Get ready for the holidays, brave deck-slingers!

The Snow Sprite has begun scattering glitter across Cardhuntria and that can mean only one thing: the Grand Winter Festival is nearly upon us. Festivities will run all the way through January 12. Throughout this cheerful span the Holiday Shop opens its frosty doors and the multiplayer queue rotates onto special snow-dusted boards. Cuthbert has also unpacked a fresh shipment of seasonal figures, so if you have ever wanted to send a Firestorm from inside a gingerbread suit, now is the moment.

Even more events!

Until January 12 every day is packed with the following events:

• Loot Fairy Madness sprinkles extra sparkle over adventure chests

• Crafting costs drop by 25 percent which means fewer shards and more shiny toys

• Weighted Loot is turned up so legendaries feel just a tad less legendary to find

• The Epic Daily Chest arrives each midnight begging to be cracked

May fortune and high initiative rolls be with you.

Holiday deals

All story expansions are sliced in half for the entire festival. Whether you still need to trek through Treasure Hunt Caverns or you simply want to give a friend the gift of extra loot, this is the jolliest price of the year.
