We Built a Quest Deck for Every Class in Saviors of Uldum

Recommended Posts

44832-saviors-of-uldum-card-reveal-wrapp

Put your free Quest card to good use with our day 1 builds. Including the Rogue Quest. And the Shaman Quest. And even the Warrior Quest.

 

It's Saviors of Uldum release day and you've probably just logged into the game and been gifted a free Legendary Quest card. Yippee! Free stuff! But what exactly are you supposed to do with this thing anyway?

Worry not. I've spent the last few days immersed in a sea of card reviews, theorycrafting sessions and pre-release streams, and I'm pretty sure I've cracked at least a couple of these Quests.

All of this comes with a hefty disclaimer, though - DO NOT make any hasty crafting decisions based on the decks featured in this article if you're short on dust! Theorycrafted decks are risky business at the best of times, as new expansion metagames are always unpredictable. Furthermore, let's be honest, some of these new Quests probably aren't very good (looking at you, Garrosh). If you've opened a dud, by all means give it a go, and we think you'll enjoy our take, but don't throw too much dust at it if you can't afford to. You'll thank us in a couple of weeks.

That aside, let's move on to the fun bit.

 

Druid: Untapped Potential

druid.png1druid.png

Quest Phaoris Druid

Druid definitely got one of the more promising Quests in Saviors of Uldum. While it initially looked like there may not be enough strong Choose One cards to justify Untapped Potential's steep Mana cost, the reveals of Hidden Oasis and Oasis Surger went a long way towards improving our hopes. Now that we have the full picture, the pattern of play becomes clear: Quest Druid will turtle a bit in the earlygame, dealing with what it can while floating Mana, then turn the corner on turn 6 or 7 with a powerful Choose Both card (and perhaps an Anubisath Defender too). From there it should be fairly simple to close out the game thanks to the sheer power of a permanent Fandral Staghelm aura.

You'll need some extra muscle to grind out removal-heavy decks like Control Warrior. Enter King Phaoris. Since so many of our Choose Both cards are expensive spells, the Ramkahen king is a natural choice of finisher. And if one isn't enough to get the job done, we can always repeat it with Flobbidinous Floop.

Potential meta-breaker?
Yes. Druid's Quest is one of the easiest to complete consistently and has one of the strongest rewards.

 

Hunter: Unseal the Vault

hunter.png1hunter.png

Quest Mech Hunter

Hunter's Quest has one of the steepest conditions of the bunch - 20 minions is a lot! - but there are a wide variety of ways to go about tackling it. We've seen a lot of beast-focused lists built around Master's Call, and some that also feature a Secret package (Snake Trap and Hyena Alpha both work quite well with the Quest). We decided to showcase a different approach, built around an existing, powerful deck: Mech Hunter.

From Mecharoo to Replicating Menace to Boommaster Flark, it turns out that Mech Hunter is absolutely swimming in tokens. With this many minions-per-card, it should be fairly easy to complete the quest and begin applying pressure with a free Savage Roar every turn.

Potential meta-breaker?
Hard to say. There are a variety of ways to build the Hunter Quest, so even if this version falls flat, another list might find a place in the metagame.

 

Mage: Raid the Sky Temple

mage.png1mage.png

Quest Cyclone Mage

If the linked deck looks familiar, it's because we took a standard Cyclone Mage list from Rise of Shadows and slapped the Quest in it. If you want to cast a lot of spells at once, there's no better deck for the job.

It's possible that the Mage Quest will find a home in a slightly different deck, but wherever it ends up it's sure to be complemented by Mana Cyclone and Sorcerer's Apprentice. The synergy is too good to pass up.

Potential meta-breaker?
Seems unlikely. While Cyclone Mage can complete Raid the Sky Temple pretty fast, it's questionable whether or not it's worthwhile, especially since playing it on turn 1 reduces the size of your hand for Mountain Giant

 

Paladin: Making Mummies

paladin.png1paladin.png

Quest Mech Paladin

Paladin's Quest is straightforward to complete but asks us to play some fairly mediocre minions to do so. The payoff is fairly good though, and has great synergy with the Mech Paladin gameplan of buffing minions with Magnetic and resurrecting them with Kangor's Endless Army.

