March of the Lich King is Hearthstone's 22nd expansion, featuring new 145 collectible cards released on December 6, 2022. The expansion depicts the return of The Lich King, as he leads his Undead army to an all-out assault on the elven city of Silvermoon. The Blood Elves won’t go down easily; they are as thirsty for combat as they are for the magic of the Sunwell that they draw power from. March of the Lich King introduces Hearthstone's 11th total and second-ever new class, the Death Knight. The expansion also introduces a brand new permanent minion type - Undead. Undead minions trigger bonus effects if a friendly Undead minion died after the player's last turn. In addition to that, March of the Lich King introduces dual minion types, meaning some minions can have two different minion types. Both Undead and dual minion types are retroactively added to all cards from the past. Manathirst is March of the Lich King's new keyword. Cards with Manathirst get more powerful once the player reaches a specified amount of mana. Mana isn't required to be spent to power up the cards, but that much mana must be in the player's control. In addition to Manathirst, Reborn from Saviors of Uldum returns as a permanent keyword going forward, and can be seen on Undead minions in March of the Lich King.

By Alessandro AlosiBy betting everything on the Death Knight and its difficult but undoubtedly successful adaptation to the dynamics of Hearthstone, Blizzard ends up forgetting a bit about the other classes. Could more have been done for Anduin and company? Probably, but the risk of exaggerating was perhaps too high and we finally have our DK, so that's okay.
IGN Italy
By Alessandro AlosiAn expansion full of personality and interesting ideas that celebrates the Lich King but forgets about the other heroes, who in response get the best results in a meta that tastes new and old at the same time.

By Gianluca ArenaMarch of the Lich King is a courageous expansion, impressive content, which bets on a new class and, regardless of the thousand problems in which the development team had already run into at the time of the debut of the demon hunter, tries to offer even more substantial news, between the tripartite rune system and the new keyword "Thirst for mana". The result has so far impressed us, and we are having a lot of fun composing mixed decks of the knight of death and experimenting with the various synergies between the cards, much more than had happened in recent years.
