INTRO:

Inspired by another deck I made where it was possible to create a big board 3 times using Krul, Deahtknight Gul'Dan and N'Zoth. I made some adjustments and added Deathwing, Dragonlord to create another big board with dragons. I know, I know it is so greedy and I will probably have so many comments about how this deck will not work and is weak against aggro etc. etc. but it is just for fun. I tried to add some strong early game cards and have a lot of good 2,3 and 4 drops.

DEMON PACKAGE:

7 demons: Voidwalker × 1  , Felguard × 1  , Voidcaller × 1  , Despicable Dreadlord × 1  , Doomguard × 1  , Krul the Unshackled × 1  , Mal'Ganis × 1  and of course: Bloodreaver Gul'dan × 1  

DRAGON PACKAGE:

6 dragons: Hungry Dragon × 1  , Twilight Guardian × 1  , Bone Drake × 1  , Chillmaw × 1  , Primordial Drake × 1  , Deathwing, Dragonlord × 1  

DEATHRATTLE PACKAGE:

8 deathrattles: Clockwork Gnome × 1  , Deathlord × 1  , Mechanical Yeti × 1  , Voidcaller × 1  , Sludge Belcher × 1  , Bone Drake × 1  , Chillmaw × 1  , Deathwing, Dragonlord × 1  and of course: N'Zoth, the Corruptor × 1  

TAUNT PACKAGE:

7 taunt minions. All these cards are previously mentioned but I just want to point out there is enough taunt in this deck to protect your Hero and board.

SYNERGY & PACKAGE CARD CHOICES

First of all what I did for this deck is adding all Demons and Dragons with a deathrattle to create some synergy with N'Zoth, Krul, DK Gul'Dan and Deathwing. Another thing I added were the 2 deathrattles that give spare parts. Time Rewinder is great on Reno/Kazakus/N'Zoth. Other spare parts are very useful in this deck too. I tried not to put in too much strong expensive big cards (Sylvanas, Abyssal Enforcer or Ysera etc.) and focused a bit more on strong 2, 3 and 4 mana drops to survive aggro.

SUPPORT PACKAGE & AoE

For support there is of course Reno JacksonKazakus and Barnes. About the Barnes and Deathlord combo I ca say: There are 22 other minions in the deck besides Barnes of which 14 gives your summoned 1/1 something extra 7 of them are a flat 1/1 minion and than there is Deathlord. It is almost a 66% chance you will get something good with Barnes.

I also added an Antique Healbot.

Spells and cards that deal with the board are:

Corrupting Mist × 1  , Defile × 1  , Demonwrath × 1  , Blastcrystal Potion × 1  , Shadowflame × 1  , Despicable Dreadlord × 1  Siphon Soul × 1  ,  Big Game Hunter x1 , Chillmaw × 1  , Primordial Drake × 1  and if you get the right discover options: Kazakus × 1 

HOW TO PLAY & MULLIGAN:

The fun idea of this deck is, as mentioned in the intro, the ability to create a big board 4 times using cards such as: Krul, DK Gul'Dan, Deathwing and N'Zoth. The DK card is probably used best late game (at least after you have played Krul). 

Fill your hand with Demons and Dragons but do not hesitate to play Krul or Deathwing. There are a lot of late game cards so if you wait for them to play you will most likely lose the game. If you have only 1 or 2 Demons or Dragons in hand just play Krul or Deathwing if possible. For Deathwing it is not even that necessary to have other Dragons in hand because you can resummon it with N'Zoth anyway.

While you keep saving Demons and Dragons (of course some can be played when needed such as Twilight Guardian × 1 or Despicable Dreadlord × 1) you deal with the board with your spells, taunts and deathrattles.

Also do not hesitate to use you Reno early on in the game, if you are able to make it to the end game your chance of winning increases.

As for some Mulligan advice: anything of 4 mana or below is a keeper and if you think you might be up against aggro Antique Healbot and Reno is not that bad either.

UPDATE 10/10:

- Big Game Hunter, - Twilight Guardian, - Shadowflame

+ Acidic Swamp Ooze, + Chromaggus, + Mistress of Pain

Needed more 2 drops (The 3 cards I replaced were just sitting in my hand a lot) and Chromaggus is brilliant in this deck. Duplicating Reno, Kazakus, N'Zoth, Gul'Dan, Deathwing etc. etc. is just so powerful.

Two Bloodreaver Gul'dan in hand to make yet another big board:
