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.
took a few tries to get Stoneskin Gargoyle but won as soon as i did. +1!
Second try ! Thanks +1
Deck is no good 50+ tries never get gargoyles , when i do im nearly dead and he then kills gargoyles instantly without any buffs , Completed every heroic in Naxx except this prick up to 6 + hrs at it tried every deck online getting smashed very annoying
Beat this on the first try, however be careful! Auchenai Soulpriest out when your turn starts will kill your gargoyles!
Oh my gosh thank you so much I beat him first try after literally hours trying to beat him with other decks when i beat him i was like histarically happy lol I even got to BM him down to -31 hp :P
You've gotta get a little bit lucky with the draws (same with any other heroic boss, really), but I got him on the 5th or 6th try. I had a 30/30 Gargoyle on about turn 11 or so that i put taunt on and just rolled over him.
All this is to say, +1. Good deck
Ummm not bad but why no Injured Blademasters i would think they'd be good in this deck and gives you more options then luck sacking your Stoneskin Gargoyles
After trying so far i added two Injured Blademasters, thinking bout taking out Auchenai Soulpriest they seem stacky and never useful I've yet to get the Auchenai Soulpriest and Circle of Healing combo off yet and I've tried 5+ times.
So I took out 1 Holy Smite and 1 Dark Cultist and added 2 Injured Blademasters. I also took out 2 Auchenai Soulpriests and added 2 Lightwells. It would seem the deck is still stacky and built based on luck but gives you more early games options and options to sustain yourself if you don't lucksack and draw your Stoneskin Gargoyle combo early.
After one try with the edited build I was able to win buffing my Lightwell to 20/20 with taunt but still was tough and I feel as if I got lucky with my draws and opening with a Northshire Cleric.
Worked for me :) thanks!
Took me 3 times, but this deck works. You do have to get a bit lucky with your draws, but thats not that surprising. Better than the freeze mage deck, I just gave up on that after a dozen or more tries.
It took me 3 or 4 tries, but I got him. You do need to get lucky with the card draw, but if you get all the buffs, and early wave clear, you can stabilize from there.
Some advice: Don't have your auchenai soulpriest out at the end of the turn expecting your stoneskin gargoyle to heal its self back up to full life.
NO!!! Tried this deck with at least 15+ games and over hour playing with ZERO success. Trust me I tried to make it work and it didn't, I'm guessing lots of luck happened when you won with this deck.
Yep. I buffed stoneskin to 8 health and he killed it immediately. Didn't exactly ignore it.
Ya he really "ignored" them Stoneskin Gargoy
