This is a combo deck designed solely for the Lich King boss battle. It takes advantage of the cheat condition against Paladin by running lousy minions, and then stalls the board to finish with the ponies.
Mulligan for the combo pieces (priority) and some low drops to stall and draw.
THE COMBO
On turn 7, play Stoneskin Gargoyle and then Blessing of Kings, regardless of the enemy board. Lichie will play Frostmourne, no matter what, and go face. On turn 8, play Spikeridged Steed on the Gargoyle and you will have the board stalled.
Play additional buffs on the Gargoyle to make sure you don't burn any cards with a full hand. To win, draw into Uther and let the four ponies take down the boss.
GETTING THERE
For the first few turns, Mistress of Mixtures and Zombie Chow can trade well and they will heal you (Mistress twice), so don't worry about taking face damage. Save your spells and draw with abandon.
Wild Pyromancer combos wonderfully with the small spells to clear the board, and you can draw with Solemn Vigil if you have it handy too. The weak draw and heal minions you played earlier can be sent over to the enemy board as needed to make better plays.
All in all, this deck makes pretty short work of the Lich King. If you don't have the combo ready on turn 7, just restart and try again. The strategy is pretty locked in, but it's fun to play it out.
This deck is dated and no longer works.
Blizzard has changed the cost to Equality to 4 mana since this deck was made and this is no longer true either...
"On turn 7, play Stoneskin Gargoyle and then Blessing of Kings, regardless of the enemy board. Lichie will play Frostmourne, no matter what, and go face [not true]. On turn 8, play Spikeridged Steed on the Gargoyle and you will have the board stalled.

As long as he has minions on the board (and he does have 6, 2/6 minions) and a weapon that does 5 damage and never wears out he will attack the taunted minion on your side as well as he has two Obliterate cards that he will likely use to destroy your minion. This forces you to remove his 2/6's and then he starts removing your health every turn. GAME OVER, MAN.
So the exploit doesn't work anymore, but the deck can still work.
I cut Hand of Protection and stuck in Emperor Thaurissan to buff the Stoneskin extra in one turn. Just make sure it has at least 18 health, then Humility it. Ideally, you can also buff one of the souls to extend the time you have to summon the horses.
Takes more luck, but still doable!
I'm currently having the issue where even when I get the combo I lose because he trades all the 2/6 souls into the Stoneskin Gargoyle buffed with Blessing of Kings and Spikeridged Steed. I don't know if its something wrong I'm doing but essentially I'm following the guide, its just not letting me get the cheat condition.
>side note: I am doing this with Scaled Nightmare and Violet Illusionist.
I managed it yesterday. Buff the Gargoyle with a minimum of 18hp and while giving it taunt humility the same turn is key
so the souls won't kill themselves too soon. Hand of protection&divine strenght also very useful to survive and hp up.
Needed a "few" trys. Good luck
Doesn't work anymore, he just suicides the maidens lol
Whatever was causing the stall has been patched out, the frostmourne minions just suicide out and that's that.
Does this not work anymore? He attacked my gargoyle? (I had another minion on the board, played a novice engineer to draw the spiked ridge steed, that make a difference?)
tried again and it failed. I did attack with it though. But it seems that this glitch no longer works.
Did you play Blessing of Kings on the Gargoyle right away?
Nice one worked great!
Yup I had that :(
Worked perfectly. Thank u kindly
I am getting my ass kicked with this so far!!!
He's gotten double Frostmourne three times (and i can't figure out the common denominator) and almost always gets turn 5 shell to get me down to, at most, five health. even if i have the combo (which has happened more than enough times) Frostmourne still smacks me in the face!
He ALWAYS uses anti-magic shield and kill me at turn 6
First Try win!!!! just followed the strategy!
L"ichie will play Frostmourne, no matter what, and go face" is this a fuckin joke or something ?
HE PLAYED TWO FROSTMOURNE ?????????? WTF IS THIS A BUG OR SOMETHIN SHIT ?
