Hearthpwn

Running pretty much the same stuff and at rank 9, http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/250792-shaman-with-dragons
I get by fine without a mana tide and I have roughly the same curve.
I usually burst druids and handlocks with windfury on a big minion, with earthshock to pass a taunt that they spent their turn playing, but it looks like you usually shoot them down with big spells.
I don't think the healing totem or healbot makes too much of a difference vs hunter, so long as you can find a heal card in time, tho I can see where mana value of a totem might be more useful than a whole-turn-healbot.
Lastly, I find I'm on auto-lose to zoo but in 8 matches today I haven't seen a zoo yet, so that's the variance. I don't quite get how a haunted creeper is what seems to make all the difference against zoo - I think I'd still be praying to draw a lightning storm, still be desperately throwing crackle at knife jugglers even though the board is already full of imps, and still having my fireguards and fire eles out-valued by power overwhelming and defender combos. I'll give the creepers a shot when I start to see zoo again, anyway, earthshock is important in other matchups, but doesn't do enough against zoo, so I'll try switching those out.

Thanks for sharing this deck.

The thing about creepers is that it is slightly more reseliant than most 2 drops, which is important against zoo. As you mentioned, fireguard destroyer and other early threats are dealt with easily, but something like a creeper is usually ignored. Then, if you have lightning storm or other spells, the creeper can deliver 1 crucial damage to your 2 damage lightning storm, etc. Once it goes to 2 1/1s, it usually will trade with 2 imps. Its far from a solution, but its the little things that count in this match up.

Mana tide I find is a bit better than2  healbots in this build because the more cards you draw, the more chances you have to get lethal, a threat, heal, or removal. Against hunters, I have a strong win rate solely due to the fact that I can out race them... most of the time they leave this totem alive.

Anyways, thanks for the input, its great to see the dragon shaman archetype is moving in positive directions. I really want to make it work :)

Have you been playing this deck this season at all? What have you been testing? I have had some moderate success with this deck:
http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/243495-shaman-lava-shock
Didn't do a full write up due to lazyness on my part, but that deck is doing fairly well at rank 13 at the moment (not amazing, but well). I'm liking EE, especially if it is a BGH target since cards like Dr Boom can stay alive now potentially. One card I am actually hating at the moment is Unbound Elemental...there is just no good time to play it and every class seems to have the answer early game making it only really useful in the late game. I am strongly considering replacing it with some 2 drops or Harvest Golems.

I am considering trying your deck out or merging these together, so I want your thoughts on it if you have time.

Hi,

Currently I am at rank 5, (massive winstreak with this deck to here). Now I am testing a modifiedd version (similar thoughts abount unbound)  with -chrommagus, -fire elemental, -2x unbound elemental, -1x faerie dragon for 2 blackwing corrupters, 1 nefarian, 1 haunted creeper. and 1 hungry dragon. I will let you know how it turns out.

If it continues to win at these ranks, I will update this list. I like your deck''s idea also,.. a different approach than most overload decks.. I will try it soon and compare.

Ok cool, sounds good...thanks!

What, no love for Earth Elementals?

i do believe that Lava Shock makes EE less punishing if it dies.

As of now, no love for them, but you have a good point. My problem with earth elemental is that if your opponent has Big Game Hunter (which most do) in hand, you lose tempo and are overloaded big time. Though you may have lava shock, the tempo loss is significant. On the other hand, an early, big taunt is strong in a deck like this if it can get away without being punished. However I feel that since we are not looking for great early game damage on our opponents, I believe a safer inclusion would be sludge belcher. But by all means try it out and LMK if it works out because it certainly has potential.

What is your current rank?

Been on  win streak from 10 to 7(current).

Malygos?

I don't think it would fit because this deck doesn't necesarly have enough burn to use early and save for malygos. I don't have malygos but you can test it and tell if it works consistently enough to get a spot. Thanks for the input and I will include something like this in the description because it is an FAQ. If you get good results, please leave another comment to let us know . 

i dont have malygos. but i do find MANY of my matches ending on turn 8 or so do to spell damage. i say give it a go

It is true that spell damage is very powerful in this deck (rolling that totem is gg sometimes), but I still have my doubts as outlined in the guide. Still, if anyone has it, feel free to try.

first match against a druid. destroyed +1

I have yet to lose to a control deck when I have a semi-decent hand or better.

trying the deck now doomhammer swa?

Thanks for the support! I always have used doomhammer because I don't have al'akir. the Windlord. In this case though, I think doomhammer is slightly better because of its mana cost, but you can try al'akir out. Otherwise, maybe just put in Dr. Boom.

i dont have any of the others XD. im a no legendary guy (other then naxx and BRM). i swapped with a other 6 mana minion. cant remember. btw "DUNE MAUL SHAMAN" is a EPIC card here. a great 4 drop/ i replaced him with piloted shredder. the synergy with unbound is crazy on turn 3 and 4 if you have a coin.
