Unlike Normal, the hero power for Mirror makes a copy of all minions for itself now and you get nothing. The idea is to drop minions that benefit the AI the least, which is basically the point of this deck.
Super easy Fatigue deck. Save the Shadowstep and Gang Up for Coldlight Oracle, just keep clearing his board with the plethora of AOE (remember Explosive Sheep is 4 to all minions since mirror gets the 1/1, and you can ping it with weapon) . Only cards to worry about are Archmage Antonidas and Rhonin who hinder the AI more than anything with more hand filling, but if you're unprepared he may be able to burst you down.
Also - Watch out for Counterspell, test with your cheaper removal or prep, don't want to waste your Shadowstep or Gang Up on this if you really need those extra mills. Because he has so much draw, it shouldn't be a big deal but will be harder to recover.
Dark Iron Skulker - Great for cleaning up the 1/1. Comboed with the other removal in the deck, can take out almost any threat.
Coldlight Oracle - Try to hit the Duplicates with this if you can too, some more easy self-milling.
Revised to Doomsayer since I missed him on first build.
Note for some subs if you're missing the Epic cards: Doomsayer doesn't really have a sub and neither does Preparation. But if you don't have them, you want to either add some more healing in Zombie Chow or Corrupted Healbot or board damage like 1 more Tentacle of N'Zoth and/or Abomination. You want to extend the game through board clears, healing and causing the Mirror to over draw and lose cards, eventually dying to fatigue.
If you're not doing well and dying too fast you think, you can also sub the Chow/Healbot in for Prep. Chow is better for the low curve out and a steadier early game, Healbot will provide more value overall but at a higher mana cost.
Thanks for all the support, wasn't expecting much out of this but glad I threw it up here!
I recorded the deck in action to give people a basic idea of how it works:
As much as i would love to comment "Beat him first try, great deck", i'm not.
Four tries so far and only the first time i came close to killing him. Then again, i have NEVER managed to get a single coldlight oracle mulligan or draw in my first 10 cards in any of those games, and i eventually run out of removal cards for his board because i'm nto drawing anything.
Am i still playing this wrong and it should be easy even without an early oracle draw or am i just fucked with my terrible luck?
Great deck, won on second try and not first due to bad RNG. Seems to work better than the other Priest deck going around, as that relied a little too much on luck.
Easy win, thanks :D
Thank you, this deck worked like a charm.
Beat him very handily (first try) with a variant of this deck after dying miserably with other classes. Props for reminding me about how fatigue decks wreck heroic bosses.
Some cards I tried out that were extremely useful but not in this list:
- Doomsayer - hard counter to his deck, you would run 20 of them if you could
- Corrupted Healbot - super useful heal plus an undercosted body, also replaces for chow if no wild cards
- Kezan Mystic/Eater of Secrets - he often gets 3 secrets in play early on
Yea, If I was going to make a perfect version I would sub in the Doomsayer's for sure. I actually came up with this list on the fly and wanted to copy it here since I usually forget my heroic boss Decks! I added the comments after. I should update just so people can use a better version, I really wasn't expecting this much attention!
Healbot I considered, the big negative was the cost for mill but it can work.
Secret's aren't a big deal, Duplicate is actually beneficial most of the time so not always the best to take it out.
Very good job both on the deck and on the description.
My first thought was also the good old mill rogue, and the mirror was beaten on the second try however after several refinement I optimized to control fatigue rogue. Check my standard only version if you are interested:
-1 Tentacle of N'Zoth -1 Shadow Strike
+2 Doomsayer
Doomsayer is just too good to pass up in this match, otherwise great list.
1st try! whoa that was fun, Gang Up his Archmage Antonidas + milled him. thanks
-Zombie Chow +Doomsayer
Did the same, i have disenchanted all wild cards :P
first try easy
I not have Preparation and Explosive Sheep, replacements?
craft explosive sheep, it's very important board clear only for 80 dust
One more tentacle of nzoth and an Abomination to replace the sheep.
The prep is harder, cut one Vanish too, and add more healing (Earthen Farseer, Tournament Medic), removal(Southsea Deckhand), aoe (Abomination, Betrayal) for the 3 free space.
Also got it on my first try. Thank you so much for this!
Worked like a charm.
