Hearthpwn

played this deck 30 times, lost every time. Tried a couple others, got Kel to phase 2, thats it..

Going to try this deck 3 more times, but after a dozen fails it is looking like a total joke.

EDIT: Went to built a close derivative of this Pally deck and smoked him finally. Sorry, this deck was just way too shaky and never got me far at all. Be warned if you try it, you will fail A LOT with it...This one worked 1st try.

If you have BRM there is an easier way to beat Kel, with priest deck and Majordomo Executus. Video here.

Personally, I don't think this deck is good.  Much more RNG than the priest deck.  Tried this deck prob about 4-5 times.  Tried priest, first game almost won (only lost cause he 1/4 chanced my big minion with his steal), second easy win.

2x Circle of Healing
2x Inner Fire
2x PW:S
2x Northshire Cleric
2x Divine Spirit
2x SW:P
2x Lightwell
2x SW:D
2x Dark Cultist
1x Earthen Ring Farseer
2x Injured Blademaster
2x Lightspawn
2x Hola Nova
1x Loatheb
2x Holy Fire
1x Sylvanas
1x Prophet Velen

This deck took me two tries. Velen is trash, so I refuse to craft him even tho i have all other class legendary.

VELEN BLESSING MAKES THIS EVEN EASIER!

I recommend taking one holy fire out as well and putting in two velen's chosen. Makes making a huge minion even easier. Had two hits from a lightspawn to end the game... 2 turns.

I also put in vol'jin instead of one pain, but that was never used.

I tried ALL other KelThuzad decks on hearthpwn that were recommended, some decks from the forums and from the wiki and none of it worked. This one, however, did. 

The key to winning for me was KelThuzad itself. I summoned Stalagg, then KelThuzad. I used Stalagg and my minions to clear his board, he then killed my KelThuzad. (Stalagg was once revived at that point). I played Feugen, harvest golem, he played twisting nether and BAM! 2 Thaddius and 1 broken harvest golem. Everything to the face and a charge doomguard was able to finish him. The match took me less than 5 minutes

I've been stuck on this boss for almost a month now and I finally beat him with a few modifications to your deck on my first attempt. My edits were: -1 Doomguard, -1 Maexxna for +2 Sunwalker and -2 Imp Master for +2 Sen'jin Shieldmasta.

I had read on GameFAQs about a glitch I was trying to exploit with these edits. If the Kel'Thuzad is active with a taunt; then Kel' won't attack using his minions, probably because the taunt will just respawn. I didn't get to test this though as I won without it.

Thanks for this deck.

RNG/luck plays a big part of this battle period.  I don't care what you are using....paladin, priest, zoo....

I have been banging my head for days and no matter how skilled the deck is, RNG can make/break you.  I am 0-6 right now with this deck, but not losing faith (or bashing).  It is easier to play than most, and I can feel the win....I was just as frustrated with Gothik and Sapphirion.  Why would I expect less from final boss?

Trying to figure out a good mulligan here.  Any suggestions on a good draw?  I am liking the idea of Knife juggler, imp master/haunted creeper, raid leader?  You winners out there...can you give tips on how your game played/starting line up?

Took me a few tries, but the RNG for me with the win was pretty epic. I kept drawing the legendary cards in the deck, so I had almost all of them on the board when Kel'Thuzad decided to destroy all minions. I end up getting TWO Thaddius summons (both Feugen and Stalagg were out), which let me finish him off next turn (he had 20 health).  +1 on this deck for that ;)

It's hard to stick with a game against Kel'Thuzad, it just seems so impossible for most of the time, especially when those 5/5 taunts come out.

glad it worked for you! :)

yea i had so much problems with him and nothing else was working so i made my own deck and got it second time.. was so thrilled to be past him wanted to share how i did it.  Glad its helped some others get past him

Sorry to say, but this deck is really bad. I have played zoo for ages and this just doesn't have what it takes to beat the boss. This relies too much on kelthuzad not pulling up frostbolt or shadow bolt to actually be able to get raid leader or imp master to stay alive. It also relies on kelthuzad actually pulling up zombie chow to get your hp up, because at later turns, YOU ARE going to run out of HP and there's nothing you can do about it. Also, the maexxna card in this deck is a huge waste of slot. I tried with this deck for around 20 times and I couldn't win. I have yet to actually see a low cost budget deck actually capable of beating this boss on _heroic_, this is not such a deck. You can maybe win with this on normal, but not on heroic.

