League of Explorers: Heroic Lady Naz'jar

Hi everyone, welcome to another round of Tavern Brawl. Just kidding, we're actually on week

three of League of Explorers. It's time to do some heroic action, we're going to be playing

against Lady Nazjarn, and I've loaded up a heroic paladin deck to tackle her. And we're

going to find out if it's going to be successful or not. A couple things you'll notice, this

is a pseudo-control paladin sort of a deck. I've got Consecration and Equality in there

Doctor Boom, obviously. I did not add in Tirion because I actually forgot, but it doesn't really

matter since he's most likely going to get replaced anyways due to her hero power, which we'll get to in a moment. On heroic mode, Nazjarn's armor goes up to 15 in addition

to 30 health, and her hero power... it's the same thing as normal. At the end of her turn

she's going to replace all minions with new ones, and they all cost more. So, you'll notice that a lot of the minions I

picked have certain effects on them. The only difference is that on heroic, Nazjarn's minions

actually cost one more. Ours, unfortunately, is the same, so we have to play reasonably

efficient minions as well. I thought about playing Secret Paladin, but then I realized

all those buffs and stuff didn't really matter, unfortunately. Ooh, that's not good at all

Huh. Cool. We've got our ace in the hole of the Equality and the Consecration, so we've got both pieces available to us, just in case we need it

Okay. Wow. Let's hope this hits

Nope, hit the wrong one. Lumen Presence? Maybe Freeze Mage is something I should be doing instead

Hmm. Yeah. Oh, this isn't going to work. Let's do that, and that

Hmm. Alright, that works

They were out there for a little bit, but they got another armor. And I'm quickly running out of cards myself

Oh, this is perfect. Divine Favor. Let's be filling my hand here. No one drops, unfortunately, but that's okay. Got a bunch of recruits

Hmm. Well, that's rather unfortunate

Ooh, an Ultra, okay. And we may as well play the Blademaster

Maybe I should have added a few more top minions in here, too. Hmm

Alright. Hmm

Huh, that's amazing. Do this, get another Belcher out there to buy us a bit more time

I really don't want to Consecrate right now, either, just yet. Maybe I should have added some NTP-O-Bots in here, too

Yikes. Okay

I think this is... what's the play here? I may as well wipe the board now

Let's see now. Sweet. Let's drop a Blademaster, Infiltrator, and let's hope I stay alive just long enough to, you know, defeat my opponent here

Of course, they play Feral Spirits, which is fine. Nice. Pretty sure I'm out of board clear now, so it's kind of all or nothing at this point

Ha ha ha, okay. How much do I have? 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9..

12, 13, 14 damage. Not even close. I have to clear the board again

Let's try to get a Spinner here. Maybe get a Crush. Nope, no Crush

Let's go ahead and knock that out. Yeah

Hmm. Dr. Boom? No, let's play Lotheb

A defensive Lotheb. Yep

We need more minions, though. Desperate. Oh, if we just hang on for a little bit longer..

Wow, they're almost out of cards, too. Alright

Well, that's going to be a problem. Let's go ahead and activate this guy here

And... How much more do I have here? What is the play

Let's go ahead and give this one attack. Hmm. We have to kill all of these guys, at least most of them

Steal one. Nope, not the one I wanted. Hmm

Well, might as well get the Silverhand Knight out here. I am well within Frostbolt range right now

Oh! Oh, that was close. Missed lethal with that one. Do I have enough to win yet

Are you kidding me? Oh, there's a Consecration. Well, let's see. 2, 8, 9, 10..

11, 12. I think what we're going to do is we're going to Consecration first

Soften up the board a little bit. Okay, so I killed that

Now we need to kill... everything else somehow. Let's get rid of that

Let's get rid of that. Get rid of that. Let's see where this guy goes

Oh, cool, I actually hit. And we'll drop two more of these guys

And Hero Power. This is a very tense game. Taunt minions? Oh, of course

Shieldbearer? Alright. Now 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14

Yeah, we got it. It'll work. You know, but otherwise... It's pretty doable

Just got to be... Somebody's got to get a little bit lucky with the board

And that's Rurik Nazjar. Now we can assemble the artifact together. Yay
