We’re currently in the middle of maintenance for Hearthstone, so I wanted to use this time to wish you all well when Naxxramas opens its gates. Before you head off to fight the good fight in the Arachnid Quarter, I have a couple of tools to help you out.

Notes on the Maintenance

First, words on the actual maintenance itself. If you don’t see Naxxramas sitting there waiting for you to wreck the bosses inside right after maintenance concludes, don’t panic! We have a blue post from Aratil to note that this maintenance is not actually for rolling out Curse of Naxxramas. That will happen as soon as possible after the maintenance has finished.

Just wanted to clarify that this maintenance is not for the Curse of Naxxramas Adventure. We will be turning on Curse of Naxxramas for all regions at the same time some time after this maintenance is complete, but please do not expect Naxxramas to be available immediately following this maintenance.

Curse of Naxxramas Spoiler List

After yesterday’s massive reveal of the second half of the Curse of Naxxramas set, we now know all of the cards that we can expect to be rewarded with by defeating the bosses within the dread necropolis. We here at Blizzpro have been steadily compiling all of the cards as Team 5 doled them out via Twitter and Facebook. With the full reveal, we have further organized the cards to help you determine which ones you’ll receive in each quarter. Here they all are, centrally located at our Spoiler List page.

This is a great way to suss out all of the sweet, sweet synergies both within the set and potentially for your already carefully honed favorite decks.

A Visit From Naxxramas

Lastly, Riosix, a moderator over at Hearthpwn put together a Naxxramas-flavored spin on the classic A Visit From St. Nicholas. View the new poem below or at its original forum post:

‘Twas the night before Naxxramas and all through the Inn,
Not a minion was summoned, not even an Imp
The players were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Deathrattles danced in their heads

When from outside there came such a roar,
The Innskeeper jumped up and ran to the door
When he reached outside, what did he spy?
But a floating necropolis high in the sky!

Among the venom dripping spiders and disgusting ghouls that clawed,
Walked the Lich Lord of the Plaguelands, the evil Kel’Thuzad
He spoke with a boom that echoed ‘cross the land,
With a menacing grin and a skull in one hand:
“On Sapphiron, On Thaddius, On Heigan the Unclean,”
“On Abominations and Geists and every kind of fiend!”
“On Loatheb, On Gluth, On Baron Rivendare,”
“On Patchwerk the wretched, your living nightmare!”

The players awoke from their slumber, grabbed their decks and prepared,
Cardslingers of all levels, not one of them scared.
They ran into the night and stood strong without fear,
Bursting with excitement, it was finally here.
Kel’Thuzad cackled with laughter, he had never seen such a sight,
“Happy Naxxramas to all and to all a good fight!”

Good luck to all of you as you take down your first bosses in Naxxramas!
