Loatheb seemed tough given that he has 99 health, can deal 3 damage to you per turn (ignoring army) and especially because I read the spore text wrong (I thought if you killed it, it gives Loatheb’s minions +8 attack). Once I understood it, this made the challenge much easier. Here’s my deck:
- Flash Heal x 2
- Holy Smite x 2
- Light of the Naaru
- Power World: Glory x 2
- Northshire Cleric x 2
- Convert
- Resurrect x 2
- Shadow Word: Pain x 2
- Thoughtsteal x 2
- Velen’s Chosen x 2
- Dark Cultist x 2
- Dragonhawk Rider x 2
- Shadow Madness
- Holy Champion
- Holy Nova x 2
- Holy Fire x 2
- Temple Enforcer
- Confessor Paletress
I started out with a Warrior build to do AOE damage, but after 1 game where I realized what a Spore actually did, I switched to Priest. I won in my second match as the spores pumped my minions up way too much. I had a 27-6 Windfury Dragonhawk Rider and took down Loatheb from 52 HP on my last turn!
