BlindMurloc posted a message on The Lich King Boss Guide - The Frozen ThronePosted in: Frozen Throne AdventureI've managed to beat the Lich King with Mecha'thun builds for these classes so far ( Ranked from easiest to hardest ): Druid, Rogue, Warrior, Paladin , Warlock, Priest, Shaman, Hunter, MAGE.
Still didn't beat him with Mage, Hunter, Paladin yet.If any of you got some Mecha'tun builds for those or some other budget ones i'd gladly try them.I highly recommend a Mecha'thun build wit 2x Doomsayer and a Kobold Stickyfinger , you can put in 2 of these as well. All you basically do ( Except for druid ) Put these cards in and lots of spells for healing and board clear and taunts depending on the cards you have, it can be basic cards too, your whole objective is to survive till he pulls out frostmorne then you play Kobold Stickyfinger and steal his weapon, after that you have to clear the enemy minions after you do that the boss becoms bugged and he wont play any cards until the rest of the game he just keeps drawing but you can't kill him with minions, from this point all you want is to proc Mecha'thun in any way possible.
What I do mostly is try to hard mulligan for Kobold Stickyfinger until I have him in my starting hand ( you dont have to do this but you do need to pull him out before the lich king plays frostmourne ) and after that just try to survive with much health as possible, after he plays frostmourne you're going to take 5 damage to the face and he will end his turn, after that I usually play Kobold Stickyfinger and 1 Doomsayer so that my next turn all his minions die. Be careful because they will hit you in your face for 14 damage, since there is 7 of them and they die on your next turn, It helps if you have taunts set up for this phase since you need ~20 health to survive. Depending on your class you don't have to take all this damage, for example in my shaman playtrough I managed to kill all of them with Earthquake .
It is essential that you keep at least 1 Doomsayer and Mecha'thun in your hand so you can finish the game after you draw your deck and empty your hand. Depending on the class and the challange I found it helpful to sometimes put less minions and more spells into the deck since it's hard to get rid of all your minions sometimes, since if you dont have enough health after he pulls frostmorne you wont be able to survive AND get rid of your deck. So it helps to have 2 doomsayers so you can kill some of your minions too if needed, and of course some board removal for your own minions too.
For druid and rogue this is quite easy since the lich king for druid destroys all his cards that cost less than 3 and you don't play the combo i mentioned above for him, there are youtube videos of how you do it with just 5-6 cards and i'd suggest looking into it since it's quite easy.
For Rogue the tactic above applies but you put just enough minions into your deck so you survive can survive till he pulls out frostmourne and to tank some of the minions that spawn. For the rest of the deck you just want to put random spells in it so he can destroy them on turn 2, this makes it significantly faster and easier to do since you dont have to kill as much of your own minions and don't have to play random spells all the time.
If I find any working tactic for Paladin, Hunter and Mage i'll be sure to add them in a edit or in a comment in this post :). Big shoutout to the user rwgrier ( https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1328963-lich-king-shaman-mechathun-deck ) here is one of his decks I found. I saw his idea from the decks he posted and applied them to some other classes ( Except druid ) and it worked like a charm for me. I beat him with 6 classes so far within 1 day of playing. I wish everyone else luck trying to beat this advanture :)
Edit 1 : I forgot to put in the dust cost for this, since it's not really a budget build. You need 1x Legendary so that's 1600 dust, you can get away with 1 Kobold Stickyfinger and 1 Doomsayer but I'd recommend having at least 2x Doomsayer and 1 Kobold Stickyfinger since you don't really need 2 so that sums it up to 3x Epics which is 1200 dust, in total 2800 dust for these cards, but keep in mind you'll be able to beat him with most of the classes if not all ( I havent tried the paladin, mage, hunter yet ). So in my opinion it's a pretty cheap way go get Arthas if you really want him. This "combo" requires far less RNG than most of them and I was able to kill him with most classes within a few tries, It works 80% of the time if you have the Kobold Stickyfinger before turn 7 , and if you have some way to tank the damage of his minions or to destroy them which you mostly do thanks to the 2nd Doomsayer .
