Kripparrian has posted a video, ahead of today's patch notes, which details changes coming to Hearthstone Battlegrounds this week.
There's an interesting minion that appears in the video too, but we'll be waiting for the patch notes to post about it.
New Hero - N'Zoth
Bringing N'Zoth to Standard and as a cosmetic hero was not enough! The Old God has also joined the fight in Battlegrounds with a passive hero power.
Spells Arrive in Battlegrounds - Darkmoon Prizes
Darkmoon Prizes are being added to Battlegrounds and they come in the form of spells (most of the time)!
- Every 4 turns, you get a "prize turn". You get to discover one of the spells on that turn.
- Each prize spell costs 0 mana.
- These have limited-time availability inside of Battlegrounds (TBA).
- The different prize turns have different pools of spells inside of them.
Prize Turn 1 (BG Turn 4)
Prize Turn 2 (BG Turn 8)
Prize Turn 3 (BG Turn 12)
Prize Turn 4 (BG Turn 16)

Is it just me, or is that Fish going to be totally busted? Think about early game deathrattles like Selfless Hero and Fiendish Servant, plus all the big summons you can get later on. That thing could get pretty nasty.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, and I don't play battlegrounds often because it takes too long, but what about having an "End Turn" button to start the next round quicker, if everyone clicked it. Sometimes I'm left waiting for 30 seconds doing nothing. I think if this existed, I'd play this mode a lot more.
This is gonna feel great when it works for you, and abysmally bad when it doesnt. Seems like another way to highroll. Guess we'll see how it goes, 4 will probably be pretty important, so heroes that can smoothly transition there to take advantage first might be even stronger.
There is another new minion (see Kripparians stream)
WOW, This is pretty interesting!
I was taking a break from HS cuz of the battle pass drama, but with that being tweaked this week and these new BG additions I might come back.
Hoping the patch also fixes some bugs that're in the game, too.
Turn 16 in BGs LUL
This is gonna be madness.
