Hearthstone: Curse Of Naxxramas Plague Quarter Guide

The second wing of Hearthstones Curse of Naxxramas Adventure is now live, featuring six new card unlocks, three new bosses, and two new hero challenges. Theres also Heroic mode for those looking to snag bragging rights and special card backs. Lets take a look at what cards come with the package and how to tackle the heroic modes, which are a tad harder than the challenges in the Arachnid Quarter.

Card Unlocks:

Duplicate (Mage): This card seems like it will be the cornerstone of secret-based Mage decks once Mad Scientist is available later in Naxxramas. Swarms of cheap battelcry and deathrattle creatures will make this card powerful, despite initial oohs and ahhs revolving around hands packed with multiple copies of Ragnaros.

Loatheb: A solid 5/5 for 5 that can cause massive headaches for spell-oriented decks.

Stoneskin Gargoyle: A frontrunner for a new wave of decks that revolve around minion buffs, once you get this on the table and beef it up a bit it can be a real nightmare for opponents that lack hard removal spells.

Sludge Belcher: Im a big fan of cards that give you extra value even after they die, so this is a nice addition to the worlds Harvest Golem army.

Unstable Ghoul: Midrange and late game decks that can have difficulty with early game rush will find the Unstable Ghoul a valuable ally.

Webspinner: Randomly getting a King Krush or Starving Buzzard is kind of fun for a one drop beastie, but Im not sold on its viability just yet.
