Hearthstone

So you don't even get anything for completing the heroics?

Maexxna in a priest deck? Get value and keep her big ass alive with heals, pw/s?

I guess the card back is tied to completing all the heroics.

Oh and Void Terror on F&S shouldn't spawn 4. First one dies, no other mob died before, nothing happens, 2nd dies, deathrattle procs because of first one, spawns 2 because of Rivendare. You wouldn't get both deathrattles at the same time since they only work when the other died before and they either died and as such their deathrattle is gone or didn't die and their deathrattle goes off(but then the other is already dead). Might be weird mechanics with the way deathrattle vs death is handled though.

if both feugen and stalagg are on the board and they die at the same time, you get 2 Thaddius - 1 for each. with rivendare you get 4 thaddius. Brode confirmed 2 thaddius' are spawned if they die at the same time:Twitter / bdbrode: @KindbudiiIchig0 both get ...

Maexxna gave me major headaches, but just now beat her. Deck I went with was a druid deck loaded with removal, silence, heals, and 2 naturalize. Basically, I removed everything she played, took major advantage of things like ironbeak owl silence, keeper of the grove nuke, druid of the claw charge as reusable removal. Win condition was running her out of cards with naturalizes. I won with 30 life and 9 armor.

I used this as the basis for my deck. I don't have Leroy or Greenskin yet, so it seemed like the way to go.

One of my first games I was gaining a net of 2 life and and dealing 1 damage a turn with the board capped out on Maexxna's side. She would deck before me and easily lose the race. And for some reason I decided to clear the board. It did not end well for me. Don't be dumb and do that. Just win the game.

I've been trying out a warlock deck that uses deathrattles to some effect. it's similar to the midrange warlock deck strifecro was using quite a while back. Basically, you use shadowflame, power overwhelmings, and void terrors to active your deathrattle minions when it's beneficial, or to get more synergy out of them. it still requires a few cards that haven't been released yet but here's the bones:


I've had some success with it, you can activate the egg in many ways, usually just from a stray hellfire or giving it taunt along with a watcher or something. you can set up kill combos with leeroy+PO+faceless just like handlock, but it can also win the endgame with jaraxxus and alex. Activating an egg with a void terror alone isnt terrible, but definitely PO the egg, run it into something, and then VT to save the stats onto the VT. Watchers make good VT fodder on turn 3, and then you can taunt it on turn 4. Abom's can also activate a nerubian egg nicely. Wolfrider and demonfire are slots that will change to new cards when more of naxx gets released, I had it as a second siphon soul but that felt too slow. shadowbolt sorta works, but demonfire or soul siphon are better against zoo. The wolfrider is for the same purpose, but since it's an actual body it can lead to good combos with PO, void terror, shadowflame, etc.

Does anyone think the new bosses' lines are sometimes indistinguishable from what you would hear in other Blizzard games ?

Quality writing.

I gotta say, watching zilea be unable to beat heroic maexnna is pretty funny.

Poison seeding a doomguard may be my new favorite thing.

I take it back, lol auctioneer.

Vaclav, was that your paladin arena deck I just played against? Did you pull the plug? Lol (IGN: Sean, shaman deck)

Yea that was me, you had me and my MTGO game popped up so rushed out.

Your build is sick FYI.

(Probably should've conceded, not played in months and forgot how to access it when right click wasn't pulling it up like MTGO does)

Beat all three heroics with my normal frost mage. No alterations at all. Took 4 matches to beat all 3. I'd say they are too easy and hope the future wings provide more challenge, otherwise everyone is going to have Uber card back.

I should note at some point, I gifted ~$40 back when in packs but hey, times were heady right? I figure I've paid mine.

(*translation being, not a chance I be giving money for a wing a week that takes me twenty minutes to clear.) Son?!~

well they must have buffed the bosses then since I was only able to beat the 2nd boss on heroic with some luck and multiple tries so I wouldnt die to her stupid combos like the followers that give her +3 attack, the enrage and whatnot

Maexx is just complete cheese. I don't even see how Alex is that great much less necessary for it. Just keep alive through midgame with Voodoo Doctor and Farseer, make sure her whole board is 1/1's with no taunts, by turn ten you're bouncing Guardian of King heals and Arcane Golem for the eventual boring ass win. I had to load up some disposable low cost cards just to make sure I didn't get fucked on draw and avoid having my hand fill while drawing. Used Eye for an Eye and Light's justice as filler, two consecrates, one hammer, two holy lights. Double Humility and an Aldor to hit the bigger stuff with a one attack debuff, might want to save one in case she gets a Sea Giant out. Stonetusk boar for a one drop early, two Bluegills and Wolfriders with two Blessings of Might for early minion trading with the stuff that wasn't one attack or taunters. Once you get Guardian in hand and have the mana you can essentially use any charger but Golem works nice because its an even ten mana. I had Leeroy in deck but honestly he would be a bit of a pain due to the mana cost. Two weapons help get some earlier healing and I just went to face with them for extra damage.

Here's the deck I used in case anyone wants to do the same on her:

They didn't buff anything, but your deck is a major component on how you handle the fights and some decks just are much better at it than others, with some even being good against all of them(aggro paladin and freeze mage seem fine for all 3 from what I've read).

I did use an aggro deck vs Faerlina but took me like 3 attempts before the rng was just right
Maexxna was stupidly easy afterwards
