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 third 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.
- We saw this brawl in February 2017 to make up for the missed Holiday 2016.
- This was the first brawl that rewarded a card back for it's reward.
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.
Basically, it works like this.
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.

Discuss this Week's Brawl
Head on over to the forums to discuss this brawl!
priest and odd mage works like a charm
Who can find my present tho? Better hurry up, before Greench ruins the fun!
Got The Beast. Now I only miss Illidan. Thanks Santa RNG :)
Forgot to play brawl last week so missed on a great card back, but then I got a second chance! Thanks Team 5!
You got last week's back then? Not the candycane?
I got the gingerbread one. What's a candy cane?
You mean this candycane? I already had that one.
Rip headphone users...
I don't know...
I was reading post about it, but at the end I didn't understand, so i just went first try with normal deck to watch how my a$$ will be beaten...
After that one game I realized everything xD Like some enlightenment.
So for second game I made my own deck &...
Well... That was my first turn (✌ ゚ ∀ ゚)☞ #ThisBrawlIsFun
Keep queuing up against idiots running their spell hunter from ladder, thanks for the free win, morons.
Already have the card back on NA and received a pack, but I got the card back on Asia just now when I finished my brawl.
I took this brawl as a chance to play with Conceal. Very annoying for the opponent who can´t get their gift for a turn and very funny for you! Remember to BM when you play conceal, all in good fun of course.
Picked Hunter -> complete my deck with 0/30 cards selected -> pop treasures with early 2-attack minions like Zombie and Beetle -> 1-cost Eureka! with only Ysera in hand -> 3-cost Al'Akir the Windlord into 2xNightmare -> 26 Charge damage ftw.
I don' have the card back but i get a pack for my reward....don't know if I should be happy or sad :D
Was Void Ripper around for the brawl last time? It seems like it should be stupidly strong, but it's not in any of the decklists.
EU so can't play for a few hours yet :/
No cardback this time. I just played it, just a pack :(
happy to hear that actually, some card packs are ugly
Uh, no card back regardless of whether you have it or not. That's swell. The post got my hopes up, and then the game dashed them to pieces. Holiday card backs really should be evergreen.
"Deck I made to kill off treasures easily. 1 game 1 win"
1 game -> names the deck 100% WR
*facepalm*
Just teasing you! Merry Christmas!
I have gone 10 and 0 with this deck. Easy wins.
