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).
