I'm going to add a Snowflake leaderboard for total collected, which was surprisingly absent initially (derp), but no plan for individual totals (if people want this, let us know and we can definitely find a place to put it). Currently, you can check your site achievements to see snowflake counts when you hit certain milestones.
Woo thanks flux!
Man that poor tiger is getting pounded he has so much snow he can rival Alaska now
and i run out of snow
need comment often
Fight!
Ah.... Calvin and Hobbes, I grew up reading their Comic strip. I see you're a person of Culture.
I really love the idea of Snow Balls and the interactive nature of it. I hope there are plans for similar events in the future. Keep up the good work you guys!
Have a safe and fun Holiday Season everyone!!!
Don't forget to duck!
I can't make any promises about throwing things at people in other events, I want them to feel unique, but that uniqueness with all of the events we do on the site and having special stuff available for each one is definitely going to happen. Activities that can bring the community together and have some fun are very important to me.
I've already got a large list of stuff I want to see for next year's winter event, we'll see how much of it actually makes it into that one and what else might get repurposed into other events next year.
5 Christmas gifts! That's really generous of you Flux, thanks!
Any hints for Just be thankful that we're throwing regular snowballs on Out of Cards instead of these spiky ones? It's the only 1 I am missing and I don't see any card with spiky snowballs at all.
It's not a collectible card.
"One win and out"- kind of week for you then? Otherwise you should've seen plenty of these offered lately.
Thanks, I found this clue on Google before, but the search at the top did not return it as a result, that's why I could not find it at first. Per your hint and via the Tavern Brawl guides I did manage to solve this last clue! Thanks again!
Here, enjoy a thrown snowball by me 🤣
Oh it's a Tavern Brawl? I think I remember now. I knew I had seen a spiky snowball, but I was going through the collectable cards and couldn't find anything. I didn't go through every card, I was going to look for hints first.
There is a small typo in "Better make sure to eat all your desert lest it become this monstrosity." which is slightly confusing. It should be dessert not desert.
Anyway, I'm loving the event - great work with the snowballs.
Unless it's some sort of sand monster.
Then it would be eating the desert.
I may or may not have gone down that route when trying to find it.
Just in case you still haven't gotten it, here is a hint:
I had got it but thanks anyway
"This little guy just wants some friends. Show him a good time for the holidays!"
Anytime, little one. :)
"In this kind of game mode? In this kind of deck? At this mana curve? Localized entirely within lane 7?"
Yes. :)
