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

'''These decks correspond only to level 6 in Chapter 5. If this boss is encountered on levels 4-5, his deck will be missing 5 random cards.'''

Strategy
Xur'ios plays a standard mage spell deck. The only thing you have to worry about is the card he draws at the start and you have the advantage of him deciding not to play it. Simply play as normal by building up your board and deal with whatever he throws at you.

If he plays such cards as Bloodmage Thalnos, Loot Hoarder or Gadgetzan Auctioneer, kill them on your turn to prevent effect of his hero power. Otherwise with good draw he can easily cast a lot of 0-cost powerful spells like Cabalist's Tome, Firelands Portal or Power of Creation in one turn what would be fatal for you likely.
