I'm playing a variation of this deck. I found it on the hearthstone deck tracker website and it supposedly had a 60% winrate in 2k matches. I just came here to share my experience.
The problem is that you are basically counting on your removals until you reach the later rounds. Most of the time, the removals are not enough. I started playing Ceremonial Maul x2 to have some sort of board presence in early game and it still isn't enough. Even if you manage to survive there is a good chance that the opponent will have more big minions than you.
I really hope we can find a configuration of cards that makes this archetype more viable in ranked ladder.
I'm gonna give your variation a try and report back!
Hello holyrock and thank you for your input to the community!
I have been running this deck since almost the beginning of the season. I managed to climb up to rank 7 and 1 star.
The problem is that currently there is a trend of druids around these ranks. I am completely helpless against them. The initial fast damage that we are counting upon is cancelled by their healing and abundance of heavy taunts.
I really believed that this deck had a chance against anyone. I have even managed to send a handful of control warriors home plus, copycats of RDU's frost deck.
Once again, I would like to thank you for your input. Being part of the 'Shockadin' family has been a real pleasure!

Couldn't cut it with this configuration.
I ended up doing:
-2 Ceremonial Maul
-2 Ramming Speed
+2 Reaper's Scythe
+2 Coerce

2-1 on first try. Dominated a spell mage, had a close victory against a highlander hunter and lost badly to a libram paladin.
I think that Ceremonial Maul and Ramming Speed help a lot in early game.

I recently picked up the game again after a couple of years of inactivity.
This deck suits my preferred style of playing.
I have played it from angry chicken to Gold with a 69% winrate.
The only change I made is: -2 Winged Guardian, +2 Khartut Defender.
I initially made this change because I do not have Galakrond's Awakening but the extra HP has saved me many times from aggro decks.
Thank you Poimlok for this list!
I am looking forward to see how we can adjust this deck to the upcoming expansion!

Crackling Razormaw gave windfury to Scavenging Hyena and I got Arthas!

Great deck!
I managed to annihilate him with multiple Molten Giant produced by Echo of Medivh

Great idea!
I added a bunch of heavy legendaries and did it on first try!

Thank you!

I managed to defeat the Lich King with a similar deck.
-2 Shadow Ascendant
-2 Kabal Talonpriest
+1 Gentle Megasaur
+2 Shadow Word: Death (To cut through the Bonemare Taunts in endgame)
+1 Murloc Tidehunter

I managed to beat the Lich King with a variant of this deck.
-1 Wrath
+1 Gadgetzan Auctioneer
+1 Healing Touch (To make up for early aggro)
It is very important to play your Wild Growth early, before you drop the Gadgetzan Auctioneer.

After many attempts and mulligans, I finally ended him with a shielded 8/1 Young Dragonhawk on turn 6.
It appears to me that Blessed Champion is a must on turn 5.
Advice:
I believe that keeping the Young Dragonhawk at low health allows you to trick the AI into not dealing with it.
I did not play any minions other than the Young Dragonhawk to minimize the boss' board presence.

He is not available in wild nor standard and the card does not show up in the collection even if you choose "include uncraftable cards".
However, he was brought in game on one occasion by the murloc knight.

Thanks for sharing! I beat him with a similar deck -2 Auchenai Soulpriest -2 Dark Cultist , +1 Doomsayer +2 Shadow Word: Death, +1 Mogu'shan Warden. I found shadow word death to be very important for any minions that get buffed and I added the warden in case Deathlord does not come around.
