I beat Heigan with an early version of this deck, then refined it and beat him again. He should be a piece of cake with this cheap deck!
Strategy
Basically almost every minion in this deck survives or benefits from his hero power. Egg gives you the minions and golems and creepers eat hero powers for two turns, allowing you to spam out even more cheap minions and gain control of the board. The beginning is the trickiest part but once you control the board, you've won.
Mulligan
You want to make sure you have Sacrificial Pact or Corruption on your starting hand - it doesn't hurt to have 2 of them either. That way you can deal with his early board minion. If its deathrattle spawns something ridiculous like a Doomguard, it might be a good idea to just concede and hope for a voidwalker next time. Nerubian Egg is also a good starting card.
Extra information
It's usually not a good idea to instantly remove Heigan's first minion on the board - he really likes to buff them up with Demonfire so you can get some nice 2-for-1-value if you wait with killing it off until he's buffed it.
Remember to be clever about your positioning. You want to put anything with a deathrattle or divine shield or high hp to the left, and cards like Flame Imp and Doomguard to the right.
I've seen some people run Gurubashi Berserker which seems like a very strong card in this matchup. If you want him in, you can swap out the Mogu'shan Warden.
Good luck!
Worked awesome! I tried to have Sacrificial Pact and Corruption on my starting hand so I gave up 2 times and after that I killed him on my 1st try ;) Thanks.
If you don't have all of the cards set this set, try subbing in demon focused cards similar to what Heigan pays. I was missing the Argent Squires, Harvest Golems, a Scarlet Crusader, and a Defender of Argus, and replaced the Nerub'ar Warlords. I added Demonfires, Voidwalkers, a Felguard, a Doomguard, Shadowbolt and the like. I subbed a Silvermoon Guardian for my missing Scarlet Crusader. After a few false starts it worked.
I tried a couple of other decks before I saw this one. And, this one was much easier to win with. Thanks so much for posting it!
Perfect deck. Easy win. Thanks!
Wow... Thank you so much for posting this. After hours of trying and 40+ games with other decks, I switched to your deck got lucky and got this to work within 3 games!
took me about 4-5 try but when you control the board he is done ... good deck to beat him. Mulligan for a starting hand with Sacrificial Pact AND Corruption and you should beat him.
