How to play Kha'Zix
Each victory feeds the next. Experience is used to make your attacker bigger or to remove an exposed unit from the field. Kha'Zix, Mutating Horror gains Strength and XP if the enemy is alone, and Void Assault moves one unit of yours and another unit to create just that combat.
Domains: Body and Chaos
Body
Big units and more resources: win on size on the board.
Chaos
Movement, discard and risky plays that break the opponent's plan.
A Kha'Zix deck can only include cards from Body and Chaos; its 12 Runes are split between those two Domains.
