Main ideas:
- Gothik is going to die from FATIGUE, neutralize all of his 30 cards and the fight is yours, don't bother with attacking his face.
- Mulligan for Doomsayer and Equality/Wild Pyromancer, early board wipe is key, the spirits should help you establish some board presence.
- Use Defender of Argus and Sunfury Protector on your spirits, so they have to die before he can attack your face.
- Try to get your Sword of Justice out when your board is decent, it will start buffing the newly spawned spirits with +1/+1 so you can crush them into enemy minions.
- Main Targets for Aldor Peacekeeper and Humility are his 5/6 minions, but 4/4 Abomination is also a decent target.
EDIT: Divine Favor turned out to be a dead card quite often, so I replaced both with Blessing of Wisdom x2. A good use for these is either on turn 1 turn 2 on Gothik's first minion or later in the game on the big fat ones (preferably 5/6 Rider). Combine with Humility/Aldor Peacekeeper for great value.
EDIT_2: Swapped out Blessing of Wisdom x2 for Lay on Hands x2, which combines card draw and healing, also replaced underwhelming Argent Protector x2 with Guardian of Kings x2 (both suggested by enerkom, thanks).
EDIT_3: Final edit. Took out one Sword of Justice (two were unnecessary) and one Lay on Hands and put in Deathlord x2, which helps immensely to survive at the beginning.
Good luck! Don't forget to upvote if you like it!
First Try! Thanks!
Hey all! Just figured I'd share our video of us rocking this deck to victory!
This finally did the trick for me, but it took quite a few tries. Thanks! :D
Great deck, I swapped -1 Doomslayer(only had 1) for Sludge Belcher
Got close in the end, but pulled my heals at the best time. +1
Thanks, this did the trick for me! I was ready to just give up on him for a while.
Only change I made was Tirion for the second Doomsayer (which I didn't have). He did the trick and blocked hits that would have killed me when I had 2 health left, took a Corruption, did 6 damage to Gothik's face, then died from said Corruption as Gothik died from Fatigue damage. It was pretty emotional stuff as Tirion went down in heroic fashion!
Tried all the other decks on the front page except mage (don't have those legendaries) and no joy after numerous attempts. Tried this deck and one-shot Gothik. Awesome picks. This should be on the front page! Thanks very much!
This is an awesome deck. Got him in game 1 using this deck. There were a few substitutions I had to make though since I didn't have 2 copy's a few cards. I basically traded 1 Mind Control Tech and 1Doomsayer for 1 Blessing of Wisdom and 1 Blessing of Might.
The key to this deck is using Equality when there are a lot of minions on the other side. If Gothik has a Unstable Ghoul or an Abomination you've basically caught him w/ his pants down, and board wiped him out. Don't worry about gaining his specters. You'll be gaining more than enough life with spells to counter the damage, and even get to buff them using your blessings or Defender of Argus.
Good luck and have fun guys.
I really hate this Alexstrasza bragging. Most people don't have that card, and if you did, you wouldn't need help building a deck to take down these heroics.
Great deck !
I win the fight on my 2 try. I changed 2x Blessing of Wisdom for 2x Guardian of Kings and 2x Argent Protector for 2x Lay on Hands
I also made those substitutions and found they make the fight easy sauce.
The big mana cost of Lay on Hands and Guardian of Kings is not a big deal imho, because if you cant make it to that level of mana, you are toast anyway.
Your suggestions work great, thanks.
Got it second try great deck!
not working bad deck imo...
I don't own Mind Control Tech or Sunfury Protector. Any good replacements?
Unfortunately both are quite critical for this deck to work. Mind Control Tech is insane value, one good minion steal can swing the whole game in your favor. Sunfury Protector is necessary to buff spirits with taunts, which a) slows Gothik down before he can attack your face b) makes Gothik kill them eventually so you won't keep losing health.
I don't own Doomsayers. I guess I'll never beat this fight. Thanks, Blizzard.
Doomsayer isn't THAT key. Replace it with a decent taunt, preferably Deathlord. This fight is all about board control and protecting your face.
Equality is much more important, works wonders in combination with killing Gothik's Abomination for the wipe effect.
It's hard to find other cards to fill its role, minions like Raid Leader or Dire Wolf Alpha don't really work.
I'd replace it with some good value taunts, such as Deathlord, Sludge Belcher or perhaps your own Abomination.
Nice deck, got him on my 4 try :)
this deck does not work at all
