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!

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!

Rewards:

This is a special Brawl that costs 1000g or real money to enter, the rewards are therefore not just a simple pack! See just below for an overview of the rewards!

Quote from Blizzard

Heroic Tavern Brawl Returns!

On February 1, the fan-favorite Heroic Tavern Brawl (Standard format) is back for more grueling competition! This time, there will be a new special Legendary Quest tied to the Brawl for those who want earn something they can use to show off their skill. Win 3 games in one Heroic Tavern Brawl run and you’ll get the new Ghoul Queen Scarlet Death Knight Hero Skin in addition to your other prizes! There will also be a Legendary Quest for players to win one game of any type in order to get a Standard Pack, so there is something for all players, even those who don’t want to participate in the Heroic Tavern Brawl.

Correction: the Ghoul Queen Scarlet skin legendary quest will require 3 wins in this Heroic Tavern Brawl across all runs, not necessarily in the same Tavern Brawl run.

Discuss this brawl on the forums!

the average hearthstone player wouldn't bother making a deck even if they did offer a free ticket. and still, most players would be lucky to get 2 wins.

I feel like a free pass is totally justifiable, so every player could at least get their single pack for the week.

Also I think it's hilarious that you don't even come close to making your gold back unless you go a full 12 wins lol. The people who are capable of getting 12 wins don't need the packs and dust.

You are right, they don't need the packs or dust that's why they gave those people like me a reason to play it so they put the skin there. Items everyone can buy are pretty meaningless but items you have to win are special because unfortunately, everyone in life doesn't get a trophy contrary to popular belief.

the predatory part is the 2 quests that appeared for this scammy brawl

So when Brawliseum replaces the normal brawl (depriving everyone of that week's Standard pack) everyone bitches, but when they then add a quest to give everyone that same pack (for playing one game in *any* mode) it's "predatory"?

Some people are never happy...

You are correct! I enjoy those people because they give me endless entertainment value. The new dk skin to go along with the solid gold unholy deck makes them hate quit left and right. These are the people who wear masks and call themselves antifaa.....I've played this game since closed beta and I would really like to hear some original complaining but I don't know if that is even possible now.

Ah yes, this Brawl is so much fun.

Playing since Launch, multiple times getting Legend in Standard and Wild, a lot of 12 Arena runs, knowing what to expect in the current meta.

Doesn't matter though, as I am facing opponents with golden cardback who draw perfectly which I didn't.

I mean, we got rid of Roguestone, which is nice, but there are still several "Solitaire" decks out there, facing them is so god damn awful and feels even more like a waste of time. Yes I know, I could play these decks too, but hear me out, I want to have at least a little fun when playing a deck. If I want to play alone I have Singleplayer games.

I got out with 3-3 playing Ping Mage (got it from a streamer getting 12 wins with it), which is ok considering the fact I got steamrolled by a Priest highrolling like crazy with Bless Priest and an unwinnable game vs Ramp Druid with too much armor and a really early Brann Anub Astalor Combo. Final loss was the mirror, opponent had perfect opening and Dawngrasp on 7.

Kinda glad that 1000 gold is not much for me and I don't have to worry about it, but man, getting only ~120 Gold and Dust and 4 Packs is really really terrible and disappointing. Blizzard should display the reward structure ingame, but we all know that won't ever happen.

I feel bad for the f2p playerbase, especially when the announcement of the Mini-Set is right around the corner. Imo the entry fee should be around 500 gold at most, then there's still more than usual (arena) on the line.

PS: None of my opponents were noobs, they played meta decks and knew exactly what they were doing. Well, okay, maybe the Paladin was a bit unexperienced with his deck, played the card to reorder your deck from highest to lowest on turn 2 and had no play until turn 5. xP
6 games, 6 different classes, so at least I got some variety! But really weird that you can face ANYONE as your mmr is not carried into this Brawl. I saw streamers facing new players or opponents who misplayed heavily. In my case I got the other end of the stick, which is just unlucky.

Hope you guys got your skin with at least one 3-3 run so you didn't have to stay any longer in this scam mode! :)

I went 8-3 with evolve shaman and whatever rewards I got really don't matter because I own everything in the game. I haven't bothered to even open the 286 packs I have sitting there or push the button for 300+k dust. The new skin is nice to go along with my solid gold unholy deck, makes people hate-quit, and gives me laughs. I will say that even with a turn 3 12/12 it was still anyone's game. That's how it goes. Without the skin, I wouldn't have even bothered with it and this was the first time I ever played because for people like me, the rewards are meaningless. The f2p community hates golden cards and cosmetics anyway so I don't have a clue as to who is getting scammed.

I don't know why Blizzard doesn't split the rewards better like this:

0- wins- 2 packs
1- wins- 4 packs
2- wins- 6 packs
3- wins- 8 packs
4- wins- 10 packs
5- wins- 12 packs
6- wins- 14 packs
7- wins- 16 packs
8- wins- 18 packs
9- wins- 20 packs
10- wins- 30 packs
11- wins- 40 packs
12- wins- 50 packs

Because the probability of getting to a higher win count decreases pretty much exponentially with every win. So, if the rewards are concentrated more towards the end, it feels like there is way more to win than it actually is, bc only a small minority of runs actually end up yielding considerable rewards.

Quote from Listopadek >>

So yesterday I got completely obliterated again by Imp/Curse Lock and decided that's it. I netdecked and had to craft 4 legendaries and some epics as I don't play Warlock at all. Proceeded to win every single game. Today they did the heroic brawliseum so I of course copy pasted my imp curse deck and easily won the champion. I only lost one match to Rogue when my hand was uttershit and I guessed wrong all his secrets as it was some tempo potion secret deck. Props to him! Activision Blizzard loves me'.… Also my last game vs Shaman I luckily won thanks to buffed warlock smorf fireball legendary. Thx Blizz, Warlock needed this buff!!

Pls deckcode

Yes, because they added a quest with a skin that restricts it to only people winning the Brawl... purchasing a skin is fine. Winning a skin is fine. Purchasing a chance to maybe win a skin is not.

They added an *extra* quest to get the skin. If you don't want it, or don't have the nerve to try to earn it, just get rid of the quest, no harm, no foul. I was talking about the quest they gave us to get the Forever Stamp of Hearthstone packs for the measly cost of playing one game in any mode. A quest that doesn't require you to do anything related to the Heroic brawl, but still rewards you with a pack. Nothing but upside that I see here.
