Hearthstone's Season 8 has arrived, bringing exciting changes to Battlegrounds! This update introduces new heroes, minions, cards, and a revamped system that seasoned players will appreciate. Let's explore the key additions.

Trinkets: The New Power-Ups

The core gameplay shift is the introduction of Trinkets. There are 56 Lesser Trinkets and 60 Greater Trinkets, offering diverse buffs and effects. These are acquired on turns 6 and 9, with four options presented each time. The Trinkets offered are tailored to your chosen hero and current board composition (Elementals, Dragons, Murlocs, etc.), ensuring strategic relevance.

Marin the Manager: A New Hero

Meet Marin the Manager, the new hero joining the fray. Marin's unique ability allows you to acquire a Trinket a turn earlier than usual, providing a significant advantage.

Season 8 involves a minion refresh. While 41 minions are rotating out, 22 returning favorites and 27 brand-new minions are introduced, along with 2 new Tavern spells, creating a dynamic meta.
