How do i win the first campaign fight Vs. Strangers???

[Hex: Onii-Chan]

Okay, so im pretty new to the game and it really starts to annoy me. Having tried it about 5 times, i still don't see even a remote chance of winning it.

The first phase i'm winning just fine. Then my hand gets trashed and the fight restarts into the 2nd phase. Now he continues to spam that retarded card that lets him summon like 5 strangers a turn, who just instantly swallow the entire board. And all i have is the lightning storm, a crappy 4/4 and 2 removals.

What the hell am i supposed to do? Sorry if i sound frustrated, but it just feels rediculously weighed against the player. Since there is no choice in what you get in the 2nd phase, it seems to be sort of a puzzle, but i just can't get behind what the ♥♥♥♥ the game wants from me.

Honestly Jekk Bounty campaign i found some bosses to be extremely hard until u get better cards (i suggest fire deck with 4 outlaws which u get from Jekk 1st boss reward i guess - they pop into ur hand once u hand is empty so u can have 1 unti every turn)! it felt sometimes even harder than other campaigns (havent played Horus yet).

Here scratched something together for you to try out.
4x Praxis Outlaw is a must (u getb those from Jekk 1st boss)!!!
Key is cheap power cards you can dash out fast + alot drones!!! (can replace any other mobs for extra drones if u have cards, but keep it mostly cheap power)
Make a drone army and try adding cards that 1 shot units and are cheap if u have those (Combust is good also since u have alot drones and can sarifice them; also Affliction, Annihilate, Vara's Favor, Execute)... And don't worry if ur 1 hit kill drone army deck goes to 150 cards.

3 Combust (Set1 #392)
4 Direfang Spider (Set1 #256)
4 Grenadin Drone (Set1 #5)
1 Kaleb's Intervention (Set3 #4)
1 Pummel (Set2 #6)
2 Ruin (Set1 #15)
2 Scrap Hound (Set3 #6)
4 Suffocate (Set1 #251)

Uhm...thanks for the effort, but i mean the one where discount Arthas & discount Malganis are talking about how they have to pay the price for some folks being frustrated. Then it starts a scripted fight where i get the same cards every time. It's called "The beginning of the end" if i recall correctly and i haven't found a button allowing me to pick a constructed deck.

[Septimus Prime]

The end and the beginning is 1 battle only and you need there only survive enough turns to win until Throne is activated. yeh cannot pick there ur own decks.
Just survive as long as possible there (i think u needed to get boss also to 0 and then it triggers the 2nd wave where u need survive until throne activates).
Strategy there is to kill the right strangers 1st so others become weak etc. You cannot kill 2nd wave boss. Just try to stay alive as long as possible.
Remember enemy ALWAYS attacks there even if it has 1 unit and you have 10.
It is like the beginning of all campaigns and also the end (storywise)! 1 battle only.
if you want 16 boss battles Campaigns then they cost either gold or gems to unlock.
Jekk Bounty campaign is right now free giveaway under Alienware giveaways.

Hmmkay, thanks

This battle for throne has 2 parts:
1st part kill all and kill boss and dont worry about cards or HP, just beat da boss!
2nd part all resets and ur HP 25 again.
So here is sequence for the 2nd part of the battle:
1) play Throne Warden
2) dont block anything let them attack
3) lightning storm -> kills 8 of them
4) deathstrike kill remaining 1 + attack with Warden
5) silence -> determined stranger
6) obliterate -> forsworn stranger
7) crystalize
8) claim the throne!

gz! u claimed the throne and watch the intro/outro!

Thanks X_X


The game seems pretty awesome so far. Sure, it looks kinda like Hearthstone, but closer to actual Magic the Gathering with it's resource cards & mixed decks. The amount of stuff one earns by playing is amazing, but on the other hand it's incredibly frustrating to top-deck power cards 5 turns in a row, losing simply because you literally couldn't play anything.

Miles ahead of Artifact tho, that's for sure.

Yeh power cards drawing alot in row or them not dropping at all is HUGE issue here and it basically determines in alot cases if you lose or win... i hope they fix or change it now abit after this last test tournament we had :)

Well, i decided to go for pure (green) Justice decks, which have great t1-3 units that get Warcry, which mitigates staying below 6-7 mana, since even my low-cost units get beefed up. Additionally the Fast Spells provide amazing protection, basically being hand-traps.

I myself grinding gold for ALL campaigns + all store theme decks, which all can be bought 1 time only and which add some nice cards and card setups for 2.5K gold each.
