It is therefore very important to silence Rhonin (the original copy, not the 1/1 or it will turn into a 7/7) before killing it. Believe me, once the mirror gets its hands on six one-cost spells and then cheaply buffs them with spell damage +2 or even +4, you can say your goodbyes. These minions are most useful for Rhonin, the card that gives the mirror three copies of arcane missiles when it dies. The ‘silencers’, or in other words: the two owls and Spellbreaker. Restoring health is therefore also a key ingredient to survival. As I already mentioned, the mirror is extremely aggressive and has the potential to rob you of 20(!) or sometimes more health in a single single turn (this normally shouldn’t be able to happen if you regularly clear the board, though). The ‘healers’, such as Mistress of Mixtures, Shroom Brewer or Rotten Applebaum. Ticking Abomination, Firelands Portal and Flamestrike are there to destroy the less common but still dangerous big minions you will occasionally meet. Don’t forget that the mirror copies all the minions you play in 1/1 form, so if you play, for example, Abomination, the mirror will create one for itself, and if required you’ll be able to kill it with your hero power, thereby dealing 2 damage to all minions. These cards are the most numerous and important ones, as they permit you to frequently clear the board of the many weak-healthed minions the mirror will launch at you. The ‘clearers’, such as Arcane missiles, Explosive sheep or Ticking abomination. There are therefore 3 kinds of cards in this deck:
This deck’s strategy is thus to be able to survive until the mirror eventually succumbs to fatigue. This means that it generally runs out of cards after about 14-16 turns. The mirrors main (and probably only) weakness is that it draws lots of cards during the game, either with Looming Presence, Arcane Intellect or Bloodmage Thalnos. These minions allow the mirror to constantly throw aggressive spells at you and your minions which, if you don’t have the right deck against it, quickly results in defeat. It generally swarms you with minions that have spell damage (+1 or +2), minions that put one of its secrets into the battlefield when they die, minions that reduce the cost of its spells, Archmage Antonidas, who puts a fireball into its hand whenever it casts a spell, or Rhonin, who gives it three copies of arcane missiles when he dies. In heroic mode, the magic mirror summons 1/1 copies of every played minion for himself (but not for you as well, as in normal mode). I slowly started replacing a few cards, still encountering failure after failure, but learning from my mistakes, I was able to gradually improve the deck after each fight until I reached the deck you see here, a modernized (it even contains cards from the recent Witchwood expansion) arsenal with which I overcame the rude looking-glass after two tries. Anyway, I tested it, and although the general strategy (I’ll explain about it in a minute) seemed right, the deck in itself just didn’t appear to be good enough (at least when I was playing it). To beat it, I first sought for a deck on the internet, but the most recent one I could find was already 2 years old. I don’t know about you, but personally I think the magic mirror is the strongest Karazhan boss in heroic. Tried to work in Cult Master, but I don't find it a useful tech choice.Ĭorrupted Healbot + dagger and Cult Apothecary provide plenty of healing.Yesterday, I finally defeated the magic mirror in heroic mode, thereby unlocking the ‘portals’ card back, as I had already defeated every other Kharazhan boss in heroic mode. The 4 health each on them, coupled with a single mana wraith or two will keep you from being combo'd down by Sorceror's Apprentice Flamewaker Kobold Arcane Missle. The Nerubian minions that will be spawning for you as 4/4's from Beneath the Ground are hard for the mirror kill.
His deck does contain at least one copy of Arcane Intellect (draw 2 for 3 mana) and two copies of Looming Presence which draws three cards and gives him 6 armor. If Mirror Image is up, the enemy Skulker will spawn after the battlecry, per usual.īloodmage Thalnos, Loot Hoarder, and Coldlight put enough card draw onto his side of the board to mill, and allow you to continue pace.
#Hearthstone magic mirror heroic full
Interestingly enough, Dark Iron Skulker takes down most cards in his deck (plus ALL the hero power ones you and he spawn), and playing a Skulker will kill the one his hero power spawns for himself, resulting in a full board clear. Gang Up and Shadowstep are great for Doomsayers and Coldlight Oracles.
Tentacle of N'Zoth, Doomsayer, Fan of Knives and Vanish act as enough removal. Mill rogue modified for heroic magic mirror.
