It has been 2 weeks since the release of Hearthstone's newest expansion, Saviors of Uldum. The meta is still settling but there have been some incredible cards some which failed to make an impression.
It's quite frustrating how Blizzard hasn't come up with a duplicate Epic rule yet as they did with Legendaries. You can open a lot of duplicate Epics from packs still. Still, there have been quite a few Epic rarity cards that have proven to be very strong.
Check out our guide for crafting Legendaries from the expansion. There are some great meme cards such as Mogu Cultist and Desert Obelisk, but they're not worth crafting really. Here are 8 of the best Epic cards to craft from the set which work well competitively and on their own.

#8 Diseased Vulture
Zoolock is a deck archetype which has never really gone away. It has never been very overpowered either but still continues to get support. Diseased Vulture is a great addition to Warlock's pool of cards.
Taking damage with Flame Imp, Crystallizer and the new Neferset Thrasher can bring you a huge board of 3-cost minions. If your opponent can't remove them, they're in for a beating.
Craft this card if you're interested in playing a Zoo type of deck.
#7 Psychopomp
This Priest card is surprisingly good. Psychopomp can resurrect any minion and give it "Reborn", which will bring it back to 1 health after it dies. It's incredibly powerful with cards such as Injured Blademaster, Injured Tol'vir and even small cards such as Northshire Cleric.
The Reborn mechanic works incredibly well with Priest. They can heal up minions after they have died and come back with 1 health to full health or even partially. If Priest gets bigger minions or strong neutral minions to support it, Psychopomp will become even more powerful.

#6 Wild Bloodstinger
Since Dirty Rat was a thing, players have been begging for "hand disruption" cards or moving Dirty Rat to Classic. Since that never happened, Wild Bloodstinger is the closest we have gotten to the hand disruption mechanic.
At 9 health, Wild Bloodstinger can survive many minions. It is incredible against Highlander decks who run card such as Reno, Khadgar, Zephrys (ok, almost always Mage). It is not always effective but ruining a combo or taking away an effect can be devastating to the opponent.
There are not many combo decks in the current meta, but Wild Bloodstinger can still be incredibly useful.
#5 Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron
The Yogg-Saron effect was one of the best things Blizzard introduced in Hearthstone. Yogg-Saron used to stop after being removed from the board. But there is no spell limit with Puzzle Box (only the class limit of Mage). It will cast 10 random spells without having to stop.
Although the effect of Puzzle Box is too random to be competitive or useful, it can still be a saving grace or a lethal setup if it works in your favour. Puzzle Box is used in many Highlander Mage decks but it's a great card on it's own as well. With an active Kalecgos, it can even cost 0!

#4 Tip the Scales
Murloc Paladin is back and it is one of the strongest variations of the deck archetype yet. Tip the Scales is often combined with Prismatic Lens, which switches the cost of a spell and a minion in your deck.
It involves a little luck but you can even get your Tip the Scales for 1 mana (but with an 8 cost secret). Summoning 7 murlocs not only gives you board presence but it also thins your deck by 7 cards, making your future draws much easier.
#3 Tortollan Pilgrim
Tortollan Pilgrim is a card that took everyone by surprise. This Mage Epic can cast spells from your deck while still keeping a copy of it. Flamestrike with a 5/5 body or Blizzard with a 5/5 body is way too powerful.
You can also use it to cast secrets from your decks. It can only be a bit awkward if you have targeted spells because the wrong targets can often be hit. Craft this if you like playing Control Mage or Highlander Mage.

#2 Anubisath Defender
A free Sen'jin Shieldmasta? Yes please! Anubisath Defender works really well with Druid because they have a lot of powerful 5+ cost spells. A Starfall clear and a free taunt, or a Nourish draw and a free taunt.
Any card that has the capability of costing 0 is usually very powerful. It's pretty bad if you play it at 5 mana but Anubisath Defender will fit in to many Druid decks in the future too.
#1 Vulpera Scoundrel
Vulpera Scoundrel is probably the best Epic card in the Saviors of Uldum set. You can discover 3 spells or roll the dice and gain another one at random. Vulpera Scoundrel is very flexible and fits in to many different types of decks, no matter the class.
You don't need a specific deck type to put this card in. It's a safe craft that can be slotted in to almost any type of deck.
