Hearthstone players shocked by new Murder at Castle Nathria legendary
Blizzard EntertainmentOn July 14, Blizzard revealed Kryxis the Voracious, a new Demon Hunter legendary class card.
Kryxis is a 4 mana cost minion with 7 attack and 7 health and a description that reads “Battlecry: Discard your hand. Deathrattle: Draw 3 cards.”
The post shot up to the top of the Hearthstone subreddit, with many players stunned at how powerful the card stats are mixed with the text.
Many fans were quick to point out how powerful the combo of Kryxis and another Demon Hunter class card is, Razorfen Beastmaster. The combo, costing just seven mana, can help completely ignore the negative Battlecry from Kryxis and provide insane amounts of value both on the board and with card draw.
One user said the card won’t last long on live servers before being nerfed, “It’s gonna get nerfed day 1.”
With an August 2 release date for Murder at Castle Nathria, it won’t be too long before players can test out this new legendary for themselves.
Early opinions on Kryxis have players believing that Demon Hunter will be a top tier class from the get go.
