BG Know-How

“Welcome to my tavern, friends. Enjoy your stay!”

Standard Compositions: Undeads

These different compositions are meant to display proven setups to strive for, for the very end game (top 4 and above). In general one of the seven slots will be the 'flex' spot, used to cycle new minions during the tavern rounds. Therefore, your actual board will rarely be as perfect as these listed here. Of course as many minions as possible should be tripled (the exception being minions with Divine Shield or Venomous) and buffed with Reborn, Venomous, Divine Shield or Taunt.

If you got a build that buffs multiple minions via Lightfang Enforcer, One-Amalgam Tour Group, or Tea Master Theotar, the ideal cards you should be looking for should have a special effect such as Cleave or Divine Shield. Alternatively look for unique effects like Impulsive Trickster or Wildfire Elemental. But in general, just buff any card. Don't roll for the ideal, it can cost you the game to desperately try to find them. You want to scale early, not later.

Also primary support units like Brann and Drakkari Enchanter will usually be tossed for the very last fights, but are sometimes displayed here when being integral to the setup. If one of your units is lacking, it is also often beneficial to replace it with a Leeroy the Reckless or a Interrogator Whitemane, before a deciding fight.




All available Undeads and Undead-associated minions

Undead shine with many Reborn and Deathrattle effects, usually providing you more minions than your opponents. They are able to buff the attack of every Undead permanently and the minion Disguised Graverobber provides a unique way to alter and buff your warband. Prime Mate also helps in almost all of the builds.

Deathrattle Comp

Anub'arak, Nerubian KingMummifierCadaver CaretakerHandless ForsakenGhoul-acabraCatacomb CrasherTitus Rivendare

For this build you are trying to try do a few things. First, build attack from Anub'arak. Second, summon as much minions as you can to activate Catacomb Crasher's ability. And third, once you gain all the stats you can from Ghoul-acabra, replace him with other cards that will help summon a lot of minions. You could have Monsterous Macaw replace Anub'arak to summon a lot of cards from Caretaker to activate Catacomb Crasher's effect. Or you can use Deathly Striker to summon more minions.

Swarm Comp

Anub'arak, Nerubian KingCadaver CaretakerCadaver CaretakerDeathly StrikerWandering WightTitus RivendareCatacomb Crasher

This build is trying to take advantage of Deathly Striker and Wandering Wight's synergy. You are trying to summon as much minions as you can for Deathly Striker's avenge, and with the attack gained from Anub'arak, they should also have a lot of health from Wandering Wight's ability. The tough part really is hoping attacks go right during combat. Just make sure you know who to taunt, and how to order the cards properly.
