I used a Mill Brann-Reno rogue deck to beat Heroic Magic Mirror. It took only one attempt, however, I had attempted it several times previously with other classes. (Out of the others, only came close with mage)

Reno did not play his traditional role. I played Deathlord on Turn 3, then attacked the 1/1 copy with my hero. It brought Reno into play. Would have come in handy as a heal later, but having the 4/6 body on the board by Turn 3 wasn't bad.

Brann played his part well. On Turn 9, I played him along with Coldlight Oracle, which drew me Edwin VanCleef and Fan of Knives. I played Preparation for a free Fan of Knives to clear the board of 1/1s. Then, I used Shadowstep on Coldlight Oracle. This resulted in a 12/12 Edwin VanCleef, which proved to be my lethal weapon, as shown in the screenshot above. On Turn 10, a doubled battlecry from Antique Healbot saved my butt!

I played Gang Up on Archmage Antonidas on Turn 8, but that was pointless. As you can see, I drew a couple of them, but got no use out of him before the end of the match.

As for the enemy Antonidas, I took him out with Sabotage. I just had to get rid of a couple 1/1s first so that the "random enemy minion" would not be so random... ;) An Assassinate would have worked better, but I did not bother swapping out any cards for this boss fight. I just used the deck the way I already had it.

So yeah, mill worked pretty well. It's so satisfying to see a Swipe go up in smoke when the opponent's hand is too full!

Consider the following additions to  any deck  you create to purge the board in (insert gruesome thing here) and defeat the Mirror on Heroic: Tentacle of N'ZothExplosive SheepUnstable Ghoul and Abomination.

 

Explosive Sheep is just impressive if you can ping the copy he creates immediately.

Here's the Mage decklist I threw together, only took 1 attempt:

Made a strange C'thun Mage deck, although C'thun is not at all the win condition (game took ~5-7 turns so C'thun was more like a backup, as it turns out.)

Cards highlighted in cyan represent the cards I actually played, without regard to whether I played 1 or both copies (I played less than 1/3 of the deck.) That being said, the remainder of the deck is mostly filler with mediocre synergy and very little thought put into it.

Strategy:

Go straight to Face unless it's VERY advantageous to clear a certain minion (majority of the computer's cards are +x Spell Damage, just ignore them tbh)

Utilize synergy between:  Sorcerer's Apprentice + [Dmg spells] + Mana Wyrm + Ogre Magi/Azure Drake

^The minions alone will chunk their 30 hp to 0 in 5-7 turns if your rng(draw) is decent, esp. since the passive enemy hero power gives you an extra of everything you summon.

  • Use Twilight Flamecaller/Blizzard to clear board if you deem it necessary or have no other good option.
  • Animated Armor will pretty much keep you from dying until they clear it, but don't prioritize this, you really shouldn't need to take the defensive; aggro/SMorc mode all day is the key!
  • The only cards that are really essential here are the ones in red, above. Any other card can be replaced with little consequence. Mage/Drake can be replaced with any +Spell Damage cards.

2x Mana Wyrm

2x Mirror Image

2x Arcane Explosion

2x Cult Sorcerer

2x Knife Juggler

2x Sorcerer's Apprentice

1x Twilight Geomancer

2x Forgotten Torch

2x Frost Nova (probably replacing this w/ anything would be an improvement...didn't even draw one anyway, though.)

2x Twilight Elder

2x Twilight Flamecaller

2x Animated Armor

1x Demented Frostcaller

2x Fireball

1x Ogre Magi

1x Azure Drake

1x Blizzard

1x C'thun

Thanks for sharing that! Hopefully it can help someone if they are struggling with our deck.

Is there any sub for Majordomo Executus? I disenchanted mine since i'd never use it in standard and I don't have Alexstraza either

That deck is bull crap it doesn't work. Each time i put a minion in play, the Magic Miror destroy them before i can even do anything. After 5 turns i'm dead. So no stars for that pro.

Just tested it and it looks like it is broken. Try sending a bug report to Blizzard.

      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.

      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.
