(4)What a Tavern Spell costs you
A Tavern Spell is not free value sitting beside the minions — it takes one of the slots in your shop offer and it is paid for with the same gold you would otherwise spend buying, rolling or upgrading. Every spell on this page is really a question about what you are giving up for it that turn.
Tier is what decides when you are allowed to see one at all, so the higher-tier spells here are not simply stronger, they are later. That is worth keeping in mind when a spell looks underwhelming for its cost: the cheap early ones are competing with a two-gold minion, and the expensive late ones are competing with a roll you badly need.
Tavern Spells FAQ
Are Blood Gems Tavern Spells?
No. A Blood Gem is a 0-cost token that Quilboar minions create and spend for you — it never takes a slot in your shop offer and never costs you gold, so it sits with the generated spells rather than the tavern pool. The mix-up is an easy one to make, because there is a Tavern Spell called Blood Gem Barrage, and that one you do buy. See the 9 generated spells →
Why did a Tavern Spell disappear from my game?
Spells rotate out on patch day exactly as minions do — Sanctify, for one, was removed from the Tavern Spell pool. A spell that leaves is archived rather than deleted: its page stays up so older guides and links still resolve, and it is labelled as no longer in the pool. 42 spells sit in the archive today.

Tavern Spell, Spellcraft, Darkmoon Prize or Dark Gift — which is which?
The Tavern Spell is the only one you buy: it takes a slot in your shop offer and costs gold. A Spellcraft spell is made for you at the start of your turn by a Naga you have played. While Naga are rotated out of the pool, as they have been since patch 36.6.1, there are none. A Darkmoon Prize is a passive that lasts the rest of the game, offered by Tickatus and by some trinkets. A Dark Gift is a permanent bonus riding on a minion, Discovered from turn 3 for 3 gold and available in every lobby. Browse Dark Gifts →
Is a Tavern Spell worth buying instead of a minion?
They compete for the same gold and the same shop slot, so the question is usually what you give up rather than what the spell does. A spell whose effect is permanent pays you back for the rest of the run, which makes it worth more the earlier you can afford it; a one-off tempo spell only earns its gold if it wins the fight in front of you. The tier and cost on each card here are what that trade-off turns on.
