Yo people. This deck does pretty good in current meta. Surprise factor is huge and your opponent will usually use the words ''oh, god...'', ''just... what?!'', ''f*uck'', ''wtf just happened?''. Cos most of evolve decks use jade synergy and opponents know their plan. But we won't bother creating jade armies, instead we'll summon big dudes with huge ammount of reduced mana. Corridor Creeper, Nerubian Prophet and Thing from Below will do the trick with a single evolve combo. You can check many examples in the Replays section. Good luck and have fun!

Paladin is the most aggroish deck in current meta atm. So you shouldn't lose early board control. The mulligan against pala can be a little confusing. You may ask wouldn't keeping Lightning Storm be wiser but 2 mana overload can be cruical in early game. You may want to keep 2x Maelstrom Portal instead, that can be good as well while paladin will summon some divine shielded minions with 1 hp. Always keep your Mind Control Tech cos it's like 90% pala will have 4 minions for at least once or twice until midgame whatever you do. So stealing a Knife Juggler can turn tides completely. It's optional to keep a Corridor Creeper but you'll summon it for 0 mana against pala. With some evolution luck you may get a huge taunt minion even before turn 5.

 Priest;

 

 

 

Priest mulligan is totally optional atm. I usually keep Fire Fly and a Flametongue Totem to kill their Northshire Cleric before a drawfest. But i sometimes also keep 2x Nerubian Prophet cos that 4/4 body can annoy priest even before some evo tricks. You can also keep Doppelgangster with an Evolve if you are strating with The Coin. So you can build 3 big dudes on turn 5.

Replacements;

There are totally only 6 legendary and epic cards in the decklist;

 

Unstable Evolution x2 (very important): I guess this is the best card for shamans came with Kobold patch. Especially for this kind of an evolve deck. Has incredible synergy with Corridor Creeper. Once i got The Lich King against an aggro pala on turn 3! So try to craft it.

 

Thrall, Deathseer (important): Shaman DK card. One of best designed dk cards in my opinion. And this card is also important. Especially if your opponent has a Skulking Geist... So try to have this either.

 

Bloodmage Thalnos (replacable): You can replace thalnos but he is still very useful in this deck. While there are many aggro paladins atm combo with Maelstrom Portal can be cruical as it clears their boards most of the time and with another possiblity reduce cost of Corridor Creeper(s) in your hand.

 

Corridor Creeper x2 (very important). I liked the comment about this card called ''mr. 0''. Yeah you really summon this for 0 mana for most of the time. And as i explained above you create huge minions using this and Unstable Evolution during early/midgame. You should definitely craft this as it's also usable in any decks from any class atm.

 

 

While they all are important as i explained above and replacing them would reduce power of the deck i'll still try to tell replacements for them. Please don't ask about rare cards. Just craft them or replace them with some tech cards matching your gameplay style. And ''if you don't have Evolve, just don't play this deck''.

 

 

Cards Fitting This Deck;

 

 

 Shaman Cards:

Devolve (2nd one): May be useful against aggro pala, cubelock.

 

Jade Claws (1 or 2): Even this is not a jade deck may be useful as extra early game tool.

 

Murmuring Elemental (only 1): Has some synergy with battlecry cards.

 

Master of Evolution (1 or 2): Only add 1 if you have 2x Evolve and 2x Unstable Evolution. You can add 2x if you are missing any Unstable Evolution.

 

The Runespear: Tbh i haven't tested this yet but i guess this wep can be a cool tool for end game.

 

 

 Neutral Cards:

Updating.

 Videos;

Good pal ''kiwiinbacon'' made a cool video showing how fun and strong this deck can be;

Another pal Kadakk showing some skillz on Rank5;

 

Revision v1: I tried 2x Unstable Evolution instead 1 Master of Evolution and results are better. Still if you don't have unstable evolution you can go with 2x masters.

Revision v2: I replaced Nerubian Prophets with Pantry Spiders. Cos keeping both prophets and Corridor Creepers seems a little much while meta is full of aggro decks. I got superb results with this change. Double body from spiders are much useful for evolve tricks.
