Standard Mirange shaman deck- now uses mechs.
EDIT: Removed a Feral Spirit for a Dr.Boom, as this deck seemed to be lacking in the late game.
EDIT 2: Remove both crackles and a Defender of Argus for 2 rockbiters and Alakir the Windlord. Crackle is a good however rockbiter has good synergy with the mechs (specifically zap-o-matic) and offers a late game burst with Alakir.
---------------------------------------------------
Possible cards to be added in:
-Rockbiter- with the awesome new whirling Zap-O-Matic, you can quickly do 12 damage with a rockbiter. You can replace crackle with this card, however Crackle can be verastile (it can kill big minions, or bypass minion with taunt etc).
-Bloodlust: sometimes, I just have too much totems and low attack minions sitting around on the board. However, this card also just sits around in your hand if you got no minions/board wiped.
-Ala'kir: Good burst endgame, however it can be too slow, especially versing hunters. If your going to add Rockbiter, try find a place for Ala'kir.
-Kezan mystic: Improves matchup with Hunters n' mages. Possible replacement with Piloted shredder.
Card explanations:
-Powermace: The core of the deck! For an extra 1 mana, you get a fiery win axe and +2/2 to your mechs! Very good with Annoy-o-tron and Whirling zap-o-matic. Trades goods with the enemy minions while buffing your own. Solid card.
-Piloted Shredder: Makes the opponent do a 2 for 1 trade for the card, as the opponent has to deal with the 4/3 body and the 2-mana cost minion. Good card in general.
-Harvest Golem: This card has some upsides and some downsides. The upside is that the opponent must spend more of his removal/resources to get rid of this sticky body. However, the downsides that this card is very weak against priest as they can steal the harvest golem with shadow-cabal priest, and create rage-inducing moments for you. You can use Spider tank instead of this, except Spider tank can get killed easily.
-Annoy-O-Tron: Good synergy with the powermace and flame tongue totem has divine shield and taunt. The opponent must two for 1 this minion, meanwhile you can build your board or protect your whirling zap-o-matic while the opponent deals with the Annoy-o-Tron. Annoying indeed!
-Crackle: Let the RNG flow through you, as you roll for 6 while the opponent rages. This card is basically an upgraded lightning bolt that has the potential to do more than 3 damage. Good card, kills big minions or minions hiding behind their taunt...
However I have noticed that this deck lacks the late game burst so I have decided to use rockbiters with Alakir instead.
Don't forget to leave a +1 if you liked the deck (or a -1 if you don't like the deck). Thankyou for trying out my deck :).
It's a good deck. However, it has some troubles in the early game, especially against hunter and zoo if you don't get Annoy-o-Tron.
Not SOME but HUGE troubles.
I've always loved shaman and now with this deck, Shaman can really shine. Love it. Don't have powermace or al'akir though. I run mana tide, violet teacher and bloodlust as replacements.
I replaced Loatheb for Sylavanas, do you think it can synergize well with the deck? Also I'm wondering if there's some room for a bloodlust, it can always be helpful. Thanks for the deck !
Can i add The Black Knight or Sylvanas Windrunner here?
You can try fit one in- however this deck doesn't have a lot of replacement slots. You can consider replacing Antique Healbot if you don't verse aggro much.
What can I replace Dr Boom with?
Yes, i am also want know this.I Have all this cards except Dr.Boom, so please tell us as fast as u can.
You can use Sneed's Old shredder, Ragnoros and Neptulon as an replacement to Dr Boom. If you don't have any of these you can use a Piloted Sky Golem.
Dr.Boom is one of the most OP card released so far. It is basically ran in every deck out there besides rush and zoos. It's really hard to replace him...
Thanks, I don't have Al Akir, but I've won 8/10 games with this deck!

Eh still has the same problems every Shaman deck has. You are depending on RNG completely. Vs zoo? pray Storm rolls 3 or you auto lose. And so on, its why other classes are just better. They dont have that level of RNG on their aoe clear.
So you should go and add that comment to every single Shaman deck? How is that useful?
How would this variant work? Does it lack anything?

-1 Al'Akir, -1 gnomish
+1 Doomhammer, +1 Harrison
Doomhammer was just something i had in al'akir's place, it works well with rockbiter as well and theres no risk of it being removed by things like hex, polymorph or any other minion removals, altough harrison will screw you.
gnomish feels kinda weak...harrison is just 1 mana more, with better stats and his battlecry works so well in the current weapon-heavy meta(Muster for battle, axes, eaglehorn bows)
Hi,
I'm pretty new in Shaman class. I don't have:
- 2x Lightning Storm and 1x Al'Akir the Windlord
Any good subs for that cards?
Wizard EU: storm is a probably one of the main staples for Shaman, one of the best AOE of the game. if you do not have this card a good replacement would be Explosive Sheep. it can be tricky if you have minions on the board too, but still a great clear. Argent Commander or Whirling Zap-o-matic would be good replacements for Al'Akir. Since zapomatic is already in this deck I would try for the Argents.
Thanks a lot. I'll try it :)
There really aren't any replacements for Lightning storm as it's the primary board clear for the Shaman class. But for Al'Akir you can use Argent Commander and replace the gnomish inventor with a windfury.
Typically with a Shaman deck running Flametongue Totem and x2 Rockbiters, I like a pocket windfury for a kill they definitely did not see coming.
