Damien

Hearthstone Lord Victor Nefarius / Nefarian

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

since I am not able to build the decks you suggest for Nefarian, I looked for another tip and found this Warroir deck on Hearthpwn working quite well:

http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/235814-heroic-nefarius-consistent

I also lack some cards of that list, so I replaced:

1x Bouncing Blade with 1x Doomsayer,

1x Brawl with 1x Sylvanas (highly recommended!),

1x Gorehowl with a second Arcanite Reaper

and 2x Crush with 2x Inner Rage as an activator for Execute.

The strategy with this deck is not to actively mill Nefarian, but to do it passively: The majority of Warrior's spells influence the board. So, if you do not play any minions, the copied spells will stack in Nefarian’s hand and eventually he will mill himself. You just have to try and deal with the few minions he plays using your large arsenal of removal spells and a few weapons. As his hand grows he will put out less and less minions each turn, while you build up armor and prepare a devastating Brawl. Prepare Nefarian’s Fatigue by hitting his face with your weapons in order to reduce his big armour advantage.

It took 4 tries for me to beat Nefarian with this strategy. :)

 

Good luck!

Bob

Bob21117 has the right idea.  I tried a ton of times with Druid decks and at least ten of those where with the Damien build.

I tried twice with the Warrior deck:http://www.hearthpwn...rius-consistent and it was good to go!  In fact once I figured out the point was to kill everything in sight and shield up.... it was simple.  Got to the end and for the last 8 draws the boss could play nothing.  I was one card behind him so when we went into deck burn mode I wondered how it would work.  Simple math. Even if you are below him a bit (I had 7 life and 35 shield and he had like 30 life and 15 shield or something close) don't worry because you can add 2 shield each time which he cannot.  Math is like BOOM BOSS MAN! smile.png

This is the cheapest deck I beat Heroic Lord Victor Nefarius with.

Nefarius has a huge mana advantage and can constantly pressure you and your board with spells he copies from your class.
Still, his Hero Power can be abused: Nefarius will keep damage spells in his hand and only use them to remove minions or if he has lethal. So, if you never have minions on the board, the cards will stack and Nefarius will eventually overdraw and burn his entire deck.
You have to deal with the minions and the few spells Nefarius will play nevertheless and keep yourself alive. This way you have a chance even with a basic deck.

F2P Warrior (0 Dust)
Difficulty: easy (may take up to 5 tries)
Inspiration: http://www.hearthhead.com/deck=106434/0-cost-hr-nefarius-destroyer

2x Execute
2x Whirlwind
2x Bluegill Warrior
2x Cleave
2x Fiery Waraxe
2x Heroic Strike
2x Revenge
2x Charge
2x Magma Rager
2x Shield Block
2x Wolfrider
2x Kor'kron Elite
2x Stormwind Knight
2x Arcanite Reaper
2x Reckless Rocketeer

To minimize the usable spells Nefarius can steal you should stick to the following rules:
- Try to never have a (damaged) minion on your side of the board by suiciding your chargers to avoid Execute and Mortal Strike.
- If you have to let a minion of yours live, never play a second one to avoid Cleave, Whirlwind, Revenge, Brawl and Bouncing Blade.
- Try not to leave Nefarius' injured minions on the board to avoid Rampage and Battle Rage.
Always combine Magma Rager with Charge to run it into Drakonid Crusher or Twilight Drake.
 

Cheerio,

Bob

Just to say, the original thread deck is working well ( https://www.icy-veins.com/hearthstone/basic-lord-victor-nefarius-nefarian-mage-deck-normal-mode) with only common cards. After a lot of tries with different decks this one worked on the first try, i just swiped the bloodfen Raptors and the River Crocolisks with similar cost/ratio cards having an ability (amani berserk and sorcerer apprentice). Amani worked quite well but wasn't necessary to win this, the apprentices were OS on cast (taking out some of nefarian's spells).

I tried the basic mage deck, simply because I'm not lucky enough with opening packs, and don't want to sink money in the game, anwyay, no luck, not even close to defeating Nefarian. 

 

Which doesn't surprise me. A mage has such powerfull spells, not just for clearing the board, but also for killing you. I really find it strange that someone who knows how to build decks would choose mage against a foe that gets unlimited spells from that same class. But then again, I'm a noob when it comes to deckbuiling. However, I chose to build a paladin deck against Nefarian with anything I had, based on exchanging his expensive minions cheaply and building a resonably strong board:

 

2x Avenge

2x Blessing of might

1X Blessing of wisdom

1X Eye for an eye

2X Hand of protection

2X Humility

1X Redemption

2X Holy Light

1X Seal of light

1X Echoing Ooze

1X Frostwolf grunt

2X Shielded minibot

1X Sword of Justice

1X Ironfur Grizzly

1X Mind control tech

2X Truesilver champion

2X Blessing of kings

2X Hammer of wrath

1X Chillwind yeti

1X Quartermaster

1X Guardian of kings

 

I defeated him in the first go, with lots of health left. I have no idea how it worked, but it did.

apparently he got astral communion from hero power when he had full hand, in his opinion it was the best play T_T

Warrior vs Heroic Nefarian- won on 2nd attempt...

 

PFSEUBa.png

 

...but it took me 27 total attempts, using 7 other decks, 5 other classes. I've done all of Heroic Naxx and all BRM heroic bosses leading up to Nefarian, and I do believe he has proven most difficult for me. After 15 failed attempts with my own decks, I gave the featured paladin and druid decks a try. After five attempts with each of them, I turned to the alternative warrior strategy mentioned by Bob on this forum. This playstyle was new to me (even just warrior as a class is my least played of all), so I sort of fumbled my way through it, but IT WORKS! You guys should add a warrior decklist to the site for those struggling with the druid and paladin. ;)

I've been trying to beat him with the paladin deck but I get destroyed every time.

it says his minions are the biggest threat but I find them to be easily taken out. The real problem is that the boss himself does up to 8 damage each turn and this deck has no way to mitigate any of it.

i know this fight is old, so I don't know if they changed the mechanics but I don't know if this deck is still viable

11 damage from the boss in turn 2. I don't know how anybody can deal with that

A good idea would be to replace the Yeti x2 with Hungry Dragon x2.

You earned Hungry Dragon from earlier in Blackrock Campaign, and it is a powerful card that works well with the control aspects of this deck. Having him have a random 1 cost card is not helpful to Nefarius.

I think the deck is intended to allow anyone to complete the fight, so they might not be completing the full run in the same order. I believe, if you buy it as 1 set, you can start wherever you wish. Correct me if I'm wrong!

      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.

      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:

      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.