Edit 2: I've managed to defeat him with Paladin and Hunter, only Mage left wish me luck :). Paladin was pretty simple and I've done it on my first run, just keep in mind any Doomsayer you play will be ressurected for him too so basically double doomsayer and gives 0 minions from that, this gives you an extra opportunity to kill some more of your stuff if you need to, but keep in mind that extra stuff WILL be ressurected for him.
For hunter it was a bit trickier you have to use a lot of spells, I went for a random deck with much damage spells and I've added 1 more card that I think is essential if you don't have a doomsayer, it makes it possible to even win without any doomsayer's. Goblin Prank is basically a detonate button for your Mecha'thun. But it's not necessary you can still pull it off even with 1 doomsayer it will just take you wayyy longer and it will be harder since you actually need 1 to clear the board from the enemy minions after he spawns frostmourne because you wont have the minions or the damage to deal with him when he does that.
Ideal you'd want to start off the game with 18 health at least and have some lifesteal. It's important to not fall below 18 HP. Since when he enters phase 2 and spawns the 6 minions and frostmourne he will hit you in your face for 5 if you don't have any taunt minions to block it. The combo is Kobold Stickyfinger into Doomsayer, In an ideal situation you want to kill at least 3 of his minions or have a taunt that will block 3 attacks from them since they will go full aggro on Doomsayer if he's not protected. After you clear the board it's pretty much game, you just draw your cards, kill your minions, pop Mecha'thun and win. I'd recommend not to put any spells in like Unleash the Hounds or any other spell that REQUIRES an enemy minion to be on the board, I've failed this many times because I've made that error, and be sure to put in at max 1 secret since you can't have 2 of the same ones up. Lost countless number of times due to these errors which could have been avoided.
My final edit & update: I finally did it, just got Arthas a few minutes ago. I've grinded ~2 days for him playing about 4-5 hours each day. Last Hero I did was mage and honestly I've tried the Mecha'thun build but it just didn't work he always had a bit more damage than I could handle, so I opted for the Kabal Lackey + Mana Bind + Platebreaker .
I was suprised how quick I acctually got him down, was within 30 minutes of playing this deck. All you do is try to get the Kabal Lackey + Mana Bind so you can get the lich king down to 1 HP, and then try to pull Platebreaker before he pulls his sword out. After you get the Platebreaker all you do is try to do 1 damage to him, I personally used my hero power since I played him on T7 when i had 7 mana + 2 mana for the fireball to do 1 damage ( Not gonna lie was so satisfying to see him die for the last time in such a sad way ).
This tactic is heavily reliant on RNG and honestly I got really lucky so I can't really recommend this since I don't know how well it works, worked pretty good for me but so did other decks for other people. I had no luck with those.
Anyway thank you if you made it this far into the reading. I decided to write down my journey to maybe inspire some of you to not give up. Probably such a long text wall is not wanted in the comment section but I did this to keep me sane during the journey, if I did it , you can too :) and perhaps this can help someone.
My last tip for anyone which works 110% of the time: Play Indestructible from Disturbed, you'll need the motivation boost after you mulligan the wrong cards for the 50th time or when the lich king pulls out mega RNG bulls**t on you for the 10th time after you finally managed to get some good cards.
TL; DR = Play Kobold Stickyfinger when he pulls out his shiny sword, kill his minions, pop Mecha'thun in any way you like ( Works pretty much with all classes except for mage, good luck with that ).

Nope. Just makes you lose longer. -

Best Deck Title for how it feels trying to beat this boss with a mage :). Time to give it a shot!

Took a few tries, but worked well! Thanks for the deck!

Huzzah! Took quite a few tries due to bad luck draws but once I got the right cards it worked perfectly! Thanks for the deck!

Huzzah! Took me a few tries to get the hang of it (I rarely use mill decks) but once I figured out the best way to use it then it worked great! Thanks for putting this deck together!

Withstood the test of time and go it on one shot. Great deck!

FINALLY beat the boss thanks to this deck. I subbed Voidlord for Primordial Drake and Bloodreaver Gul'dan for Sunwalker. Got it on first try.

Love the South Park reference, looking forward to giving this deck a try!

Easy win in 2 tries, good deck.

I had everything except Patches the Pirate. Had some trouble for a few rounds til I subbed Hobart Grapplehammer, then got it in one shot. Decent deck, I don't usually play warrior/weapons so that could have been part of the problem.

Good idea, thanks!
