What is Hearthstone Battlegrounds Duos?

Battlegrounds Duos involves you and a partner queuing up together against three other teams. These teams also have two players each. Each team shares life totals and can pass each other cards through the Portal. This requires one gold. The goal is to work together in tag-team fights and bring home the Battlegrounds Duos crown.
