Yeah, that is a mistype. I meant the Gold Cards.

I think that is the plan for me, open 200 packs with the gold I earned, and gets a shitload of dust.
Yeah I'm thinking of just buying the thing too and using all my gold on packs, 20bucks is like nothing for the amount of time I played anyway and probably the amount of time I'll play Naxx(which isn't that much but I expect 10ish hours total maybe, which is reasonable for 20bucks not even counting the rest).

Decided to do a pair of arenas, scrubbed out 4-3 both times. Got a hungry crab from the first pack, so I wasn't expecting anything from the second one.

I have a ton of gold cards already. My reason behind buying the Naxx gold cards with dust is from what I understand that is the only way to get them.

Where you can always get normal gold cards from packs etc.

I really want to disenchant gold Jaraxxus. Thats any other legendary of my choosing, I already have a non-gold Jaraxxus, and he's way too fucking slow for this meta.

First World Problems.

I have disenchanted every single gold card I've ever gotten if I already had 2 regular copies of it. Dust is more important than shiny card. I wouldn't hesitate to dust that jaraxxus for some other legendary I wanted either.

I do the opposite lol. Always about the shiny it is more important than winning anyway! Gotta have the bling.

Ya, I think the heroic ones scare me the most. I do enjoy though how they are keeping things consistent across their brand though as WoW has a lot of these hero powers and associated cards being ripped straight out of the raid fights.

60 packs, 3 legendaries. 2x Tirion and golden Iildan. A fair amount of epics and decent amount of gold cards. I ended up with 4725 dust from it.

so for the first three bosses on heroic mode, I'm thinking:

Anub'Rekhan (Heroic) 30 (45) Skitter - Summon a 3/1 Nerubian. Cost: 2 Skitter - Summon a 4/4 Nerubian. Cost: 2

Freeze mage should work here. stall until flamestrike, use nova/doomsayer combo, alex and then burn the rest. It's going to be hard to compete in a straight up board control fight against a 4/4 every turn plus whatever cards Anub is playing.

Grand Widow Faerlina (Heroic) 30 (45) Rain of Fire - Fire a missile for each card in your opponent's hand. Cost: 2 Rain of Fire - Fire a missile for each card in your opponent's hand. Cost: 1

I think zoo will work here, dump your hand and keep dumping it while clearing whatever she plays.

Maexxna (Heroic) 30 (45) Web Wrap - Return a random enemy minion to your opponent's hand. (Costs 2 Mana) Web Wrap - Return 2 random enemy minions to your opponent's hand.

cancer rogue with extra chargers, or face-warrior should be fine here.

Well obviously the AI has to cheat to stand a chance, might be improved from the current one but doubt it's anything smart so without cheating you'd just crush the shit out of it playing typical power decks and I'd say especially shit like aggro decks(rush hunter/paladin, murlock and maybe even zoo would probably wreck the AI on turn 5-6 every game if they didn't have OP hero powers/cards).

Will probably need to tweak decks a bit for heroic challenges, play cards that you wouldn't play against a player because they match well against specific bosses. Like Mind Control Tech is probably be gonna be money against certain bosses that summon a lot of shit, or stacking a fuckton of aoe removal like double pyromancer double swipe double starfall double abom and geddon or some shit, just so you make sure everything is cleared all the time.

Hell might even be nice to make a rogue mill deck for the bosses that play like slow shit and a lot of control.

So, this thread is derpily long.

Is this card game a decent casual time killer? If so, what's a good site for info on how to get started?

iPad version is already offline for me.
Well that's maintenance, midnight to 8AM PST they said(well that's expected time). Naxx isn't activated until later on though, won't be available right away, I assume they'll do live test with tagged accounts, monitor load and download progress of the patch and shit before they open it. If everything goes well I'd say noon for the actual release but who knows, they also didn't take any risk on the euro release date, even though it's a global release it's slated for the 23rd, which at the earliest would be 3PM pacific for midnight in central europe. So yeah could be at any point during the day.

Would not be remotely surprised to see the downtime extended and/or tons of login/connectivity issues once it does go live.
