Wailing Soul will see a lot of use. The stats are not too bad and it'll work so well with so many other cards.

So are there new Nax card packs?
No, all the Naxx cards are earned from defeating the AI bosses in Naxxramas.
All the Naxx cards are unlocked via playing through the Naxx adventure mode. No packs.

Wailing soul is only a senjin but with a potentially negative battlecry. Not sure if I like that card much. If it were a 4/5 then I might consider picking over yeti.

Oh cool only knew that i needed 700 gold per wing. So do all wings open at the same time or is it week after week?
1/week.
One wing per week

I wonder if druid "choose one" cards are affected by neurbar weblord.

I think going by the facebook page, there's 31 (rebirth is still listed there which is replaced by reincarnate), but technically only 30 are in Naxx as rewards as Thaddius isn't an obtainable card iirc. Or maybe he is? I don't know, it could work either way, since he's listed there, I just sorta assumed you summoned him via having the other two die, but maybe you can cast him from your deck too.
Nah cant be
Doubt it.
Keeper, based on that old bug, creates spells for its effect.
Druid actually turns into a different card before it's played.

Well this was clearly added to counter zoolock and aggro decks lol
edit:
Also just read from ben brode that the neurbar weblord doesn't affect druid choose one cards.

I think you're right, I just quickly counted the cards.
I feel like this is really unreliable in Constructed, but great in Arena. It trades with (pretty much?) every 2-drop, and Warriors especially can really utilize the Whirlwind-effect late-game.

Why is that? 3/2s die to its death rattle. 2/3s don't kill it in one hit and if hit twice it dies to deathrattle. I basically look at it like a 2/3 taunt with a twist.
Considering no cards are rotated out (though maybe effectively removed due to better options), it's not that few. Also, this isn't a proper "expansion" and just a small addition of some cards. For those only following from release, it's fairly well timed I'd imagine.
For those of us from beta ... well.
Also worth noting is the first week is free.
Meant unreliable against control-decks.

Do we know anything about wing length? It would be nice if they are each as long as the tutorial with 5-6 battles each.

Eh, maybe. If it forces a control deck to use a removal on it, then I think it is good against control decks early on. And later it can protect your line up so it isn't entirely useless, but can backfire on you at the same time. I'd imagine some decks can afford to ignore it some, but then it could backfire on them since it is a taunt and will add extra protection to other minions on the board.
I better draw my consecrate turn 4

Just looked at the class cards, and is it just me or is reincarnate the weakest of the bunch. Why use reincarnate when you have ancestral spirit?
Overall I am very pleased with the new cards. They contain a bunch of new ideas/mechanics and don't just feel like more of the same.
Especially looking forward to trying out the practically of a reincarnate combo deck with 2x reincarnate, sylvanas, leeroy, fuegen, and stalagg as the power cards.
Sludge belcher looks really strong although kind of sad that it just completely obsoletes fen creeper.
I'm especially pleased with all the great 5 drops now. Fuegen, Stalagg, Loatheb, Spectral Knight, and Sludge Belcher. Azure Drake finally has competition.

Sylvanas.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
If it's like the WoW raid:
Spider Wing - 3 boss battles
Plague Wing - 3 boss battles
Military Wing - 3 boss battles
Constuct Wing - 4 boss battles
Frostwyrm - 2 boss battles (I'm guessing they'll add an extra one here)
Spider/Plague/Military Wing has 3 bosses, Construct Wing has 4 and Frostwyrm Lair has 2, every boss has one normal and one heroic mode deck, And 9 of the bosses has an additional class challenge against them.
So that is 39 total matches over all wings.

Wailing soul counters the heck out of frost nova/blizzard stalling lol...
It's a faster Ancestral Spirit, primarily there for abusing Deathrattles / Charge on demand. It also has offensive uses of stripping buffs from things your opponent has played.
Yeah, one-sided silence is potentially massive, especially since it's tied to a minion body that isn't awful. Quite a potentially fun tech card.

Im just scared of Ancient Watcher+Ancient Watcher+Wailing Soul combo.
Beast actually viable now? Also great with Dancing Swords
reincarnate is waaaaaay better for the simple fact that you get to control when it goes off instead of your opponent and can't be countered by silence.
You can:
leeroy + 2x re for 18 damage burst
fuegen/stalagg + re for extra thaddius
Alakir + re for 12 damage burst
sylvanas + re to steal a minion and play sylvanas all in 1 turn
nerubien egg + re for a 2 mana 4/4
cairne + re for a 2 mana yeti
'silence' a giant that has been taunted via argus/sunfury
silence a twilight drake (since it will come back as 4/1)
deactivate an ancient watcher
unsilence and full heal any of your minions
Everything the card does it little situational/cute things but the list of cute things it does is quite long. It will also be a difficult card to read and play around because in each of the situations where its applicable it does something completely different. Anywhere from a silence, to a yeti, to 6 damage burst.
It's hard to say if it will actually perform well or not though because it is a combo piece but I am excited to try it out.
Mr. Bigglesworth final boss.
