Hearthstone Baron Geddon

Recommended Posts

I managed to beat Geddon with the following Mage deck three times:

    1x Clockwork Gnome
    2x Mana Wyrm
    2x Zombie Chow
    2x Frostbolt
    2x Ironbeak Owl
    2x Youthful Brewmaster
    2x Arcane Intellect
    2x Duplicate
    2x Ice Barrier
    1x Ice Block
    1x Illuminator
    1x Echo of Medivh
    2x Ethereal Arcanist
    2x Azure Drake
    1x Faceless Manipulator
    2x Sludge Belcher
    1x Sunwalker
    1x Sylvanas Windrunner
    1x Kel'Thuzad

Win conditions are:
1. Iceblock + Illuminator/Ethereal Arcanist (+ Faceless Manipulator)
2. Kel'Thuzad+Sludge Belcher/Sunwalker (+ Faceless Manipulator)

Please be aware, that I deliberately avoided synergies like Mad Scientist, Kirin Tor Mage and Sorcerer's Apprentice to keep the mana drain high.
I used Arcane Intellect, Duplicate, Echo of Medivh and Azure Drake to refill my hand and I copied Kel'Thuzad and Ethereal Arcanist with Faceless Manipulator.
Some games I had to restart, but in the end this deck is almost consistent, if you get a 1-drop in your opening hand. ;)

 

Yours,

Bob

Took a while to win, but the posted deck pulled it off, it was close.

This is the cheapest deck I beat Heroic Baron Geddon with.

To beat Geddon's Hero Power you need a lot of options in your hand. That is why Warlock is optimal for this fight: Use your Hero Power as often as possible to always be able to use all your mana.

F2P Warlock (0 Dust)
Difficulty: medium (may take up to 10 tries)
Inspiration:


Similar, yet more expensive deck: https://www.icy-veins.com/hearthstone/cheap-baron-geddon-warlock-deck-heroic-mode

2x Sacrificial Pact
2x Mortal Coil
2x Elven Archer
2x Voidwalker
2x Voodoo Doctor
2x Murloc Tidehunter
2x Drain Life
2x Imp Gang Boss
2x Razorfen Hunter
2x Shadow Bolt
2x Dragonling Mechanic
2x Darkscale Healer
2x Frostwolf Warlord
2x Dread Infernal
2x Stormwind Champion

This deck requires a strange playstyle: You will want to have minions on your board with very low health, preferably 1-2 HP. This allows you to kamikaze your minions affected by Living Bomb into Geddon's minions or to kill them off using your various means of self-harm: Sacrificial Pact, Mortal Coil, Elven Archer, Drain Life or Dread Infernal.
Use your high-health minions to take out Geddon's minions. Keep Drain Life, Mortal Coil and Sacrificial Pact in your hand as long as possible to be able to use them against your own minions.
Run your Imp Gang Boss into Flame Imp and Flamewaker to produce Imps.
When playing Darkscale Healer, try not to heal your minions out of kill range.
Use Dread Infernal's battlecry against Geddon's Imps and Magma Ragers. Put it out before Frostwolf Warlord and Stormwind Champion to lure out Living Bomb and to make use of your Sacrificial Pact.
Keep in mind that Geddon has 2 Hellfires in his deck. So never put too many minions out to keep your natural card advantage.
Geddon has 2 Molten Giants in his deck. So try to keep his health above 21-24 health (he also has Flame Imps) and kill him in one big swing to be safe from the Giants.
 

Cheerio,

Bob

I defeated Heroic Baron on my first attempt, using my midrange hero power mage deck!

 

oVJkppp.png

 

1x Mana Wyrm

2x Frostbolt

1x Unstable Portal

2x Fallen Hero

1x Garrison Commander

2x Arcane Intellect

2x Frost Nova

1x Ice Barrier

2x Polymorph: Boar

1x Fencing Coach

1x Saboteur

1x Echo of Medivh

2x Fireball

1x Maiden of the Lake

2x Water Elemental

1x Antique Healbot

1x Nexus-Champion Saraad

2x Sludge Belcher

1x Coldarra Drake

1x Emperor Thaurissan

1x Flamestrike

1x Frost Giant

 

I did not adjust my deck beforehand, so some of these cards should be replaced with other more useful ones. Saboteur does not work against Baron. I'd replace it with another Maiden of the Lake. The way I survived Baron's hero power was by getting out my Coldarra Drake and just using up all extra mana with my hero power. Having Maiden of the Lake makes this an even more effective method of survival, with the hero power costing only one mana. I had to run my Maiden into one of his minions when he turned her into a bomb. It took a little extra care after that to finish the fight. That's why I'd add another Maiden to this, in case you don't draw one or one dies. I even had to fireball my own water elemental once he was turned into a bomb, to prevent him from decimating my board...and me. Frost Giant was an easy 0-mana cast by the time I got him, from the multiple hero power uses each turn. Nexus-Champion Saraad and Emperor Thaurissan did not come into play, so they are not necessary for this deck's success.

 

EDIT: I almost forgot to mention that Polymorph: Boar is an excellent card for this fight. Towards the end, Frost Giant was turned into a bomb. I attacked with him for 8, then morphed him into the boar. I was able to attack again for 4 more and also avoid the devastating effect of the living bomb.

His heroic hero power isn't on auto-cast. This has resulted in him occasionally missing 10 face damage.

A Mage inspire deck I threw together worked in one go! Been trying other decks that have been suggested to no avail.

I exploited Animated Armor, Tournament Medic, Coliseum Manager, Fallen Hero, Echo of Medivh and Frost Giant. Using and protecting Animated Armor means you no longer have to worry about using your mana properly. With the addition of Tournament Medic I was actually healing myself up late game. 

Just build your deck around those cards giving yourself at least 5 each of 1-4 cost cards then finish with whatever power cards look good. I threw these together due to card restrictions.

Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, Ice Lance, Lowly Squire, Mana Wyrm, Annoy-o-tron, Bilefin Tidehunter, Boneguard Lieutenant, Fallen Hero (2), Unstable Portal, Arcane Intellect, Dragonhawk Rider, Frost Nova, Polymorph: Boar, Silver Hand Regent, Spellslinger, Twilight Flamecaller, Animated Armor (2), Malarian Aspirant, Echo of Medivh, Maiden of the Lake, Tournament Medic, Ethereal Conjurer, Kvaldir Raider, Mukla's Champion, Firelands Portal, Flamestrike, Frost Giant.

Have fun!

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      AAECAaoICunQBMORBKeNBK/ZBNnsA/rsA4qSBfuRBYfUBKrZBArG+QOs7QS12QTgtQS22QTblATGzgTj9gOGoQX4oAUA
      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.
      Deck code / link: 
      AAECAaoIFKjuA6bvA4b6A6SBBMORBMeyBOm2BOnQBJjUBLjZBJfvBKTvBNWyBODtBIqSBdWyBPuRBfSgBbzwBODtBArG+QPTgASVkgTblATgtQSWtwSywQTFzgS12QS22QQA
      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:
      Deck code / link: 
      AECAaoICunQBMORBKeNBK/ZBNnsA/rsA4qSBfuRBYfUBKrZBArG+QOs7QS12QTgtQS22QTblATGzgTj9gOGoQX4oAUA
      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
