Heroic Anub is down after 5 or 6 attempts with my tempo-ish pally deck.

Relied on getting early peacekeepers, truesilvers and equality pyro combos to see off his fucking 4/4 bullshit summons and keep the board clear until Tirion, Ysera, Rag, Stormwind Champs, Sunwalkers and the faceless manipulators arrive to put the stupid shitfanny in a hurt locker.

Could have taken 50 games, beating this boss on Heroic is just a matter of playing until you get a really good draw.

My mix of magic power and combo Pally for Anub, Tempo Rogue for Faeralina and a speedy hunter deck with heals for Maex did the trick. Wasn't trying for the 1/1 board jam but it turned out that way anyway. Actually ended up milling her for about 5 turns as I replennned 5 for every 7, did hero power every turn. Got her down to 20 and Unleash plus Leeroy took her down to unrecoverable. Look forward to the next few wings, got enough dust for gold Loatheb, in to all ze decks you go...

Abom is if you fancy clearing Zoo and giving yourself a 4/4 certainly!

Or two.

My budget Zoo deck has its first 2 weeks outside of Naxxramas. Good fun, but does feel a bit like a cheap win.

Sweet Handlock egg deck:

I can't beat the first guy in Naxxramas. Send help.

I think you meant Priest zoo, those are all priest buffs. That said, pally zoo is also a really good zoo deck, sword of justice, divine shields and aldor peacekeepers really make your guys hard to remove.

Swirl, the first boss seems to be a matter of playing until you get a decent card draw, as he doesn't always go for his hero power. Paladin decks have decent tools to get around his 4/4s in the early game, equality, truesilver champion and aldor peacekeeper all work well.

Woops! Yes, sorry, Priest. 
I get confused because I'm still pretty n00b at this game. 
Naxx got me into it a bit more than I had been, as I was getting pounded in casual MP and the arena (and hadn't even touched Ranked) so had kinda given up on it.
However, tackling naxx encouraged me to do a bit of deck research on hearthpwn and elsewhere to construct a cheap warlock zoo deck, whcih I then changed to go murlocs just because I find them so amusing! 
Then I started a bit of ranked play and found it a lot more balanced than casual TBH - came up against one gold warrior (who must have won 500 matches as warrior to get the gold char, so I knew I was in trouble) but on the whole it's pretty good at levelling you to where you can get a good matchup instead of casual, where I'd either go up against people who didn't seem to know what their cards do or someone who kicks my arse with a bunch of legendaries.

I need to get back into this. I don't even know what a zoo deck is. I may try the Druid guy.

Yeah - I was a bit stumped by all the jargon that very quickly arose around this - mulligan? zoolock? handlock?

Ended up just having to google it all - and have a gander around the highly-ranked decks here: http://www.hearthpwn.com/

(FWIW - mulligan is the switching out of your initial cards before the first round, Zoo is when you design a deck intended to play lots of very cheap minions to rush and swamp the other player before they get a chance to get to their big cards, zoolock is a Warlock zoo deck, handlock is a Warlock deck designed to get a large number of cards in your hand, or minions onto the board, in order to play the big Giant cards that become cheaper to play according to how many cards are in your hand or on the board).

Anyone know what the best glossary is? 
Found these:  http://www.icy-veins.com/hearthstone/glossary-of-terms
http://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/1b3s3e/general_ccgtcg_terminology/

but neither of them actually include the term "zoo"

I'm going to assume that the best way to get cards is still arena?

Swirl,  I beat the first Naxx boss with a regular Warlock Zoo deck.

Ah, excellent.

One question. What's a Warlock Zoo deck?

Midnight for Plague Quarter tonight. But hey said that last week and it opened around 9pm, so it should be similar this week.

Plague quarter open and defeated on normal. Will attempt class challenges tomorrow.
You guys are going to LOVE the Loatheb fight.

Hunter challenge was fun. Failed the Mage challenge though. Will try again later.

So I noticed that on the hearthsone wiki for Naxxramas they are listing all the cards now.

Holy shit at the Feugen and Stalagg combo.

Kel'Thuzad himself though, takes the prize for most hilarious card power ever. At the end of your turn, summon all friendly minions that died that turn. Immediately off the top of my head that sounds like using this card with Tirion Fordring, Hogger, or some of the other bigger taunt minions is going to be a nightmare. Ironbark Defender would be brutal.

However my second thought was that this is just going to make Handlock unbearable to play against now. It was nice to be happy for a few seconds anyway.
