Hearthstone Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl Decks: 6-0 Codes and Full Lists

Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks are already earning six-win runs in Hearthstone’s October 2026 event. Two players have shared complete Priest/Warlock card lists, and another has posted a 6–0 C’Thun import code. We’ve put the full 30-card lists here so you can build a deck without trying to read tiny screenshots.

The first build is aimed at players without an expensive C’Thun collection. The second includes Mastermind Yogg-Saron, while the third code needs the Legendaries its creator opened. These are player-reported results from the current event, not guaranteed win rates.

Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks: budget or Legendary build?

Start with the budget Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks if you didn’t pre-purchase the expansion. Hearthstone gives everyone temporary copies of all Reign of the Black Empire Common and Rare cards during this event, but Epics and Legendaries must come from your own collection. The deck is locked after entering a run, so check for missing cards first.

Budget Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks: 30-card Priest/Warlock list

A player reported going 6–0 with this Priest/Warlock deck using mostly free Trial Cards. The list runs small Shadow spells, Crystalline Golem, Gargantuan Slitherer and two Titanic Thrashers. They said the two C’Thun-support slots could be improved without owning C’Thun.

Budget 6–0 import code:

With these Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks, don’t spend the first few turns sitting on expensive threats. Mulligan for low-cost cards and keep your board from falling too far behind. Titanic Thrasher and Gargantuan Slitherer provide pressure later, after your cheaper plays have traded with the opponent’s early minions.

Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks with Mastermind Yogg-Saron

A second player-submitted build reached six wins with a similar Priest/Warlock base, but includes Mastermind Yogg-Saron. This version has two Blasphemies and one Titanic Thrasher. If Yogg-Saron is missing from your collection, the budget version is easier to use as written.

Yogg-Saron build import code:

The 30-card list above follows the player submission. Importing the code is the easiest way to match card names, especially where client localisation changes the displayed names. Both lists are from the current Reign of the Black Empire Brawl, not older pre-release events.

C’Thun Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks: another reported 6–0 code

If you own C’Thun, a third player reported going 6–0 with Priest/Warlock Shadow cards, board control and a C’Thun finish. Their posted code is below. It is a complete import string, but it isn’t a free-card deck: you need the missing higher-rarity cards in your collection.

C’Thun 6–0 player deck code:

The appeal of C’Thun Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks is their extra finisher, not a different entry price. The main Brawl still ends after six wins or three losses. Don’t pay to enter until the import screen shows a complete, legal deck; the temporary Trial Cards only cover Common and Rare cards.

How to import Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks

1. Copy the full import code for the build you want.
2. Open Hearthstone’s Pre-Release Tavern Brawl and select the Priest/Warlock class combination.
3. Create a deck and accept the code import from your clipboard.
4. Check the deck for missing cards and substitute eligible Reign of the Black Empire cards if necessary.
5. Save the completed deck before entering your run.

The Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks use cards from Reign of the Black Empire only. If your copied deck shows missing Legendaries, the client isn’t broken; your collection simply doesn’t contain them. Every account receives one free run, and repeat attempts cost two Tavern Tickets, 300 Gold or 400 Runestones.

Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks: six-win and 6–0 rewards

Finishing a run with six wins completes the Pre-Release Champion Feat and awards two Tavern Tickets plus one Reign of the Black Empire pack, on top of normal run rewards. Going 6–0 completes the Pro Feat as well, giving the Godlike Brawler card back and two more Tavern Tickets. Six wins with one or two losses does not earn the undefeated card back.

If you need tickets for another attempt, Hearthstone Community Days has two free Tavern Tickets available through Twitch Drops until October 17. Our Pre-Release Brawl rewards guide has the complete table for zero through six wins. The event closes October 20.

These Black Empire Pre-Release Brawl decks give you complete lists and working-format codes to start with, but your results will still depend on opponents, opening hands and decisions during the run. Copy the build you actually have cards for rather than paying for a run with an incomplete import.
