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
View the Kel'Thuzad Boss Guide
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?

^Heres a cheaper version to the ComboHunter made by VargasHS, that I used to KO'd the Frost Wyrm. He hasn't put up a guide and stuff but it plays as you think it should, trap + bow = crowd control. Save Deadly Shot for lone Spectral Knight and trying to use bow whenever you could because Skeletal Smith can wreck your bow.
I like how when you fight him with a Shaman and you say "For Doomhammer!" he retorts: "You're fighting for a hammer? Ok then..."
shaman is op on heroic vs him too
his 8 mana mind control steal your totems each time so all your important creatures are safe
I think he i s just trolling i am still fighting against KT 3 hours now and 2 from last night he is a tough nut to crack!
idk what youre talking about, sure the Paladin they give you isnt very good, but its not that hard to play if they give you the Actual good cards lol
Can't wait to get this goin today!
If you cast Animal Companion while figthing Kel'Thusad, you get 100% Mister Bigglesworth, a beast kitten with 1/1 and if you get him taunt with Hound master, they will attack your face right through the taunt. I was so shocked to see it, I forgot to printscreen it.
Here's what the kitty looks like summoned. Sadly it didn't screen cap the tooltip, though it just says "this is Kel'Thuzad's kitty".

I noticed that too! Anymore known Eastereggs concerning Mr. Bigglesworth?
other than Kelthusad saying curse you when you kill bigglesworth i didnt notice any
Watched Amaz and Trump defeat these bosses with priest, mage, and shaman. It was painfully easy even in heroic. I think the other bosses were vastly easier. The 3 damage every turn is far more painful than the random mind control. He basically never uses it, because he always drops a minion first if he has one, which means he never has 8 mana for the mind control. He'll also use shadow madness, but never sacrifice the creatures, he'll instead just smack you in the face. You could have a 3/2 and he'll steal a 2/3 and instead of killing it, he'll hit you instead. He'll also use his minions to attack yours, instead of your face, and THEN use twisting nether. The AI is just blindingly bad and could use little tweaks here and there to make it a challenge.
I like the heroic Sapphiron battle because it forces you to make a unique deck and play differently. I'm curious to see if people come up with decklists for other classes that can work, though.
The zoo is so lame against kel'thuzad, can't reach the chain mode with enough minions to kill his 5/5 without the perfect draw and without him putting at least one abomination on the field... And what the hell about the imps? You already have not enough life with any other class so what the bananas is that guy doing there?
With Zoo it is very easy. You only need a bit luck that he does not Frostbolt one of your minions away early on. The rest is really easy.
Yeah on 6 tries he happened to do it every time, the start we can see on the video in the description, never managed to get it, and once i had like 4 guys on board, he always put an abomination that i couldn't handle without clearing my board. Every time. So maybe you got lucky faster than me, but the deck is still bad in my opinion.
Okey, let's see if I can do this...
