- The best class cards are arguably Webspinner (Hunter) and Death's Bite (Warrior), which are unlocked in the second and fourth wings, respectively. It will only take you 700g (and four PVE wins) to unlock Webspinner, but it'll cost you 2100g to get Death's Bite. - The second wing also nets you Unstable Ghoul (great for Warrior to combo with Enrage minions, Acolyte of Pain, Armorsmith, Frothing Berserker), Sludge Belcher, and Loatheb, the latter two being almost mandatory in the 5-slot. So, my suggestion would be to save for the second wing as a priority if you plan to play constructed. Depending on what class you favor, you may wish to spring for subsequent wings sooner rather than later. Note: I have paid gold-only for the second and third wings and have enough to unlock the fourth, although I don't want to eat into my Arena fee buffer. | ||

You can play midrange hunter without traps/bow and don't need Mad Scientist, Webspinner or the Haunted Creeper. You can play an aggro version of Zoolock without any Naxx cards (Kleinmuuhg ended the last season on rank 69 legend with that kind of deck. No Naxx cards) You can play the original Zoolock You can play ramp druid as if nothing had changed You can play control Priest as it was before Naxx came out... There is a lot of stuff to play that still works fine. Maybe some things work better now with Naxx cards, and some decks just don't fare well against the current meta-game (aka what classes/types of decks you mostly encounter atm). You can totally hit the high ranks though without any Naxx cards as long as you pick the right strategy and have some luck on your side. | ||

But to answer your question: Can you perform well? Yes, of course. I made an EU account a couple weeks ago when I realized how absurdly easy it is to make a top-tier Hunter deck, and did just that. With a few hundred dust and 700 gold for the second wing of Naxx, you can make legend rank with Hunter. Other classes will be much harder. This is because many of the basic (free) Hunter cards are top-tier, whereas you will generally need several epics/legendaries to make another top-tier deck. | ||

But then again they (+webspinner) are ruining low level constructed for sure | ||

Money just get you cards faster. And when you get them you still win or loose with them :D I'm kinda in the same boat as you as I stopped playing before Naxx after months of getting the basic legends to play with. But for me is more of "the game is not that fun to play" not "I have no Naxx cards than screw it". | ||

That said, of course try in the long run to get at least the cards you actually need to play the deck(s) you want to play, to be able to have optimal lists. | ||

You may not be able to make certain popular decks, but you still win without Naxx cards. Plus the arena will let you play with all Naxx cards, regardless of what wings you have bought. | ||

You just may be missing out on some important cards in the meta, but at the end of the day, unless you've got most of the legendaries and cards, you're going to be missing some important cards anyway. Good thing about Naxx, it's not going away anytime soon. You can always save up your gold later and put it towards Naxxaramas if you feel you need to grab some of the cards from the Naxx set. | ||

I'm very new to the game, really enjoying it and intend to continue playing. I don't mind playing with limited/less cards than everyone else for now, if I am able to eventually unlock them all (without paying real money) From this topic you seem to suggest that I will have a limited amount of time to unlock the naxxramis (sp?) cards? Then I may never be able to unlock them, is this true? Also are there any other cards that may have been released in the past which I am now permanently unable to unlock? Thanks in advance if anyone can help, hopefully I will be posting more in the future as I just started playing couple days ago but got the itch real bad. | ||

There is not a single card that you can't unlock without real money or can't unlock anymore apart from the golden versions of 2 cards but if a card is golden has no impact on the gameplay. It will however take a very very long time to unlock everything without real money. I have been playing for 8 months and I am still missing more than half of the epics and legendaries. You can be faster but then you have to play for several hours per day on average. | ||

Now the process is very long and I find the normal play much more reliable to farm especially concerning naxx. It takes forever to unlock but full naxx is not necessary to play the game and have fun you can have very competitive decks with only the 2 first wings unlocked. Concerning class specific card I think blizzard intentionally put the most interesting at the end wings and the most useless at the begining to force people to buy but I see evil everywhere regarding recent blizzard decisions on their game so I might be biased. | ||
