Thanks to Hearthdude.

Use the power of Stoneskin Gargoyle to take down Grobbulus easy.

The plan is fairly simple,survive with your priest abilitys for as long as possible, buff your Stoneskin Gargoyle with Divine Spirit , Temple Enforcer ,add Inner Fire and taunt it up with Sunfury Protector.(you don´t need to buff him with all health buffs)

The Gargoyle will regenerate to full health at the start of every turn, no matter how much health it has,so you don´t have to heal him up once your settled and can use your hero ability to heal your hero form Grobbulus hero ability.

Grobbulus AI doesn´t understand the the cardtext of Stoneskin Gargoyle so he will trade everything into it, once it is taunted, regardless if his minions die or if Stoneskin Gargoyle will. That means that as soon as your Gargoyle is ready Grobbulus will destroy his whole board against our Gargoyle

Note:Acolyte of Pain and Northshire Cleric both draw you a lot of cards, and the AI will also try to kill them asap, The Gargoyle on the other hand is ignored as long as you don´t taunt him up, so feel free to play him anytime you have some mana left.Just make sure you don´t want to use Auchenai Soulpriest, and Circle of Healing next turn to clear the board. Edit: Grobbulus uses his Slam as soon as you have a minion on the board, so he can kill the Gargoyle.His AI doesn´t see the Gargoyle as a Threat so he won´t attack it with any minions, and it will be the last minion he Slams if you have multiple minions this means a Gargoyle with atleast 1 Power Word: Shield should be safe.

Be carefull if you clear the board with Auchenai Soulpriest since she will die to Grobbulus ability and summon a Slime. You can prevent this by giving her Power Word: Shield.

Mass Dispel serves as a counter to Grobbulus Echoing Ooze Mutating Injection buff tactic.He will buff his minions before turn 4 as well. Use Silence and Shadow Word: Deathto take care of these minions.

Shadow Madness can also slow him down, especially since it works on Sludge Belcher. Just be carefull since the his spawn will die to Grobbulus hero ability and summon a slime.Also be sure to use it on his Loot Horder and Lepre Gnome to use their death rattles to your advantage.

I won with this deck on my second try(cause he used 2 injections and 2 heroic strikes in the same turn) but you may have to try more often(like in every heroic) since you don´t always get the Stoneskin Gargoyle buffed in time.

Have fun and good luck to you, fellow Interlopers.
