Hearthstone: The Lich King with a 380 Dust Druid Deck

In this video we take on The Lich King, the final boss of the Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion for Hearthstone, with a Druid deck that costs 380 dust to craft!

Code for deck: AAECAZICAtAHtLsCDimEAb8B2AH+AYUD/gOIBaAF4wWKB5oHpAfdvgIA

Mulligan: any card that will not be removed by the Lich Kings’ special ability. At best you’ll end up having 3 you can’t play until later anyway, but it does mean you’ll get all of your cards quicker.

Cards to add: other Jade cards that you may have, but if you add more than another 2-3 I’d definitely add a second Jade Idol to prevent RNG making it harder to draw one.

Cards to Remove: if you’re putting in more Jade, either take out the Behemoth or random cards that are only there to be instantly discarded.

For those having trouble with this battle after the nerf of Innervate:
Using this deck blueprint I finally beat the LK by replacing 4 of the useless minions with 1 Wild Growth, 1 Healing Touch, 1 Jade Blossom and 1 Spreading Plague. This does increase the dust cost by 140 if you don't have Jade Blossom and Spreading Plague, but I found it significantly decreases the number of attempts required to defeat him. I think Spreading Plague during his early Frost Mourne phase was what won me the match, but mana ramp and jade ramp are crucial in the early turns, and RNG still plays a part. All props go to Tommy J for designing this list though, I just tweaked it a bit.

To Tommy J: Thanks dude, I just started playing Hearthstone in December of 2017 and your basic lists have helped me burn through the bosses of Knights of the Frozen Throne in no time! Finally 1 LK victory down. 8 to go!!

Instead of using a behemoth, use 2 wild growths and 2 jade blossoms. Got it in the 1st try; He even blizzard-ed my jades 2 times..

Been trying for an hour now.. Innervate only giving 1 mana hurts

Thanks. I manged to succeed with this general idea this afternoon so it can still be done despite the nerf to Innervate.

I included Mecharoo (summons a 1/1 with its deathrattle) and made sure it was in my opening hand. This will help you clear a Ghoul along with your hero power on turn 2 or at least attract a hit from a different minion. I ended up winning with just 3 HP left and this could have made the difference.

The other card I mulligan'd for was Jade Idol itself. At some point in the early game it's good to get 3 of them shuffled in. It does make the subsequent card draws more prone to bad luck, but you're just gonna need good RNG period in this fight.

Furthermore I added 2 x Jade Blossom to the deck. This was a big help in a few ways: it gets another minion on the board, furthers your progress with the Jade Golems and makes up for Innervate's nerf.

I Innervate out a Jade Behemoth as soon as I can and hope to have enough cover to get an Auctioneer going. As luck would have it I managed to have two Auctioneers alive and I absolutely filled my hand and deck with Jade Idols. Had a 15/15 on board that I didn't even need.

PHEW!

Same tactic since they changed to 1 mana instad of 2 on Innervate?

[mikko]

this helped so much i have tried so many times but now on the second try

[martynasjaneliunas]

Thank you :). I added the jade spell that gives you mana crystal+summon jade giant and with it worked

[mydingdingdong]

Awesome vid. Thanks... after 23 try's and cant remember restarts... i bested him with the deck with one change... 2 wild growth and 2 spreading plague.

[MikesUltimatum]

I already had all the non-legendary jade cards so this was great. I did have to spend all of my dust on Auctioneer, but I found out it really can't be done without him. Got it in two tries after I got him though.

[kristenkim]

cool haven't tried it but will it work with 1 actineer and also should you put two idols?

[ewanogilvie]

this deck still works post innervate patch but you absolutely need to add two wild growths, you need to mulligan for them first also

[grzegorzpalach]

Hello, any ideas for the new cards? Ive stuck with druid :(

[TheFrozenslapshot]

Switch out both innervate for wild growth. It really helps (Just make sure you use the wild growth early in the game)

[twofeetunder]

After the Innervate nerf, just add 2 Jade Blossoms and 2 Wild Growth. It's so easy. Just mulligan everything except for innervate and ramp. Then just use innervate to ramp and ramp. Got it my second try. :)

[Perhelion]

Works very good, I improved the deck for me with some draw cards like: Runic Egg and Wrath and some other rare cards I had (replaced some low cost minions). I beat him more than once only with one Auctioneer (I drop him only after round 7).
