UPDATE: I updated my old deck, which i created shortly after the wing was open. In the new Version i use some of the new Cards, which works pretty well. Win rate is 90+ %. I tried to give a short overview about the strategy below, but i think it is clearer in the Video.
Main strategy: Deal with his minions, Control the board and kill him with fatigue.
- Mulligan: Search for Fiery Waraxe, Cleave, Nerubian Egg or Explosive Sheep.
- You should kill his minions as soon as possible, but at the same time try to get as much value out of the removals as possible. Sometimes it makes sense to wait before you kill a minion. For example with the necroknight or to use cleave one turn later. Also don't waste your good removals like Bouncing Blades for weak minions. Then it would be better to Play Nerubain Egg and kill the weak minion one turn later.
- To kill the minios it is often the best to use the weapon, if your life is not too low. Try to keep some minions with charge or spells for the case he freezes you.
- Don't use Shield Block to early. Due to his spells you will be low on health at a certain Point. That is normal. However, it is actually not bad to be at 12 health or lower, because some of your spells become really strong and you Need that. So wait with your Shield Blocks until you are <=12 or when it is really necessary.
- A problem are the sprectral knights, because apart from the Gorehowl your weapons are not strong enough. Therefore it is good to Keep Bouncing Blades for them. Another threat are the Necro Knights. However, those are easier to kill, especially is you have Mortal Strike and <=12 health.
- Nerubian Egg is always good after Shade of Naxxramas, because you know you can trade it for something. Try to play it early if it is possible, so he can't use Blizzard.
- Another important thing: Try to use your hero ability as often as possible. In the middle of the game you will be really low on health and then you would regret if you didn't use it. When you have the option at the end of your turn to play a weapon or use your hero ability, then use your hear ability.
- Another important part is that you shouldn't try to hit him even when he don't have minions on the board. Try to save your weapons, minions and spells. You Need those Cards to deal with the board and you have later enough time to kill him. Just attack him when he don't have minions anymore or you know that you can destroy the last minions really easy.
- Be aware of his deck and yours. He has 3 necrokinght and 3 spectral knights which are more difficult to kill. Think about the cards you already used and what combos are still possible.
I recommend ugrade because it allows you to kill his spectral knights
Given the misery the RNG gods like to put me through it took me a "few" tries, but I finally managed to beat Sapphiron with this deck. What a beast of a battle that is ...
Thanks for the deck idea!!
Deck worked really well I used Revenge x2 in place of Whirlwind, Explosive sheep x2 in place of elven archer, I took out 1 heroic strike and 2x inner rage for 1 more shield slam and Antique Healbot x2.
I ended with 24 health and 12 armor.
You're very reliant on him placing his spectral knights next to his Necroknights, I think. If you don't get value out of necroknight deathrattle, you can't win.
Wow, needed more than 10 tries. But I knew this was THE DECK. Finally beat him :D
I used 2 Upgrade! instead of Gorehowl and it works well with Arcanite Reaper against his 6HP-knights. Also added 2xExplosive Sheep and 2xAntique Healbot instead of rares in your deck.
Thank you for nice deck idea.
THAT WAS BRILLIANT!! I got it on the first or second try (truth be told, after so many tries and decks, I didn't keep count...)
And what's more, I had NONE OF THE EXPERT CARDS NEEDED, not even the uncommon ones, let alone epics... Was using the Naxx ones of course, like Nerubian Egg and Death's bite, but had no Gorehowl, inner rages or Shieldslam, nor the Arcane Golem.
The key to it is the approach, cheers to the OP! Being on the defensive, killing minions and dealing little face damage (unless, for example, wanting to trigger Death's Bite without getting hit, like happened to me). Goes without saying that you always have to consider using your hero power, cause every time you don't is a lost chance.
If you don't have any of the expert cards, I personally threw in the Bluegill Warrior and, since I had them, two Explosive Sheeps and two Southsea Deckhands. What I mean to say with all this, is that it's possible to win with a very BASIC DECK, even if it is probably more difficult and I had a bit of luck. Still, 160 dust total if you wanted to craft these cheaply. Personally, I think the inner rage is less versatile than these, and by the time you need it (+Kor'kron Elite to hit a Spectral Knight or Necroknight) you probably don't have the need for the 0 mana cost.
Got it on the 2nd try, this deck is really effective and doesn't need to rely on luck of the draw of cards to win.
Wow! This deck is awesome! I was struggling so much at the first few other decks and yours made it easy! Thanks man!
I'm wondering why they didn't include this deck on the bunch of guides for beating sapphiron?
Awesome deck, i got it on my 5th try , i dont have any hunter deck and i failed on do this with mage, so i tried this deck and worked!!
Replaces:
-1x Gorehowl ---> +1x Mortal Strike
-1x Shield Slam --->+1x Reckless Rocketeer
Thanks for share this deck, and thanks for the explanations.
Be patient. Keep your main cards to clear minions. Use hero power as many as possible. It is quite surprising how Sapphiron just dies out at the end. I finally got my card back. Thanks for all the instruction. People don't explain much about their decks.
Amazing. I spent hours on this boss with other decks and this one got him first try even without Gorehowl, Shield Slam, Mortal Strike and Arcane Golem. Slam and some other chargers were nice replacements.
I one shot heroic Sapp with this deck. Thanks!!!
I am glad you enjoyed ;)
I used your deck and killed Sapphiron in a pretty easy battle. =)
You found the perfect recipe for that boss. Thanks a lot!!!
