We\u2019re still a week out from Christmas, but it\u2019s time to start opening presents early. Hearthstone<\/em>\u2019s newest Tavern Brawl for the second week of the holiday-themed Winter Veil event, named Gift Exchange, is out now. <\/p>
\u201cGreat Father is dropping crates on the battlefield,\u201d the Tavern Brawl\u2019s description reads. \u201cGet a gift each time you smash your opponent\u2019s crate\u2026or your own.\u201d <\/p>
Upon starting a Tavern Brawl, players will be prompted to choose a hero and create a deck before they\u2019re matched with a random opponent. For the first two turns, each player will have one Winter Veil Crate summoned to their side of the board. Every turn a player doesn’t have a Winter Veil Crate on their side of the board, one will be summoned to their side of the board at the start of their turn.<\/p>
Winter Veil Crates are 0\/4 minions with a Deathrattle that gives the player who destroyed the minion a one-cost spell called a Stolen Winter Veil Gift. The spell Discovers a random treasure, which can be either a minion or spell, and reduces its mana cost.<\/p>
Decks that will excel in the Gift Exchange Tavern Brawl include ones that can kill as many Crates as possible\u2014regardless of which side of the board they\u2019re on. Warlock decks are particularly strong in this game mode due to cards from the class that can destroy friendly minions.<\/p>
For their first win, players will receive the Winter Veil Treat card back, which resembles a gingerbread cookie. Those who received the card back from last year\u2019s Winter Veil event will instead get a Classic Pack for their first win. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
