Long Time no Post lol
Hey all I have been back playing Hearthstone again for the last month or so after at least a 3-6month absence.
I am currently on the 2nd area of Blackrock mountain and am building up gold for 3rd. I have defeated 5 out of the 6 bosses in Heroic mode already as well but the one I am having issues with is Barron Geddon.
Anyone have a few tips on which Hero is best to use or strategy vs this guy? He is such a pain in the but with 50 HP+Armor AND the fact that you dare not leave any mana in your pool. Plus overextending is a bad thing as he has that enchantment for 3mana that will wipe your board by doing 10 damage unless you can immediately kill the thing off.
PS Hate this weeks Brawl as well.

I don't remember how I defeated him (I also don't remember having trouble against him, must've been lucky), so I can't give your any tips aside from this link. Hearthpwn is a fan community site which covers everything from strategies to pro tips. If you want you can use some of their suggested decks as a base for your deck (if you don't have every listed card for instance).
Why do you not like this weeks Tavern Brawl? I find it the best, and my friends have the same impression. I play 3/4 of TB's only for the pack and that's it, while I play this one a lot. I wouldn't mind if it stayed forever, as an alternative for Arena (some extra prizes maybe?). It's a perfect, cost-free way to try some of the new cards, which is probably the idea behind the fact that it's a repeated TB.

Wow not sure why you don't remember a boss that basically has 100hp (50/50 HP and Armor) and who deal 10 damage to you for free if you have ANY mana left in your pool (MTG term but you get the point). He also has a creature curse that if your guy is still alive at the beginning of the turn deals 10 damage to everything on your side including yourself. Basically he plays it on his turn for 3 mana, you get a turn, then he does, now your creature blows everything to hell.
As for the TB this week the decks are basically nothing but creature fests and it gets quite annoying after a bit. I like to be able to do some synergy between things not just play nothing but creatures. I have only played it about 3 times but I noticed that at least 6/7 cards I drew were just creatures.

Because it was some time ago I guess. Though it rings the bell a little...

That one was actually a bug. Decks had no spells in them. They fixed it so now you can also get some spells in them. One of the best things about this TB is that you can get multiple copies of cards. Two Varian Wrynn's? Why not? Or at one time I had 4 Sea Revers on board for instance...

Now that's a complex statement 
Too early to say. For now I don't see it making much of an impact. Aggros like FaceH are still all over the place and I didn't see any completely re-hauled decks.
Totem Shaman seems like a nice deck which I would like to try but I still lack practically every important card for it Thanks to Varian I've been trying a really heavy control Warrior deck (with around eight 8+ mana minions) and it's a lot of fun. Like I mentioned earlier I also tried some new Rouge cards with quite good results.
Actually though, aside from Varian (who I crafted), I don't have any of the really good cards from TGT (seems I don't have much luck with packs) so I'm a bit limited for now (meaning I can try some of the new archetypes). Have to wait and see I guess...

So I went on and crafted Archmage Antonidas instead, lol. I just pondered and pondered and it was the card I most wanted. Have to wait for TGT legendaries a bit more ;P

I am playing Dragon Priest 
Totem Shaman is sooo difficult to beat. I can't deal with so many totems, lol. Fun nevertheless!
Edit: Oh how I wish I had crafted Ysera I love playing with Nefarian because the ability is so cool, but it loses me games because someones got "the beast in his sights" *sigh* But I don't want to play with Chromaggus, it is boring to me. I'd rather lose some games
But Ysera... ohh, I have 1600 dust to go xD
Edit 2: Just after writing that I am getting trolled by Nefarian with new TGT spells.. Astral Communion! Yeah I want to discard my entire hand for no mana gain, thanks. Bestial Wrath (immunity sounds nice, oh but I seem not to have beasts!).. and least but not last, I got myself not one but two copies of DEMONFUSE. Read and weep :"Give a Demon +3/+3. Give your opponent a Mana Crystal"

Ohh, I've got a better one: Blade Flurry for Priest :/
And craft that Ysera! She's a Dragon for gods sake! And aside from Varian, nothings a must-have in TGT.
PS: I always wondered why Bestial Wrath + King Krush turn 10 is not a thing...

Ok I eventually changed Nefarian into Chromaggus. I knew that running only one over 7 attack card in a deck is bad. Either run 0 or run 2 or more. Never only one. Thanks to BGH.
Anyway Chromaggus is not that bad at all in Dragon Priest. Most of my cards are actually high value cards unlike in previous Priest decks all the cards were combo pieces and not worth duplicating at all. But now? I got 2 Azure Drakes, 2 Velens Chosens, and even 2 Sylvanas
Granted Chromaggus sucks against aggro but so does Nefarian, so nothing really changed there. I can't help but feeling that Nefarian simply is a bad card. And I hate to say that about a notorious Dragon 
Change BGH already, make him 4 mana at least!

Could you share the deck? I really wanna try it out.
@Minion
I agree Nefarian is a fun card and a great character, but not that great a card in the meta. :/
@blob
I hear you. I am not getting any great cards. So I am going back to grinding gold for Arena, because I only really enjoy arena.

Here is how I did it: zoo deck with all 4 panda's. If someone gets cursed you remove it with a panda (or an owl) and starting on turn 10 you can always fill all your mana by doing panda juggling. And just have the typical low zoo curve so you can use all your mana efficiently. Of course snowty hands can happen, but just restart. It's important you keep panda's to juggle the cursed guys (owls are a good idea too) and to do the full mana usage thing every turn on turn 8 and 10 and ever turn past 10

What cards do you refer to by "panda"? I think your talking about the Youthful and Ancient Brewmasters that have the "Return a friendly minion from the battlefield to your hand." ability but cannot see why they would get such a name.
Also do "Zoo" decks all use Hunter Hero?
Please if you also have a link to a decklist for a good zoo deck I would appreciate it.

Zoo decks is also a term for warlock decks.
It involves a lot of low cost minions.

Yes, I meant both brewmasters. I call them pandas because that's what they are.
They are so good, because you can play youthful
brew youthful back with another youthful
brew that youthful back with the first youthful
etc etc etc
congratulations, you spent 10 mana without losing a single card.
The idea is that you never let living bomb or his passive hit you. Because without those things he actually has a reasonably bad deck.
I remember doing it with a warlock deck, but this priest deck I found has the same idea as my warlock deck, so here you go. I full endorse this deck: Priest versus Geddon.
Brewmasters just so genius because they deal with both his passive and his living bomb.

Like I said, from what I have so nothin particular exotic.
I usually keep my Buccaneers ( in hand ) so i have at least 1, maybe 2 turns where my opponant still tries to zoom in on my deck type. And as always ( in my opinion ) keep your cannons alive
Ogre Ninja ? - well I have always been a fan of those Ogres and their unpredicted attack(s)
But this deck is more than capable of getting to rankEDIT 15 EDIT and lower without too much "1 win 2 losses" nonsense.
