Deathbringer Saurfang Boss Guide - The Lower Citadel
The second boss of the Lower Citadel you'll encounter is Deathbringer Saurfang. He can only be attacked with weapons, so I hope you've got a stash sitting around.
Fight Details
Deathbringer Saurfang is an interesting fight in that he only has 20 Health instead of the usual 30 and he can only be damaged by one source - your weapons! The fight requires some good control on your part to prevent him from healing and to ensure his entire board isn't just taunt minions (which he has plenty of).
Yarr harrr! We've had fun with your typical ladder destroying Pirate Warrior deck. Just make sure you get weapons out as soon as humanly possible and smack him in the face. Try to keep minions in play to deal with his taunt minions; Sometimes he'll go face with his rather than trade so don't feel bad about passing if trading would result in a minion death that wouldn't kill a taunt.
Watch Out for These Cards
- Blood Beast - They need to be taken out as soon as possible or all that damage you've done doesn't matter.
- Skeletal Knight - Good idea to ignore this when possible. The odds of you getting something useful are slim.
Rewards
Unlike previous adventures, this boss does not reward you with a new card. Instead, you will receive a Frozen Throne card pack upon completion of the Lower Citadel wing.

yeah I used an obsidian shard and doomerang rogue deck, I basically had a total of 60 damage in my deck to do to him, and the hero power, plus some decent removal meant I easily won. I was annoyed that he has no class and so only gave me coins, but it worked anyway.
I just made a deck in 30 sec to try out my new hero from prologue (Garrosh, pretty crap), and when u actually play him, Saurfang goes 'ATLAST! A WORTHY OPPONENT' i thought people might wanna try the interaction :p, give me credit thanks! :D
He is a decent dk, at the very least he is better than hunter. Also That is a cool interaction, If/when I get garrosh I will try that.
I don't hate garrosh he's good but i wanted Gul'Dan or Mage tbh, I'm happy with what i got tho :), check out the interaction... You'll like it!
Pirate Warrior
This is hands down the most frustrating battle I've ever played in Hearthstone. How is it actually possible to win?
pirate warrior
I tried and lost every game.
Ended up winning with a weapon centered Rogue deck.
Contrary to game mechanics, Heroic Strike delivers its damage if you have a weapon equipped! (HS does *not* temporarily increase the attack of your weapon, it adds attack to your hero.)
I didn't get a chance to try HS without a weapon equipped.
Used Classic Warrior deck recipe.
Traded two cards for two Upgrade!.
Controlled the board until I had an Arcanite Reaper equipped.
Donezo.
Just beat him first try with standard constracted pirate warrior deck, no changes made.
What if you dont have "Im in Charge"?
You replace it with a weapon and still go face.
