We've got a new hero and adjustments to ratings in Battlegrounds parties in today's 18.6 Hearthstone patch.
Quote From Blizzard NEW HERO
Zephrys, The Great
- Three Wishes [Cost 4]
- If you have two copies of a minion, find the third. (3 wishes left)
Players with Battlegrounds Perks will have early access to Zephrys, The Great before the Hero is formally released on November 5.
Battlegrounds Parties Adjustments
We’re making small adjustments to Battlegrounds Parties during matchmaking and in post-game rating updates to address the potential advantages that come with queueing as a group.
- Post-game rating updates will no longer include results between players within the same group. When you queue Battlegrounds with a group now, your rating gains are only based on your results against players outside of your group.
- You'll now be matched based on the highest player rating in your group, rather than the group's rating average. End of game rating updates will take this rating disparity into account.
- We’ve disabled 2-4 player Battlegrounds Parties for players above 10,000 rating.
More
- Fixed a Battlegrounds bug where Salty Looter’s Golden form had incorrect stats.
- Fixed a Battlegrounds bug where Gentle Djinni would not consider your current Tavern Tier when spawning an Elemental.

Easily a top tier hero. That Hero Power just negates any gold you would spend rolling and just buys the third minion for you.
Also "find" i think implies Discover option, eh? So if you have more than two pairs, you get to choose which one to complete.
Maybe it's targeted, dunno.

Our favorite Canadian vegan salt lord is happy.
18.6 is up. You can buy Eyes of Cthun cardback from pre-purchase of the Whispers of the Old Gods Card Packs. Also question: does Silas has flavour text in english language?
No flavor text currently in-game, nor in official playhs site (even though the other revealed cards do have them). I'd imagine he'll eventually get one though.
Oh boy... it's almost like Reno, but can be used 3 times.
Wouldn't put Zephrys on the same tier as Reno as there's a lot more work to get the triples, still feels pretty decent though.
Reno doesn't play the golden minion though so he does not get to discover a minion from the tavern tier above.
