Hearthstone Tri-deck Brawl
A mode for hearthstone where decks are played sequentially instead of shuffled, but players get to build three concurrent decks and choose which they draw from.
Details:
- During deck construction players decide the sequence in which cards will be drawn from 1 to 30, creating an entirely predictable and scripted deck.
- Players enter the game with three scripted decks that run simultaneously.
- This helps counteract success being determined by the luck of how well their script happens to perform against whatever their randomly selected opponent’s script ends up being (like face rush being consistently crushed by control)
- Each time a player is prompted to draw a card, they are presented with the sequentially scripted card from each of the three decks (three choices) and pick one. The others are discarded.
- In this way the player is still limited to 30 cards for the gameplay duration, but has the strategic mobility to switch up their deck’s play style along three potential scripts to respond to what's happening on the field.
- This gives players more agency over how the game plays out, greater potential to tap into synergies during deck building, and greater flexibility and skill expression during play, deciding how to curate their hand and respond to the game state.
