It's Christmas in February - The Gift Exchange Brawl Has Returned This Week!
Great Father is dropping crates on the battlefield! Get a gift each time you smash your opponent's crate... or your own!
Trivia
- This is the second time we've seen this brawl.
- Gift Exchange first debuted on December 14, 2015.
- There was a lot of community outrage when Blizzard didn't activate this for Holiday 2016, that's why we're getting it in February.
- This was the first brawl that rewarded a card back for it's reward and at this time, one of two.
- If you have already obtained this brawl's card back from last time, you will earn a card pack instead.
How it Works
- Build a custom deck using cards from your own collection.
- At the start of your turn, provided there is not a Winter's Veil Gift on your side of the field, Greatfather Winter will drop one off.
- Destroying a Gift will give you a Stolen Winter's Veil Gift.
- Stolen Winter's Veil Gift allows you to Discover a card from the class of the player the originating Gift minion came from.
- You are only able to receive cards which initially cost at least 5 mana.
- The cost of the card is reduced by 5 mana.
- You are unable to Discover weapons.
- If you obtain a Stolen Gift through a card like Mind Vision, it will only pull cards from the neutral set.
- You have a chance of seeing Hardpacked Snowballs in the Discover mechanic.
Cool Interactions
Share yours in the comments!
- Crazed Alchemist allows you to trigger gifts on your side of the field easily.
- Doomsayer clears the board after your gift is dropped which could easily result in two Stolen Gifts if opponent passes.
- Priests could Divine Spirit + Inner Fire a gift on their side of the field for a nice present to the face - if it survives a full turn!
- Mages love Flamewaker! Plenty of fun thanks to the Stolen Gift spells.
- Warlocks could drop a Void Terror after using Power Overwhelming on a gift.

Reward
If you don't already have it, this week's reward is the awesome Winterveil card back! If you already have it, then you'll get a classic card pack.
Feast of Winter Veil
Cool card
My Free-to-Play account would like the pack better than the card back.
Blizzard should give both.
Don't give any arguments and just call everyone who doesn't agree with you salty.
Best way to win and end any discussion on the internet. #carcasmoff
Have a good life sir.
My Free-to-Play me is angry with you.
The paying customer me agrees with you
Shadow Word: Horror is the most fun I've ever had on turn 3 w/ coin. Keeps your opponent from getting a shot at a gift on your side during their turn 4, too.
Also, great brawl for Inner Fire and Divine Favor combo.
Divine Spirit... FM...
Divine Favor?

Kooky Chemist this is your time to shine!
Well, a Gift is a Gift.
I wish this became a thing also for the other old Cardbacks.
Maybe a double stage reward too (first victory: pack, second victory: cardback).
All this would give more value to the same content (brawl and cardbacks), without any further effort by Team5.
This brawl can take forever
Oh no, I wanted 40 dusts, not a useless card pack
RNG Brawls are only worth it for card packs. Not playing this week
Im helping :D
Good compensation for January's meh card back for those who don't have this one I guess.
i hope this isnt the start of a trend of "reprinting" card backs i like the fact that they are somewhat exclusive
