New Cards!
Curse of Naxxramas will be introducing thirty new cards to the game; This includes both class and neutral cards. These cards are only obtained while completing specific tasks in the adventure itself and cannot be opened up from booster packs like the previous Expert set. Cards are earned by:
- Defeating Bosses (15 Cards)
- Finishing Wings (6 Legendary Cards)
- Completing Class Challenges (9 Cards)
These cards are not craftable and cannot be disenchanted for dust, much like the Basic set.
Class Cards
Nine of the new cards will be class specific, one for each class. These cards are obtained from Class Challenges.
Neutral Cards
Twenty-one Neutral minions have been added in the Curse of Naxxramas. Prepare to see the meta shaken up.

Class Challenges
Class Challenges are a collection of unique fights in which each class has a different opponent from the Naxxramas Adventure to defeat. These challenges require you to use a pre-assembled deck of cards, chosen by Blizzard, to defeat your opponent. Challenges unlock after defeating a boss which has an assigned challenge.
Upon winning a challenge, you will be granted the Naxxramas class card for the class you played.
will all the wings be released at the same time or in waves?
Waves. 1 Per week until all 5 have been released.
Can't wait, but was hoping for something cooler than Webspinner myself! Still lot's of great cards to change things up. Really like the look of Loatheb.
Why is Loatheb deathrattle? Wasn't it Battlecry?
It was Battlecry on the picture that was initially tweeted out.
Loatheb should be a Battlecry not a Deathrattle right?
Yes, you will need to beat the 4 wings to unlock the last one.
The last one won't be free. If you look at price structure, there's one for 5 wings and 4 with 1 owned (the free one offered 'til late august).
You will be able to buy them all the 22nd (23rd for EU) but you still need to wait their official opening day to play them. That means, you can spend $20 next tuesday to buy them all, but you'll need to wait until tuesday 29th to access the second one. It works like a pre-order.
The release date is 22nd of july for America and the 23rd for Europe due to time zones
A meta fun can be fun as well :)
It's the "Four Horsemen", not "Rivendare"... <_<
Except that Rivendare will be the hero to beat. The 3 others should be minions we need to deafeat to then, be able to damage him.
um the military quarter and plague quarter are reversed
FIxed!
I just wish that since we are so much closer to release that we will be able to see the rest of the cards. It's taking so long and I'm anxious and ready for this!
On one hand, I seriously doubt they intend to reveal any more cards ahead of time (and honestly, I'd prefer they didn't... I want to be completely surprised about the rest). On the other, I'm feeling pretty confident that the first wing is planned for release in just a couple days. Even if not, we're not that far away now!
I am so ready for Naxx to be released.
While it is not a lot of money I do think the prices for the 3 wing in Euro should be adjusted to better fit 4,5 Euro so that each wing cost roughly the same in each bundle.
well said
So far blizzard has made any non legend cards that you can only have one of so they would have to either change the rules or make it so you can only obtain one which would be dumb because then naxxrammas decks would fall apart when you try to set up combos and fail.
Its because of Tax/VAT. Card packs are also slightly more expensive in Europe because of this. Some people in the states will end up paying tax on top of the displayed amount if its required in their area. I haven't had to pay Tax on any items and I live in Canada, I just need to pay the exchange rate difference which usually isn't much.
I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but that's what I've been told / researched.
