"The LIch King does not have any way to do more damage than the damage you can see."

Not true, as he can buff his minions.

I did Shaman !First Try! pretty easy with that Murloc Deck, i didnt even used 'Ice Fishing' or 'Devolve'.

I just started with the Quest, Murloc Tidecaller, Sir Finley and played Quest Turn1 the other 2 Turn 2 got the Druid Hero Power and could use it for Doomhammer!

But i think i also got little lucky cause i could play 2times Call in the Finishers and could play Gentle Megasaur on the Frostmourne Turn to trade, while he traded one time into Megafin :D

I don't think Jade Druid works after the Innervate change

Jade druid is in tier 1 in Tempo Storm's tier list, and in tier 2 of Vicious Syndicate's power ranking, so I am pretty sure the deck works, just not as good as it used it.

I did Paladin first try with this deck.

My initial idea was to use the Kel'Thuzad glitch and buff up Kaleidosaur to end the game.

Turns out, I didn't need Kel'Thuzad and I finished by round seven by getting Kaleidosaur out on turn 5. I was pretty lucky getting Primalfin in my opening hand and top decking all my 1-mana spells.

Give this a shot, if you're having trouble.

I am having an impossible time beating the Lich King with the Druid. I have been using this deck here: https://www.icy-veins.com/hearthstone/the-lich-king-cheap-miracle-jade-druid-deck but I am having trouble surviving after Frostmourne comes out on turn 7. By that time, I am usually down to >12 health and can't survive once his minions keep attacking, because none of mine have taunt to draw their attacks. Getting my Jade Golem's out is not an issue, getting to the point where I can deal damage to the Lich King is.

 

Can anyone offer any tips or advice? I'd really like to keep using this deck, and crafting new cards is not really an option for me since I do not have a wealth of dust.

I just used the deck and beat the LK on first try.

Unfortunatly Hearthstone Decktracker doesn't record SinglePlayer games.

I had Jade Blossom in my opening hand. You should start with this or Wild Growth to get more mana ASAP.

Let's hope I can recall the game a little:

Turn 1: I did nothing

Turn 2: Heropower

Turn 3: Jade Blossom

Turn 4: second Jade Blossom

 

Turn 5: I used Gadgetzan Auctioneer and used my first Jade Idol (which I used to get +3 more Jade Idols in my deck) - because I had Innervate and hoped to draw more Jade Idol with this. I was lucky.

I had 7 mana on this turn and used it as followed:

-6 Mana for Auctioneer.

-1 Mana Jade Idol

+1 Mana Innervate

-1 Mana Jade Idol

That left me with a board:

Auctioneer + 3/3 Jade Golem

 

The KI killed these.

Turn 6:  (8 Mana)

I played second Auctioneer and started to play more Jade Idols. I draw into second innervate. And used more Jade Idols.

-6 mana auctioneer

- 1 mana jade idol (first one to have more jade idols in my deck IIRC)

-1 mana jade idol

+1 mana innervate

-1 mana jade idol

 

Left me with a board

Auctioneer + 4/4 golem + 5/5 golem

 

Now the KI kicked in - and was stupid. Instead of going face (which would have killed me a turn or two later) it took out some minions. Auctioneer survived.

 

Then I flooded the board with golems.

Something up to 12/12 or something like that

It got kind of close to death because he had double Blizzard

Killed a few golems (2 or 3) and I replaced them. Left me with a board of 8/8 to 14/14 or something like that.

Then he had no more mass freeze and I killed him in one turn.

 

 

To make it short: Mulligan for Wild Growth and / or Jade Blossom

Restart a few times until you have at least one of them (better both) in your starting hand.

Or one of them and another of your good cards (auctioneer, Jade Idol, Innervate)

Especiqally Jade Blossom is extremly important - it gives you a crystal and starts your jade golems. Maybe restart if you don't have this card early.

On turn 5 you should have at least 7 mana and an auctioneer + 1 innervate. And a Jade Idol.

Or if you have 8 mana you won't need the innervate.

That sounds like: "Hey, what are the chances of getting all these pieces"

They are not that bad - because you don't have many cards in your deck.

And if you play auctioneer + Jade Idol or Innervate he gives you another card, with a high chance of getting the needed next innervate or jade idol or whatever you need.

If you don't draw into your next auctioneer you probably will loose the game, because you need to flood the board on turn 6 (with at least 8 mana and auctioneer that is doable. But not without auctioneer, you will be lacking cards)

I finally got around to beating The Lich King for the first time today. I tried it with a few of my normal ranked decks and achieved my first win using Murloc Shaman. I just finished skimming over the comments on this thread and can confirm what others have already stated- Murlocs are a cheap and effective way to win...at least in shaman. I will explore the possibilities with other classes when I have time.

The key cards that brought swift victory for me:

Call in the Finishers

Gentle Megasaur

Everyfin is Awesome

You do have to be somewhat lucky with mulligan and/or draw. It took me three attempts to land that combination of cards, but it resulted in a kill by turn 6 before he could even equip Frostmourne.

They got Lightning Speed (windfury) from Megasaur. Couple that with 2x Everyfin is Awesome buffs and it's all over but the crying.

I just beat The Lich King with Druid using a Medivh Plague deck that I use in Wild. It only took two attempts. (The first was just awful and not worth talking about...)

I used the smaller minions of the deck (Mire Keeper, Slime) buffed with Power of the Wild in combination with spells like Wrath or Swipe to keep the board clear during phase 1. If Nourish is drawn during the early game, choose the two mana crystals for ramp.

