== Overview ==
[[The Long Cold Darkness]] is the second chapter in the four-part event series, [[A Journey Through History]], launched in May 2018 with the [[Dominaria]] set.  Each chapter is run as a [[Standard]] PvE weekday event, typically with two events being run in the same week.

Unlike other single-player events without charges, winning on a node you've already beaten continues to earn ribbons, so it is possible to collect all rewards simply by repeating the first opponent.

=== Special rules ===
The event has the following special features:

{{Color restrict|WBRG}}

{{Perma support
|name = Shard of the Twelve Worlds
|side = both
|All last creatures gain {{Ability|Hexproof}}.
|At the beginning of each turn, convert 2 gems to Blue.
}}
