Nefarian Tavern Brawl Playable at gamescom 2016
If you're attending gamescom 2016, you'll have a chance to play a co-op Tavern Brawl in which you will fight Nefarian, a boss with 200 health! Nefarian, and some cards that are associated with him, have been in the game since Patch 13619, the Morgl Recruit-a-Friend Patch.
The brawl features a Shaman and Priest hero.
Quote from BlizzardVisitors to the Blizzard booth will be able to hone their Hearthstone card-slinging skills and join forces with a friend to take down Nefarian (again) in a new cooperative Tavern Brawl.

Had the chance to test the Brawl at the GamesCom Blizzard booth today. Very cool and I enjoyed it a lot.
I loved the pre nerfed mechazods brawl, this one looks like it can top it.
My body is ready!
"I prepared Explosive Runes this morning."
there better be some reference to OOTS :p
I feel like brawl is their way of testing future card mechanics. Which I'm totally fine with.
Shaman and priest? That's good, think we've finally found a game mode priest can win in.
Meanwhile at Ben Brode's house...
...
You can note that he even takes the time to change his shirt to laugh at Priest.
The only time your teammate is bad is when he is paladin and slams 1/1's into Mechazod or plays Lorewalker Cho on curve. If that doesn't happen then it's always fun.
Six letters, two words: 'Git Gud'
What about when your "teammate" starts attacking your own minions? Happened this morning. Luckily only two of them had taunt.
As long as it'll be live for everyone eventually. u.u
Are the runes on Shard of Sulfuras and now Explosive Rune related somehow to the WOW lore or are they just random? Im interested to know if there r more and what could they mean :) Google spat mostly links to Death Knight runes, which i dont think are the same as these.
They seem to be just random ;(
They're the runes you had to put out before you could summon Ragnaros in Molten Core.
Looks nice!
Too bad I'll not be able to be here :(
I hope/guess it'll be release after for everyone
200 health , um .. guess it will be a fine brawl , maybe it will be the one tomorrow. :D
The hand swap feature has to be the best thing out of this tavern! Can't wait to try it out!
EDIT: Just noticed it might not be tied to the one with Nefarian, but still, it's gonna be fun to trade cards with your opponent!
Phew I am just happy that they didn't include some kind of alternative hero reward as a win in this tavern brawl. This wouldhave screwed everyone up and a massive shitstorm would have been incoming
