Of course, if you like laddering and netdecking, Rise of Shadows is just as good as the previous expansions. It buffs some classes, it nerfs others, but overall tries to keep things as balanced as possible.

Overview
Here’s a glimpse at what devious new mechanics and Keywords the League of E.V.I.L is introducing with the Rise of Shadows expansion: New Minions: Lackeys – Generated by EVIL cards, Lackeys are 1/1 minions that, while lacking in terms of raw stats, have powerful Battlecry effects. New Spells: Schemes – Schemes are powerful spells that become even more powerful the longer they stay in your hand. New Keyword: Twinspell - Twinspells are spells that, once cast, create a copy of themselves in your hand to be used whenever you like. Familiar Mechanics, Revisited - The fiendish villains of former expansions have snuck a few familiar tricks up their sleeves – a small collection of forbidden, OMEGA, treasure, and repeatable cards have been brought back for Rise of Shadows.

Reception
Rise of Shadows is a welcome return to form for Hearthstone, after a year full of unbalanced cards and frustrating decks. This is the way to go for the future and we can't wait to try the new adventure mode.
Rise of Shadows makes Hearthstone feel more interactive again, but that might just be certain sets rotating out. While the new mechanics aren't great enough to build decks around, several cards add great value to existing archetypes.
