New Event: Winter Welcome

New Event: Winter Welcome

Gather friends great and small for the Winter Welcome, a two-week holiday event that tests your abilities with a special rule:

Only common cards are allowed during the Winter Welcome event.

  • During the Winter Welcome event, players use a single constructed deck made only from common cards.
  • The Winter Welcome event costs 3,000 gold or 250 gems to enter.
  • Each run consists of 7 wins or 3 losses, and awards a minimum of 3 packs of Defiance.
  • The Winter Welcome begins on Friday, December 21 and runs through the holidays, ending Wednesday, January 2.

iOS Users: There is currently a known issue on iOS devices where players who submit an invalid deck are ejected from the Winter Welcome event without appropriate messaging. Affected players can resubmit a legal deck and play their run as normal.

Using only common cards stretches your deck-building muscles. If you’re looking for some inspiration, check out these ten different approaches to the Winter Welcome event:

Will you be changing one of these lists to fit your play style? Or do you already have your own secret tech brewing?

Whatever your approach, it’s a wide-open field for the Winter Welcome event!
