Hearthstone’s newest mode, Battlegrounds, combines all the best aspects of the auto-chess genre with the Hearthstone card game engine. As such, a huge part of getting better at the game and executing solid combos is the understanding of which minions (cards assigned with a cost) are best at each tier.
To help attain that understanding, below are the minions this author has found to be the most effective at each Tavern Tier.

Tavern Tier 1: Micro Machine and Wrath Weaver
It’s important to be thinking about the mid and late-game even as soon as the first round of drafts. For this reason, the tier 1 minions that are the best of the bunch are the Micro Machine and Wrath Weaver. Each, more than any other card at tier 1, have the ability to end the game with 30+ attack, allowing them to be cards the player doesn’t feel like they need to sell in the mid-game. Keep an eye on these at the start of your next match.
Tavern Tier 2: Nightmare Amalgam and Gaint Rat
Tier 2 cards have much the same philosophy as those in tier 1 where the goal is good viability throughout a game and good scaling to later stages of the game. For this reason, Nightmare Amalgam is an especially powerful card that can sync with just about any Battlecry buff, allowing it to be the centerpiece of any composition in the late-game. However, Giant Rat also gets considered here due to its necessity in the Pack Leader Beast composition.
