This is a deck I've been tinkering with in wild for a couple of months. This month, I hit Wild Legend at #24 very early on and stopped playing at #9 on the last day. All but the last wing of Karazhan are now released and its winrate has increased throughout.

Some specific card choices:

Zombie Chow is a must and one of the key cards in this deck. The minor negative synergy with N'Zoth, the Corruptor doesn't matter at all - you have so many big deathrattles in the deck that N'Zoth is always enough to finish your opponent. Having a chow in your mulligan is how you beat the mirror and zoo. Also a great card to play to round out your curve as you wait for your big threats. 

King's Elekk is much better than Huge Toad in the two slot. The toad is very marginally better on t2, but Elekk draws a card 40-70% of the time depending on the matchup, massively more important on every other turn. It shores up a big weakness (lack of draw) and helps thin your deck whenever it does draw a big minion. N'Zoth has better deathrattles to bring back, anyway. 

Kindly Grandmother can be teched out for Haunted Creeper and vice versa depending on the meta.

Secrets: you need a minimum of three to run Mad Scientist. Two freezing traps are a must. The third can be Bear Trap or possibly Cat Trick.

Feign Death: this is a flex slot combo piece with Sylvanas or any two other deathrattles. It's a very useful tool to refill the board and bait out AOEs, though not critical to the deck, and mostly only works because of the surprise factor. Deadly Shot, Quick Shot or another removal can also fill this slot.

Barnes can also be Loatheb, Princess Huhuran or another tech choice. 

Matchups/mulligan:

Mulligan aggressively for zombie chow and 2 drops. Only keep a bow/shredder if you have other cards to play earlier. Don't keep secrets, except possibly freezing trap vs. shaman.

You generally destroy most warriors, shamans and priests, well over a third of the meta. Your other matchups are fair - you lose to a well-curved secret paladin and aggro hunter, but can hold your own as long as they don't have a one drop. 

Good luck!
