Mulligan Guide: High Justice Grimstone does not have any spells in his deck, but it is completely filled with annoying Legendary minions. He won't have any trouble casting them either, because he gets a boost of three additional mana right away. It's best if you can start with a Mad Scientist, Mirror Entity, or Doomsayer.
One of the best cards in this deck is undoubtedly Animated Armor. Often times the AI wants to go for face instead of trading minions and this really works to your advantage if you have the Animated Armor in play, because he will usually ignore him completely. It doesn't always work that way, so you still have to be cautious. If your life total is already low enough that he would normally have lethal within a turn or two, then it's a safe bet he will continue to ignore the Animated Armor. If you play it while you're above 20 Health or so, then don't be surprised if he decides to kill it.
Once he reaches 10 mana it's not unusual for him to play Deathwing even if he already controls the board. You should try to hang on to a Polymorph for this inevitability, if possible. Another good target for your Poly is Sneed's Old Shredder if he casts it earlier.
If you are able to get a Mirror Entity out early you may be able to get a copy of Illidan Stormrage, which can really help you fill up your side of the board. Sadly, the minions are still very susceptible to Baron Geddon or Flame Leviathan. Sometimes he will play Millhouse Manastorm late in the game and then you can drop Archmage Antonidas and destroy him in one turn with unlimited, free Fireballs.
Archmage Antonidas can really help secure the late game by giving you loads of Fireballs, but if you have to switch him out, you might want to just toss in another Flamestrike. If you'd like to get different deck ideas, please check out the links below.

Be sure to add Frost Lich Jaina if you have it, she won the game for me :)
It took me quite a lot of tries but eventually I copied hogger with mirror entity. I was luckily able to keep hogger on the board and with the infinite gnolls I was able to win.
Thanks. Face is the place
I agree, @GeorgiousHELLAS! He has another heroic deck for this hero that got upvoted much more than this one, but for me, this is the better deck.
Plus I enjoy the video guides he makes! It is so helpful to see five wins in a row against the same heroic boss.
I admit, just this week I finally got around to getting my Naxx card back thanks to this guy's decks, so I am one of those slackers who has taken way too long to get my heroic backs!
It is nice to see these sorts of updated versions of heroic decks, since a lot of the old strategies don't always work anymore due to AI changes, new better cards, etc.
Great editing! I wonder why this doesn't have more popularity. I guess people don't play Heroic Adventures anymore.
