Big Game Hunter trades 4:1 there, amazing value. In fact if they didn't have a DoA or Void Walker / taunt, I wouldn't be surprised if they rage quit after getting hit with a BGH, heh spending all those cards.
I don't think there's any situation where BGH doesn't have amazing value. So yeah that combo is only good on a deck that doesn't have early removals indeed. So a standard Zoo deck pretty much, which is what I was playing
Who doesn't mulligan a BGH though? You'd have to top deck that shit
A type of aggro deck used by Warlocks popularized by Reynad. Basically just a lot of strong early game minions that use the Warlock's Hero Power to keep up tempo.

Does anyone have a pic of such a deck?
I am having trouble with heroic Nax without alextrasa.
There are many versions. Here is one:

True, most people would cycle them in (and probably regret it down the road). When you start losing enough games to innervate Rag or that Zoo opener though, I'm sure you'll start holding on to BGH a bit more often.
It also has the added value of being incredibly useful if you end up facing Handlock and not Zoo as well.
I finally got around to trying the heroics "seriously."
I have to say I'm disappointed. They lied that there would be replayability. And heroic was way too easy.
I know this is just the first wing but so far not happy with the Adventures. It was about 40 minutes of content total. I hope the other wings are somehow better because $7 for about 40 minutes of gameplay is too rich for me. The new cards are still really interesting for competitive play though.
Edit:
I spoiler tagged just in case. It's my "strategy" for beating the last Heroic boss. In case anyone wants to figure it out without any outside influence.

I beat the first 2 with a standard hunter deck. The third I switched out some stuff for 2 Voodoo Doctors and Earthen Ring Farseer and all 4 bows. She filled her board with 1 damage minions so I just ignored them and healed through it until I drew Unleash and Timber Wolf (Hero Powering and going for face with weapons while waiting).

Edit:
Well actually I did kill some minions. I killed the 1/2 spiders so they would become 2 1/1 spiders to fill up her board with 1 damage minions so she wouldn't have the chance to play the bigger ones.
Yeah just started doing it yesterday, too fucking good.
I do wish there had been more story/lore/fluff in the adventure. As someone who never played WoW, I don't even know who these people are that I'm beating. A little voiced story of why I'm going into naxxramus and who all this people are would have really enriched it.
It also would have been nice to have some more side activities like, 'find lethal in this situation' type stuff exactly like they were posting on the news page for a while.

I for one am glad they've kept the Metzen to a minimum.
I keep it if I'm reasonably sure I'm facing Handlock. As a Druid, watching giants flood the board is not an easy sight.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
They're just bosses from a WoW raid. Almost none of them were given good lore (and the one that did have lore was removed and replaced by Baron Rivendare).
I vaguely remember that change. Who did he replace again? I always thought it'd be fun to sub for a month to make a hearthstone tour series.

Mograine, who was the guy with Ashbringer.
I know, but its not the same. I just like being told a story, even a cheesy bad story, while playing a single player adventure.
If u want legendaries you either grind them in arena like i did or you buy packs.

I don't see why not. Naxx cards are only from the quests. If you get a bunch of cards now, it might make the coming fights easier too.
I don't see a reason to wait if you are going to buy packs with it anyway. Having bought and opened the packs is theoretically better than sitting with gold since then you are in a position to take advantage of better disenchant payoffs if any of the cards end up getting nerfed. For the same reason it's optimal to never dust anything until the moment you are actually going to craft something; just let those duplicates and gold cards sit in inventory until then.

Yeah I'm a little disappointed that Kel'Thuzad is basically a clown. The "Maexxna is a GIANT spider! Hahahaha!" thing is a little too much for me.

I survived the 2nd great Yoshichan purge! Huzzah!
Amen brotha.

I think it's great. A bunch of camp for a silly game.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
HOLY SHIT! I just combo'd this game like a rogue with 10/10 mana/cards!
From the same opponent, I got this:
and then this:
and finally, this:
CA-TCHING! 410 gold, baby

He has been playing for months as I recall.

He doesn't have the card backs for April and May, but I guess he probably played a lot in the beta before then and took a break

Dude didnt you just start playing recently?

Calm down, people. I started playing 10-23-2013 (beta) and played it for a few weeks, then took a pause (not a rage break, as mentioned above). I decided to wait for the full release.When the game was launched, I got back into it, played it (got to rank 2) and eventually rage-quit after 3 weeks or so.
And now I'm back again, this time I'll be staying for at least a few months
edit: I know zoukka's joking, but he kinda has a point. I may take (rage)breaks from time to time but when I return to a game, I do it 210%.

Nice. I have about 100 games until I hit 1000.

I know you can check your total ranked and arena wins on the quest page, but that reward counts arena and casual.
Since Yoshi is chill right now I'll vent a bit:
Arcane Missiles snipes my Faerie Dragon
2nd one gets perfect rolls on my next drop
3rd one gets two hits into my 6/7 and one into my 8/2 so he can Fireblast one and cheaply trade the other
Draft 12 1-3cc drops, three out of six games my entire hand is 5-7cc both before and after mulligan
Fuck this shitty game's game-deciding RNG and Blizzard's inability to fix Mages in Arena
I wouldn't even mind the odd run where I get utterly fucked by draws if it wasn't for Naxx. Should have saved more gold...

I passed 6 twice so i pretty much know the feeling. I have given up.
Well at least I usually get enough win so arena doesn't lose me gold compared to outright buying packs. So I'll keep trying. Can't stand playing ladder anymore since the only deck I have is Zoo and I'm bored with it. Can't wait till I get a few good legendaries so I can play a druid or a warrior.

Is this real life? I don't feel like I drafted a strong arena deck at all. (Not pictured is a Stormwind Champion and a Alexstrasza).
Keep in mind i've only even seen Alexstraza show up twice for me. Once in an opening hand discard situation, and another that did admittedly win me a game against a Mage.
Still. I rarely do Arena's because I always feel like I'm total shit at drafting.
