Funny note: it still works, if u want to beat him u can do it easily with this deck, rip naxx, c'ya guys!
Kel'Thuzad, you cheater, my Inner fired minions will destroy you!
Our enemy starts with 45 hp, 20 armor and ability:
Frost Blast - Deal 3 damage to the enemy hero and Freeze it.
He will use it every turn, thats why it's good to be priest, also Lightwell helps a lot.
His deck contain 30 cards, thanks to user Beonitas we have all of them listed here:
2 x Frost Shock
2 x Zombie Chow
2 x Frostbolt
2 x Acolyte of Pain
2 x Dark Cultist
2 x Shadow Bolt
2 x Skeletal Smith
2 x Shadow Madness
2 x Abomination
2 x Frost Elemental
2 x Sludge Belcher
2 x Spectral Knight
1 x Blizzard
2 x Twisting Nether
Our basic winning condition is one of our big hp minions with [card]Power Word: Shield[/card], [card]Divine Spirit[/card] and of course [card]Inner Fire[/card]
Probably best target for this combo is [card]Deathlord[/card], he got 8 hp so we can have huge minion, and also he got taunt!
When we deal 20 dmg to Kel'Thuzad and destroy his armor (or in his 11 th turn) he will instantly end our turn, summon two Guardian of Icecrown and change his passive to:
Chains - Take control of a random enemy minion. Cost: 8
So it's nice idea when we're about to destroy his armor to do everything but attacking him and then deal as much damage as possible, to not waste our turn/our minions attack. Also dont leave your buffed minion alone when Kel'Thuzad got 8 mana, it's not the smartest idea ^^
To deal with his taunts we have Silence(not anymore, but u can use it if u dont have some cards ;) ) and [card]Mass Dispel[/card], buffed and taunted minions with [card]Sunfury Protector[/card] can "passivly" clear his board. When they're dead we can smash his face with our inner fired minions, and probably hopefully ^^ kill him before he will be able to use new passive.
Muligan for Lightwell, [card]Northshire Cleric[/card] and [card]Deathlord[/card], when you got this you want to have also some buffs, always throw away 3+ cards that aren't [card]Deathlord[/card]s. It may take some games, you may need to muligan and surrender several times to get what you need, but its imo best deck for this boss. It's also duel against AI so you can do it again and again, don't need to win 10 times, once is enough, and with this deck you only need to do your combo and dodge Chains/Twisting Nether it IS possible ^^
Also, if you don't want to give him time to steal your minion, you can kill him before he get his second ability, it is not so hard, you just need to have 46+ attack creature... Like this:
Gl Hf and enjoy new card back ;)

Good deck! Second try!
What a boss!
I tried a few different setups, and this deck was the closest I felt to almost winning. Several times I said to myself 'I've got this next turn!' only for a Twisting Nether to leave me with nothing.
I changed this deck quite a bit, while keeping the basic premise, and put together something absolutely amazing. I hope it's alright to share here. Not trying to steal your thunder, Vernitrax, just want to add insight for anyone trying to beat this monstrosity.
Again, thanks for the inspiration. Kel'Thuzad is a jerk, and we all must destroy him.
buffed the blademaster to the win, thanks
Got it third time with this deck many thanks
Practically embarrassed that I only had a 50/50 Deathlord, but it worked on the first shot and was a whole lot of fun to play with! :)
Dudeeee, this deck is amazing! First try with a 112/112 Deathlord to the face hahah
Added 2x Shadow Visions, 2x Radiant Elemental and 2x Shadow Ascendant in place of the 2x Gnomeregan Infantry, 1x Flying Machine, 2x Sunfury Protector and 1x Injured Blademaster.
Hard-mully for Northshire Cleric and/or Deathlord and you're golden.
Easy win is: Northshire Cleric, trade with his 1-2 attack minion on turn 2 and heal. Play Deathlord turn 3 and keep him alive. 2 Northshire Clerics on board and a Deathlord and damn, you'll get all combo pieces before turn 8.
Thanks, I used your suggestions and won first time (after I won the hard mulligan, that is).

Well amazing deck lols after 30 mins very successful to be honest from most decks i tried
Worked on the second try with a 40/40 Deathlord on turn 7, nice!
finally got it. took some rerevisions.
-2 gnome
-1 sunfury protector
-1 lot hoarder
-2 flying machine
replaced with
2 shadow visions
2 shadow ascendant
2 radiant elemental
hit him for 56 damage with a deathlord.
i copied what you did and got it on the first attempt, thank you!!
good to hear :)
Thks, win in a 40 min with 46/46 Deathlord and 7 minion on the board
problems i am experiencing
kelthuzud controls the board early game killing any and all minions you play or playing large taunt minions they can't kill
when you destroy his armor he just summons more taunt
then you have to kill them
then he destroys all minions
then you c can't play any minions because he just takes control of them, and you probably don't have any left.
very tough fight
very rng deck. will keep trying but about to give up on it.
It's not RNG guys, just keep your Deathlord alive (easy since he has no hard removals before turn 8) and save all combo pieces until you got fatal.
Amazing.. got it first try without ever getting any of my minions MC'd! Thanks so much for this list and strat! Added two Radiant Elementals like TheAnnoLP suggested and it helped this deck out A LOT!
Great deck, still works. I did make a few changes:
I didn't have [card]Light of the Naaru[/card] and was certainly not going to craft, so i replaced with a Lightwarden and Binding Heal. That Lightwarden proved crucial as it baited a Frostbolt out.
Won on 3rd try, my draw was perfect and his wasn't.
Great deck, tho used my Kel'Thuzad and a bit of RNG from Prince Malchezaar it went much easier than i thought, good deck.
Amazing, got it first try, THANKS
