3		dreamgarden	This team and most of the strategy was suggested by Jeack on another strat here: https://wow-petguide.com/Comment/37034 I changed a couple of steps to Unholy Ascension and Rabid Strike which helped increase the damage at the end. For reference, I used HP squirrel and BB Val'kyr.	Script	2	4.6	15	92 1:32	10-11
4		Dancinrain	I used H/H Spirit Crab, B/B Unborn Val'kyr & P/B Infected Squirrel. Make sure your UV has more health than Squirrel. If not, forfeit a random battle with just the squirrel to reduce the overall health.	Breed	2	5.0	2	77 1:17	9

3rd pet can be replaced by Irongrasp (I used P/P breed), 1/2/*. Mar'cuus died after applying black claw and using metal fist. Never needed turn 8+.

Another variation of UV + Squirrel:

Ghostly Skull x/x/2 (or second UV with Unholy Ascension)
Unborn Val'kyr x/2/1
Blighted Squirrel 2/x/2 (can be Infected Squirrel 2/2/2 if your Val'kyr is H/H)

1. Pass – your Unborn Val'kyr is forced in
2. Swap back to Ghostly Skull
3. Unholy Ascension
4. Pass – your Unborn Val'kyr is forced in
5. Curse of Doom
6. Haunt
7. Woodchipper (or Creeping Fungus)
8+. Stampede

Nice strat. I was worrying over not having the boneshard and this made it easy. Was questioning how it worked until everything hit. Was like "And there is goes." Thanks!

If using a 2nd UbV in slot 1, it has to be H/H breed. The B/B has 244sp and when Mar'cuus uses Prowl, its sp drops to 243 making Unholy Ascension go first and messing up the strat.
All 3 breeds of Ghostly Skull are fine, however.

I didn't have ghostly skull, so I kept Mr. Bigglesworth and I substituted Infected Squirrel for Blighted. Worked the first time like a charm and curse of doom didn't even go off

I don't have Boneshard, so I tried Shaelai's strategy with Infected Squirrel instead of Blighted, but the swaps never worked right. This is the one that worked for me. Thanks.

Castratia wrote on 2017-09-08 21:29:24

Used this because I don't have a Sen'jin Fetish. Only have one Blighted Squirrel, which has more HP than my Boneshard, so I had to put it in the first position in order to be damaged. Gave up the fight, switched Mr. Bigglesworth back to first position, and carried on as you suggest from there. Worked like a charm. Thanx.

Blighted squirrel, blue lvl 23 (dont recall breed), less health than boneshard, with creeping fungus and stampede worked wonders here.

From AeroKargath on wowhead:

Sen'jin Fetish (Destruction) X/2/2
Blighted Squirrel (P/S) X/X/2 (I imagine any undead with stampede would work just fine)
Unborn Val'kyr (Guardian) X/2/2

1-Sen'jin gets swapped out to Unborn
2-CoDoom
3-Unholy Ascenion
Swap in Squirrel
4-Squirrel swapped to Sen'jin
5-Wild Magic
6-Rot
7-Sen'jin swapped to squirrel (Sen'jin dies)
8-Stampede
9-Stampede (Mar'cuus dies)
