135 all-new cards to embroil players in the
motive, means, and drama of a mystery from the shadowed Castle
Nathria
Murder at Castle Nathria™, the latest expansion for Blizzard
Entertainment’s sensational digital card game Hearthstone®, is now
live. Sire Denathrius—former leader of Revendreth—has invited his
enemies as guests to his Castle for an elegant dinner soirée. The
evening is going smoothly…until suddenly, the Sire himself is
murdered! Now, with the castle turned into a crime scene, it’s up
to players—and the brainy Murloc Holmes—to figure out whodunit.

Hearthstone Murder at Castle Nathria
logo
“Castle Nathria is one of the most beloved World of Warcraft®
raids from the past couple of years and we had a lot of fun
bringing the style and energy of that experience to the whimsical
world of Hearthstone,” said Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard
Entertainment. “We’re excited to see players throw on their
deerstalker hats, check fingerprints on all new cards and legendary
suspects, and immerse themselves in the murky mystery of this
expansion.”
To help with the demanding detective work, the Hearthstone team
is adding a new card type to the game! Location cards are a
feisty addition to your board, playable for an initial mana cost
and then activated for free on your turn. Drop them onto the board
and wisely set the effects in motion, keeping careful watch on the
one-turn cooldown and diminishing durability to execute your
strategy.
Also shaking up gameplay is the new keyword, Infuse.
Cards with Infuse will transform into mightier versions of
themselves by drinking the intoxicating anima surrendered whenever
a friendly minion dies. Hold these cards in your hand until they’re
fully infused—the transformation will metamorphose the artwork.
Plus, no mystery would be complete without suspects! All ten
classes will have their own Legendary suspect minion who was
present at the party, giving players plenty of potential motives to
unearth.
Murder at Castle Nathria™ is the second expansion for the Year
of the Hydra. For more card info, game mechanics details, and fun
