Hi, This is an easy way to beat the Lich King warrior matchup that I completed on my first try. There's yet another exploit with Kel'Thuzad in solo adventure that allows you to force him to not play any cards or attack you while in his frostmourne phase.
You spend the first part of the game trading and trying to draw cards. When he drops the frostmourne, brawl when your board is empty so that only 1 trapped soul remains. From here, just try to armor up and keep yourself alive until you can play Kel'Thuzad + Public defender. He will only attack the defender with the minion, not the Frostmourne. Once your public defender is within death range from the minion, he will stop attacking it. From here, he just mills cards and does nothing every turn. Use this opportunity to draw into your win condition: Scaled Nightmare(s). When you are within lethal range with the Scaled Nightmare, hit your Kel'Thuzad into the last soul and hit the Nightmare into the face for lethal.
The best part about this deck is the versatility. There is no card you need other than public defender + scaled nightmare. You are able to replace the Scaled nightmare with a bunch of different late game High value minions if you don't have it.
I hope you all enjoy the deck and make sure to upvote it if you found it as easy as I did.
Edit: Thanks for the resounding support guys and as i said above, feel free to experiment with different early game cards or win conditions if you don't have Scaled Nightmares if you don't have the ones I have or if you have better ones.
Below you'll find a video of KiwiinBacon playing this deck perfectly. Make sure to check out his other content to see more great videos of cool and interesting decks being showcased.
Yes you auto-lose on turn 45 in all game modes, even solo content. "Turn limit".
Verified. Not sure if it's an exploit, since it would still work if the AI did the logical thing. Combo works, though after killing the Public defender the first time his AI kicked in and attacked with Frostmourne again. Doesn't matter though, he attacked Kel'Thuzad once but could never get past the Public Defender afterwards. Had to stall the entire game because Kel'Thuzad was literally my last card, but thanks to this deck I had plenty of armor and taunt to do so. Honestly, thank you. The other decks were saying "Use frothing berserker lol" but in 20 games with perfect mulligan+draw they never stayed alive, but this one worked 2nd try. Didn't have all cards but with some extra clear/armor that didn't matter. Again, thanks!
Verified - still works! Thanks for the deck. Cheers
I did it with Blood of The Ancient One, Faceless Manipulator, and Faceless Shambler due to not having any Scaled Nightmares. It costs more dustwise, but all of my Old God packs had from 2 years ago gave me plenty of these niche Epics instead.
Ended up drawing Kel'Thuzad 5 cards before fatigue and killed the boss before even taken fatigue damage.
Good ass exploit, I can vouch that it still works as of April 2018.
ezpz. First try win!
this works really well when kel'thuzad is the last card in your deck and there were two sludge belchers on board before the frostmourne turn
This build do not work without Scale Nightmare, and fairly expensive. Good luck.
Really impressive. Draw All cards in first attempt and I won easily. Thanks man!
This deck is pretty much the best warrior ive played against the Lich King :)
Thanks and thumbs up :)
These is a little collection of every deck ive defeated the Lich King with:

I had to do some restarts but once I had kel, public defender and brawl it was easy.
As I don't have Scaled Nightmare I flooded my deck with high attack minions, I even found a slot for Volcanosaur with +3atk and Wf :-)
Played 20 games with this and never once drew Kel. :|
If anyone is wondering, this is definitely still working.

So somehow even though there are posts from 3 days ago saying it worked, it does not work for me. For me, he attacks into the Defender with the soul like you said, gets it down to 1 health, but then he kills the defender with the soul and hits KT. He repeats that one more time and KT dies. Not sure if missing something or what but if somebody has experienced this please let me know.
Edit: Tried it a few more times and got it but it seems like he just interacts differently depending on certain things. The time I finally got it he only hit KT once and then when KT rezzed the Defender he kept swinging Frostmourne into it and then the soul, repeatedly rezzing it. So if anyone is having issues with it just keep trying it and it should work out eventually.
I don't get it :(
Thanks for this! Unlike other recommended boss decks on Hearthpwn, THIS one is actually designed to win. It doesn’t rely on a miraculous draw. It just uses cards as designed to defeat a challenge. Good job, dude! And thanks to Hearthpwn for highlighting this one.
Still working as of K&C. Note that even if they fix the AI "exploit" which prevents the Lich King from attacking, there's still nothing he can do. He has exactly seven damage per turn and that exactly kills the Public Defender, which is resurrected by Kel'Thuzad each turn.
Done and done! Switched Bring It On! for Dead Man's Hand and didn't even need either.
You can watch me win, even after I made some stupid mistakes:

Micro Machines just wouldn`t do it. With the Raiders it worked :-) Thank you!
This did not work for me, I died because of his hero power. Every turn +1 damage is killing me. Any advice please?
