According to an update on the official blog, Naxxramas will update with one wing at a time for five weeks. The Arachnid Quarter will come first, followed by Plague Quarter, Military Quarter, Construct Quarter, and Frostwyrm Lair. If you access Naxxramas during the launch event--roughly a month--you'll get Arachnid Quarter for free. It houses three bosses (Anub’Rekhan, Grand Widow Faerlina, and Maexxna), each of whom will add cards to your collection after beating them.
The other four wings can be purchased for 700 gold or $6.99 apiece. You can also purchase them in bundles set at different prices depending on how many wings you already own. If you want to purchase them all at once, it will be $24.99, but if you took advantage of the launch freebie and only need to buy the four remaining wings, it will be $19.99. Blizzard notes that purchasing the wings doesn't grant you early access, so you'll still be getting the wings as they release on a weekly schedule.
Naxxramas will also include a "Heroic Mode" of each wing, with more difficult bosses. Defeating all of the Naxxramas bosses on Heroic Mode will unlock a new card back, perfect for bragging rights.

The other really brilliant part of making it so god damned reasonable to just buy it outright is the fact that so many people, myself included, have never paid a dime into the game -- but once we do spend a few bucks on the game, it'll be so much easier to keep doing it. I don't even have a credit card associated with my blizzard account, which makes it very easy at the moment to resist the urge to impulse buy an arena key.

Does that really bother anyone? What bothers me is that the product improves very little year after year and that with all the time they've had it is still sadly inferior to Hearthstone by a wide margin.
I like Magic and I want it to succeed, but the market has been ripe for a good Magic game for a long time. I don't understand how Wizards sat around picking their nose long enough for Blizzard to walk right up and eat their god damned lunch.
Why have they never taken Magic: Online and remade it look like Duels of the Planeswalkers?
