Info:
Beat him after my 3rd try and only lost the 2nd try by 1 HP. I usually play only Warlock, so I don't have many other class specific or off-beat neutral cards. With the exception of Holy Fire, which I happened to have twice, I only used cards that are rather common and which most other players should already have as well.
This isn't meant as a fool-proof deck. I simply shared what worked for me in the end. If you have better cards, obviously use them! e.g. Shadow Madness, Coldlight Oracle,Doomsayer or Mindgames.
Strategy
You want to outlast him to draw his entire deck and die to Fatigue Damage.
Mill for Mind Vision, Shadow Word: Pain and Holy Smite. You want something so you can kill his early minions. You obviously want to get rid of the minions, so give them taunt or attack to trade with his minions. Keep Sunfury Protector, Inner Fire and Defender of Argus for that purpose.
His Abominations actually benefit you! Along with Holy Nova it's almost always a sure death for all his minions.
Use Silence on his buffed Undertaker or less preferable on a Spectral minion on your side, so you don't receive damage. Keep Shadow Word: Death for his Unrelenting Rider.
Use your Hero Power whenever possible with excess mana to heal yourself.
Card alternatives:
In all 3 tries I didn't even draw into Deathlord. In my kill-try I didn't even use Mind Control Tech or Holy Fire, so you can probably replace those, if you don't want to craft any cards. Deathlord is free, is mana-efficient for his body and thins his deck out. I'd probably try 2 if you want to replace Mind Control Tech or a Holy Fire. Abomination might be a great choice as well if you have it, since it gets rid of his AND your minions. If 2 Abominations are on the field, it's most likely a guaranteed full board wipe.
PSA:
Like always, there is a bit of luck involved, in particular with cards such as Mind Vision and Thoughtsteal. Don't give up too fast and just try again or alter your deck slightly. Gothik is by far the most difficult boss so far, so expect a few tries (that goes for any deck).

Thanks! I had already tried like 5 different decks for this and none worked, this one did on my first attempt.
Glad to hear. :)
I'm using the recommended cards you shared, can't get a single victory, RNG is really bad these last 2 days :(
Well you can't just put them in randomly. You still have to consider a few things. The cards I mentioned were just examples. In the end, many just beat the boss using the standard deck. I don't think it's perfect and some of the cards would benefit the task greatly, but I didn't tested it.
Tell me which cards you have and I could potentially craft you a better deck (no promise that it works tho). In the end, the encounter does require a fair share of luck, so don't give up. (:
It works good! Thanks! :)
Worked on the second attempt, sweet
was fun to play with and it worked, thanks!!
Be sure to keep your Shadow Word: Death for his 5/6 minion that can't be targeted by Shadow Word: Death, guys.
I don't know the name of his minions. I OBVIOUSLY mean the 5/6 that gives you a 0/6. After looking it up for you mr know-all, the name of the card is Unrelenting Rider.
Thanks for the video. (:
waste 1.5 hours T_T was close to win only once
Tried 10x, gave up, then tried this mage deck: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/84537-stall-mage-hc-gothik and beat it first try. Either serious rng or just play style difference I guess.
This guy is posting this in every gothik deck. Hes just advertising.
You sir, are a flat out liar. I'm not advertising anything. I'm trying different decks and linked 2 threads to the one above because that one deck did what 2 other decks could not.
Please stop your slander, please stop your lying. It is conduct unbecoming.
Worked 1st try, thanks for the deck.
Although, I didn't even have a handful of the cards (-1 Mind Vision, -2 Thoughtsteal, -2 Sunfury Protector, -1 Earthen Ring Farseer); I just replaced them with some other junk. (Packs hate me, I only get duplicates of the bad commons)
Utilizing Holy Fire & Shadow Word: Death to control the strong minions on the board, then his double Abomination to both clear his board, while getting rid of those pesky 0/2s on my board. A couple Mind Control Techs to sway board advantage my way; and before I knew it he had no cards left in his deck.
My only modifications to this deck are;
+1 Deathlord
+1 Mind Control Tech
-1 Earthen Ring Farseer
-1 Mind Vision
I beat him in my first try. Thanks!
Took me a few tries but beat him with this deck! Thanks for sharing +1
