This week in Hearthstone you'll be able to play an ancient Tavern Brawl Mode with twisted rules. If you played the Karazhan adventure, then you'll probably remember the chess-like game that you needed to accomplish to defeat the boss. Well, it's the same with this Tavern Brawl — except this time you've been allowed to cheat.
Among other chess cards — Pawns, Knights, Bishops, Queens, and Kings — you'll have the possibility to add six cards from any set to your deck.
In a similar way than chess, you will embody either blacks or whites. Even though you need to pick a class when building your deck, it won't affect the class that is shown — meaning your opponent cannot guess which class you're playing until you use one of these six cards.
We can imagine three different strategies to play this Tavern Brawl:
- Use some buffs cards in order to protect chess pieces and build a huge army (that's the one we used in previous and following screenshots.)
- Play some AoE spells to get rid off your opponent's pieces
- Set up a 20 damage combo — since heroes have 20 HP in this game mode
As usual, you'll earn a Classic Card Pack with your first victory.
The end of Season 1 of the Grandmasters league will also mark the replacement of the Specialist format. Guess what, Conquest Format (Bo3) is BACK!
