It's extremely poor timing by Blizzard. The excessive cost just isn't worth it when we are a couple of weeks away from a whole new expansion.

I know where I'd rather be spending my money! Some of those new cards look amazing. Perhaps Blizz did this to empty everybody out so they are forced to pay for Gadgetzan, who knows?

My results from tonight. I hope to see more tournament formats.

I want to try it out, but 1000g is quite a bit of gold. I read somewhere that if you haven't reached Legend, you shouldn't try it out. How true is that statement?

So, I've concluded my run. Went to four wins before a fucking Shaman ended it.

Could be worse in the long run. But at least my gamble paided off since one of the packs had a Yogg in it, who I've been meaning to get back after I dusted him in the nerf.

So, how would I rate the experience? It was amazing...the times I wasn't fighting a Shaman that is. Those who skipped it, you made the right choice. The Heroic Brawl had so much potential if it wasn't for the fact that the meta is fucking broken thanks to Shamans.

Would I ever do it again? Probably not unless they made drastic changes. 1,000 gold is too much. If it was 500 gold then maybe I would agree with the concept. But the bigger issue is this shouldn't be a Tavern Brawl. Tavern Brawls are for wacky and new rules each week, where anyone, regardless of skill or cards, could play, and even Blizzard said this themselves that's what the mode is for. Heroic Brawl would've worked if it was it's own gamemode, but instead it was wasted in the way they handled it.

To many ramblings about how bad this brawl. But lets look on it in another perspective. It's tests tournament variant of play and blizzard want to test it in real life. Is it good? Yes, it's good. Is it to much of a cost? Not at all. Why I think so? Because it's competative brawl, if you can't handle it -- just don't play. It's obvious.

Nearly everyone would be motivated by a giant bonus (a handful might not) and as long as people are governed by greed...people in decision-making roles will make decisions that benefit themselves over staff or customers first, but in this case...Blizzard is merely capitalizing on the bone-heads who like to gamble on big rewards...they're taking a lesson from Vegas...that city was built on the money from bone-heads who like big rewards.

So in this case...no one is likely to be taking home a giant bonus...they're just copying the success of Vegas...so the Heroic Tavern Brawl is pure genius except for the fact that it is only temporary, but I'm sure it will return after they see the response.

Something i'm confused about, if i pay the 1000g do i get access to ALL cards to build my 30 card deck?

Or am i paying 1000g for the privilege to play with my collection that doesn't even have all the basic class cards to go up against people slinging legendary's like their silverhand recruits?

It's more or less paid Standard. You play with what you have.

If it wasn't for streamers i would probably be disappointed but those gladiators entertain us the plebs so theres that ;)

Theres thread on the main page of HS reddit made by a guy who gathers streamers in his thread and update the scores regularly, just check once in a while who have the highest win count and tune in.

Wow all the salt in this thread over the freebie their not recieving. I think it´s kinda interesting idea but im saving my gold for the expansion ;)

too expensive!

So this tavern brawl will decide if Thrall or Morgl is the better shaman!

guys just a quick warn .. dont play this .. i spent 2k gold and play reno lock with current meta deck  ( http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/664356-in-depth-guide-renolock ).  i got 5 packs some dust and gold .. zero legendaries .. and i played all the game vs shaman .. except one game was vs priest. this is very bad from blizzard. 

I spent 1000gold (one round) - won two, and lost 3. Got 125 dust, 4 packs (with a golden rare, and fandral) and 150-ish gold. Met 1 tempo mage, 2 freeze mage and facehunter and one shaman.  It's ok.

I think it's interesting how there are only extremes of either side; either you really like it or you really hate it. I can see the hate if you're missing out on a free pack if you're a F2P player but there's about the same amount of those as it is the people who played this TB. It's also interesting that some of you who played this rolled with unfavourable decks (i.e Renolock when there's plenty of shaman and quite a few Anyfins) proceed to complain about how much of a goldsink it is and how no-one should enter. It's a risk-reward, if you're upset you lost this type of thing probably isn't for you.

Just saw some friend going 6-3, getting Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale and Deathwing, Dragonlord :|

Love this ! :) One of the funniest times i had with Hearthstone, so thrilling ! :) And with all the golden legendarys and packs i don't have to pay anything for the next expansion :) Hopefully there will be more of this in the future ! I really like it that blizzard is doing a brawl for competitive players :) In the future it would be nice to see heroic and normal brawls at the same time so that every player type is happy and the forum is not full of negativity from the casual players.
