Boss Overview
Vaelastrasz the Corrupt is the second boss in the Blackwing Lair wing of the Blackrock Mountain adventure.
Heroic Difficulty Strategy
If you're playing on normal difficulty, the same strategy can be applied, it's just an easier fight!
- Vaelastrasz will force you and himself to draw three cards every turn.
- This means you will have drawn your entire deck by his seventh turn, and dead on his ninth turn unless you have more than 24 health.
- Refer to the table below for fatigue damage.
- He has a couple of Gang Up in his deck which will give him more turns before he runs out of cards, and can be problematic when he casts it on Clockwork Giant.
- You should play a deck which can mill him back while keeping the cards he plays under control.

SPEED DRIUD: Vaelastrasz HEROIC - with Jade & Giant - easy WIN!
1 try- ez win, deck is still good with nerfed innervate.
I used this deck and it worked pretty well, Jade Idol will help with never going into fatigue
[card]Fandral Staghelm[/card] + Jade Idol combo will help with board presence & fatigue
Just logged in to remind everyone of Violet Illusionist being added in Karazhan. May not help against his hero power, but prevents a good chunk of damage on your turn! This and Prince Malchezaar made this one pretty easy for me!
Easy win with a murloc Druid + Astral Communion. Just mulligan for it and Innervate, then proceed to vomit your hand every turn and finish him off with Savage Roar.
for anyone struggling with this boss and lacking quite a lot of dust, here's a cheap OTK warrior deck!
Optimized Version of the Deck above
Won on my first try
Easy win first try using standard mill rogue with Brann Bronzebeard
For the Agro Mill Druid I would recommend replacing the Wild Growth (x2) with Claw (x2). The Wild Growth is often too slow and Claw gives you some extra armor that might save you in the end.
I completed Vael on the first try using the "Garbage Hunter" deck with only having to make a couple of replacements.
I tried a dozen times the druid one, not a single win, I made my own version, won on first try, hope this helps some people.
Just wanted to confirm what CharlyDNL posted. After many tries with the "proven" deck, I switched to this one and breezed through the level!
Preferred this to the suggested one in the guide.
Similar case here. I tried the Aggro Mill Druid deck posted on the main page a few times and got crushed. Tried this budget deck a couple times and won. I'm sure RNG was partly responsible, but I gotta give props to this deck because it worked for me! :-)
Thanks! I Won it at 1st try :D
