Entertainment. Starting April 9, players will be able to join the League of Evildoers to write the franchise's first full-length story, featuring 135 evil new cards and twisted original mechanics.
After suffering defeat at the hands of the League of Explorers, Arch Killer Rafaam realized that his schemes on Azeroth required far more rogue than he alone could provide. In the years since those events, Rafaam has dwelt in the shadows, forming a League of EVIL with the greatest antagonists Hearthstone has ever known: a veritable group of supervillains from previous Hearthstone expansions, including King Togafloja, Madame Lazul, the uncontrollable Dr. Bum and the witch Hagatha. In Rise of Shadows, these evildoers will bring out their true and nefarious intentions, but this time with the help of those players who don't mind getting their hands a little dirty.
In addition to such a promising entourage of players, EVIL League also has lackeys to boss around: 1/1 minions with a diabolical array of battle cries. These low-level minions will prove essential in executing the League's vicious plans: Plans are new spells that increase in power the longer they remain in the player's hand. And if muscle and brains weren't enough, these villains have even more tricks up their sleeves: cards whose effects are a tribute to other cards belonging to the Hearthstone expansions these villains originate from; This will give players new possibilities to develop strategies.
J. Allen Brack, CEO of Blizzard Entertainment:
It's very exciting to see these villains so beloved by players play a central role in Rise of Shadows. We can't wait to see you wreak havoc with the sinister new cards in this set.
Players wishing to join the ranks of the League of EVIL will do well to cover their backs, as they will more than likely end up becoming the target of a group of vigilantes known as the Defenders of Dalaran. These formidable guardians are known for their double spells, powerful spells that, once cast, generate a copy of themselves that can be used again in the confrontation. We'll share more classified information about the Dalaran Defenders with our agents later.
