Several card reveals led up to the expansion, all 135 of which players can now view over on the game’s website.

New keyword, cards and more

Some of these new cards also have a new keyword. A card with Honorable Kill provides a bonus effect once a player, on their turn, uses it to deal exact lethal to an enemy. A couple of these cards include Axe Berserker and Brasswing. While Axe Berserker is a 4 mana 3/5, Brasswing is a 9/7 dragon that costs 8 mana.

Hearthstone’s Fractured in Alterac Valley expansion also has new hero cards. All 10 classes within the game can access a Legendary hero card and take advantage of the battlecries and hero powers. Examples of these cards include Xyrella, the Devout and Beaststalker Tavish.
