Returning Tavern Brawls

Hearthstone players can also duke it out against others in the Gift Exchange Tavern Brawl, which involves receiving gift drops. To win this Tavern Brawl, players must fight to open presents and gain advantages against their opponent.

If this is the first time that a player is participating in the Gift Exchange Tavern Brawl, then they will receive the Winter Veil Treat card back as opposed to a regular card pack.

The following Wednesday will feature the Wacky Waxy Winter Veil Brawl. This returning Tavern Brawl involves Large Waxy Gift cards. When opened, the card provides the opponent with a random and discounted Legendary minion.
