Heroic Thaddius' Warlock
Hi everyone, and welcome to the final boss of the Heroic Construct Quarter: Thaddius! It is in my opinion one of the most fun battles in the add-on. With his Polarity Shift, it makes this game a little bit of a chess game.
Background
Thaddius has his Polarity Shift Hero Power which switches the attack and health of all the minions on the field. He also starts his first turn by summoning for free Feugen and Stalagg on the field, however they will not have their deathrattle, but two minions at 4/7 and 7/4 that keep switching their attack and health means that you'll get 11 damage to the face until you can deal with them. So unless you want him to "Kill!" us, here is a Warlock strategy to beat him.
Strategy
- To start off, I would like to say that this is based on a Zoo build, which means in mid-game you will usually want to Life Tap for extra draw and gain a hand advantage over Thaddius.
- To kick start the match-up you want to mulligan for a Soulfire and a Corruption as these two cards will eliminate the both Feugen and Stalagg swiftly. You will also want a 1 drop minion that you can play on your first turn.
- Edit: You can also switch Corruption for an Unstable Ghoul in the mulligan, as he takes care of Stalagg after the Polarity Shift whilst as usual, Soulfire will take care of Feugen. Thanks to Goge for bringing this up and giving us more options to deal with early game.
- Just to be clear, getting clear of both Feugen and Stalagg is the toughest part of the match-up but once done, things should go smoothly.
- After that, you want to control the board whilst buffing your Undertaker in the early and mid-game.
- You can use the Dire Wolf Alpha to take advantage of Polarity Shift and therefore continuously buff your other minions.
- Around turn 5 you will want to play either Feugen and Stalagg, especially if you have either a Shadowflame in hand or a Baron Rivendare on the field. Either minion will summon a (or two) Thadius when dead, which is an 11/11. Just try and play around polarity shift when you do so.
- Once the board is settled, you will be free to go for the face. You shouldn't have too much problems from then on.
The early game is the most difficult part of the game, but once you get rid of both Feugen and Stalagg, you should be fine. RNG doesn't play that big of a party in this match-up as you are playing a Zoo build and will be drawing a lot in mid game, making sure you can be mana efficient. Good luck guys and see you next week!
If you are having troubles with the rest of the Construct Quarter check my other F2P decks out for Patchwerk, Grobbulus or Gluth.
Here is a great game from Kizaru1 using this deck to beat Heroic Thaddius, check it out!
Edit: After considering everyone's opinion in the comment section, I decided to switch -2 Voidcallers for +2 Unstable Ghouls for couple of reasons: it helps avoid face damage in the early game, reduces the attack of the minions on board for the next turn and Voidcaller is actually pretty useless apart from buffing the Undertaker. After testing, the deck seems more reliable in the early game.
great deck! congratulations!
great deck, did it from first attempt :) tyvm
worked great! first time!
success at 5th attempt, i switched out a lot of the naxx cards for free taunts like tazdingo, gets pretty easy once stalagg/feugen
With all the deathrattle and hunt for thaddius. Wouldn't Power Overwhelming be a good choice?
edit: Won without drawing Feugen or Stalagg. Found that Power Overwhelming and Void Terror is a great combo :)
Took me a couple tries but when I finally got Thaddius it was over.
Lol Triple Thaddius. Thanks for the Deck! 4th attempt.
Second try gg....Soulfired one and Turn 2 Ghoul took care of both Feugen and Stalagg
Got double corruption on the first turn and still lost. Killing feugen and stalagg is the easy part. He has a million sludge belchers to use afterwards.
Basically u need corruption and soulfire at turn 1 or 2 followed by stallag or feugen at turn 5 for ensured win.
Got him to -9 health at the end while having 12 left.
I am having no luck with this deck at all. 21st try and even with PERFECT mulligans and taking no damage while getting Fuegan and Stalagg off the board, I still lose control of the board and he always has the momentum. I feel like this deck needs more taunts.
The deck "worked" for me, but the RNG involved took me from level 55 to 56
This deck is too RNG at the start, have to change a ton of cards to maintain board control since he has so many AOE clears and buffs.
Easy as pie. Got 2 Thaddius thanks to Baron and then..
Thanks, but i made a important change.
Removed both Nerubian Egg and put Abusive Seargent, this helps you to kill his 7/4 with any 2/1 card =)
Sounds good u can increase your chance of killing them, i was thinking about putting 1/2 minions for 1 mana (else your 2/1 will become 1/2 and u cant kill them) so i can kill them at turn two with them and abusive sergant.
Works like a charm =)
So basically is you don't get corruption or soul fire on the first turn you lose. After 13 trys with this deck I am not sure what i am doing wrong but I am not even coming close with this deck.
Got it on first try. Unstable Ghoul and Nerubian Egg are also viable options for mulligan seeing as how you only need 4 damage. You don't need Corruption or Soulfire until turn 2.
It's awesome when you get the right mulligan and after destroying Feugen, he just Lightning Storm your Unstable Ghoul. Four times in a row.
