Maybe. I put it at an honorable mention and loatheb at number 4 because loatheb has a positive effect. I know zombie chow's effect normally isn't even a disadvantage, but I think it's not a better overall card. It's just harder to find good 1 drops and easier to find good 5 drops.
Don't know how Zombie Chow ended up only in your honorable mentions. Without him, aggro would completely crush control or midrange imo. Would probably switch him with KT and KT as a honorable mention, as he is more of a win more card.
That is true. I've used zombie chow before and it works great against aggro. The problem is, I've been playing a TON of secret paladins and I haven't seen a face hunter in ages. Loatheb at least slows the secret pally down a bit, while putting a big 5/5 body on the board.

This thread would be more interesting if it was the top 5 from both combined a bit too easy as is. Also I like that no one noticed that Death's Bite was listed as a BRM card.
Death's Bite and Mad Scientist are two of, if not the best cards in the game, Belcher is ubiquitous even if it's just annoying; in many ways Belcher is just the modern Harvest Golem from pre Naxx.
As far as BRM It's pretty much just Thaurissan, Grim Patron is a deck enabler and said deck is ridiculous but the card itself isn't the world shaper. Flamewaker is good but the decks that use it are braindead at present, I'm sure there's a deck to be made that's smarter about how to use it but creativity isn't exactly the strong suit of Netdeck central.
Imp Gang Boss is an excellent card, zoo is absolutely dead though (thankfully). Quick Shot is good but it didn't make hunters better it just made them tow the line (i.e. 40% of the ladder).
There are a lot of other great cards in Naxx, of course, but I think these are the five that changed the game the most, making new decks possible or transforming existing decks into top-tier powerhouses.

I agree. I would like to see someone make a top 5 from the combined adventures...

I'm about 2-3 months into the game. Highest rank I have achieved is 15. No Legendaries in my collection. I have enough gold to start the first wing of a solo adventure. Yea, it would be faster to just spend the $50 and buy both complete adventures, but I have a hard enough time justifying the amount of time currently spent playing....so that's out.
I wanted Kel, but after reading this thread, not many seem to think it's important. I still think I want to finish Nax to get Kel, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't complete the first wing of BRM to get the Emperor before starting Nax. Any tips would be great.
^ i am a f2p player and i decided to get the first wing of BRM, and then i went on to complete Nax
From how I see it, the only other cards in BRM (after the first wing) that are good are only good for:
Dragon decks
Flamewaker for mages
Couple of warlock cards
Whereas, every wing of Nax has good cards
I have now finished Nax, so I am going to get the 2nd and 3rd BRM wings just to get flamewaker because I mainly play mage
I will not finish the rest of BRM unless I decide that I want to play dragon priest, which isn't likely anyway because the dust cost of getting the rest of the cards is very high.. and by the time I save up enough dust, I doubt dragon priest will be a top tier deck anymore
for now, I will continue playing my personally constructed mage deck and just keep adding good cards as I get them
These are mine...
Naxxramas:
1. Mad Scientist
2. Sludge Belcher
3. Zombie Chow
4. Loatheb
5. Haunted Creeper
Honorable Mention: Dark Cultist
Blackrock Mountain:
1. Emperor Thaurissan
2. Flamewaker
3. Grim Patron
4. Imp Gang Boss
5. Death's Bite
Honorable Mention: Chromaggus
I edited it. :)
Wisp is better imo, it's a 0 mana 1/1 minion, so that's infinite value. You might as well call it a 0 mana 100/100 minion.
Mad Scientist MVP, but I'd probably remove Kel and Cultist from OP's list, move Chow up, and add Haunted Creeper / Shade of Naxx.

Death's Bite is the best card of Naxx by far.
Naxx
Sludge Belcher
Mad Scientist
Zombie Chow
Shade of Naxxramas
Haunted Creeper
Nerubian Egg
Egg and Creeper are tied.
Blackrock Mountain
Flamewaker
Grim Patron
Quick Shot
Emperor Thaurissan
Imp Gang Boss
Honorable mentions to Blackwing Corruptor/Technician for allowing for tempo based dragon decks.

Yeah, Kel'thuzad shouldn't be up there. My bad. I just idolize it because it works so good in my decks. I'll edit my polls.

BRM:
Emperor Thaurissan
Grim Patron
Flamewaker
Blackwing Corruptor
Imp Gang Boss
Same deal, although I expect people will find those choices less controversial.
Death's Bite is for Naxx??
I agree. I would like to see someone make a top 5 from the combined adventures...
Patron is on the list... so what are the other 4?
Nightblade Argent Lance Flame Imp
Argent Watchman Argent Squire Frost Giant
Aviana Hogger Snipe Sea Giant

as is the life of an f2p player
ehrr waker is in the fourth
dam it, i guess that's an extra 700 gold.. guess i might as well finish BRM too
