Hearthstone `Rise of Shadows` ExpansionThe next expansion for Hearthstone, Rise of Shadows, is coming on April 9. It will add 135 new cards to collect and play along with new mechanics and more. This time the Arch-Thief Rafaam has gathered a cabal of villains for a daring heist, in the first item of a planned ongoing story for the Year of the Dragon.The villains are bringing their Lackeys, 1/1 minions with specialized Battlecries, and Schemes, spells that grow more powerful the longer you hold them. The crime-fighters the Defenders of Dalaran fight back with Twinspells, a new keyword that gives you back another copy of a spell once you`ve played it.On April 5, players can login to receive a free Legendary card from the set that will be playable immediately, before the April 9 launch date. Then roughly a month later, the Rise of Shadows single-player campaign will launch. The first chapter will be free, and subsequent chapters will cost 700 gold apiece.
