Rafaam works a bit like the Golden Monkey from League of Explorers, replacing your hand and deck with Legendary minions. Madame Lazul, for example, gets access to Forbidden cards that are similar to those featured in 2016's Whispers of the Old Gods. What about those callback cards we mentioned earlier on though? Well, each of these characters will have access to a keyword or mechanic that featured in the expansion they first appeared in. The five members of the League of EVIL will be represented by the following mischievous characters:

Zoo Warlock - Zoo Warlock deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Control Shaman - Control Shaman deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Big Shaman - Big Shaman deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Murloc Shaman - Murloc Shaman deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Deathrattle Rogue - Deathrattle Rogue deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Thief Rogue - Thief Rogue deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Tempo Rogue - Tempo Rogue deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Nomi Priest - Nomi Priest deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Silence Priest - Silence Priest deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Resurrect Priest - Resurrect Priest deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Secret Paladin - Secret Paladin deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Big Paladin - Big Paladin deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Mech Paladin - Mech Paladin deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Spell Mage - Spell Mage deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Freeze Mage - Freeze Mage deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Hand Mage - Hand Mage deck list guide (Rise of Shadows)

Dragon Mage - Dragon Mage deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Spell Hunter - Spell Hunter deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Midrange Hunter - Midrange Hunter deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Mech Hunter - Mech Hunter deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Malygos Druid - Malygos Druid deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Heal Druid - Heal Druid deck list guide (Rise of Shadows)

Token Druid - Token Druid deck list guide (Rise of Shadows) Here are some of the standout ideas that are starting to rise to the surface: Once the expansion goes live they'll be putting together in-depth guides with the latest deck lists, and we'll drop those links in here as well so you can get stuck into all the new stuff.Ĭertain archetypes already seem promising. In the build up to release, our friends at sister-site Metabomb are busy cooking up theorycrafted guides on promising new archetypes, and we've dropped a few of them in here so you can start brushing up. In our Rise of Shadows guide, we've gathered together all the information you need to know about the new expansion, so you're well prepared ahead of launch next month. There will, of course, also be a massive injection of cards to help revitalise Hearthstone, along with a handful of new mechanics which should freshen things up a bit as well. The League of EVIL characters will each be represented by a dastardly character from years gone by, while the Defenders of Dalaran will have their own special tricks of the trade to help them fight back against the devilish new threat. The first Hearthstone expansion of 2019 was announced towards a few weeks ago, and thematically we're about to see the game's nine heroes get separated into two very different factions.
