Our Hearthstone Dalaran Heist Guide features information on pricing, release dates, launch times, rewards, and everything else you'll need to know for this new single-player mode being brought to the Rise of Shadows expansion in Hearthstone!
The Dalaran Heist single-player mode for Rise of Shadows is the culmination of all the other rogue-like modes that Hearthstone has featured in the past. It is the combined knowledge of Dungeon Run, Monster Hunt, and Rumble Run. You will be fighting against 75 unique bosses, picking from nine different heroes that each have three hero powers, and can event extend the fun by participating in Anomaly Mode or trying the more challenging Heroic Mode! If you've been a fan of Hearthstone's PvE in the past, then you should really love what Dalaran Heist has to offer.
Update: (5/14/19): If you're excited to see some early single-player action in Hearthstone, then Blizzard has brought some content creators to play it on stream!

Dalaran Heist Rewards
For each individual chapter you unlock, you will get three Rise of Shadows packs for free (15 in total if you unlock all five chapters). If you unlock all five of the chapters, you will get yourself a sweet Golden copy of Zayle, Shadow Cloak and a Golden Classic Card Pack (all cards are guaranteed to be golden).
If Zayle, Shadow Cloak sounds familiar, it is because it is very similar to Whizbang the Wonderful ! Zayle will be the only card required to be placed in your deck, and when you take it into the game you will play one of five EVIL decks at random.
If you don't want to purchase the Dalaran Heist single-player mode, you can still craft a normal copy of Zayle, Shadow Cloak when it releases.
Card Backs
There's two card backs up for grabs, one is for completing the Dalaran Heist normally, and the other is for completing it in Heroic mode!

Dalaran Heist Friendly Encounters
It appears you won't just be facing off against bosses in this mode, there will be friendly encounters where you can pretty much edit your deck. You can remove cards that you don't want, and you can even recruit some new ones if you see something sweet that the NPC has to offer!
You get a certain amount of coins to work with, and each action costs you a coin (or 0 in the case of Dismiss).
Dalaran Heist Anomaly & Heroic Mode
If you want to change things up a bit in the adventure, then you can try your luck at Anomaly Mode! You can replay one of the chapters, and when you do you will be given a random effect for that particular run. For example, there's "Anomaly - Hallucinating: Both players start the game with 10 'Hallucinations' in their deck." There's also the Wild Magic Anomaly, it reads: "All spells cast an additional time. (targets chosen randomly). Each time you start a new run, you will get a different effect that will help vary up the experience to add more life to the mode!
If difficulty is what you crave, then you are in luck with Heroic Mode! This ramps up the difficulty quite a bit by giving the bosses more health and better decks. Your deck building skills and RNG will be tested to the max.
