Hearthstone introduces limited-time co-op tavern brawl

Co-op hasn’t been one of Hearthstone’s strong suits — or even in existence — since the PvP card battler launched. However, this week Blizzard is experimenting with a co-op tavern brawl for the first time that has pairs of friends taking on the Gearmaster Mechazod.

So how does co-op work in Hearthstone? At least in this tavern brawl, the enemy will move back and forth between two players’ boards, giving each gamer a chance to strike out at the foe. Blizzard is giving each player a preset deck to use for the fight and promises that, win or lose, all participants will walk away with a tavern brawl card pack.

Is this a sign that Blizzard is thinking about adding more co-op activities in the future? Do you think that it will add much to the Hearthstone experience?
