Is this for real? Where are all the unique cards for each boss like there was in Naxx? They just have hero powers and regular cards. No spells or minions or anything that are unique to them. This is awful. Beat all 3 wings in under 8 minutes and it was absolutely atrocious lol.
Edit: Finally saw my first boss specific spell on my first heroic game against Guzzler. Wow. Never saw a single one in the first normal 3. So bad.

Pretty sure I beat all the normal mode naxx wings just as quickly. And I saw boss specific spells on my normal mode playthrough. Your relentless bitching gets pretty old.
On that note, now that I have all the cards unlocked it's time to put Emperor Thaurissan in basically every deck I have!

Bitching? I think discussing legitimate inferior design concerns is pretty normal. My point was this is lazier than Naxx and not nearly as unique or flavorful. I don't know why I'm surprised, but I expected it to at least be as good as Naxx.

Discussion formulated as bitching still comes off as bitching.
I am probably just skipping BRM. I barely play as it is. Maybe if they actually get the game onto my phone so I can fuck around with it at work. Still missing plenty of classic and GvG cards as it is, $25 on a handful of useful cards seems dumb.

Really? I have an HTC One M7. I thought I saw that you could fake it out on some Androids but my phone is getting relatively old so I hadn't thought to look into it more.
Edit: Looking into it now, looks pretty simple. Not convinced it'll be super usable on my tiny screen but worth a shot. Better time killer than hitting refresh on 3 forums constantly while my reports render

So in 3 games I won the two games where I pulled off a Sylvanas/Brawl turn (thank you Thaurissan) but I lost to another warrior deck who was running Grim Patrons. I think it was mostly a fluke, I could have cleared his patrons if it wasn't for the death's bite deathrattle, but if I'd drawn brawl I probably would have beat him. Geddon probably would have cleaned up pretty well too, but I don't have him.
Still, the Bouncing Blades/Grim Patron combo is decently effective against other control decks.

How does BB interact w/ Grim Patron. Does the Patron do his damage after the Blade finishes or during?
Edit:
Nevermind, I confused Grim Patron with the Axe Thrower. I guess my alternative question is will the Patron spawn more before the BB finishes?

Yes, the bouncing blade stops while the Grim Patron spawns a new Grim Patron, creating a new potential target for the blade.

Heroic Moding:
Grim Guzzler (1st):
Beat this first try with a custom rogue deck that had 2x betrayal, 2x sap, 2x backstab, 2x gang up, and then I loaded the rest of my deck with every huge 8+ cost legendary I had. I think it was first turn I got a 8/8 clockwork and he got 2 4/4s - i gang up'd it, and drew nothing but 8/8s and then betrayal'd his 4/4s into each other for board control.
Arena (2nd):
Beat this after 4 attempts with a custom Shaman deck. All control cards (lightning storm, hex, bolt, crackle, 2x windfury, 2x ancestral call (the ressurect one) 2x reincarnate, 2x Ancestors Call (big play here) and only 2 creatures- Sneeds and Kelthuzad
I mulliganed my hands until I got Far Sight / Hex / Ancestors Call / Sneed or Kel in my opening hand. I originally anticpated the Millhouse turn 1 drop, but instead he went Pagle + Lorewalker cho. I shifted gears from trying to pull an early Kel + Sneed infinite combo into a slow roll board control race. So he had 2 0/4s and 2 1/1s, I hexed his next Sylvannas and then drew into another hex for his Mogor the Ogre. He had a full board of 0/1s, 3 1/1s and a 2 0/4s - so I slow played it til I played Spirit Wolves to eat the hexes I played (and he copied from Cho) then laid down Sneeds and reincarn + kill+resummon combo and filled my board up with more legendaries than he could deal with. He couldn't play spells because his hand was full and board was full, I got down to 11 hp from him smacking me with 1/1s before I lightning storm cleared then dropped Kel and just traded + smashed face.
I got down to 4 HP - he burned Geddon when he had a full hand, and he drew Flame Leviathian which dropped me to 2. Pretty fun heroic.
Emp (3rd):
Beat this after 3 attempts as well with a Priest deck. Idea was simple: Get a Stoneskin Gargoyle out, give him double health x2, then inner fire. I dropped Stoneskin turn 4 with a power word shield, he equipped Deaths Bite (2 turn clock basically). I drew into both double health cards and had inner fire, so I two-shot him and lived with 1 HP.

I, too, got first Grim Guzzler heroic on very first try. I did it with a Warlock deck emphasizing the negative battlecry demons (since the hero power negates the battle cry) and mostly 5+ mana minions. Sylvanas , Emporer, Sludge Belchers, KT, etc.
Haven't tried 2nd one yet. My initial thought was to try Warrior or maybe Rogue, but haven't thought about it too much.
