China's Brawl with Un'Goro Pack Rewards
China's Heroic Brawl has been delayed a week and replaced with what is a new version of Encounter at the Crossroads which has an interesting modification - Party Crashers! These minions are 4-mana 3/5s which have Taunt and attack automatically at the end of your turn into your opponent's face.
This brawl rewards players with an Un'Goro card pack, which can't be opened until the expansion releases in April.
Maybe we'll get this Brawl mashup next week when China gets their Heroic Brawl, but no official word has come out yet on that or if we'll be seeing Un'Goro packs from any future Brawls.
Thanks to /u/VinnyKappa on reddit for the information and screenshots.
But Wait There's More!
What is truly interesting about this Brawl is that it looks like this is a mashup of two different Brawls; Encounter at the Crossroads, and a new Co-Op Brawl that is incoming which celebrates the Year of the Mammoth, which we datamined in Hearthstone Patch 7.1 last week.
This Co-Op Brawl looks like it's going to hit somewhere around the launch of the Year of the Mammoth, more likely afterwards due to a client string that states we are celebrating the year itself, which is traditionally done after it actually begins.

Posted Mar 9, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)Last expansion packs on all future brawls, please! Classic set lost too much value with bans and whatever I got from classic are duplicates.

Posted Mar 9, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)I hear ya with the duplicates from the classic packs, but I just got a friend into Hearthstone in December (free to play) and these classic packs are really helping him build his collection quicker.
Would be interesting if you had a choice based off of your card collection STATs...75% of the cards owned then you could change what card packs you get from the brawl.
Just a thought

Posted Mar 9, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)What I meant is that classic set is getting worse every year, 7 cards last year and 6 cards this year (next year probably thalnos, leeroy etc.) are thrown into the trashcan, so players can't build any deck with just basic/classic sets. So brawl packs should be expansion packs like arena, if people still wants classic cards they could buy with gold. But brawl packs are completely free so Blizzard will probably continue to give the least-worthy packs.
Your suggestion is a good one but blizzard devs are too lazy for such hard work. They can't even implement auto-squelch.

Posted Mar 11, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)You bring up a very valid point! If they keep rotating out great cards that everyone uses, at some point they may want to rotate in some cards.
Lets be real, if i have thought of it then they have to :)

Posted Mar 9, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)Yeah, not sure how you made that connection.
If that was actually the case, we'd have a way different title and a poll asking how people felt about it.

This is from the top of the article. That is how I came to the conclusion. I would assume NA and EU will get the Brawl next week, that Asia has this week, and get a pack. Asia gets HB next week, like the article states, that we have this week. Right???
