Hearthpwn

I normally see Nat Pagle accidentally enters the game due to unstable portal. I just leave him alone because he can't really do much.

You smell lika leper gnome!
~Evil Heckler

Nefarian, he says his summoning quote according to whatever class you are playing.

Your Blood Fury belongs to the museum! It really makes me wonder, how does Harrison Jones extract those fangs and claws.

And then one day... Evil Heckler goes to Neptulon and says, "Yo momma was a Murloc!"

I am thinking Dr.Boom

Yea, can't wait to see the Maddest Bomber. A 8 mana 7/6 legendary that throws 9 bombs randomly. You know.. just really for the fun of it.

I think 6 attack is still a threat on turn 6. But I won't go as far as using hard removal for it.

The card seems good but I hardly see it in action in constructed. Perhaps the problem this card is facing is due to the fact that people are running face deck and patron warrior.

Solution is still solution nonetheless. No where in my write-up says it's good. But I would dismiss the message saying that it does not work at all. Cause luck or not, it still work. It isn't like I provided a deck that have absolute no chance of winning at all did I?

At least this deck can deal with Sapphiron before the release of GvG. The winning condition back then is having enough board clear value. I would rather get a 2nd Blizzard rather than a 2nd Vaporize actually. Too bad I have to make do with it. I don't think you will understand the pain of trying to kill this without GvG expansion. I guess the way you deal with heroic boss is, "Well, hopefully Blizzard release cards to allow us to have a easier time to deal with boss". So in other work, your 80% solution may not exist if Blizzard don't release certain cards.

On the other hand, just recently I found a deck that uses mostly F2P card and using duplicate + Feugen and Stalagg seems to be the actual solution for using no GvG cards at all. TBH, I really didn't thought of going all out damage using Feugen and Stalagg combo.

And judging by how Tavern Brawl only gives vanilla cards once a week and they changed the reward system in the arena to randomly pick from all 3 pack, getting a rare vanilla card is just slightly lower than getting a common card you actually want. So if you are not spending too much gold to run Arenas and only been doing Tavern Brawl per week. You will probably get vaporize faster than you can get healbot. Note that I only recently got most of my GvG cards after the release of TGT. I stopped playing Hearthstone slightly before the release of GvG. Hence I have a lot more vanilla cards than the new cards.

Back to the "Waiting for more expansion for more solution" part. Looking at most of the cards released in TGT, it seems that there isn't much cards that can provide a solution to Sapphiron. That's the kind of luck you are relying on here. Which is not something I like to rely on.

Lastly, I don't want to craft cards just because it's a solution to the AI. I only craft cards when that card is the final few pieces missing to a deck.

If you think that healing is so important. Maybe you should take a look at Kripp's video and see how he did it after taking extra damage and having 2 of his flamestrike at the bottom of his deck. He isn't using GvG card and he is using a F2P account.

If you understand this deck so much. Maybe you could enlighten me what should you mulligan for? I mentioned only the perfect case scenario here but not the actual win condition. To me, the win condition is actually the ability to kill 12 creatures with that one blizzard and 2 flamestrike I have.

Secondly, do you know how boss AI works and how to exploit them? Perhaps you should be questioning your own skill before saying it base too much on luck. I have this deck out without antique healbot and a lot of cards because I don't have them and I don't wish to craft them just to kill an AI. I can actually tell you how the boss spend its card mana wise and how the boss attack with its board.

- They will prioritize on mana efficiency first. For example, if the boss have 5 mana, they will definitely use a 5-mana creature first. If that's not possible, they will spend a 3 mana-minion followed by a 2 mana minion. Boss will never play around secrets. In that case, you can play mirror entity on turn 5 and the chance of  getting a 4 attack minion is really high. Seeing how the boss normally just waste frostbolt on you when it ran out of option to play. If you have counterspell, the chance of sniping a pure cold beyond turn 5 having a clean board is extremely high after the 2 frostbolt is out. (talk about statistic.. pfft..)

- On how boss send minions to attack. If the spectral knight is the only knight that can attack on that turn, it will attack on that turn despite the fact that you play vaporize. If you are smart in learning how to freeze the enemy minion, it's quite easy to deal with spectral knight using vaporize.

Last point I want to say is, if you are so concern about not having enough fatique damage. Just simply swap out mad scientist so that Sapphiron will take 10 extra fatigue damage more than you.

I do agree that extra 48 health does seal the deal on that fight. However, I am posting a 'somewhat' solution in case you don't have those cards. For me, when I made my run, I have NO antique healbot at all and I win without it. Not everyone here pay to win in Hearthstone and not everyone here have an antique healbot. Even having one blizzard and a couple of vaporize is kinda pushing it. I only won him because of the addition to the 2nd vaporize.

End of the day, I am just disagreeing to your statement that says, "It don't work" because it does. Even if it's just 30% of the time that it work, it's still fine.

I would say the smart play is building this deck right from the start. If someone really have to wait for something like antique healbot to come out just to clear the heroic boss. I don't really consider that as an actual solution to this. You kept rambling about luck and what if antique healbot were never released at all? Are you going to dup Priestess of Elune instead?

This fight have been, I admit it, a very luck base battle. I am just sharing a possible solution. It's not a perfect one but it works. It didn't work for you after 1 try? Fine. If that's you statistic. It works for me in the 2nd try and that's why I posted it here.

On the final note. If you really want to compare solution. Do find something that is cheaper than my deck as well.

Works better with things like freeze mage or mage that hardly put down any minions. It normally create a situation where, people would not attack with a large minion for one turn and drop down a 2 drop at that turn to counter it. No use for aggro deck as most people trade board. A little bit of use against face hunter because you have lesser things to trade with and force them to drop charger.

This card works perfectly on PvE because those boss AI are quite stupid and they don't play around things like secrets.

You are not necessary be using a card to trade for another card. If you manage to kill off at least 3 minions with a single flamestrike or a fireball, you will have extra damage to deal with sapphiron. Do remember that you still have your hero power to deal damage each turns. If you add those up, you can outlast sapphiron. You have 21 cards to deal with sapphiron's 24 minions. 3 of the cards are board clear. It depends on how smart you play it. Like, when sapphiron drops a necroknight, it would be smart for you to freeze it then deal with more minions next turn. There are people who does it even without GvG cards. So you should be able to do the same as well.

So instead of those healbots, the actual key here is the board clear and delays like Cone of Cold, Frost Nova, Blizzard, and Flamestrike. I personally don't like arcane intellect because they does nothing in this fight other than making you fatigue faster. I would actually swap my Mad Scientist out for Cone of Cold if I have them.

His deck would still work even if he replaced all GvG cards with chargers and Duplicate with Vaporize.
