The Masked Ball is This Week's Brawl!
At the SI:7 mansion in Stormwind they have a grand masked ball every year. Everyone is in disguise! When a minion dies, its disguise is revealed, showing the minion to actually be a different random minion that costs (2) less and ready for another fight!
Trivia
- This Tavern Brawl debuted on August 5th, 2015.
- This is the second time we've seen this Brawl.
- Out of the first 19 Tavern Brawls, this one saw the second-to-last number of games played, only beating the Banana Brawl.
- This brawl does not reward an Un'Goro pack.
How it Works
- Build your own deck!
- Each time a minion dies, it will be replaced with another that has a cost which is 2 less.
- This is achieved through a Deathrattle effect that each card will receive when it is played from your hand.
- If a card summons a minion to the field, you won't receive the Deathrattle enchantment on it and thus, no spawn on death.
- Cards put into play from the Deathrattle won't have the Deathrattle again.
- Transform effects won't have the Deathrattle.
- Minions must be at least a 2-drop in order to receive the Deathrattle effect.
Tips
- Baron Rivendare is OP here due to the effect being triggered by Deathrattle. Insane Value.
- Cards that on death summon a different minion also get great value here. Bring out the old Piloted Shredder or Piloted Sky Golem!

Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our Brawl Forums to discuss this week's brawl in the dedicated forum thread.
Could have made an interesting brawl that previews Ungoro, but no, put out some crappy rehash brawl.
Pick a class and play a pre-made quest deck! That would have been great.
I've seen people complaining about the last brawl before an expansion being irrelevant even though there have been expansion themed brawls prior, and I'm starting to suspect it's simply a matter of technicality. Perhaps they're just too busy pushing for deadline to have the capacity for a unique brawl and end up rehashing or something. It is a small team after all and I have a hard time finding a really good reason to not have a showcase the week before if not for technical/practical stuff over conceptual/business oriented reasons.
The small team excuse is past the pale at this point. They've known when the expansion was coming out for months, they could have prepared one well in advance.
Or you can think of it from a profit (vallen) point of view where there's more money to make from people buying new packs instead of giving them away for free
I play 1 year and don't have all classic cards. I think for f2p players are better to get classic instead of cards which all will move to wild after 2 years.
They could've hyped their upcoming expansion by presenting us with premade Un'goro decks. That would've been great advertising if you think from a profit point of view.
So in this brawl I tried to do some Arcane Giant Rogue, and I think if you play a giant that cost you no mana you don't get a deathrattle that is 2 mana cheaper because I think it has to cost you something in order for the game to see ohh now the deathrattle will be placed on the minion, kinda like a combo spell but it requires mana. I also think this was the same case for sea giant but I don't think it happened too often cause you almost certainly paid some mana using it.
Confirmed - same here. No Deathrattle on Arcane Giants that cost 0 or 1 when played from hand.
Strange. Not even Un'goro cards available through the mechanic? I guess it's not a big deal but definitely expected something to kick it off.
sure they do... 2 or 3 weeks after the expansion is out.
another pirate warrior brawl
guess Blizz really really wanted the time for everyone to build Golakka Crawler into a deck when Un'goro comes out tomorrow.
I think that all people wanted was a un goro themed brawl... with un goro pack reward. Was someone at Blizzard hit in the head and put this instead? :/
Poor decision...
Does it reward classic or un'goro pack? I am in EU so I still don't know
It does not. Added a note to confirm that in the post but this will be the only time I do so due to the change up! Going forward, it should be assumed unless otherwise noted, they're using the usual Classic pack ;)
Successful completion of this weeks Tavern Brawl will reward a The Grand Tournament pack because troll.
Not really, don't fret friends!
No Un`Goro related Brawl; no Un´Goro pack as a reward. RNG fiesta. Why even bother playing?
Oh wait: Maybe I get a golden Rag or Sylv from that juicy classic pack... ;)
P.S.: Naxx out?
