The Construct Quarter wing of Hearthstone's Curse of Naxxramas adventure, but using decks made out of only level 1 basic cards. If I can win with a deck this bad, so can you! Not only that, but the Construct Quarter ups the challenge to the point where it's not an easy stomp with the same Priest deck we used prior.

In the Construct Quarter of Curse of Naxxramas, we face off against Patchwerk, Grobbulus, Gluth, and Thaddius. For beating them you can win the following cards respectively: Undertaker, Mad Scientist, Zombie Chow, and Wailing Soul. And for defeating all four bosses and completing this wing of the adventure, you unlock the legendary cards Feugan and Stalagg.

Here are the full and complete deck lists of the level 1 free basic decks I used in the video. Always remember that these are not necessarily the most effective, but they work for me and Hearthstone requires luck and RNG as much as it does skill.

Patchwerk Warrior Deck:

Goldshire Footman
Stonetusk Boar
Voodoo Doctor
Fiery Waraxe
Heroic Strike
Acidic Swamp Ooze
Bloodfen Raptor
Bluegill Warrior
Frostwolf Grunt
Charge
Magma Rager
Raid Leader
Shattered Sun Cleric
Wolfrider
Reckless Rocketeer

Note: Doubles of each card.

Patchwerk Strategy: Patchwerk attacks you with his 5/8 weapon Hook each turn. My Warrior deck counters this by having a few cheap taunts to take some hits early on or at least absorb his hero power and allow your stronger minions to survive and deal damage (he will prefer to target taunts with the hero power). Thus we can counter his rush by our own rush. Since his hero power kills minions instantly, health is meaningless. Choose minions with high attack that can deal a lot of damage. Charge is good because it allows minions to do something before being killed.

Grobbulus Druid Deck:

Innervate
Claw
Mark Of The Wild
Wild Growth
Bloodfen Raptor
Healing Touch
Shattered Sun Cleric
Chillwind Yeti
Gnomish Inventor
Sen'jin Shieldmasta
Stormwind Knight
Darkscale Healer
Gurubashi Berserker
Boulderfist Ogre
Stormwind Champion

Note: Doubles of all cards.

Grobbulus Strategy: The big threat with Grobbulus is his 5-mana 2-card combo of Echoing Ooze and Mutating Injection which resulting on two 5/6 creatures with taunt. If this happens to you on turn 5 it's nearly impossible to deal with (Mage would have some answers with Fireball and Polymorph however). My deck's strategy revolves around big, healthy minions to make Grobbulus's hero power less useful. Gurubashi Berserker in particular benefits from it. We establish a strong board and hope he doesn't have the combo in hand on turn 5. Each passing turn afterwards it becomes easier and easier to deal with. This way, an early Wild Growth or an Innervate can be great for developing the board in such a way that you can prevent the combo from screwing you.

Gluth Paladin Deck:

Light's Justice
Blessing of Might
Hand of Protection
Elven Archer
Acidic Swamp Ooze
Bloodfen Raptor
Novice Engineer
Magma Rager
Shattered Sun Cleric
Wolfrider
Hammer of Wrath
Stormwind Knight
Booty Bay Bodyguard
Lord of the Arena Stormwind Champion

Note: Doubles of all cards.

Gluth Strategy: The danger with Gluth is his weapon that gains buffs from deathrattles going off. Acidic Swamp Ooze is a direct counter to this, so it's great to keep if you have it in the mulligan. It may be wise to hold on to it and play it only when a weapon has actually been buffed, but eliminating one weapon before it is buffed is okay as well. The deck also features Stormwind Champion because it offers an "aura" style buff to all your minions. This means even after Gluth's hero power, all your minions will have 2 health. Elven Archer is good for taking advantage of his hero power and eliminating creatures cheaply. The aggro-taunt minions like Lord of the Arena and Booty Bay Bodyguard are good for when Gluth has a buffed weapon and no board. They deal a large amount of face damage and prevent you from getting hit at the same time.

Thaddius Priest Deck:

Holy Smite
Power Word: Shield
Northshire Cleric
Shadow Word: Pain
Acidic Swamp Ooze
Shattered Sun Cleric
Chillwind Yeti
Oasis Snapjaw
Sen'jin Shieldmasta
Stormwind Knight
Darkscale Healer
Gurubashi Berserker
Boulderfist Ogre
Stormwind Champion

Note: Doubles of all cards.

Thaddius Strategy: It's probably ideal to use minions with similar health and attack values so that the switching isn't too problematic. The main gimmick with this fight is Thaddius's hero power which happens every turn and switches the health and attack of all minions. Once you get used to playing around that, you can easily take control of the field. Remove Unbound Elementals as early as possible since Thaddius has quite a few removal cards with overload which can make it very scary very quickly. You can take advantage of the switching by killing enemy minions while having yours survive.
