Wild Cards Return to Arena for Wildfest - A Three Week Long Hearthstone Event
The Arena is Standard no more, at least for the next three weeks! Wildfest has begun which means Blizzard has cranked things up to 11 and all our "favourites" have returned to play. Here's the event rundown.
- Wildfest run from February 19 until March 11.
- Wild cards have returned to Hearthstone's Arena.
- We will see two different Tavern Brawls available during different weeks in the event.
- There are no free Arena runs, but there is a free entry into one of the upcoming brawls.
The Wildfest Tavern Brawls
We have two Tavern Brawls we will see during Wildfest. As of posting, we don't know when either will go live but without a doubt it will be on a Wednesday.
- Venture into the Wild - A brawl which contains pre-built wild-format decks that you can queue into the brawl with.
- The Wild Brawliseum - A brawl which is a mix between a Heroic Brawl and an Arena run.
The Wild Brawliseum
This Tavern Brawl is a cross between what we're used to seeing for Heroic Brawls and bits of Arena.
- You will pay an entry fee equal to an Arena run to take part in this Tavern Brawl.
- Using cards in your own collection, you build a deck for the wild format.
- Like Arena or a Heroic Brawl, once you lose 3 games in the Wild Brawliseum you are out.
- Rewards will be given to players based on their performance with their deck, equal to the Arena reward structure as seen below.
- Your first run of this brawl will be free! There's nothing to lose!

I don't really know what the wild meta is like. What's good?
This us why I don't disenchant old sets. Never know when they will be useful again .
Nah son, i needed that dust to stay competitive!
Oh yes, I suppose you preorder 50 packs every new expansion because I play since the beggining and it's pretty impossible to keep all wild cards and be able to play mostly meta decks of wild and standard or be able to have every important legendaries.
I talk from my experience playing this game around 4 years and spending £0.00 in the game. Obviously I would love to keep my wild cards but when I wanted to play standard I was just able to play 1 decent standard deck... So I and many people had to disenchant wild cards just for stay in the current meta.
But yes it is easy to say what you said, so smart and conservative, yes?
Seriously, when does it start?
Oh my dear Muster for Battle, I missed you so much. :)
I'd rather have an option of "no-fee no rewards" arena. There is no way I gonna spend money on it.
To be honest, it is not bad idea. Casual arena to play for fun, practice, seems nice to me
has it arrived? i feel like there should be a big announcement when i launch hearthstone and it says nothing about wild in arena.
I've been asking all morning to no avail. What time zone are you? Est herr
GMT (+0) usually stuff like this kicks off at 18:00 GMT
It has!
I was hoping so much to get some strong wild arena deck. Played 3 runs.. one of the worst decks I've ever drafted.
This reminds me, we should have some Wild cards rotate into the Classic set. I want Kezan Mystic, Antique Healbot, and Justicar Trueheart back into Standard.
I would prefer not bringing back Antique Healbot and Justicar Trueheart. The last thing we need is more power for control decks
And Brann and Thaurissan and Azure Drake and Sylvanas and Ragnaros and mad scientist
Really. Some wild card come back in the classic set?
It s exactly what we need! Except antique healbot. Can u image a cubelock with more heals???
