Brawl Block: Old and New Is This Week's Tavern Brawl - Deckbuilding From 4 Expacs
A new twist on Hearthstone! Construct a deck using ONLY cards from Goblins vs Gnomes, The Grand Tournament, The Witchwood, and The Boomsday Project.
Trivia
- This is a brand new brawl.
- The reward for this brawl is a classic card pack.
How it Works
Build yourself a deck using cards in your own collection from the following four expansions:
- Goblins vs Gnomes
- The Grand Tournament
- The Witchwood
- The Boomsday Project
Discuss This Week's Brawl
Head on over to our dedicated thread on our brawl forums.
Love this idea! I want this to be permanent so bad. A regular format like this would keep the meta fresh and make deckbuilding fun and interesting again. I understand that it doesn’t work out well for new players or vets who dusted their Wild collections but not everything in the game had to cater to everyone. It’s by and large a free game unless you choose to pay. This is a great step in the right direction. I hope Blizzard takes in all the positive feedback from the community on their own message boards. I’ve seen good feedback there too.
You can also play this brawl with almost no cards from these expansions!!!
I build a deck using only 2 cards drom Boomsday and then the game filled my deck with random cards from the 4 brawl expansions!
Good move from Blizzard, so everyone can play the brawl :)
This brawl is TERRIBLE. they purposely locked out players who do not have these cards as some kind of twisted incentive to buy packs for a pointless format. the greed factor on this is well over 100%.
The only GvG card I have is Antique Healbot. Rip me
You still can play, it fills your deck with random cards then till 30 :)
I want to like this but as I have almost no G&G or TGT cards - I started at WotOG - it's tricky.
Might have been nice if just for the brawl they gave us full access to the sets.
FWIW I had to face 2 MechMages before I got a win with bomb hunter.
From the deckbuilding challenge thread a little while ago:
Challenge #: 39
Name: Create-A-Year
Format: Wild
Classes: Any
Restrictions: You may chose three sets of cards, one set from each year of Hearthstone since the introduction of rotation. You may only use cards from your chosen three sets, as well as basic and classic cards. Your three sets must be from separate years. You must use at least 6 cards from each of your chosen sets. Any sets before the introduction of Standard, and Hall of Fame cards cannot be used.
Hmmmm.....
This is what I want in a regular, monthly rotating new Limited Format of the game. Each month the allowed sets change, doesn't always include Classic (like this brawl), and Team5 could straight up ban certain cards each time if they feel it's necessary for balance. Also it would have a smaller ladder for each month (as in maybe 12 ranks with the rank floor happening every 3, maybe only 3 stars per rank), and Wild packs from the sets used that month as rewards. Great way to promote play with old cards AND help newer players slowly add cards to their Wild collection over time. Or for someone like me who missed a lot of cards over GvG and TGT due to not playing a ton, a chance to build that collection over time as well.
This is like my dream for Hearthstone right now. It would make the game so much more interesting to have these little micro-metas and it would make the old cards feel new again with all of the various combos that would emerge.
You would have to think it would be a great money maker, too! Win-win for everyone.
Yeah, it might push some newer players who aren't f2p to spend a little on Wild packs.
Then again, I'm also in favor of moving all of Classic to Wild and having a "Core" set each Hearthstone year, which would be made up of cards across various Wild/Old sets to help balance the game while creating interesting Standard metas without restricting design due to the evergreen Classic set. Even if most of the "Core" set is still from Classic, it would be interesting.
In the in-game store, replace Classic packs with Core packs, as well as replacing Classic pack rewards from quests, etc, with the Core packs. Another way for newer players to obtain older cards from past sets and maybe get more invested into Wild. Really anything that makes old cards relevant, or at least have the chance to be relevant again in a Standard meta helps Team5's bottom line because "Standard Only" players wouldn't want to dust all their old cards for fear that they return to Standard some day. So it also pushes more people to try playing Wild.
Wow - I have so "many cards" to choose ó_ó
At least someone had less luck at my second try & gave up.
Phew - that was scary...
Great Brawl. Ill be playing it all week.
This brawl is fantastic and exactly what I was asking for in a recent forum post.
I think there should be two options under Wild - one which is completely open to all cards in the game and another that rotates between which sets are available to drive interesting combos and Wild metas. Seeing a limited set of cards where GVG and Boomsday get to live together is exactly what I've wanted to see since the later expansion was announced. I would love to see this happen more regularly with monthly rotations and unique card backs as rewards for participation.
HELOOOOOOO MECH WARRIOR!
"Saftey Restriction - Offline! Harvesting Servos - Egnaged!"
Welp... rip standard only players...
Try wild mech hunter, all the card are common-rare(except zilliax)
This was the easiest brawl ever. Took me only one try. Mech hunter is the way to go. I even found a place in the deck for E.M.P operative, just in case I found myself in a mirror match or vs Dr. Boom mech warrior. I did it without using any of the wild sets so good stuff.
There must be some players new to the game for whom this is their first ever brawl.
Good luck! (assuming you have enough valid cards to build a deck and press Brawl).
You still can play, it fills your deck with random cards then till 30 :)
Literally can't play. the most i have is 26 cards for warrior.
