Curse of Naxxramas - the Construct Quarter

So Curse of Naxxramas opened fourth quarter which is also the last one before final part in which we get to face Naxxramas master Kel'Thuzad himself.


Fortunately after completing some quests I had enough game gold for this chapter as well so I've managed to open all chapters money-free (could have 28 packs for that though ...)!

To my delight the chapter bosses on normal difficulty are a bit tougher then in previous parts, which is good as some of them were just too easy. But still I was able to beat them all in 1 or 2 fights.

What wasn't easy was the warrior challenge which was insanely difficult as it was dependant on good luck of your initial draw (and bad luck of enemy's draw). I had to replay the challenge 11 times (yes eleven) and judging by the reaction on the forums I was not the only one who had problems like this. So minus points for you Blizzard for this challenge (and I am not saying increased difficulty is bad, quite contrary, but this challenge didn't have much to do with skill but was very luck dependant).
The second challenge - priest challenge was quite easy as all the previous ones - I was able to beat it on my first try. 



This quarter was also the first one which had 4 bosses to fight instead of usual 3. Here they are:
1. Patchwerk - hero power: Hateful Strike [4 mana] Destroy a minion.
2. Grobbulus - hero power: Poison cloud [2 mana] - Deal 1 damage to all minions. If any die, summon a slime.
3. Gluth - hero power: Decimate [2 mana] - Change the health of all minions to 1.
4. Thaddius - hero power: Polarity Shift [0 mana] Swap the attack and health of all minions.

And here are the versions on heroic difficulty. Patchwerk and Thadius are suprisingly the same (I haven't fought them yet on heroic):
1. Patchwerk - hero power: Hateful Strike [4 mana] Destroy a minion.
2. Grobbulus - hero power: Poison cloud [0 mana] - Deal 2 damage to all enemies. If any die, summon a slime.
3. Gluth - hero power: Decimate [0 mana] - Change the health of enemy minions to 1.
4. Thaddius - hero power: Polarity Shift [0 mana] Swap the attack and health of all minions.
