The Dark Wanderer

A hooded stranger sits to play, holding a grim deck in his hands. Can you unravel the secrets surrounding this dark wanderer?


Trivia

  • The brawl's first appearance celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Diablo franchise, and rewarded a special card back instead of a pack.
  • The brawl's second and third appearances celebrate the launch of Diablo IV, and award another special card back through a legendary quest.


How It Works (2023)

  • Your opponent is the Dark Wanderer, who starts with 50 Health and 3 Secrets in play.
    • His Hero Power Diabolical Powers costs (3) and summons a random Imp.
  • The Secrets always seem to be same and trigger at certain Health thresholds.
    • Visions of Knowledge at 40 Health - Both heroes have +3 Spell Damage.
    • Visions of Fate at 30 Health - Fill the hand of both players. Cards cost (2) less.
    • Visions of Hate at 20 Health - Both heroes take double damage.
  • When the Dark Wanderer's Health reaches zero, the second phase of the fight begins: your opponent is now Diablo with 150 Health.
    • His Hero Power turns into 4-Cost Lord of Terror - Draw 3 cards and reduce their Cost by (3).
    • Diablo will also get a new deck.
    • Diablo has one new Secret which will only trigger if you lose. (Black Soulstone - When opposing hero takes fatal damage, capture their soul for future use).
    • Diablo's Apocalypse-spell hits like a truck as it will destroy all minions and deal 12 damage to your hero for each destroyed thanks to the Secrets' effects in play - keep the board clear or risk getting wiped out of nowhere!
  • If you lose to Diablo, your next match will start directly from the second phase with Diablo having the Health he had left when he defeated you the last time.
    • All the effects from phase 1 Secrets will be active.
    • Additionally, there will be one new effect in play.
      • After your first loss, it will be Faceless Soulstone - All minions are 4 mana 7/7.
      • If you lose the second time, it will change to Nat Pagle's Soulstone - At the start of each turn, both Players have 50% chance to draw a card.

    I did it with Triple Blood Rune DK, and boy, Diablo stood no chance at all.
    That card back is sooooooooooo nice!

    I had no idea what to run here as I didn't remember it from last time. Played Defend the Dwarven District Hunter and completely wrecked it. The secrets give you spell damage, fill your hand and discount spells, and make both heroes take double damage. Killed the 150 health second stage in 1 turn. LOLOLOL.
