Tavern Brawl this week is... "Brawliseum -- Battle of the Bans" (Nov. 13, 2019)
Description: Regular Brawliseum text: "To the victors go the spoilers. More wins mean more rewards. 12 wins for maximum glory. 3 losses end your run." and the special Battle of the Bans text: "The Ban Battle has reached the Brawliseum. Pick four cards. Your opponent will BAN one of them, then we'll make you a deck full of the cards remaining."
Format:
Wild (?)Standard / Constructed. (Remember that the "Doom in the Tomb" cards are still Standard-legal.) Basically build a 4-card Standard deck, knowing that one card will get banned each game, then your deck will have 10 copies each of the other 3 cards.Rewards: See below for the full list of Arena reward tiers. Your first run is free, so even with 0 wins you'll win 1 SOU pack plus something extra (as opposed to regular TB rewards, which is 1 Classic pack for your first win, but nothing extra).
History: This is the first time we've seen this specific format. However we've had Brawliseum 7 times before (5 times with Standard decks, once with Wild decks, and once with Miniature Warfare rules.) We've also had the "Battle of the Bans" format once before.

2 wins: an SOU card pack plus one random reward: 40-50 gold, or 40-50 dust, or 1 common card, or 1 rare card
3 wins: an SOU card pack, and 25-35 gold, PLUS one random reward: 20-25 gold, or 10-25 dust, or 1 rare card
4 wins: an SOU card pack, and 50-60 gold, PLUS one random reward: 20-25 gold, or 10-25 dust, or 1 rare card
5 wins: an SOU card pack, and 50-60 gold, PLUS one random reward: 45-60 gold, or 45-60 dust, or 1 rare card

7 wins: an SOU card pack, and 150-160 gold, PLUS one random reward: 20-25 gold, or 10-25 dust, or 1 rare card. (If you can consistently garner 7+ wins, that's called "going infinite" because the guaranteed gold pays for your next entry fee, and the other stuff is "profit".)

12 wins: an SOU card pack, plus 215-225 gold, and another 25-35 gold, PLUS one random reward from this list [140-180 gold, or a golden common card, or a golden rare card, or an epic card, or a legendary card] AND ALSO one random reward from this other list [70-100 gold, or a Standard-set card pack (Classic, TWW, Boom, Rasta, ROS or SOU), or a golden rare card, or a golden epic card, or a golden legendary card].
the 12-wins reward package remains the same regardless of how many losses you had

Hi all - we’ve temporarily disabled the Tavern Brawl mode and expect it to return tomorrow, Thursday the 14th. Some players were encountering some issues after matches have concluded, and these were serious enough that we wanted to take the mode down entirely.
We’re planning to bring the mode back tomorrow and will be rotating in a different Tavern Brawl for the rest of the week. We’ll provide an update at that time to let everyone know that the mode has been enabled again and give you a heads up of what Tavern Brawl we’ve rotated in.
