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

Strategy
Obviously, since this boss turns your loss into his gain, one way to defeat him on Heroic is with a very late deck (one with expensive but durable minions) combined with a lot of damaging spells. A suggestion for preferred classes would be druid or mage. Remember that the Black Knight's battlecry will destroy your Taunt.

Alternatively, making use of a low-minion control deck such as Miracle rogue should give you an edge against his passive Hero Power. Do however be careful about running Assassin's Blade or keeping a weapon with Deadly Poison, due to the Skeletal Smith's Deathrattle. The boss starts with 45 Health making it a tighter fit for the Miracle deck.
