Hearthpwn

Greetings !

Next deck of my serie to defeat each boss of Hearthstone in heroic mode :-)

Usually I try to to propose standard and as cheap as possible. The deck is indeed standard but clearly expensive :p Having 10 mana every is clearly an opportunity to play all your favourite big minions, isn't it ?

So, if you don't own all the cards no worry! Just adapt the decklist. See possible remplacements in the dedicated section.

Overview of the boss

Nightbane play many big minions and windfury effect to deal a maximum of damage. Keep in mind that his deck includes Alexstrasza, so you should always have a taunt minion to prevent bad surprises, and Deathwing so you should not commit to much.

Nightbane draws little, so when he plays Deathwing, if you can control the board, you win.

Overview of the deck

Basically you want many resilient taunt creatures to defend. And Warlock has the perfect creature to this end : Voidlord. Beside, he also has many taunt creatures very interesting (e.g Tar Lurker, Vulgar Homunculus).

We include all the nice combos offered to the warlock to maximize the winrate:

• Demon synergy (e.g. Skull of the Man'ari, Bloodreaver Gul'dan, Voidlord, Doomguard, Vulgar Homunculus)
• Cube combo (Carnivorous Cube, Voidlord, Doomguard)
• Spellstone combo (Lesser Amethyst Spellstone, Vulgar Homunculus, Kobold Librarian)

To fill the rest of the deck, I put:

• Big taunts: Sleepy Dragon, Giant Mastodon
• Spicy big legendary minions. The most interesting one are The Lich King, Alexstrasza

Replacements

This decklist can clearly be adapted to become cheaper, because it is in its current shape a bit overkill.

For example, Bloodreaver Gul'dan or Skull of the Man'ari is very important. These cards are definitely good, but in this deck there are expensive cards more important (for instance, Voidlord, Primordial Drake, The Lich King).

For card replacements, I suggest to include resilient taunt minions, for example:

• Hooked Reaver
• Wax Elemental
• Stubborn Gastropod
• Stonehill Defender
• Lone Champion
• Tar Creeper
• Saronite Chain Gang

But do not forget in this case to include winning condition in your deck. Here damage are made by Alexstrasza, Doomguard, and The Lich King. The strong resilience of the minion does the rest. If you do not have them, you should probably envision MVP cards like Vicious Fledgling. Volcanosaur, or more generally minions with a big attack staying behing your taunts.

Good luck :-)
