Pre-Release Tavern Brawl Chalkboard

General Information

  • This Brawl has a custom rewards structure. Learn more about it in a section below!
  • Every player gets one entry for free, but further entries cost 300 Gold / 400 Runestones ($4) / 2 Tavern Tickets.
  • It’s a brand new Brawl.
  • It’s a PvP Brawl.
  • The Brawl has a custom format. Play until 6 wins or 3 loses – the more you win, the better your rewards become.
  • It’s a build-your-own deck Brawl. You can use cards from the following expansions: Core Set, Event Set, Whizbang’s Workshop, Perils in Paradise, and The Great Dark Beyond.
  • Players will be able to open their The Great Dark Beyond packs as soon as the Brawl begins. This includes Pre-Purchase packs, but also free ones you get from other sources (such as Twitch drops).
  • You can’t buy any extra GDB packs with Gold or craft individual cards from the expansion. You’re limited to the cards you open.
  • The Brawl has no MMR, matchmaking is based solely on your current score.

Rewards Structure

Unlike Heroic Tavern Brawl, Pre-Release Brawl has a much more average player-friendly reward structure. Since the reward curve is way more flat, winning just a couple of games (or even going 0-3) is not going to hurt your wallet that much. On the other hand, there’s not THAT much to win – even going all the way to 6 wins nets you a single extra The Great Dark Beyond card pack (and a random Common + Rare card). Pro players can’t exactly “score big” like they can in Heroic Brawliseum, but we should still see plenty of them.

The average win rate of 3-3 will give you two The Great Dark Beyond packs, one Perils in Paradise pack, and one random GDB Common card. Depending on your collection and the need for PiP card packs, it’s either a slight loss or a break-even point. However, even if you have no need for PiP card packs, getting a 2-1 split is not the end of the world.

One more thing to note is that the Brawl has no MMR. You’re matched based only on your score (for example, if you’re at 2-2, the game will try to match you with another 2-2 player). This kind of system is, of course, positive for the high-ranked players and negative for the low-ranked ones. It also means that there’s some extra luck involved during matchmaking – if you queue your first match at 0-0 you might meet a Bronze player or a top Legend player.

All of that said, given that every player gets one free entry AND that the latest event has two Tavern Tickets among the rewards, I still recommend people give it a try. And if you end up finding the Brawl fun, playing it a couple more times shouldn’t drain your budget even if you don’t end up scoring very well.

6 Wins Pre-Release Brawl Deck Lists

This Brawl is a bit unique given that you can’t exactly copy every deck 1 to 1. Players will have limited access to The Great Dark Beyond cards, so everyone’s collection will look different, and you can’t craft cards to fill the gaps. You will often have to look for some card replacements.

If you’re looking for some deck ideas, Old Guardian wrote a theorycrafting article, sharing a few build ideas. Two of them use no GDB cards at all (for people who didn’t pre-order) and three use GDB Commons + Rares (if you pre-ordered, you should have all of them).

Given that this Brawl only goes up to 6 wins, it might be a bit harder to judge the deck’s success when compared to Brawls that go up to 12 wins. But there’s not much we can do other than just sharing 6 wins builds – a clear pattern of strongest builds should emerge after a few days anyway.

I’ll keep adding new decks over the course of the Brawl. Newest decks are at the top.

    On two accounts, I experimented a little because I had a ton of Arena passes to burn.
    No deck will always get 6 wins, but my most consistent deck has been this DK Handpump, which is good for at least 3 wins on average. And, I got my first 6-2 victory tonight with it.
    Beware of DH (too fast) and Shaman (kill before the cast when drawn cards start hitting).

    Will it work similarly to the Tavern? If I don’t reach 3 losses, will I get my entries back when it ends?

      That’s a very good question, but I don’t think so. If you don’t finish your Heroic Tavern Brawl run, you just get rewards for the number of wins you got, no refunds of any kind. I think it’s going to be the same here. But you can test it out 🙂
