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

Strategy
Each turn, Xur'Goth's Hero Power corrupts a random card in your hand. With this in mind, it's recommended to mulligan for 1, 2 and 3 cost cards to circumvent its effects in the early game. Cards like Spymistress, Bamboozle and Hunter's Pack. More often or not, the corrupted cards can be played right off the bat. Otherwise, focus on more impactful cards as the situation would call for. Don't forget to use your Hero Power to replenish your hand. Focus first on controlling the board and progress towards killing the 4 Demons required to free Shalja, Outcast. When awakened, you can make use of her to secure the board while quickly rushing her down with your other minions.
