Winter Veil Comes to Hearthstone
As we previously datamined, Hearthstone is having a Winter Veil event! Blizzard has posted two blog posts about it so far, announcing the gameboard changes and a special classic back deal where you get 10 free packs if you purchase a bundle of 40 or more.
Official details can be found below. Don't forget, there's also going to be a special Winter Veil Tavern Brawl, which rewards a cardback. Hopefully we'll have more info on that real soon (tomorrow?).
Quote from BlizzardGreatfather Winter and his billowing cloak have cast the chilly weather of Winter Veil over the Hearthstone tavern. Now that the ice and snow have arrived, it’s a great time to grab a steaming mug of something tasty, wrap up in a warm blanket, and cozy up to the fire for a few fun rounds of Hearthstone!Fluffy snow has settled on the eaves and gables of Stormwind and ice over Orgrimmar. During Winter Veil, from the 9th of December through the 6th of January, you’ll get to see each game board decked out in its holiday best. Every Hearthstone hero has gotten into the spirit of the season, and each one will sport a new jolly holiday Greetings emote!
That’s not all, so keep your eyes peeled for more Winter Veil festivities to come!
Classic Packs Deal
Make sure you buy this deal on or after December 9th in your server's region (until the 6th of January) to ensure its active. Players in the Americas, for safety, wait until it is announced on the official blog, or after it hits midnight on the west coast.
Update: It looks like the 40 packs purchase in-game, and 60, will change to say 50 and 70 respectively when the bonus is active.
Quote from BlizzardWinter Veil has just begun and it’s full of holiday treats! Speaking of treats, there’s no better time to treat yourself to a gift of your own!
While the Winter Veil celebration is happening in Hearthstone from December 9th through January 6th, Greatfather Winter will give you 10 free Classic Hearthstone packs when you purchase a bundle of 40 Classic Hearthstone packs or more!
Whether you’re an experienced veteran or you’ve just discovered Hearthstone, this is a great opportunity to fill in the gaps of your Classic card collection, or grab some Arcane Dust to craft the cards you really want for Winter Veil!
We hope your holiday is warm, joyous, and filled with Hearthstone fun. Happy Winter Veil!

Posted Dec 10, 2015 (Explorers)So i asked the Support and they told me that there is no chance to get the 10 packs, because my purchase was too many days before the Promotion started. However, they said that in some cases they are able to help the people with their request regarding the promotion. I don't know if they just told me that to sound nice, but if it is true you guys can try to ask for it. Nothing to loss :)

Posted Dec 9, 2015 (Explorers)Pretty sweet. It would have been better if you get the bonus for any kind of packs, but it's still great. Btw, Blizzard, do remember we also celebrate spring, summer and autumn. And Valentine's Day, Easter, and all the rest of the national and religious holidays in all countries and religions. Just thought I'd mention it :P

Posted Dec 9, 2015 (Explorers)It seems inevitable that they'll have to reduce the cost of past Adventures to allow new players to more easily acquire a competitive collection.

Posted Dec 9, 2015 (Explorers)I just wish they included all expansions in that deal :c I Guess they want people to catch up in classic cards, since most people these days only buy TGT and GvG.

Posted Dec 9, 2015 (Explorers)Some people doesnt have money to expend in hs you know. They have to play like, a lot of Arena and sometimes it is not enought. Ten free packs, without paying, for once in Christmas would have helped a lot.

Posted Dec 9, 2015 (Explorers)I love how blizzard used big font for "get the 10 classic packs", then MASSIVE "FREE" and finally slapped a small disclaimer underneath despite it being the most important one. Bravo.
I expected nothing less from them.

Posted Dec 9, 2015 (Explorers)Yeah, on the PC Client at least you can buy 1, 2, 7, 15, 40 and 60. Though I wish they'd included TGT and GvG into that deal as well :c
