A new patch hit Hearthstone today and with it came some very interesting client data! We've got details to share for an upcoming Hearthstone brawl called Blackrock Crash!
Internally the brawl is referred to as EVIL Blackrock Mountain. Awesome.
What is Blackrock Crash?
You brought the city of Dalaran to ME? laughs in Nefarian
We only have a small glimpse into it so we're not 100% certain on everything here so keep that in mind. Yep, that's a datamined content warning.
With that out of the way, Blackrock Crash is a very interesting piece of content. It appears to be a Solo PvE Tavern Brawl that actually takes form as a Dungeon Run and will be available during this year's Fire Festival. From it, an old card back is returning, the Ragnaros card back, which is earned when you complete a run.
There's also a second component, or at least that's what it appears to be, where the brawl takes form as a mega raid boss for Fireside Brawls. Much like when The Lich King was raided years ago with a combined health pool, the same seems to be the case for Ragnaros. Oh yeah, that Ragnaros has 15000 health.

Thanks for the laugh! I truly hope you’re just a troll. If not, I suggest you look back at your posts here in a few years, so you can realize how crazy you sound.
I came back and looked my posts, they seem still sane. Also now I've pissed of again because of tyrande news. More than ever.
Lol, so if someone gave you the chance to see this ancient glorious city, would you think that person is rude to the dead citizens or how this angrylife works?
Dude, you "earned" the card back during season 12 and now they're "earning" the card back from this limited time event. Thematically the fire festival has always featured rag so it makes sense to award his card back.
I like the part where you compared receiving a digital card back to traveling back in time and being able to witness the glory and splendor of an ancient civilization. Oh, and Saviors of Uldum is coming, so we get to do both!
Really !? Now they are giving old card backs ?
Wtf is wrong with you Blizzard ? It was a limited time card-back. So with this way of considering, gaining new players are better than keeping old players in hand ?
Wrong decision. I'm not happy with this reward since im a player who plays this game since beta.
Edit: Ah and don't get me wrong. Im not saying that "how dare you don't give us new stuff!?" it is about exclusiveness. Giving the season 12 card back to players who didn't play at season 12 is wrong in my opinion. That's rude to the players who played in season 12. They "gained" it by playing in that season. Now they are giving this achievement to everyone.
Rude.
Wow, -120 rating! You might have trouble recovering from that.
I don't really consider this that earth shattering when you take another Blizzard game into consideration (WoW).
In WoW many of us hardcore mount collectors eventually started seeing mounts we spent months searching for, or grinding millions of gold for, etc eventually pop up on the BMAH. If a game like WoW was going to eventually open up extremely rare mounts or items up for many more people to get I wouldn't consider Blizzard opening up a card back that you spent almost no effort getting (rank 20 or 5 games is hardly exhausting effort) then I'm not crushed by the news honestly.
Who the f**k cares, except you of course dear
I am super excited for this card back. I have been playing since beta and missed out on this card back and it's been the envy of my collection.
Great idea from Blizzard to bring back older card backs. Don't get your panties in a bunch because of the "lack of exclusivity."
I'm sorry.. did you WORK HARD for that cardback. Did your sweat drip down your eyebrows for it? Why do you deserve it and others don't. Just for having played the game earlier than others? Or didn't take a break from the game during that time? You should reconsider your values.
maybe i didn't work hard, maybe it was so easy to obtain but there were a time restriction for it and I spent my time to get it. It isn't about trying hard or stupid card back.
It is about the value which Blizzard didn't give the old players and loyal players.
I know what is value and I know the most valuable thing in a life is time. I think you need to consider your values.
I agree with you (I do not have the cardback myself because of a few month HS-burnout back then)
Those season cardbacks should stay exclusive to the one's that earned them. Even though they were pretty easy to obtain, giving them a rerun isn't really promoting exclusiveness.
So people who weren't around for season 12 can't have the card back? As an example the game has been out so long some players were not even old enough to understand to play it when it launched.
I'm glad you're being down-voted to oblivion.
Where do you get such an elitist, selfish attitude from?
from being a human.
Imagine being irate that a visual on a children’s card game is now available to everyone
yeah children's card game, ok.
Its not even a payed Card back, man
that's what gives older seasonal card backs more value.
I don't think value is money, breaking a sweat is the value.
Oh no. no. no. You didn't have to put an Edit: to explain. We didn't get you wrong. We heard you loud and clear, you are a selfish pickle.
