Naxxramas Card Recap
With the addition of today's Warrior card, Death's Bite, we're now up to a total of 8 known cards from Naxxramas, 3 of which are class cards. Check out the previously announced cards below!
Official Patch notes - 1.0.0.5314
Quote from BlizzardGeneral
- Improved friends list sorting based on player status.
- Breaking News will now properly be shown when Hearthstone is undergoing maintenance.
- Reconnect functionality has been enabled for Practice Mode.
- Games in Friendly Play now have a turn timer.
- [iPad] Deck Rename and Deck Delete is now easier to find.
Card Changes
- Unleash the Hounds (Hunter) now costs 3 (up from 2).
- After much consideration, we have decided to increase the mana cost of Unleash the Hounds to 3. Unleash the Hounds has been dominating all levels of play for quite some time. This change should make the card more fun to play against while still allowing for some big plays when combined with other Hunter cards.
Bug Fixes
- Winning a game as Lord Jaraxxus will now properly grant credit towards unlocking the Warlock golden hero. You win...BUT YOUR WORLD IS STILL DOOMED!
- Returning an opponent’s minion to their hand will no longer occasionally leave behind a facedown card on the game board.
- Resolved issues that prevented the Fireside Friends card back from being properly unlocked under certain conditions.
- [iPad] Resolved an issue that was causing a client crash when choosing between two options of certain Druid cards.
- [iPad] Resolved an issue where new chat notification bubbles would appear behind the keyboard when in the chat window interface.
- [iPad] Adjusted the location of where enlarged versions of cards appear so that they are easier to see when selected.
- [iPad] Resolved an issue where the client may sometimes use the incorrect default language.
- Other bug fixes and UI improvements.
Deathrattle synergy, but the effect does not seem to be particularly worth it.
Awesome cards :D
Good synergy with deathrattle cards.
How if only we have more then ONE CARD to remove weapons. Unless you get lucky and have a legendary then you can have 2 cards.
Very interesting warrior card, and i look forward to seeing it in action. My only gripe: that's not Death's Bite. Death's Bite drops off Kel'thuzad in Naxx and it doesn't look like that. The image on that card is the artwork for 1h axes from ICC, not a weapon from Naxx. Still very cool.
Weapon/Miracle Warrior Deck is a good idea?
Hooray for anti-aggro tech!
Woot one step closer to an all weapon warrior deck.
Anyway... this will help control warriors deal with the aggro decks nicely.
Even with a priestess buffing the voidwalker to 4 health, it removes it. Plus will decimate the rest of the field. Add in a whirlwind to finish it off, and retake board that same move.
With the double deathrattle from NAXX this thing will destroy the slime that tries to remove it
Dang.
" That belongs in a museum!"
Another weapon... Hummm, I don't know. I was expecting something more :(
Seems fairly good, and maybe will help give rise to a enrage + deathrattle warrior midrange deck. Might be fun
I'm even mnore curious about priest card now. I hope it's something with a synergy for velen since he's the most combo dependant legendary
I don't. Velen costs way too much for his effect and is easily killed by everyone. I hope it's a card that makes priest stop sucking so much. Like, I dunno...a functioning AoE? Hmmm....I hear priests got Mind Sear in Wrath of the Lich King. I also hear they re-released Naxx In Wrath of the Lich King.
As if the warrior didnt have enough weapons allready.....
They need more shields.
God I cannot wait to see all 30 of these cards! It's like a puzzle that is being put together in an agonizingly slow fashion. I want to break this card's utility down, but I feel like that's pointless because we only have 1/4 of the picture in front of us. I wonder why they went with 4 attack power? That doesn't kill much that a Fiery War already can...not like 4 life was a sweet spot that was infuriating warriors for not being able to hit. I so wish this could synergize with Baron Rivendare...would make ooze simply just a spell to remove a weapon...decent, but would probably become a wasted card.
I think this card would fit warrior better if it said something like this "Every time this weapon loses durability deal 1 damage to all minions." This is would really help with clearing the board in a way only the warrior can. Let me know because I could just be bias as hell here. Before someone says that this ability would be stronger than swipe; I want you to remember there is another cost which is a warrior health total to consider as while.
