Hearthstone – Murder at Castle Nathria, new Cards, Keyword, Card Type, & more!

Hearthstone is arguably the most popular digital collectible card game in the world because of its free-to-play premise, gameplay, and rich Warcraft lore. Although the game debuted in 2014, it stays relevant thanks to expansions, innovations, and a steady stream of new cards. Every expansion brings something new, which is true for Hearthstone - Murder at Castle Nathria (slated for August 2, 2022).

New Cards in Hearthstone – Murder at Castle Nathria

Every regular Hearthstone expansion brings 135 new collectible cards, and that's the case with Murder at Castle Nathria. The theme of this expansion is a murder mystery in the style of Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes stories. Hence, the news cards represent guests, servants, weapons, and possible murder locations.

In line with that story, 10 Legendary cards represent suspects, and let's not forget Hearthstone's most famous detective Murloc Holmes! As new cards arrive, you can expect some nerfs and buffs as new card synergies often become overpowered or too weak. So take current card stats with a grain of salt.
