This week's brawl is Heroic Brawliseum!
Rules:
Make a Standard deck to compete with the best! Stakes are high, the competition is intense. More wins means more rewards. Can you make it to 12 wins?
This Brawl plays with Standard format cards only!
Rewards:
This is a special Brawl that costs 1000g or real money to enter, the rewards are therefor not just a simple pack! See just below for an overview of the rewards!

On May 18, the Heroic Brawliseum is returning to Tavern Brawl for a week! Lock in your best Standard deck and compete for big prizes! The competition will be fierce, but top competitors will be greatly rewarded.
If you have a great deck for this brawl, create it in our deckbuilder, and share it with the world! Just make sure to label the Deck Type as a "Tavern Brawl" while saving and it might show up on the front page!
There hasn't been a Heroic Brawlseum for... what, 2 years now?
As is tradition, the next expansion / "half-expansion" (or whatever they're calling the mid-expansion bonus thing) is coming up soon, so Bliz wants to be sure people waste on their gold on some absolute garbage so they'll have to pay real money to afford the new cards.
Call it a conspiracy but it literally happens every single time without fail so :/
Edit: apparently my wording was confusing. I didn’t mean there’s a heroic brawl every time, I mean there’s *something* that gets players to waste gold every time.
The last one happened September 23, 2020. And even then there have only been 5 total.
No, you're right. They announce the miniset within DAYS of releasing this gold sinking turd.
I just realized how absurd the difference between 11 and 12 wins is. As if this brawl wasn't garbage enough already.
Worst brawl in the history of the game the devs are smoking some good shit whoever made this shit brawl should be fired
Get rid of this garbage. You don't break even at 3 wins. It's like they're just spitting in the player's face.
It's even worse than that - dust is much worse than gold, and midway through an expansion most players would much rather keep 100g in the bank rather than open a pack.
So, you're looking at more like 6 wins to break even in terms of real value for 1000g
The rewards are so stacked to the top end it's just not worth thinking about unless you reckon you've got a shot at getting 11 or 12 wins. This compounds the problem even more, as it means that weaker players will be rightfully put off.
I know it's worse, but any mode where you don't break even at 3 wins is a scam, the average result is 3 wins (actually slightly less!) and you also invested time - so you better get a net gain on average (like you used to in arena) or the mode is a scam.
Is there any compensation if a run expires?
XD
Heroic brawliseum is an absolute ripoff, wow is this really the best you can do blizzard?
Yeah I feel you, cost is too high and rewards are not worth it for a majority of the players. You need 5 wins to break even, ridiculous. However, you only need one perfected deck to play in it. So if you use your homebrew instead of any tier 1 deck, it's your fault a bit too.
Hip hip hoo fucking ray.
So sad that tavern tickets aren't usable :/ I would pay several of them to get access though
Like an idiot I decided to give this Heroic Brawl a try. Even though the cost of entry is too high, I figured if I could get three or four wins then the gold would be decently spent. I constructed my best F2P deck and gave it a go. Mech Paladin, Mech Paladin, Murloc Warlock. A humbling 0-3. I should have known better than to assume F2P can do anything of significance in this pay-to-win game. There's 1000 gold I'm never getting back. :/ Please learn from my mistake and skip this Tavern Brawl.
Read the reward chart. 3 or 4 wins you don't even break even. This is a scam.
Some people think that D5 to Legend is where the real meta is at, because the desire to win is so great... naw, the only thing on the line there is "time".
Herioc Brawliseum is where you see the truest form of meta since money is on the line. Only the most efficient decks, with the widest possible chance of resisting any deck encountered. No cheese, no polarizing matchups - you can only lose three times, so if you are using the right deck then it was a very long mirror match that you almost won up until you lost that cost you your run.
1000 gold OMEGALUL
1k Gold is A LOT! 7 WINS to break even!
