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 I'm not going to edit strategy below, but keep in mind most of it is outdated.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:
Beat him at first time ;)
Worked on my 2nd try as I foolishly left a flametongue totem in deck, then used ancestral spirit --->reincarnate the turn before he used brawl. Great deck
Finally get both my Reincarnates in opening hand... guess what I draw into?

Nice deck idea, still trying but better than trying to do it normally!
This deck is actually very consistent - as long as you only have KT + big taunt in deck, I manage to win at turn 4 85% of the time.
I suppose, but I don't have half the cards listed. I have zero ancestral spirits for instance, and no Al'akir. I eventually won, but it took like 11 tries before KT came out and didn't die by a Brawl or Execute later on.
It really doesn't matter what cards you have except for KT, any taunt, and reincarnate, just fill the rest up with random spells and unless you draw into KT or the taunt you win.
works fine ^^ thanks mate
ancestral spirit at the opening hand really helps,
sometimes he does inner rage + execute on KT
Best of the guides, really creative idea man, I´m impressed.
Btw you can replace taunt with Target Dummy, cast 4 damage spells and pass turns until he fatigues to death.
At first I tried to play it as a control deck by clearing board with endless Al'Akirs with KT.
After one or two games I just noticed he just doesn't attack.
So first two times I tried this, he had Inner Rage and Execute combo for Kel'Thuzad. At the third try I did reincarniate on kel'thuzad and when he summoned my al'akir he did not even attack with any of his creatures anymore... So weird!
Thanks for the deck
Nice one!
Nice one!!!
won on the 4th turn
I beat it the boring way with Druid, Naturalize, and big minions. Did not think of doing this at all, +1 for creativity!
Indeed. I didn't even think of this strategy. Kudos to you, sir!
Confirmed this works. I didn't own Al'Akir the Windlord, so I just used an Earth Elemental. Actually, to be honest, I didn't even use this entire decklist, I just randomly tossed in shaman spells.
This trick is super awesome, and even more awesome when you play around with Ancestral Spirit and Reincarnate. Hopefully they don't patch it. Thanks uiasdnmb!!
