These are spell cards that you can purchase from Bob&#8217;s Tavern, alongside minions. Just like minions, you need to be at least at the correct tier for a spell to be offered for you to purchase it \u2014 but unlike minions their gold cost will vary.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you need to know about Tavern Spells in <em>Hearthstone<\/em> Battlegrounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do Tavern Spells look like?<\/strong> The cards for Tavern Spells display both their Tavern Tier &#8212; at the usual spot, in the top-left corner &#8212; and their Gold cost, right below the Tavern Tier. In the tavern display, they&#8217;re easily identifiable \u00a0since they feature a completely different card frame than minions. The Tavern Tier is in its usual spot at the top, but the gold cost is in the top-left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do Tavern Spells cost?<\/strong> Spells can cost between 1 and 5 gold, though higher-cost spells only start appearing at the higher tiers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I get Tavern Spells?<\/strong> With each refresh, Bob&#8217;s Tavern will always offer one Tavern Spell alongside the normal number of minions you&#8217;re already used to (which depends on your current Tavern Tier).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many Tavern Spells are there?<\/strong> The patch adds a total of 42 new spells from Tiers 1 to 6 (seven spells on each Tier, except for Tier 4, with nine, and Tier 6, with five).<\/p>\n<p><strong>New minions will affect Tavern Spells.<\/strong> Some of the new minions have special effects that can change the number of spells that are available to be bought each time &#8212; such as <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/JE1GNAQRW9DR1701212787611.png\">Land Lubber<\/a>, a new Tier 2 Elemental \/ Pirate that offers one extra spell on its regular version, or two on its golden version.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long do Tavern Spells stay in my hand?<\/strong> Once you purchase a Tavern Spell, it stays in your hand, just like Minions or other permanent spells like Coins and Blood Gems. You don&#8217;t need to worry about using them immediately: unlike Spellcraft spells, they will not disappear at the end of the turn, so you can hold onto them for as long as needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Tavern Spells are there?<\/strong> These spells could possibly be the best ones, from what we&#8217;ve seen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On Tier 1, <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/F7H6I9ONUVIC1701211273203.png\">Them Apples<\/a> can give you a very nice boost to three future minions for only 1 gold, while <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/YR3SSMGWPMNO1701211271679.png\">Recruit a Trainee<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/E2AL6SF6WN741701211271833.png\">Enchanted Lasso<\/a> will let you bolster your warband with a new minion for only 2 gold &#8212; which can be a great play on the earliest turns of a match.<\/li>\n<li>On Tier 2, <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/U7F3QY8NEXST1701211271927.png\">Chef&#8217;s Choice<\/a> also lets you get a minion for two gold, and you can even know its type. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/RCBZ3UFT9XB81701211272247.png\">Strike Oil<\/a> will cost you 3 gold and do nothing when it&#8217;s played, but you&#8217;ll get 1 extra gold every turn from then on &#8212; a solid long-term investment.<\/li>\n<li>On Tier 3, <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/Z1EW8G83NAEC1701211272649.png\">Natural Blessing<\/a> is a fantastic buff for boards of a single minion type, while <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/0H9TEQ13TM3E1701211273008.png\">Staff of Enrichment<\/a> gives a nice +2\/+2 to your Tavern for the rest of the game for only 3 gold, which is certainly nice.<\/li>\n<li>On Tier 4, <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/JNK5S7KDE4CN1701211272386.png\">Ritual of Growth<\/a> can be a gamble, but is likely to pay off. <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/U1MYFYW8VTHR1701211272031.png\">Planar Telescope<\/a> gives you a new minion for 4 gold, which is costly, but ensures that it belongs to your most common type &#8212; a crucial assurance in the middle stages of the game, when you&#8217;re searching for key pieces.<\/li>\n<li>On Tier 5, <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/A0B09WU5OO0U1701211271586.png\">Armor Stash<\/a> is a way to &#8220;heal&#8221; your Hero after you&#8217;ve lost your initial Armor, which is nice. <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/OMNMD9BDIGVO1701211272554.png\">Golden Touch<\/a> ensures that you can buy a Golden minion for 5 gold, which is costly, but at this stage of the game, should net you at least a Tier 6 minion as a bonus. A must-buy Tavern Spell for sure.<\/li>\n<li>On Tier 6, <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/NGJ5K205XFX51701211272549.png\">Perfect Vision<\/a> is even better than <a href=\"https:\/\/hearthstone.blizzard.com\/en-us\/battlegrounds\/92882-uther-the-lightbringer\">Uther the Lightbringer<\/a> and costs only 2 gold. <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/27RC9N6JSTZ81701211272723.png\">Saloon&#8217;s Finest<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/SKFJJXO9STBH1701211273454.png\">Lost Staff of Hamuul<\/a> seem crazy powerful for only 2 gold as well. Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net\/cms\/content_folder_media\/TQ6EGZ1SJZ8V1701211271763.png\">Sacred Gift<\/a> costs 5, but lets you give Divine Shield to minions that really shouldn&#8217;t have it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A full list of Tavern Spells can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/hearthstone.blizzard.com\/en-us\/news\/24008697\/28-2-patch-notes\">at the official article with the patch 28.2 patch notes<\/a>.
