerness with which those in high-profile positions in business and politics kowtow at the demands of any special interest group able to feign sufficient outrage.
I'll take Dave Kosak at his word that these recent changes to card and hero art were not made because of external pressures, but because "We went back and really just brought everything up to our standards." Whether these changes were made because those making the decisions at Blizzard believe in this sort of political correctness or because they wanted to cater to those who do, I won't be spending another penny on HS.
It's nice that there's nothing associated with this adventure that can't be obtained by buying the wings with gold. I expected that they would lock part of the reward (e.g. a cardback, Zayle, or the golden pack) behind a paywall. Thank you, Blizzard :)
Seems like a less expensive format, which could be good for giving players who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford to field a competitive lineup access to tournament play.
The first time this brawl showed up, I didn't get the mechanic at first either. Since copies of any cards you play go into your deck and your hand gets shuffled into your deck at the end of your turn, it's to your advantage to play every card you can--even chickens. Also, as GetchX mentioned above, it's best not to pick cards that add cheap tokens to your hand (e.g. Drygulch Jailor).
I tried deleting cookies, temporary Internet files, etc., and that didn't solve the issue. I even downloaded and ran CCleaner, and that didn't help, either.
Just wanted to see if this is a me-problem or a widespread issue (and alert Fluxflashor if it's the latter).
I noticed last night (8/17/2018) that Hearthpwn wouldn't work on Chrome, and I thought that maybe it was down for maintenance. Then, this morning I realized that it was still like this. I am able to open it in Incognito Mode on Chrome though o.O

I'm surprised to see so many people say that Nefarian is a free win. In the six or so games that I played, Rag won every game but one.

I would have been happier to see this brawl if it had been announced before I used all my gold on packs yesterday.

Beautiful artwork and fun effect. Day one golden craft for me!

Thank you, Blizzard, for sending out packs so quickly! (...which hasn't always happened in the past)

Hopefully, we'll see people experimenting with new decks for this Brawliseum...but who am I kidding

Gives a 50/50 chance to evolve into a big taunt for the 12-cost slot, so it's pretty good for Unstable Evolution (In Arena).

Agree 100%. This is by far my favorite brawl. Probably the only one that I would choose to play over arena or constructed.

It's the announcement of the announcement! ^.^

No worries, Fluxflashor! Thanks for checking into it!

Anyone else having this issue?
