Overview:
A pretty easy fight. Use taunts and spells to remove his minions and then go face with weapons.



Mulligan:
There's not a huge rush to get anything done, as Saurfang is not that threatening. Mulligan for something to play early: Stubborn Gastropod, Slam and Annoy-o-Tron

Early Game:
Play Fire Plume's Heart on turn 1, and then armor up or a 2-drop on turn 2. It's very straightforward. The name of the game is to use the minions and spells to keep the board clear and save the weapons for face damage at the end.

Mid Game:
He has a lot of enrage effects and 1 damage AOE, so you can exploit those weaknesses with Frothing Berserker, Grim Patron and Bloodhoof Brave. You have your own 1 damage AOE as well with Warpath and Scourgelord Garrosh's hero power.

Late Game:
At this point, you have total control. And it's time to clear up any Blood Beasts remaining, as they are the only thing standing in your way of victory, but most will likely be dead. 

He only takes damage from weapons and you have a combined total of 37 weapon damage on his 20HP. You have a Gorehowl for 7 damage, Arcanite Reaper for 10 damage, Shadowmourne for 12 damage, and finally Sulfuras for 8 damage. Go face.

Alternate Standard (Year of the Dragon Build):
Someone asked for a Standard version, so here you go (the Halazzi, the Lynx came from Sindragosa, who came from his Skeletal Knight).

It's basically the same strategy, use the taunts, rush and charge minions to keep the board clear, and save most of the weapons for face - though Sul'thraze is helpful in clearing the board as well.

Replace these wild cards:
-1 Fire Plume's Heart
-2 Annoy-o-Tron
-2 Stubborn Gastropod
-2 Stonehill Defender
-2 Tar Creeper
-2 Bloodhoof Brave
-2 Grim Patron
-1 Scourgelord Garrosh
-1 The Lich King

With these:
+2 Phantom Militia
+2 Rabid Worgen
+2 Kor'kron Elite
+2 Militia Commander
+1 Arcanite Reaper
+2 Rotten Applebaum
+2 Sul'thraze
+2 Amani War Bear
