Fun fact: If you get a merc with the "deal x damage to all enemies when this takes damage" treasure and Medivh copies it, then the two effects will bounce back and forth until *everything* on the field is dead.
I did this effortlessly with Murlocs. I used Morgl, Murk-Eye, and Mutanus for both the climb and the bosd fight. On the bench, I had Cookie, Holmes and Murky. I got tons of Lucky Fin treasures, so my Murlocs were giant. One Finvasionn took most of each enemy's health off, and an attack from Mutanus could finish it off if it didn't. I didn't have Medivh at the time. If I swapped Holmes for him, it would almost certainly have still worked.
Murloc comp was a breeze, thanks! Getting Lucky Fin several times, but the Croak and Dagger treasure (fills board with 20/50 Watfins) made this comp way op. Arcane Anomaly went down in the first turn. Win took about 5 turns total, didn't lost a single murloc.
in both examples, balinda has the treasure to buff elements' health. Can't do the bounty without that treasure? Otherwise, the water element dies on that first attack already.
Shadow is the way to go. Here's a copy of my comment that's in OldGuardian's updated bounty guide (the pinned comment). Admittedly, I didn't try anything else, but @GlacierRain's build from the new video's comments was easy enough, that I didn't have to try any other build for this bounty. Here's the code for @GlacierRain's shadow comp, in case anyone wants it (my, slightly altered build, is at the bottom of this comment): CPX+mwUSFEhlcm9pYyBFY2hvIChzaGFkb3cpGAEiSgoLCNgCEOsCGOEEIAIKCwibARDcAhidAiABCgkIPhBsGJQBIAEKCwiiAhCiAhj+AyAACgsImAMQugMY4wUgAAoJCCMQ0gMYRyAAKBk= I can't say that I "farmed" this per se, but I did the bounty 20-30 times to start collecting the Chromie coins before the next expansion (700 coins). I only wiped once, and that was because of the stupid potato couldn't switch sides after turn 1. Every other time, I did not lose a single merc against the boss. You only need the three shadow blues to complete this and you don't need any specific treasures. Since I was trying to collect Chromie coins (and not do it for Medivh equipment), I switched my comp a little bit. For the climb, I did: Y'Shaarj - Mark of Y'Shaarj 4 Murky - March of the Murlocs 4 Kazakus, Golem Shaper - Wildvine 4 You can pretty much 1-shot almost every encounter on the climb, and hunt for all the elites you want (especially the green ones). Y'Shaarj does 63 damage to the 1st minion, then 90 to each additional (without any treasures nor role advantage), after Kazakus plops out a 20/20. Then the boss gets: Kazakus, Golem Shaper - Wildvine 4 Vol'jin - Ring of Haste 4 Queen Azshara - Xal'atath 4 I found myself prioritizing treasures like Shadow Volley (cast Shadow Bolt when you play a shadow ability) for extra heals, or Off the Rockers (deal damage when a Golem dies), or +Shadow Damage, or the occasional Assassinate 2 (destroy enemy at start of game). Azhara's heal equipment mitigates almost all the damage you take (especially with Shadow Volley treasure), and Vol'jin's equipment ensures that you are fast enough to AoE the copies and keep the arcane bonus damage down. And having cursed treasure isn't a problem either, with Azhara's heals. Turn 1: Vol'jin and Azhara just shoots the red add. While Kazakus runs in 3 rush golems. Turn 2: AoE the copies down (usually Azshara's 3rd ability + Vol'jin's 2nd or 3rd ability). Just make sure you get your AoEs off 1st. While Kazakus runs in 3 more rush golems. Turn 3: Clean it up with Azhara's 2nd ability (Mage Paramount for +spell damage) , and Vol'jin's 3rd (Curse of Weakness for shadow weakness if possible), and Kazakus's Shadow Claws for damage (7 times). Turn 4+: rinse and repeat. Just make sure you AoE the clones. This build leaves one extra slot for whoever you want, that you never need to take off the bench (like Medivh for the equipment or some random merc for extra coins). In my case, I just brought Valeera, in the off chance I could pick up "Assassinate 2" to destroy a random enemy, thus making the runs a little faster.

