This is definitely my favorite boss of the wing. It introduced yet another unique mechanic that was really fun to play around.
The goal here is to both block the left portal with non-Taunt minions, while maintaining a Taunt blocking the right portal. The most difficult part of this fight is getting early control, since if you’re only blocking one portal the boss still has the benefits of the other. It’s ok to take a face hit for a turn to properly line up some cards to play, since blocking both portals on the one turn makes it much easier to maintain control. Frost Shock is also godly for this purpose. If given the option, I would personally prefer to have multiple units on the Windfury side, since if you have a Taunt ready on the other side that isn’t under the portals effect, it will just be killed by the boss in one hit anyway.
A few notes; sometimes the AI seemed to bug out a bit and wouldn’t attack Taunts. This is a common problem we’ve all seen throughout most adventures, but this only makes the boss easier. One other thing to remember is that you have limited board space, so try not to block every slot up with weak minions. Also, it’s not a great idea to play just a single minion to block the Windfury portal early – if the boss kills it, he will gain windfury and get his second attack on you anyway.
Mulligan
You’re looking for Frost Shock, Goldshire Footman, or Murloc Tidehunter. Any early plays will do but those are the best.
Cards to Remove
Hex, it shouldn’t even be part of the deck and was a mistake on my part. Also, replace Frostwolf Grunt with Pompous Thespian; it’s literally just a better version (thanks /u/BabiesDrivingGoKarts ).
Cards to Add
Arcane Nullifier X-21 is an amazing card to add, since it has Taunt and is immune to spells. Any other high health Taunts such as Deathlord (which is great since he has no minions), Sludge Belcher, or Fen Creeper.
When adding cards, just be careful to not add too many expensive ones – since the boss has some serious board clear in the form of Twisting Nether, the later you have to wait the more likely you are to lose your whole board and be hit for 16 in the same turn.
