Embrace the Festive Charm: Christmas in New York

Every year, New York transforms into a magical winter wonderland during the holiday season. The bustling streets are filled with anticipation and joy as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate Christmas. From the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to the whimsical window displays at world-famous department stores, there is something truly enchanting about Christmas in the Big Apple. One of the most anticipated events is the annual lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Standing tall at over 75 feet, the tree is adorned with thousands of twinkling lights and a magnificent Swarovski crystal star at the top. This tradition has been drawing crowds since 1933 and has become a symbol of hope and unity for the city.

It´s a super strong nobrainer zerg ability as it stands. We fought a grp of 5 absolutely terrible sorcs yesterday. The only feat they achieved was cursing our stam players every 12s.
Which alone with the possibility of mages wrath explosion puts you in the defensive.

Persistence through rezing seems kind of cool from a necromancer stand point however taking 5k from respawning shouldn t be too big of a deal, since you probably respawn with more than 5k HP and no enemies around you, so shouldn t be too game breaking however should be fixed.

Each year, these department stores go all out to create whimsical scenes that transport you to a magical world.

As long as the curse persists

I see no way to dispel a curse.. I keep seeing people use that Curse that says "for as long as it is cursed" yet i can't find a card that actually removes curses afterwards.

I only see a fast spell "Unseal" to negate a curse before it happens but nothing to clear existing curses.

These creators forgot something so simple to add in the game.

The curse you're talking about is permafrost, a very popular curse. Anything that gives endurance will also destroy that curse as it prevents a unit from being stunned. You can also silence your unit and it will silence the curse as well.

+1 to both answers. Also, unit curses ( other than silence ) is just as easy to remove . 'return unit to players hand' is not just usefull against your apponent ( sends any weapons they have to the void ) played against one of your own units it also gives you the oppertunity to refire effects such as 'summon' and 'ultimate' among others as well as negating a block.

Unwavering Exorcist has Summon: Kill an enemy curse.

But I have yet to make this try or make this work. It can't remove permafrost, that's for sure.

Really? I mean Permafrost is a curse it should be able to do it. If that's really the case send a bug report ingame :)

If i curse a unit with Caltrops and the unit blocks and dies and goes to void. can they now play that unit? If so, that card is pretty worthless because clearly they will always do that option to start playing more of that unit.

The card doesn't state "for as long as the unit is alive" or "for as long as the unit is cursed".. so it makes it seem like it persists after that unit dies but i need clarification.

As soon as a unit leaves the field, all curses are removed from it. So the unit would no longer be affected by Caltrops once it dies.

Yes, Caltrops is a fairly weak card. Not all cards are created equal.

Caltrops should add one extra effect then.. "cursed unit cannot block". that way it has to stay there until the player sacrifices it somehow.

The only use I can think of tbh is as a filler/intermediary between Downfall and Vanquish/Dead or Alive, but even then, a rather bad filler at that . It's not a good removal as it remains as a blocker and still receive buffs ( not that anyone would do that unless theyre on their last copy of it and/or only running one copy ) Nor is it a very good curse, as you mentioned. Would be interisting to see if anyone actually uses it, except maybe some obscure/demented shadow synergy that I can't fathom at the moment :P

Then again . now that I think of it, if you are playing a curse deck that double curses it ( there are curses on entomb ) it might make sense seeing as there are units that depends on curses ( unseen for example )

Is Dead or Alive even played much? Seems suboptimal. I could be wrong since I can see how DoA ->Harsh would be good times but 10 power is a lot.

From Santa's workshop to snowy landscapes, these displays never fail to bring a smile to people's faces. Another highlight of a New York Christmas is the ice-skating rinks scattered throughout the city. Whether it's skating alongside the iconic Central Park or at the Bryant Park Winter Village, there is something truly magical about gliding on the ice surrounded by towering skyscrapers and the festive atmosphere.

As you walk through the streets, the aroma of roasted chestnuts and hot chocolate fills the air, tempting you to indulge in these comforting treats. Food vendors line the sidewalks, offering a taste of New York's diverse culinary scene, from traditional holiday fare to international delicacies.

The characters were underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it hard to connect with them. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making the interactions between the characters awkward and unrealistic. Overall, I found the book to be dull and lacking in originality.

2. Jason - 1 star: I couldn't even finish "A Magical New York Christmas". It was filled with cheesy and overused holiday tropes that made it difficult to take the story seriously. The writing was overly sentimental and lacked substance, with the author relying on clichéd romantic clichés instead of creating a compelling plot. The characters were flat and one-dimensional, making it impossible to care about their outcomes. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a unique and engaging holiday read.

3. Emily - 2 stars: "A Magical New York Christmas" failed to live up to my expectations. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the plot dragged on without any real direction or purpose. The descriptions of New York City were lackluster and failed to transport me to the magical Christmas setting the book promised. The romance felt forced and lacked chemistry, leaving me uninvested in the outcome. Overall, I found this book to be a forgettable and unexciting holiday read.
