Overview
This Tavern Brawl sees players doing battle with custom decks composed of 10 cards chosen by the player, with only 1 copy of each card allowed. At the start of the game, both players mulligan The mulligan stage The mulligan or card selection stage occurs at the very start of each match. Each player is shown their randomly selected starting hand, and given the option to redraw as many of as normal, but at the start of each turn instead of drawing a card, the player will instead Discover Discover in action Discover is an ability that allows the player to choose from three different pseudo-randomly selected cards, with the chosen option generated and added to their hand. Some Discover effects offer random Hero a card from three options matching cards currently in their deck. This Discover does not remove the card from the player`s deck, but instead places a copy into their hand.
Card draw effects do not operate normally during this Brawl: instead of drawing a card from the deck, the player has a copy of Peruse The subject of this article is part of the Tavern Brawl game mode. Peruse Set: Tavern Brawl Type: Spell Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Discover a card from your deck.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] added to their hand. (This is technically considered card draw but does not come from the deck.) This 1 mana spell can then be used to Discover a card in the same way that players gain new cards at the start of each turn. Put into hand Put into hand effects are abilities which draw specific cards from the player s deck and place them into their hand. Unlike card draw effects, put into hand effects require specific card types, and often have effects similarly generate copies of Peruse.
The combination of these special rules means the player is unable to draw cards normally, but the contents of the deck can still be altered through put into battlefield Put into battlefield effects are abilities which puts cards from the player s deck or hand directly into the battlefield. They may affect minions or spells, and may require a specific type or sub-type of card. , shuffle into deck, and replace Replace is an ability which replaces a card or Hero Power with another, without destroying, discarding or removing the original card in the process.

- The small deck size makes the mulligan The mulligan stage The mulligan or card selection stage occurs at the very start of each match. Each player is shown their randomly selected starting hand, and given the option to redraw as many of especially potent. Because cards rejected during the mulligan process are not added back into the pool for possible replacements, it is possible to strongly control which cards will be included in your starting hand.

While not stated in card text, the randomness of the card s placement is achieved through subsequently shuffling the entire deck. additional copies of cards into your deck (such as through Jade Idol Jade Idol Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Spell Class: Druid Rarity: Rare Cost: 1 Abilities: Choose One, Copy, Generate, Shuffle into deck, Summon Choose One - Summon a Jade Golem; or Shuffle 3 copies or Weasel Tunneler Weasel Tunneler Set: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Type: Minion Subtype: Beast Rarity: Epic Cost: 1 Attack: 1 Health: 1 Abilities: Deathrattle, Shuffle into deck Deathrattle: Shuffle this minion into your opponent s deck.He s the reason the ) will expand the player`s Discover pool and increase the chance of that card being Discovered.
