New Cards!

- Finishing Wings (6 Legendary Cards)
- Completing Class Challenges (9 Cards)
These cards are not craftable and cannot be disenchanted for dust, much like the Basic set.
Class Cards
Nine of the new cards will be class specific, one for each class. These cards are obtained from Class Challenges.
Neutral Cards
Twenty-one Neutral minions have been added in the Curse of Naxxramas. Prepare to see the meta shaken up.

Class Challenges
Class Challenges are a collection of unique fights in which each class has a different opponent from the Naxxramas Adventure to defeat. These challenges require you to use a pre-assembled deck of cards, chosen by Blizzard, to defeat your opponent. Challenges unlock after defeating a boss which has an assigned challenge.
Upon winning a challenge, you will be granted the Naxxramas class card for the class you played.
Government has to find a way to Snake their hands into your pockets one way or another.......if you aren't spending your money in the real world then they will tax you in the digital one.
Dude, I already know that Avenge and "Get Down" are going to be the wombo-combo in a new shockadin variant. I can feel it in my value senses.
I've heard that their is going to be a Heroic Mode. Perhaps the reward for completing a wing on Heroic will be to gain the golden versions of the new cards.
So with Reincarnate it'd be possible to have 5 Ragnaros on the board at the same time or any Legendary for that matter? Turn 10 Ragnaros with Ancestral Spirit, turn 11 Faceless X2. Turn 12 Reincarnate x2.
I wonder what the Hero Powers will be! Maybe Grobbulus' will be: Inject a minion with Plague Slime - that minion will take 1 damage at the end of each turn. It's a lot of fun to theorize and think of cool Hero Powers for each of the bosses.
The more I look at this, the more I want Blizzard to make an announcement already ;~;
On a side note, how do you reckon we'll get gold versions of Naxx cards?
Nice to see everything in one spot. Thank you!
I was safing money, but then I couldn't hold it anymore and had to buy packs :(
At least I got some dust from it to craft Thalnos :)
The wings will always be purchasable once released, you do not need to buy the week it is released. Also, once bought you can replay as much as you like, you just get the rewards only once.

Looking forward to this! Hopefully they won't make it too expensive :/
If you play anub'ar onto an empty board while playing for instance miracle rogue its so good. a 5/5 for 4. Now if you're playing tempo or minion heavy rogue you could bounce back someone like si7 agent to get his ability again. It's a good card if you know how to play it right. Also if you play it with an si7 agent your opponent in order to make a good trade is then forced to kill the agent first because he doesnt want you to get 2 damage again and make a more efficient trade.
miracle rogues could use it as a way to put some early damage on the board i think. just throw it out turn 4. otherwise it is kind of a dead draw. it has its uses. i kind of wish it was something you got to do on play though instead of deathrattle. that's what rogue needs a good bounce back that that garbage 3/2 panda. Maybe something that costs like 4 and bounces back one of your creatures and one of your opponents creatures.
Yes I've been thinking a lot about Anub'ar Ambusher in the miracle rogue deck. It seems to me like miracle is one of the dominant competitive decks right now and it has been honed and perfected over the last couple of months. Changing even one thing is going to be tricky, and for a card like the Ambusher it might not be worth it!
Naxxramas Woot! I see many hours in the future of us putting this whole guide together.
Cool
