New Trinkets & Minions Coming To Battlegrounds In Patch 30.6

Blizzard just published a blog post containing news regarding Battlegrounds changes in the upcoming Patch 30.6. It looks to be a pretty hefty mid-season update with over 30 new Trinkets (including some Duos-specific ones), 7 new minions, and multiple card pool changes.

Keep in mind that Patch 30.6 is also when the new expansion will be announced. Given that they are sharing the Battlegrounds info now, we’ll definitely see the upcoming set soon – my guess is either later this week or early next week.

Check out all of the new Battlegrounds additions coming in Patch 30.6 in the blog post below:
