Blizzard accidentally made a game mode that is better than their original game.
If you haven't heard, Hearthstone battlegrounds is the new game mode for hearthstone. This list will help you recognize the core build cards and speed up your learning curve.
There are four main end game builds:
- Demons
- Murlocs
- Beasts
- Mechs
This list has the top four core cards for each build. Enjoy!
