Folks over at InputDelay have made a detailed video guide for this deck if you're not too keen on reading all the text below. The link is at the bottom.
Why I made this deck:
I tried so many alex decks for this boss none of them did the trick for me. I decided to not play other people's decks and make my own and got him down on the first try. It's probably the rng karma that made me lose 26 times with other decks from bad rng that this deck was succesful on the first try with great rng. But I eventually decided if it helped me maybe other people might find it helpful as well so I decided to share the deck.
Deck explanation:
At first I put alex as a backup plan but then I removed her, so it's not really vital to this deck thus YOU DON'T NEED ALEXSTRASZA to make this work, if you were unlucky enough to not get her.
Your perfect starting hand is 2 wild growths and an innervate but something close along the lines would be nice as your minions are all costly. But if you by chance get gurubashi don't mulligan him.
What you need is a gurubashi berserker, ancient of war or ironbark protector as early as possible then use mark of nature with +4 health and taunt along with mark of the wild on one or more of them with healing touches to keep them alive long enough to finish grobbulus without alex.
The way this works is as long as you keep their health high enough grobbulus will only dmg you with his hero power as he will constanty sacrifice his minions to your taunter and those who might kill it will be removed by your spells. So try your best to save your heals for your big taunter(s) and don't use them on yourself unless you really need to.
Gurubashi berserker is the best and fastest way to win because after giving him taunt, grobbulus will keep sacrificing small minions on it to make it even bigger as well as his hero power which will keep buffing it. As long as you keep healing it and buffing it's health you can win before turn 8 as seen below. But if you didn't draw gurubashi it is also possible to win with ancient of war and ironbark protector as well, I have tried and won with just them too.
I hope this deck helps you as much as it helped me. you can take out some removals of your choice and add something you think you need; perhaps deathlords, stoneskin gargolyles, maexxna or voodoo doctor. Sludge belcher is not vital although on occasion it has delayed the game long enough for me to put down one of the vital minions (gurubashi, ancient and protector).
Tried the deck several more times won 7 times as of now. Here's a screenshot of one of the wins and also good semaritans Kizaru1(Atilla Akin), Eugene Yan, Matt_Sparks(MattSparks3.0) and Gnome and Mage have made a video defeating Hc Grobbulus with my deck, be sure to check them out :D
Grim Patron working great!
This deck helped, take +1)
took a few tries, managed to get my berserker up to ~35 atk, hit him once and then he killed it. I swapped a few cards in, one of which was ancient of lore (used it to heal my gurabashi), but the main theme stayed the same. I ended up giving it +10 health overall (both mark of natures and 1 mark of the wild) it only took grob two turns to kill it, but the theme worked, it just requires a near perfect draw and at least one innervate early.
3rd try. 17/1 Gurubashi did it.
Thanks for the deck! We used it in our video guide, check it out! Hope it helps. :)
Edit: The name on the vid image is wrong, but it's the right video! Had a little mishap during the upload
It took a few tries but in the end I managed to defeat him. Thanks for the deck!
Trade out Starfallor Sludge Belcher for Crazed Alchemist. This way you can save Gurubashi at the cost of his attackpower.
Finally won after 4-5 tries.
Not the best at druid so that mainly could be my fault, just just bad RNG.
Good deck tho, I enjoyed it!
First try win, thanks for the deck!
This did the trick on the first try, thanks!
Thanks!
Great deck. Won with it first try! Make sure you mulligan for acceleration and beserker. If you can get him out early, you can snowball.
This deck doesn't "work". It just gets lucky sometimes like any other deck might. Poor deck for this fight.
13 tries. I just kept dumping all heals into grub by the time I was done he was a 35/9 lol up vote
Not only did I had the perfect set up but I kept healing grub and he got to power 16 but still get killed and I used the card that let's them draw two for killing their minion I killed a dancing sword. I don't know how this boss was beaten with this deck
This deck relies on perfect draws cause if you try to get everything out (a taunted grub) he's already set up at least a 5/6 if not a 9/10 slime . Sometimes two of them. I've tried three times. If by my tenth try I don't beat him I'm down voting this deck
0-20, very rng dependent, no gurubashi in time=loss. I've only seen the card once in all 20 tries... I actually went back and made sure it was in my deck! The only time I got it I had 4 health left. Guess I'll keep trying
------------
Update: 1-27 :)
Finally got the cards I needed... but holy hell that took a long time!
Awesome, oneshotted him. Had one health left though hehe..
Are you kidding me? Worked on my first try.
Turn 1, pass. Turn 2, Wild Growth. Turn 3, hero power. Turn 4, Gurubashi. Turn 5, Mark of the Wild. Turn 6, Farseer. Turn 7, Healing Touch. Turn 8, profit!
I had this exact hand, guru was dead by turn 8 from minions/slam/grobb +4 attack. I was dead by turn 10
