We've known it was the 24th forever, people keep mentioning it and no one listens.
Its Medivh/inspire vs. Alleria/joust. Sounds RNG-y, shocker!

They just threw all the cards in a pile man. This isn't a "game mode" its an advertisement for the expansion cards and to buy Medivh and Alleria!

Tavern Brawl's just been a huge fucking dumpster fire. The game mode is not fun at all and outside of the -2 cost deathrattle, required almost 0 thought. Worse is that it siphons noobs off the other play modes so that they become even more competitive. Which, by itself, is fine. But coupled with current rewards, taking a decent to good arena deck to 3-3 because everyone else is playing around your level is just not going to cut it in the long run.
Constructed is constructed, your collection will dictate success more than your opponent's skill level. But tougher competition when the reward is a card back(and soon to be 1-3 golden cards) per month...meh?
I know some of you keep clamoring for tourney mode, but I think that's a mistake. Given how poorly they've supported Arena and Tavern Brawl, tourney mode will just end up dividing the player base even more.

Well, at least they chose a Mage for the Inspire deck!
I think it's probably a mistake to show off the new cards in this format though. They don't seem to be well-suited to decks that aren't designed around them or at least Joust will look particularly bad as a 50/50 effect.

I also think that this is there way of letting us "try out" TGT so they don't feel compelled to give out free packs and arena runs like they did with GVG.

With GvG the problem with enabling it in Arena was that it affected Constructed too.... the RNG minions could give you GvG stuff (webspinner). It was very minor at the time because Webspinner was like the only card that could do it. Anyway, Brawl seems to be disconnected from Constructed completely so it makes sense they limit TGT to there.
TL;DR: Arena/Constructed share the same card pool. Brawl is separate.

Yeah Tavern Brawl has been such a disappointment, aside from 1 or 2. It's been play till I win my pack and stop.
The potential was there for some fun, but they've been lazy in it's implementation, and the short duration of each one probably doesn't really make it worthwhile to invest lots of time designing each one. Lack of reward after the first win doesn't help either.
I'll probably play this one a few times to get a look at the new mechanics, but that's about it.
Still looking forward to the 24th though, as I am looking forward to the new cards.

I've used it for dailies too. This last one was good for getting rogue or druid wins since they were OP for that one. The portals one was good if you wanted to unload the stupid forty spells daily too. Its kind of a fun distraction, shit goes way off the rails in those brawls often. Just wacky shit that would never have a chance of occurring in constructed play. Not sure you can call it a disappointment since everyone thought it sounded lame from the get-go anyway.

Druid/Rogue/Priest were easy dailies to get done with the summoners brawl. Really that is all I use brawl for is dailies now.
But all the brawls ideas have pretty much confirmed we will never get anything interesting like making decks with only even or odd costed cards and so on.
I just like them in general , even if RNG is out of control. It just makes it challenging for me to think through those situations that I don't suspect.
I won 85 matches on the spell slingin brawl. Probly my favorite one, hate most of the rest.
