Hi everyone, I'm Brodos Legend EU player and I'm back with another deck review.
Sorry for not posting a deck/video for quite a while, i had quite a lot of job with playing tournements and casting some over at twitch, also started an ESL related site with some other players.
Aynways let's get back to the list, a friend of mine (mehito) and I created this list, so with the nerf of Undertaker there will definetely be less hunter around and here we have Shaman's time to shine, this deck absolutely wrecks control (99% win ratio) and does pretty well (50%-70%) against everything else.
YOUTUBE REVIEW
The way i like to call this deck is "Response Shaman" because everything your opponent plays gets dealt with.
So i like to breakdown the deck like this
1.Card Draw
Since Shaman always struggled with card draw this deck has a bit more of it, playing this deck you must save your resources, dropping a card when it's not necessary will backfire you later.
Mana Tide Totem is your main source of draw,if it draw 2+ cards it's usually insane value, you cna also use it as a bait because you know your enemy is gonna kill it, so he maybe unstealth his Shade of Naxxramas or use ineffcient removal to kill it,
And then we have Gnomish Inventor and Azure Drake are other card which will help you get int othat late game and evetually drop your big minions and Neptulon for even more cards.
You really want to use your hero power as much as possible since you save your hand and build up a board for Flametongue Totem.
2. TEMPO ADVANTAGE
You really have to time your tempo right, dont use cards like Lightning Storm and Fire Elemental if you know your opponent is going to have better targets, and since the deck is running only one storm use it only when necessary, Flametongue Totem also has a huge role here since it can buff Harvest Golem,Annoy-o-Tron and minions that drop from the Piloted Shredder to kill some 5/6 drops. He can also be used with Al'Akir the Windlord and push for tons of damage, even if lately i ahve been using him more and more for board clearing purposes.
Another very important thing about this deck is how to trade and positioning minions, you always want our deathrattle minions on the very left side of the board so Flametongue can get maximum value.
2.1 Using Removeal
I already started this topic above, use your cards very wisely and slowly, Earth Shock just the very threathful targets and dont use them if you can get rid off some of the minions otherwise.
3. Mulligan
You really want a nice Mech curve with this deck, cards like Annoy-o-Tron,Harvest Golem and Powermace are always almost a keep.
But it also kinda depends on the playstyle you usually want that in every match a Rockbitter Weapon and an Earth Shock are also alright.
Quick tips and explanations
- Powermace has 8 targets if you include the 2x Boom Bot 's but if
it dosen't proc. it's effect dont complain, do you ever complain if an [card]Eaglehorn Bow[/card] dosent get extra durability.
- Every deck plays a taunt, everyfreaking deck either if its Annoy-o-Tron or Sludge Belcher, The Black Knight will get value.
- Sylvanas will always be a problem to deal with
- Don't drink and play, could lose you quite some ranks

it's a great deck, but having a ton of trouble with the Hunter match ups, seems almost like an auto loss, I switched the gnomish inventor out for Thalnos and haven't looked back
I'd swap Al'akir and Sylvanas for Piloted Sky Golems. More Mechs and more staying power on an empty board.
Replacement for Black Knight?
Great Deck man :) tried it in a few games today and won almost every single one of them :)
I just did some changes to it, since im encountering many mech mages and face hunters, so i added in another Lightning Storm for 1 Earth Shock, I added in 1x Crackle instead of the Gnomish Inventor.
Crackle already saved me like 1 or 2 games so far, by either hitting a threat for enough dmg, or finishing the enemy by Crackling his face :)
neptulon is the only missing card. any replacement?
whats the replacement for al akir, sylvannas and black knight?
I think this is a really good deck Brodos, as I think Powermace is really underrated.
That being said, what do you think about including Antique Healbot in this deck? I tend to run out of lifepoints against aggro decks (also due to removing minions with Powermace) and the card synergizes well with the Powermace buff. As there are 9x 3-mana drops, I removed 1x Harvest Golem for it. Removing 1x Earth Shock instead could also be possible I think.
Great deck buddy, gonna give it a try
BTW Make your bed next time :P
