Hey, 

So I was thinking since Arena is falling out of favor. What about a new game mode where users are able to gamble a specified amount of gold per game? There could be a number of different game types (BO3, Last Man Standing,....) where the winner is rewarded the pot. Then the results of who won the most gold/games at the end of the season could be calculated per region (displayed in a region table) and rewards based on rank/gold achieved. 

What do you guys think?

This game mode would  be the cesspit of aggro decks.

You wanna gamble, go to a casino.

Fun in theory, but I would NOT want to be Blizzard having to police the "RNG/disconnect/unfair deck screwed me!" complaints.

They do that already with Arena so I dont think there would be too much trouble to deal with that and Blizz will just stick to their guns. If it happens it happens... 

Always thought it would be cool to have a mode where a random card from each deck is played for, like magic originally had in its rules. Same rarityof of course, maybe make it so the players could select top level of rarity that could be played for from each deck. Automatically excluding legendaries.

Source?  Or do you just mean that you personally aren't enjoying it as much?

I am fairly certain Blizzard have said in regards to other games like Diablo that they do not want to introduce gambling features in their games. 

Isn't Hearthstone enough of a gamble considering RnG?

This is kind of like tournament mode suggested a while ago.

Like100 gold to enter, and if there are say 6 people, the winner takes the gold.

Seems similar to that.

I personally would not mind any new modes. Variety is good. So long as no body "has to" play them if they don't want.

Personally OP i love the idea. I'd be all over gambling within the game. 

Tournament mode where you enter a "gold level" tournament would make sense. Like enter a 50gold tournament with a bracket of 8. Winner takes 280, loser 180, blizzard keeps 40. That way blizzard wouldn't have to call it gambling. I don't think a tournament where the users remain the se would work, since it would require people loggin in at same times

Arena was boring until TGT came out because I was spamming it. TGT made major changes to arena and it's pretty fun now. It's best to play arena sometimes but not too frequently or you'll get bored.

That is my own opinion, judging by the amount of posts on the forums questioning if the Arena is still worth it. Personally I quite like the Arena but I'm also beginning to lean away from it as the rewards are less specific (pack wise) and there's more RNG craziness. 

Sonuds fun, but sadly, it will never happen. :(

Maybe I am remembering this wrong but I thought Magic online had an option like this but with real money?  Like u pay an entree fee to do tournaments.
