The Frostwyrm Lair Heroic Boss Deck Guides

Need some help with the Frostwyrm Lair on Heroic Difficulty? We've compiled some community created deck guides to help you out! The decks used for Heroic difficulty can also help you on Normal. If you're looking for information on this week's class challenge, head on over to our Paladin Class Challenge Guide.

Heroic Sapphiron

Warning: Alexstrasza cannot be used on this fight.

Heroic Sapphiron is a huge step above the normal version of this fight; You don't have access to Frozen Champion! The goal of the fight is to keep Sapphiron's minions at bay while smashing into his face as quickly as possible.

At the start of Sapphiron's turn, all your minions that are not frozen will be destroyed. If you want to play with minions, they're going to need to have charge to be of use to you or you can freeze them with cards like Frost Elemental and Ice Lance and hope they aren't killed off. Amaz was able to defeat this fight with a spell and secret heavy Mage deck which kept enemy minions under control while he smacked Sapphiron with Pyroblast, Fireball and various summoned minions.

Heroic Kel'Thuzad

Warning: Alexstrasza cannot be used on this fight.

Excluding Loatheb the man of gimmicks, Heroic Kel'Thuzad has the highest amount of effective health in all of Naxxramas, 65 (45 health, 20 armor). Once you have taken down Kel'Thuzads armor, phase two begins; Your turn will immediately end and he will bring out two Guardian of Icecrown onto the field which will put up a mighty wall against you. You are going to need to be able to immediately deal with these on your next turn as if you don't, you're going to be hit for quite a bit of damage. The worst part of all this though? Kel'Thuzad hits your hero for 3 damage every turn, and freezes you, until you get rid of his armor. No weapons until phase two! Once the armor is gone though, say goodbye to his freeze because he gets a permanent Mind Control hero power (Chains)!

So, how do we beat this absolute beast? You're going to want to get rid of Kel'Thuzad's armor as fast as possible, while making sure you can deal with his Guardians the moment his armor is gone. Once you've made it to phase two, continue to keep his side of the board clear while keeping your side fairly light on the minions.

Zoo/Rush style decks can be fantastic tools against this fight provided you get lucky, but be warned though, on turn 8, you have a good chance of seeing Twisting Nether. At least it clears his side of the board too, right?
