Naxx Reminder
Sometimes you will get bad hands/draws as the match progresses, making it harder to come back or keep said taunts up and kill them. If this happens try again, until you get a good hand and good follow up draws. You will beat them, just keep trying! :)
Mulligan
You want to Mulligan aggressively for Wild Growths and Keeper of the Groves against both of them. You need to ramp up to your taunts as fast as possible.
Strategy
1. After the Mulligan phase is gonna be one hard match no matter what. Wait till turn 2 to Wild Growth to set up for bigger minions. You want to keep Keeper of the Grove as a battle cry kill X card only for Anub'Rekhan, for Grand Widow Faerlina you can keep it as 2 damage or for the silence depending on the situation.
2. Only play taunt minions as you ramp up for "MAX VALUE". Cards like Chillwind Yeti, Earthen Ring Farseer, and even Harvest Golem don't give you the value if you don't follow up with a Mark of the Wild and/or Defender of Argus immediately after playing them.
3. The key is to keep stonewalling your opponent into making 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 trades, shielding your health as much as possible. Never control the board, always go for the face.
4. There will be times were controlling the board is to your advantage, but in most cases it won't be. Be on the lookout for those moments.
5. Against Grand Widow Faerlina you want to control her Worshipper minions in heroic because they give her +3 attack each and she will place anywhere from 1-3 of them in back to back turns. If unlucky she might even place 2 on the same turn. You want to kill these because she will use the attack gained by them to more quickly and easily go through you taunts, thus lowering you taunts potential and killing you that much faster.
6. Keep bashing them both in the face, and putting taunt after taunt up to maintain your health. They voluntarily trade into your minions so you don't have to control the board xD
7. Wrath can be use to either clear 1 minion off the board or to draw a card if you can kill a minion of with the 1 damage , but always try to get maximum value from it.
8. Swipe has to be use to clear minions ASAP, or if your taunt walls are healthy and your in a far ahead position to do 4 damage to them, as this is who kills who faster. In heroic mode you will be using this to clear minions as they get on the board, using it as 1 of your 2 "minion control" cards, while your taunts bash them in the face. Don't be stingy with them either. Using it to clear 1 minion with high damage and health will only serve to "extend" the life of your taunts which is exactly what you want. The longer your taunts stay up the more damage they can dish out, and soak up.
Alternative Deck
For an alternative version of this, that is a bit more expensive in dust, but works just as well, if not better check out My Budget Ramp Druid. It will be a more fleshed out version that also was able to beat them both.
I used similar deck for Anub but found Keeper of the Grove fairly useless against him. He have too many tanky stuff for 2 damage to often matter, 2/4 body is surprisingly bad against his minions, and most Deathrattles to silence are actually good for you when they go off. I used Azure Drakes instead, helps with draw, lets Wrath hit for 4, lets Swipe deal with Shades etc.
Amazing Deck Adurin,
2 tries on [card]Anub'Rekhan[/card] and only 1 try needed with Grand Widow Faerlina. Very straightforward deck. I was failing with my other custom decks knowing i needed more taunt. I even tried the druid with some taunt, but your deck really made it simple. Thanks for the suggestion and amazing deck for these heroics.
anub went down on first try and faerlina on the second try, thanks :)
Thank you for posting this deck! I had to make 3 changes to it as I didn't have those cards in my collection but it worked great! ... Took a few tries to beat Anub'Rekhan but I beat Faerlina on the second try!
Great deck, worked out very well for 1 shotting the 2 listed Heroics.
Took a little getting used to for me, but once I figured out the speed of the deck everything seemed to go smoothly.
So does f2p just mean no legendaries now?
My definition of F2P is very low costs in "Dust" for decks that are still viable and good for what you want them to do. With 920 Dust cost, this is very manageable to do and as r2g24 said on comment #18 he swapped around some cards he didn't have and still succeeded.
To my knowledge:
F2P decks are 100 - 1.5k crafting dust required.
Budget decks are 1.6k - 2.8kish crafting dust required.
Everything more expensive than that can't be classified as either. Of course I could be wrong and this is just my opinion of how I see decks.
But yeah No Legendaries usually mean F2P seeing as just making one is already 1.4k, and more than one 2.8k+ and that just means its neither f2p or budget because usually it takes a lot of time to gather that dust up for whatever reasons as a player who doesn't waste "cash" on the game.
Beat them both on first run with this deck. Good work & Thanks for sharing!
took me a couple tries on both wings but eventually got it. Thanks a lot
My attempt with this deck beating Anub'Rekhan, ty for the deck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QazUa8i4spE&feature=youtu.be
And now beating Grand Widow Faerlina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eHagQsmYDA&feature=youtu.be
Took a few tries against heroic Anub'Rekhan but got the job done, Thank you
Ty I start .. for te last boss I win.. The second boss I win.. but the firts omg.. Ty <3
Awesome. Worked for me on my 9th (?) try, but I played on after every terrible mulligan. Thanks for the great deck!
You're welcome! I had my budget version that I linked as an alternative. But I was able to do it with this deck as well, only this deck made it a bit tougher and a more tries. But hey as long as it works, no matter how many tries its all good. xD
Thanks, was struggling with Heroic Grand Widow Faerlina, but got it on my first try quite easily with this. I just conceded instantly when I didn't get Wild Growth and Keeper in my starting hand, but when I did, I beat her. +1 from me :)
Edit: I subbed one of the Ironbark Protectors with Cenarius, because I happened to have him. I can recommend this for others trying this deck!
Thanks. Glad to be of help! xD
