Notes

Normal mode

Since The Magic Mirror so far has not been shown to use any non-collectible cards, its strength lies in its hero power only. It will summon minions with Spell Damage and other spell-related abilities and combine them with several cheap spells like Wrath Wrath Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Druid Rarity: Common Cost: 2 Abilities: Choose One, Deal damage, Draw cards Choose One - Deal 3 damage to a minion; or 1 damage and draw a card.The talk hearthstone and Arcane Missiles Arcane Missiles Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Mage Cost: 1 Abilities: Deal damage Tags: Random Deal 3 damage randomly split among all enemies.You d think you d be able to control your missiles a little better since hearthstone . You can tackle this encounter by including cards that hamper spell use, like Loatheb, or you can use its hero power against it. Any minion with powerful non-battlecry abilities shines in this fight (battlecries are not copied by the Mirror, as the minion is summoned, not played). In general, abilities are more important in this encounter than raw power. There are many ways of abusing the Mirror`s hero power and achieving victory should not be a problem.

Heroic mode

In Heroic mode, the Magic Mirror will still summon 1/1 copies of every minion played. The difference is that they will always spawn on the Mirror`s side. This means that players need to do the exact opposite of what they did in Normal Mode: Prioritize raw minion power over fancy abilities. Your deck should include no abilities that the Mirror can make use of. This means no Ragnaros, no Sylvanas or the likes. Instead, Yetis and Ogres are the way to go. Also, minions with detrimental non-battlecry abilities are worth considering, especially Deathlord. Another way of bypassing the Mirror`s ability is to play spells that put minions into play, like Power of the Wild or the Karazhan portals.

The Mirror will play a lot of Mage Secrets in Heroic Mode. Including anti-Secret cards can be a great asset. Also, anti-spell cards like Loatheb are still very valuable. And, of course, area-of-effect spells help clear out the copied minions. Mind Control Tech can be useful as well.

All things considered, the Druid is a strong class for this encounter. They have access to cost-efficient minions and the means to put them into play early and they have Swipe Swipe Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Druid Cost: 4 Abilities: Deal damage Tags: Area of effect Deal 4 damage to an enemy and 1 damage to all other enemies.When a bear rears back and extends hearthstone , an area-of-effect spell exceptionally useful in this battle. They also have Moonglade Portal and Darnassus Aspirant, a minion very detrimental to the Mirror while not dangerous for the Druid themself. And at long last, the Druid`s hero power takes out many copied minions.

Another highly effective way of defeating the Mirror is to build a Priest deck which contains minions that are unable to attack normally, such as Ancient Watcher, Eerie Statue, Silithid Swarmer, and Argent Watchman. Since the Mirror does not have access to Silence or Weapons himself, and because the Hero Power is passive, you can fill up the Mirror`s board with minions which it won`t be able to attack with. Priests can also silence their own minions with Silence and Purify, as well as neutralising any weaker enemy minions that get played with Power Word: Glory. With the Mirror unable to deal damage to your hero without healing it, you can simply wait for it to draw its entire deck and eventually succumb to Fatigue.

You shouldn`t use cards that Silence the Mirror`s copies of your minions, like Mass Dispel, unless their attack value becomes zero (Nerubian Egg, Shieldbearer, etc.); since doing so will restore the copies to their full strength.

The Grim Patron can also be used to great effect in this fight because of its synergy with the Mirror`s Spell Damage-enhanced Arcane Missiles Arcane Missiles Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Mage Cost: 1 Abilities: Deal damage Tags: Random Deal 3 damage randomly split among all enemies.You d think you d be able to control your missiles a little better since hearthstone cards, Flamewaker Flamewaker Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Minion Class: Mage Rarity: Rare Cost: 3 Attack: 2 Health: 4 Abilities: Deal damage Tags: Random, Spell-related, Triggered effect After you cast a spell, deal 2 damage randomly split among hearthstone , and the large number of 1/1 enemy minions.

The most important thing is not to let the Mirror`s Hero Power scare you. It sounds unfair at first, but if you build your deck correctly, it will not be of much use to the Mirror - in fact, you can still use it to your advantage. Also, the Mirror still mostly uses collectible cards, which means that is does not have cards as blatantly overpowered as other heroic bosses. Thus, this fight is actually deceptively easy.

Mind Control Tech will trigger even when the Mirror has only 3 minions because its Battlecry is resolved after the mirror`s copy is created.
