SoU Dark Horses

So now we’ve seen all the new cards for the Saviours of Uldum there seem to be quite a few powerful cards and the quests seem to be fairly strong and easy to complete.

But behind every titan stands that unsung hero in the background that has worked tirelessly to lift them up. So which cards do you think will be the hidden gems of the expansion, the cards that don’t LOOK that much, but end up being big parts of a strategy.

For me, BEEES!!! is the obvious one. I’ve already done a post, previously, that details quite a few interesting combos with this card.

I think Expired Merchant could see significant play as well, doesn’t even need to be in a discard lock deck. Synergises brilliantly with mortal coil alone.

Id say tortollan pilgrim, have a deck set up for big aoe spell or non target spells like secrets or stuff like yoggs puzzle box or the 8 cost spell to summon 2 6 cost minions

Bees especially in Wild seems to be the thing I’m interested in apart from the quest that I’m interested in. Addled Grizzly plus Bees equals awesome, especially in a token deck.

As for other sleeper cards… Totemic Surge comes to mind. Wild is gonna have a bit of Totem Shamans in em, I imagine. Especially with Mogu Fleshshaper and evolve cards.
Armored Goon is something I wanna see become a big thing in the Warrior’s arsenal.
Mogu Cultist has already been talked to death but I say it’ll be THE meme deck of the expansion. Then again, they said that about Chef Nomi and look how that turned out.
Biggest sleeper of the expansion in my opinion though? Serpent Egg.

Also I think we’ll be seeing Big Mage rise in popularity, what with all these high-cost cards and Luna’s Pocket Galaxy having been buffed.

I just want to slip Expired Merchant into every single one of my Warlock decks. It’s just an amazing Swiss Army knife card, just like BEES! Placing it in my big demon deck could result in stuff like a 3rd Voidlord or a 2nd Bloodreaver Gul’Dan. That’s absolutely ridiculous. My standard discard Warlock could result in me discarding my Soulwarden, resulting in an unlimited number of 6/6s, which is even more of a clown fiesta than the previous deck. All that power, in one 2/1 Deathrattle minion that’s only 2-Mana.
Guess what I’m gonna craft first! :smiling_imp:

BEEES!!! just seems busted, not exactly a hidden gem.

Moutuary Machine is my sleeper pick. Haven’t heard anyone mention this card, but to me it seems like an auto fit in aggro. 8/8 go face, no care bout reborn!

I don’t think Expired Mechant will see play…so that’s a great choice for a sleeper pick, hopefully I’m wrong :slightly_smiling_face:

To me, asides from the obvious ones like murloc mecharoo those are ones that I think people are sleeping on
Temple Berserker
Quicksand Elemental
Infested Goglin

Infested Goblin is going to see SO much play in Taunt Warrior and Ramakhen Hunter that it doesn’t really seem hidden to me… :thinking:

Sandstorm Elemental is going to Make Overload Shaman Great Again, with a little help from Vessina, so go buy your MOSGA hats today! :joy:

Temple Beserker is the threeway lovechild of Fire Fly, Possessed Villager and Amani Beserker.
(I still think they need to buff Possessed villager by giving the Shadowbeast the demon tribe, just saying.)

Quicksand Elemental is a great defence tool and can also be used to indirectly EZ clear some problematic minions. I see a nice Shadow Word Horror combo board clear with priest in wild format.

you’re the first one saying this after me

that’s not what you think it is, look again

Lemme just edit my comment real quick. :joy:
I’m the most stupid man alive, I swear.