It's hard to imagine going any other direction with this quest, and its viability will always be limited by the pool of Reborn minions available for it to play (which is unlikely to improve, as Reborn is a set-specific keyword). We've put as many of them as possible in the deck, because getting Emperor Wraps online consistently is much better than waiting around. (We stopped short of Generous Mummy, though...)

Potential meta-breaker?
Quest Paladin looks like a one-dimensional deck, but could have a niche as a Control/Bomb Warrior counter. Likely to be low-tier but potentially playable.

 

Priest: Activate the Obelisk

priest.png1priest.png

Quest Resurrect Priest

Activate the Obelisk is another Quest that can be completed in a variety of ways. In our build we've opted to focus as much as possible on healing our minions rather than our face, as this will help us maintain tempo and develop an advantage to press with Obelisk's Eye. (There's also just not always damage on your face to heal up, as Lucentbark Druid fans are well aware of.)

A few resurrect effects round out the deck, ensuring that you won't run out of minions to buff later in the game.

Potential meta-breaker?
A dark horse. Zetalot, a well-known Priest specialist, had good things to say about the Priest Quest during pre-release events.

 

Rogue: Bazaar Burglary

rogue.png1rogue.png

Quest Tess Rogue

Rogue was already playing a variety of Burgle effects to activate Vendetta, so Bazaar Burglary seems like a safe bet. Four Quest notches looked like a tall order when we first saw the card, but the addition of Clever Disguise makes the whole thing look much more feasible.

Our build includes Heistbaron Togwaggle and Tess Greymane as powerful lategame haymakers - the Quest reward is powerful, but won't win the game on its own. We've also included a copy of Blade Flurry, a card that actually looks quite viable when we have an infinite supply of Shadowblades.

Potential meta-breaker?
Definitely. It doesn't take too much modification of existing rogue decks to make good use of Bazaar Burglary, and it makes control matchups look much more manageable.

 

Shaman: Corrupt the Waters

shaman.png1shaman.png

Quest Token Shaman

Probably the Quest most hyped by the community during reveal season, and for good reason. Shaman has a huge variety of strong Battlecry minions, including a powerful Lackey package centred around Weaponized WaspCorrupt the Waters seems like a strong card, so building a deck around it is more a case of "how" than "if".

We've opted for a broadly token-centric approach that uses the Heart of Vir'naal mostly for board. We've also kept a small Thunderhead package in the deck - while most of the Overload synergy cards don't advance or benefit from your Quest, they're the best tools Shaman has to fight back against aggression.

One inclusion here which we haven't seen elsewhere is Witchwood Piper. Fetching Sludge Slurper is great for getting your Quest completed, and as a Battlecry minion itself Piper benefits from the Heart of Vir'naal. We think there's a decent chance it becomes a staple in the deck.

Potential meta-breaker?
For sure. Quest Shaman was one of the best-performing decks in the pre-release Inn-vitational tournament, largely thanks to the efforts of BoarControl, whose list you can check out here.

 

Warlock: Supreme Archaeology

warlock.png1warlock.png

Quest Plot Twist Warlock

Alright, maybe I overhyped this one a bit. But I still like it! Plot Twist Warlock was a nearly-there deck in Rise of Shadows and Supreme Archaeology fits right in. Plus, Khartut Defender is a great addition to the deck, providing an extra source of healing that synergizes well with your Dollmaster Dorian and Fel Lord Betrug combos.

The featured list could change a lot depending on how aggressive the metagame is - you'll want to add more big, greedy minions at the first sign of a slow meta since they work so well with your Quest reward.

Potential meta-breaker?
My credibility is riding on it. (Probably not though.)

 

Warrior: Hack the System

warrior.png1warrior.png

Quest Bomb Warrior

In my humble opinion, this is the worst Quest and the most difficult to complete consistently. It was a real challenge to build around, but I think we arrived at something respectable.

