Please keep in mind that I am not very good at Hearthstone, but here’s what I did when I was able to beat it in under 40.
I played as Togwaggle. While it may seem like he has the most unimpressive hero power, his starting deck is actually really strong and comes with two cards that are treasures in their own right. From their, I mainly drafted thieving related cards, as most of those are creatures with attack and health equal to their cost, but come with the upside of more options.
By far the MVP for combos was Sonya Shadowdancer. Having her out allowed me to easily get a strong Pogo-Hopper or immediately rush down enemy minions with Underbelly fence, or even get an army of spiders from Fal’Dorei spider. My favorite to get as a 1/1 was “The Muscle,” the minion treasure from The Dalaran Heist that gives three free cards.
The main hurdle I had was the middle boss, Garr. I hate this boss and always have. However, he becomes a lot more manageable with the help of weapons as well as minions with rush to ensure all of his firesworn don’t die on the same turn. Remember: If they all die from the same effect, you are going to be taking significantly more damage. Do not try to use board wipes, it will end badly for you. If possible, try to vary their health so that only one or two will be dying on any turn. Even killing them with minions will be better than fragging them all at once due to their triggers. IE if killing three all at once, all three trigger for 3 damage, totaling to 9. If you killed with minions on the same turn, first deals 1, second deals 2, third deals 3, totaling to 6. It’s not much, but small saves to your life total add up over time and could make or break the fight. For best results, try to kill one on your turn and leave another to die to his hero power, saving significantly more.
After that fight I had very little problems for the rest of the run, but I very easily could have just gotten very lucky. I actually didn’t realize there was going to be a reward for completing it fast and was checking to see if there was going to be any other times to beat. The moral of the story is that if I was able to beat it in under 40, you should be able to as well. Just remember that it apparently goes off of real world time rather than in game time.
