Curse of Naxxramas - New cards, latest news, updates and information
Curse of Naxxramas is the first expansion to Blizzard's digital card game Hearthstone. It was announced on April 11th, 2014 during PAX East and introduced 30 new cards and a brand new single player adventure mode. The expansion will be released for Windows, OS X and iPad.
Thematically, Curse of Naxxramas will be built around Deathrattle - a minion mechanic that triggers when the creature dies and carries out certain effect. The Deathrattle triggers of Naxxramas' cards revealed so far range from dealing damage or buffing minions, summon new creatures or bouncing them back or drawing cards. The only legendary card revealed so far - Baron Rivendare - will push this Deathrattle theme even further, allowing the minions to trigger their Deathrattle effect twice.
Since Naxxramas' ennouncement on April 11th 2014 with the five initial neutral cards presented, Blizzard have revealed one class card each week. To keep track of expansion's progress, we've built this dedicated spoilers page, aimed to keep you constantly updated on all new cards, latest information and relevant news.
On the left, you will see a timeline of all revealed Naxxramas cards, sorted by date from the most recent to the oldest ones. Each card table holds all the information for that card, including mana, stats, rarity, class, effect, the date it has been revealed as well as a short comment from a pro-player. You can use the "Card Log Update" links on the top of this article to navitage around.
On the right, there is a news and information timeline so you can follow Curse of Naxxramas' story from its inception to its full release. More cards, news and player comments will be added with each new revealed card or when a new information surfaces so make sure to tune in often.

Mana: 3 Announced on: 14 May 2014
Pro player's take: “ I like the card, the deathrattle effect can be compared to the one less attack on a [card]Chillwind Yeti[/card]. This deathrattle would be negative in most decks but you might be able to get a few extra combos if you bounce the right unit back.”

Mana: 4 Announced on: 8 May 2014
Pro player's take: “ Huge synergy with the rest of your stanard Warrior Control. The deathrattle is equivalent to a Whirlwind, which can be used to activate the effects of [card]Grommash Hellscream[/card], [card]Armorsmith[/card], [card]Acolyte of Pain[/card], and [card]Frothing Berserker[/card]. Although the weapon itself isn't as cost-effective as [card]Fiery War Axe[/card] or [card]Arcanite Reaper[/card], the deathrattle will definitely make it a strong card.”

Mana: 1 Announced on: 30 April 2014
Pro player's take: “ I think this card is a little undervalued right now. It's essentially a +3/+2 buff for ONE mana. Although there's the factor of your opponent having to activate it and what not, but say you have a [card]Harvest Golem[/card] or [card]Cairne Bloodhoof[/card] get destroyed. Their deathrattles become a 5/3 and 7/7, respectively. I think we're going to see some interesting things with this card.”

Mana: 4 Announced on: 23 April 2014
Pro player's take: “ It´s a card that is supposed to compensate what was always missing in a Druid Deck - a hard removal for big minions; at the same time it is a versatile card and it can be used in combination with [card]Abomination[/card], [card]Force of Nature[/card] or Deathrattle cards, we have to wait and see what creative minds come up with.”

Mana: 4 Announced on: 11 April 2014
Pro player's take: “ looks really strong and is a unique card. If you can combine it with Cairne, and get a double Baine, it can win you games. If you want to play Baron Rivendare, you need to play a Deathrattle deck. I don’t think the card will be OP, you can only use the strength of the card with some death rattle’s on the board, but it will get a place in some decks.”

Mana: 3 Announced on: 11 April 2014
Pro player's take: “ Got lot of mixed feelings about it. It's very similar to the Questing Adventurer with less buffing potential but with survival tech via Stealth. Coining out this beastie may be quite good. But still, it's a great target for Silence. And Flares are kinda heavily played right now.”

Mana: 2 Announced on: 11 April 2014 Pro player's take: “ Seems like a bad Pagle in a meta that will most likely shift into more silences and more outs for deathrattles, feels as if this card will rarely get value unless you can introduce it with a buff combo so you can actually attack with it in hopes of trading it before it gets silenced, otherwise your opponent can choose to ignore it while you have a useless 0/2 that feeds your board presence to their Unleash the Hounds for example.”

Mana: 3 Announced on: 11 April 2014
Pro player's take: “ Underwhelming stats for the Deathrattle it has, if your plan is to play it combined with a silence, Ancient Watcher is a much better choice. King Mukla is also a better tempo play for a 3-drop. Possibility in a mill-deck with Baron Rivendare? Not sure, haha.”

Mana: 1 Announced on: 11 April 2014
Pro player's take: “ A better Secretkeeper - that's for sure. Even without the rest of the new set of cards he's really good. Imagine a follow-up turn with two Leper Gnomes. We got Loot Hoarder, Thalnos, Harvest Golems, Cairne, Highmane and the new ones also (I think of you, Nerubian Egg). This one drop will be a staple in the new Deathrattle Decks.”
