Hi guys, I've played this deck from rank 5 to legend, and found it quite consistent vs most of the decks so i'm sharing this to your guys:
Earth Shock - 2 x silence is necessary in the current meta.
Whirling Zap-o-matic - really nice two drop for you to go aggressive at early stage if opponent is control. (consider two Whirling Zap-o-matic at turn 2 and turn 3 Rockbiter Weapon+[card]Flametongue Totem[/card] win!)
Rockbiter Weapon, [card]Flametongue Totem[/card], Powermace - sync well with your mech cards.
Big Game Hunter - help you vs handlock and control decks. You can play Hex without worrying you are lacking cards to duel with big minions later.
Mana Tide Totem, Azure Drake, Neptulon - source for card draws. Having four sources reduce the chance for us to run out of cards.
strategy:
Keep aggro cards Whirling Zap-o-matic vs control decks.
Keep one mana spells [card]Earth Shock[/card] ,[card]Rockbiter Weapon[/card] vs aggro decks. Not good to keep Flametongue Totem if you don't have defensive minions in hand.
Always keep Annoy-o-Tron at start if you have one.
Keep one Powermace at start is always a good choice.
A 3/4 [card]Annoy-o-Tron[/card] or a 4/7 [card]Arcane Nullifier X-21[/card] at turn 4 is hard to duel with for aggro decks, where a 5/4 Whirling Zap-o-matic is always a pain in the ass for control decks.
Do not play Mana Tide Totem without Taunt protection in most situations.
Dr. Boom is a good choice to play before the turn you want to burst on enemy's face:
e.g. Dr. Boom -> Al'Akir the Windlord+Rockbiter Weapon/Flametongue Totem, or Fire Elemental+Crackle
Neptulon is a nice card to fill your hand with aggressive murlocs. Yet it's not good to play at round 7 because of the 3 overload. It's best to play when you already have board advantage or you don't have better card choices.
card not to use/alternative cards:
Feral Spirit - there are too many 3 attack low cost minions, and feral spirit is just not good enough to stop the mech aggro/deathrattle aggro waves. Besides, we already have five taunts in the deck.
Doomhammer - is a good card choice replacing Al'Akir the Windlord
Big Game Hunter - consider replace it with another Antique Healbot if you face a lot zoo warlocks/hunters in your rank. One heal is definitely not enough if you don't have luck to draw it.
Feel free to leave any comment/question!
Going to give it a try ;D
this is the best mech shaman list i have seen so far, other popular decks seem to rely too much on mech synergy and I find that gives them a downfall when you cant pull the synergy off because shaman has weaker draw power.
How is this deck vs aggro hunter/zoo and priest/paladins?
vs aggro hunter/zoo: I'm having 60% win rate with this exact deck. Sometimes if there's too many aggro opponents switch to two healbot can increase your chance to win. Normally you rely on Earth Shock, Lightning Storm and Powermace for early removal, and put up a large taunt at mid game and start to control the board.
vs priest: priest is never a problem for this deck. I'm having excellent win rate vs priest.
vs paladin: just need to save your lightning storm for Muster for Battle and you'll be fine.
Would you consider swapping BGH for Harrison? I usually seem to make it fine with my Hexes and against handlock they still will have a 4th 8/8 anyways so even with both hexes and BGH you still need to take one out. On the other hand Harrison is a tech card similar to BGH but its effect can only be done by him or ooze. Just wanted to know your opinion on this thanks for the nice guide!
Weapon removal is not my top concern, this deck is already doing well vs warriors and shamans, but i think it's good vs paladin who always have 5 weapons, or hunter's bow that come at your face.
Yup i would say this is also a fine card to go for.
