Is there a way to help Speaker Gidra survive on board long enough to get full value from Survival of the Fittest with her Spellburst? Yes, a few actually! The experiments this time focused on using Robes of Protection in a Guardian Animals shell alongside Kael'thas Sunstrider to keep her alive for a turn so that she'd be able to do a full 30 damage to the opponent once we cast Survival of the Fittest on her.

Of course, if you can cast the first copy of Survival of the Fittest before dropping Speaker Gidra, she has a much better chance of surviving on board, especially alongside Robes of Protection, but if she's hiding behind a Teacher's Pet or another minion you cast Ironbark on before dropping Robes of Protection, that is often enough to ensure she survives against any direct removal spell.

We did win about 60% of games, but it was quite the challenge to keep Speaker Gidra alive on board to complete the combo even with Robes of Protection as Bomb Warriors were running Bladestorm and surprisingly, we encountered Priests using Plague of Death... However, we did have some really fun games and managed to pull off the combo a few times.
