Randomonium
An encounter at the crossroads... under a manastorm! Choose a class, get random cards. Each turn your cards' costs are randomized!
How It Works
- Pick a class: your deck will be filled with random neutral and class-specific cards.
- At the start of each turn, the mana cost of all cards in your hand changes.
- Minimum random mana cost is 1 and maximum the cards' original cost.
Trivia
- This brawl is a randomized mana cost variant of Encounter at the Crossroads.
- This brawl is featured on both A Cavalcade of Brawls! and The 207th Brawl Spectacular!
- This brawl is the most repeated brawl in Hearthstone's history.

I really dont like how many brawls we have that are just some variation of "here is some random cards"
it is getting boring.
I wouldn't be surprised if they actually have more people playing them throughout the week than the ones where you build your own deck, and hence the devs reuse them more often. I'd be interested in seeing the actual numbers as well as a venn diagram of players who spend time on each broad type of brawl; the overlap is probably quite small.
In defense of the random brawls: they are by no means perfect, but I for one enjoy them while they are around, and I certainly appreciate that they don't collapse into a more restrictive and cutthroat meta than constructed within the first hour.
IIRC, the Hearthstone team has said that this is their most popular Brawl mode, whether you measure by number of games played or total amount of time spent.
This is probably not what any of us would expect, but it’s a good reminder that Hearthstone has a lot of different types of players, some of whom are not represented on our message boards.
I can only speak for myself but yes, I love the random brawls. They are great for questing and they are fun.
With the random brawls, where you get a predefined deck, I usually rack up somewhere between 20 to 40 wins (and I usually only do my daily quests). With the brawls where you have to build a deck, I usually only play until I get my free pack.
For me, the random brawls are quick, replayable, exciting fun. I wouldn't need the deckbuilding ones at all
I think the deckbuilding ones could be more fun if they loosened them up a bit. Only being able to use three cards, for instance - of course a meta is going to form very quickly for that, because there are less decisions to make. But what if you could only make decks with Horde or Alliance characters (and all of those were available for the Brawl)? That way, not only are there more deckbuilding decisions to make, but you also get the fun of seeing how your lore-good decks would work in a Hearthstone setting. Bringing lore into it can make even terrible losses fun or funny, and providing cards makes it more enticing.
