Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our brawl forums to talk about this week's brawl in our dedicated thread.
The brawl is fun but it feels that it was made with a lot less effort than the Diablo one :( I would have liked to see real StarCraft themed cards.
It's because Hearthstone is a Warcraft game. Creating Starcraft card just for 3 days and never used again is waste of effort.
250 dust that I guess I will use later to craft some OP card.
boring brawl
Mindportals are not bad. Got Archmage Antonidas for 4 mana ... easy to create fireballs with the mindportals
... and two epics in the packs, nice brawl :)
Saw the brawl.... that was a let down.
Brawl itself is good but... no Starcraft theme....
So boring everyone just picks the mind portal
Most everyone I played took Tech.
Can't wait for the brawl to start!
EU, still counting the minutes.
SCV good to go, sir!
Still hyped on what is likely to be the last tavern brawl reward of K&C. If they follow the pattern, we should be flipping over to locked Witchwood packs in about 2 weeks, if not next week!
Wow is this sad. Nothing nearly as cool as Diablo anniversary.

When damaged^^while I always thank free packs, a Starcraft themed card back would have been awesome
