Didn't actually work in the order the original strat was written in, but this 3 pet combo did actually still work

9.1 I got this to work but the strat needs to be tweaked. I don't know if Eyeblast used to have no CD or anything, but you can't use it 2x in a row now. I had my magic broom as the third pet for insurance (Mech attack vs beast) and still came out ahead

I've had success with this Strategy:
Turn 1: Pass - your Mini Mindslayer is forced in
Turn 2: Inner Vision
Turn 3: Eyeblast
Turn 4: Life Exchange
Turn 5: Inner Vison - Forced swap to Servant of Demidos
Turn 6: Lightning Shield
Turn 7: Siphon Anima
Turn 8: Magic Sword or if swapped to Blood Boil Diseased Bite

Didnt work quite as described with cooldown on eyeblast - so I just used innervision on round 3 to get max out of the life exchange, otherwise almost followed the above

Eyeblast has a 4 round cooldown and is not able to be cast back to back (turns 3 & 4).

Mostly works in SL! Don't pass on Turn 2, go ahead on to Inner Vision + Eyeblast. Then it worked just fine. Third pet didn't attack, so there's some wiggle room too.

For those without Demidos: you can use Broom 2-2-2 instead.

Turn 6: Wind-up
Turn 7: Wind-up
Turn 8: Batter

When Broom dies, Bucky has around 150-200 hp to be finished by your slot 1 pet.

I didn't have Servant of Demidos, and a good number of players may not, so I tried an alternative strategy that worked well with Shimmering Wrymling, Minifernal, and Netherspace Abyssal. Successful in 5/5 attempts.

Start with Shimmering Wyrmling
Deflection
Amplify Magic
Feedback
Feedback
Deflection
Switch to Netherspace Abyssal
Meteor Strike to avoid Void Gate
Explode
Switch to your Minifernal
Immolate
Explode (that and immolate dot should kill Bucky)
If necessary, Deflection on 1st turn to let immolate burn him down.

geil, kann man sogar mit Leveln, da das erste Tierchen (auch mit Level 1) in Runde 1 nicht stirbt (aufgrund des magischen Familienbonus)
bringt aber nicht allzu viele EXP

Found on wowhead. Has a small chance to fail. Give it a few try.
You need a Trunks (2/1/2), Minfernal(2/1/2)*must be higher health than the broom, Enchant Broom (2/1/2)

Trunks is First
- Ethereal
- Avalanche
- Smash until Trunks is Dead

Minfernal comes out
- Immolate
- Explode

Broom comes out
- Wind-up
- Windup
- Batter if needed
