Naxx Reminder
Sometimes you will get bad hands/draws as the match progresses, making it harder to come back or keep said taunts up and kill them. If this happens try again, until you get a good hand and good follow up draws. You will beat them, just keep trying! :)
Mulligan
You want to Mulligan aggressively for Wild Growths and Keeper of the Groves against both of them. You need to ramp up to your taunts as fast as possible.
Strategy
1. After the Mulligan phase is gonna be one hard match no matter what. Wait till turn 2 to Wild Growth to set up for bigger minions. You want to keep Keeper of the Grove as a battle cry kill X card only for Anub'Rekhan, for Grand Widow Faerlina you can keep it as 2 damage or for the silence depending on the situation.
2. Only play taunt minions as you ramp up for "MAX VALUE". Cards like Chillwind Yeti, Earthen Ring Farseer, and even Harvest Golem don't give you the value if you don't follow up with a Mark of the Wild and/or Defender of Argus immediately after playing them.
3. The key is to keep stonewalling your opponent into making 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 trades, shielding your health as much as possible. Never control the board, always go for the face.
4. There will be times were controlling the board is to your advantage, but in most cases it won't be. Be on the lookout for those moments.
5. Against Grand Widow Faerlina you want to control her Worshipper minions in heroic because they give her +3 attack each and she will place anywhere from 1-3 of them in back to back turns. If unlucky she might even place 2 on the same turn. You want to kill these because she will use the attack gained by them to more quickly and easily go through you taunts, thus lowering you taunts potential and killing you that much faster.
6. Keep bashing them both in the face, and putting taunt after taunt up to maintain your health. They voluntarily trade into your minions so you don't have to control the board xD
7. Wrath can be use to either clear 1 minion off the board or to draw a card if you can kill a minion of with the 1 damage , but always try to get maximum value from it.
8. Swipe has to be use to clear minions ASAP, or if your taunt walls are healthy and your in a far ahead position to do 4 damage to them, as this is who kills who faster. In heroic mode you will be using this to clear minions as they get on the board, using it as 1 of your 2 "minion control" cards, while your taunts bash them in the face. Don't be stingy with them either. Using it to clear 1 minion with high damage and health will only serve to "extend" the life of your taunts which is exactly what you want. The longer your taunts stay up the more damage they can dish out, and soak up.
Alternative Deck
For an alternative version of this, that is a bit more expensive in dust, but works just as well, if not better check out My Budget Ramp Druid. It will be a more fleshed out version that also was able to beat them both.
Honestly man, I think you had really bad luck or you were just playing something wrong. Good job tho!
2nd try on both heroics, excellent deck!
Great deck! Beat Faerlina on first try and Anub at the 2nd attempt.
Didn't have Sunwalker, so I replaced for Ancient of War.
It worked like a charm, thanks. ^_^
(Against Faerlina) I was skeptical at first. I kept losing really quickly and badly. But then on my 5th or 6th attempt, things went totally smoothly. I could kill her elephant with Wrath on turn 2, then I got Harvested Golem turn 3, then I killed one of her worshippers with Swipe, then I drew Sludge Belcher just in time on turn 5, and I got complete control of the board. I was down to about 10 health by that point, but it hardly got any lower than that after that. Her small minions just charge the taunts and die while the taunts can take another hit or two, all the way to victory. I didn't get any Wild Growth on my winning run, surprisingly.
First try thanks
This deck is great and worked well for me.
I highly highly suggest mulling everything but wild growth and if you don't get it in your opener, wait for your 2nd turn draw. If you don't have Wild Growth then, concede and try again. That turn 2 Wild Growth is vital.
This deck worked for me on second try for both Anub and Grand Widow.
You essentially need that "momentum" early. You need to get wild growth, or... I was able to beat grand widow with 2 innervates early on, and no wild growths at all. At that point, you'll basically be ahead of the boss and keep trading while still doing damage to the face.
First try!!, Thanks for the deck man, Amazing
Got it on the fourth try. -2Sunwalker +1Kel'Thuzad +1Nerfarian its all about getting Wild Growth on the second turn :)
I'd lost a lot before and then I just made your revision and it works :D thanks!
I dont know if I am just extremely unlucky but nothing I do works. I have lost 30+ times in a row with this deck. I will persist on though.
Yeah man, I tried this deck 15 times, 15 defeats in a row lol, but everyone is like "worked smooothly" "amazing deck", I really don't know we're doing wrong lol
he was on 1 hp and i died.
Defeated Faerlina on fourth try. I conceded a couple of times before my first turn to get the Wild Growth.
Poison seeds combined with mark of nature is pretty handy if you need to clear the board. That or combine it with starfall. Was the key for me when beating Grand Widow the first time.
Thank you so much! I was missing some cards from the deck so I replaced them with even more taunts. Faerlina couldn't handle all these taunts and I beat her first try.
We loved this deck for our Anub fight, but in case it's not working for you on GWF, checkout out this modified zoo deck.
Simply brilliant! I got nailed Heroic Anub on the first try using your deck and strategy! Won it by a landslide, wow.
Got it on the second attempt, thanks. I subbed 2x Shade of Naxxramas for 2x Harvest Golem which worked nicely for me. I liked the suggestion someone else made to sub Sludge Belcher for Lord of the Arena, wish I had of thought of it.
My friend and I are doing a series for Heroic Hearthstone Bosses.
Wanted to share the video we made using your deck. Check it out.
