"Leaf Us Alone" achievement deck that will grant you total of 735XP for completing all 3 stages.
Summon 20/100/200 Greybough's
105/105/525 XP
10/10/20 Achievement points
Remember all achievements must be completed in ranked or duels.
This deck has NO win condition so only use it if you don't care about your wild ranking or if you have reached your desired wild rank.
This is something I quickly build for this achievement and it turned out to work pretty well so I thought I shared this deck and do a little write up since this achievement was skipped in the excellent SirJohn13's (almost) complete guide to the achievements that offer XP
Always try to get Greybough in your starting hand! Other good cards to have at start of the game are the mana ramping cards.
I completed this achievement within 4 games but I was pretty lucky getting Greybough in my starting hand twice and running into opponents who managed to get their own Greybough copies (first opponent by Faceless Manipulator obtained by Zephrys the Great and the other opponent by Mind Control Tech). I actually believe both opponents were aware that I was going for the achievement and they got a pretty good amount of Greybough summons for there own achievement just by keeping the game going so it was a win-win.
To keep the game going and summon as much Greybough copies as possible it's important to avoid hitting face. Just try and keep the board clear until you are able to put Greybough on the board while ensuring he gets in to the pool from Da Undatakah,Hadronox and N'Zoth, the Corruptor by using Naturalize or Carnivorous Cube or combo both when possible! Unless you have Flobbidinous Floop in hand when playing Greybough then you can take a risk and maybe setup for a better combo next round.
Possible replacements
It's certainly not necessary to have Da Undatakah,Hadronox and N'Zoth, the Corruptor in this deck since these cards were sitting in my hand most of the time when my board was already filled with Greybough's but I would suggest at least keeping N'Zoth, the Corruptor in case your opponent has Mass Dispel or Plague of Death. If you don't own Da Undatakah / Hadronox you can replace those for something that allows you to return N'Zoth, the Corruptor to your hand or shuffle him in to your deck.
I don't think Guess the Weight is a necessary card in this deck but I needed to guess the weight right for the achievement "RIGGED!" (Guess the Weight correctly 10 times) and it offered me pretty good card draw especially when combined with Solar Eclipse so if you have the card you could include it.
Replays of 2 games where I estimate I summoned roughly +- 140 Greybough's

Thanks for putting this together! Really helpful. Was going to take forever doing it in standard and this was great if you get lucky with a few folks willing to try to get down to fatigue. Definitely helps to never attack them so they have hope of fatigue. Due to all the fast decks, I lowered the curve a bit with the following:

Nice variant with lower curve, however if you need lower curve I would go further and also replace Da Undatakah by Faceless Manipulator (nothing beats copying a Greybough that already had a deathrattle of summon +2 Greybough
I would even consider replacing the second Stonehill Defender or Spreading Plague by a additional copy of Faceless Manipulator because it's also the only card allowing you to get Greybough [/card] if you opponent would for instance [card]entomb of Mind Control your fist copy.
Finally finished the achievement! I've had 3 games where my opponent was clued into what I was doing, and this deck worked great. Lots of suffering otherwise. :)
You could switch some legendary minions for cards that allow better control against aggro and provide some card draw like Wrath and Rising Winds
Rank 10 silver and I'm facing nothing but aggro. I'm lucky to get 1 of these out per game.
edit - I'm up to 30 games, and 10 Greybough played. If I'm lucky enough to draw him before turn 5, he'll almost always get killed/hexed/silenced, and my opponents have all had lethal by turn 6 anyway. I managed to get 2 in one match, that's it so far.
I can see how that would be a issue, like I said I was lucky to face 2 controls deck @ rank 5 gold who copied my Greybough. If you're only facing aggro I'm afraid you have to wait until you have a good match up. But this will be a issue for all decks that are specific for this achievement.
Do games against friends count towards achievements like this one? (sorry, too lazy to figure out for myself)
Only ranked or duels count for achievements.
almost 1/4 of the deck is orange, good luck
Like I said in the guide, there are quite a few legendary cards that are not necessary, but these do help you to get easier Greybough summons with deathrattle triggers,combo's or copies on the board in a more reliable way.
If you really wanted to you could do similar deck with only Greybough and N'Zoth, the Corruptor other legendary cards are just there to deliver the summons in a more reliable way.
Nobody is forcing you to do the achievement or to use this deck. Maybe you could post a budget deck for this achievement with 0 legendary card and just hope to discover Greybough each match? I'm sure this would be a great succes!
Just what i needed....In game achievements...... I just got over my X-Box achievements hunting addiction
“You shouldn’t wake the trees, child.”
GREEEAT! I think I did 84 in 1 game vs Warlock. He copied my Greybough then we were.... loooping ;)
