I plan on spending about $50 on Hearthstone this christmas, maybe more maybe less. I would like to at least get the plague wing as loatheb and sludge belchers are used in handlock, priest, and warrior control decks. I have a working handlock minus Naxx cards, faceless, and legendaries. I would also love to try more expensive paladin, warrior, and priest decks. So, what should I buy? I could be patient and buy the plague wing with gold but should I also buy the wing with undertaker so I can play mindless rush decks? Any help is great thanks. IMO I am leaning towards 40 regular packs, buying plague wing with gold, and if really want to, buying the rest of naxx individually.
If you're going to spend money, you gotta spend it on Naxx. You will for certain get piles of good cards at a much better value than unlocking with gold.
The deal you get from buying Naxx is well worth it. Not even for Undertaker, for the belchers and Loatheb + class cards. The concentration of Legendarys and good cards to regular cards is much higher than packs too.

I voted for naxx and 15 GvG packs. I think naxx was a lot of fun to play through, also many of the cards you get in those wings are relevant to the current meta. I think it's also cheaper to pay for naxx with the monies compared to gold. While I would say buying individual packs is cheaper with gold and more expensive with money.
Depends on how new you are to the game, but assuming you're fresh I would say Naxx and 15 Classic packs. Naxx guarantees you staples such as Undertaker, Loatheb, Death's Bite, Sludge Bletcher, etc. The new GvG may be tempting because they're new and shiny, but there's much more staple Legendarys in Classic, such as Ragnaros, Bloodmage, Harrison, Alex, Cairne, etc, plus the Giants. You can use the dust from cards you don't want from the Classic packs that you want from GvG.
I was able to do Naxx without spending a dime. Playing the daily quests for about a week will get you a wing each. I'd then buy classic packs with the rest. That will give you the best base to build on and then all of the daily quests after that can go to GvG packs or craft the Rares/Epics you want from dust. If I had it to do over again, I'd start off by really focusing on only 2 classes that I enjoy most and crafting the specific cards for them. You will have more fun when you do play and with winning decks you can build up wins/gold quicker.
I had a pretty good system when I first started though. I filled my deck slots with zoo (good for a number of daily quests), a deck with mostly 5+ cost creatures (for the daily), and a spell heavy deck (again for the daily). Zoo is cheap to make and viable even without a few of the rares. Even if the other two decks aren't super strong it doesn't matter because you will complete the daily quests even with losses. You learn a lot this way and also can make those decks better as you gain new cards.

Buy all the Naxx wings, then spend the rest on classic packs. The Naxx wings are expensive gold-wise compared to how much $ they cost.
