Lore[edit | edit source]
The Fire Fest-E.V.I.L. takes place between the events of Rise of Shadows and Saviors of Uldum. As the League of E.V.I.L. are transporting the flying city of Dalaran to Uldum, Blastmaster Boom somehow manages to crash the entire city into Blackrock Mountain, abode of Ragnaros (host of previous years' Fire Festival), 
Nefarian, and their minions.

- Anyone attempting to navigate a rocket-propelled capital city full of megalomaniacal super-villains across a continent rife with mountains, monsters, and magic can expect to encounter a few minor hiccups. Crashing the entire floating city into Blackrock Mountain during Ragnaros’ Fire Festival wasn’t planned, but when life hands them lava, the League of E.V.I.L. gets creative.
- Move over Ragnaros, it’s time for the… FIRE FEST-E.V.I.L.![1]

- Rafaam: Well, as long as we're stuck here, might as well have some fun. Welcome, lackeys and villains, to the Fire Fest-E.V.I.L.! Dungeon crawl through Blackrock Mountain with the League of E.V.I.L.! Let's show these elements who's the REAL king of the mountain! Next, test your skills with a random deck, but there's a twist! If you are defeated, you get a copy of your opponent's cards! Your reward for all this villainy? Behold a mountain of spoils, ours for the taking! Waahahahaha! Who's going to stop us?
- Ragnaros: SUFFER, TRESPASSER!
- Rafaam: Oh, right. I forgot about this guy. Looks like we're going to need some more villains. In fact, you'll need to team up with your entire tavern to put out THIS fire! With every Blackrock boss we defeat together, more cards from our future in Uldum will be revealed! There's only 25 million to conquer, SO GET TO WORK! Be quick about it! The Fire Fest-E.V.I.L. is only for a limited time... or until Dr. Boom can get Dalaran unstuck.[6]