During phase 2, I ran each of my remaining minions into different trapped souls to a) clear my board to take full advantage of Spreading Plague and b) to lower the health of multiple souls so that a few will die the moment they attack my soon-to-be buffed Scarab Beetles. Plague + Power of The Wild + Mark of the Lotus = a board full of 3/7 taunt minions. All the Lich King could do was throw his souls like lemmings into my beefy scarab.

By the time phase 3 rolled around, victory was mine. I played Medivh, the Guardian, then on the following turn, Ultimate Infestation which summoned Deathwing in addition to the Ghoul Infestor.

Honorable mention goes to The Lich King. He immediately fell victim to The Black Knight's battlecry. He was good for an emote exchange with the true Lich King, but that's about it. Haha

My goal is to beat the Lich King with a different class on each of my days off from work, so the hope is to churn out 2 wins per week until I reach 9 total.

Jade Lotus is not even a card. It is a faction. The Jade Druid deck contains Jade IdolJade BehemothJade SpiritMark of the Lotus. The Miracle Druid deck contains Jade IdolJade Blossom... I'm confused by this question.

Finally got around to beating The Lich King with another class- Paladin

I first built a murloc deck, but after 3 or 4 attempts, I wasn't feeling it. I decided to scrap it and build a Silver Hand Paladin. Using my dudes, I defeated Lich King with just one attempt...

40KTfNH.png

The Flaming Claws adaptation from Lightfused Stegodon in combination with the buff from Competitive Spirit provided enough face damage for a turn 6 knockout. A turn 1 Lost in the Jungle, followed by hero power on turn 2 and Muster for Battle on turn 3 allowed me to achieve maximum benefit from Stegodon on turn 4.

I didn't have an opportunity to see how the rest of the deck would play out, but I don't have much desire to repeat Lich King encounters unnecessarily... Perhaps I just got lucky, but I felt this to be a strong build for this fight. If anyone desires my decklist, I'll be happy to share.

People are still trying this? I won with one class, after that every attempt was a fail, I thought about how I played and my decks, compared it to others and I really just got unlucky every damn attempt, got tired of it, not worth my time ;)

But nice you made it :)

I have just defeated The Lich King with my 5th class- Rogue. It took me only one attempt.

2JwlW4u.png

I built a Reno Deathrattle deck that turned out to be more than adequate. Anub'arak was a beast in this fight. (I think this is the first time I've ever gotten any use out of him.) Lich King even has a flavorful emote expressed toward Anub'arak, trying to recruit him.

Sylvanas Windrunner on turn 6, followed by Unearthed Raptor on turn 7 allowed me to steal two of his Trapped Souls. This was a big help in quickly progressing through Phase Two with minimal damage.

I needed to play Reno Jackson twice to stay alive. The second copy was created by Zola the Gorgon. (Follow Reno immediately with Zola in the same turn, before Reno has a chance to die.) The deck also includes ShadowcasterSonya Shadowdancer, and Gadgetzan Ferryman as a means to create even more Renos or N'Zoths or whichever other minion you deem necessary at the time.

Anub'arak was surprisingly effective. He even combo'd well with the Lich King's Val'kyr Shadowguard. Having that big threat to play repeatedly, which left behind a 4/4 each time, kept the Lich King on his toes. Anub'arak was a prime target for my Carnivorous Cube. :)

I did not even draw N'Zoth, the Corruptor, but he was clearly not necessary. Lol

Just beat the Lich King with my 6th class- Warlock- using a Reno Discard Quest deck that I threw together. 

One of the easier encounters, because you can just use a standard Reno build to win.

9Pz7HP3.png

I completed the quest all at once on turn 6 through the use of Malchezaar's Imp + Cataclysm. Then on turn 7, I played Nether Portal and Doomsayer, destroying all Trapped Souls and ending phase 2 immediately. Thanks to the previous Cataclysm wipe, there was nothing to respawn on the Lich King's side. (If you don't have Cataclysm, Doomsayer, or Twisting Nether during this phase, another alternative is Shadowflame cast on Abyssal Enforcer. That's how I had to clear the Souls in my 1st attempt.)

The constant board presence of the Nether Imps was actually very useful. Every turn, I was just running them into the Lich King's minions, keeping the board clear and going face with my other minions.

Bide your time with Reno Jackson. With 0 or only 1 minion on his side of the board, all I really had to calculate was the damage from his hero power. I waited until I was down to 8 health, and I think his hero power was up to 5 damage.

Sylvanas Windrunner was great, as usual. I traded her with the water ele to steal the Lich King's buffed Maexxna. That was pretty sweet. ;)

The Lich King wasn't immediately killed by Obliterate, surprisingly. He lasted a full turn, giving me Death and Decay and Anti-Magic Shell, which are the two most beneficial DK spells, imo.

Done with all  9 classes. The Warrior deck does work, but I think Pesty's explanations were not clear enough and she's going to fix them. The most important thing is to play Brawl + Deathlord on Turn 8 and Kel'Thuzad on Turn 9. When Turn 9 starts, playing KT behind a 1-health taunt (Deathlord has 8 health minus 5 from the weapon attack from LK minus 2 from the 2/6) triggers a bug and the LK does nothing at all until you kill the last 2/6 (unless you play another taunt). In the meantime, you need to manipulate your hand as described in the guide.

HELP! they must have fixed this bug! multiple times i've had Turn 8 Brawl + Deathlord into Turn 9 Kel'Thuzad. The 2/6 is now a 2/4 and proceeds to attack my deahlord, killing it, and setting off a minion for LK. The next turn the Soul kill itself against my resurrected deathlord and ends the stall. what is there to do???

      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.
      Deck code / link: 
      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.
