Yeah, activated right at the top of the hour. Found out when playing a game at 12:02 and a new 1 drop popped up as a choice from dark peddler.

So can you just craft them now w/o buying the wing?

Yes, but the value of just buying the wing is far greater than just crafting for dust.
Nah, you have to earn them first. They were not in the crafting menu until I earned them, I checked before and after.

If that were the case, sure, buying the wing is way cheaper than the dust it would take to craft all the cards, but you wouldn't be crafting all the cards only the good ones.

Both of the class challenges can be a little annoying. First game with priest went so horribly I was wondering how you are supposed to beat it, 2nd game I got a nsc in my opening hand and trivialized it, may need to just concede if you don't have one in this match(then again I didn't get excavate evil after the rough first start either, in the 2nd game I saw it was in the deck so I'm sure that would allow you to come back). For the shaman one the match is so draw dependent and the only card draw I saw from shaman was azure drake, also the only spell damage I saw for the spectral claws they give you.

If you have to craft even a single legendary it's worth buying the whole adventure. I think a pack is worth on average 55 dust. /shrug

I could be wrong, I swear they changed it though. Maybe there is something about after whole thing released, but I don't think you can even buy Naxx anymore? Meaning you have to be able to craft them.

Yeah, you're right about not being able to buy naxx anymore so maybe it has something to do with the whole thing being released or it being out of rotation. Seems silly to me that you can't buy adventures anymore, I can still go back and play them, what if someone new wanted to do that content?

Hmmmm. Well Ivory knight has over performed in N'Zoth Paladin so far. Getting a third equality is so sick.

I wanna play some form of tempo/beast druid, but I may wait until the warden comes out.

I cut an Acolyte of Pain for a Firelands Portal and I'm undecided. On one hand it's great value but on the other hand it's very slow. I think it's a good, promising, card but may not fit into my current deck.

Every match today has been against some warrior tryhard. I guess noone else wants to play around with new cards.

I dunno, the new cards aren't really that playable. The Hunter one is a good card, but not one was really running secrets so it takes a different build of deck. The Paladin card is okay, but it's not going to make a new deck.

This. None of the decent stuff comes out until next week and the good stuff 3rd week.

I really enjoyed the Adventures this time around. Usually they just annoy me but even though these were fairly simple, they were fun. The prologue is my favorite but the Chess board also fun due to its unique gameplay. Most challenging for me was the Hardmode Magic Mirror. Took me like 3 tries. Won it with a Druid Mill deck that also included Venture Co Merc and Naga Sea Witch. Included Brann, Coldlights, Naturalize, 2x Tree of Life, 2x Healbot and removals. I think I won everything else in 1 try except 1 loss to Normal Mode Silverware Golem... not sure how I lost lol.

I tried a lot of the new cards "for fun" and lost like 9 stars. :D

I cut my second Acolyte of Pain for an Acidic Swamp Ooze. Seems to be a mandatory card in all decks these days with over half the ladder being Warrior, Shaman and Hunter. I'm missing the card draw so I think I'm going to yank the Firelands Portal and go back to a single AOP.

Yeah, so far I'm liking this adventure A LOT more than LoE, the matches in that were so uninspiring and compared to other adventures it seems like they just phoned it in. I enjoyed all these matches, particularly the chess match.

So 1 lesson with this Brawl is that Priest can actually be formidable and fun to play. The other lesson, which applies to this entire game, is that random can be a bitch. My Shaman opponent found that out as he morphed his entire board of 7 creatures and got the 9/7 Deathrattle guy that gives me a 3/3 when it dies and........a Doomsayer. At the time I had one creature on the board. Talk about a turn around in play. I just shook my head and laughed.
