Boss Overview

Chieftain Scarvash is the first boss in the Uldaman wing of the The League of Explorers adventure.

Chieftain Scarvash has two Hero Powers, which cycle at the start of his turn. He will increase the cost of either your minions or spells depending on the turn. Normal difficulty this adds 2 mana to the base mana cost of the card type, but on heroic, it will set that cards mana cost to 11 regardless of the base cost.

Weapons shouldn't be effected by either Hero Power, which makes Rogue, Warrior, Paladin, Shaman, Hunter all viable options.
There are no special boss-specific cards associated with this fight according to client data.
Hero Powers Normal: Trogg Hate Minions! Trogg Hate Spells!
Hero Powers Heroic: Trogg Hate Minions! Trogg Hate Spells!

Pro Tips and Strategy

Scarvash not only starts with 30 Health and 15 Armor, but also with Rockjaw Trogg and Stonesplinter Trogg on the field.

Used this deck to beat Scarvash on Heroic. Bunch of heals, board clears, and taunts. He killed doomsayer on turn 2, but Reno saved my ass.

Thanks, it took several tries, but I finally beat Scarvash! I replaced the Kabal Lackey with Sir Finley Mrrgglton and the Friendly Bartender with a Stubborn Gastropod. The gastropod is a great starter! :)

This boss is impossible for those without godlike cards. Not a single basic deck can beat this god-awful example of how not to make heroic bosses. Please Blizzard, fix it so us casuals also have a chance of beating this boss. THNX :(

You're not supposed to be able to beat Heroic bosses with basic cards!

Why would they do that? Why would any company making any game ruin it for the people least important to it?

"Make the game unfun for people who are invested so people who don't really care very much can defeat the game easily!"

It's not even like you get any cards for heroic. These are the same idiots complaining that the game should be completely "free " (as if it weren't already) and there should be no advantage in spending money OR time.

For some reason I had an animated armor and abomination on the board and he stopped attacking with his minions.

Oh and by the way, he won't attack animated armor only if he has lethal, it's programmed to attack face only if he has enough damage to kill you, but in reality you will only take 1-5 damage :D

Mulligan for Doomsayer + Bow

If he used the spell Confuse on your Doomsayer, try again.

However, if Doomsayer did his job, you will have a 90% chance to win.

Took me 4 tries to get him.

Hope this helped you guys and good luck!

I tried this deck except I replaced the 2 legendaries with 2 Call of the Wild. I had to restart a couple of times until I had Doomsayer in hand and it helped that I drew another one 2 turns later. Finished him off with CotW no probs. Probably lucky I didn't get Confuse cast against me, but see how you go.

This worked after 5 tries or so.
