HSTD's Saviors of Uldum Giveaway! Win One Of The Ten Standard Pre-Purchase Bundles of 50 Packs!
I don’t believe that it makes any difference. You might just need to add some random profile info and photos so it looks “legitimate” to Gleam.

Not in this giveaway, no. You can still buy the Mega (80 packs) bundle, but we aren’t giving those away. You can still participate – and in case you win, can share the 50 packs bundle with your friend, family member or whoever you want.
And just an advice for the future – there’s zero upside in pre-ordering so quickly. You can wait until the very last day before the expansion and it will still be the same (price and what you get doesn’t change). In the meantime, there are lots of giveaways going on and you can always win in one of them ๐

Sorry about that, it’s just the most efficient way to do a giveaway that everyone can participate in.
If you’re worried about giving away your data, you can always create separate accounts on the social media just for giveaways ๐
Saviors of Uldum Card Reviews #4 - Diseased Vulture, Into the Fray, Pressure Plate, Frightened Flunky, High Priest Amet, Generous Mummy, Grandmummy And More!
It was already pretty long and I didn’t want to add even more to it! Yes, Star Aligner synergy is a thing, but you need Coin to consistently pull it off in Standard if I’m correct (Amet + Wisp + Coin + Aligner), which makes the combo very unreliable. The boar combo just seems better, but hey, Star Aligner is always a nice meme card! ๐

We just got two! Like I’m always saying, they will eventually have to reveal all the cards, so even if your favorite class is not getting any reveals, just wait a few days. Reveal season is not that long after all.
Grandmummy
That’s the worst way you can evaluate a card. Like, SN1P-SN4P is not “effectively a 4/5 minion” (even though I’ve seen him called one many times when he was announced)… It can’t hit for 4, it doesn’t add +4/+5 on Magnetize etc. Summing stats of minion + Deathrattles/buffs/other effect it provides is very misleading. The stats are often delayed, spread across multiple bodies etc. You can’t just add them together and call it a day. An extreme example of it would be calling Devilsaur Egg a 3 mana 5/8. It just doesn’t work like that.
In this case, if your opponent has a 4/4 minion on the board, you can’t kil lit with this card and won’t have a 4/1 on the board left. If you have no other minion when it dies, the buff is wasted. Heck, you can’t even kill your opponent’s high priority 2-drop (e.g. Sorcerer’s Apprentice) on curve. How is that a “4/6” (which is really 5 if you add all the stats)?
High Priest Amet
Edit: Updated the card with new translation. The previous one was most likely wrong. Apologizes to everyone, that’s what happens when Blizzard doesn’t send people English card to reveal on top of one in their own language.
Edit 2: Official English version is up. No more confusion. Sorry again for posting the wrong version at first!

August 6. They were going for simultaneous releases in the last few sets. Should be out around evening EU (18-20 is my guess).
Mogu Cultist
Of course not. You obviously can’t summon uncollectible minions.
It would be like getting one of the Marin’s/Togwaggle’s Treasures from Magic Trick ๐
Pressure Plate
Most likely spell (Conjurer’s Calling) will resolve first and duplicate Giant before this triggers.
That’s because it says “After”. Secret would go off first if it said “When”, like Paladin’s Never Surrender.
At least that’s how it SHOULD work, but everyone knows that interactions in HS aren’t always 100% consistent :p

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. But I probably won’t review for specifically for Wild. I haven’t hit Legend in Wild in over a year (mostly playing it casually), I don’t really know the Wild meta etc. Plus I’m barely managing to keep up with Standard reviews already :p

You won’t get adventure with pre-purchase. It will either be free like Dungeon Run or you’ll have to pay for it separately like with Dalaran Heist. They haven’t announced it yet, but given that they’ve said that it will be as big as Heist (with some new additions), then I’d assume that you will have to pay.
We should most likely learn more about the adventure 2-3 weeks after expansion’s launch.
Splitting Axe
Luck you! Here’s mine: https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/desert-obelisk/ ๐
Splitting Axe
Did it, though? I imagine it would be hard to fit in Wild, and adding extra Basic totems to the board might unnecessarily flood it if you aren’t careful so you won’t have board space for other stuff.
I honestly think that it’s too weak for Wild Even Shaman. Maybe when Flametongue was still there, but now it’s a questionable. Right now Totem Golem is the only thing you want to copy, and you only run two so you don’t always drop them before T4, and it can also die before you play Axe. And even if you pull it off, it’s not a game-winning play, it’s just a better Arathi Weaponsmith. Copying Basic Totems is not great, because you don’t have that much pay-off for them (e.g. no Bloodlust).

There’s a link to the reveal schedule below most recently revealed cards. Didn’t want to clog the post by putting a whole reveal schedule in there (it’s already long).
I’d like to integrate reveal schedule to the main page somehow, but not for this expansion. I’ll talk to the devs and see what we can do next time!
Hunter's Pack
I mean, you can use the terms however you want if others understand you, but when it comes to the generally accepted definition, turning mana into more resources is called “value”.
Value = more resources
Tempo = more board impact
Fixed it! Sorry, it was a long day. So many cards to cover, so little time ๐
