A game update is arriving today to push out some balance to Hearthstone Battlegrounds. The changes focus on Quest Rewards, Toxfin, and updates to the Minion Pool.
Quote From Blizzard Quest Reward Updates
- The Kidnap Sack Quest Reward has been made harder to earn.
- The Hidden Treasure Vault and Teal Tiger Sapphire Quest Rewards have been made easier to earn.
- The Partner in Crime, Pilfered Lamps, Wondrous Wisdomball, and Yogg-tastic Tasties Quest Rewards will appear more frequently.
Dev Comment: As we approach the end of the season, we want all players to have a chance to experience some of the rarer Quests they may or may not have been able to find. Enjoy!
Minion Updates
Toxfin
- Old: Tavern Tier 4
- New: Tavern Tier 6
Dev Comment: Though not a power outlier at most levels, Toxfin has a limiting effect on what playstyles feel viable in Murloc lobbies. We are pushing Toxfin up to Tier 6 as a way to open up some space for more diverse strategies.
Minion Pool Updates
- Mechano-Tank and Interrogator Whitemane have been removed from the minion pool.
- Witchwing Nestmatron, Mechano-Egg, Mythrax the Unraveler, and Seafood Slinger have been returned to the minion pool.

Shaman draws 2 murlocs...
Ruh rogh!
I have definitely had lobbies where I've gone, "Crud, I'm getting some elementals/pirates/big minions strats, but there are murlocs in the lobby that'll eat me if I do, I guess I have to force something different". I like that murlocs having a board full of poison is no longer a given.
Glad to see that Toxfin nerf and the return of Seafood Slinger. Big Murlocs are way more fun than cheese strats
