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.

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 .

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).
