Decks
The below classes are listed purely for reference, and have no effect on the boss' use of the cards during the battle.

Strategy
Because of the many secrets he uses, one viable strategy is to use Archmage Kalec (after another minion if he have a minion) to lower his health with Pyroblast and to use Luna's Pocket Galaxy very soon. This wont work for long, but will make your life easier for the rest of the boss fight and this strategy. Your goal is to kill all his minions as fast as you can, and Counterspell as much secrets as you can at the end. When he uses Aluneth, your goal will be to play Arcane Giant and Violet Warden, so he can't deal damage to your hero while he tries to kill them. Because of the great damage the two mentioned minions do above, he will not use durability of this staff, wich will lead him to get to many cards. Resulting to this, he will in a few turns be out of cards (because most drawn has been burned) and take a lot of damage (first turn 10 damage, second 26 damage and third 42 damage) Like that you'll be able to get rid of him in less than 3 turns, not including damage done before or with Archmage Kalec.
