For the Tavern Brawl of the same name, see Doom in the Tomb (Tavern Brawl).

Doom in the Tomb is a Hearthstone event lasting from October 8th to October 30th, 2019.[1] Based on previous years' Hallow's End event, Doom in the Tomb loosely ties into the ongoing narrative of the Year of the Dragon and features new Tavern Brawls, legendary quests rewarding gold and card packs, and temporary event versions of 23 Wild format cards added to Standard format and given out for free.

The Wild event cards added during the event lasted beyond the event's time and were available until Hearthstone's next major content patch, which was on December 5, 2019.[2]

The official patch notes announcement can be found here.

Trailer
Rafaam: AHAHAHAHA!
Reno: Not so fast riff-raff, the treasure is mine!
Rafaam: That's what you think, but I'll have to decline.
(lighting strikes)
Headless Horseman: Your endless prattling fills me with gloom. It's time you both met your doom in the tomb! HAHAHAHA! Now I'll unleash powers most wild! Terrors return, no longer exiled.
Rafaam: No rhymes can bring me grief. Not I, the world's greatest thief!
Reno: Onwards for glory, and things to... explore-y?
Headless Horseman: You're too late dear heroes, the Horseman is here. It's Hallow's End, and the dark night draws near!
Rafaam: This Horseman seems so medieval. I'll have to show him TRUE EVIL!
Reno: You can't win with a plan so feeble! The Explorers won't let you, you... weeble? Hmm.
Headless Horseman: The night is still young, so let us proceed! You'll be no match for my trusty death steeds! Round and round your minions will spin. Don't lose your head, and you just might win! HAHAHAHA! On Hallow's End, great powers are mine. In the Arena, two classes now combine! You'll need more than that to defeat us tonight, so pick your bundle and prepare for a fight.
Rafaam: Cast a hex!
Reno: Defeat with a flex!
Headless Horseman: If that's not enough, then play another round. Quests and rewards and challenges abound! Once the sun rises, my terrible night is done. Good luck heroes, I hope you have fun!
Rafaam: Did he call me... a HERO?!
Reno: I think he said "zero" - ho, yes!

Legends have told of dangers lurking within the Haunted Temple of Uldum and the grand ancient treasures they conceal. Of course, “treasure” was all anyone had to mention to get Reno and Rafaam on board, and now their sights are set on acquiring the temple’s powerful artifacts for their own campaigns!
It won’t be an easy task, though. While our Heroes and Villains battle to push deeper through the Haunted Temple, the Headless Horseman has resorted to a nefarious contingency and opened a sealed sarcophagus full of WILD terrors. Now it will be up to you to aid the conquests of good, or E.V.I.L, in a race to uncover the tomb’s precious secrets and escape the doom in the tomb!
