Hey guys,

I'm a previous legend ranked player, maining shaman class.

This zoo-like aggro shaman was intended to get you lots of wins very quickly, since I'm currently farming the last 100 of the 500 wins for my golden shaman portait (which I finally got today, congratz to myself :P)

So my thought process was to create a deck, which dishes out lots of dmg/pressure early on, so I can either win by turn 5-8 or concede by turn 5 if I see this match is not winnable.

Either way, the matches go about 3-6 minutes. I intentionally did not care about my rank or win/lose ratio, just about the number of wins.

But it seems this deck is not bad after all and counters the other aggro decks pretty well and I got from 20 to 7 pretty fast.

It seems that the most popular decks nowdays are: Rush hunter, rush mage, zoo+hand warlock. This deck wins vs those.

On the other hand, this deck has a very poor matchup vs Priest and Warrior (usually concede after turn 5 unless you stomp em early)

Good combos:

Turn 1 Coin + Undertaker + Leper Gnome (+ any other deathrattle minion turn 2 :P)
Haunted Creeper + Knife Juggler
Arcane Golem + Rockbiter weapon + Windfury (14dmg for 6 mana)

Playstyle:

Mulligan very aggressive, only keep 1-2 drops, + I usually keep 1 removal spell.
Vs Control: dont trade much, go all in, you wont win the value trading game. You have to overrun them and win by turn 6-8.

Update 05.10: Put out Leper Gnomes and Arcane Golem for Zombie Chows and Bloodlust.
Leper Gnome is very weak vs Haunted Creepers (which are very popular (~50% of my games) and Bloodlust gives you an additional wincondition.

Possible Tweaks:
Bloodmage Thalnos - is basically another Loot Hoarder.
Sea Giant - since we have always a full board.
Shade of Naxx - a growing threat.
Arcane Golem - For the Charge - Rockbiter - Windfury burst.
2nd Lightning storm or 2nd lava burst.
Deathwing - nobody expects that. And she gives you another win condition if your opponent managed to win board control and you cant clear.
Deathlord - Buffs the undertaker, protects your vulnerable minions, most decks have problems removing them early. (But it can go south very fast if he pulls out Swagnaros or Doomguard :P)
Cult Master - for massive Card draw when you sack all your totems with flametongue in 1 big enemy minion.

Thanks for reading.

If you want any further details, strategies for specific matchups or sth else, let me know, I'll get on it asap.
