New and Highlighted Mechanics in Saviors of Uldum

  • Reborn - Cards with the reborn keyword resurrect the first time they die and return with 1 Health. In total, 18 cards have this mechanic.
  • Plagues - These are powerful cards which have deadly effects. The "villain" classes each receive them, 4 having board-wide effects.
  • Quests - Finally return to Hearthstone! Last seen in Journey to Un'Goro, these are 1-cost legendary spells that start in your opening hand if they are in your deck.
  • Highlander / Singleton - If your deck has no duplicates, do a cool thing! We last saw this mechanic in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan.

Year of the Dragon Continues

There is no set rotation occurring for standard as this only happens at the start of a new Hearthstone year. Your pool of standard cards is now as follows:


Saviors of Uldum Arena Rotation

Unlike standard, arena is receiving a rotation with the expansion's launch. Your new rotation is as follows.

Reminder that quests are NOT available in the arena drafting pool.

  • Nice, that's a cool one. You just got a free Quest, have fun!

    • Thank you. The description made me think I had to do an immediate quest. 

  • You just got it, everyone gets a free Quest Legendary card when they log in for the first time after the expansion launches.

    • Aaah cool thanks.

  • Already hating the expansion lol, facing nothing but RNG Mage and RNG Rogue. Not fun on a competitive level :(

    • I don't think there's much of a competitive level just yet lol. It's been live for just over 4 hours so people are going to be trying out all kinds of dumb shit for the next couple days.

  • 102 packs opened

    Shaman quest for log in, Golden Bran for pre-purchase golden legendary. Golden Vessina and King Phaoris from packs, regular hunter quest, priest quest, Dark Pharaoh Tekahan, Octosari, and Colossus of the Moon, so not bad on legendary cards. 19 epics and 2315 dust. I've certainly had worse luck from pre-orders.

  • 103 packs

    missing 29 cards from the set (assuming i got at least 1 of each)

    got warlock quest as log on =[ and golden sir finley for my preorder =[

    unpacked mage, paladin, shaman, and warrior quests and anka

    so unpacked 5 legendarys

    didn't get priest stuff i wanted =[

    • Why the long face, man?  5 legendaries from 103 packs is statistically pretty good, and (with the exception of Finley) they all sound like exotic, interesting cards--great for throwing together an experimental deck around now, before the meta starts to stabilize and everyone starts net-decking.  Worst case scenario: you goof around for a couple of weeks playing oddball decks that noone expects, then dust your legendaries for +4000 dust.  Although I'd be very hesitant to dust those quests--that Warlock Quest that you frowny-emoji'd in particular.  Sure, its probably the most difficult to build a deck around, but that card has some real potential, man.  Check out some of Brian Kibler's pre-release videos--he's had a blast playing it!  

      Not unpacking your priest legendaries--sure, that's a shame, but you can always craft them, right?  :-)

      You gotta enjoy what you got!  It's release day!  New toys!  Unstable meta!  Stop worrying about what you could have high-rolled and go have some fun!

  • 121 packs
