Murder at Castle Nathria is Hearthstone's 21st expansion, featuring new 135 collectible cards released on August 2, 2022. The expansion depicts a dinner party in Castle Nathria hosted by Sire Denathrius, where he unexpectedly meets his end. Detective Murloc Holmes has been called to solve the case and determine which of the ten suspects committed the crime. Murder at Castle Nathria features a new keyword - Infuse - which allows cards to get more powerful as friendly minions die. The expansion also introduces a brand new card type - Location. Locations are played onto the battlefield for an initial cost, and then have an ability that can be activated for free on your turns, each time for a powerful effect.

By Gianluca ArenaMurder at Nathria Castle isn't a perfect expansion, and a part of the community is still protesting the monetization strategies linked to the Battle Mode Pass, but it's one of the most compelling in several years, thanks to the breath of fresh air brought into the metagame and two major gameplay additions, such as places and the keyword Infusion.

By Eduardo RebouçasMurder at Castle Nathria is another strong expansion to the now venerable Hearthstone, but it doesn't address the game's core problems.
IGN Italy
By Alessandro AlosiHearthstone is more alive than ever with a fascinating expansion that focuses on death and a murder.
Impulsegamer
By Andrew HolmesBeyond the mechanics of the expansion, something Murder at Castle Nathria succeeds in, is the flavor. The idea that this is a murder mystery goes great with the cards released like Murloc Holmes, and works great with the mechanics of the set.
