Starting at Gothik`s Turn 3, you might see a single Abomination Abomination Set: Classic Type: Minion Rarity: Rare Cost: 5 Attack: 4 Health: 4 Abilities: Deal damage, Deathrattle, Taunt Tags: Area of effect Taunt. Deathrattle: Deal 2 damage to ALL characters.Abominations enjoy Fresh Meat and long hearthstone (or in the rare case, a coined Unrelenting Rider         The subject of this article is part of the           Curse of Naxxramas adventure Unrelenting Rider Set: Naxxramas Type: Minion Cost: 6 Attack: 5 Health: 6 Abilities: Deathrattle, Summon Deathrattle: Summon a Spectral Rider for your hearthstone ). The mid-game strategy is to turn Gothik`s tricks against him by stealing cards or minions via Thoughtsteal Thoughtsteal Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Priest Rarity: Common Cost: 3 Abilities: Copy, Generate Tags: Random Copy 2 cards from your opponent s deck and put them into your hand."What do you get when you cast hearthstone , Shadow Madness, or Mind Control Tech.

As you start to run low on cards and hit-points, it becomes imperative to get rid of the ghosts that are leeching from you. Increase their attack power via Sergeants, Dark Iron Dwarves, or the spectacular Inner Fire Inner Fire Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Priest Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Change a minion s Attack to be equal to its Health.Good idea: Buffing your minions. Bad idea: Starting a conversation in the Barrens.See this hearthstone , then hurl them into the Abominations! Chained Abom and Ghoul explosions will clear the board for low personal cost. Alternatively, the addition of Youthful or Ancient Brewmasters to the deck will give you the options of replaying Sunfuries and Arguses - or stuffing the ghosts into your hand, where they can do no harm.

The final spaces of the deck can be padded with whatever you enjoy most. Cabal Shadow Priests can turn 14 of Gothik`s creatures over to your side, but tend to compete with Holy Fire Holy Fire Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Priest Rarity: Rare Cost: 6 Abilities: Deal damage, Restore Health Deal 5 damage. Restore 5 Health to your hero.Often followed by Holy Smokes!See this card on Hearthpwn data hearthstone on the critical Turn 6. A good substitute may be Big Game Hunter, who has no natural targets, but can combo with the power-boosting minions you are already using. Also, four attack tends to be just the right amount in most circumstances.

Thanks to his reckless card drawing, Gothik gets out of cards quickly. After surviving his attacks, you can wait at ease for him to die from fatigue. Another way to win would be to get a Spectral Warrior or Spectral Rider on your board, then use Divine Spirits and Inner Fires to damage Gothik.

Druid

Since the releaseAnnounce of Goblins vs Gnomes, an alternative strategy is to play a Mill Druid, to get the boss to draw his whole deck and die from fatigue even more quickly. Naturalize, Coldlight Oracle, Dancing Swords and Grove Tender will provide the draws, while Healing Touch, Lil` Exorcist (a very powerful card in this fight, given the number of Deathrattle minions in the boss` deck) and Tree of Life will help survivability. Goblin Sapper has a great chance to activate most of the time, which makes it able to kill any of Gothik`s minions or add some face damage. At long last, Poison Seeds can reset the board and get rid of Spectral minions.

Curse of Naxxramas

Gothik the Harvester, master of necromancy, teaches young Death Knights the power of summoning the undead to their aid. Even the most novice Death Knight can call the lifeless from their graves, thanks to Gothik’s dark and sinister techniques. Ghosts, ghouls, skeletons—none are safe from Gothik’s influence.

In World of Warcraft

From Wowpedia:

"Gothik, the Harvester. A master of necromancy and conjuration, Gothik is said to be able to beckon forth legions of the undead at a moment`s notice. It is with his guidance that even the weakest of Death Knights can raise the dead."
- Commander Eligor Dawnbringer

Trivia

Senior UI Designer Derek Sakamoto shared the following unused flavor text for Gothik the Harvester:

"Gothik the Harvester: He works overtime creating undead armies, all that beard conditioner doesn`t pay for itself."
