Rogue (Maexxna)
The rogue Class Challenge sees the player battling Maexxna The subject of this article is part of the Curse of Naxxramas adventure Maexxna Set: Naxxramas Type: Hero Health: 30 (Normal)45 (Heroic) The massive Spider Queen births endless spiderlings to feed on the corpses of in order to obtain Anub`ar Ambusher Anub ar Ambusher Set: Naxxramas Type: Minion Class: Rogue Rarity: Common Cost: 4 Attack: 5 Health: 5 Abilities: Deathrattle, Return to hand Tags: Random Deathrattle: Return a random friendly minion to your hand.Originally he was called 
.
The Anub`ar Ambusher`s return effect sets the tone for the deck, with almost every minion in the deck featuring a Battlecry or Combo effect. This matches the boss Maexxna perfectly, whose hero power returns minions to the player`s hand.
The deck also features several minions whose Battlecries summon additional minions, such as Echoing Ooze, Murloc Tidehunter and Razorfen Hunter, allowing the rogue to keep something on the board even if the original minion is returned to their hand.
Other notable cards include Alexstrasza, and the Loatheb The subject of this article is part of the Curse of Naxxramas adventure Loatheb Set: Naxxramas Type: Hero Health: 75 (Normal)99 (Heroic) Loatheb is a hideous reminder of the Plague’s effect on the creatures of minion, otherwise unavailable to players at the time of this Class Challenge`s release.

.
The deck is composed only of Webspinners. Be that as it may, through the Webspinner`s Deathrattle the player may obtain any collectible Beast in the game. The Challenge deck`s composition is therefore heavily dependent on RNG.
Mage (Heigan the Unclean)
The mage Class Challenge sees the player battling Heigan the Unclean The subject of this article is part of the Curse of Naxxramas adventure Heigan the Unclean Set: Naxxramas Type: Hero Health: 30 (Normal)45 (Heroic) Heigan has rigged the very walls and floors of Naxxramas with in order to obtain Duplicate Duplicate Set: Naxxramas Type: Spell Class: Mage Rarity: Common Cost: 3 Abilities: Copy, Generate, Secret Tags: Death-related, Triggered effect Secret: When a friendly minion dies, put 2 copies of it into your hand.The one time

This deck is a heavy deathrattle and secret deck, which allows for great synergy with Ethereal Arcanist or the Undertaker.

Shaman (Gothik the Harvester)
The shaman Class Challenge sees the player battling Gothik the Harvester The subject of this article is part of the Curse of Naxxramas adventure Gothik the Harvester Set: Naxxramas Type: Hero Health: 30 (Normal)45 (Heroic) With Gothik’s guidance, even the weakest Death Knights can raise the in order to obtain Reincarnate Reincarnate Set: Naxxramas Type: Spell Class: Shaman Rarity: Common Cost: 2 Abilities: Copy, Destroy, Summon Tags: Resurrection effect Destroy a minion, then return it to life with full Health.It s like birth, except you re an adult

Players might employ a variety of tactics to use Gothik`s strengths against him. Rockbiter Weapon and Flametongue Totem enable the Spectral ghosts to suicide against Unstable Ghouls, Abominations, and Spectral Knights. At the same time, Nerubian Eggs, Haunted Creepers, and Cairne Bloodhoof clog your side so that additional Spectrals cannot be added.
Other notable cards include Feugen and Stalagg, otherwise unavailable to players at the time of this Class Challenge`s release.
Warlock (The Four Horsemen)
The warlock Class Challenge sees the player battling The Four Horsemen The subject of this article is part of the Curse of Naxxramas adventure Baron Rivendare Set: Naxxramas Type: Hero Health: 7 (Normal)14 (Heroic) The most powerful Death Knights in Naxxramas are the pinnacle of Kel’Thuzad’s in order to obtain Voidcaller Voidcaller Set: Naxxramas Type: Minion Subtype: Demon Class: Warlock Rarity: Common Cost: 4 Attack: 3 Health: 4 Abilities: Deathrattle, Put into battlefield Tags: Demon-related, Random Deathrattle: Put a random Demon from your hand into the

If this can be accomplished, then the player might also be able to summon a timely Felguard for the opposing team to suicide against. This is the best case scenario, since neither Redemption nor Avenge Avenge Set: Naxxramas Type: Spell Class: Paladin Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Abilities: Secret Tags: Death-related, Random, Triggered effect Secret: When one of your minions dies, give a random friendly minion +3/+2.Several paladins have joined together 
will trigger on the Baron`s turn.
Once the Baron`s remaining health is less than equal to the power of your taunts, his Runeblade is near-useless. He may only resume his attacks when the taunts are cleared, or one of the two Drain Lifes in his deck is drawn.
Also, when all seems lost and you draw Lord Jaraxxus it makes for swift game change.
Warrior (Grobbulus)
The warrior Class Challenge sees the player battling Grobbulus The subject of this article is part of the Curse of Naxxramas adventure Grobbulus Set: Naxxramas Type: Hero Health: 30 (Normal)45 (Heroic) Grobbulus was meant to be the first of an army of flesh giants. in order to obtain Death`s Bite Death s Bite Set: Naxxramas Type: Weapon Class: Warrior Rarity: Common Cost: 4 Attack: 4 Durability: 2 Abilities: Deal damage, Deathrattle Tags: Area of effect Deathrattle: Deal 1 damage to all minions."Take a bite outta Death."

Divine Spirit can be used to create a very large Lightspawn (or a different minion when combined with Inner Fire). Inner Fire alone combines well with Deathlord or Maexxna to give an 8/8 minion.
Paladin (Kel`Thuzad)
The paladin Class Challenge sees the player battling Kel`Thuzad The subject of this article is part of the Curse of Naxxramas adventure Kel Thuzad Set: Naxxramas Type: Hero Health: 30 (Normal)45 (Heroic) data page] For the minion card of the same name, see Kel Thuzad Kel Thuzad in order to obtain Avenge Avenge Set: Naxxramas Type: Spell Class: Paladin Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Abilities: Secret Tags: Death-related, Random, Triggered effect Secret: When one of your minions dies, give a random friendly minion +3/+2.Several paladins have joined together .
The paladin deck presents great opportunity for reproducing buffs, thanks to Echoing Ooze. Blessing of Kings, Sword of Justice, and Blessing of Wisdom are the major buffs, and can be easily reproduced by comboing them with an Ooze. Kel`Thuzad`s two-phase behaviour makes it worth establishing a strong board before removing his last point of Armor. His behaviour is generally very similar to that of his regular encounter (normal mode).
Trivia
The Hunter Class Challenge was created by balance designer Mike Donais.
