Quote from DaxxarriGet ready to deck the brawls on December 16th, when the Gift Exchange Tavern Brawl arrives! In the all-new Gift Exchange Tavern Brawl, Greatfather Winter will be dropping presents onto the snowy streets of Stormwind. Smash open the presents to get to the surprise inside—a 1-mana card that Discovers a card of your opponent’s class. You’ll get a gift each time you break open your opponent's present . . . or you can be a real grinch and bash open a present on your side of the board to Discover a card of your own class!
Catch the holiday spirit and join in on the upcoming Gift Exchange Tavern Brawl! Win a match, and you’ll receive a pine-scented*, elf-approved Winter Veil Wreath card back to add to your collection.
We hope your holiday is warm and happy, and we’ll see you in the Tavern!
* Not actually pine scented, unless you happen to have a scratch-n-sniff monitor**.
**Scratch-n-sniff monitor not included with this Tavern Brawl.
Pleasant Feast of Winterveil..
Just fck it, way to go Hearthstone community. Blizzard releases free shit like this Tavern Brawl (which is actually really good in my opinion) and everybody goes straight to the forum to complain that they're greedy assholes.
Nice card back!
Look at all these people crying. Grow up
This complaining is pathetic, way to make gamers look like big babies.
Wanted a pack but meh I'll deal.
"Where's my free stuff?!"
Voting for Bernie? :^)
I'm liking this new cardback that I can celebrate Christmas with. More valuable to me than 40 dust. I like that Blizz changes things up sometimes
I knew buying a scratch n sniff monitor would pay off eventually
Would giving the card back PLUS the usual free pack really set blizzard back that much? Come on, it's Christmas!
Seriously, to everybody complaining about this brawl:
Shut up
I already played over 20 games in this brawl and I think it's one of the best. The interaction with the crates is awesome, and you only need a few cards that work really good with the crates, like Power overwelming, Crazed Alchemist, Void Terror, Poison Seeds or any card that can buff it's attack.
Pack would be more valuable than a shitty back.
Well, at least this brawl turns Confuse into an more than reasonable card.
In the spirit of the holidays, I urge everyone who wins this tavern brawl to play 3 more matches and concede for those folks that might not have the cards to make the decks for this!
Happy Feast of Winterveil!
I didn't think a brawl could suck more than the turn-1-1-mana-Dr-Balanced clown fest. Then this came, bringing together the sucktitude of Randomonium and of the Flamewaker-fest one for good measure.
Plus no pack and the giant dump taken on EU.
Wow, Blizzard sure knows how to spit in their players' faces.
Don't think I'll be playing this Tavern Brawl again, got the cardback and just didn't enjoy this one.
at least the card back could be somehow cooler.. -.-
The reason we don't get a pack it's because it would be too confusing for new players
Card pack or riot
Its actually 49.99 $ but yeah, Buck Flizzard
