GUESS WHAT THE MOONFIRE CARD ART HAS
AMAZ PROVOKING HIS OPPONENT
AMAZ: BELIEVE!
Amaz thought that he needed to topdeck a card that can provide him with lethal damage. But should he really be hoping for a god draw?
"LICH KING" HEARTHSTONE CARD BACK IS SO COOL
This is probably the coolest card back I've ever seen. I just love the shades of blue, and it's very soothing to the eyes. Unfortunately, this is a conceptual card back, made by artist Yanmo Zhang who also works at Blizzard. You can check out more of his works here: http://www.artofyanmo.com/
Let's hope that Blizzard takes this into consideration!

AMAZ DECLARES "1=2" IN A RANKED MATCH
TURN ONE "THE BEAST" PLAY. THE DREAM!
"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD"
A glorious win in just one turn, thanks to a surprise The Beast play using Innervates and the coin. Luckily, the opponent didn't have Aldor Peacekeeper or Humility. Great editing!
THE POWER OF MILLHOUSE MANASTORM: Opponent Says Thanks
Proving once again that Millhouse Manastorm is the best minion... to fight against if you have a lot of kill spells in your hand. Imagine being a Mage and having three Pyroblasts. Millhouse grants the dreams of your opponents.
THE MOST UNIQUE PLAYS IN HEARTHSTONE
I present to you, the following images of fascinating plays. As one person from reddit commented, "it's not about winning, it's about sending a message."
That's right. Do you feel threatened now? He played Pit Lord, and then used Sacrificial Pact on it in the same turn. Don't you dare mess with him. He just inflicted five damage unto himself, and healed immediately.
I shall use the coin to summon a 4/3 in my first turn. Tremble before me! But before that, I shall sacrifice it for free.
AMAZ COUNTERS GIANTS MAGE AND ITS FLAMESTRIKE
Amaz entertains, and delivers once again. This time though, it's as if he was possessed by Trump as he properly educated about the proper way of countering a Flamestrike from a Mage deck user, having a Mountain Giant in play.
In the video below, Amaz realizes that his opponent is preparing for a Flamestrike board sweep, as his minions were damaged to the point of them having four health left. He played Mirror Image to avoid any direct damage and persuading the opponent to play Flamestrike, but he also dropped Sylvanas Windrunner on the board, hitting it with his own Holy Smite to bring it to 3 health so that a Flamestrike would kill it, trigger the Deathrattle ability, and give Amaz his opponent's Mountain Giant.
ATTENTION: MOGUSHAN WARDEN RENAMED
Shots fired.
And if that wasn't enough, here are a few more humorous comments that provide the Hearthstone and World Cup 2014 overlap:
1. "You could say Brazil got Gorehowl'd by Germany"
2. "He defends better than Brazil though."
3. "The back of their net sure had Taunt."
4. "You could say Brazil were really close to an Oasis Snapjaw."

GOLDEN VERSIONS OF NAXXRAMAS CARDS CAN BE CRAFTED
Yes, you can have golden versions of the cards you get from playing the Curse of Naxxramas adventure mode. This was confirmed by Community Manager Zeriyah over at the Battle.Net forums. However, you can only craft the golden version of the card if you have already acquired the normal version
Additionally, all cards will be available in Arena Mode even if you don't open up a wing and beat the bosses. That means that once Arachnid Quarter opens, all cards that can be acquired from it will show up in Arena mode.

.TRIPLE MANA WYRM!
Yes, we all love doing the first turn Mana Wyrm + Coin + Mirror Image combo to get a 3/3 first drop, but what happens here in Arena mode is a bit more crazier.
That' right. A first turn play of one Mana Wyrm, followed up by a second turn drop of two Wyrms, then Coin + Mirro Image. It's a lot of trouble for such an early game. That's arena for you.

Card Recess: The Sorrows of Brazil, The Triumph of Germany
A series of images that will illustrate the sheer agony the Brazilian soccer fans felt as they lost to Germany, scoring only a single point against the latter's seven.
Yes, it is a very sad day for Brazil as they lose to Germany, but we have to applaud the latter for their triumph. Congratulations, Germany!

TRUMP Joins Team SoloMid (TSM)!
Trump is now part of TSM! Andy "Reginald" Dinh says that he is very impressed with the skill and talent Trump has when it comes to playing Hearthstone, stating that the partnership will only prove to be beneficial for the parties involved.
As stated in their site, Trump is a very popular e-sports player, having almost 250,000 followers on Twitch and 250,000 subscribers on YT. What makes fun to watch is that he's very analytic when it comes to playing Hearthstone, carefully talking to his audience about strategy and possible outcomes. Aside from Hearthstone, TSM is aiming to have a domineering presence in League of Legends and in Smite.

BUY THE 4-WING BUNDLE WITH REAL MONEY INSTEAD OF GOLD: Here's Why
Let's do some simple math here: If you get to play during the Launch Event, the first wing (Arachnid Quarter) is free. That simply means that the remaining four quarters will cost you $19.99 or 2800 gold. Every dollar you will spend for Naxxramas will be equivalent to 140 gold.
Now, think about the 40 expert pack bundle that costs around $50 or 4000 gold. Every dollar spent buying packs is equivalent to only 80 gold. So, what does this mean?
Now, think about the 40 expert pack bundle that costs around $50 or 4000 gold. Every dollar spent buying packs is equivalent to only 80 gold. So, what does this mean?
What does this mean? If you are willing to spend real money on the game, your dollars have much better value if they are spent for the Naxxramas bundle packages rather than for buying expert packs. This is a great marketing strategy from Blizzard, making sure that it's better to spend all the gold we saved for Naxx on packs instead. But we're not complaining.
Well played, Blizzard.
CURSE OF NAXXRAMAS PRICING REVEALED: 700 Gold Per Wing
Finally, the pricing has been revealed! Naxxramas is a floating necropolis, and it consists of five wings all having undead bosses. There will be five wings, and these are (in order of release):
1. Arachnid Quarter
2. Plague Quarter
3. Military Quarter
4. Construct Quarter
5. Frostwrym Lair
Yes, you read that right. Frostwyrm lair!

Additionally, players who start the adventure mode during the launch event will get free access to Arachnid Quarter, the first wing. This event will last for a month, so there's a hefty amount of time to get in touch with Anub'Rekhan, Grand Widow Faerlina, and Maexxna. Moving on, the next four quarters can be bought for 700 gold each or $6.99 per wing. That means you can do your daily quests and save up some gold, or you can spend real money and contribute to the game financially.
Finally, they have provided bundle packages if you want some savings:
If you didn't get to play at the Arachnid Quarter during the launch event, you can spend $24.99 to get access to all five wings. If you do make it in time, all you have to do is spend $19.99 on the remaining four wings. Spending gold on the second wing does not prevent you from buying the "already own first two wings" bundle for $14.00, and the same goes for the $9.99 package when you have the first three.
Also, defeating all of the bosses in a wing will give you access to Heroic Mode, which will allow you to fight the more difficult versions of the bosses. If you defeat all of the bosses in Naxxramas on Heroic mode, you will unlock a new card back.
