Note that in Heroic mode, Gothik's deck features fewer of his less useful or synergistic cards, as well as fewer Unrelenting minions. In exchange the deck gains Undertakers and Deathchargers for a vastly improved early game, as well as more Abominations and Corruptions.

Tips[]

  • Fill up the board with minions so Gothik cannot summon one for you that does damage to you.
  • Heroic Gothic's hero power is auto-casting so he fatigues quickly. Use this to your advantage and try to outlast him.

Heroic

  • The most significant threats that you will face in this encounter take the form of out-of-control Undertakers, and the spurious Spectral army. All of these problems may be overcome by power-increasing effects and spot-removal, so in theory priest, shaman, or a focused warlock Zoo should do well.

Priest

  • In the early game, Gothik will play various 1-drops: NaxxramasUndertaker, NaxxramasDeathcharger, and NaxxramasUnrelenting Trainee.
  • Gothik may also coin an NaxxramasUnstable Ghoul against aggressive decks.
  • Starting at Gothik's Turn 3, you might see a single LegacyAbomination (or in the rare case, a coined NaxxramasUnrelenting Rider).
  • The mid-game strategy is to steal cards or minions via LegacyThoughtsteal, LegacyShadow Madness, or LegacyMind Control Tech. If stealing isn't an option, use targeted removal to obtain Spectrals and 'taunt up'.
  • As you start to run low on cards and hit-points, the priority is to remove the ghosts.
    • Increase their attack power and attack into the Abominations.
    • Chained Abomination and Ghoul Deathrattles will clear the board for low personal cost.
    • Alternatively, the addition of return to hand effects can help put the ghosts into your hand, where they can do no harm.
  • Thanks to his constant card drawing, Gothik gets out of cards quickly. After surviving his attacks, you can wait for him to die from fatigue.

Lore[]

Curse of Naxxramas

Gothik the Harvester, master of necromancy, teaches young Death Knights the power of summoning the undead to their aid. Even the most novice Death Knight can call the lifeless from their graves, thanks to Gothik’s dark and sinister techniques. Ghosts, ghouls, skeletons—none are safe from Gothik’s influence.[1]

Wowpedia iconThis section uses content from Wowpedia.
"Gothik, the Harvester. A master of necromancy and conjuration, Gothik is said to be able to beckon forth legions of the undead at a moment's notice. It is with his guidance that even the weakest of Death Knights can raise the dead."
- Commander Eligor Dawnbringer

Trivia[]

Senior UI Designer Derek Sakamoto shared the following unused flavor text for Gothik the Harvester:

"Gothik the Harvester: He works overtime creating undead armies, all that beard conditioner doesn't pay for itself."[2]
