On Heroic, this was really hard.

In the end, doomsayers + annoy-o-trons came through :-)

I defeated this on heroic mode rather easily with a Holy Paladin deck with the following cards:

  • 2 Humility
  • 2 Noble Sacrifice
  • 2 Redemption (Do not play while boulder is present, could trade one for Enter the Coliseum if you have the card)
  • 2 Equality
  • 2 Holy Light
  • 2 Seal of Light
  • 2 Coghammer (could trade 1 for a Mind Control Tech or Master Jouster)
  • 2 Aldor Peacekeeper
  • 2 Big Game Hunter
  • 1 Mind Control Tech
  • 2 Consecration
  • 2 Antique Healbot
  • 2 Tuskarr Jouster
  • 1 Master Jouster
  • 1 Lay on Hands
  • 1 Tirion Fordring (Eadric the Pure is a better option if you have him especially towards the end.)

I used a majority of the deck but made a few changes that I found helpful in beating this on heroic:

 

Ice Lance x 2

Mirror Image x 2

Frostbolt x 2

Mad Scientist x 2

Novice Engineer x 2

Arcane Intellect x 2

Frost Nova x 2

Ice Barrier x 2

Vaporize x 1

Acolyte of Pain x 2

Flamewaker x 1

Cone of Cold x 2

Fireball x 2

Polymorph x 2

Flame Lance x 2

Blizzard x 1 (I only have 1 copy)

 

I do not own Ice Block.

 

I made the mistake of making my 30th card Mirror Entity. Oops! I haven't tried these options, but I would consider Sorcerer's Apprentice x 1, Unstable Portal x 1, or Snowchugger x 1 as well! The Flamewaker was surprisingly efficient with the use of the freezing spells. Still based heavily on RNG, but effective! Thanks for the initial guide! smile.png

To make it significantly less expensive, I replaced the Blizzard and Ice Block with Annoy-O-Tron and Deathlord and won three in a row. It's pretty easy once you know what's coming and the strategy is more or less the same. I was able to beat it without a single Frost Nova even.

I used a cheaper version of the Tech Druid deck. Relatively easy, and finished out with 15 health on heroic. I used a combination strategy of large board "removal" with Poison Seeds and using distracting Taunts to keep my hero from getting damaged. 

 

Key to my success was using Poison Seeds just before the cave collapse, and keeping it for my last turn, when the enemy has stacked decks full of opponents. 

 

I never once used any of the minions for healing my hero, just how my card draws worked out. I did use Mark of Nature to buff my taunt minions after playing Poison Seeds, to prevent the enemy board from getting to my hero. 

 

I've used this deck successfully three times now. If you don't get a perfect first two turns, just concede and start again. 

 

Naturalize x2

Shieldbearer x1

Wrath x2

Annoy-o-Tron x2

Frostwolf Grunt x2

Healing Touch x2

Mark of Nature x2

Coldlight Oracle x2

Deathlord x2

Poison Seeds x2

Tournament Medic x2

Antique Healbot x2

Sludge Belcher x2

Master Jouster x2

Priestess of Elune x2

Sunwalker x2

Using animated armour with this freeze mage deck is rather easy on heroic see as the computer never attacks your minions unless they have taunt. Thus you only take one damage from each minion.

Hope this was helpful!

I'm still in normal mode and just beat Sun Raider Phaerix after nine tries. I'm getting ready to do the Temple Escape on normal, any advice?

I did it first try. I did NOT have Ice block, instead i added Ethereal Conjurer and hoped for luck since there will be a chance to play it when relying on cheap spells only. i only had one Blizzard and one Acolyte of Pain, i substituted them with 2x Animated Armor which i didnt get to use because by the time it came i was at 1 health and stayed 1 health for the last 3 turns. Still beat him with the cheap AoEs. Did not get to use polymorph, frostbolt ot flame lance. Good game! :))

I defeated Heroic Temple Escape with this F2P deck.

