Hi guyz!
Finally hit Legend with my own deck.
As I hate to use meta decks, I was continuously working on my own deck and here is the result:
I played from rank 8 to legend only with this deck.
Here is the full guide for the current meta:
Basic combo:
Snowfury Giant + Ancestral Spirit + Lesser Sapphire Spellstone + (optional but helped me a lot againt all kind of aggro and mid deck or board control deck) Ancestral Healing
Why Al'Akir the Winlord ?
You can also combine him with + Ancestral Spirit and get rid of the board if you couldn't draw Snowfury Giant
And If he doesn't die next turn will be amazing with + Lesser Sapphire Spellstone which will give you from 24dmg until 48dgm with Ancestral Spirit.
Why Feral Spirit and not Drakkari Defender ?
-Coz most of meta has silence card or destroy a minion... what ever.. and 2 taunts is always better than 1 taunt. (in my opinion! and was way better against hunters and rogues)
Why 2x Earth Shock ?
-Coz I met mostly Taunt Druids / Recruit Hunters / Even Warlocks / Cubelocks.
And you will say Thanks God I have 2x Earth Shock !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taunt Druid (Easy):
-Mulligan:
Lesser Sapphire Spellstone (Why? 7cost?? you can do shit with it in early game? its okay! Just think as you are playing some Quest deck! and this card will be your quest!) + Loot Hoarder + Mana Tide Totem
-How to counter:
Earth Shock ----> Carnivorous Cube / Hadronox
Hex ----> The Lich King / Sleepy Dragon
Crushing Hand ----> Primordial Drake
-Tips:
If you think that he has decent hands and will try to get on board fast with his taunts then try to use hex as fast as possible to make a chance that Witching Hour will bring your cute frog instead of Hadronox
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even Warlock :
-Mulligan:
Crushing Hand + Earth Shock + Drawing cards
(Coz, since your opponent is always lucky. He will put Mountain Giant and Twilight Drake on turn 4.
-How to counter:
Earth Shock ----> Twilight Drake
Hex ----> The Lich King / Hooked Reaver / Dread Infernal
Crushing Hand ----> Mountain Giant / The Lich King
Tips: Don't keep Volcano for the best shot, just use it if he is getting on board with small minions. I often used to just kill 1 Mountain Giant as well when I don't have Crushing Hand on hands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CubeLock / Recruit Hunter :
Play as you play against Taunt druid. almost the same principal.
Just need to use well Earth Shock and Hex
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quest or Recruit Warriors / Even or Shudderwock Shamans / Spell Hunters :
I guess I never lost against them.
You have so many spells to clean against Even Shamans.
Your combos will be faster than Shudderwock. (Maybe you can loose if you r fucking unlucky and your 2x Snowfury Giant are the 2 last cards to draw.
Tips: For Quest Warriors just make sure you overload your Lesser Sapphire Spellstone with your overload spells as fast as possible (You can even use your overload spell on empty board as well.) And try to not get Double Brawl when Its time to combo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mages:
Just play well against secrets.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rogues:
If you are lucky in mulligan its 50% 50%.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Priests:
I hate Psychic Scream :(((
Otherwise, you can still win.
Tips: Don't spam your hero power... why? again I hate Psychic Scream

Fun deck!
any replace for alakir?
I really like the deck, even though I dont have Al'akir I found success with it, replaced Al'akir with sandbinder and I put bloodmage thalnos instead of one loot hoarder. Won 3/3, I know it's a small sample size but it'll get bigger over evening!
+1 for the Idea
You can run a stormwind champ he's ok to be duplicated if you dont own the other legendaries
I ran a much poorer version of this deck, and didnt own akir or lichy.
My deck also ran windfury spell , ancestral healing so you can make your duplication turn more impressive.
Interesting deck!
- How comes you put just one Mana Tide Totem? Drawing is essential and if you don't draw the Lesser Sapphire Spellstone you are dead. Wouldn't a second Mana Tide Totem be better than the second Loot Hoarder?
- What about Acolyte of Pain instead of Loot Hoarder? (a Volcano can pull 3 cards out of him)
- This deck has 5 Elementals, 2 vital to surviving and 2 vital to win the game (not a big fan of Al'Akir the Windlord for this deck). Did you try putting a Sandbinder in the deck?
How do you even manage to play around all huntards and palatards? This deck gets bent over by almost every meta deck. Sorry, I’m no Shaman expert but if you don’t draw your 4 AoEs when needed you might aswell concede and start a new game. Even if you draw your removals and clear your opponent’s board they’ll have a fresh new one next turn when you’re overloaded.
Incredible list, lots of fun and challenging to play correctly! Played a few games with it, check them out;
(Games start at 4:30)
The Earth Shocks came in handy, definitely wouldn't leave home without them. Interested to know how you've been finding the Ancestral Healing and if you think Carnivorous Cube could find a home in the list as a psuedo 3rd copy of the spellstone.
Thank you so much for the deck!
as a heal zoolock player, this deck is f*king annoy with 4 aoe and many single clear.
try spreading ur board with taunt, cast Ancestral Spirit on them and heal when they are on low hp
I don't have Al'Akir the Windlord so i went full greedy and took Spirit Echo. Any other suggestions? I think it works ok but just interested if you think there are some better options ;P
Also wondering this, dont have Al Akir aswell
Same problem - tried different things but didn't really work
A fresh deck at the meta finally at least! congrats on your legend run
Replacement for Earth Elemental? I ran out of dust and those are the only missing cards. Should I replace them with Drakkari Defender or perhaps Mountain Giant since there's the high chance you will always have a big hand on early games?
One more question, is Lich King better than Hagatha?
1.Well we can definitly try to remplace with drakkari. BUt mountain giant is not a good choice since you keep playing your spells and drawing card in the beginning.
2. When i built this deck for the first time . I used to put hagatha instead of lich king.
But the single thing is... both of the card is really hard to play since you r most of the time overloaded . But when I had a chance to put well, I had clean board which means hagatha was kinda waste to put but still i needed to put otherwise i will never have chance to put... or I had a low HP and Hagatha couldnt earase all the board.
So thats why I put Lich king. Which is a great taunt and gives u some kinda of key cards that u can play on the next turn if you r near to die.
Well as I said . Hagatha and lich king are kinda the last plan that you will play when your hand is shit.....
So just dicide on your choice.:)
Thank you, I'll leave Lich King then, I was hoping to get some value out of Hagatha, but you are right, using this deck shouldn't drag the match too long, and until I get enough dust I'll replace the missing Earth Elementals for Drakkari.
Also, if you don't manage to draw your elementals, you can risk playing lich king and then next turn spell-stoning him. Pretty much game over at that point!
Also with Hagatha you don't have THAT many minions in the deck vs something like Shudderwock that plays mostly minions so the value you get isn't quite as high. The value of the board clear and the armor are handy, but not sure it's quite as good as playing Lich King
This is brilliant. Veru fun to play. Thank you!
