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!

Comments
In the text it says: "open your preorder packs" but I suppose it'd also work with just the 3 free ones?
It does. You can't play with your cards, though, unless you open enough for a deck
Just wanted to put this out there: I've hosted a bunch of actual public Gatherings over the last couple years, and it's wicked fun. You meet local people who love to play Hearthstone, and generally have a blast. Plus, I've added a ton of folks to my friends list for 80 gold challenges.
I also love that you can do these privately too, for people who don't want to do public ones. I have gotten a few people location-spoofing because they want to get Nemsy or the Fireside cardback. I think it's lame, since they can just make their own Gathering.
Pre-release Gatherings are extra fun because of the special No Cards Barred brawl. You can whip up some CRAZY decks! Underbelly Fence is a good card, right? Why not run 14 of them?
Nice one, event created :D !
Grats on Sir Finley Flux!
Wow wish there was an open all button lol.
Nice to know, thanks!
I'm wondering if location spoofing is still possible; I tried it during RaR to no avail
EDIT: I just made an event; the page wouldn't let me start the Fireside Gathering before 8:30 pm CEST. I don't know if the time is a hard start time or if the gathering needs to start at least 1:30 hours after the moment you register it. Thought that this is good info to know.
Yeah you have to wait I think 1.5 hours after registering the event before it can start. Kind of annoying, but oh well.
No point in having to locate spoof. You can make a private fireside at your house to open them early. You can activate it the same day but you just have a 4 hour window so make sure you do it during a time you will not lose out on anything fun.
