Winter Veil Event (December 21)
From December 21 to January 5, celebrate Winter Veil with a special event using the new Event System! The Scourge has conscripted the inventors of Ironforge to make munitions for Greatfather Lich King. Drive them out to save Ironforge, and let them get back to making Winter Veil toys for all the good girls and boys! It’s up to you to complete daily event quests to earn Event XP and progress on the special event reward track. Complete the event reward track to purge the evil and earn two Standard Packs, a March of the Lich King Pack, and the Tinker Town Toki and Ini Snowmaster Battlegrounds skins!
Tavern Brawl—Wacky Waxy Winter’s Veil (December 21)
Greatfather Kobold got a bit carried away while wrapping presents and accidentally bundled up all Hearthstone’s greatest minions! Unwrap them to claim victory and a Standard Pack.
Tavern Brawl—Gift Exchange (December 28)
Greatfather Winter is back with a seasonal favorite! Lookout as crates fall from the sky. Get a gift each time you crack one open (on either side of the board). Completing this Tavern Brawl will award you a Standard Pack.
New Battle Bash—Winter Veil Collection (December 13)
A new Battle Bash is here for Winter Veil! This limited-time curated collection* of Battlegrounds cosmetics includes ten Winter Veil themed items (purchasable for money or 1000 Runestones): a Legendary Strike, an Epic Board, five Epic Hero Skins, a Rare Bartender, and two packs of three Rare Emotes. Purchasing the Battle Bash will immediately unlock 2 Hammers you can use to bash for random prizes in the collection. Each Top 4 finish during the Battle Bash period unlocks another Hammer.
As a special Winter Veil gift, Bob is giving all players one free Bash. That means that everyone has a random chance to get their favorite prize for free! It also means that players purchasing the Battle Bash will only need seven Top 4 finishes during the Battle Bash period to unlock all the prizes.
* Each Battle Bash collection will only be available as a whole collection for a limited time. However, individual items within the collection may become available at a later time. For more details, see the full disclosures site.
Special Shop Deals (December 20)