We run six weapons in total plus two copies of Upgrade!, which will hopefully be enough attacks to both complete the quest and refresh Anraphet's Core a couple of times. The rest of the deck is a midrange take on Bomb Warrior, fast enough to like swinging weapons at face but slow enough that it should live to see the Bombs explode. It helps that Wrenchcalibur contributes to the tally of weapons needed to complete the Quest consistently. WrenchcaliburLivewire Lance and Sul'thraze all have great synergy with Upgrade! and Captain Greenskin, so look out for those power plays.

Potential meta-breaker?
Highly unlikely, especially while Dr. Boom, Mad Genius exists as a superior option.

 

That's all of them! Some of these are definitely more competitive than others, but all of them are sure to be great fun. As we said above, be careful about crafting cards to make these decks, as all are unproven and some, or even most, may turn out to be nonviable in the Saviors of Uldum metagame. Still, we hope you enjoy trying them out! Let us know how it goes in the comments, and be sure to show us your own takes on Quest Decks in Saviors of Uldum.

In my next post I'll be looking at Zephrys the Great decks. One for each class, including oddballs like Priest. Stay tuned!

I'll rebound on this with first impressions, both from personal attempts and watching streamers go at it:

- Druid: too slow, the "Choose One" cards often being clunky until the quest is completed. This needs some serious refining, but it looks promising.

- Hunter: Solid, if one-dimensional. Fight for the board and keep it at all costs.

- Mage: Too slow for now. Very strong in Control vs. Control matchups, but otherwise a liability.

- Paladin: No frickin' idea. Didn't pull it and everyone and their mothers are playing Murloc Paladin when they play pally (and that one looks like it'll be Pirate Warrior 2.0 in this meta).

- Priest: Haven't managed to make it work, nor seen anyone get steady results with it yet. Wait and see, don't craft it yet.

- Rogue: Quite easy to pull off and good value over the entire length of the game, really strong.

- Shaman: Hilariously OP, best quest of the 9 by far

- Warlock: I hate to say this, but it's absolute garbage. You need to go Plot Twist lock otherwise it's unplayable, and you get absolutely wrecked by any fast deck. 

- Warrior: Surprisingly decent if you put in some armor gain, a power-Sul'thraze turn can turn the game around very quickly if you have enough HP/armor to pull it off. Sure, Herr Doktor is much more powerful, but I wouldn't count this quest out just yet.

I'm happy that quests are making a return, and do not seem too strong this time around (though I might be wrong).

Quest rogue is working so well! Went from 15 to 11 with losing 2 or 3 matches. The only decks I had trouble with were control warrior due to fatigue and mirror matches.

so far i have tried quest shaman, druid and priest (gonna try mage next). shaman is fun and good for now. priest quest is op but your deck needs some sort of aoe removal otherwise it will outright lose to most decks. druid deck looks good but i havent had any success with it. so far i generally like the new quests :)

Generally agree with Keizoku, some other notes from my experience;

I think the better way to go for Druid is token druid, I don't think King Phaoris works with the deck though, those big spells will likely to be played before the King. Rest of the deck seems solid but I don't exactly know how it is supposed to win except a good King. Anyways, the quest is easily one of the top 2.

I think a better card as an answer to control deck is King Phaoris for mage. Class already has powerful big spells, and Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron might be an okay addition.

Priest quest is really slow, I mean, it is easy to complete with all the mass healing cards but the reward is underwhelming. I tried it with a buff deck with High Priest Amet and Zerek, Master Cloner, didn't work. I've seen someone playing it in a resurrect deck, didn't work there either.

I disagree on rogue quest, I got it for free as well. I still think the reward is underwhelming. 

Agree on quest shaman, but I think it true potential lies in wild, in a list like jade/evolve shaman. It is pure madness.

Warrior Quest is worse than I thought it would be. I tried to make it an aggro deck, then a tempo deck with some late game. Sul'thraze combo sounds awesome, but it is super inconsistent. I am impressed by the 6 mana minion which gives 5 armor while attacking though, also works with Sul'thraze

This is true, without a couple of AOE's it's very vulnerable - though when it works, it works very well.

