Hearthstone is on here: http://www.blizzgc.com/
And in the original announcement back in April:
That said, it's hard to explain just how large a number 500 demo stations is. It's very likely they have a new product announcement beyond even just content updates.
Back in 2011, EA - at the time a 10,000 person company with 8+ games on the showfloor including a 64 player Battlefield 3 setup and a 36 player SWTOR setup - only had 350 demo stations. This was considered abnormally large enough for a company their size to put out a special press release.
While I don't necessarely disagree with you there are very strong similarities with Buzzard/UTH Hunter in that you couldn't flood the board or the combo will kill you (now a Berserker will otk you) and if you don't pressure enough they just kill you over time (or now they have plenty of time to find double combo). And since they nerved UTH Hunter I would expect them to ultimately do the same with Patron Warrior.

If I can't hear a gnome saying put this apple on your head, why am I even playing this game at all.
Blizzard's cycles seemed to have all converged this year. The time is right for new WoW, Diablo, and Hearthstone expansions. Add to that the fact that Overwatch and Legacy of the Void need even more attention as they near beta/release, and the release cycle the Heroes team wants to maintain, and Blizzard has 6 properties they have to manage between Gamescom and Blizzcon. I would assume that they want to get one of the big two announcements- D3 expac or WoW expac- out of the way at Gamescom so they don't have 2 brand new titles fighting for attention at Blizzcon. A hearthstone expac reveal at Gamescom followed by a lot of card spoilers + design deep dive and a tease at the next adventure we'll get next year at Blizzcon seems appropriate too.
Got Tundra as well followed by the Beast :lol
You can be any of the classes; the decks are pre-built for each. It's all class spells and Webspinners.
Cheers! Sounds better than banana brawl at least
I'd always figured there'd be an Icecrown adventure if it's not the next one, it'd be awesome.
2 games in a row I've got like 3 of them, and my opponent got Gahzrilla.
Well, just drew 3 spinners and whirlwind on first hand so this might be fun. Really enjoying the brawl though, enough randomness but not broken.

I like it this week
I think everyone should be playing either Warlock or Mage in this Tavern Brawl.
Warlock for the card draw hero power to zerg your opponent and Mage for the hero power and change to get stuff like Blizzard/Flamestrike.
Classes with easy way to deal with the 1 health minions are generally good in this like Druid.

Mage is probably the best because even their weak spells like Arcane Explosion and Arcane Missiles are pretty good in this format. Warlock has a chance to get stuff like Sense Demons or Sac Pact which are total dead cards.

Really liking this brawl so far. Yeah it's very heavily RNG but still having a lot of fun with it.
This is mostly what I wanted out of brawl mode anyway. Just a really unique and different experience.
It's closed on NA for another 40 min.
Edit: Really liking Priest so far for the Brawl. Managed to get a Shadowform off early in one game which turned out to be huge.

Ah, okay thanks. Thought it was just buggy on my end.

Fuck Captain's Parrot.
Should be the flavor text for webspinner.
Yeah, I had a game where I got THREE Core Hounds off my first 5 Webspinners. I lost, obviously.
After a loosing streak of 5 I finally got my win and the pack. It had a legendary in it but it was Cairne. Still unsure if I should dust him. I quite like him even if he isn't that good.
Don't know what to think about this brawl. While it shakes things more up than the last one it is so much RNG dependent.

Difference being the UTH + buzzard combo was 5 mana. Patron combo requires small attack minions or double whirlwind effect. Frothing requires a lot of minions and time to setup but is very strong or course. Taunt walls do help.

Does hunter get UTH?
Since spells are random, they could.
