Greetings, travelers
0:04
League of Explorers has been released, and this is going to be one of the series of videos
0:09
I'll be doing on how to get through the heroic portions of the new adventure
0:14
For this video, we're going to go through the Temple Escape video, or the Temple Escape
0:19
encounter, sorry. And this is an interesting one in the sense that you're not really going up against a
0:25
boss, per se. All you've got to do is survive 10 turns
0:29
And the deck I'll be using today, you can see it on the side here, is a variant on Freeze Mage
0:35
And it's designed to stall and freeze whatever minions and stuff come up against you so that
0:40
you can get to the 10th turn and survive. So let's give it a go here
0:45
I've already managed to defeat it once just to make sure that it worked okay
0:49
And those of you that read my columns might recognize certain components from the Echo
0:54
Mage post I did several weeks ago. And right off the bat, this is an excellent hand
1:00
We get two Frost Novas. That essentially guarantees us two turns of nothing happening
1:05
And just for insurance, we're going to keep the Mad Scientist, because the Mad Scientist
1:09
helps us look for the ice blocks that are in our deck
1:14
Because the last turn is quite the doozy. So far so good, nothing's going to happen here
1:21
You'll notice that once you pass your first turn, you get an over, and then you get the
1:25
choice of either getting the extra card or getting a mana crystal
1:30
Personally, I'd rather have the extra mana crystal because it gives me more options later
1:36
on in the match. I'm just going to put that aside for now though
1:40
And that turn there, I'll go ahead and take a couple of hits
1:45
What I'm really looking for is those Doomsayers. That's the card I really want
1:50
But for the time being, I do have access to a Cone of Cold
1:55
Okay, so we have another option. We can either take 5 damage, or we can play 50-50
2:02
And I like to gamble, so we're going to play 50-50. Oh, and I lost
2:08
Okay, that's fine. We're going to go ahead and Cone of Cold
2:12
And buy us a turn here where they can't do anything. Oh geez
2:20
I think I got another set of Frost Novas here. Frost Nova that
2:28
The mad scientist is going to actually die here from the awesome rolling boulder here
2:35
Yep, let's just go ahead and let him do that. I believe in one of these future turns, the..
2:42
Yeah, what's going to happen here is the ceiling will collapse and wipe out the whole board here
2:49
The ceiling will collapse and wipe out the whole board. Including the opposing side of the board there
2:55
So knowing that, we are going to sit on the big game hunter
3:00
And we have an option here to draw 2 cards to restore 10 health. And we are definitely taking the 10 health
3:08
Yeah, there's a nice little 10-10 animated statue there. So we're just going to go ahead and freeze the board again here
3:16
And return with the boulder rolled across. This is where minion placement does matter
3:23
So if you are playing new minions, place it on the right. And now the ceiling collapses and the whole board is cleared and we can safely breathe again
3:30
Nothing is going to happen again. And we're going to play Emperor Thaurissan
3:36
Gives us a little bit more cheaper spells to work with like a Polymorph Bore or Flamestrike
3:41
And we've got these two temple guards. And they're just out of range of big game hunter
3:48
So that's alright. We're going to go ahead and Polymorph one of them really quickly here
3:53
And destroy it. Actually, I'm going to sit on the Frostbolt for the time being
4:00
I can afford to take another 4 turns worth of hits from the temple guard
4:07
So I'm in a relatively decent spot for now. Hopefully. Let's give us some cheaper spells here. I'll take that hit. Okay
4:19
Not to mention, we are saved by that ice block, so it does buy us a turn. What's going to happen here? Another ice block. That's good
4:27
I'm actually going to get one turn closer to the exit, which is fine
4:32
And... let's see here. What do we want to do? We just want to go ahead and play a cold
4:38
Play big game hunter that, though. And end the turn. We're getting a set of obstacles, but we're wanting to get to the exit, so it doesn't really matter to us
4:51
We can just go ahead and end the turn right now. But just because we can, I'm just going to go ahead and Polymorph this right here
4:57
Which does almost nothing. Drop an Illuminator for some extra insurance. And... sure, let's just Frostbolt that
5:08
End turn. So we've got two ice blocks here that can protect us
5:16
And... activate. We are saved. And... this should do it
5:30
That's alright. Now, there you have it. That is the Temple Escape on Heroic
5:37
Fairly quick, fairly easy, and with the right combination of cards, you should be able to survive quite nicely
