A Peek to the Past is This Week's Brawl! Only Basic and Classic Cards are Allowed!
Let's take it down a notch, there, brawler. Make a deck using only cards from the Basic and Clasic sets, but none of those fancy Epics of Legendaries, ya hear?
Trivia
- This is a brand new brawl.
- The brawl isn't a perfect blast from the past since some cards have changed since the early Hearthstone days and cards that were recently moved to the Hall of Fame set aren't available for use.
How it Works
- Build a deck using cards from the Basic and Classic sets. No Legendaries or Epics are allowed.
Old School Powerhouses
It's been a long time, friends, so let's take a look at some of the great cards from Vanilla Hearthstone that aren't common today.
Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our dedicated discussion thread on our Tavern Brawl forums.
I dont know why but i cannot find shield slam in the tavern brawl
No Legendaries or Epics are allowed.
SS is epic.
Very good brawl! Maybe the best since I played last year's July. This should be the theme of Heroic Brawl. :D
The idea seemed incredible when I first read about it here, at work yesterday morning.
In practice, it was kind of meh. Turns out there are a lot of boring designs in the Basic and Classic commons. And some classes have just a brutal selection.
As usual you end up playing against the same pool of 15-20 cards or so.
Move aside Purples & Oranges, it's time for the Gem-less, Whites & Blues to shine...!! (for a few days...)
These guys must be so relieved that they are remembered, even though it's just for less than a week...
Put this apple on your head!

Oh,at least I have chicken
Finally, a creative concept for brawl that doesn't rely on rng.
This is the most challenging and fun brawl I've playing in a while.

This is an interesting one. Not for me but still interesting. Was happy to get a quick Aggro-lock win against a slow Priest.

WTF are you a Spock wannabe?
It is quite logical.
I could do without the condescension.
Just simply say it summons it versus plays so the battlecry doesn't trigger.
This is a broken interaction, it really shouldn't work like that, basically better than playing the card from a card that gives a situational pick 3 advantage at the rare slot in arena, for an epic card.
Greed priest needs more winmore bs am I right?
Anyways this is stupid as is, I guess I missed the night when kripp got bent over a barrel by this interaction or I wouldn't have been so salty over it. Frankly it made no difference as it's a discover card to which I had no ability to play around anyways, nicely done blizz. He lost to Gruul that game so the joke was on Greed priest losing to dumpster Drood class. Thanks for the education spock. What is illogical is what people have to gain from being pricks about it when it is confusing enough to warrant threads over the exact scenario I listed.
On the other hand perhaps you are in fact Zachary Quinto, so you didn't mean it as condescension, I doubt it though.
needs more rng with obtuse interactions, so logical.
I love this Brawl :D
can I still discover legendaries and epics I wonder?
There's no discover in the Basic and Classic sets.
Control Priest all the way! Good brawl.
Feels good playing withAbusive Sergeant, Dark Iron Dwarf, Defender of Argus, Scarlet Crusader, Shattered Sun Cleric, Boulderfist Ogre, and other such "high value" cards from back in the day. As someone who's been playing since beta, this is a nice little nostalgia trip.
It's not exactly the same though. No oppressive miracle rogue. Classic control warrior is impossible w/o legends. Handlock is ancient history. So it's a bit on the bland side.
(Lul at everyone referring to classic face warrior as "pirate warrior". Ya youngings wouldn't have guess back in beta face warrior was a legend capable budget deck)
Pauper brawl!
Faced someone still trying to play pirate warrior, he had replaced the missing pirates with taunts LOL.
Try this one.
Hunter stands no chance against this list
I do not doubt it. The purpose of my deck is to counter Hunter and zoo
I had quite a bit of succes with a control paladin - quite a few value-combo's still in there, like Stampeding Kodo-Humility, Pyro-Equality and things like Defender of Argus and Cult Master to take advantage of your silver hand recruits.
