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.
That would be too powerful UNLESS your opponent has a taunt minion on the board, which isn't guaranteed. What you're suggesting would let warriors spend two turns (per card, so potentially 4 turns total) going at his opponent's face for 4 damage, while dealing 1 damage to every minion. It only has 2 durability, so really it's just 1 turn of 4 damage, followed by another 4 damage and a free whirlwind. It's an awesome weapon that a lot of warriors are going to love. Doesn't need to be any more powerful.
Miracle Rogue format.
Confirmed by Zeriyah on Twitter, there's no way to avoid the Deathrattle effect. It triggers if durability goes to 0 of if destroyed by Ooze / Jones.

Linking to just her profile will mean the tweet you are reffering to will be unfindable pretty soon. :)
Not a bad card. I don't see Warrior's trying to squeeze this into their decks, though. If a deck is already using Arcanite Reaper, I see that being swapped out for Death's Bite occasionally.
When is the patch going live? The Battle.net launcher is not showing any scheduled downtime.
Seems every Class is going to have synergy with DR which is a good thing because then there won't be any class that will have a problem building a DR deck, but the meta might be full of everything DR o.o Sadly the Legendary creature only triggers minions not weapons.
Damn this has got me so hype for all the enrage possibilities, as well as being a great anti-aggro option.
drop wild pyro , use second swing, cast whirldwind or cleave for some tasty-non-brawl board clear power
I've wanted a card almost exactly like this for a bit, this makes me quite happy! :D
Looking at these cards, looks like a lot of 4 attack power, from minions and weapons I guess. Priest is going to have some problems...
I"m pretty sure they'll have something decent for priest because its one of the weakest classes right now. If they don't then Blizz is anti priest for what ever reason.
Priests are still being punished for being so amazingly awesome (at least in Arena) back when Mind Control was 8 mana.
Interesting, since it is not currently possible to silence a weapon. I wonder if this mechanic will appear at some point.
Can't wait to see new card for mage... =)
great card vs Zoo
So you want to Ooze this? Well well. Be careful now, this could be dangerous! ... Except if you have Amani Berserker on the board, then this would be sweeeet
My ooze is ready
I would assume this activates the Deathrattle since the Acidic Swamp Ooze text says:
"Battlecry: Destroy your opponent's weapon."
If that's the case, I would assume the Deathrattle has to happen with a 100%
Interesting, I didn't know a weapon had a death once it was destroyed.
I assume that when you use the final durability and the weapon "breaks" that you get the deathrattle proc.
EDIT: same should happen when it "breaks" due to Ooze or Harrison.
Another Warrior weapon?! brb crafting Harrison Jones. :P
