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.

Play Hearthstone: Rise of Shadows on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Hearthstone: Rise of Shadows on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
