Tips[]
- Normal and Heroic tactics work out to be roughly the same.
- Heigan's Eruption has no effect when your side has no minions, so minion-light decks work well.
- However, decks that have Deathrattle summon effects, such as
Nerubian Egg,
Haunted Creeper, and
Harvest Golem, work too.
- However, decks that have Deathrattle summon effects, such as
- The health-gaining effects of cards like
Stoneskin Gargoyle,
Questing Adventurer make them into effective shields.
- Voidcallers will summon Doomguards and Dread Infernals, so look out for those.
- Placing
Dreadsteed in the left-most position is recommended, because Eruption will be unable to kill it and thus protect the rest of your minions from the damage.

Lore[]
- Heigan the Unclean was the mastermind behind the magic of the cauldrons that quickly spread the undead plague through Lordaeron, corrupting not just the humans, but the flora and fauna in the area as well. The entire wilderness surrounding Lordaeron is now referred to as “the Plaguelands”—thanks in no small part to Heigan’s handiwork.[1]
In World of Warcraft
Heigan the Unclean was a raid boss in the World of Warcraft Naxxramas raid. The infamous "dance boss", mastering the fight against Heigan required learning the steps to his diabolical dance, with movement and position key to defeating him. Extensive player-made tutorials were created to illustrate the phases and rhythm of the encounter.
- "Observe, Heigan the Unclean. The mastermind behind the plague cauldrons that turned the wilderness of Azeroth into the Plaguelands. It is said that Heigan has rigged the very walls and floors of Naxxramas itself with a vast array of traps, which he can trigger at will."
- — Commander Eligor Dawnbringer
