cheap deck with 3 legendaries in it? trolls? xD

Dear Matze. The 3 legendaries that you are referring to, are the cards that the boss has in his deck: Alexstrassa, Nozdormu, Onyxia.

 

The decks to counter them are at the bottom of the page, where 2 decks with 0 legendaries (that has to be crafted or opened from packs) are included, along with a heroic mode druid deck for the people who has access to more cards.

 

Troll? :P

I used quite a similar deck. The main damage dealer was the Flamewaker! It's a great addition. And with low attack on it's own, it wasn't a priority for the AI biggrin.png

 

Added some silence as well.

Worked for me. Didn't have one Cabal and the Light bomb but used Holy fire (which gave me the deciding 5 damage!) and Temple Enforcer in stead. Took about 15 tries though :-)

Yeah, the Boss is hard work, numerous tries is to be expected, I will continue the quest for a deck with close to 100% consistency, but it might be tricky. I have won 4/6 times with the Priest deck myself, but it is a challenge that requires more than simply the right deck to beat.

I seriously doubt you won 4/6 with the priest deck without conceding for a decent hand multiple times. The priest deck may win eventually but it's a very low percentage. every game I've gotten Deathlord out he either has that bitch ass 2/3 out and i have no way to deal with it or he keeps dropping minions faster than I can heal it and no inner fire, even with divine spirit.

Follow up to my post. The strategy that works best with this match-up is: Get out KT ASAP with a taunt minion and abuse the AI. Otherwise you need a little luck and a great draw with priest deck.

 

I think a reliable, good, cheap deck might be Druid with innervates, wild growth, dryad, cheap taunters (maybe even target dummy) and KT with a little buffing and healing potential. Throw in BGH and Naturalize to help your staying power and just get KT out + Taunt

Well the "Low-Budget" mage deck is definitely trolling ...if 6 epics and 1 Legendary adding for an over 4k dust deck called "low-budget" is not trolling, i'm not sure what is! laugh.png

 

I wonder how much would a "hi-budget" cost by that author. biggrin.png

Well, let your wondering cease, if you click the other link in the guide, you'll see a full budget guide that costs twice as much! The horror!

I've tired all 3 decks that you suggest & zero success with them all. There has to be a easier way to defeat w/o losing my mind or making me want to through my pc out the window.

Won first try with this deck. Granted I was drawing perfectly, but berserker was so buffed up when I won. He had 15 attask and finished him off quickly.

This is the cheapest deck I beat Heroic Chromaggus with.

Chromaggus will fill your hand with expensive and nasty spells you have to get rid of eventually. Getting a discount on your spells or all of your cards will help a lot.
You can ignore Brood Affliction Green completely until you have stabilised and want to start to deal damage to Chromaggus.
You can keep Brood Affliction Red for a while and sustain the damage in order to stabilize your board. Get rid of it, when you reach 10 HP.
You can keep Brood Affliction Black for a turn, as it is no immediate threat.
You should get rid of Brood Affliction Blue quite soon, as the discount Chromaggus gets on his spells is very strong (Flamestrike for 4 mana, Flameheart for 0!) and a great danger for your minions and your HP.
You need to get rid of Brood Affliction Bronze immediately, because you absolutely need to keep board control and cannot allow Chromaggus to fill his board with dragons.
Chromaggus' minions will almost always ignore yours, if they cannot kill them without dying themselves. With his Chromatic Dragonkin however he tends to be more defensive.

Cheap Naxx Priest (80 Dust)
Difficulty: medium (may take up to 10 tries)
Inspiration:



2x Goldshire Footman
2x Inner Fire
2x Mind Vision
2x Murloc Raider
2x Northshire Cleric
2x Power Word: Shield
2x Zombie Chow
2x Bluegill Warrior
2x Divine Spirit
2x Frostwolf Grunt
2x Murloc Tidehunter
2x Shadow Word: Pain
2x Deathlord
2x Shadow Word: Death
1x Emperor Thaurissan
1x Kel'Thuzad

This deck has lots of 1- and 2-drops, as it tries to control the board early while still being able to get rid of the Affliction cards as soon as possible.
You have several ways to win this fight:
Use Mind Vision to steal Chromatic Dragonkin. Chromaggus will ignore it and his spells with continuously buff it.
Play Emperor Thaurissan on turn 6 and keep him alive to get a discount on the Affliction cards.
Play Deathlord and buff it with Divine Spirit and Inner Fire.
Put Kel'Thuzad next to a taunt.
 

Cheerio,

Bob

This boss is no fun. Just what the hell were blizzard thinking when adding Nozdormu at all, let alone put it in here.

Boss plays Nozdormu, never get another turn, GG. That is not gameplay...

The deck probably works btw. I got a priest too with focus on stuff like lightwarden, holy champion and heals. With Thaurissan for discount. That works too except for the Nozdormu bug.

Guys I tried these decks and couldn't keep the cards out of my hands. Then it hit me. Why not use the cards to play? I used a mana ramp druid with summoning stone and beat him my first try. Just get the summoning stone out and summon minions as you discard the crap he gives you. WIN!

Could you possibly post your deck? This seems like a fun deck and im just very unlucky with the priest deck. Please and thank you!

So, my Chromagus gets out Nozdormu every single time, especially when he feels I ma winning (with my KT out on the board..... even if I manage to kill it somehow, voila.. he plays out another copy of it... I mean seriously..

Otherwise I think the priest would work. I'll keep on trying :-/

Against Heroic Chromaggus, a variation of the featured mage deck worked for me on my 5th attempt.

 

cRCgsIf.png

 

I lacked six cards from the suggested decklist:

1x Unstable Portal

1x Big Game Hunter

1x Alexstrasza

2x Mountain Giant

1x Molten Giant

 

I replaced them with:

1x Ironbeak Owl

2x Flamewaker

1x Spellbreaker

2x Summoning Stone

 

I feel that the silences made a valuable addition as a means to neutralize a couple of the 4x Chromatic Dragonkin. I included the Summoning Stones after reading about the brilliant idea of letting Chromaggus's Brood Affliction spells work for you by summoning minions. Alas, this was proven to be an ineffective strategy, simply due to the fact that they cost too much at 5 mana. During the matches in which I had one in my hand, I never played it because I always had more important things to spend my mana on. The Summoning Stones played no part in winning with this deck.

 

Sorcerer's Apprentice is key! Getting at least one of these out early helps tremendously. For some reason, Chromaggus doesn't consider them a threat. He tends to prefer hitting you in the face.

      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:
      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.
