Gifting Concierge

This was already posted on the original Gifting Returns 2024 post, but I'll reiterate it again since it's important information for anyone interested in participating in Gifting this year:

If you are new to gifting, you might now know that there is a prominent player who has acted as a Gifting concierge for the last several Gifting events. Gifting is typically a very chaotic time in EpicDuel so this role helps to keep major Gifting events from conflicting with each other and depriving the particants of their rightful rewards. You may know him as Smoking Shadow, and if you are interested in hosting a major Gifting event, you will want to get in touch with him:

In-game: Smoking Shadow
Discord: mihawk98
Twitter: Mihawkplayss
