Strategy and Deck Building

When building a deck to beat Sapphiron, your main challenge will be dealing enough damage to burn down his huge health pool, as his Frost Breath prevents you from having any lasting board presence. This can easily be achieved by minions with Charge, weapons, direct damage spells, and hero powers.

Nerubian Egg, Harvest Golem, Cairne Bloodhoof, and Sylvanas Windrunner can grant you some value on the board with their Deathrattle, which can be used for board control or direct damage.

The easiest way of defeating Sapphiron is to use a Hunter or Mage deck, keep up with his board, and gradually burn down his health pool using your Hero Power, charge minions and direct damage spells.

Alexstrasza cannot be used on this encounter.
