The Arachnid Quarter Heroic Boss Deck Guides

Need some help with the Arachnid Quarter on Heroic difficulty? We've compiled some decks to help you out! The decks used for Heroic difficulty can also help you on Normal with similar strategies. If you have an Alexstrasza, you can put her to some great use in Heroic Naxxramas.

Anub'Rekhan Heroic

View the Anub'Rekhan Boss Guide

The first boss of the Arachnid Quarter, Anub'Rekhan, is able to summon a 4/4 Nerubian for 2 mana which can quickly overwhelm you. Board clear and taunts are your best friend in this fight so that once you gain board control, you can trade against your opponent while keeping ahead. Check out a couple of Druid decks below which should be able to help you out in the fight against Anub, and if you're having issues, try out Poison Seeds!

Grand Widow Faerlina Heroic

View the Grand Widow Faerlina Boss Guide

The second boss of the Arachnid Quarter, Grand Widow Faerlina, fires her own version of Arcane Missiles which fires one missile per card in your hand. Taunts and a small hand will go a long way in this fight to keep her minions away from your face and her hero power dealing a minimal amount of damage.

Maexxna Heroic

View the Maexxna Boss Guide

Maexxna is the final boss in the Arachnid Quarter. Her hero power returns two random minions on your side of the field back to your hand. There is a "feature" of the Maexxna Heroic AI in which she will always cast her hero power first if you have minions on your side of the board. Loading up on spells and Wild Pyromancer, while only keeping two minions in play at a time, can help clear out her low cost minions with a Pyromancer/Spell combo! Make sure you mulligan for board clear!

That's not the only way of defeating Maexxna though, so check out the decks below for some help on clearing this final boss.

Great guide! Immediately looked this up after purchasing Naxxramas. I don't have dust so I have changed the simplest Paladin deck here a bit and I still won. :D

Took me a few tries but I finally defeated the giant-spider. Here is an upgraded Pally aggro that will get the job done against Maex. However, be careful that she does not summon a sludge belcher and always keep humility for sea-giant. Also, beware that she may summon shade of naxramas so you must immediately trade for it. Other than that, I have nothing else to report for any major concerns.

Basically, this deck is always face and heal. Obviously, use Abusive Sgt. to power up your charges, do not mulligan Blessing of Wisdom and use it on Maex's spider (be careful not to overdraw). Have fun!

Finished Naxx heroic mode with budget decks and here is what I used. After looking through the forum, I decided to make the decks a spoiler so that everyone's happy :D

For Anub'Rekhan, I used a Priest deck with a little difference. The idea behind is to consistently control the board with minions that can trade 2-to-1 with his dreaded Nerubians. Plus with the Priest's Hero Power, you can push the value a little further by healing your minions. You also have a surprisingly strong finisher with the right draws!
For Grand Widow Faerlina, I used a simple zoo deck. You want to mulligan hard for those 1 and 2 drops otherwise Fearlina will have a very strong hero power!
Finally for Maexxna, I used a Face Hunter deck. The idea behind this is that you don't particularly care if your minions are sent back to your hand, as most of them will have charge. Add in Explosive Traps and you are golden. Side note, one of the best things about Maexxna is that he summons a lot of minions to the board, so Starving Buzzard+Unleash the Houds will replenish your hand with no problem.

I used a paladin deck with low level cards like Blue gill Warrior and Elven Archer and waited till she had four Haunted Creepers on the field; then I just used consecration so that the bored was filled with 1/1 spiders and she could only do 7 damage each turn. I then used holly light, Silverlight Champion and Guardian of Kings to heal myself while I chipped away at her health using the archers the warrior and other various charge minions. My deck was pretty much all basic cards and I just took advantage of the computer's automatic return so that it couldn't play anything with real punch to it. It was quite fun haha

Face hunter deck worked for me against Maexxna. Explosive Rune to fill his board with 1/1s so that he can't summon anything big and nasty. Unleash the hounds and let him bounce a couple. Bring out the wolf and wail. After that just keep playin' whatever direct damage and charges you can. Try to avoid killing of his minions as much as you can (obviously you can't stop him from doing the same) so that he is still stuck with 1/1s. Had him done in five turns. Great deck!

Probably also on a tuesday. I would assume that a weekly release means simply 7 days later.

At least I hope it's like that xD
