Goal is to (ideally) draw out the deck and combo the last turn (ensuring the opponent has <20 health).

The combo turn can happen in several ways. The basic plan is to have four Mogu Cultists on board (through whatever means) and one Potion of Illusion (ensuring you have no more than seven cards in hand and three more mana). Barista Lynchen is not viable in an OTK since she takes up a board space — she’s the backup plan to set up a TTK. The simplest (but least likely) answer to this combo is to set up the combo turn by (while retaining Potion of Illusion in hand) playing two Mogu Cultists (2), Barista Lynchen (5), and Shadowstepping both Cultists (0).

Some other scenarios are below:

Ideal: Empty deck (or be very lucky), Mogu Cultist x2 (2), Togwaggle’s Scheme five Cultists (1), Secret Passage (1), Mogu Cultist x5 (5)

Backup (doesn’t require an empty deck): Turn before: Mogu Cultist x1 (1) (retain one in hand),  Barista Lynchen (5), Potion of Illusion (4), Shadowstep Mogu (0); combo turn: (Coerce/Eviscerate on Barista if necessary), Mogu Cultist x1 (0), Mogu Cultist x3 (3), 1/1 Barista (1), Backstab or Eviscerate Barista (0 or 2), Mogu Cultist x3 (3)

Backup backup: Turn before: Mogu Cultist x1 (1) (retain one in hand),  Barista Lynchen (5), Potion of Illusion (4), Shadowstep Mogu (0); combo turn: (Coerce/Eviscerate on Barista if necessary), Mogu Cultist x1 (0), Mogu Cultist x3 (3), Potion of Illusion (4), Mogu Cultist x3 (3)

There are, of course, other ways to complete the combo turn — some fundamentally different than any of the above. As stated, as long as you have four Cultists on the board, a Potion of Illusion, and three extra mana, you can complete the combo.
