Snow is falling all around. Well, maybe. It’s probably snowing somewhere right now. Whether you’re waking up to a White Christmas or not, the CUE team just want to say MERRY CHRISTMAS! We hope Santa’s been good to you and get ready for a final day of gifts and treats!

9:00 UTC

Christmas is apparently the best time to kidnap children in folklore because we’ve got the final child catcher in the 12 Days of CUEmas pack today - Sack Man. This horrible fella will when played, if you have played at least 1 Festive Traditions card this game, give your Mythical Creatures cards +20 Power until played. Just stay as far away from him as you can!

10:00 UTC

You’ll be shaking your belly like a bowlful of jelly when you see the Merry Christmas pack. Loads of coins and 1 Limited Epic and 1 Limited Legendary card. Enjoy!

12:00 UTC

The League Spotlight pack stays just as special today and you’ve got a chance of 1 of 6 Featured Limited Legendary cards, including Greenwich Mean Time, Florence Nightingale or The Magician. 

The Yuletide Treasure pack is stuffed with goodies including a lovely Christmas jumper card back, gems, coins and Limited Legendaries and Limited Epics.

15:00 UTC

If Yule is more your thing, rather than Christmas, you can still celebrate with the Norse Mythology pack, with a chance for cards like Sif, Muspelheim and Hel!

LEAGUE RULES

-----------------------

It’s survival mode this week, with a massive Starting Energy of 70 and Energy Cap of 100, but with just 8 Energy per Turn and a Minimum Energy of 8!

Going Underground is the perfect deck to play if you’re holding onto your Energy, especially with cards like the Fennec Fox to dramatically decrease its Energy cost, while Angora Rabbit’s additional ability with fan-favorite, Pika, can add over 80 Power to a turn! Picking up +100 Power this week, we’re sure to see some Going Underground decks here.

Exciting Exploration picks up +80 Power, and with in-collection Energy reductions from Sir Walter Raleigh, and Power from Zheng He and Vasco Da Gama, it’s easy to drop Ida Pfeiffer in for that extra Power boost.

Ancient Creatures get +70 Power, so it’s a great time to try out our recent releases like Langstonia and Longisquama, with Arthropleura sure to make a feature in this deck type.

There’s also +50 Power for Once Upon a Time, Pioneers of Science and Watching the Skies.
