Curse of Naxxramas Recap, Wednesday Limited Decklists

Curse of Naxxramas: What We Know

It's time to recap Curse of Naxxramas, the upcoming adventure mode which is hitting this summer. We've learned of a new card this week, for Druids, called Poison Seeds!

  • The adventure will add 30 new cards to the game. 29 of the normal cards will be obtained by:
    • Killing Bosses (15 Cards)
    • Defeating a Wing (5 Legendary Cards)
    • Completing a Class Challenge (9 Class Specific Cards)
    • We do not know where #30 will come from, but it is likely a reward for collecting the other 29.
  • There are five wings/sections to the adventure.
    • One wing will come out per week.
    • The first wing and the last wing will be free.
    • The last wing will unlock once the first four wings have been completed.
    • Wings 2,3,4 will be purchasable for in-game currency or real money.
  • Naxxramas will be a solo pve adventure.
  • A new board will be available which is Naxx themed. It will be the board which is played on during the adventure.
  • All the new cards will be available in the arena to all players.
  • Naxxramas will feature Class Challenges, a difficult twist on the adventure mode encounters.
    • You will not get to select your deck for these challenges, you must use one designed by Blizzard.

Curse of Naxxramas Bosses

It has not been confirmed which bosses will be appearing in Naxxramas, but if we take a look at World of Warcraft, it should use the same bosses that were available in the raid instance. Below is a table of confirmed (bolded) and possible bosses which will appear in the Curse of Naxxramas adventure.
