The Grand Tournament Tavern Brawl this Wednesday
This Wednesday will be yet another pre-made Tavern Brawl, but with some cards from The Grand Tournament.
You'll play as either Medivh who comes equipped with an Inspire style deck, or Alleria who has a Joust-centric deck. The Brawl will last until next Monday, August 24th.
Quote from BlizzardRaise the banners and sound the trumpets—one of Azeroth’s grandest events is almost here. We’re celebrating this exciting occasion with a most GLORIOUS Tavern Brawl: the Grand Tournament Match!
Wednesday’s Grand Tournament Match features a thrilling Brawl between two potent forces. One, led by that mysterious master of magic, Medivh, will be packed with minions eager to heed your call to battle and power up with Inspire. Standing against them will be the mistress of the hunt, Alleria, along with a full cadre of master jousters who are poised to grow mighty with each contest won.
Starting Wednesday, just hop into Hearthstone, select Tavern Brawl, and play the Grand Tournament Match to get a taste of the fun that awaits you in the new expansion. Don’t dawdle, because this Brawl is only here until August 24.
After you’ve played the Brawl, join us to discuss your favorite The Grand Tournament cards and possible deck ideas on social media using the hashtag #TGT.

Medivh's Tavern Brawl deck is said to be one packed with Inspire minions. Assuming as a Mage he doesn't have minions from other classes in his deck, the following Inspire cards may be in his deck.

Potential Cards in Alleria's Tavern Brawl Deck
Alleria's Tavern Brawl deck contains minions which make use of the Joust mechanic. Assuming like Medivh she is only playing with Hunter and Neutral minions, this leaves us with 5 Jousters for her deck.

Brawl out?? PogChamp
10/10 fun
Why did they pick alleria for the joust? I think palladin would be more fitting and I want to try those palladin joust cards.
Because they haven't released an alternate hero for Paladin yet. It's not a coincidence that it's Medivh and Alleria, not Jaina and Rexxar.
Can't wait to try out some of those new cards. Think I'll be spending most of my time playing Brawls this week instead of any other mode! :D
There's precedent in pre-made Tavern Brawls for inter-class crossover, seems like the "Jouster" deck will need some other class cards to reinforce the theme.
I'm still happy to test the gadgetzan jouster soon. It maybe get a really decent 1 drop
It's flat-out inferior to Zombie Chow, so there's no reason to use it. Sorry.
no.
if it gets the joust,its a flat out better zombie chow.
that's like saying the 2/1 priest whelp is a flat out inferior zombie chow.
So 24/25th August confirmed?
I kinda can't belive both decks will be on equal power level. If the hunter joust deck will include those trash cards this might be rag vs nef 2.0. Still probably is cool to see new cards in action.
meh
Hyyyyype
I hope we get 3 free packs when TGT goes live.
At least 3 packs.
I guess this means no arena pre-release like there was with gvg? Oh well, here's hoping the brawl is a bit more balanced than the rag vs nef one.
So I'm going to assume TGT ISN'T coming Tuesday then? Damn. Guess it's guaranteed next week though!
this is too much teasing >_< I can't stand to wait so much :D Release TGT already!!
Finally, a brawl worth playing.
YES! So hyped! This Tavern Brawl will bing a 100% new experience for players, and this is awesome!
Yeah, I'm very excited about this! Let's see if Inspire will change the meta :)
