Heroic Skelesaurus Hex Basic Shaman
- Murloc Tinyfin x2
- Rockbiter Weapon x2
- Elven Archer x2
- Grimscale Oracle x2
- Murloc Raider x2
- Sir Finley Mrrgglton
- Bluegill Warrior x2
- Flametongue Totem x2
- Jeweled Scarab x2
- Murloc Tidehunter x2
- Hex x2
- Windspeaker x2
- Bloodlust x2
- Fire Elemental x2
- Everyfin is Awesome x2
- Stormwind Champion
Drop Windspeaker and Stormwind Champion for whatever murlocs you can get your hands on. Lightning Storm or Forked Lightning are also good for board clear. Mulligan for a murloc and specifically Sir Finley makes a great one drop.
Heroic Steel Sentinel Basic Mage
- Arcane Missles x2
- Elven Archer x2
- Frostbolt x2
- Acidic Swamp Ooze x2
- Huge Toad x2
- Jeweled Scarab x2
- Murloc Tidehunter x2
- Frost Nova x2
- Brann Bronzebeard
- Polymorph x2
- Oasis Snapjaw x2
- Water Elemental
- Darkscale Healer x2
- Ethereal Conjurer
- Summoning Stone x2
- Flamestrike x2
Ditch your Flamestrike, Oasis Snapjaw, Murloc Tidehunter and Jeweled Scarab cards when you get Flamewaker(very high priority),Garrison Commander, Cone of Cold or Blizzard. High health minions likeMogushan Warden or Deathlord and also Vaporise since it still works on minions despite the hero ability. Mulligan for any 1 or 2 cost cards that aren’t Frostbolt Swamp Ooze or Tidehunter.
Heroic Arch-Thief Rafaam Basic Warlock
- Sacrificial Pact x2
- Murloc Tinyfin x2
- Corruption x2
- Soulfire x2
- Elven Archer x2
- Grimscale Oracle x2
- Murloc Raider x2
- Sir Finley Mrrgglton
- Stonetusk Boar x2
- Voodoo Doctor x2
- Novice Engineer x2
- Succubus x2
- Magma Rager x2
- Hellfire
- Eerie Statue x2
- Summoning Stone x2
Even on normal, this was a huge pain fight until I started focusing on buffing the Spear, but Tommy discovered that Corruption and Soulfire AI is not all it’s cracked up to be. Adding any trash rare cards like Angry Chicken will get your Rare Spear charged up really fast. Definitely my least favorite fight in the entire expansion, this one above all others demands it’s own deck slot from your meager 9 that you are shackled with. Mulligan for Spear first and foremost, Raven Idol is also a good early pick. Drop Hellfire for Alarm-o-bot, Secret Keeper or the afore mentioned Angry Chicken, more rare’s to buff that spear up.
Heroic Rafaam Unleashed Basic Priest
- Mind Vision x2
- Power Word: Shield x2
- Northshire Cleric x2
- Voodoo Doctor
- Divine Spirit x2
- Shadow Word: Pain x2
- Jeweled Scarab x2
- Murloc Tidehunter x2
- Museum Curator x2
- Shadow Word: Death x2
- Holy Nova x2
- Gurubashi Berserker x2
- Summoning Stone x2
- Entomb x2
- Arch-Thief Rafaam
- Mind Control x2
More RNG than usual swirls around this mad grab for powerful relics as you and Rafaam take turns slinging them at each other. Watch out for the board clear he is packing as dumping your whole hand onto the board in this match up can be very easily punished. Mulligan for Shadow Word Death, 2 drop minions, Summoning Portal or Shadow Word: Pain. Faceless Manipulator and Lightbomb can be swapped in and if you do you can remove Northshire Cleric, Voodoo Hunter or Murloc Tidehunter.
