New Druid Card Unveiled! (4-26-2014)
A new druid card was unveiled to the public via Hearthstone’s Official Facebook. You can find the artwork below and the card page here: Poison Seeds
The speculation was correct! Curse of Naxxramas has been announced and with it comes a slew of information. We’ll do our best to keep you informed, here’s what we know and what cards to look forward to:
- Curse of Naxxramas Release Date: Summer 2014 (source)
- Confirmed Bosses: Maexxna, Loatheb, Patchwerk, Heigan the Unclean
- Each Boss has their own unique cards and Hero Powers
- Five unique wings – The Arachnid Quarter, The Plague Quarter, The Military Quarter, The Construct Quarter, and Frostwyrm Lair
- Each wing opens up during the course of a 5 week period (one a week)
- First wing is free (try before you buy) – The Arachnid Quarter
- Each additional wing will cost gold (start horde-ing now) OR real money (get a job!)
- Cost of each wing is still being determined (source)
- Each wing is a one time cost (source)
- As each wing releases the cards will become usable in Arena (this means you won’t have to participate in the Adventure Mode to get a chance to use them)
- 30 new playable cards
- Cards can be earned by overcoming challenges (presumably defeating bosses) within the Naxxramas Adventure Mode
- Obtainable cards currently known: Undertaker, Shade of Naxxramas, Nerubian Egg, Dancing Swords, and Baron Rivendare
- Cards can only be obtained from Adventure Mode (source)
- Not all cards will have Deathrattle, but it is the prominent theme (source)
- Brand new game board (board art below)
Newly Added Information (Updated: 4-12-2014 – 3:21PM PST)
- Class Challenges: After you defeat a specific boss, some of them will have a Class Challenge. (source)
- Class Challenges: Defeat a boss with a pre-made class deck. If you defeat the boss with that class deck you will receive a class specific card (one for each class). (source)
- For every wing you complete you will receive a legendary card. (source)
- Artwork for the Nerubian Egg token has been added below!
- All legendaries gained from Naxxramas Adventure Mode are brand new and unique to the mode. (source)
- Baron Rivendare is the reward for The Military Quarter. (source)
- On difficulty: “we want them to be hard but beatable.” (source)
