The suggested class for defeating Instructor Razuvious in heroic mode is priest. Your main goal is to steal the Massive Runeblade with [[Thoughtsteal]] or [[Mind Vision]]. To stabilize and survive until then you may run [[Divine Spirit]] and [[Inner Fire]] due to its synergy with the Understudies, and [[Acidic Swamp Ooze]] to destroy the Massive Runeblade, making it less effective. You also want to run any relatively cheap [[taunt]]s, so you don't take 20 damage if Razuvious kills the Understudies. Note that Razuvious runs [[Brawl]] and [[The Black Knight]] so don't make plays that are weak against these cards. Always remember that Razuvious can deal 24 damage from hand with Massive Runeblade and [[Unbalancing Strike (Heroic)|Hero Power]] if you have no taunts on the field. If you are able to steal the Massive Runeblade, you probably win, along with extra damage from Inner Fired Understudies, [[Mind Blast]] and [[Holy Fire]].

Strategy

You start the game with NaxxramasMind Control Crystal in hand.

Heroic mode

The main reason why this boss is challenging is his Massive Runeblade, which he has 4 copies of in his deck. The Understudies are given to you to hold until the moment when you can fight back. Freeze effects can also be useful for preventing him from swinging with the Runeblade.

The suggested class for defeating Instructor Razuvious in heroic mode is priest. Your main goal is to steal the Massive Runeblade with LegacyThoughtsteal or LegacyMind Vision. To stabilize and survive until then you may run LegacyDivine Spirit and LegacyInner Fire due to its synergy with the Understudies, and LegacyAcidic Swamp Ooze to destroy the Massive Runeblade, making it less effective. You also want to run any relatively cheap taunts, so you don't take 20 damage if Razuvious kills the Understudies. Note that Razuvious runs LegacyBrawl and LegacyThe Black Knight so don't make plays that are weak against these cards. Always remember that Razuvious can deal 24 damage from hand with Massive Runeblade and Hero Power if you have no taunts on the field. If you are able to steal the Massive Runeblade, you probably win, along with extra damage from Inner Fired Understudies, LegacyMind Blast and LegacyHoly Fire.

Descent of DragonsKobold Stickyfinger allows you to swipe an equipped Massive Runeblade. Three hits will kill Razuvious, which can easily be achieved by using Descent of DragonsHoard Pillager to re-equip your stolen Runeblade.

Lore

Curse of Naxxramas

Instructor Razuvious is the trainer of the Death Knights, the fiercest and most loyal of the Lich King’s servants. His strikes are sure and deadly, and it is rumored that only students under his tutelage can withstand even a single blow of his deadly runeblade.[1]

In World of Warcraft

"Pay attention. This is Instructor Razuvious, Kel'Thuzad's appointed trainer of all death knights. It is said that his own technique is so potent, only a disciple of his could possibly withstand his might."
- Commander Eligor Dawnbringer

History

Instructor Razuvious was originally intended to be a collectible reward from the Curse of Naxxramas adventure. He was designed as a 5 Mana 8/8 minion with the effect "At the start of your turn, summon a 2/2 Understudy with Taunt for your opponent.".[2]

Senior UI Designer Derek Sakamoto shared the following unused flavor text for Instructor Razuvious:

"Instructor Razuvious: After tutoring and subbing at many death knight academies, he finally got a full-time position in the Military Quarter."[3]
