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.
Unfortunately, I found this deck for Faerlina after using 2 different decks for the other bosses (Maex took 9 tries with another deck). This deck, was the easiest to use. I beat Fearlina on the first try. Great deck, thanks for this.
No problem. Yeah I got the decks out as fast as possible. But they didn't it the "Main Page" Top Decks till a few days later. Would have helped a great deal of people wanting to defeat them easily.
You're welcome. Happy to help! xD
I subbed out the 2x Lord of the Arena for 2x Azure Drake
I am also willing to put 2x Ancient of Lore,wich card should i replace?
If you have Azure Drakes and Ancients of Lore replace Lord of the Arena and Sen'jin Shieldmasta. And you effectively have my "budget ramp druid" version. The Strategy is the same as the 1 on top. Never use Lore for health, always for draw. And never play an Azure Drake unless you going to immediately taunt it/get value "board clear" with it.
Check my Alternative Deck, for better info on the Naxx portion.
Subbed out an Ironbark for Alex... which was of course summoned by one of the Deathlords I removed :) One shotted Anub and Faerlina, even after a horrendous mulligan. Once you empty your hand on the board and it's full of taunters, Faerlina is straightforward.
Thanks!
Thanks for the deck: I beat Anub on 2nd attempt very easily after an awful draw first time around.
I don't have any Keepers and only one Sunwalker and have not been able to beat Faerlina yet.
Keep trying you will defeat her, with some luck! If you need more help scroll down. Some other players don't have some of the cards in their decks as well and they've found alternative cards to use in their place and it allowed them to succeed. Maybe you can also use those cards or similar ones to help you with the second boss. Goodluck!
I just created an account to thank you for sharing this deck. Very Effective , did it on the 1st try.
well, surprisingly from the first game against the Grand Widow, this deck worked for me after i added few changes to it due a certain fact that l mess some of it's core cards, and here's the summary of the changes:
2x Wrath ---> 1x Mad Bomber + 1x Novice Engineer.
2x Keeper of the Grove --> 1x Spellbreaker + 1x Abomination.
1x Earthen Ring Farseer --> 1x Voodoo Doctor.
2x Harvest Golem --> 2x Haunted Creeper.
1x Defender of Argus --> 1x Silvermoon Guardian.
2x Sunwalker --> 1x Fen Creeper + 1x Silvermoon Guardian.
Thanks so much!
You are right. Takes a little RNG, but we all need a little now and then in Hearthstone.
After 4 tries I was thinking I suck or this deck does. Mixed in some big taunt minions to replace the missing ones, and got it on 5th try.
Thank you oh so much for this deck.
It took me three attempts to get Anub down (mostly due to really bad card draws). On the third attempt, I ended the game with FULL health + 4 armor.
Against Grand Widow Faerlina, it was a quick and easy one shot.
Prior to this deck, I was struggling against Anub for quite some time.
Excellent deck. Took me two tries due to some really bad luck first attempt. Do not have any Sunwalkers so subed them with Hogger and Maexxna - though I bet the Sunwalkers work much better for a turn 6 play.
Sunwalker Were invaluable in both matchups, especially in Anub. A 4/5 with divine shield meant he would trade 3 of his hero ability tokens before 1 sunwalker died, in the mean time I hit his face 3 times with it for 12 Damage. MVP of that matchup xD.
The strength of this deck is the almost literal guarantee of 2 for 1 trades, and sometimes those 3 for 1 trades. They just couldn't handle it.
MOAR TAUNTS, HANDLE ITZ!
Yeah, I can see Sunwalker having good value in most of the Solo Adventures.
Thank you, Adurin! I've tried a number of different "go for the face" class decks to down Heroic Anub'Rekhan. With your deck, I got him on the fourth try with only one health and one armor left! That was with horrible mulligans and a few scary moments without a taunt card! :) I don't have any Sunwalkers yet, so I popped in two Fen Creepers instead. I'm so relieved to be done with that beady-eyed creep!!
Thanks man, I was stumped on hardcore. beat them first try with this deck.
You're welcome. I was amazed myself. Who would have thought all you needed was 80 dust to have an easy heroic win! xD
if u have it Alexstrasza instead of Ironbark Protector and its stupidly easy, 1 shot both anub and Faerlina
Haha i beat heroic anub by turn 6 first try with this deck. A lot was RNG though (having mulliganed 2 wild growths and an innervate, and his minion that summons a minion from your deck when killed summoned a boulderfist ogre (i put in cause i didnt have the right cards)).
10/10
