Playing With Your New Uldum Cards
Fireside Gathering Pre-releases allow you to play with new cards early via special Tavern Brawls.
Brawl 1 - Saviors of Uldum No Cards Barred!
- This Fireside Brawl allows you to build decks using cards you've opened from your pre-order packs.
- There are no restrictions on class cards or duplicates, build the craziest deck.
Brawl 2 - Uldumonium
- Built off of Randomonium, its a pre-constructed brawl that uses the new Uldum deck recipes.
- No need to buy packs in order to play with new cards!

How do I open the packs for the Fireside Gathering? I preordered both the 50 and the 80 pack bundles for the new expansion. I hosted my own event just now, it lets me into the gathering, I can choose to do the Fireside/Friendly Duels, but no option to open packs.
133 Packs, 12 Legendaries, 2 of the packs were double Legendaries.
eye twitching....
83 packs
4 Legendaries (Dinotamer Brann, Dark Pharaoh Tekahn, Elise the Enlightened, Bazaar Burglary)
15 Epics
10 Golds (Rare/Common Only)
I’m not really sure if I’m happy with my $80 worth..
Fun little bug; you can play the SoU cards in the regular tavern brawl as well.
That explains what I saw, pretty cool.
Why does creating my own unlisted event never work? Like with all of the other pre-launch pack openings before I've tried to create my own unlisted event, following the time restrictions & filling out an address, marking it as unlisted, etc and yet again get greeted with a 404 error after submitting the event.
266 packs: 17 legendaries, 61 epics
Two accounts?
17 is really lucky.
133 packs
7 legendarys (Roug, Warrioe, Warlock, Shaman, Hunter Quests).
26 epic
Dont get me started ...
Fast question: i havent bought the pre order bundle and i cant find the packs i want to buy in the shop, because there is only the bundle instead of the pack, i dont want to buy it, what do i do
You cannot buy individual SoU packs until the expansion launches, this fireside gathering event is only for opening the packs that come with the pre-order.
Well that explains it, at least i was able to open my taver brawl packs(3) and got BEEES.... thanks for the replies guys.
I got them only after I open like 6p packs.
As far as I know, you have to buy the bundle. That’s what this event is available for. Even if you were to buy individual packs, you’d be unlikely to have enough to assemble a single class deck, so the competitive component of the Brawl wouldn’t quite make sense, even if it is a pretext.
Potentially weird question. I just went through the entire setup to verify that it works — but can someone confirm that this does NOT cover the Golden Legendaries you would have unlocked from pre-order, nor the quest everyone will supposedly pick up on release?
Depending on what my Goldens were, I was potentially planning on dusting one to craft another before opening packs; am I thus potentially better off waiting?
You cannot craft SoU cards until the expansion launches (or D/E anything you open at a fireside gathering).
Can confirm, just the packs, no extra's.
Edit:
I'm also no sure how "crafting stuff you want before opening" is beneficial in any way.
It just removes it from the potential award pool. Imho, opening packs and hoping to get that card you want like that is a way better strategy than sacrificing cards and/or dust prior to opening and obtain it trough crafting. The only scenario I can think of where it might be better is if you're after a specific golden card and don't want to run the risk of getting a normal copy which would remove it from the pool.
That would be the exact scenario. I didn’t go through the trouble of getting my Rogue golden to sully her portrait with non-gold Ancient Blades.
Thanks for confirming!
