Another shop update dropped today! Since it’s expansion day, the update is really massive. We have a new Tavern Pass (if you plan to buy it, you better do it early to get the XP boost as quickly as you can since they aren’t retroactive), new and returning Hero skins, Diamond bundles, card pack bundles, and even a refresh on Tavern Ticket bundles. Overall there’s a lot of buy if you want to spend some money (or Gold for that matter). Card pack bundles are ranked – what I have here are only Rank 1, if you know what’s in Rank 2 and 3, please share in the comments! Anyway, here are all of the new items that are available this week:
- The Great Dark Beyond Tavern Pass (2000 Runestones or $20) – Access to the paid rewards track, which contains XP booster, a few Golden/Signature/Diamond cards, as well as lots of cosmetics. You can find a full list here.

Tier 1 skins are “premium” ones while Tier 2 are more basic. In general, Tier 1 skins tend to include more extra features like completely new emotes, Hero Power animations, unique Hero tray, or some extra visual effects. Some of those might also be included in Tier 2 skins, but usually only 1 of those special features is present (if any). It’s not an official classification – it’s just something we use to differentiate between more basic and premium skins! Blizzard has added their own “rarities” for Battlegrounds skins, but they haven’t done it so far for Constructed (other than Diamond & Legendary Heroes).
New items usually stay in the shop for around 1-2 weeks – sometimes it’s longer (3 or more weeks) but I wouldn’t universally count on that, so if you’re interested in one of them, get them soon.
