BOSS STRATEGY
A simple, "introductory" sort of fight made to make sure you got the right types of cards to deal with any situations - a "gear check" if you will.  Marrowgar will almost entirely depend on his weapon doing the brunt of the damage, so the first thing you should do is have minions (and mulligan for such minions) that can destroy his weapons.  He has only two Bryntrolls in his deck, so if you get rid of both, his threat level plummets.  The rest is straight forward - his spells consist entirely of AoE damage, and his minions are all tiny and low cost - some of which get rid by those same AoE spells.  If you can get out a few big minions at a time, he's nothing.

HEROIC CHANGES
50 Health instead of 30.  His weapon is stronger at 4 Attack, and his Bonestorm spell now causes 2 damage and gives him Mega-Windfury.  In addition to whatever you got for him in the normal version, stick him with freeze spells to delay him.

BOSS STRATEGY
Another fairly straightforward fight - he strategy relies entirely on flooding her side of the board with numbers, while immediately killing anything you summon.  Her hero power will randomly summon one of her four unique minions (hope she doesn't call out the muscle) at the start of her turn at no cost.  To prevent any pesky specialized minions with Battlecry, she has those annoying spider weblords, and when her side of the board gets meaty, to attempt to discourage any AoE damage she has the nerubian eggs.  A fairly regular freeze mage should do the trick.  In fact, even a face huntard will work - considering she has very high Health.  If you try to go with huge minions, she has a few ways to make your life not so much fun in that regard as well - namely Dominate Mind.  She will almost always try to suicide the big minion, but if not, will outright hit you with it.

HEROIC CHANGES
Only one change - her hero power now summons three minions at no cost.  So, by turn 2, her board will already be almost filled up.  Delay, delay, delay.

-Blood Beast x30

BOSS STRATEGY
Here's a fight that could go even quicker than Patchwerk - for both sides.  Saurfang's strategy is based entirely around pumping iron, and virtually every turn his weapon will get very strong very quickly.  It never runs out of Durability, and it can't be destroyed - so, no Acidic Swamp Oozes or Harrison Jones' here..  His deck, too, is based entirely around powering his weapon via cheap Blood Beasts.  As such, there's no ways of doing this - once again, delay/freezing him will do the trick; or, focus entirely on wiping out the beasts and developing board presence.  To make your life a little bit easier, you get two Deathbringer's Wills in your hand at the start if the game (similar to Atramedes).

HEROIC CHANGES
Could redefine hell.  He's got a whopping 99 Health instead of 55, and his Blood Beasts now grand him +2 Attack instead of +1.  That, and you don't get any Deathbringer's Wills.  Have fun!

BOSS STRATEGY
Fairly straightforward fight.  Rotface's power works on ALL minions - including his own, hence his strategy for the most part is to flood his side of the board with weenies in the hopes of summoning a Big Ooze.  And his deck is chock-full of weenies, from TEN Echoing Oozes to even a bunch of Spiders.  Then there's Precious!  Awww.  She too will help him get weenies on board.  If you manage to kill her, you'll get her ribbon, which will snag you a whole lot of nice bonuses for practically nothing.

HEROIC CHANGES
50 HP instead of 30.  He starts the fight with Precious already on the field, and his Hero Power costs less and will only summon Big Oozes, making his weeny deck a whole lot more threatening.  Focus on getting rid of precious first to keep from the board getting filled up, then rely on AOE spells to do the rest.

BOSS STRATEGY
Despite having almost exactly the same deck as Rotface, Festergut's strategy is wholly different - and scarier.  His game revolves entirely around summoning Spores on your side so he can boost his weenie minions.  Stinky's there to help with mass Spore poppage as well.  Fortunately, there are two things going for you - his Spores are weaker than Loatheb's, only giving +3 Attack instead of 8.  And, you also start the game with two Fungal Pops to try and even the odds a little bit.

HEROIC CHANGES
Starts with 60 Health instead of 30, and already has Stinky on his opening board.  His Spores are now the same as Loatheb's - granting +8 Attack, and you get no Fungal Pops.

-Duplicate x2
-Arcane Intellect x2

BOSS STRATEGY
A fairly unusual fight - his Hero Power automatically gives him a 1-cost spell at the start of his turn that emulates one of the nine basic class hero powers - and these 1-cost spells are specifically designed to juice the minions he has in his deck - almost all of them are affected by casting of spells or cards.  And that's...really all there is to him.  The rest of his deck is also made of cheap spells - the most dangerous being Naturalize and Duplicate.  Basically, try not to let him get too many of his minions out there.

HEROIC CHANGES
Quite a few.  He starts the fight with 60 Health instead of 30, and he starts with both Festergut and Rotface as minions on his opening board.  They too are designed to complement with his bottles, making the fight a whole lot tougher.  Most interestingly though, in Heroic Mode his hero power now has the chance to grant him two additional bottles, BOTTLED INFERNO! and BOTTLED MAGMA! - which emulate the powers of Jaraxxus and Ragnaros.  Sooo...hope he doesn't get them.

BOSS STRATEGY
The first of the Blood Prince council, and the first one to set the stage.  His Hero Power (along with the other three) will randomly make one of his minions Immune that turn.  Combined with the fact that he has mostly Deathrattle minions that multiply, he's all about board dominance.  You can make use of his Baron Rivendare when he summons a Skeletal Soldier, since those will actually multiply in your deck.  The real trouble comes with his Kinetic Bombs - they have a Countdown timer of 10 turns - once 10 turns are up, they'll pop and blow away your whole side for 5 damage.  So, obviously, kill them before they do that.

