This week the show had the awesome opportunity to have Hearthstone game designers Mike Donais and Conor Kou answer a variety of Battlegrounds questions from Brian and Kevin. Will there be five minion tribes when a new one comes in, or will one roll out? How does the team feel about inviting more than just 1 friend to Battlegrounds games? Learn the answers to this and much more on a very special episode!

Don't worry, we'll cover the Tavern Brawl too!
