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 Classic sets, but none of those fancy Epics of Legendaries, ya hear?
Trivia
- This is the second time we've seen this brawl.
- The first time we saw this brawl was on May 24, 2017.
- 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.
- Three cards usable in this brawl have recently been nerfed. Innervate, Fiery War Axe, and Hex.
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.
Top Decks from the Past
These were the top five decks from the last time this brawl was active. There's a good chance they're still great!

Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our dedicated discussion thread on our Tavern Brawl forums.
Old school handlock and control warrior were indeed expensive, and decent druid or paladin decks were not cheap either. You are right about hunters and zoo, though.
At that time, people complained top decks were too cheap...
Hunter deck still rocks.
I still wish there was more progression to the weekly brawls than the first pack. This brawl would be really fun to "figure out" the meta in the couple of days its around, but there is no incentive to playing more than once. Other brawls have replayability due to wacky or curious rule sets that are downright amusing, but this one rewards meta reading and deckbuilding - less pure amusement, more game mastery. And without progression, there is no reason not to pick up the pack and head back to ladder.
It's not that I want more free stuff (I'm far from f2p), I just want any reason to keep brawlin'.
Using OTK priest like last time, Divine Spirit and Inner Fire are allowed
Pauper Format PogChamp*
Get outta here, you tesl player!
This brawl was before pauper!
My fav brawl !!
Still Waiting for that Noggenfogger Brawl.
Sure is easy to play around Mage secrets when you know it can't be Ice Block.
this has been a fun brawl
I was so stoked when I saw this brawl until I saw you couldn't use epics or legendaries.
It was the 102nd brawl, started at: May 24, 2017,ended: May 29, 2017
Now it's the 121st brawl, which started at October 4 and ends at October 9.
Ooooh I like this one. :D
One and done....
Bring back the pick two brawl.
the opposite of this brawl ( build a deck without any basic or classic cards) would be infinitely more interesting
That would be really cool, but that would make the brawl inaccessible for so many players.
if a player doesn't have 30 non basic or non classic cards he's either really really new or really frugal.
Only epic and legendaries though.
We want the pre-nerf versions of basic/classic cards!
This would make for a most excellent brawl. Sadly their collection manager interface would not work for it without an overhaul allowing them to display different cards in the usual slots. FeelsBadMan
I hope they can work toward it one day. Hell, even if they did something with a pool of premade decks using tavern brawl token cards as cards in their pre-nerfed state, that would work. Just make sure theres at least 2 or 3 decks for each class so it adds to the excitement.
