Strategy
Archmage Kalec's hero power will increase every time he uses it. Your best option at winning is to build a board and at the same time, deter him from using it. You can do this by forcing him to answer whatever you put on the board to drains his mana to below 2. However, you should try and end it quickly if you have the opportunity. If you delay too much, his spell damage inevitably snowball and become unmanagable, destroying any minion you throw at him and bursting your health down with high-damage, single target spells.

Taking any health boost, having this specific encounter in mind, is desirable. It could be Potion of Vitality, First Aid Kit passives, Good Food in the Tavern. Witch's Brew can heal your characters fully, if you can reduce its Cost to zero. Nozari is also a card you should consider drafting, because Kalec can deal a lot more damage that you have Health.
