I don't mind - i'd love to hear your opinion on other cards.
I think they wanted to make other Naga heroes apart from Ishuma viable. I don't think that Ishuma will change (maybe she will play with 3 Singers instead of standard 2 or the version with 2 Cleansing Lights will become more popular), even the Predator is not that strong when you consider the cost (i agree with you on that one). Maybe Takana will become more popular
I disagree on Sand Kame - it's crap, compare it to any other 5-might 5-drops that are playable.
@watcher83
I agree. I called Acamas a slow Crag Hack - pointless. In general Acamas takes advantage of the fact that Stronghold has a line-up of great creatures: Goblins, Harpies, Oliphants, Centaurs and Taited Orcs and Acamas let you get to them quicker if you play 2cd e.g. during R2P Avkall deployed Taited Orc on 2cd turn (with a Gold Pile).

Yup, server problems again...
I played about 10-20 games till 15:00h, and they all went fine, got level up, bought FT Box, builded a new deck, and now it is just loading screen.

This has been going on since 8am this morning but I suppose it never stopped since the expansion came out; I would certainly enjoy to punch the guy responsible with the servers.

Ok the game is unplayable.. but atleast I have access to the cards.. So I will continue with the rewiev
Next up Stronghold.
Creatures
Suicede goblin - This is a nice card. Low cost and a good abilitie. Sure your oponent can put in a 1-2 drop. even then It's a card for a card exchange. Good for a big creature deck, since it can make the game last longer but does not cost a spot.. for long. If nothing it can be a mental block for the oponent and you can create a secured line.
Urg Hunter - This card is as common as can be. An alternative 3 drop if you look for something with more HP, but less attack. But still, Centaurs are imho a better option.
Guerilla Master - Ok here is an interesting card. Sure not the best for its cost, but its support of Sahaar hunters/sand Sharks is nice. He needs only 3 might and can stand for a while. And the fact that he is a shooter makes him oh so better.. a total of 14 HP in one row.. big chunk of Orc meat. Not really that good on its own but I can imagine a medium efficiency fun deck based around him and the hunters.
Sahaar orc - Already discussed, not a top card at first sight. But he does have potential, if you imagine a suicide deck for Acamas/Zoulieka/Kat based on board whipes that this boy can survive. Not a Kelthor card in any way but for other... maybe.
Fortunes/Building
Surprise attack - This card would not be bad if there were more than 4 cards with ambush for orcs (And one of them, Sahaar Centaur, is useless). 1-2 more and could be a really fun deck.
Zefiria's Celerity - A very nice card that alowes you to Kill a lot of monsters or do a lot of damage directly to the oponent. The fact that it needs a monster to work makes it a bit weaker (Potential dead card), but in late game could help a lot.
Famous Last blow - Again a card I like very much. Costs a bit of orc blood but this is an universal disspell for all orc heroes. The requirements are not that easy, but if you go for them (Kat, Shaar, or even Acamas) you should put in two of these in case of all those evil ongoing thingies.
Final one.. Building
War Tent The Pao launcher as niknamed at first sight, this card is not the most inspired one, but very effective. You can imagine OTK/slowpokes using this, but even magic Kelthor or Acamas. The 2 magic needed make it a mid game card, but it is a Shamans hut with no downsides, and it's "pernament".
Overal opinion: Similary to Naggas Orcs did not get very interesting creatures but got some nice fortunes. The theme looks to bring focuse from the most played heroes to other, more complex decks. I see a lot of cards for Acamas/Kat/Zouleika so hope to see them more in the future.

For the achievement: "Win a ranked duel with a unique creature, spell, fortune and building in play",
Does this have to be all uniques or just the creature?

How does Shalan ability actually work? Is it 2 less per creature, or what?
The guy just returned every single mine and his creature to our hands(except his Kappa that had Fortune Ward), and then played a lot of creatures for 0, I understand cheap creatures to be 0, but he played Nyorai for 0...
Is this a bug?
Also, played a day ago versus a guy that had Wolf Guard and Wolf Captain near each other. I played with Dark Assassin, used Phrias special ability on him and Inner Fire, killed Wolf Captain, but Wolf Guard got on -1 HP(?!), yes, minus one...
I thought that it was visual bug at first, but then he played second Wolf Captain and he got a buff from nearby creature.
Adar-Malik got huge buff(or bug, whatever), you are now able to use your special ability on your own Pao Deathseekers that you used your last turn. You weren't able to do that before expansion and you shouldn't be able to do that now...
When I was playing Ariana on my friends account, I used Spell Twister and used enemy Cyclon against him, I damaged his creatures but they were able to attack like nothing happened. He was Cassandra, and he didn't have any ongoing spells or effects.
The game is full of bugs, as usual.
Btw, Tower of the Gardener kicks some serious ass!

The trick with Sahlan is Sayama Warden that lowers the cost of returned creatures by 2 more

Achievement: Strength in Diversity: "Win a ranked duel with a unique creature, spell, fortune and building in play"
Jesus, Mary and Joseph! I friggin did it finally! Hoopie f$%%ing doo!
Okay to confirm, you need all the cards to be unique.
The only faction you can do this with is Sanctuary because Yukiko's Shrine is the only unique fortune that is not instant.
It was very difficult as you need to have all the unqiue drawing creatures (2 each per deck is enough), and timing is important.
Besides Jackpot achievements, this is the most difficult.
...and going

I am guilty of using him myself. Lately I've been playing Xorm, Ishuma and Sandal but switched to Hakeem mill today. It is a pretty interesting deck but it takes some experience to use properly.
PS that Sandal looks pretty good. I'd probably use a couple of nethermancer events just in case though.

I am playing Adar and Phrias currently, waiting for my next FT Box, so I will start playing Seria probably.
And I really want to try Trollgate Xorm, but I don't have enough gates. Will buy them with WCs probably.
