    Naxxramas raid deck

    I know there is limited information about the contents of the Naxxramas raid deck but I was hoping someone could shine some light of hope on a card I think a lot of us want to have in our arsenal. Corrupted Ashbringer.. the question remains. Is this raid deck based on the level 60 version or level 80 version of Naxxramas? Considering one of the bosses you fight would be the four horsemen hopefully they left the original horsemen Highlord Mograine.

    I think what is important is back when I first saw the Corrupted Ashbringer I thought of it as a true death knight blade now with the new death knight deck if this weapon were to be available as a card it would be a really great lore piece for people who remember the blade from the game.

    Thanks

    The only thing that I have seen is here:

    Not much else. I am interested in the set as I have all the raid sets thus far. I still consider Oniyxia My favorite one thus far.

    Re: Naxxramas raid deck

    The Naxxramas Raid Deck is based upon the Level 80 version of the instance. Baron Rivendare will be one of the Four Horsemen, just like in the MMO.

    Re: Naxxramas raid deck

    It could've been based on the level 60 version, but then you'd need at least 6 Warriors in your party each with 5 epic pieces of armor in play just to face the 4 Horsemen.

    Re: Naxxramas raid deck

    Thank goodness for the lvl 80 version.

    I would not want to restart the raid everytime a card bugged out, or Anub'rekahn disappeared for no reason.

    Instead, the 4 horsemen just check if you have a pulse and if you are awake before falling over.  If you are asleep during the pulse check, your chance to kill them drops to 75%.

    Re: Naxxramas raid deck

    I am not into the game, but could someone tell me what powers this boss has?
    What is the difference in level of boss characters?

    That reminds me of a funny joke I saw on one of the MMO forums one day:

    Why do the 4 Horsemen run to opposite corners of the room when you pull them? Because they saw the raid AOE-ing every trash pack down and made a judgment call.
    ;)

    You can see what the 4 Horsemen do in the MMO here:

    In the TCG, they're in the Naxxramas Raid Deck, which is coming out soon. In the TCG, the 4 Horsemen's powers are:

    ...
    ..
    .

    Ah, you almost got me there. Sorry, not gonna give away the secrets :)

    Don't worry, the raid deck will be out before you know it. You'll get your shot at Baron Rivendare, Thane Korth'azz, Sir Zeliek and Lady Blameaux soon enough.

    Or, as Baron Rivendare himself says, "Enough prattling. Let them come. We shall grind their bones to dust."

    To be fair, I was one of the few people who tried the instance at the gear level they mistakenly designed it for, mostly blues. Our entire raid was mostly blues. That stuff is actually a bit hard then.

    the 40 man version of Grobbulus was a nightmare. Imagine getting 40 people dropping poison clouds everywhere.

    Re: Naxxramas raid deck

    I'm sorry, but I have loads of questions about the future Naxxramas deck.

    *Will Naxxramas have abilities in hand and allies put directly into play, without a single equipment/quest/location/etc... like the previous ones (except for Magtheridon), or will it have some changes from the previous ones?
    *Are you going to make it draw more than one card per turn so that we can't control-lock it like the Molten Core and Black Temple ones? I remember doing BT with two other players and winning by completely locking it, which was completely boring for the poor boss player.
    *Will it be much more challenging that Black Temple, or are we going to completely crush with a 5-men team that already completely crushes BT?
    *Are you going to clarify the Raid Rules before Naxxramas' release? For example, are you going to clarify what you mean by remove in R101.3c or correct rule R101.3a so that the parentheses part clearly apply to all of the paragraph?
    *Will you add in the Raid Rules the deck customization rules so that players who lost their raid rulebooks may retrieve them? Are you going to add new official customization rules so that the old raids may be boosted a little bit (friends of mine crushed Onyxia with only two players).

    Sorry for taking so much of your time.

    Re: Naxxramas raid deck

    They have been very tight lipped about the raid deck, so I think it's safe to say that it will be a challenge (hopefully). With 15 bosses it should be one heck of a raid.

    Re: Naxxramas raid deck

    I think it's VERY cool that they made Loot packs for purchase. Now you can buy the raid, play the raid.. and then play the raid again with moar lewtz! Granted, the treasure cards won't be worth nearly as much as they would have been, who cares? I think Upper Deck is doing an amazing job with this cardgame. Coming from tons of other games in the past, I'm very impressed with this one overall.

    I'm just curious, when you say BT is too easy, are you playing it in normal mode, or hard mode?
