Battlegrounds Season 8 is coming August 20th, but before that, we will tell you everything about the new mechanic, Trinkets, as well as show you all the cards for a specific Tribe, the new and changed cards, as well as the leaving cards and the cards that will stay. This includes the new Trinkets!
Today Blizzard revealed the Demons!
New Mechanic: Trinkets
For a more comprehensive look at Trinkets it is best to browse the Announcement Blog Blizzard sent out, but we will break it down in simple terms here so you can get into the Cards.
- Trinkets are a new mechanic in the same vein as Quests and Buddies.
- They are similar to Quests in how they spice up game play, but they are far more dynamic with up to 60 choices, twice.
- You will get a Lesser Trinket on Turn 6, when you have 8 gold and a Greater Trinket on turn 9 (or your second 10 gold turn in other words).
- You are offered 4 Choices and are forced to choose 1 of them.
- Trinkets cost Gold, but different Trinkets cost different amounts.
- Trinkets are tied to 1 or 2 Minion types and will not offer if those are not in lobby.
- The lesser Trinkets are more broad in appeal and less likely to force you into a specific minion type for the rest of the game.
- The greater Trinkets are more specific and will offer a higher power level
- Trinkets offer a payoff for what you are doing, or offer a pivot choice to go do something else.
With the basics of Trinkets explained, let's dive into the cards!

Crafty Aranasi always felt too slow and needed way better economy when False Implicator exists
Only felt strong if you got an early Felbat or majority mech lobby.
Has there really never been a card with Pilgrimp's effect? Maybe I'm just mixing it up with the 3/3 that got replaced with Hasty Excavation
I'll miss my Aranasi...
Goodbye felboar, I will always remember you
Pilgrimp is actually insane?
Yes, saves you more gold than Malchezaar but won't have Floating Watcher to compensate
