Rise of Shadows expansion now live in Hearthstone

The long-awaited Hearthstone expansion – Rise of Shadows is finally live! The expansion brings 135 all-new cards featuring mechanics and keywords expressly designed for doing no good. Special events are being held to celebrate the new expansion too.

Here is the story of Rise of Shadows:

Azeroth’s most notorious villains have joined forces and are planning something evil involving the mystical floating city of Dalaran. This formidable gang of ne’er do wells, led by Arch-Villain Rafaam has styled itself The League of E.V.I.L. They’re tired of the indignities they’ve suffered at the hands of Azeroth’s do-gooders.

To pull off their brazen deed, they’ve cooked up sinister Schemes, cards that grow in power the longer they remain in-hand and they won’t think twice to put the spurs to their Lackeys, 1/1 minions that make up for their lack of brawn with potent Battlecries.

Unfortunately for them, the Defenders of Dalaran won’t go down without a fight. Wielding mighty Twinspells, which generate a copy of themselves in players’ hands once they’re cast, the Defenders could put a serious damper on the League of E.V.I.L.’s plans.
