Revision as of 20:52, 26 September 2022 by AnarchangeI (talk | contribs)

The Long Cold Darkness is the second chapter in the four-part event series, A Journey Through History (AJTH), launched in May 2018 with the Dominaria set. Each chapter is run as a weekday PvE 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 a preferred opponent. This is true of all events in AJTH.

The Long Cold Darkness changed from Standard to Legacy in November 2019 (v3.9). Originally, players received a bonus of a particular story-related Dominaria Saga card in their hand on the first turn of each node, but drawing bonus cards from outside the game was later replaced by drawing additional cards from the deck.
