Comparing HS to poker is like comparing SC2 to chess- it's simply a ridiculous way to support a point.
It's a popular game with a loot of RNG. I admit that poker has more mindgames, especially if we're not talking about on-line poker. However i did not state that HS is the same as Poker, i just responded to one argument, which could actually be made for both games: "pure RNG = can't take it seriously" (which isn't actually true about HS, it has a lot of RNG, just like Poker but both have other factors as well).

Is there a known release date?

If there is no reward structure similar to Arenas or at least a ladder of some sorts, why even play it? If I want to take a break, I play random decks versus my friends. If you don't have friends, well tough luck, make some on the forums or add people after games.
Let's see what comes, but my hopes are kinda diminished.
Then don't play it? The mode is clearly not for people who pay to have complete packs.

It's a casual game next to something like Starcraft, but that doesn't stop people from taking the game seriously and trying to win as much as possible. So far there's no game mode that encourages messing around with new decks, the closest we have is the Adventure mode, even unranked play is filled with people testing their serious ladder decks. If you want to mess around with new strategies these days, you're probably going to lose a lot.
Also Tavern Brawl is a free mode. Honestly, they make the cosmetic addition of heroes the paid content, while the actual new game mode is completely free, and people still find room to complain. Blows my mind.

I for one strongly support the addition of cosmetic things, as long as it does not get too confusing. And makes card packs cheaper in return :p

So we want tournament mode and instead we get Tempo Storm ChallengeStone Mode. Yippee What "we"? These few days were the most cringeworthy days for me, regarding HS. People barely stopped crying about the new heroes and how will they ask so much money from their mum, and then this "tournament mode!!!"-craze begun. I was just reading the posts while praying they will be wrong. I absolutely hate the idea of a tournament mode. Ranked is tryhard enough, I don't want a new mode which would be basically called "Grim Patrons and Hunters only, thxbye!!". It's fun for those who either dig the current must-play decks, or those who are seriously competitive, but why would I care about it. I'm not a legend player (and I'm not alone), I don't like playing with one of the top 3 meta decks, especially when they come in various forms of being über-expensive (control lock), goes against my playstyle even if it would net me more wins (basically any Hunter) or I just find it annoying to play (grim patron). Why would I want a mode where I go in with my dear deck which is so enjoyable for me, just to meet some cancer deck under the hand of a legend player, to make my nightmarish experience even worse? But even without that personal context, why would a tournament mode would be soooo great? So you can play for being the best? That sounds awfully familiar... oh yeah, ranked mode implemented in a different format. And how on Earth people thought it should give rewards? That is just beyond me. I agree that newcomers are in a bad spot, but giving out dust/gold/cards to the best players (aka the ones in top legend) won't do shit for them. You can sustain yourself in Arena, no matter what rank you are on, but it would never happen in a tournament mode if you are not the best. And if there were different "leagues", then people would just keep losing intentionally in ranked mode, because it's easier to win a tournament among rank 17-14 when your real level is 6. There is no we, and this mode sounds dope as hell. I am totally on board with it, even if it doesn't reward us with anything fancy. It's goofy, it's fun, it's refreshing and a new way to test your knowledge - in Arena your hand is held a bit, because you are only given 3 options for every pick, but in this new playmode you probably have to basically solve a puzzle while creating your deck. Certain type of cards are banned? Then what cards became stronger? What became weaker? Sounds a hella more fun, then "ALL RIGHT, LET'S BUY IN FOR A NEW TOURNAMENT ROUND. LET'S SEE... MY DECKS ARE... HMM, LET'S GO WITH GRIM WARRIOR, ONE FORM OF HUNTER AND HANDLOCK AGAIN! SO MUCH FUN!" Edit: Don't get me wrong, if I had all the stuff for a control Warlock (the only top deck I might enjoy to play) and would eventually learn to pilot it to legend, I'd probably be entertained by the idea that I can shine my dick in a new game mode, because I can get quite competitive. But if I wanted to do that, I'd just search for a tournament organized by a third party and that's all.
let the tears flow as the river does... u do understand that there are decks that counter those "tryhard" decks right? i went to PressStartLan(at UCI) with 3 decks not in the current meta and was undefeated in my group (yes there were legendary level players in my group). u r honestly talking out of ur ass without fully understanding the level of play the game actually requires in the deck building process. i met patron warriors, facehunters, handlocks, ramp druid, demon locks... etc; i beat them during my group stages. none of my decks are even tiered: MechLock (i made my own), Neira Worgen OTK mixed with Patron, and my own hunter deck (AdmiralAckbar with a few changes since the day i posted on TL).

Nope. They just said mid-June. A lot of people are guessing it may be tomorrow, when Blizzard often has its server maintenance days.

There are no new cards for your collection in Tavern Brawl. They might give you premade decks for a Tavern Brawl week, though, and these decks could contain cards that we would never otherwise be able to use (cards from adventures, for instance). You could only use them in Tavern Brawls, though, not other play modes. And I assume everyone would have access to them equally.

I'm downloading the patch. Let's see if it is live
edit: Not live, but the empty bar below arena now has an animated border. Or did it have that already before?
edit2: the new cardback features are live, though
|
apparently 5pm CEST tomorrow for EU release. that's what a friend of mine who is more active in HS than me atm said, don't know where he got his info from.
|

/Edit: I'm playing EU
|
no one more hour. Last time I checked I swear it was CEST. Now its CET 
|
Why was I even excited for this? Fucking boring gamemode that is even more luck based than the actual game. How about some tournament game mode instead next time.....
|
Yeah, it's not decks with random restrictions, it's just boring shit premade decks one against each other, wp blizzard.
|
What is the number at the top of the screen when you are about to start the game?
And I really hope that blizzard adds some rewards for this. It becomes pretty boring after first couple of games.

Well, this week certainly sucks ass, especially if you are Rag. And how on Earth did I get 3 brawls from Nef's hero power?
Anyway, I'll wait for more tavern brawls to make a verdict. We don't know what is yet to come.
|
It's live in EU.
And I liked it. Sure, you can't change the decks and there's limited randomness, and Nefarian is a bit OP...but we get to play with new OP cards and hero powers. I expect later brawls will have more staying power than this one, but I still thought this one was plenty fun. I'll be playing as much of this as I will the boring ol' ladder over the next few days, I suspect, particularly if I get any quests that aren't tied to winning as a given class.
