This deck is aimed at players who have finished LoE on normal, but have very basic cards and are struggling to kill scarvash. A.K.A: me, until I came up with this, that is. As so, we will only be using cards from the Adventure itself, plus just a few more Common cards. Flame Juggler and Armorsmith are included, but they are not necessary, so if you don't have them, just swap the out with other 2 and 4-drops.

Strategy: Your main strategy will be your mulligan: You need a Fiery War Axe on Turn 2, and an Eerie Statue on T4. Why? because you need to take out the 3 health Trogg that Scarvash has in order to reduce damage. He will attack anything on the board as long as he doesn't have lethal, so the Eerie Statue will take out at least 2-3 minions when it is played, (hopefully) clearing the board and allowing you to stabilise and launch a deadly counter-attack.

From turn 5 onwards, play as you would normally, taking out his minions efficiently with spells (I like to use Inner Rage + Execute to deal with his biggest minions) and weapons alike, while developing your board. Your Obsidian Destroyer will play a key role in this, as it will allow you to starve off face damage by generating taunts every turn. This is important because the damage you took in the first few turns plus the damege you WILL take from using your weapon on his minions will put you very low (I finished the fight with about 9HP and a couple of Armor Points). Thankfully, our Hero Power is Armor Up!, which should help in that regard. I only put in a few taunts in the form of Lord of the Arena and Dread Corsair as this a pretty basic deck, but if you pulled a couple of Taunt minions from packs, you can swap them in. Your end game will consist of picking apart every single minion he still plays, and hopefully finishing him off with buffs from Stormwind Champion or Rafaam and his Lantern of Power.

 Obviously, this deck requires some luck, (I mean c'mon this is Hearthstone we're talking about here) as you NEED to pull both the War Axe and the Eerie Statue in order to stabilise and begin fighting back. Sometimes that alone will not be enough, as Scarvash could pull 2 tunnel troggs early on and use Confuse to swap their attack and health, putting you on very low HP. Even if you manage to take the board, you might still die to something like Crackle or Starfire (Yes, he has cards from multiple classes).

In the end though, this is probably the best way a F2P can go about doing this fight reliably. Once I came up with this deck it took me about half a dozen tries to do it, and then another half a dozen tries or so to make sure my win wasn't just a One-Time-wonder. So hopefully you'll also take him out quickly.

Thanks for stopping by, and let me know if you have success with the deck or any suggestions you might want to make in order to cheapen the deck further or simply better it in any way.