19 attempts w this team and Madivh is doing 70dmg per shot, and doing 2-4 shots by round 5. Wiped out all 6 in 2rounds. All my characters were 130hp or higher. Not working for me.
Screw it. I give up. I tried like 15 times already and it's always the same. I'll be waiting for you to find a new, easier comp in the future so maybe I can finally get this damn thing done. Thanks anyway.
in action..... any alternatives?? sometimes you post multiple decks, unfortunately i am missing equipment, and this deck won't even work for normal bounty, besides heroic, and thank you old guardian for your videos
Slower climb, but I solved this one w dragons: opened the boss w Onyxia, Sinestra, Yu’lon, brought in Nefarian when Yu’lon died. Had Long’xin & Medivh on the bench. Slow, but smooth 🤌
i dont understand, this boss works differently to me i tried your tactics twice and was not able to beat, i can kill the left guy in turn 1, i can kill Medivh in turn 2 but then the boss starts generating cards into his hand and at the end of the turn and he plays it from hand every turn, these cards are copies (with lower stats) of my minions, if i kill them it generates another 3 in his hand and plays them the turn after, and generates and plays and generates and plays (while the Medivh minion is long dead only 15/130 lives but this generation is totally independent from that minion), the minions are similar that Medivh summons in your game 7:16 but the generation happens in his hand automatically p.s.: beat after 5th tries when this hand generation did not happen for some reason
You are not alone. I lost against medivh several times because of the mercs he plays from hand. When he uses the spell that creates copies but when the board is full, copies are added to his hand. I don’t think this is an intended mechanism, most likely a bug.
Passed all the heroic bosses. Medivh and Malchesar are the most difficult. Stack of fire did not take them). Have you noticed that the heroic mode has become too simple? It used to be much more difficult (black mountain, alterac). And now everything is from the first time. Sometimes from the second.
started this game a few weeks ago grinded everything up and i m getting so enraged by this peep trash mobs getting to a boss or killing my ragnaros or balinda even sniping my baron sometimes. I m getting to the point to leave blizzard yet again.Wich i did years ago i m to the point where i want to bich slap them in the face with a chair !!!!!!

But does that complete the bounty?
@@gfunk449 As long as you have mercs on your bench it does, so just make sure to send the merc with that treasure out first.
And if you have Mukla with Monstrous heart and health boosting bananas the bounty will never end!
Just be patient. It takes a few rounds of the AOE even after everything is at 0 for it to resolve. Don't concede!
Accidento bizarro! Tutto morte!
Worked perfectly on first try, even though I was too slow on clearing the summoned copies due to their damage mitigation treasure.
Thank you!

I tried it with murlocs. Got Assassinate on old murk-eye, and when i got to the boss.. he assassinated Medivh. so.. yeah. that was a piece of cake.
Murloc comp was a breeze, thanks! Getting Lucky Fin several times, but the Croak and Dagger treasure (fills board with 20/50 Watfins) made this comp way op. Arcane Anomaly went down in the first turn. Win took about 5 turns total, didn't lost a single murloc.
I also did this with nature: malfurion anacondra brukan guff cookie
For me the Shadow comb worked well, maybe not a super fast climb but it was a rather save boss fight. Finished it with full health
I found Shadow to be the easiest too. I just wrote a lengthy comment to provide some details.
in both examples, balinda has the treasure to buff elements' health. Can't do the bounty without that treasure? Otherwise, the water element dies on that first attack already.

This is very rng. Murky was down in the second turn and the frost elemental died in the first turn
Thanks so much. Great Guide!
Definitely the best new bounty. It's so fun.
GJ, TY xD
Slower climb, but I solved this one w dragons: opened the boss w Onyxia, Sinestra, Yu’lon, brought in Nefarian when Yu’lon died. Had Long’xin & Medivh on the bench. Slow, but smooth 🤌
Nemsy, cho and chi Ji is very strong with DMG reduction, taunt and healing. Slow at times but no deaths
I did this with holy comp
I actually didn't know this was a difficult bounty, it was the first one I did
i dont understand, this boss works differently to me i tried your tactics twice and was not able to beat, i can kill the left guy in turn 1, i can kill Medivh in turn 2 but then the boss starts generating cards into his hand and at the end of the turn and he plays it from hand every turn, these cards are copies (with lower stats) of my minions, if i kill them it generates another 3 in his hand and plays them the turn after, and generates and plays and generates and plays (while the Medivh minion is long dead only 15/130 lives but this generation is totally independent from that minion), the minions are similar that Medivh summons in your game 7:16 but the generation happens in his hand automatically

Nature comp with Nemsy, Malf, Guff, Brukan , Cookie and Medivh-easy climb
fun fact THIS DOESN'T WORK.
Hi Old Guardian I solve this Quest with Drek Thar Trigor Galvangar Bench Thrall Maestra + mediv

nice work ty ;)
Genius
If you can get Windfury on your Xuen it is almost funny.
