Soon we are knocking on the Lich King's door in Hearthstone, but the 3 bosses of the High Halls are still in our way. Blood Queen Lana'thel, Professor Epidemic Murder and the Lich King's pet Sindragosa, defend the path to their master by all means. In Professor Epuchenmord's case even with newly grown tentacles and a modern face as reinforcement.

Blood Queen Lana'thel - Biting the competition in Hearthstone

It transforms you into an undead, who every round his new hero ability Vampire Bite must use. If you don't have your own servants, the Blood Queen provides you with two 0/10 sleeping acolytes targets. Of course, this has the disadvantage that these start to cause real damage over time.

Therefore, a deck with lots of your own creatures is recommended. For example a pirate deck with many onslaught of servants who should quickly kill Lana'thel due to the bite. Murloc Paladin or a Jade Druid are relatively safe ways to emerge victorious.

Professor Plague Murder

Epidemic murder offers a little more challenge. With 3 phases and 3 hero skills that you have to be prepared for, as well as fauldarm in phase 2 and moderate face in phase 3 as reinforcement.

Phase 1 starts with the hero ability that all secrets cost 0 mana, accordingly the professor also plays a whole series of secrets in his deck and these are made up of paladin, magician and hunter secrets. So you have to play around with a lot of possibilities.

The selection of its secrets consists of:

magician: Frost Clone, Duplicate, Counterspell, Atomize, and Mirror Form.

Hunter(Luckily he doesn't have a booby trap): Ice trap, cat out of the hat and arrow trap.

paladin: Avengers, Code of Escape and Holy Trial

Accordingly, a mage deck is ideal to benefit from the 0 mana costs for your own secrets, as well as secret eaters who destroy the enemy secrets.

Since the professor changes to phase 2 as soon as he has no more armor, you can plan the transition a little and should be in control beforehand and have the opportunity to hunt down faience. During the phase, the professor's heroic ability changes and the cost of weapons is reduced to 1 mana.

Similar problems arise when changing to phase 3, which also starts at 0 armor, only the epidemic murder's helper appears with a mild face and must be killed directly with a spell / servant. In the 3rd phase, all cards cost 5 mana, thanks to the professor's new hero ability.

This offers a magician deck with secret eater and own secrets, mixed with possibilities to destroy weapons. 1-2x metamorphosis and fireballs to quickly get rid of the faience and the modern face should not be missing either.

Sindragosa

As the last obstacle, Sindragosa stands in our way and she also plants new obstacles. True to the World of Warcraft Raid, Sindragosa transforms your servants into, this time indestructible, blocks of ice that delimit the space on your side of the field.

The fight starts with 4 blocks of ice. When you reach 20 and 10 life points, it freezes your current servants again. So you have no place to play new servants. So plan the transition if possible so that you let your servants run into their servants beforehand to have space for a replacement.

Of course, a pirate - warrior deck with many weapons is ideal here, so that you can deal the fatal blow in the end without a servant. An angry berserker can get huge here and do a lot of damage. Alternatively, you can dig out the good old C'Thun and hold out with scoffers like the backyard blacksmith until your C'Thun can take care of Sindragosa.

As a reward for these 3 victories, a package of Hearthstone - Knights of the Frost Throne cards beckons.
