Alexstrasza is there to help reduce the damage threshold against warriors, to allow combos with some missing pieces and to give Jepetto Joybuzz a higher chance to pull Malygos, since you won't necessarily pull both with Juicy Psychmelon. I don't think it will be essential though!
Yeah this expansion has given us some gems regarding cards and their flavor.
For what concerns the card, it should be a nice addition to a Zoo/Midrange Priest: all there's left to see is if said archetype will be viable or not and, today, it won't since Priest doesn't have anything "broken" or a clear win condition.
We stil miss a bunch of class card tho (including the quest), so it may be too early to judge
I sometimes also have hard times to draw the combo entirely. I decided to swap out Novice Engineer and i added Cinderstorm instead. It is quite helpful if you do not draw (or you loose somehow) one of your combo pieces (except for Archmage Vargoth).
Grandmummy (3): The buffs are definitely nice and the card is a bit annoying, might also make you clear other minions so the wont get buffed, so it might end up performing a lot better than i give it credit for, but the stat-line is just horrible and the buffs come in very slowly.
It's never the technical bits, which are tricky. It's always the legal aspects -- they'll likely need to have an arrangement with the HSReplay crew in place before they can do this. But I'm sure Flux can make this happen!
Another thing that could block this of course is if it does not suit their business model -- eg. if they need some software to be running on your pc/phone for ads, gathering data or what-not. Then it's a no-go and we need to wait for a bit longer -- til their stuff gets ready...
But first of all , take a second and appreciate the card name puns gentlemen, and how they just did it again, and bring together artwork with the name. Its pretty accurate
And once again, this is why the Paladin quest should've been the Priest one. Nice little card, let's see if any Priest deck will actually be playable enough in Standard to see this appear anywhere
So weak against card generating decks like Mage or Rogue or in wild druids too, it also can trigger OTK decks for your opponent much faster if it's on board on wrong turn.
And you will most likely not play Generous Mummy, cause you just made your opponents hand way cheaper for at least 1-2 turn.
Even Millhouse Manastorm seems more viable cause his effect is only for one turn and only spells too, even better if he is summoned than Generous Mummy.
If Generous Mummy gets stalled for more than 2 turns, your are in a bad position
I can only see this go aggressive at turn 3(2 with coin), and hope that your opponent doesn't abuse it.
Best case scenario is if gets silenced at same turn or ASAP
My suggestion to this site is to allow linking to hsreplay account. Very simple structure at (https://hsreplay.net/api/v1/collection/?region=<RegionID>&account_lo=<ID>).
Lot's of people would be using HDT anyhow, and integration this will be a much smaller task than creating a separate syncin software.
Agreed! I am using HDT as well, but mainly bc I like the interface more during playing (and some extensions are super useful). A sync with hsreplay would do the trick for me if it can be implemented as easily as you say
If you think you have the skill set to pump out some great content people will enjoy, even if it isn't always consistent, we may still have room! There have been a lot of applications so far, it's likely we'll be okay bringing on a few people with less than perfect schedules that just want to help out since we'll have plenty of weekly contributors as well. =D
Seriously though, thanks everyone for the interest so far!
This card reminds me of Haunted Creeper a bit a sticky 1/2 minion with deathrattle, if you play sticky minions with reborn like this card you are getting 2/3 of body and +2/+2 in buffs that's a total of 4/5 stats for 2 mana which is a lot actually, also priest now more than ever wants sticky minions to put Extra Arms on those.
Interesting card in a zoo priest deck (if it could exist one day). For two mana you get a 1/2 and a 1/1 bodies and a +2/+2 buff split between one or two other minions. The stats and the potential are there, but is the support though? I remember the time, when this archtype was somewhat popular in standard thanks to Shadow Ascendant, but I don't think, that this deck will appear in wild just because people can do crazier things than just buffing their minions slightly.
Priest in Saviors of Uldum
Well, 2 new Priest cards have been revealed:
High priest enables a few OTK combos, so we may have a win condition here.
Uldum Card Reveal - Generous Mummy
There's a few cards that summon 3-Cost minions so this certainly weakens the pool
Double Combo Druid [SoU Theorycraft]

Highlander Mill Mage (Saviors of Uldum edition)
I sometimes also have hard times to draw the combo entirely. I decided to swap out Novice Engineer and i added Cinderstorm instead. It is quite helpful if you do not draw (or you loose somehow) one of your combo pieces (except for Archmage Vargoth).
If you loose/do not draw Molten Reflection, use Zola the Gorgon on Archmage Vargoth instead.
Saviors of Uldum: Arena Impact
- NEW CARD -
1=Excellent, 2=Good, 3=Average, 4=Poor, 5=Terrible

Will there be a Sync Software like InnKeeper?

Frost festival
Maybe im confusing it with Winters Veil lol. But either way, so far no info about Frost Festival this year, as Flux said.
Uldum Priest Card Reveal - Grandmummy
If standard priest doesn't exist again I'm fairly sure this can at least see play in wild. This is 2 mana 4/5 idk but that's gotta be good.

Nice package filler. Looking forward to opening 20 of those in 50 packs.

I'd guess not as I would think that the Deathrattle goes off before the reborn minion returns to the field. Might be wrong though.
Frost festival
I don't remember there being a frost festival last year - although I could be wrong.
Wasn't it just a one-off event on the run-up to the Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion release two years ago?
Uldum Priest Card Reveal - Grandmummy
Does it buff its own reborn? :)
Uldum Priest Legendary Reveal - High Priest Amet
If you change PW shield for second boar + another topsy it's 56. But that is not guaranteed either no Kappa
Uldum Priest Card Reveal - Grandmummy
I love the art. I'm going to feel so bad when I have to remove this from my opponent's board or when mine are destroyed.
Uldum Card Reveal - Generous Mummy
U need to activate his effect, in crazy meme combo deck with some new meme otk things, it active on one turn and work with generated cards
but still meme nad cardo
Uldum Priest Legendary Reveal - High Priest Amet
Did someone say Stonetusk Boar otk?
