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.
