Those attack values made me giggle. Im really looking forward to this fight ^.^
Heroic with the Noxious Priest worked at my first attempt, just summon at least 2 minions then use something(effect or magic) to slay the spore, once you do that you will have 3 minions 11/2, 11/1, 11/1(or 13/3), kill the ugly guy with taunt and try a direct hit. He will eventually destroy all of your minions but you are like a zoo, just keep spamming minions and using effects or magics to keep killing the spores. After a few turns your opponent will be out of cards and you will be able to maintain your heal with minions abilities and your hero power.
From what I hear, Alexstrasza is unusable during this fight. KT will kill her before her effect triggers.
The boss has 75 health, it is unlikely that zoo will be the best way to win, what do you think will be the best way to defeat the boss? - don't forget about fatigue damage.
Maybe a priest or pally gain life deck (due to his kinda broken ability) that's packing Alexstrasza for a quick win after you lay her down.
I totally forgot about Alexstasza, that would make it really do-able. If you didn't have Alexstasza (like me) and you only own one Legendary such as King Murcla. Would priest or pally be the only way?
Without knowing what Loatheb's actual cards are going to be, I can't say for sure.
It appears they're going to mimic the fight like it was presented in World of Warcraft. In the raid, like here in Hearthstone, he had a TON of health. This was offset by killing spores which people would gather on. Upon their deaths, players would gain a buff to output more damage. Likewise, he would put out a healing debuff that lowered healing outputs by a large margin. It's possible these mechanics will be present in the card fight as well.
Alexstrasza was just a card that popped in my head seeing such a large health pool, but she probably isn't going to be a requirement. Again, his card pool will determine how to best take him down.

With those spores, it seems that Zoo with Creepers, Golems and Eggs will be possible.
