The first expansion/event for Hearthstone is out! It is great fun, and in normal mode and class challenge rewarding and challenging.
The heroic mode is absolutely unspeakable. Has anyone beaten it and have some tips?

It actually looks pretty exciting but as quite a bad player I'm not expecting to finish the while thing (gold :(, for what it's worth when I first typed gold, I spelt gilf)
The first wing's free- then you need 700 gold per wing. although the wings drop cards like nobody's business, they provide no gold.

Have beaten the wing on normal, first boss on herioc and both class challenges, but finding the second spider woman boss tough on heroic, she keeps just getting a perfect counter card to my decks (Control druid, control warrior, control paladin) I tried rushing her but it dives off due to her extra 15hp which allows some soaking and build up to then crush the small minions.
my Bnet name is duce in case anyone wants games etc.
I believe the naxx cards are only from beating the bosses and the golden crafting ones become available form beating heroic.

That's a shame about the Naxx cards... I'll search you out though duce. My Bnet name is sarpedon.

From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
You can do ok without The big cards, I have a budget deck for paladin using only the basic cards.
My recommendation for you is get all classes to lvl 10, mainly for all the basic cards, and to get some gold. then build a good basic deck from those (Happy to help if want/need at all) and grind some gold online.

Well, I made it through the first two heroics. Murloc rushed the Grand Widow, and used a druid buff deck inspired by the class challenge deck for Anubrekhan. I am still baffled by Maexxina. The balance between rushing your head off while still engaging in some form of defensive action is very, very tricky.

If you beat all of the bosses on heroic you unlock a new card back, so it's a bragging rights thing more than any gameplay difference.
I managed to beat the bosses on normal last night using my normal Mage spell power gimmick deck, my normal hunter deck and the spell power deck again for each boss I tried doing heroic using a specially built deck, but I don't own the cards I need to make it work, sadly, so winning on heroic will probably have to wait a while
Breezed through the entire thing until I got up to Heroic Maexana. Return two minions to your hand for 0 mana and starts with two spiders on the field!
*table flip*
I think I'm on the right track with what deck I need to run but still, feth this.
Also despite Raiding Naxx back in WoW Vanilla/WotLK, I've always pronounced it Maxenna and only just realised my error when the announcer said her name.

It's a difficult one, but stalling/healing battlecry seems like a good way (the video is set to start when he picks the right cards, nearly 1/2 an hour into the video, so you don't have to watch the whole thing):

You don't need any special cards really. I beat the two first bosses in heroic using a Druid "big guys" deck with lots of Taunt and I beat Maexana with a Mage battlecry / ice deck where the only expensive card that I used was a Pyroblast.
The trick to beating Maexana is in not killing her minions, pop the little 1/2 spiders until her board is filled up with 1/1 critters, then all you have to do is survive the 7 damage a turn that she puts out and beat her down with burn and charge minions. Easy peasy!

you only get the new back if beat ALL the bosses, not just one wing's worth sadly.
For Maxanae I used paladin and ran with healing allies until I got back to safer hp levels then began throwing down 1 heal ally and 1 dmging one, blessings helped boost the dmg so it was done before ran out of cards.
