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
OMG Even when I drew Gurubashi + the buffs the guy pulls off Echoing Ooze + double Mutating Injection going for 18th try and I'm still not drawing them.
Thanks for this deck. I actually stopped lurking and joined the site to thank you. Grobbulus has been the most difficult boss for me to beat yet and this deck made it possible. Took a few tries, but eventually I got through thanks to a 13-3 Berzerker.
UGHHH this boss, I HATE THIS BOSS. Heroic Globbulus is without a doubt the most agonizing of any Naxx thus far. I even 1-shot* Thaddius with a deck I made myself. H Globbulus makes H Thaddius look like a teddy bear. By the way Alexstrasza is terrible and slow in this deck, I would not recommend her at all.
I want to have your manbabies for posting this deck. Thank you ever loving christ in a shitbasket. After six excruciating hours of being screwed by RNG by trying a lot of the other 'lucky god hand' deck strats people recommended (freeze mage, combo priest, etc.), I was able to 1-shot him with this deck. I lost at least a couple dozen times before. Those decks were all heavily reliant on RNG, this druid deck does NOT work that way. I even had both my Gurubashi berserkers die early (the card many people here state as the primary win condition if you fatten it up enough) and I still stabilized the board and won with a buffed Ironbark and two sludge belchers just trucking his face. Probably the only lucky part of the game was me being able to get both Starfalls before turn 8 to wipe his board reset for good.
I screamed, I danced, I emote spammed a computer, but holy dancing jesus donkeys it felt good. FUCK YOU GLOBBULUS
*1-shot him after realizing he drops Feugen and Stalagg on turn 1 and then conceded to work around it.
one shotted with an even cheaper version of this. Thanks! :)

First try! Thanks!
Genius deck, one-shot Heroic Grobbulus. Gurubashi Berserker + Mark of the Wild + Mark of Nature + 2 Earthern Farseers = 31 Dmg berserker that killed him in 2 turns. Thanks for sharing!
I made a video using this deck to add to my ongoing series of Hearthstone videos on YouTube. I had a lot of fun using this deck as I was previously using a Priest deck I'd found which was pretty terrible! I hope you enjoy the video!
Trash deck. After like 30 attempts no win. I am getting close to win but he uses double mutation on minion and kills my minions. Even after "perfect hand" i still can't win...
I'm sorry for your failiure and frustration caused by my deck, I felt the same way using the popular frezee mage deck for grobbulus, even with The Perfect Hand I couldn't win after 26 tries exactly. It seems this is not the deck for you as the other deck was not for me. I hope you kill Hc Grobbulus soon.
I am sorry for your poor luck as well mate. It will turn around, always does :D Take a teeny tiny break then come back at it. There are WAY too many people on this thread (myself included) that killed him first try with it! Keep on keeping on!
Could not get this deck to work until I took out a sludge and starfall and added two molten giants.
yeah sometimes rngeesus doesn't want you to win, no matter what deck you use :/ That was the case for me before I made this deck, it took me like 8 hours of gameplay to beat the 4 hc bosses of this week
I couldn't win even with the freeze mage decks everyone was using, kept losing on turn 8 if I drew into alex before turn 9 and I never saw alex if I didn't see her before turn 9 and lost because of that.
worked first try.... use this deck and not any of the other ones that rely on heavy heavy RNG on both sides.
works pretty fine for me, ty
great deck, managed on the 5th try!
had to make some slight changes, -2ironbark +2voodoo, i felt like i would die by the time ironbark was out, voodoo helped my gurubashi stay alive and have 31atk and end it on the next 2 turns.
Beat it first try, thx for the deck
After MANY failed attempts with other decks, This one nailed it in 2 attempts. Very close to a 3rd but was able to pull it off.
Nicely done!
Took 3 tries - almost worked on the first two. Great deck.
<3 <3 <3. Thank you. I rode a taunted Gurubashi to victory.
tried so many priest decks, even a rogue. this deck worked for me. Gurubashi FTW
