I don't know, I still think you should have gotten gold for the first time that you have beaten it, at the very least. It's still effort that you've made.

What sense would it really make for Blizzard to have you use gold or money to get into the quarters (except obviously the first quarter) to then get back some of the gold you spent to get in there?

I was surprised at not getting gold either or that the games don't count towards your daily quests. 

I assume it is to make the 700 a bit harder to attain so you eventually have to pay and not church the gold out.

They could have created a daily quest for gold. What's the incentive for me to do adventure mode once I beat it? To essentially pay 20.00 or 2800 gold for 30 new cards?

Are we guaranteed to get all the new cards?  Or do we have to play through the quests several times?

All the new cards are soulbound and guaranteed rewards for completing the quests.

I feel like having a deck of strong Battlecriers would help with heroic Maexxna as you'd get to reuse the effects after her hero power, however you'd need removal/silences for the minions that make BCers cost more.

What class were you using Lambo?

Yeah, I beat Heroic Maexxna at lunchtime on a fluke - and to answer your question, even though it wasn't directed at me, I did it on a hunter. :)

Hunter is probably the best option. The deck I used:

Hunters Mark x2 (could probably be swapped)
Arcane Shot x2
Elven Archer x2
Voodoo Doctor x2
Explosive Trap x2
Snipe x2
Faerie Dragon x2
Mad Bomber x2
Murloc Tidehunter x2 (The token is 0 mana, so it means nothing if she returns it to hand)
Wild Pyro x2 (can probably be swapped)
Unleash the Hounds x2
Earthen Ring Farseer x2
Mind Control Tech x2 (VERY useful)
Multishot x2
Stormwind Knight x2

Freeze Mage is the best against Maexxna. Stall to turn 9, then Alextrasza does the heavy lifting.

I finally beat heroic max using a variation mage.  I don't have alextrassessa or the archmage.   I ended up winning by decking both decks out and using stormrager to create board presence once we were both top decking/ out of cards.

Lame...I spent all that time to beat the Heroic stages and got no cards for the effort.  :-(
I thought Maxi was easy (charge and healing did the job on my first try.)

It was the Grand Widow that gave me a headache.

I don't play Warlock (I think that hero is still level 1 with the 10 basics).  In addition to this, I don't have all the cards for "Zoo" (at least not the version that I've seen run).


Maybe that is why I struggled against her?

I beat all three on my first try with Shockadin.  Heroic Mode is tough, but I gave up once I found out there's no rewards for it.  Once I have an Alexstraza I'll do them with Frost Mage.

Frost Mage with Alexstraza didn't work well for me at all on the Grand Widow.  Her ability power was crushing by itself, and her minions were sic to top it off.

Technically, there is a reward for Heroic.

If you beat all 5 wings on Heroic, you get a new card back.

I'm a little disappointed how easy the Heroic bosses were. 1-shotted all of them on Normal, and managed to 2-shot the first two bosses on Heroic and miraculously 1-shotted Heroic Maex.

Edit: Also, update on the current meta -- Zoo got a pretty nice buff since they can activate the Eggs a billion different ways, but I've been playing Priest and it rocks hardcore now. The Shadow Madness x2 to take and keep deathrattles is awesome, and also the 4/5 guy that takes a 2 or less Attack minion is strong.

So I've been playing 2 weeks and used hunter to smash all 3 took me 5 tries total to beat all 3.

What's a good site to find meta decks?  I obviously have a super limited group of cards but am starting to get there.

I need someone to talk me out of dropping $50 on 40 packs this weekend.

I guess I ask why you're doing it. If it's out of frustration, then I would say no, and use gold from dailies to buy cards. If it's because you wanna support what they're doing, then I say go for it. It's all about the purpose behind it. :)

I bought the 40-pack option once just to get myself a foot in the door on card collecting. I think I've ended up disenchanting a lot of them for dust to then craft other cards but it helped me get a start. I knew I'd be playing the game fairly regularly so it was worth the investment to me at the time.

In the end it's up to you Chris, lol.

EDIT: I think I was mistaken. I don't remember spending $50 so I think I bought the 15-pack instead.

Sent you a request, I'm Lashen#1485.

EDIT 2: I don't know why everyone is saying the heroic bosses are so easy. Anub guy is 10x more cheap on heroic than normal, and he's super cheap on normal. I can't seem to keep his minions down when he gets a 4/4 for 2 every turn and randomly pops out that op 7 drop whenever I get any kind of board presence.

EDIT 3: I stand partially corrected. The widow was super easy. :P
