Hearthpwn

This is almost surely my favourite brawl; looks like I'll be doing that primarily for the next week. There's some fun strategy involved, and while stuff like Fel Reaver / Keening Banshee to burn your deck aren't around anymore, warlock can still discard, and there's always Deathwing (if you manage to get your deck low enough that you get Deathwing every turn, it's *very* strong). Other strategies include bouncing your own cards (if there's a minion you want to up the frequency of), or bouncing your opponent's stuff (if there's a bad one they have that you want them to draw more often, like the chickens). The card is re-added to the deck after you play it (or shuffled in at end of turn if you don't), so if you get it into your hand in a non-play/non-draw way such as bounce, it effectively gives you an additional copy of it.

On that note, you have to be supremely careful with cards that add random stuff to your hand. Some are still good (I've not been unhappy drawing most lackeys, though the spell lackey is arguably the worst in this setup due to it fattening your deck with potentially bad spells), but often it's just making your deck fatter and making the power level lower overall. Card draw as a whole isn't that great, though Soularium is a notable exception (unfortunately you don't discard the three cards, which would be great for thinning the deck, but getting 3 more options for 1 mana is potentially great).

When this first came around I mentioned how much I loved it on the Hearthstone subreddit, and someone mentioned that Dominion (the board game) is a lot like this brawl. I ended up getting Dominion for Christmas that year, fell in love, and still enjoy playing it to this day. Of note, in Dominion arguably the strongest card throughout all expansions is one that lets you trash up to 4 cards in your hand (which is usually the rest of your hand) - trashing is basically permanently discarding. So don't underrate the warlock discard cards - the more-or-less standalone version of this brawl has it as a powerful strategy!

Frustrating when you just want to get your pack and move on, a blast when you want to play for kicks.

Hearthpwn went to shit, we can all agree on that.

The first time this brawl aired was on December 2, 2015, Week 25.

Then February 10, 2016, Week 35; 

November 22, 2017, Week 128; Note: Awarded A Kobolds and Catacombs Pack.

October 31, 2018, Week 177.

You start with a deck with a few chickens, coins, and spare parts and every turn you discover a new card to add to your deck.

At the end of your turn your hand is reshuffled into your deck and you draw 4 new cards.

Personally, I really like this brawl, I remember there being some cool things you can try to do like burn your deck with Fel Reaver, and I think discarding your cards in Warloc may have worked. 

This is the first brawl that will be around all week including Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and I think it's a good one to start that cycle on.

Note: that took me like 3 minutes to find the history of the last times this brawl was used and around 5 minutes to write the rest of it. Wonder how long it took hearthpwn to write theirs.

I hope someone in the new site mod team is paying attention.

Thanks for the info, it was always fun to know how many times and when was the first, guess we can't expect for people handling the site to actually provide information or anything.

Well, at least I can finish my quests so that's something.

Hearthpwn went to shit, we can all agree on that.

Please don't write that much text! I just wanted to know what the brawl is about, not the exact rules or any strategy advice or any other useless clatter....

Took me ages to reach the comments section...

“Clatter”

How ironic they use succubus as their poster.

Well, make quests easier, thumbs up

And a question, when does the Fire festival start?

I would assume Fire Festival starts mid July as usual. No official statements tho.

This is in my Top 5 favorite brawls. I'll probably play a lot this week.
