Kel'Thuzad was added in the Curse of Naxxramas Adventure. He is available from Wing 5 - The Frostwyrm Lair which opened on August 19th, 2014, and is obtained after defeating the adventure boss Kel'Thuzad.
Trivia
- Kel'Thuzad can abuse the AI in many PvE boss fights when combined with a Taunt minion - the AI has no idea how to handle it and ends their turn!
- His effect activates at the end of turn phase, which means minions who die from other end of turn effects such from those found on Ragnaros the Firelord and Power Overwhelming will not be resurrected by Kel'Thuzad.
- Minions are returned to the board in the order in which they died.

hmm i wonder if charge of treants with kel'thuzzad would keep the game in a loop at the end of turn
kel + reincarnate. Next turn use a deathwing and its over
The question more so is if the reincarnation brings him back to life, will it resummon minions that died with him.
Kel'Thuzad's ability triggers after each player's turn.

Will this card summon a minion with buffs it had? If I give my minion taunt through the Defender of Argus and it dies, it will be summoned with taunt or not?
By the way effect said "at the end of the turn". Should we read this like Gruul's "At the end of each turn"? If yes, it means that if druid has Ancient of War + some other taunts on the board and put Kel'Thuzad, it will be extremly difficult for opponent to win such game unless Hex/Silence. 6/8 stats are awesome, it can't be targeted by BGH.
Also, turn 9 Rogue Kel'Thuzad + Conceal, turn 10 Master of Disguise on Kel'Thuzad + Sunwalker. Setup for the win, your board can't be cleared unless some unusual things like Mass Dispell.
No it will originate in it's original/default form. This can be demonstrated already with resurrection cards. However you will "skipp" effects like Battlecry. An example is Injured Blademaster. It comes to the board with only 3 health. But if it gets resurrected it'll return with full health instead--hence no Battlecry.
I hope this helped.
As soon as I saw this card, I thought about the stealth combo..
Master of Disguise + Kel'Thuzad + Taunts such as Sunwalker would be really nasty, but at least it won't be invincible as your opponent can attack through after dealing with the taunt (temporarily).
poison seed + innervate + kel'thuzad for all the poison seed haters out there :)
Kel'Thuzad plus Reincarnate = 2 Kel'Thuzad on the board for 10 mana.
plus if you have another innervate and like a rag on the field, you can innervate again and naturalize the rag to get 2 rags at the end of the turn
Then Faceless Manipulator it to get 3 on the board. Boom!
If you faceless it first then you will get four, since both will reincarnate a new.
Game changer if used properly.
