Edit 21/08/16:
Looks like blizz finally gut the strategy, if he has enough damage to break through the taunt to get to Kel'Thuzad, he will.
Thanks to anyone who used and upvoted the deck, you can still try to use it but you'll have to actually trade and keep Kel'Thuzad alive. I'm not going to edit strategy below, but keep in mind most of it is outdated.
Strategy:
Mulligan for Ancestral Spirit and Reincarnate for Kel'Thuzad.
If you draw into minion concede and try again.
GO STRAIGHT FOR FACE FROM TURN 1 - turn 2 you will have both Kel'Thuzad and a taunt out. Don't waste your time trading with his minions.
AI does not attack taunts when you have KT up.
Things you might look out for:
Inner Rage + Execute combo - There's small chance he might have it. To be safe Ancestral Spirit or Reincarnate your Kel'Thuzad.
Mogor the Ogre - Earth Shock or Hex is OK for him, you don't want to miss face.
Baron Geddon - Although he shouldn't be able to deal enough damage to kill anything, feel ok to cc him.
Get' em! - If (for some unknown reason) you take out his minion turn 2, he will only have 3 other minions on the field leaving him enough space to summon 4 Guzzlers. This is punishment for not hitting face.
Brawl - he might cast it if you somehow make it to turn 5 (or turn 4 w/ his coin). He shouldn't cast it if you have 3 minions on the field, so holding off with your hero power and not casting wolves should prevent him from using it.
Card replacement:
You can replace any spell/weapons as you like as long as you don't add any minions.
Only core cards are Kel'Thuzad and a taunt.
Ancestral Spirit and Reincarnate are very important to make deck more reliable, but don't feel obliged to craft AS if you don't have it.
Lord of the Arena can be subbed for any taunt, works funniest with Al'Akir the Windlord due to Rockbiter Weapon and Reincarnate synergy.
Actually you can replace Thrall with any hero, but most of them don't have as good counter for Execute and Mogor the Ogre which are the biggest threats.
Usual turn 3:
2020 update (because why not):
The core strategy here works, but as mentioned you can't depend on the hero not attacking taunt minions when KT is out. Also, there are stronger taunt minions available.
I removed Lord of the Arena, 2x Totemic Might (??), and 1x Crackle (as I own 1).
Replaced Crackle with Stormcrack. Added 2x Living Monument, and 1x Lava Shock. Won first try by casting Ancestral Spirit on my Kel'Thuzad turn 2 and going full face as recommended.
Still works very well today ! Used Sludge Belcher instead. Won at 3rd try.
blood of the ancient!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for share. BTW White Eyes is actually insane in this deck!
1st try easy win. thanks for this deck. i used sludge belcher and earth elemental as taunt minions.
Changed Lordofthearena for Sludgebelcher works like a charm.
Seems like this bug has been fixed as of the last patch. I tried this deck at least five times in a row, and he cleared the taunt and went face every time.
Just checked as well and looks like it.
Well, I assumed that would happen sooner or later anyway.
He actually ignored me for two turns, but then he killed the taunt and the KT's once he had enough damage. Thankfully I hit his face with a spell to win.
Realy easy-easy! Thanks!
It works.
Worked perfectly, felt like cheating. Thanks.
Win. It took three rounds. :D +1!
I added mana addict..and what a rush.
He brings out Kel'thuzad, I reincarnate.
Won without taking damage.
Thanks for the deck. Won in T3 since I Windfury Lord of the Arena in turn 2, Crackle on turn 3 and SMORc
Wow! First try! Perfect deck!
This was wayyyy too fast. I think I would have enjoyed having a little fun on the board with Sylvanas and Al'Akir, but didn't think of including them and it was already all over by turn 4.
Good job haha !! +1
Cheap win, still counts. +1
Incredible!!! I won on first try. It was really funny.
