I have created a monster..

[Thornburst]

My newest ascended hero has 72HP, 10dmg, 4 teeths, smackback and restore 4 health on kill. And i even didnt need him to win this run. All work was done by combination of Monch and doubled Chikichi ((( In addition to this he has a company of two overburn applyers (one - with barrage and snow) and unpredictable Splinter.

Any thoughts how to beat this abomination? I feel despair when lookin in a purple telescope..

The same way you can beat everything in this game if you want to: just play until you get some overpowered version of Snoffel.

Snoffel with a countdown decreasing charm and Snoof with a barrage charm, coupled with the clunker that lets your crowned companions go twice, will beat any boss comp; as they just don't get to play (you'd have snoof barraging the non-boss row to avoid the teeth).

Add Shelly into the mix and let your leader get finishing blows on the mooks. Then with all the shell they picked up they can then just bang their face off of the boss and absorb it's teeth.

Once the boss is the only one left you just rotate companions forever so they don't die to the teeth.

Extra benefit: the clunker isn't added to the bosses companion list (it gets replaced with a frenzy hog) so you can beat the team created by this comp with basically any other comp.

Snoof is the best! But can't rememeber who is Snoffel and have never seen described clunker in my runs.

I had a similar situation and the answer is usually getting into a situation where you have to interact with the Frost Guardian as little as possible. Kill all of the other minions, then use redraw extremely aggressively to line up Snow turns. As long as you do that, Smackback heros are actually pretty easy as Guardians.

Remember, there's nothing that prevents you from just sitting there and redrawing all day against a Smackback Guardian to get the exact draw you need to actually attack. The only wrinkle you have is that you have Teeth on your Guardian, so you will probably need to also add some sustain somewhere in your deck as well. So depending on your exact team composition, 2 repeatable snow sources + 1 sustain source will be sufficient to just run over your Guardian without considering your other minions.

His guardian has 4 teeth which are not affected by snow, there's ridicoulosly little counterplay against it, I am currently sitting at a similarily impossible challenge except mine has apply 3 poison to the attacker when hit instead of teeth which at least means I'm able to counter them with oil.

That's why I said you need a sustain source. There's a couple of sustain sources that let you get past 4 teeth, so long as you aren't relying on a multi-attacker for scaling. Even healer followers can potentially get you there (you're at a small negative with their slower action speed and only 3 HP per minion, but that can be easily made up for with even the weaker sustain items).

An example is spamming the 5 Shell Barrage card, for example.
