Hearthstone’s Cataclysm expansion is just over a month away, and that means it’s time for Blizzard to begin unveiling the cards we can expect to shake up the meta in the coming months. We’re kicking off reveal season with an exclusive look at the dragon lord Ultraxion.

Ultraxion is a 6-mana 6/7 minion, aligned with the Deathwing classes, and it comes with a pair of big effects. Its Battlecry effect will Herald your Colossal minion and reduce Deathwing’s cost by 1. But on top of that, if you’ve strengthened Ultraxion itself with other Herald minions, you can improve the cost-reduction effect as well.

The Cataclysm expansion imagines a world in which Deathwing was victorious, and Murozond pulled this victorious version of Deathwing into the world of Hearthstone. Naturally some of the classes align with Deathwing, while others align with Chromie, the dragon aspect who gathers her dragonflight against him. The new Herald keyword is used by Deathwing-aligned cards and has stacking effects the more you play. Each Herald card you play has an immediate effect on the board, while also strengthening your class’s Colossal minion, and powering up Deathwing’s cataclysm effect. Colossal minions, powerful Legendaries that spread their stats across several bodies on the board, make their return from 2022’s Sunken City expansion.
