Boss Overview

Nightbane is the second boss in The Menagerie wing of the One Night in Karazhan adventure.

Pro Tips and Strategy

Like on normal you will start off with 10 mana which allows you to drop huge minions onto the field or setup nice early-game combos.
Card draw is fairly key here. You want to be able to get at as much of your deck as possible so you don't exhaust that hand.
Faceless Manipulator can help keep your board heavy with those huge minions.
Use spells to control the board rather than your minions, unless you can make multiple trades out of a single minion.
Miracle Rogue is super effective on a budget. You can cycle through tons of cards and get out a solid board before Nightbane can think. This is our current favourite deck.
Whatever you do, don't let his Chromaggus live.

I can't stop shaking my head when I see these fancy decks. Nightbane is the easiest boss to beat with some kind of token Druid strategy + Jeeves.

Just mulligan for Jeeves, dump your hand. Refuel. Use cards like Addled Grizzly, Power of the Wild and Soul of the Forest to boost your minions. Easy win.

Confessor Paletress is absolutely insane in ths fight.

However, I won thanks to Sylvanas Windrunner who I Mind Controlled, and then she got killed by opponent's Deathwing... Whom she stole.

0/10 with this miracle rogue, if you dont draw malygos, barnes and the auctioneer right at the start, you can already concede...furthermore there is no answer to Deathwing and there are way to many heavy creatures to remove, while you are waiting for the correct draws :(

Super easy on heroic. I just played my token druid fandral deck. It's easy to combo with fandral b/c you have ten mana, and then you just cycle through your deck with Nourishes and stomp everything with chose two cards.

Yeah! Token Druid is deadly in this challenge. You don't even need Fandral because Jeeves steals the show. Just dump your hand and refuel with Jeeves.
