[Updated on September 20]

This week, we got the return of a very special kind of Tavern Brawl. Instead of the usual free entry and celebratory pack, the stakes have been raised to the maximum. Before going into the successful decks and strategies players have come up with so far, we'll give you an overview of the mode's reward system.

Be sure to check back later during the weekend, as we plan on adding more decks over the course of the Brawliseum's duration! And even if you don't plan to attempt this gambling feat yourself, the following decklists should also double up as a compilation of strong options that can serve as an inspiration for any Wild ladder climbing. 


How a Heroic Brawliseum Works

Do you dare to enter? 

Gameplay-wise, it's a mix of the Arena and Constructed. 12 wins or 3 losses means the end of the run just like in Arena (or Duels). The format covers the entire current pool of Wild cards, along with the specific bans unique to that game mode. After the entry fee of 1000 Gold (or Runestones) is paid, a proper Deck can be put together as based on your existing card collection. Once locked in, the submitted list cannot be changed during the run.


Heroic Brawliseum Rewards - Should You Play?

The risk versus reward factor is indeed a sight to behold. A 5-win-run lets you spend your 1000 (insert currency of choice) about as efficiently as buying 10 packs, while anything below that can at least retroactively be considered "a poorly chosen investment". For comparison: A 0-3 Arena run leaves you with ~50 gold down the drain. In a Heroic Brawliseum that cranks up close to 900! On the other hand, one can't ignore the immense gap between the 11 and 12 wins rewards.

Unfortunately, the average player has very low odds of reaching the 12-win-jackpot. Though early wins may come easy, competition only gets tougher as the run progresses. Especially now that the Mini-Set for Murder at Castle Nathria isn't all that distant anymore, players need to plan their budget accordingly. If you consider yourself skilful at/knowledgeable about Wild Hearthstone, and have the funds to spare, here's a variety of decks from the community that proved to make that 12 win dream a reality.
