@legend knight: The problem with making bosses more difficult simply by making their AI harder and smarter while retaining their default decks are that it presents coding difficulties when this game is already lamentably understaffed. Although it is valid for you to think of making bosses stronger by bolstering their decks as being a frustrating solution, there are ways of taking down these bosses. They can be challenging to be sure especially if you get unlucky, but I find conventional defensive strategies using some of the stronger Ice, Earth, Neutral, or Light characters can get the job done.
Another method I've found effective for dealing with bosses is to equip a low-levelled (ideally 1 or 2) character before reaching the boss room and knock out its HP before it has a chance to act. Certain Shadow, Lightning, and Fire characters can be particularly good for this, especially with CC's. Of particular help is Neutral 525 (or 515 depending on what you have, it's essentially free damage since you start off with 4 Neutral energy regardless of your main element). If you're using a Fire character and have CC Incinerate, that would help a lot too.
@Megadragonknight: Getting a ShadowFire and 3 Sacrifice in the same hand, however, is not possible with or without luck because you can not have that combination of cards in the same deck, albeit in the same hand. You do make a good list of highly offensive characters and of those characters I have Evil Jim, Mana Guardian, and Volt Engineer at Level 20 myself and very much appreciate them (I didn't bother with Abyssal Priest and Hex Void because frankly I consider their decks worse than Volt Engineer's and not worth the time or SG's). However, these characters are what could be referred to as "glass cannons", in that they have to pay for their considerable offense by being quite vulnerable defensably. For this reason, I personally prefer characters that have both offensive and defensive capabilities such as Taurus, Cosoma Titan, Queen Aegea, Dire Monk, and Poison Drake. For as the old saying goes, sometimes the best offense is a good defense.
