I am really starting to get into hearthstone, I have yet to buy anything yet and would like to stay away from irl for the game as much as I can. I have debated buying the naxx set but eh. Anyways, I have been playing around with decks and finally found a style i like. Its just a basic zoo deck with a few tweaks I thought may be good lol.
I have beat the first wing of naxx and the druid challenge.
Iv made the mistake of doing arena when I was a noob and buying cards because I read somewhere cards is better. So my first question is. What should I do with my gold!? Arena or packs?
I am also looking for advice on what cards to be crafting in order to make this a good rush/zoo deck! Below is my current deck. Please throw any advice you may feel can help a guy fresh to hearthstone. PS. I took this deck into rank and didnt lose once until 20. O_O
If you ever plan to spend money on the game, Naxx is better when bought with cash and gold spend on packs. However the play value of Naxx isn't high. Cards are a mixed bag and there is (at least for me) no replay value.
Deck looks better. What other cards do you have? Another Flame Imp, Elven Archer instead of both Goldshire Footman and Abusive Sergant if you have for Mortal Coils.
I have one abusive sergent that I threw in for a mortal coil. Swapped out a goldshire for a elven. Only have one flame imp right now. :( I just am afraid to spend the 20 bucks on naxx and it not be worth it. But from what I have seen all the naxx cards and being used in all the higher ranked decks now.
Naxx is the only way to get those cards. The gold equivalent is 28 packs (2.8k gold) where 20 bucks are 15 packs.
While some of the cards are played, there are only few: mainly Loatheb and Sludge Belchers, some class cards, few other cards in currently gimmicky decks. You don't really need any of those for a zoo deck as you have the first wing down.
So you don't have to buy Naxx if you can hold off and spend your gold on packs and then buy Naxx at some time in the future with gold. You will need to buy one wing after another and can't just mix and match. If you want all Naxx cards you have to spend 2800 gold (luckily Loatheb and Belcher are in the second wing, which would set you back 700 gold). 700 gold is a 40g daily and 18 wins a day for a whole week - quite some time.
In the end it depends on how patient you are, I would say Naxx isn't that important at the moment (for the amount of cards used) and going for the packs will boost your collection as well enable you to craft cards or try other decks.
Undertaker can get quite big if not dealt with (however most will). Void Terror is one of the newer versions and can be played if you have it, otherwise the older ones are still good.
i say arena cause not only you get a pack but you get gold and dust
also if you use gold to get naxx it will take a 2 1/2 week's max just doin daily quest that's only 40g per day me im only using gold and im a week behind
a good deck to try and its cheap Shaman will help you learn more about the game cause you can be very aggressive and win or just control the board and win. unlike zoo where you can get tempo out trust me shamans always have lethal lol
Godslayer, I may try that deck out in the long run. Do you really say arena, even when I dont have that much exp? I am going to work on getting a little more gold for a while, while i read and watch arena guides!
I bought naxx. Only have 3 bosses left and I will have all the cards!
yeah arena is good cause if you 6 wins you can get money back and deck and some dust to go along with it
i have been playing around the second term of beta i still don't have all legendary's it cause i just bought pack's but if i did just area i would already have them lol
Hello all,

There is a whole thread about the pro and cons of arena here.
What helped me was to watch Trumps VoDs on youtube and the Fight Night series for the insight into different plays and trades.
Your zoo looks good for only the basic cards, but since you said you got the first wing down, consider the Haunted Creeper and the Egg.
Alright! I will go look into those. I have actually updated my deck a little bit more. I will attach it to this post.
I am debating buying all of Naxx. I only have 100g lol.. So I guess I will pay the 20 bucks for all the wings.. I mean are the cards really worth it??
The way I see it 20 bucks for a free game I have gotten lots of use out of isnt too bad.

Yeah, buying Naxx if you can afford it will really speed things up, it's got some strong cards. Then you can use gold for packs.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.

So Naxx is worth the 20 bucks at this point?

I bought naxx XD
I gave in to temptation haha. I figured if anything it was worth it just for the boss fights, something to do.
While I work through Naxx, is there anything you would recommend me swapping out of my deck for the newly acquired cards?
I think you can try and shoot for something along the lines of this deck: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/55946-an-in-depth-legend-zoo-guide-updated-for-naxxramas
Undertaker can get quite big if not dealt with (however most will). Void Terror is one of the newer versions and can be played if you have it, otherwise the older ones are still good.
Doomguard should probably be one of the first cards you work on creating.
i say arena cause not only you get a pack but you get gold and dust

base way to play is to save up 300 gold and get some card draw and have the good removal cards for the class like Swipe for Druid, Consecration for pally, Holy Nova Priest, Eviscerate rouge, Frostbolt and Flamestrike mage, Earth Shock and Lightning Storm shaman, Brawl or Execute Warrior. Hunter's Mark hunter
