Hey guys,
Here's the deck I used to take down the Lich King with Jaina. In short, here's the general strategy:
1) Aggressively mulligan for both Kabal Lackey and Counterspell. You need the secret up on turn 1 to counter his turn 1 spell which sets your life total to 1. You will likely concede many times prior to acquiring both cards in your starting hand. If you have both, then keep scientist/arcanologist or card draw.
2) Congrats, you can now play a fair game of hearthstone. The deck plays like freeze / quest mage. Draw as much as possible early on while slowing your opponent's development. You are trying to draw into the combo of apprentice, molten reflection, Emperor, and Tony.
3) Eventually you will play Tony to get a reduction on all of these cards. If you have all of them in hand, you will be able to OTK the lich king on the following turn. If you are low on health and have the combo in hand, make sure you have ice block up on the turn you jam Emperor!
4) After the Emperor reduction, play the quest mage OTK of 2x sorcerer's, 2x molten reflections targeting your sorcerer's, and then play Tony. If you had all of these reduced on the previous turn, you have 1 mana to spare, meaning you can afford to miss a reduction on 1 of your apprentice's if necessary. Be sure to navigate your way to this turn such that you have a spell with a maximum of 4 mana cost in your hand which you may cast for zero with your four apprentices in play. Generate your infinite fireballs.
I hope this guide is helpful to some of you struggling to take down the Lich King!
Worked for me. Took me about 6 times to get the opening combo, then I had to play it out 3x to get a victory. I substituted Reno for Alexstrasa and that saved me an extra turn each time. I also subbed in a Azure Drake for Arcanologist so that the Curator would pull it.
Worked like a charm. When I won I did it because he didn't hit Antonidas with his weapon and went face instead - even though he didn't have lethal. He could've killed off my apprentices with his minions too (it was a gamble from my side, ok?). So don't be afraid to DARE lol.
-Alextrazsa -Curator, +Arcanologist +Ice barrier
I'm getting so close, I think I can win with this deck, I'm getting luck on mulligan too, kabal lackey + counterspell three times in a row already
Can't get this to save my life. Only get the combo 1/10 times. And then I always get killed with ~8 cards left in my deck.
K here's the secret to winning: just go face, when you're low the Lich King just goes face, even if he doesn't quite have lethal. so just keep bashing him in the face and keeping out of lethal range with lifesteal until you can finish him.
Got it on my only restart.
"How did that get past QA?!?"
Got kabal and counterspell after mulliganing and restarting about 20 times. It's hard because you can't muligan your quest without risking not getting it in an early round draw. This method takes a lot of patience but I know it works because I've seen it done myself. Just gotta be patient.
What is that alexstraza for in this deck? xd
"You will likely concede many times prior to acquiring both cards in your starting hand."
After 2 hours still have not drawnKabal Lackey and Counterspell
The quest makes the mulligan much harder. If you're going for the Lackey + Counterspell combo, it's better to play Freeze Mage and win without OTK
win on second try with the combo in hand t1
