Hearthstoneis getting a brand new Brawl mode with much better rewards --012 Archivesthe stakes are much higher.

Heroic Brawl is coming to Hearthstonesoon, taking the place of Tavern Brawl for one week only. It's a more competitive Brawl that forces players to lock in a single deck from their existing cards and battle other Heroic Brawlers until they lose three times. The more wins that players rack up before they get knocked out, the better the rewards they'll receive (12 wins is the maximum).

The Heroic Brawl is very similar to Hearthstone's Arena mode, except those better rewards don't come cheap: Heroic Brawl entry is $9.99 or 1,000 gold while Arena entry is $1.99 or 150 gold.

Heroic Brawl is not really designed for inexperienced players, as explained in a video by Hearthstonedesigners Dan Emmons and Pat Nagle.

"This Brawl is specifically meant to target players who want something a little bit more competitive -- a more competitive experience," Emmons said. "The brawl might not be for everybody this week, and that's ok I think."

If players aren't interested in shelling out 10 bucks or 1,000 gold to enter, they can always check out their favorite players on Twitch or watch matches in the game's spectator mode.

Blizzard did not specify exactly when Heroic Brawl will be out, but expect it either this Tuesday or next Tuesday when new Tavern Brawls drop.
