So, yesterday I've seen a comp that blew me away, quite literally. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a screen shot so bear with me that I just list the parts (in order of course):
Golden Ghoul - Golden Kaboom Bot - Highmane - Golden Selfless Hero - Goldrinn - Goldrinn - Golden Rivendare
The sequence goes as follows: Either Ghoul attacks first or gets attacked. If a cleave attacks, the Kaboom Bot will be hit as well. Next, Unstable Ghoul will deal 2 damage to all minions three times, which will kill all minions except for Baron Rivendare, and of course deals a significant amount of damage to the enemy board with the Ghoul and the Bot. Next the Highmane triggers, summoning 6 Hyenas (since everything else is dead and exactly 6 board slots open), then the Selfless Hero gives 6 of the 7 minions Divine Shield, then the two Goldrins trigger, each giving the hyenas +12/+12, and you end up with a full board of 26/26 Hyenas and a damaged Baron Rivendare, 6 of those have Divine Shield, and an enemy board that is most likely severely damaged.
This was achieved by my opponent, playing as Reno, and I think the only thing that could have done anything about it would be Zapp, going first, and attacking the Baron twice (instead of the Ghoul, which also has 2 attack). And only massively buffed murlocs or dragons or maybe demons could even survive the initial slaughtering, and possibly stand up against the huge Hyenas.
I have to congratulate my opponent for this true masterpiece of a build. But now I wonder if there are other Deathrattle sequences I'm just not aware of. This is probably something that can be pulled off once in a blue moon, and Reno is likely the best hero for it to get that critical Golden Baron, but I'm just curious, if there are other builds that can produce something as insane as this.
I just pulled it off myself today but with wolf instead of highmane, and it’s just unstoppable
One nice thing with Infested Wolf or Rat Pack is that you don't necessarily need a golden Baron. You *want* a golden Baron, but with only a regular Baron but a golden Ghoul, you can kill off a 4-health or lower deathrattle beast, and the comp will work decently.

If there's a counter out there... Ragnaros/Patches Heroes could mess with it, or Red Whelps. It'll be wicked RNG, but can work be possible. Snipe off the Infested Wolf, or probably also a Goldrinn (so the Ghoul Deathrattles won't kill off the Infested Wolf), and I think the combo will all fall apart.
Yeah you can get screwed if you don’t attack first vs zap but it’s still a 50/50 coz ghoul and baron both have 2 attack, but yeah beside that you need a snipe with whelp/rag/patches
Has it's obvious counters, red whelp players for one.
It's definitely in that fun alternate comp that this mode desperately needs more of. Off hand it's really just this, pogos, and that build that involves trippling token minions over and over again.
I have tried to pull it off before, with more than just reno. I still haven't come close to putting it all together.

Well just a little while after posting this I got first, as reno, with this:
Golden Ghoul - Kaboom bot - doggie spawner - Golden Spawn of N'zoth - Golden selfless hero - Ghastcoiler - Golden rivendare
I couldn't find a single Goldrinn after an obscene amount of refreshes. And was running a single non golden n'zoth for the longest time too. Ghastcoiler with a resilient rivendare carried pretty much.
Might be the most satisfying and fun win I've had in awhile.
I made one yesterday accidentally, as Yogg lol. I didn't go for it, but I got golden Ghoul and then the game never stopped to spam me all Barons - the rest was pretty easy..
I didn't have any interesting minion from Turn 1 and level-up Turn 2, and I see two Ghouls on Turn 3. OK, why not. A lot of early minions probably can't stand up to whirlwinds, and it works. I tie a bunch on the way up, and and incoming damage rounds are often not that huge.
Both Goldrinn came easy, but I don't get the Baron until after like 2 or 3 rounds of rolling at Tier 5. However once I do get him, I win through the rest of the way.
Thinking on it a bit more, I ended on 13 Health as Patchwerk, so in retrospect, I was only a single early-round loss away from losing, but still. Seems surprisingly effective, and not terribly hard.

*edit*
lol, Zapp can probably also win, half the time.

I saw it on some japanese dudes twitter. Quite nice combo
