I've been playing mostly control warrior this expansion to fight aggro but got a bit tired of it and decided to try Da Undatakah + Mecha'thun warrior. Since I've just crafted Da Undatakah and started playing this combo, I'm not yet completely familiar with the interactions. I came around one that got me a bit confused on how it's actually supposed to work and my googling skills are failing me.
In the middle of this game I ended up picking a Mechanical Whelp without considering the implications for the combo and when I finally played Da Undatakah it got both deathrattles (Mecha'thun + Mechanical Whelp, in that order). When I killed Da Undatakah, it ended up killing my opponent anyway, but I'm not sure if it happened because of the order he picked the deathrattles and Mecha'thun's happened first, or because the game processes the deathrattles before any summon from them actually hits the board. I think this should work the same way as if I had Mecha'thun plus another minion with a summoning deathrattle on the board and killed them at the same time, but I'm also not sure on how this interaction works. Can someone clarify this to me to help with future mech discover choices?
Deathrattles from Da Undatakah are random. You got lucky and you do not want to pick any deathrattle minions from Boom's Discover ability.
EDIT: To clarify, each individual Deathrattle concludes before the other. So if the Whelp Deathrattle was 1st, you lose, as a 7/7 would be on the board when Mecha'Thun's Deathrattle goes off.
To clarify further, the deathrattles are gained in random order, regardless of the order your deathrattle minions died in.
When Da Undatakah dies, the deathrattles are triggered in the order he gained them, each one completing before the next begins. (As laadeedaa said, you got lucky.)

For the case of multiple deathrattle minions dying together, the one which was placed on board first will always trigger first.
