Hearthstone - Curse of Naxxramas

[Klaus]

So I see the launch of the first wing is next week (free). And that the remaining 3 wings open once a week for 700gold or $6.99 each. So this is single player and you beat the bosses to unlock cards? Guess I am a bit unclear on the non multi-player aspects.

We’re skimming the slime pools, stitching together our finest Abominations, and preparing the Necropolis for an Adventure you’ll never forget—Curse of Naxxramas is coming, and we know you’re just dying to get in and play! In today’s blog, we’ll discuss the details on how you’ll access Curse of Naxxramas, and unveil the Naxxramas Heroic Mode.
Your All Naxx-cess Pass
Naxxramas is a floating necropolis, home to a host of undead bosses ready to challenge worthy opponents eager to test their card-slinging mettle. To undertake the challenges that lie within each of the five wings of the Adventure, one must first gain access to their secrets. But don’t worry too much about the price of entry—much to Thaddius’ chagrin, it won’t cost you an arm OR a leg.
Naxxramas will open its gates one wing at a time, with a new wing opening each week. The wings of Naxxramas will open in the following order: Arachnid Quarter, Plague Quarter, Military Quarter, Construct Quarter, and Frostwyrm Lair.
Players who begin their adventures in Naxxramas during the launch event will gain free access to the first wing: the Arachnid Quarter. The launch event will last roughly a month or so, meaning you’ll have plenty of time to get your foot in the door—we’ll have more details to share about that later on. The web-choked corridors of the Arachnid Quarter are home to the bosses Anub’Rekhan, Grand Widow Faerlina, and Maexxna. Defeating these bosses will add new cards to your collection and give you a taste of the dangers that await you deeper inside Naxxramas.
After the Arachnid Quarter, the next four wings can be purchased for 700 gold per wing or $6.99 USD per wing. Players can earn the in-game gold needed to unlock the next wing of Naxxramas by completing various quests or emerging victorious from the Arena, or they can choose to unlock the next available Naxxramas wing using real money.
If you’re looking to swing open multiple gates at once, Curse of Naxxramas bundle packages are also available. Spiders are just so good at making things into neat little bundles. . . .

Funny I was just reading all the epics and was wondering where this Thaddius guy was....

Figure if you get to the point where you've summoned and lost (or intentionally killed trying to bring out Thaddius) a 5/7 and a 7/5 that cost 5, this 11/11 without any special abilities probably isn't going to keep you alive much longer.

[Ender]

Construct Quarter opens today, and there are some seriously game changing cards coming out as rewards: http://www.hearthpwn.com/news/591-construct-quarter-releases-this-week-card-rewards

Undertaker will replace Argent Squire in Zoo decks, and you will also see it in some other decks like Shaman and Druid. Dark Cultist immediately becomes the best 3 drop in the game and you will see a TON of new Priest decks that use it. I am going to revisit my mage duplicate deck with mad scientist... it should be more viable with that card.

I just ran through the 4 new bosses at lunch.... all 1 shot except Thaddius I had to build a quick pally deck. Great new cards.

[Grafton]

I had the exact opposite experience! I had to craft custom decks for the first 3 normal bosses and used my standard pally deck to beat Thaddius.
