Strategy[edit | edit source]
If you don't defeat this boss before turn 7-8 thanks to your own tempo and Zafarr's Generous Mummy, then highly likely the battle will proceed to fatigue. This is due to often resurrections of Khartut Defender and Wrapped Golem with his hero power, and a lot of other taunts and spells providing powerful protection. So be prepared that most of your minions will die at trades during a long battle. In both modes try to play without Crawling Claw and Staff of Scales, if you have picked these treasures. Kill High Priest Amet as quickly as possible, otherwise he will increase Zafarr's hero power. Both on normal and heroic difficulty besides Glyph of Warding also Crook and Flail will help perfectly, if you have a lot of big minions.
In Normal mode killing Zafarr before his constantly resurrecting Bone Wraith or Khartut Defender can be done with a fairly aggressive deck and boss' Generous Mummy. He may kill her with Wretched Reclaimer and reduce a cost of your cards even more. During a long battle, you can wait a little and then narrow the pool of killed minions by stealing them with Addarah, Entomb or turning them into other minions using Hex, Scales of Justice etc. Also don't forget about Zafarr's removals - Shadow Word: Death and Entomb.
In Heroic mode Zafarr has several AoE and more options for summoning Taunt minions (Barnes, Psychopomp and others). This significantly complicates the possibility of quick victory, so if you are set up for this, it is unlikely to achieve it without Silence effects and other elimination of minions without activating their deathrattles. Also, if possible, don't leave your minions with 1 HP if you aren't sure they won't die from Spirit Lash.
