Strategy
Doom Lord Kazzak, the first of many bosses in the Trial By Felfire challenges.

Empowered by his Twisted Reflections, he restores 5 Health each time one of your minions die. With that in mind, constant chip damage isn't as effective. Instead, one should either accumulate a wide board or the means for an OTK. Additionally, it's recommended that you use decks with less or no minions; Zoo decks can struggle here, because of the variety of AoE spells Kazzak has (namely Hellfire, Felfire Potion and DOOM!). Decks such as Spell Mage, Buff Priest and even Big Druid can work here.

Spell Mage

With little to no minions, Kazzak cannot benefit as much from his Hero Power, though one must maintain board control as much as possible while whittling down Kazzak. Be sure to make your spells with Freeze count, and if possible, only use The Amazing Reno in the biggest enemy board possible, or when absolutely necessary.

Buff Priest

Alternatively, a Buff Priest deck is just as serviceable. With ample healing and control options, you should have enough opportunity to develop your board and buff your minions. Do be wary of the AoE spells mentioned above; unless you have other options, it will be hard to take back control over the board.

Big Druid

If you can build up Mana fast enough, Big Druid decks can also decimate Kazzak because of his lack of control options. Do be prepared to rebuild your board the moment he plays DOOM! (he can only ever play it once.). Ensure that you have enough healing to sustain yourself before you assume board control.
