Fireside Chat: Heroic Naxxramas Progression

by - 10 years ago

I am please to report that during the wee hours this morning, I vanquished Heroic Kel’Thuzad and unlocked my shiny new card back! It was a long and hard fought battle after nearly 2 weeks of banging my head against Grobbulus but I was determined to defeat him before I moved on in progression. Late last night I finally caved and netdecked a priest deck that was surprisingly similar to the one that I was already using, and a dozen attempts later, I was finally working on Gluth. Having already caved on my personal “No Netdecking” policy, I decided to use some of the deck lists I’ve been sent recently by well meaning individuals and thankfully they made the rest of the fights surprisingly easy. All in all, I found The Curse of Naxxramas to be an extremely enjoyable delivery method for the new cards that have been shaking up the meta, and the Heroic version did a great job of forcing me to look at deck building from a new perspective. 10/10, would play again. Even if Grobbulus did slow roll me with the BM every time he had lethal…

So how about you guys? How has your Heroic Naxxramas progression been going? Is there any particular boss you’ve been banging your head against? Did you need to netdeck to defeat any of the wings? Have an urge to brag about how quickly you unlocked your card back? Let us know your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!

    I netdecked for Grobbulus, Sapphiron and Kel’Thuzad. I probably could have figured out the last 2 myself, but I wanted that new card back ASAP, and since I’d already used netdecking for Grob, I just gave in. I really enjoyed the challenge, it was fun honing my decks and optimizing them depending on the boss.

    I still wish they had given golden versions of the cards for beating heroic mode- it’s going to take forever to grind enough dust to even make a few. You can’t even luck into any golden Nax cards with card packs since they’re not included.

      I’m still missing a ton of Legendaries that get higher priority in the crafting queue than the golden naxx cards. Seems like more people are able to beat the heroics than scrape enough dust to craft the golden versions!
