:loudspeaker: [Clarification] Having your ticket refunded doesn’t mean that you will restart your run for free, but rather you get 2 free tickets added to your account.


Hello everyone,

Our philosophy with Pre‑Release Tavern Brawl is to give players an early opportunity to experiment with upcoming expansion cards, while still keeping the format inclusive by allowing cards from the previous expansion.
We’ve noticed that Across the Timeways cards aren’t seeing as much play as we would want. To encourage more fun and experimentation with the new set, we’re banning all Legendary Quests for each class, along with Elise the Navigator. Alternate Reality will remain disabled for this Pre‑Release due to a bug, but will be fixed in an upcoming hotfix.

We’ll be carrying forward the lessons learned here and applying them to future Tavern Brawls to ensure a smoother, more engaging experience.

[Update] These cards are now banned

Thank you for your feedback and continued support,

Hearthstone Dev Team


Note: players with a banned card in their deck can retire their run; its cost will be refunded.

A deck with a banned card will have that card highlighted in a red hue.

To Retire, please go to your Brawl deck and hover over the deck header in the top right corner.

That’s normal, Darlequin. Having your ticket refunded doesn’t mean that you will restart your run for free. You will get 2 free tickets added to your account, and use them for your next run. :slight_smile:
