Greybeard Oversky

[Murray McBrain]

Am I crazy, or is Greybeard the most impossible boss in all of Oversky? The dude starts with a ton of Faeria, his deck is pure aggro with burn, the size of the map is super small and you can't even fight him back cause he deals 5 damage to all your creatures when you attack him (Which you need to defend yourself from the onslaught of creatures he has to begin with. Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I just suck; I still think Greybeard needs to be nerfed

No he is definitely the toughest to solo on your own. With another human player, it's tough but doable. I feel there's a few bosses in Oversky that almost require you to have another player.

That said, I 'almost' beat him in a fatigue game with a controlling yellow deck, so it is possible... just highly unlikely.

Play a green deck with bone collectors, buffs, taunts, and healing (try and ensure most cards are 3 faeria or less because there are no wells to collect from). Once you get bone collectors, buff them up quickly by throwing other units at enemies (usually killing both for +2/+2) or by straight up using buff cards. You need to ensure they stick to the board. You'll probably take a lot of damage before you can gain board control, which is why healing cards are important. Eventually your bone collector(s) will get big enough, and hopefully greybeard will have taken enough damage that you can end the game in one hit.

Sharra is probably the best AI ally for playing solo.

You might not get it right away because there's some rng involved in getting good draws (and hoping greybeard doesn't draw the perfect answers all the time), but once I got control of the board it was pretty smooth.

I actually did try a deck like that, and it was horrible. I ended up dealing no damage to Greybeard whatsoever because I couldn't buff my creatures fast enough due to the lack of faeria production. I ended up just building a mono red combat/removal deck which did well in hosing Greybeard today without actually hitting Greybeard... And it only took me almost an entire week
