Overview
This Brawl sees players drawing cards entirely on curve, with a 1-mana card drawn on turn 1, a 2-mana card drawn on turn 2, and so on. Players are able to create their own decks, using any class.
Notes
- Using
Wild Growth or other ramp cards does not make the cost of the drawn card equal the mana you have. The card drawn is based on the turn number rather than the amount of mana available to the player. The reversed effect occurs when you lose Mana Crystals, e.g. due to the Deathrattle of 
Darnassus Aspirant. - The on-curve rule only applies to the first card drawn each turn. Draw effects (e.g. Loot Hoarder) and remove from deck (e.g.
Fel Reaver) can select any card from the deck. - Normal draw rules apply beyond turn 10, or if the deck lacks an appropriate on-curve draw on a given turn.
Strategy
This Brawl is a good opportunity for playing a Druid deck using Astral Communion. The deck would contain high mana cost cards with one copy of 
Zombie Chow, 
Annoy-o-Tron, Acolyte of Pain and Astral Communion respectively played turn one up to turn four. While you will empty your hand by playing Astral Communion, make sure that the Acolyte of Pain draws a card after you played Astral Communion. This way you are able to play a high mana cost card right away.
Lore
This Brawl is apparently administrated by Optimotron, a prototype clockwork card dealer created by the gnomes of Tinker Town. While Optimotron is original to Hearthstone, the gnomish quarter of Tinker Town is a longstanding part of Warcraft lore.
This section uses content from Wowpedia.- Tinker Town is the gnome quarter of Ironforge.
- Originally, Tinker Town was just a small quarter of the city for gnomes visiting from Gnomeregan to use. When their clockwork city of Gnomeregan fell, it became the center of the gnomish court in exile (the Gnomeregan Exiles). Prior to the partial retaking of Gnomeregan, High Tinker Mekkatorque could be found here, along with his closest advisers. It is also home to a number of Alchemy and Engineering trainers, as well as the entrance to the famed Deeprun Tram.
