Potential Adventure Boss Tavern Brawl - New Background Image
A new background for Tavern Brawls was included in the last patch which showcases a few adventure bosses. If you saw the datamined patch notes, you'll remember that several new Brawl hero power cards were added into the mix of things for various adventure bosses.
Alongside these hero powers, an enchantment for "WhosTheBossNow" was added, which could mean your heroes change through the duration of a game, or the more likely option, your hero is randomized at the start of the game. This should lead to replay value to the adventure if each boss has their own set of decks.
The 12 boss hero powers can be found below alongside their associated adventure boss, and the new background image.

Card Design Competition - Neutral Spells
This week's card design competition is live and the theme for the week is Neutral Spells! Your designed card should keep in mind that it will be a collectible spell, and in theory, there would be many of these added to the game. There's a whole list of considerations we've got over in the submission thread, so read up before creating!
So what are you waiting for? Winners get bragging rights and a fancy avatar border, so go submit your entry today! If you'd like to discuss this week's entrys, you can do so as always in the discussion thread. Good luck!
Value Town #48 - Reynad, Savjz, Noxious, and ChanManV
On this week's episode of Value Town, ChanManV was joined by Reynad, Savjz, Noxious to discuss recent esports events, news from the community, tavern brawls, and talked about some great decks. Part 1 has been embedded below and part 2 can be found here.
Could be interesting, I never did try out the Nef vs Rag brawl.
Value town is the shit. No pun intended.
I can't wait. I'm hoping this is going to be the best brawl so far.
Now that's something to keep us busy all week.
Now that'll be a great brawl if there's going to boss diversity. But to be fair I'm a little surprised with Blizzard committing so much to one brawl. Oh well, good on them I guess!
Looks like some interesting brawls are coming. Finally.
Oh man. If it's what I think it is, the possibilities are endless. This time, I think I might actually play the tavern brawl past the one time for the pack.
Add replay value to the adventures would be awesome. I really hope this is true.
This'll be great
Finally we can play as naxx and BRM heroes
Auto-concede as Gluth vs Grobbulus.
Well, if you want me spelling out the joke; Gluth's power enables maximum value for Grob's.Hold the phone, didn't his hero-power make ALL minion's health 1!?!
Rend will probably have issues with Grobbulus though...
Alrighty, well, we've all made slip-ups throughout this thread, BUT! For sure Nefarian's hero power will just be feeding Grob. that much can be guaranteed.
No Sapphiron?
Fuck Yeah, he was a bitch on heroic.
Would play the hell out of that tavern brawl!
if not a new brawl then they should make quests to go back and do certain bosses on heroic difficulty or a wing
I recommended this but age ago, but now I think about it more it's kind of hard, because:
a. not everyone owns the wings
b. if you make the wings into high reward quests, people will get the p2win vibe and having all the wings will feel like a requirement
c. it would get old pretty fast
But with saying that, they really need to do something more with the PvE side of the game, I feel like Hearthstone could be a really cool PvE game if they did it right.
a. You only get the quest if you own the wing
b. They dont need to be higher reward then other quests, or they can give stuff like gold variants of existing cards
c. Not if they're rare
I think it will hive you a hero at random and you play against someone who also got his hero at random. We'll see.
