Free Arena Runs & Knights of the Frozen Throne Card Packs During The Frost Festival
According to data in today's Hearthstone update, we're going to see some freebies for taking part in the upcoming Frost Festival.
- The Frost Festival will last at least 3 weeks long according to game files.
- Each week during the festival you will get a free arena run.
- Each week you will be able to earn a Frozen Throne card pack if you play 3 arena games.
- Additionally, everyone starts each run with a free win. Yay extra rewards!
This is looking like a pretty cool event, Blizzard =)

Or you can train for arena since its free =) Watch some pros drafting and playing arena, use heartharena to make your draft and then go for it =) You only learn arena by practising it.
Loving these features, keep it up!

Year of the Shaman
Was about time Hearthstone got some decent competition
So many people (F2P mainly) complaining about "greedy move by Blizzard to force me to spend my hardly earned gold in that stinky bad game mode". I'm like O_O.
1) You need only 3 wins to break even (2 actually, considering you start with a win).
2) Sure arena take some practice, but after a while, even with an average of 5-6 wins the profit is huge, on average it's like paying packs 50 gold or less. And if you are really good (infinity player) it's like getting packs for free
You only need to "PLAY" 3 games in order to get the reward meaning that no matter what (even if you go 0-3) you are getting 3 packs for free + the arena rewards which is what makes this such a great event. I don't think you got that you only had to play :).
What happened to Blizz? They are giving so many free things!
Maybe they understand this rule: "respect your customers and make them happy, and they will respect you and give you money".
Gwent happend.
This event is great, thanks to Gwent and ESL. But if these free arena runs come before the expansion's release, will the pack rewards (not event rewards, normal arena reward packs) be ungoro or frozen throne?
The first pack you get from Arena rewards is always the most recently released expansion. So if these runs come before the expansion goes live, it'll be an ungoro pack.
The quest rewards will be new packs we can't open until the expansion, but the arena rewards themselves will be normal standard packs. Ungoro first, and the possibility of other standard packs if you get enough wins to get more than one pack.
It might be possible to delay the arena run until the expansion launches, but it will most likely take up a quest slot, and it's unclear whether or not we can save multiple free arena runs. Saving at least the final run seems quite possible.
I have only ever received the standard new account arena run, and a free arena run on Asia server with three free packs. I just used the free arena run when I got it, so I have no experience of being able to save them or not.
...and question like, "Will it Un'Goro or Frozen Throne pack?" Comes :)
It has nothing to do with the regular arena reward, it's the side event QUEST.
