We show you in this guide how to defeat Lord Marrowgar, Deathbringer Saurfang, and Lady Deathwhisper in Hearthstone on the Frozen Throne!
The new expansion Knights of the Frozen Throne is live in Hearthstone . With it came not only 135 fresh cards but also a handful of story missions (like in the adventures back then). For the prologue, no help is needed. While you lose against the Lich King, this is intentional and part of the “story” that Blizzard wants to tell with Knights of the Frozen Throne.
However, the next 3 bosses of Wing 1 are significantly more difficult.
We will tell you which decks you can use to reliably defeat the bosses.

How to defeat Lord Marrowgar (Lord Mark’gar) in Hearthstone
The first boss is Lord Marrowgar and has mainly two mechanics that make life difficult for players.
- Bone Spike: A minion with 0/8 that deals 15 damage to the player at the beginning of the next turn of the boss.
- Bone Reconstruction: Mark’gar’s hero power heals all damage he has taken and brings him back to 30 health at the end of his turn.

Basically, there are two tried and tested strategies. Either you go for a “One Turn Kill” combo with a priest by buffing your own minion and then sending it in with over 30 damage, or you opt for a fatigue deck. Here, the match is played until the boss has no cards left and dies from the fatigue damage incurred.
We chose Zelgraz’s paladin deck, which simply outlasts the opponent. Especially many taunt minions and powerful heals like Forbidden Healing or Ragnaros the Lightlord ensure the necessary endurance to survive the fight. It is important to deal with the bone spikes quickly, while in doubt the good old “Equality+Consecration combo” can help. You can watch how the deck is played in this video:
