Omokk’s hero power is the ability to destroy one of your minions for 0 mana each turn. The effect is random so I thought there were a couple of ways to win:

• Summon many minions every turn – this is difficult to do
• Play with no minions – this is doable, but there isn’t enough damage to kill minions and knock off 45 health (plus he gains a bunch of armor through his cards
• Gain a lot of value through Deathrattles

I tried building a deck using deathrattles but couldn’t find enough minions that had enough value. Instead, I relied on a combined strategy: Warlock damage to destroy minions, health gain, and Rivendare+N’Zoth+Dreadsteed win condition. Basically, stall long enough so that I could amass a board of Dreadsteeds. Here’s the deck list:

• Forbidden Ritual
• Sacrificial Pact
• Bloodsail Corsair x 2
• Corruption x 2
• Power Overwhelming x 2
• Curse of Rafaam x 2
• Darkbomb x 2
• Nerubian Egg x 2
• Demonwrath
• Drain Life x 2
• Shadow Bolt x 2
• Baron Rivendare
• Dreadsteed x 2
• Hellfire x 2
• Antique Healbot x 2
• Doomguard
• Siphon Soul
• N’Zoth, the Corruptor

I defeated Omokk on my second try with this deck. It was close, and I didn’t get my win condition out until Omokk had very few cards in his deck. I was holding onto Rivendare and 1 Dreadsteed for a long time, but couldn’t find the right time to multiply them. Once I did, I was able to play N’Zoth to fill my board. I didn’t draw my second Dreadsteed until the second last card (every card in the deck ended up being useful), but by then Omokk was out of cards and was clearly going to succumb to fatigue.
