Spread the holiday cheer to your friends and let them know that new players will receive an additional 50 packs (10 packs from each of the last five Standard expansions) if they create new accounts and login before January 31!
Winter Veil Event[edit | edit source]
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!
New Battle Bash—Winter Veil Collection[edit | edit source]
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.
