Heroic

For Heroic Sapphiron a mage deck can be used. For early/mid game try to keep the board clear and avoid damage until the boss can`t have the card advantage needed to apply pressure.

Prohibited cards

This applies whether her Battlecry is applied to Sapphiron or the player.

Druid

Using a Milling Druid deck works great against Sapphiron.

In the early turns, Sapphiron`s most common opener consists on coining for a Faerie Dragon Faerie Dragon Set: Classic Type: Minion Subtype: Dragon Rarity: Common Cost: 2 Attack: 3 Health: 2 Abilities: Elusive Can t be targeted by Spells or Hero Powers.Adorable. Immune to Magic. Doesn t pee on the rug. The hearthstone and playing an additional one next turn, which can be counteracted by playing Explosive Sheep. Use removal spells to clear the board (such as Swipe, Force of Nature, etc) and keep Naturalize for Necroknight         The subject of this article is part of the           Curse of Naxxramas adventure Necroknight Set: Naxxramas Type: Minion Rarity: Common Cost: 4 Attack: 5 Health: 6 Abilities: Deathrattle, Destroy Tags: Positional effect Deathrattle: Destroy the hearthstone or the Bite + Savage Roar combo to deal with Spectral Knight Spectral Knight Set: Naxxramas Type: Minion Rarity: Common Cost: 5 Attack: 4 Health: 6 Abilities: Elusive Can t be targeted by spells or Hero Powers.What do Faerie Dragons and Spectral Knights have in common? They both hearthstone . As a last resort, play Poison Seeds + either Explosive Sheep or Starfall to clear Sapphiron`s side of the board.

You will have to maintain relatively high health during the duel, so Healing Touch and Antique Healbot are nice for that purpose, as well as Tree of Life (which will also heal Sapphiron, but that won`t matter if you play it before fatigue starts consuming him). Meanwhile, force Sapphiron to draw cards by playing Naturalize and Coldlight Oracle.

Using this strategy, Sapphiron will run out of minions and, eventually, will start taking fatigue damage before you do the same. Employ your remaining spells to further weaken Sapphiron and victory will be yours.

Curse of Naxxramas

Once one of Malygos⃢₀ₙ blue dragonflight, Sapphiron was slain by Arthas Menethil and raised from the dead to guard Kel`Thuzad         The subject of this article is part of the           Curse of Naxxramas adventure Kel Thuzad Set: Naxxramas Type: Hero Health: 30 (Normal)45 (Heroic) data page] For the minion card of the same name, see Kel Thuzad Kel Thuzad hearthstone for all of eternity. Like many of the blue dragonflight, Sapphiron had immense magical power, which was only magnified by the fact that the Lich King personally resurrected him to serve the Scourge. The chill of frost is at his command, and he uses his magic to defend Kel`Thuzad at all costs.

Trivia

While described in the above official profile as being resurrected by the Lich King, Sapphiron was in fact resurrected by Arthas Menethil, the human death knight (and former paladin) who would later go on to merge with the Lich King.

In World of Warcraft
