No Spells in Tavern Brawl Bug Fixed
This week's Tavern Brawl, Encounter at the Crossroads, has a bug preventing the random decks we've been playing from having spells in them. Zeriyah confirmed on Twitter earlier today it will be fixed.
As of 9:40 PM EDT this evening, we were receiving spells in our brawl decks and consider this fixed. Flamewakers, prepare for battle!
Quote from ZeriyahAre the spells missing from the decks in this week's Tavern Brawl intentional, or a bug?
Are their certain spells in particular that seem to be missing?
Have you been able to confirm as well?
Confirmed, we'll be rolling out a fix for this.
Ok. Thanks for the heads up!
It's like two Tavern Brawls in one! >_>

Awaiting for Authorization Issue
Some players have encountered issues while trying to make purchases from the Hearthstone store on mobile devices. Sapperwix laid out a couple of steps to follow to try and resolve the issue.
Quote from SapperwixHey all,
Wanted to provide some context since I know a handful of you are running into the issue where the client sticks on the Waiting For Authorization spinner. Basically when a purchase fails (due to loss of connection to the shop or errors in the processing) we attempt to resolve by trying to continue to communicate with the storefront. There are other things going on to stop you from making duplicate purchases because duplicate purchases only makes the problem bigger and broader, this was a part of the issues experienced back during Naxx launch.
Anyways, we do have a way to self-fix your client if you get stuck in Waiting For Auth loop.
Steps to fix1. Completely close your client (by removing it from active applications on your device) and restart it.
2. Let it sit on the Waiting for Auth spinner for about 10 minutes. I know it's a bit long, we're working on it but right now it's the safest way to insure we don't lose the transaction.
3. Close and restart your client again.
4. The purchase should be resolved as either a pass where you receive your product or a fail where you can get back to the shop.
Thanks for your patience as we continue to improve our processes.
Wish i got to partake in this bugged brawl, sounds fun
No spells was fun though :LLL
Yeah, thanks for reporting and ruining the fun in this Brawl. It's totally boring now.
New meta, both arena and ladder, finally feels challenging again.
Thanks jeebus, I was getting tired of Aldor Peacekeepers shutting down all my minions. But really, how did this issue not get caught before pushing it live? That's a super basic thing to check. Oh well, its fixed so "yay".
IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT THE SPELLS
PJSalt all the fun is lost
Yeah, my Kirin Tor Mages had a really great time in brawl yesterday...
I'm loving the new arena meta. I had my first 12 win runs on consecutive days.
Thank God they fixed that bug. I losted so many games to it.
It was better without spells, it had arena feel to it and skill was involved. Oh well.
This brawl is kinda mehhh but that goes for all the tavern brawls.
The only week is truly had a fun time and played to almost 100 wins was the week when everyone started at 10 mana.
And only because finally Miracoli was viable again. rip Miracoli BibleThump
Glad to see things are running nice and smooth at Blizzard just now.
Fun brawl, slightly unoriginal but still :p
Yea, me too.
Yeah its fun .... if you know before hand and don't select certain heroes who are useless without spells, explains why i got stomped as mage and rouge :)
nice brawl. but 3 weapon related cards with warlock suck haha, but it was fun!
I thought something seemed a tad easy when fighting mages...
Except all the effing secrets.
I know, It was so much fun having to not worry about thinking do they have or not have a Flamestrike on them (THEY ALWAYS DO EXCEPT FOR WHEN I PLAY).
I was quite happy earlier to learn that is was a bug. I was playing Paladin in the Brawl and I must have played Mysterious Challenger as a dead card 5 times. Of course, there would still be that RNG factor of getting secrets in the deck in the first place, but it was a shame that I never even had the chance of it working.
The no spells thing did help me out though quite a bit when I dropped 3 consecutive Bolvar Fordragon.
Still lost that game, but damn was that beautiful.
