This week's Tavern Brawl is "The 207th Brawl Spectacular!" (May 29, 2019)
Description: Welcome to the 207th Brawl Spectacular! Pick a Brawl, we'll load you up with a random class and a deck based on that Brawl's rules.
Rewards a Rise of Shadows pack.
This is a Wild brawl.
This is a random deck brawl. Pick 1 of 9 brawls, and you get a random deck based on that brawl’s rules.
Your opponent can be on a different brawl rule-set. The brawl each player is on will be stated at the start of the game.
This is the 1st time we've seen this brawl.
It seems that currently wins with specific classes are not always counting for daily quests in this brawl. Quests for "play x class cards" or "play minions with Battlecry", etc, will still count.
List of brawls available:
Battle of Tol Barad - Pick a minion and get a random spell of the same cost, but for free!
Yellow-Brick Brawl - Start the game with Dorothee! She grants Charge on her left and Taunt on her right.
Treasure in the Catacombs! - Play minions to complete your quest and get an awesome treasure!
When Clones Attack! - Every minion you play will generate a 1/1 clone.
The Masked Ball - Summoned minions have "Deathrattle: Summon a minion that costs (2) less."
The Void Singularity - All of your minions become crushed into a single powerful entity of light!
Cloneball! - Your deck is made up of random legendaries, each cloned four times.
Randomonium - Each turn your cards' costs are randomised!
Bag of Burgled Spells - Your spells summon a random minion of the same cost!
Late edit: Live Content Designer Joe Mag (he posted below as well!) gives an introduction and a bit of backstory for the brawl in this twitter thread - https://twitter.com/joemag_games/status/1133785407475376128
After the Brawl of Champions brawl we got the tech to have alternate heroes in the hero selector. Been wanting to see how far we can push that tech, really happy with how the chalkboards-as-heroes worked out.
So about the name... With brawls we do our best to stay out of the way of major releases, let new card sets and solo content shine on their own. We had wanted to do something special for 200 but it fell right on the Rise of Shadows launch, and we've liked Brawliseums in that spot
Also yes, I'm thrilled someone on reddit caught this but the brawl name is a pretty deep cut Simpsons reference. (cc: @thatbilloakley)

I'm just a man who watched way too much Simpsons growing up.

Appreciate it!

Yes yes yes YES. Was absolutely the joke I was going for, was worried it was going to be too much of a deep cut.
