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!

His hat was a hunter spell sooooooo...
We found the voice of the dead lady banker.
so druid quest is basically spend minimum 4 mana and 4 turns then all choose one are both? that seems pretty poweful
Well 5, plus of course -1 card in your opening hand/deck and also no hero power anymore.
Plague of Death is a card I was waiting to be made for 3 years.
Btw: paying €80 just so you can get new skin sucks.
OMG Elise is wonderful! I don't like to spend so much money for packs (or better, any money for the packs) but this time I'm really thinking to take it
We better have some Hellraiser references for the Puzzle Box and Jar Dealer.
Elise confirms my World of Warcraft theory: WoW's Elven women are clannish when it comes to beauty products, and can also be identified by nail polish.
Blood Elf - Red
Night Elf - Purple
High Elf - Blue
(any other elves in WoW, I quit after Mists)
Looks interesting :)
How come i keep getting server error500?
Pog
Can't wait to play with the new cards! also jean-claude van jackson!!
I really hope you are all as Hyped as I am, Thanks blizz!!
Questing Explorer looks so strong what the hell. And it's a neutral too.
Plague Cards - The five villain classes all get a special plague card that can clear the board.
I just read this. Superb, this means that warlock would get an AoE (hopefully a good one), that would allow us to make a viable control deck in standard.
I only have two questions. Should I just buy both Pre Orders and get 130 packs, a new Hero, a new Card Back and two Golden Legendary Cards for £130 and should I craft Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron in double Golden to go with my Golden Renounce Darknesses?
I just did. So yes you should absolutely do so also, so I feel less bad about it.
Kobalds of Catacombs :D You did it again, Blizz! Just rename it at this point :D
So, will we be able to play 2 quest in a single deck?
Hopefully these new hero powers can outwit the current OP hero powers *Cough*Dr Boom*Cough*.
Warlock will get more interesting the more cards that gets revealed, I mean it is "Rafaam Themed" after all.
And if Warlock doesn't become meta at the end of this year, then you can say Rafaam failed us, cause he is supposed to be the strongest one, right?
I have high hopes for this Rafaam themed Warlock decks.
Shouldn't Elise be a mage though? She's holding some kind of spell tome, isn't she?!
Her attack emote is Aluth neladar! which is a Druidic attack spell