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      AAECAaoICunQBMORBKeNBK/ZBNnsA/rsA4qSBfuRBYfUBKrZBArG+QOs7QS12QTgtQS22QTblATGzgTj9gOGoQX4oAUA
      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.
      Deck code / link: 
      AAECAaoIFKjuA6bvA4b6A6SBBMORBMeyBOm2BOnQBJjUBLjZBJfvBKTvBNWyBODtBIqSBdWyBPuRBfSgBbzwBODtBArG+QPTgASVkgTblATgtQSWtwSywQTFzgS12QS22QQA
      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:
      Deck code / link: 
      AECAaoICunQBMORBKeNBK/ZBNnsA/rsA4qSBfuRBYfUBKrZBArG+QOs7QS12QTgtQS22QTblATGzgTj9gOGoQX4oAUA
      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.

      March of the Lich King, set to release on December 6th, is Hearthstone's third expansion in the Year of the Hydra. Blizzard gave us an early sneak peek at some of the Warrior cards revealed today that we discuss in our latest post.
      Today, we'd like to dive into the Warrior cards revealed by Inven Global.

      Pretty straightforward card. The effect gives us much more value the larger the minion is. It gets really scary with the potential follow-up with Bulk Up giving you this massively overstated minion in hand twice. Or If you can get this on Mor’shan Elite, that’s another nice double dip of value.

      Honestly, this feels like it was tailor-made to be the ideal target of Last Stand, as your opponent can’t easily get rid of it with cheap removal. It lets you use your stats immediately by letting you trade in and stabilize with a big taunt. It might not be too shabby on its own, as the 3 effects make it an annoying wall most opponents will be forced to trade into.

      Wow, they’re really not holding back with hand disruption this set. One (nearly) guaranteed discard is pretty impactful and becomes a must-remove card in any control matchup. This card will absolutely crush the hearts of some Big Spell Mages in the coming months, that’s for sure.
      It should be noted that this discard, the devs have confirmed to us that it will trigger your opponent’s “Whenever you discard a card” effects. So try and clear a Discard Warlock's Tiny Knight of Evil and perhaps try to play around having Suffocating Shadows or Soul Barrage trigger in that matchup. 

      To round off the control toolbox from this expansion, we’ve got a pretty unique effect here. Hopefully, this doesn’t end up being too easy to play around for savvy opponents. You could pre-empt this by running out a Blademaster Okani first and baiting out your opponent into playing a small spell first. But still, while the effect will only be as game-changing as your opponent’s last spell, getting any meaningful spell off seems pretty nice.
      Putting it all together, we have put together an interesting Taunt Control Warrior decklist to try out:  AAECAQcMmu0D784EvIoE2fkDqIoEiN8E784E0qwEmu0DlJUEzJIFiKAECcWSBZTtA47tA5+fBImgBIagBJDUBMSSBcuSBQA= . Slotting in Varian seems like a natural addition to any deck with Silverfury Stalwart and Tealan hops along to be the one divine shield minion you might want to have in your control deck. Rokara and Remornia are just good cards and they’ll go a long way to having your Mor’shan Elite’s active. The rest of the deck is the classic Control Warrior shell that will hopefully give you the armor and removal needed to live long enough to throw down your double-stated taunted win conditions.
      https://hearthstone.blizzard.com/deckbuilder?deckcode=AAECAQcMmu0D784EvIoE2fkDqIoEiN8E784E0qwEmu0DlJUEzJIFiKAECcWSBZTtA47tA5%2BfBImgBIagBJDUBMSSBcuSBQA%3D

      Murder at Castle Nathria is Hearthstone's latest expansion. It adds a new Infuse keyword that absorbs anima from your friendly minions, a new card type named Locations, and more.

