- This is a PvE brawl, no player opponent this time! Your opponent is the Headless Horseman.
- Passive hero powers are in use for the player, a rarity!

- Pirate Costume - Your hero power is Conscript. Your deck is based on pirate synergies.
- Cat Costume - Your hero power is Sense Weakness. Your deck is based on beasts and kitty things like Claw.

The Fight
- The Headless Horseman starts off with 30 Health. His hero power, Slash, deals random damage to your side of the field.
- Many of the cards in the Headless Horseman's deck are able to deal AoE damage to you - gross!
- After defeating the Headless Horseman, he removes his head (Headless Horseman's Head), a 2/35 minion.
- His head deals 2 damage randomly split to your side of the field at the start of each of his turns.
- Destroying the head, as indicated on the card text, wins you the game.

Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our dedicated discussion thread over on our Tavern Brawl forum.
do we get another free arena ticket this week?
Pirate seems the most consistent.
Cat is alright if you can get a few cards down and use Infest before the boss kills it all off. Several higher mana cost beasts that can help to beat this brawl, its just surviving long enough to see them being useful.
Brawl is awesome!!! Love geting every play I make cucked by the perfect answer every turn and die to burn mage cancer cards.
Even better is Blizzard lies about getting a free pack when u lose cause u don't unless you win a game at this fuk fest of a brawl.
Blizzard never lied, just for record's sake. They don't make posts here. Anything that is not specifically wrapped around a "blizzard quote box" has been written by someone here on the site. It was my mistake, that's the way it was done last year and I didn't even bother to look over that section again as when the brawl went up I immediately went to confirm the decks were the same (the only really important part).
I should not have assumed Blizzard when they said it was the same brawl as last year that the reward would be given out the same way. I'm also kinda surprised they didn't give out Witchwood packs with the two Halloween brawls considering they're giving that expansion such a tie-in in the event. Small indie company.
.
We've never have a Halloween specific card back. The only one in the game was rewarded for ranked play which is why you're not likely to see it again.
They keep saying they want to bring old cardbacks back somehow so they will be obtainable in the future, but there are considerations to make. I would hate if they just brought them back without somehow distinguishing card backs obtained back when they originally came out. Maybe they glow a bit or maybe they make the deck slot interface area golden if its an "original" card back.
You don't win if you lose, I didn't on my first try at least
Stupid. Just plain ******* waste of time
same here
same for me too
"You earn your card pack even if you lose!"
This is not true, lost first game, got nothing, won the second game, got my pack then.
Fixed! Blizzard: Changing stuff that didn't need to be changed since forever.
so we get a card back instead of a free pack? FeelsBadMan...
EDIT: card pack was misread as card back FeelsVeryBadMan
Will we get the card back?
I don't recall, was there a second phase - fighting the Horseman Head - last year when it was first introduced?
Time to finish off opponents with this bad boy.
Looks like they finally added animation to golden version of this card.
Done, thanks for the idea!
This was great last year. Good to see it back.
Nice write up, Flux. This is a fun pve brawl. Had a good time w/ it kast year.
