So far after testing this deck in casual it hasn't lost a game yet. I am currently rank 5 and I have tested it in ranked. It is very strong against most classes, and doesn't seem to have any bad match-ups. Although there are only 4 cards that have overload, Lava Shock works very well with a turn 5 Feral Spirit, or even if you need the extra burst to kill off a Knife Juggler. Try to take the board early with your Zombie Chows, and Haunted Creepers, and you will never look back. Avoid playing a naked Mana Tide Totem, try to play that behind your Feral Spirit...but worst case scenario it's basically a 0/3 taunt (unless you are close to dying or playing a face hunter). Play out the curve, and use your mana efficiently and you should have success.

The inclusion of Harrison Jones is still questionable, but I think Harrison is becoming stronger as the meta shifts to more weapon based classes due to BRM. You could replace Harrison Jones for another Sludge Belcher.
I'm aware that rank 5 isn't that impressive, but it's still early in the season and I hope to get legend with this deck. I am willing to make a mulligan guide if enough people want to see one.
UPDATE 1.1: I've replaced a Zombie Chow for a second Fire Elemental, and Harrison Jones with an Earth Elemental. Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
UPDATE 1.2: I've replace Loatheb with a Sludge Belcher to add more consistency and more defense against aggro. I haven't been able to play much, but I am rank 4.
Lol, insult of the year award goes to "Go play hunter!"
Well this is clearly a lie. And a poor one at that.
If it's a poor lie doesn't that mean it's true?
I play mid-range hunter and it's actually not a GO PICKUP AND GO FACE deck.
Hunter has no good legendaries where other classes have one or two. so The fact that highmane is good is a problem? lol
That would probably be fine. Maybe another Earth Elemental, a Healbot, Blacknight, Harrison, or KT.
2 questions: 1 flamegaurd destroyer, will it fit in this deck when it comes out? is it as game breaking as it seems? what will you replace with it?
2: replacing Dr. boom with KT (i have no boom), stupid, smart, good enough to not be laughed at?
1. Oh heck yes. Shredder is getting replaced. This deck will be complete with Fireguard Destroyers.
2. KT is a decent replacement.
thanks!
Given the presence of Lava Shock I would say that Neptulon can also be a great choice in the 7 slot. Failing that I'd aim for Rag or something.
Very peculiar list. I like it when people try to find a perfect balance with 1 of includes and I can see it here, very nice tuning. I'm a bit skeptical about a few things though.
1)I'm fiddling around with lava shock myself, and interaction with only 5 other cards seems to be very vague in terms of pushing the value of the card - Would Neptulon not be a fit for this deck? I would sub a Fire Elemental for that (mind you it's just a suggestion, i'm too lazy to craft Neptulon and give it a try just yet).
2)1 Earth Shock seems crazy to me, I may be biased towards that card, but I think the cheap, spellpower boostable silence is a must have in this meta. Especially with the dawn of sticky minions like Grim Patron and Imp Gang Boss that can steal away games by themselves.
Lastly - I feel like Loatheb though incredible in some matches, is the 1 thing I would replace to add a little defense to the list, the 2nd Sludge Belcher or a Antique Healbot would in my opinion be better.
That's just constructive critiscism on my part, overall I rated up, I like it, looks fresh to say the least
First, I agree with Lava Shock being a bit useless for now. maybe when we get the second card from BRM, lava shock will be more useful. But now is not that good.
Neptulon its just not good enough, is not bad , in fact is really good. But Dr balance its much better 7 mana card and it leaves the 2 boom bots on the board even if the oponent has BGH
Second,i find that at least 1 Antique Healbot is a must in shaman because is such a good card against aggro decks, and loatheb is just not good enough for the actual meta.
Finally i think we all need to try Lava Shock for a while. 1 Earth Shock is enough if you are running 2 Lava Shock, Adding a second earth shock would be too much i think, the silence is useful, but in this deck i usually have to use it in a small minion to mantain board control, more than the silence. But i would totally replace the 2 lava shock for another earth shock and other rockbiter maybe, because those cards are much better right now.
PD: sorry for the english :*
Thanks for the advice! I think one silence is enough because there are already 2 hex in the deck, so there is kind of 3 silence in there already. Switching out Loatheb for a healbot or belcher might be a good idea though.
Now that Lava Shock exists, Neptulon is better than Dr. Boom for Shaman, albeit a little slower.
Edit: Not saying it is in this deck, of course.
What are the replacement for earth elemental?
harrison jones??
you could put harrison back in for earth elemental or you could just craft one. They are only 400 dust which isnt a whole lot
i do have them but is it worth to craft it? :/
F2p account btw
I think it could be worth it...I can see Shaman becoming popular. You could replace it with a second belcher, healbot, or harrison though.
Nice deck , i tried it and seems good.
bad matchup against zoo and face hunter . any advice ?
Mulligan for Lightning Storm, Feral Spirit, Lava Shock, and Zombie Chow primarily. That should help you get into the late game, and if you get there with a reasonable board and health, it will be tough to lose.
