Took a tweak or two, and I did it in one try. Mulligan hard for the heals/armor and removal spells, and play spreading plague and malfurion on big boards to sustain, and you should be able to win, bar a poison seed or two.
Tried many decks but made on first attemp with this Priest deck
Worked for me as well from the first or second try!
First try, baybee!
When I played this loatheb didn't use his hero power at all, anybody else have that bug?
Just so you guys know Power Word: Glory on a small minion he will ignore is really easy win
Try my deck if you need an easy win and struggle with this boss.
The guides listed are outdated or cater to F2P which need the perfect hand to win. This deck requires base set as well as Naxx, GvG, and LoE. This deck doesn't require to have the perfect hand, it may take you a few tries to win, but can recover if you make a few mistakes.
The new heals like Flash Heal, Light of the Naaru, Antique Healbot help immensely. Excavated Evil is like another Holy Nova which can give you some breathing room to stabilize.
You may want to consider removing one Excavated Evil for more heal like Earthen Ring Farseer, but I was fine using both cards.
The objective is to heal and board clear to buy you time to get Lightwell buffs and/or Prophet Velen. You can risk it if you want if you have Velen in your starting hand, but I'd rather have smaller casting cards such as heal and Shieldbearer so you don't get overwhelmed.
Thanks man. I was 8 cards shy of making your actual deck but it only took me three tries with my substitutions.
I've tried the Noxious Priest deck, and honestly it doesn't seem to work. Played 5 games in a row, and I can't get a win. Can someone post a low budget deck for Loatheb Heroic please?
What I saw that worked was that you have to start off with your early drops. Elven Archer, Northshire Cleric and Stonetusk Boar. Play your Clerics and your Boars, then pop the first seed to take care of the taunt. Heal and trade, but try to go full face. Play around the AoE spell that does 1 damage, but otherwise use the archers/riflemans to pop the seeds and go face. It's tough, but it should work.

Hi everyone, this is the budget deck I created and used to defeat Loatheb! Rate and comment please!
This deck worked great for me. I didn't have 2 lightwells or injured blademasters but it worked ok anyway. Crazed alchemist would also be really good to turn a high damage minion into a tank, then use a Sunfury Protector, or defender of argus to get a beefy taunt.
Ideal starting hand would include Sunwell and Elven Archer..
Mogu'shan warrior is also a good choice.
The deck concept that I used on Heroic Loatheb:
And no Corruption?
You mad brah?
Did anyone noticed yet that if you don't remove any of the spore Lotheb will not play Poison Seeds?
Trolled! :)