HEROIC CHANGES
Just one change - his Kinetic Bombs are a helluva lot more dangerous now, with a Countdown timer of just 3 (though doing 1 less damage).  Mulligan for stuff that can silence them.

-Healing Wave x2

BOSS STRATEGY
An incredibly lame and cowardly fight.  He has the exact same hero power and Kinetic Bombs as Valanar, so beware of that.  His overall strategy though is to copy your minions with Gang Up, then get red of them with either a Frostbolt or Shadow Bolt (or Mortal Coil - whatever).  So, his overall strategy is to steal your own minions en masse then summon them to the forefront.  If his Health is low, he makes it even more annoying by using your own minions against you with a Healing Wave.  Flamewalkers are also there to make it just right.

HEROIC CHANGES
Same as Valanar - his only change are the more powerful Kinetic Bombs, though it gets much, MUUUCH worse here:  He'll often use Gang Up on his own Kinetic Bombs to multiply them, and basically wipe you out.  Have fun!

BOSS STRATEGY
If you don't play Priest, then at the very least bring a few reliable ways to constantly heal your hero, or build up armor very quickly.  Taldaram will constantly attack your face with direct-damage minions and spells.  Outside of this, out of the three he's easily the simplest to work around

HEROIC CHANGES
Just the Kinetic Bombs.  Though, given his preference for face attacks, it's just the kick he needed to elevate himself officially to a pain in the ass.

BOSS STRATEGY
A fairly unusual one.  The Queen's strategy is all about killing your things, while keeping her Health as high as possible.  All of her minions give her Health with her hero power, then there's some that already have that as an effect - doubling the gain.  One possible go-about is to play Handlock and just summon really, really big things - although, she does have a few ways of dealing with that as well.

HEROIC CHANGES
One of the stranger heroic changes out there.  She starts with a whopping 99 Health, and this time she has the entire Blood Prince council on her starting board as minions, who play by their own little rules:  Keleseth and Taldaram are immune, and the only way to get rid of them is to kill them in that specific order, starting with Valanar.  If you want to Silence someone, do it only on Taldaram, since you want them to keep their Deathrattles.

BOSS STRATEGY
Svalna would be almost hilariously easy if her hero power wasn't quite so nasty - she essentially steals your dead minions, rendering most of her deck to be made of power ups.  A good way to take her on is to play with an Argent Paladin deck, and use her own hero power against her to clog her board with Silver Hand Recruits, then AOE damage.  Though be careful that she doesn't buff those same recruits too much.

HEROIC CHANGES
Just 60 Health instead of 30.  Sounds more tame than it is giver her, again, assholish hero power.

BOSS STRATEGY
Sindragosa has a very, very nasty hero power that will pretty much be the end of you once she starts using it.  The only thing keeping her from using it are Ice Tombs - you get one out on your side of the field when you start, and three more in your opening hand.  They're pretty much your life savers.  Unfortunately, Sindragosa has a few removals and some really big minions in the forms of dragons.  Fortunately, Rimefang and Spinestalker play by the same rules as her hero power, which ironically if you've got managed, render them useless.  They're just there to intimidate you (and clutter her board!) - ignore them.

HEROIC CHANGES
You start the board with two Ice Tombs out, but none in your hand.  Those two are all you get - keep them alive at all costs, otherwise you're done.

BOSS STRATEGY
A tough but fun one!  He's got some very nasty spells and minions in his deck, along with a hero power that will always bring him a worthwhile minion per turn - in addition to a whopping 99 Health.  Fortunately, you start the board with Tirion Fordring right then and there!  Basically, just try and tough it out - watch out especially for Remorseless Winter, and keep in mind Blighted Abominations can bypass Tirion - and they will, straight for your face.

Once you get him down to 1 Health (he cannot go below 1), Terenas Menethil will show up in your hand.  Play him, and you finally win.  If your board is full, tough tits - wait until next turn until you have an open spot.  If your hand was already full when you get him down to 1 Health, then you're spectacularly boned - just be a man and hit concede.  You have to play him to win.

HEROIC CHANGES
Two changes, but significant enough.  He gets 50 Armor on top of his 99 Health, and you don't start the game with Tirion on your board.  So, same basic strategy, just requires better survival skills!

THE LOWDOWN
The Skybreaker starts the battle with 60 Heath, and Muradin Bronzebeard out on the field.  Compared to Orgrimm's Hammer, The Skybreaker is all about offense and assault.  Its Hero Power is fairly unique - off the bat, it only deals 1 damage, but for every turn it goes unused, it deals 1 extra damage - up to 5 (this includes your opponent's turns as well).  This makes it extremely versatile for just about any situation if you apply proper timing.

THE LOWDOWN
Orgrimm's Hammer starts the battle with 30 Health and 30 Armor, along with Varok Saurfang out on the field.  Compared to the Skybreaker, the Hammer plays a much more control oriented methodical game with a bit of focus on gaining lot of armor.  In this instance, unlike the Skybreaker, Orgrimm's Hammer actually has a way to "heal."  The rest is biding your time and playing big minions when you get them.  Another neat thing Orgrimm's Hammer has are Axe Flingers - during the battle, the Skybreaker will be dishing out a whole lot of damage all over the place.  Axe Flingers are an excellent way to use this to your advantage.