I beg to differ since this is the deck i used to beat heroic Kel.. as several others have in the posts below.  You could try putting back in one corruption and taking out an imp master.

I have played kel tons with different decks.. I have all the top teir cards used in other decks... this just happened to work best for me.  

Priest and Paladin (the other 2 popular decks) to me are a lot more random and luck based..  i mean lets be honest here.. kel heroic is a luck based match no mater what you are using... this deck however has more answers for him all around than anything else i have seen...

any deck that is based around healing wont work in my opinion (unless very lucky) because his ability to take your minions later.  this is why i hate priest for this match up... really sucks to get 2 good pumped up minions... make it threw all the randomness to have that minion stolen and loose...

my deck on the other hand has a field of small minions... he uses his mana taking one.. your still fine... and with the feu..stal twins you can survive the board wipe.. if u manage to get kel out... that helps to.. maexana... she is not a waste.. she can make several good trades... which is important here... you have to outpace your  oponent while maintaining board control... i also cant stress the usefullness of knife juggler..

best of luck to ya though... if my deck don't work for you i hope you find something else that does

if the deck works out for you like it did me please give it a thumbs up (like) whatever. 

thanks

I am so bad, I probably spent 10 hours on this guy, with priest and warlock Net Decks. Still epic fails. Waiting for a faceroll deck lol

Still no luck?  Did you try this deck?

I recently updated it to include another Imp Master.  Seemed this card was pretty vital to me winning the game.  It allowed me to keep up the pace.  Imp Master on the field in combination with raid leader was pretty devastating to Kel... not to mention the added hit with Knife Juggler!

thats something else.. knife juggler in combination with your deathrattles is very important to dropping his health and clearing his field!!!

you have to make smart choices on the minions you attack and win.  haunted creeper is a good example of this and the only reason he is in here is because I can throw him at a minion and get 2 hits from knife juggler.  and if you have the raid leader out.. well those two spiders can do some pretty decent dmg.

The problem I found concerning other decks I have seen to beat him is that you have to heal around him.. any time or energy spent healing is loosing you board control.. so i figured trying to outpace him was the only way for me.  Another reason I went with the non heal approach is that it focuses on low minion amount leaving you very low odds when his power switches.. yea you may have a 10/10 that will heal you every turn but if you only got 2 or 3 minions out its a good chance ur gonna loose it and your creature is gonna go for your face.

to me a field full of smaller creatures worked better.. it didn't matter if he took one.

After many failed attempts with the Priest and Paladin decks I gave this one a shot and it worked the first time.  I even got Twisting Nether'd but still won thanks to Thaddius.  Nice job building this deck and thank you.

Your Welcome,  Im glad it got you threw!  I failed alot with priest and paladin also.. nothing else i seen online here helped me one bit.. seemed to random and the gods were not smiling on me... this deck seemed the least random out of all that I tried.. 

Usually on these nax bosses, for fun factor I always try to beat them heroic on my own with my own ideas.. this one here tho sent me from my ideas... to deck lists... to eventually back to this deck i built around him.

Good Job on Your Victory.  I bet it felt sweet.  I know mine did

Thank you very much!!

priest and shaman didn't work for me (40 tries), got this one on my 3rd try only!

didnt have knife juggler and defender of argus though , I put sun fury protector and senjin instead, worked perfectly!

Yeah I haven't even been able to get all of his armor down before getting destroyed. No idea how people are winning with this deck. 

you have to out pace him.... with your board full of minions his creature steal is not that serious it actually helps at that point cause all his minions nearly cant be played from hand if he uses that ability.

you just gotta work fast to get the armor down.

imp master and juggler combined with your deathrattle minons are key.  raid leader gives you the extra umph.

I have no clue how you can possibly beat heroic Kel with this deck.  0-15 with it.......  he kills you in 10 turns without any minions and you talk about trading late game and drawing.  WTF is late game when you are dead by T10 if you take no other damage???