      Murder at Castle Nathria
      Hearthstone’s Newest Expansion

      The Shadowlands is normally where souls go after they die, so when someone dies in the Shadowlands, that’s a special kind of mystery. Sire Denathrius invited 10 of his counterparts and enemies to Castle Nathria for a dinner party so that he could address the malicious rumors that he is hoarding anima, the life-energy that is drained from tortured souls and used to power the Shadowlands. But just after the festivities started, Sire Denathrius was found dead! It seems a gaggle of enemies does not a good dinner party make. Now the illustrious Murloc Holmes, and his trusty sidekick Watfin, have been called to solve the case. Scour new Location cards, follow the trail of Infused minions, question the 10 Legendary suspects, and help determine who committed Murder at Castle Nathria!   

      Murder at Castle Nathria will launch worldwide on August 2 with 135 new collectible cards! You can find the full Murder at Castle Nathria reveal schedule, and all cards that have already been revealed, by visiting the card library here. Check back frequently—the list will be updated with new cards as they’re revealed!
      Ten Suspicious Suspects
      Sire Denathrius had a lot of enemies. And it just so happens that 10 of them were under his roof at the time of his demise! Each class will have a Legendary minion that is a prime suspect in Sire Denathrius’s murder. They all have the means and the motive, but it is up to you and Murloc Holmes to determine who is guilty.



      New Keyword: Infuse
      Anima, drawn from wayward souls, powers all the Shadowlands—and those who consume it! Cards with the Infuse keyword sit in your hand and absorb anima from your friendly minions as they die. After the specified number of friendly minions die while the Infuse card is in your hand, the Infuse card transforms into a more powerful version. Infuse your cards to unlock their full power!

      New Card Type: Locations
      Castle Nathria is like no place Hearthstone has ever been before. Explore the castle grounds through the all-new Location card type! Locations are played onto the battlefield for an initial cost, and then have an ability that can be activated for free on your turns, each time for a powerful effect. Each activation costs 1 Durability and has a 1-turn Cooldown. Every class gets their own Location card in Castle Nathria which represents where they claim their suspect was at the time of the murder, and synergizes with the themes of the class.

      Arena Rotation

      When United in Stormwind launches on August 3, the Arena will include cards from the following sets:
      United in Stormwind Forged in the Barrens Wailing Caverns Mini-Set Madness at the Darkmoon Faire Darkmoon Races Mini-Set The Witchwood Saviors of Uldum Rastakhan's Rumble Core Book of Heroes Illidan – Coming August 10

      After regaining his freedom, Illidan was eager to prove himself once and for all. But even as he journeyed far from his homeland and joined forces with new allies, the thirst for power never left him. It was only a matter of time before it interfered with his judgment, resulting in more dire consequences than ever before…Defeating all 8 bosses in this linear adventure will reward 1 Demon Hunter pack, containing only Demon Hunter cards from Standard.
      United in Stormwind Rewards Track & Tavern Pass
      When the Rewards Track refreshes when United in Stormwind launches, all players will automatically be granted any unclaimed rewards on both the free track and the Tavern Pass track (if purchased), and a completely new Rewards Track of unlockable loot will take its place.

      The Forged in the Barrens Tavern Pass will expire with the launch of United in Stormwind and a new Tavern Pass will be made available for purchase—offering a host of brand-new cosmetic rewards and XP boosts.

      Learn more about the United in Stormwind Rewards Track and Tavern Pass here.
      As a reminder, Battlegrounds Perks are now available as a standalone purchase, separate from the Tavern Pass.
      New Cosmetic Coins
      Two new Cosmetic Coins are being added with United in Stormwind, the Stormwind coin and the Lordaeron coin. The Stormwind coin is obtainable by completing the first 90 levels of the Rewards Track with the Tavern Pass. The Lordaeron coin is obtainable by collecting 135 unique United in Stormwind cards.

      Keep in mind that United in Stormwind will have a 35-card Mini-Set that will make it easier to reach both the 25 total United in Stormwind Legendary cards for the Archbishop Benedictus Diamond card reward and the 135 total United in Stormwind cards for the Lordaeron Cosmetic Coin. We’ll have more information to share about the United in Stormwind Mini-Set in the coming months.
