Mulligan Guide: It's okay to start with a Power Word: Glory, Lightwell, or Crazed Alchemist, but you really want to see a Shadow Word: Pain. The faster you can deal with the starting Fen Creeper on his side of the board, the better.
Loatheb will kill you in a matter of turns if you are not careful. Priest is the best class to deal with the 3 damage from his Necrotic Aura every turn. It's not uncommon for him to drop a Deathcharger on his first turn and hit you for 8 damage (Deathcharger + Fen Creeper + Necrotic Aura).
Crazed Alchemist is a great way to buff all your minions by flipping one of the Spores on Loatheb's side of the board. If you have no other options at the beginning of the game don't feel bad if you have to use the Crazed Alchemist to get the buff for himself only just so he can kill the Fen Creeper.
Priest of the Feast is awesome for this deck. If you get him out he's a great way to gain back a ton of life and get stabilized. Loatheb prioritizes damage to your face, so most of the time he will ignore minions on your side of the board. For this reason you can also gain a lot of life from your Lightwells while he keeps doing as much damage to you as possible.
This is a cheap deck already, so I don't really have any suggestions to replace cards. If you did have to replace anything I would recommend that you keep Shadow Word: Pain, Priest of the Feast, Crazed Alchemist, and Power Word: Glory as they are all important to this deck's success.

Couldn't have been easier. Thanks!
Thank you!! This worked amazingly for me, and seeing how you played the deck in your video really helped!
This boss was tough and some of the other deck ideas on this forum were not working for me as the AI has changed.
Here are some screen shots of my final moments and the kill shot.