Temple Escape cannot possibly be won by dealing with each and every enemy minion, simply because they are much too powerful early on.
Instead just focus on preserving your health by playing taunts and disabling the enemy minions.

F2P Mage (0 Dust)
Inspiration 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWB7X_lNygA&feature=youtu.be
Inspiration 2: http://www.hearthhead.com/deck=137525/loe-nocost-solver-heroic-temple

2x Goldshire Footman
2x Mirror Image
2x Frostbolt
2x Frostwolf Grunt
2x Jeweled Scarab
2x Forgotten Torch
2x Frost Nova
2x Ironfur Grizzly
2x Silverback Patriarch
2x Fireball
2x Polymorph
2x Sen'jin Shieldmasta
2x Animated Armor
2x Booty Bay Bodyguard
2x Lord of the Arena

Mulligan for Goldshire Footman, Mirror Image, Frostwolf Grunt, Frost Nova and Animated Armor.
Turn 1: Goldshire Footman or Mirror Image.
Turn 2: Choose card draw. Taunt or Frostbolt.
Turn 3: Swing Across. Restart if you failed and hold no Animated Armor. Play removal, but no taunt because of the incoming Rolling Boulder.
Turn 4: Removal, taunt, Animated Armor (right of Rolling Boulder).
Turn 5: Choose card draw. Animated Armor or Frost Nova.
Turn 6: Animated Armor, Taunt.
Turn 7: Animated Armor, Taunt.
Turn 8: Take the Shortcut. Animated Armor, Taunt.
Turn 9: Animated Armor or Frost Nova.
You can use Jeweled Scarab to Discover more taunts, Frost Nova or Ice Barrier and Ice Block.
Difficulty: If you have at least two of four cards in time (2x Animated Armor, 2x Frost Nova), this match will be very easy.

Deck changes for Normal Mode: 2x Water Elemental instead of 2x Animated Armor.

I got it just now. A few cards I recommend using:

 

Vaporize can help you get rid of the first ogre if you pick the mana crystal.

On turn 3 play a Doomsayer. This destroys the entire board including his divine shielded minions that just spawned on the board.

Animated Armor saved my life as the minions were focussed on attacking the hero instead of minions (too agressive?).

And you need a Frost Nova on the last turn - then it's a win!

 

Good luck to anyone trying this boss!

I've read a lot about Mage being used to beat the Temple Escape on Heroic, but I decided to give it a go with Shaman. I built a pretty simple deck that won on its 3rd attempt.

 

y1PMsKj.png

 

1x Ancestral Healing

2x Earth Shock

2x Frost Shock

2x Goldshire Footman

2x Shieldbearer

2x Ancestral Spirit

2x Reincarnate

2x Annoy-o-Tron

1x Frostwolf Grunt

1x Feral Spirit

2x Healing Wave

2x Hex

2x Deathlord

2x Mind Control Tech

1x Saboteur

2x Sludge Belcher

2x Master Jouster

 

I'd mulligan for a 1-cost taunt and an Annoy-o-Tron, for sure. I would have liked to get Saboteur as well, but he never came out soon enough to be of value. The Earth Shocks were in there for Obsidian Destroyers and Seething Statue, however, in my victory, I chose to skip Turn 8, so I did not encounter Seething Statue. Both Frost Shocks came in handy for preventing a lot of damage. I used one on an Orsis Guard and the other on Animated Statue on the turn before the board clear. Ancestral Spirit on a Deathlord enabled him to block three attacks. Reincarnate did not come into play in the win, but in a previous attempt, it was useful in sparing my partially used Annoy-o-Tron from the boulder by re-summoning him with a fresh divine shield to the right of the boulder. The Ancestral Healing was for use on the boulder, but I never drew it in any of my attempts, and I don't think I should have bothered including it in the first place. I also never saw a Sludge Belcher or Master Jouster.

      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.
