     Mulligan Guide: Your most important cards to mulligan for are Coldlight Oracle and Gang Up. If you've never played a "mill" deck before it will take some trial and error before you figure out how to approach it. Be sure and watch the video below to find out how to get the best results from this deck.

     Gothik the Harvester will ramp up incredibly fast with his special ability Harvest, but you can punish him for going through his deck so quickly by filling his hand with more cards than he can hold and forcing him to draw into fatigue.

     I would like to point out that the AI for this fight is really wonky. He will often do strange things, like kill the Spectral minions on your side of the board by flipping them with Crazed Alchemist (even though they are damaging you) or use Shadow Bolt on his own Abomination, wiping out his minions in the process. My favorite is when he has a full board and I have one Annoy-o-Tron out and he casts Corruption on it, then passes his turn. In spite of his bad tactics he can still be tricky at times and just overwhelm you with minions.

     Your goal isn't to do a lot of damage to him up front, but you are really trying to get all the pieces together and then crush him within a turn. For instance, if you have Brann Bronzebeard on the table and play a Coldlight Oracle when he is out of cards he will take 10 damage right away (1 + 2 + 3 +4) and then immediately take 11 more when his turn starts (5 + 6) from his draw and his special ability on auto-cast - hitting him for a grand total of 21 points of damage! You'll find this can be a really fun fight!

 

     There aren't too many cards that can be switched out because this is a very specific deck that needs Gang Up and Coldlight Oracle. Preparation isn't critical, but will definitely help you cast Vanish early if he floods his side of the board. If you do not have Brann Bronzebeard you could switch him out with another Antique Healbot. However, I would advise against this as Brann Bronzebeard makes it so much easier to kill him. If you would rather try a different style of deck here are some suggestions below.
