Saviors of Uldum Official Blog Post
Quote From Blizzard Now that the magical floating city of Dalaran is firmly within his kleptomaniacal clutches, Arch-Villain Rafaam and his crew of notorious ne’er-do-wells have travelled south to Uldum - the land of hidden treasures, plagues, mummies, and (thanks to the League of E.V.I.L.’s arrival) MAYHEM!
Though their ultimate goals are still shrouded in mystery, the next phase of their plan appears to be well underway. Now, if only there were a motley crew of courageous treasure hunters up to the task of thwarting these misguided malcontents…
Evil may be on the rise in the dusty deserts of Uldum, but hope is here in the form of the League of Explorers! Join Reno, Elise, Brann, and Sir Finley as they unearth treasures, battle bad guys, and take on the oh-so-simple task of saving the world in Hearthstone’s newest expansion, Saviors of Uldum!
Launching worldwide on August 6, Saviors of Uldum is Hearthstone’s newest expansion, and the next installment in our multi-expansion story spanning the entire Year of the Dragon. In Saviors of Uldum you’ll be introduced to 135 scorching hot new cards, added game features, and brand-new exciting mechanics!
EXPLORE THE SANDS OF ULDUM
REBORN
The magic of Azeroth’s Titans and Tol’vir has seeped into the dunes of Uldum’s ancient burial tombs. Now, death is more of a suggestion for the restless crypt-dwellers and temple-crawlers found within.
New Keyword – Reborn
Minions with the Reborn Keyword will return to life the first time they’re destroyed, but with 1 remaining Health.
PLAGUES
The League of E.V.I.L. will stop at nothing to see their dastardly plans come to fruition… even if there’s a little collateral damage along the way.Introducing – Plagues
Plagues are spells of ancient power wielded by the 5 League of E.V.I.L. classes (Priest, Shaman, Warrior, Warlock, and Rogue.) These cards wreak havoc indiscriminately, affecting every Minion on the board, so it’s best to be the one who decides when they’re unleashed.
QUESTS
No matter if they’re working to further the League of E.V.I.L.’s nefarious goals, or in cahoots with Reno’s ramshackle rapscallions to dismantle those despicable evil-doers, every adventurer worth their sand needs a Quest…Re-Introducing – Quests
As with existing Quest cards, these Legendary 1-Mana cards start in your hand and, once played, their progress will track above your Hero portrait. After your quest is complete, you’ll be immediately rewarded with a game-changing new Hero Power
MORE NEW AND FAMILIAR MECHANICS
As the dunes churn and cards previously hidden under sands of Uldum are revealed in the coming weeks, you’ll be introduced to some cards with exciting and powerful effects, as well as some familiar returning mechanics. Stay tuned to Hearthstone on social media to find out when new cards will be revealed!

Comments
She’s the only night elf in the squad so prob the best fit for druid
"Kobalds & Catacombs"
*Kobolds and Catacombs
So Rogue gets a boardclear too?
I want Reno Jackson to sweep me off my feet and carry me off in his burly arms
Hey everyone, they updated the card art of Secretkeeper in the new update!!! The flavor text too!
We're going to have a dedicated patch post shortly. There's some other great goodies too.
I just realized all of the updated card art was done in order to remove anything related to gore or nudity and replace them with family-friendly images. Kinda disappointing tbh.
All the new cards have just been released too!
They are really cracking down on over sexualized art by completely changing Succubus , and changing mistress of pain ,windfury harpy & secret keeper .
Violence oriented art as well.
I'm not opposed to this.
Friendship with Heartpwn ended
now Out of Cards is my new friend
Aww, I'm not a fan of quests but they seem alright. I like the Shaman totem, it'll be a challenge to keep it on board more than 1 turn 😁
Plot Twist Elekk quest warlock incoming.
That song is addicting.
I like how they combined Quests with new Hero powers, that way we can have new hero powers without Hero cards :)
Interesting and should have some good flavor!
And for the guy who asked if reborn minions come back damaged, or simply 1 health max, looks like damaged.
Yess new expansion incoming
Now Priest might return to be a class LUL
So Reno is now just Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura from Predator.
He ain't got TIME to bleed.
/for all you Bronze Dragonflight Reno conspiracy buffs
Wow I knew they were going to print plague of death someday, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Priest will become annoying again.
So hyped for this! I love the flavor!
Questing Explorer is a cutie.
[Hearthstone Card (supreme archeology) Not Found] might lead me into Warlock playing through Plot Twist.
I can't resist the flavor.
Even tho I am not entirely sure the reward is worth it in Wild...
EDIT: the song is a killer!
