Hearthstone - tavern brawl

I've been playing some more Hearthstone recently - particularly at the weekend.  This is primarily a result of a new play mode that Blizzard recently introduced.  Tavern Brawl.

Tavern Brawl is a mode that is only available at the weekend but does a really good job of mixing up the game.  Mechanically, Tavern Brawl changes gameplay by introducing one key change to the way the game plays.  Each week has a different change and so far, there has been a really good mix of changes.  One week, they gave you custom built decks where, other than a couple of spells, the entire deck was comprised of portals which gave you a random minion but with a reduced casting cost.  Another week, the game started you off with 10 mana instead of having to build up your mana round by round.  As you can imagine, with just basic cards, I got owned pretty badly during that brawl by people who had access to every high cost card in the game!

All in all, I have to give credit to Blizzard.  They have done a really good job of giving you different ways to play the game and keep your interest up.
