We announced "Murder at Castle Nathria" 366 days ago! Some thoughts looking back: - Locations are sweet! Honestly, not much I'd change here. I'm very happy with how they play, and there's still a lot of room to grow. They just seem to make sense in the context of the game.

- Renathal/Denathrius/Theotar were a lot. I wonder if they hadn't all existed at the same time if they would have been less contentious, but putting that much power in Neutral is always going to be risky. I'm a little sad with where they ended up, but they're still good bois. :')

- I'm proud of how intentional we were with the theming of the set. My motto was "every card needs to have a purpose." Purpose can be competitive viability, but it can also be cool art, memorable VO, silly flavor text, etc. I think that's been good practice in the year since.

There are certainly things I wish we'd done better. Some archetypes we probably would have pivoted off of if we had more time, some things that went out the door way too strong, etc. But I'm flipping through the set rn, and a lot of it still sees play!

Also it's been almost a year, so I can trust you all with this information now. Theotar started at 3 mana. We all make mistakes.

@SongbirdCora Honestly, looking back at this amazing expansion, the only thing I wish was done was a PvE adventure. Maaaaan I wanted so much a Murder Mystery Dungeon Run :(

@machadogps Yeah, it would have been sweet. The timing was just bad. My dream would have been a repeatable solo adventure where you have to solve the crime but the ending is different every time.
