Galakrond’s Awakening Heroic Guide – Chapter 2 (Clash at Wyrmrest)
By yellorambo -
The new Hearthstone adventure is back with six more encounters, and though they are similar to what Week 1 had to offer in terms of difficulty – meaning any sort of OTK combo deck will get the job done with a Platebreaker/Alexstrasza deck for most encounters, with one notable exception –, the relative simplicity of the battles also gives us on opportunity to have some fun with a wide variety of archetypes. We’ve listed a bunch of wacky decks below if you’re looking for an oven-ready solution!

The Simple Solution
Just like last week’s bosses, the Heroic encounters use exactly the same deck as their Story mode counterparts, and the difference between the battles comes in the form a higher Health total and a lower Mana cost on the Hero Power in certain circumstances. As such, decks like Holy Wrath Paladin and Mecha'thun Warlock will easily get you through most encounters – however, Lazul’s two-stage boss fight is an exception to this. Otherwise, the combo decks we’ve listed in our Week 1 guide will still serve you well here, but we’ve also come up with a set of new recommendations for you.

I used Mecha'thun against Lazul and it just bypassed the 2nd stage and killed her. I'm not sure if that is intended or not but just thought I'd point it out.
Stonekeep
Oh, hahah. That's interesting. Not sure if it should work that way, but it's neat.

Mechathun works just fine against Lazul. I used Mechathun Warrior (the Malygos combo) to beat her but be careful because once the AI realises your plan it will do anything to prevent it. (e.g. not playing any minion if you still have a brawl in your deck/hand).
Stonekeep
Wait, what? I think that was just a coincidence, because current Hearthstone AI definitely can't realize that you run Mecha'thun build and do pro plays like that to deny it :D
KingArthas
Due to the fact that I messed up the combo the first time, I had to play it again and in both cases Lazul didn't play any card while I had brawl in my hand or in the deck (overdrawing or playing absolutely nothing once Mecha'thun hit the board and lived because of my mistake).
DukeStarswisher
If Zephrys can't give you the perfect card to counter the opposing deck, there is absolutely no way these AI understand you have a combo deck. Lazul probably didn't have anything worth playing at that point, and you are suffering from a cognitive bias.
KingArthas
Which part of the "overdrawing" did you not understand? It's not that hard for an A.I. to realise what I'm playing since Lazul used her hero power almost every turn and discovered various cards from my deck.

The AI is abysmal in this adventure. I'd go so far as to say it is even badder than it was in all other single player content. It makes the most stupid mistakes all the time (play order, attacks, missing lethal, everything you can imagine).

Thank you for posting, Token Druid worked very well for me against Cultist Dawnshatter, didn't have all cards you suggested, but included some Standard Token druid cards instead and worked as well! For all other encounters I used Highlander Mage, took 2-3 tries on average.

Mecha'thun even counters Lazul. No 2-stage-fight anymore. ;)
