He starts with Jungle Giants and spends only like 1-3 turns prepping with Wild Growth and One with the Trees. He spams nothing but heavy drops so he triggers Barnabus the Stomper super early.
How in the world are you supposed to beat this? Where is there ANY counterplay? You can't slow down his Jungle Giants progress and no one can clear the field of 3+ 8/8's that frequently.
Having Craggtor pop up as the next boss might as well just auto-reset your run... It's so super fun.
Literally the only way I've beaten him is to rush him down super fast before he gets any traction. If you get a terrible opening hand it's pretty much gg. Very frustrating boss if you're building for late game.
I beat him with a quest toki build and double spells so I got to take 3 turns in a row once I got the quest finished. It worked pretty well and I won that run
Otherwise I've never beaten him and I agree, he's OP as crap
There's a good video of Hafu beating him with control as well. With Tess I believe. He misplays if you keep his minion count down and yours up, he trades where he should go face. She was able to stave him off with deadly shot's and 5 cost killer plants.
I think Craggtor is very much like AFKay from Dungeon Run. You just rush to the face before the board is filled with super unfair huge minions. The only notable change is that Craggotr also runs ancients of war and usually pulls off the board fill earlier, but more slowly
I know how you feel, my last 10 or so runs he has been my 6th or 7th boss. I haven't even gotten to Tess' final boss because I've matched against him every run and when I have lethal he always plays a huge taunt or the draw 2 gain 8 armor card. Cult of the wolf, sticky fingers with 2 sinister strikes every turn couldn't beat him, secrets build couldn't beat him, burgaler build couldn't beat him, midrange with vilespine slayers and BGH couldn't beat him. I'm out of ideas.
Literally got all my largest minions in my starting hand, I was wrecked before I even got a chance, I hate this boss, I was on a roll, but it's like the game knew and decided to give me the slowest start, smh.

One with the Trees
He starts with Jungle Giants and spends only like 1-3 turns prepping with Wild Growth and One with the Trees. He spams nothing but heavy drops so he triggers Barnabus the Stomper super early.
Then it's an endless stream of 0 cost Molten Giant, Arcane Giant, Clockwork Giant, Mountain Giant, Ironbark Protector, Ancient of War, and Giant Anaconda.
Clear the field once he overextends and empties his hand? Nourish, Witchwood's Touch, Ancient of Lore.

Hit rank 15 with a homebrew back in the KOFT days.
Yaayyy...
There's all my notable achievements.
I barely remember the boss. Never lost to it. Must be about the builds we used.

I beat him with houndmaster shaw and 5/1 rush doggies and that 3 deathrattle bulldog.

BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF DEATH
He is the super greedy boss to outgreed all greedy players. If your deck is more aggressive he's not that hard to defeat imo.
He is also the dumbest boss you'll meet, he will miss lethal at times to play Poison Seeds. You should never give up prematurely.

Endless stream of 0 cost giants? Sounds like wild!
