The Frost Lord Speaks! Come Chill at the Frost Festival
Our lord of Frost greatly despises Ragnaros and has a much cooler party planned for us. Review the messages from our frosty friend below.
- The event lasts for three weeks.
- Every week you will get a free arena run and a quest which gives you 1 Frozen Throne card pack.
- Things have kicked off with this Ahune's Superior Brawl!
- Don't forget to check out the Ice Cream Citadel if you're going to be around San Diego Comic-con.
- Ice Cream Citadel shirts are available in the Blizzard Gear Store.
Quote from AhuneI, FROST LORD AHUNE HAVE COME TO SAVE YOU FROM RAGNAROS’ TERRIBLE MIDSUMMER FIRE FESTIVAL! I WILL REPLACE IT WITH A MUCH COOLER PARTY!
FROST THINGS FROST, LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS FIRE FESTIVAL THING.
FIRE IN SUMMER? THAT’S SNOOOOW CLEVER, RAGNAROS. QUESTION: DO YOU NEED MORE FIRE DURING A HEAT WAVE? ANSWER: NO, BECAUSE FIRE IS FOR LOSERS. FIRE IS ALSO A TERRIBLE PARTY DECORATION. YOUR HOUSE BURNS DOWN WHEN YOU DECORATE WITH FIRE. WHICH IS DUMB. LIKE RAGNAROS.LET’S TALK FROST FESTIVAL!
THE FROST FESTIVAL IS THE COOLEST PARTY OF ALL TIME, AND I’VE GOT SOME GREAT STUFF SLEETED FOR YOU.
DECORATIONS! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT TAVERN IS A CHILL PLACE TO HANG OUT, SO I WILL MAKE IT SPARKLE WITH FROST.
WHEN YOU BREAK THE ICE YOUR OPPONENT SHOULD KNOW HOW COOL YOU ARE, SO YOUR EMOTES WILL NOW SPORT SOME SNOWFLAKES FROM ME. THIS IS AWESOME.
I HAVE PREPARED A FEW ARENA QUESTS FOR YOU TOO, WITH SOME VERY SPECIAL REWARDS: KNIGHTS OF THE FROZEN THRONE CARD PACKS*!
ICE IS NICE (HA HA I RIMED**), SO I MADE SOME CHILLY CHANGES TO THE ARENA.
THERE WILL BE A TAVERN BRAWL FEATURING ME, AHUNE. HAIL YES!
IN CONCLUSION, YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST AT THE FROST FESTIVAL, MORTALS. DON’T FLAKE OUT--I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ARRIVAL WITH GREAT PRECIPITATION.
*THERE’S A FREEZE ON OPENING THESE PACKS UNTIL KNIGHTS ARRIVES!
**ICY WHAT I DID THERE. I SLEIGH ME.
Ragnaros > Ahune.
Do the free arena tickets stack? In example if I haven't finished my arena run at the time when new free ticket is delivered will it activate after I finish my run or will it go to waste?
Will the free arena run ticket be available/valid after the Frost Festival ends? I want to get at least 2 Frozen Throne Packs from my arena runs rather than Un'Goro packs. I do not mind giving up the free win for arena.
I have no idea what i did but using the free arena I got a 12 win out of a shaman deck ,in 2017 , with 7 mages 4 paladins a priest and another shaman (you know the run starts with +1). Went 12/2.
Eye for an Eye never triggers during this Brawl. This is a bug, right?
I think it is but they keep saying nope.
"
The team is aware of this issue with Ice Block and they're working on a fix now. It should be arriving soon, though I don't have a specific time.
As an aside, Eye for an Eye not functioning isn't a bug in this case. It's not damage originating from a Ragnaros dummy, so it shouldn't penetrate the immunity anyway."
in other words if eye for an eye procs, the damage isnt dealt anyway because its not the dummy doing the damage.

Will free Arena run tickets stack up?
Highly unlikely.
Will Ahune be an 8 mana 8/8 Legendary?
(Do something else like the other ragnaros's)
My guess would be that "Freeze a random Character at the end of the turn! If there are frozen minions destroy one at random instead"
Ahune sounds like the Vytautas Mineral Water guy. Who'd have thought.
Also, what does the two-headed murloc thing in the video refer to?
Whos this new frostling to say hes better than Ragnaros?? No one will ever be!
Which is great. You can actually win more than a few games this time around. I'd given up on arena more than a year ago because it seemed 100% full of serious players who always had decks full of legendaries and other top-tier cards. Back in the early days of the game I had no trouble averaging around six wins. By the time I quit, I was happy to get my three.
Blizzard really needs to keep some "chum" in the pool for the sharks to feed on, lest they eat each other. They could do this by awarding arena tickets through the quest system as a regular element of the game.
Do I have to use the free arena tickets within the same week they're given?
I'm wondering if I can't just use the first ticket to play nine arena games and complete all three quests, then save the other two free arena runs for after expansion launch?
My first 12 wins :) And with a Hunter.
Awesome double gold event of Ragnaros! Arena event of Ahune is just as good, since if you get 12 wins, gold returns are excellent for next expansion.
I know, right! Having double gold form quests and doing 12 wins in arena is totally comparable.
You really shouldn't take in consideration that every newb can play 30 mage cards and get the gold but the best arena players in the world average 7 wins...
Irony aside, If you're THAT good in arena it makes small to no difference if Blizz gives you a free arena ticket or you spend the 150 g
Oh, Arena is sweet tonight. 11-2, going into the final boss battle, with an average Paladin deck (no Spikerridged Steed nor Dinosize). I doubt it'll stay this way by the end of the weekend. Go put some newbs on ice.
12 wins for the first time in months (tehcnically 11 because of the freebie win). Thank you Ice Festival.
yeah with a bunch of arena-noobs playing arena for the quest since it is free you can pretty consistently get insane runs if your normal average is between 5 and 7 as most regular arena players are.
