Here's my win and deck:

 Omitted from this retelling is the fact that the whole way this player won the game was from a lucky randomized Obsidian Statue as the draw fromthat 2/3 minion that gives the opponent a random WOTLK card. Without the lifesteal from this big minion, this was a clear loss. 

 Not sure I agree with your assessment, there...Obsidian Statue is a LIFESTEAL minion (any fat lifesteal would have had the same effect) in my deck and I found that LIFESTEAL keyword alone was necessary to prevent your health from being eaten away by it's passive hero power. But...OS didn't show up until long after the board was filled and it would have eventually been played reviving the health total. The real killers here were the 2 damaged behemoths at even at 10/2 were knocking down the  armor by 20-30 per turn. It is RNG-based, I will agree, but the early T3 sequence and a decent mulligan cuts a lot of that out once you chain the 2x AOBs together.

This deck is by no means a sure shot, despite what certain gamer articles have said. After restarting the mulligan over and over to get alarm o bot and gastropod in starting hand, so far, LK on two occasions with the optimal starting hand, has thrown down the valykr that randomly destroys a minion, nailing my alarmobot on turn four. One optimal starting hand, LK obliterated the very first big minion to come out, and the minion on the board quickly dispatched the alarm o bot. On another, he played Saronite Chain Gang on coin, and so had enough minions to kill alarm o bot. So unless you are very lucky, be prepared for a long, annoying string of restarts before you get anywhere. Deck is promising, and I have no doubt will work, but like all things HS, is entirely RNG dependent, and there is no sure bet. Just want to set reasonable expectations. 

edit: In my most successful run after two hours, I have done 3 damage to him by turn god knows what. In that run, I managed to keep the alarm o bot going for 3 pulls before it was destroyed. Each game worth taking to turn 3 is preceded by 3-10+ restarts to get a decent mulligan. 

edit 2: 3 hours in. So many turn 3 obliterates into cold wraith > alarm o bot plays. Most desirable starting hands play out this way. Alarm o bot has yet to survive 3 plays. Only attempt where I built a wall of minions involved a DK card from LK to summon any minions from top 5 cards drawn. They were not enough. 

edit 3: 3.5 hours later, defeated him. Slight variation on Israelite's deck below. Added some Boomsday cards, removed coldlight oracle because it's pointless and fucks with alarm o bot synergy. Bull Dozer is quite good. LK focuses removal on it because of divine shield. Zilliax is a nice lifesteal that you can potentially magnetize to a Bull Dozer. I didn't do this in my win, but I did do it in a close call loss. Oh, extremely worth noting that in this win, I once again used the LK summon five card, very luckily on turn 7. Not sure I'd have won without it. See for yourself here:

How anyone is winning with this deck? Even if I get the perfect hand and summon a taunt minion off of alarm-o-bot, I eventually lose my taunt minions and can no longer play Alarm-O-Bots without them dying.

It doesn't help that You have to keep restarting the match for 10 minutes just to get this "perfect" hand.

I'm an idiot. I figured out that you had to prioritize protecting the alarm-o-bot in the early turns and if you keep him alive, you will eventually snowball and start dealing 30-40 damage a turn. I'm sorry for my earlier post.

Got this on literally my first try after spending a bunch of dust making another deck on this site that didn't work for me. Highly recommend to anyone looking to beat the lich king. 

This is a more reliable deck than Shaman or any of the other aggro classes that cannot survive beyond Frostmourne without special card draw shenanigans, like Doomsayer and Brawl, which you really don't need for T7/T8. It took me about two solid hours of mulligan and T3 retries, mostly to make sure Stubs was my T2 play and A-O-B was my T3. Then, unless you make some bad trades, the deck just plays itself. I subbed the plain vanillas for a couple more Taunts, just to make sure I survived the long game, or he played double Anti-Magic even on his meager board. It definitely helps a HUGE amount if LK coins into his 0/5 while Stubs is on board. It makes the next 3-6 turns less risky from a tempo perspective.

Its incredibly hard to get the right draw.

on 35+ tries, havent even got him to half health. have tried 3 decks so far and nothings working

just posted this, just got the win, add the lich king to the deck and got army of the dead, swarmed the board instantly and won.

It works with many tries. When the Lich King doesn't get removal or minion boost for first few rounds it snow ball like hell.

Notice that when you get only Bot without Gastropod, you are still able to try if the Lich King doesn't cast 2/3 on turn 1 and 3/4 on turn 2. Lich King hit the Bot whenever he can so put as many taunt creatures as you can. This trick would also fail if Lich King manage to kill your first taunt creature and the Bot at turn 4, or summoning Bot or Gas by Bot X(, but nvm, you will get your chance to win... by many tries...

This deck is garbage, he ignores everything else on the board and goes straight for the alarm o bot every time. 

You have to be lucky to get the alarm o bot  with 2/2 then if your alarm o bot gets a Taunt for sure you will win.

Doesn't work for me. I had my first big minion on the board and summoned alarm-o-bot again. The Lich King then chose to kill alarm-o-bot first instead of the big minion..
