Later today marks the beginning of the final week of the Forbidden Library event in Hearthstone. Nothing major is going on today outside of the return of an old card back into the shop, but tomorrow is where the real action starts.
Magic of Dalaran Card Back Returns
Later today the Dalaran card back will be returning to the shop for 1 week! This card back was originally available during the June 2017 ranked play season, so if you're a newer player or just missing that season, you'll be able to add this card back to your collection.
- You can purchase it for 500 Gold.
- The card back is also available for real money. (2.99 Euros, $2.99 USD)
Heroic Brawliseum - September 23
We don't have a normal Tavern Brawl this week, which is probably a good thing since it would have most likely only been a repeat (technically it still is). It has been over 3 years since we last saw Heroic Brawliseum which was during brawl #99 on May 2, 2017.
- This is a paid Tavern Brawl (1000 Gold or $9.99).
- You construct a deck using your own Standard cards to participate.
- Like Arena, there is a reward structure in place based on your wins and you can only go a max of 12 wins with your run.
- The gamble is huge. 12 Wins is insane value!
Here is the rewards breakdown based on your wins. Your break-even at 5 wins, with roughly 1000 gold worth of value out of the rewards. (1 Dust is roughly 1 Gold, a pack is 100 Gold)

Three weeks event and nothing in it for me at the end.
I’m really missing old REAL events.
If this is team5's idea of an event, then its back to the drawing board with them.
I can't seem to remember an event-filled month that is so utterly unmemorable. Just bring back midsummer fire festival please, or something like that doom in the tomb event where we get to play with some wild cards added to standard. I can think of a few classes that can use a boosting.
Welp, this was underwhelming. After a "three week" event all I got out of it is a mage pack and playing a very short adventure. The rest of the stuff (BG, bundles, brawliseum) I couldn't care less, and already had the cardback. Miss the good old days of Firefestival.
It's obvious that we can't look directly at 12 wins. Even my average wins is between 3-6 in arena. So the conclusion is, my 1000 gold is better spend somewhere else. coz it's not worth it.
I agree - you'd need somewhere between an 85.7 - 100 percent winrate.
No free ticket, so us mere mortals won't be playing for top players to get their early wins against meaning they'll mostly just face each other.
I guess streamers and other content creators might be going for it but I doubt they'll be lots 12 of win runs considering the overall size of the playerbase.
Rather have a free pack than this. Repeat random brawls aren't always super fun but at least you can complete quests in them. Guess it's casual for me this week :(
LOL. I guess these 3 weeks of fancy event is devoted to kings and gods only.
I guess this is their way of saying, "we gave you rarity duplicate protection and so many f2p rewards already, let us do some milking now"
"mere mortals" got me deep. ~(˘▾˘~)
Agreed. Not to mention but every time in the past I've tried heroic brawliseum it's most of the time "who's playing the smorciest deck?" It would be way more fun if they put some deckbuilding restrictions into these, but at this point I feel like Blizz can't be arsed to do anything for any of their games
Welp, useless week to me.
So if we don't get a free initial run, this exciting new event means we actually *lose* a pack reward compared to every other normal week.
I'll be glad when this event is over. Bring back Midsummer Fire Festival for double gold for 2 weeks, or the gold + dust quests :)
Amen.
Do we know if the MMR matchmaking will be active this tavern brawl
I'm pretty sure it works the same as in Arena, so you'll be matched against others with the same number of wins and losses as you (or as close as it can get). Thanks to the Hearthstone Wiki I was able to find this old tweet confirming this is how it worked before: https://twitter.com/bbrode/status/788106922067046402
I have no idea how many players actually play it at any one time though. If that number is small (which it very well might be) then your wins/losses might be less important than the simple fact that you were queuing at the same time.
That is a ridiculous value. 50 packs, lots of dust, AND legendaries...
This event has been utterly disappointing so far. Apart from the Book of Heroes (which hopefully will not replace the solo content for this expansion) we pretty much only got a couple of new BG heroes. The rest was promotion of mostly overpriced packages and cosmetics. The Brawliseum is no different, average players will likely not make a profit here. I daresay the free pack would probably be better for most.
I'm ok with this if we will get an actual Scholomance event later, if this has been the main event of this expansion then I'm pissed.
Agreed.
I miss the 2 and even 3 week events where we got double gold, gold + dust quests or even free packs every day.
Those were the days.
I think this is the solo content for this expansion, coming out 10 months straight... The think I am most afraid of is, this replacing the next expansions solo adventure...
Uhh, this is the solo content for this expansion. Sorry to ruin your day.
Wait what? It is Heroic Brawliseum ???
I guess I didn't read that right when it was announced... I couldn't imagine, they would choose 1000-gold cost Tavern Brawl during so called "3-Week Event"...
I was so sure, we will just get Brawliseum, maybe because the Heroic version of it didn't appear for such a looong time. Now that's a disappointment right? Huge disappointment :(
Even tho I had a great results this month (66% winrate with Face Hunter), as a F2P player, I am not willing to risk 1000 gold for it... Peace, i'm out for this week :(((
is there will be free first try?
Only paid entries =(
