Up to date for Patch 35.0.3 · Latest official patch: 35.0.3 Apr 3, 2026

Battlegrounds Minions & Tavern Spells

All 234 minions and 58 tavern spells available in Bob's Tavern in the current patch. Use filters to narrow down by tavern tier, tribe, or mechanic. You can also toggle tavern spells on or off to focus on minions only.

Minions are organized into 7 Tavern Tiers. In the early game (Tiers 1–4), minions mainly serve to save your health while you look for direction. The minions that truly define your composition start appearing at Tavern Tier 5. Don't commit too early — wait until you find your core cards, then build around them. Each minion belongs to one of 10 tribes (or is neutral), and some of the strongest builds combine multiple tribes. Tavern Spells are purchased alongside minions and provide buffs, economy, or board effects.

Each card is cross-referenced with our meta compositions database. Cards that play a key role in current builds are marked with a ★ label — "Core or Enabler" for cards that define a composition, and "Support" for cards that fuel scaling or provide utility. Use the Comp Cards filter to show only these cards and quickly find the minions and spells that matter most in the current meta.
