Welcome everyone to another Touchstone issue, our weekly column about all things Hearthstone [Free]. This has been an eventful week but with only two topics dominating the conversation; the continuous stream of Gagdetzan reveals and the first Heroic Tavern Brawl. Since everyone has been talking about these two topics, there aren't that many news stories to talk about that don't simply repeat the same information. However, there are some fun and informative videos as the pros continue to talk about the new expansion and all the revealed cards. Not too long to go now before we see a (hopefully) new meta. The signs are positive, but we haven't yet seen all the cards. Fingers crossed that deckbuilding will be fun again.

 
 
Heroic Brawl Finally Made Its Debut After waiting a few weeks for it, we finally got to see Heroic Brawl in action this week. Instead of the usual fun brawl, we got the high-stakes Heroic Tavern Brawl that gave the game a very competitive feel for at least a few days. As we wrote in our story, the Heroic Brawl cost 1000 gold or $9.99 to enter and came with a warning that the mode was for strong players with good collections. As Blizzard had already told us, the mode was all about trying to get to 12 wins before losing three times. The rewards are fantastic if you do over 8 wins but pretty mediocre below that. However, nothing can make up for the tension created by knowing your next move might be the deciding one.
