Greetings!
The last couple of weeks have been difficult for producing reports, as the turnaround was too fast between the introduction of Renathal and a major balance patch on back to back weeks. Furthermore, The Great Dark Beyond introduces a first time event: Pre-Launch Tavern Brawl.
This presents a couple of challenges. First, it means that at the launch of patch 31.0, players will already be able to play with new cards, even in the context of a different format. Second, cards from the new expansion are not completely accessible. Buying a pre-order bundle will likely net you the rare and common cards of the expansion, but finding specific epics and legendaries will involve some luck. This makes preparing decks for the event more challenging.
We’ve decided to address both issues.
First, the Comprehensive Preview of The Great Dark Beyond will be released earlier than usual, next Monday on October 28th, a day before the launch of the Tavern Brawl. We’ve pushed the work on the article earlier so you can read about the expansion before you get to play with the new cards.
Second, we will be publishing a unique theorycrafting article containing decks for the Pre-Release Tavern Brawl. These decks will be built without epics or legendaries from the new expansion, many focusing on synergies from the Core, Event, Whizbang and Perils sets. Some of them will also cater to players who may not purchase pre-order bundles but want to head into the brawl with a strong deck to compete with by running no expansion cards at all. The article will be out a few hours before the launch of the Tavern Brawl, on October 29th.
A massive ‘The Great Dark Beyond’ theorycrafting article will be published normally before the expansion’s launch.
We’ve been working around the clock to get this content prepared on time. Therefore, we’re discontinuing Data Reaper Reports for Perils in Paradise.
Mark the dates down and remember the #1 source for your Tavern Brawl needs.
See you soon.
