Raise Your Wrenches for the Mechanical Inn-vitational!

Raise Your Wrenches for the Mechanical Inn-vitational!

Arch-Villain Rafaam has sent Blastmaster Boom back to the drawing board, and now that he’s finished perfecting his pet projects, the League of E.V.I.L. is in desperate need of new test subjects. Whoever is most eager to impress during the upcoming Mechanical Inn-vitational could even find themselves promoted to E.V.I.L. Employee of the Month!

Blastmaster Boom has cooked up an exciting new format to test the mettle of these would-be top employees. Participants will be divided into teams of two players, and to prove their adeptness to Blastmaster Boom, they will initially craft decks using only the following:

  • The updated cards from the latest Hearthstone 14.4 update.
  • 20 Classic card packs
  • 20 The Witchwood card packs
  • 20 The Boomsday Project card packs
  • 20 Rastakhan’s Rumble card packs
  • 40 Rise of Shadows card packs
  • 5,000 gold

The Mechanical Inn-vitational will feature competitors from North America playing live on set against teams from around the world. Participants won't be able to earn gold through Arena, or from Ranked play wins or daily quests. Teams who secure a victory will earn a point (which they can spend on perks later in the tournament), and one set of additional packs, with the choices being:

  • 6 Rise of Shadows packs OR
  • 9 The Witchwood packs OR
  • 9 The Boomsday Project packs OR
  • 9 Rastakhan's Rumble packs

To ensure a fair fight, all competitors will be given the same additional variety of packs that the on-stream teams open after they win a match. Teams will be able to modify one deck between each game, and before the finals, earned points can be redeemed for the following perks.

  • Disenchant a card from either of your opponent’s decks per point earned. Your opponent has to replace it with a different card.
  • Spend a point to open a set of packs of your choosing. Teams will choose from any set available from previous rounds.
  • If a team has earned the maximum of 4 points, they can redeem them all to… well, you’ll just have to see!

Participating Lackeys

In order to keep these League of E.V.I.L. lackeys from blowing each other up ahead of time, we’re going to keep their identities a secret for now. But you can expect to see competitors from the Commonwealth of Independent States, Europe, North America, and South Korea regions.
