Tips and Tricks
Gothik's most problematic ability in this fight will be his Unrelenting Trainees, Unrelenting Warriors, and Unrelenting Riders which, on dying, spawn Spectral Trainees, Spectral Warriors, and Spectral Riders respectively on your side of the board. These minions have no innate attack value, and deal 1 damage to your Hero each turn.
The easiest way to handle these Spectral minions is by using the Flametongue Totems and the Defender of Argus present in your deck, which allow you to grant these minions attack value, and thus attack with them and get them killed off. This can also be accomplished by using Rockbiter Weapon. If truly desperate (which is unlikely, but possible), you can Hex them yourself to prevent them dealing any more damage.
You can also fill your board with minions before killing off the Unrelenting minions. It will prevent the respective Spectral minions from spawning. This is particularly effective against the Unrelenting Riders, whose Spectral Riders can be especially hard to deal with.
