Rewards + Should You Play Heroic Brawliseum?
Is Heroic Brawliseum worth spending 1000 Gold? There’s really no right or wrong answer because it all depends on your skill level. Realistically, you need 5 wins to break even (but the Brawl is top-heavy so the really good rewards start even higher). An average score is 3-3 – so an okay player won’t even get their value, let alone win something more. Statistically, ~3/4 of players will finish between 0 and 4 wins. But if you can consistently get to at least 5 wins OR get to 12 at least once (one 12 wins is worth around 10 entries assuming you disenchant the Golden Legendaries), then it’s a really good deal.
One issue, however, is that you get packs from the current expansion, while most players already own a big portion of it and would rather save for the next set (or the mini-set, which should be released soon). So if you already have all of the cards from the current set that you wanted, more packs will only give you extra dust, and that’s not perfect.
As for the real money entry – obviously, if you have a lot of spare money and that’s how you want to spend it, then no one will stop you. But similarly, I recommend trying only if you’re a really skilled player, preferably someone who consistently hits high Legend.
Long story short – I don’t recommend participating in this Brawl for the majority of players. Unless you’re a really skilled, high Legend player – you will most likely lose more than you gain. Since this Brawl has no extra skin rewards, there is even less incentive to run it for a regular player.
12 Wins Heroic Brawliseum Deck Lists
We will be adding 12 wins decks here as the Brawl progresses and more people reach that score. Since the Brawl has just started and we only have a few decks, you can look at the full list of Standard decks on our website. Most of them should also work fine in this Brawl.

12-2 with regular treant druid
Confirms next miniset being close to release date
I’m glad they started doing a legendary quest so people can still get their weekly free pack if they don’t play the brawl. I’m an average standard player, so it would never be worth it for me to participate.
i do not care for cosmetics, but i am easily tempted by any kind of quest, task, etc that offers me a reward.
Thank you stonekeep for talking me out of it!
I deleted the quest and never looked back
haha good joke skill when the game is pay to win
the only way to win is not to play
-war games, 1983
12/2 with the token Undead Dk
Most wins were pretty easy, lost to celestial Druid cause of bad draw and big spell mage cause i couldnt break the armor
Last game was a mirror match wich went realy close
But i think going with this list is the best idea, might even go a 2nd time
Got 7 wins as Blood DK. Lost to face DH, buff Paladin and Evo Shaman
Went 4-3 with pure pala.
so for 1000 gold i got f portrait, 180gold, 5 packs and 195 dust.
not bad, but not super good.
I can’t help but feel this is both the best and worst time to dangle Heroic Brawliseum in front of players again. Coming on the heels of a new balance patch when things are shaken up as folks try to figure out what the best decks and lists are again? Sure, it’d keep things interesting. But at the steep cost of 1,000 gold, plus the tempting offer of an exclusive cosmetic with no free entry for folks to experiment with and feel out the meta? Now that’s just cruel.
I got my 3 wins after losing to Evolve Shaman mirror match, Blood Death Knight, and won the next 3 matches against (of all things) Death Knight running nothing but Core neutrals like Chillwind Yeti and Cairne Bloodhoof, Dragon Druid running Amber Whelp and Twilight Drake, and a Blood Death Knight who got steamrolled with double Tiny Toys + Convincing Disguise. It was an experience, but the idea of knowing that at any point you could just go 0, 1 or 2 wins and 3 losses was absolutely unpleasant. Imagine being the guy who has to run a budget deck in a ruthless format with little room for error or terrible luck – or the saps running the first two decks I ran across.
If Blizzard really, really wanted their pound of flesh, they could have simply made the skin more accessible by “Play three games” instead of “Win three games”, but apparently there’s enough rubes to fleece where folks somehow don’t have the resources to make functioning decks and yet have the gold to spare on an even worse risk-reward ratio.
TL;DR: Do you like playing Standard and losing on coinflip margins? If you don’t, the Scarlet skin is not for you.
rewards are not even good .If dont get 9 wins dont even worth the 1000gold and 9 wins is not easy to get even for a good player
They aren’t even trying to hide the gambling for kids anymore!
This ‘event’ is an unbelivable rip-off and will cost Blizzard many players.
I’m baffled by their decisionmaking when it comes to ‘making the player base happy’. It almost feels like they desperately try to kill the game (fearfully looking at that battle pass reward system thingy).
no free run for first time?
im really poor, no free pack this week for me
This is too much. Most of us expecting a freebie this week. Not this.
Hearthstone is obviously doesn’t know how to make gamer happy.
If I were them, I could’ve easily turn Arena Mode into Heroic Mode and still doesn’t dissapoint.
I would call them lazy, but even that is not enough.
Very disappointed in this event. I imagine many are. Thank you for your hard work for those participating.
not even giving us a free ticket at this brawl, cant believe how greedy they are
thx for this rip off you called an event
I play since Kobolds and this is by far the worst event I have seen. It was never so pay to play as I remember.
What a poor event this three weeks: first pay for wild cards, than get one free pack and and ok adventure and than not even one free round of the brawl… I hope there is more useful stuff to come in the future because this is nothing
