Basically try to kill or freeze every creature before they can hit you. Sapphiron has 2x Pure Cold and 2x Frostbolt = 22 damage from spells alone. He also has two azure drakes and you can expect him to combo those with his spells for a few extra points of damage. This doesn't leave a lot of margin for error. To help us out we need him to trigger our Ice Barriers, if coupled with Vaporize we can even trigger it without taking damage.
Mulligan for cards that have a cost of 2 or less.
Don't use minions or spells to hit his face (and only use your hero power on his face if you don't have anything better to do with the mana). The main damage dealer for this fight is fatigue damage. When Sapphiron has drawn all his cards and used up all cards he intends to use (he usually saves two Blizzards), then you can unleash whatever damage spells/mininons you have left on his face.
Sapphiron's Deck List (and ideal counter for each card):
1x Coin
3x Mana Wyrm (Countered by: Frostbolt)
2x Frostbolt (Countered by: Ice Barrier)
3x Loot Hoarder (Countered by: Fireblast)
3x Faerie Dragon (Countered by: Breath of Sindragosa or Explosive Sheep)
2x Dancing Swords (Countered by: Steel Rager)
3x Shade of Naxxramas (Countered by: Volcanic Potion or Flamecannon)
2x Skeletal Smith (Countered by: Forgotten Torch)
3x Necroknight (Countered by: Fireball)
3x Spectral Knight (Countered by: Vaporize)
2x Azure Drake (Countered by: Wolfrider+Fireblast)
2x Pure Cold (Countered by: Antique Healbot)
2x Blizzard (Never used)
Other useful plays:
If Necroknight is the leftmost minion on the board, consider freezing it and killing it next turn to get more value out of its deathrattle (Sapphiron always plays new minions to the far left).
Other cards that would work well in this deck:
worked great, I'd actually suggest to swap out the flamestrikes with 2x arcane intellects
Thanks, worked like a charm! First try!
Great deck! Also, Sapphiron is a female lol :)
I'm no expert on lore, but it says Sapphiron is male both on WowWiki and Wowpedia.
Worked second try, great deck
Worked first try!
This is the first comment I've ever written. This worked the first time.
I didn't have volcanic potion so I subbed 1 Dragon's Fury and 1 Flame Ward.
Changed a couple of cards and still won on 2nd try. Thanks for the deck!
Wow this deck is amazing.
Everything is there to play in the right place and in the right time against Sapphion's minions and spells.
Lolol. Flawless victory.
That's what I'm talking about! First try! :)))
Thank you!!!
First try won! THANKS!
First try easily!
Just kill every minion using the counter guide in the description, save excess spells and ping enemy hero with Fireblast when able. Sapph will run out of minions and you'll be able to easily kill her with leftover spells.
Wow first try, thank you!!
first try, good deck
Got it first try with this deck thanks
Thank you. Great! Second try!
Won on my first try, so thx for the list!
First Try = WIN
THNX!!!!
Worked at first try. Thanks.
