Hi Guys, Im Gyrgontex, mostly shaman player and this is my own deck. I didnt lose a single game from rank 5 to rank 3!!!
So I promised that if I get 20+ upvotes I will write a detailed guide how to play this deck. So here it is! :)))
Against aggro:
1) Mulligan for Cogmaster , Mechwarper , Annoy-o-Tron and if you have 1 and 2 go for Spider Tank. If you are facing hunter go for Earth Shock and If you start with coin always keep one piece of Rockbiter Weapon and Powermace.
Always try to gain board control, this is the key to win against aggro.
Against control:
2) Mulligan the same way like against aggro plus go for [card]Whirling Zap-o-matic[/card]. Dont mulligan for Rockbiter Weapon, you dont need this card against control. Try to follow up this with cards like Piloted Shredder and Fel Reaver. Fire Elemental is so strong in 6th round! :)
Dont give up if your opponent stops your early agression! You have so many cards which can kill him later. Cards like Dr. Boom or Al'Akir the Windlord for example.
Some tips and great combos:
1) If you start with coin and have a Mechwarper and other 2-cost mech dont use Mechwarper with coin in first round. Opponent then can use removal and your Mechwarper is dead without any effect. Instead of it, play him in second round, then coin and put some 2-cost mech for 1 mana crystal :)))
2) The deathrattle effect of Powermace is so strong. So if enemy doesnt have anything on board it doesnt matter. Attack his face and boost your mech with 2/2+ !
3) Dont be scary of playing Fel Reaver, play him as soon as possible. Yeah the discard effect is unpleasant, but his DMG is so Brutal! And remember: always go face with him! :)
4) Sometimes you have to play Rockbiter Weapon as a removal. but if you can use it on Doomhammer its really devastating. If you equip Doomhammer attack with it every round. You dont wanna see something like Harrison Jones.
5) Al'Akir the Windlord ! Really strong card especially in combo with Rockbiter Weapon or Flametongue Totem. Advantage for ya is that your enemy doesnt expect this card, because this deck looks like classic mech shaman :)))
6) I win a lot of games with Lava Burst and Crackle!!! I strongly recommend to save these cards as a kill shot. You can remove minions with Crackle remove something with Lava Burst is really bad. Never mulligan for these spells.
Proof of legend:
Have a nice day! :-)))
Is this deck an instant loss against Midrange Hunter?
Great deck. took out fel reavers for piloted sky golem and junkbot. First game won on turn 4! thankss
I'm sorry but I cant stand these pos fel reaver decks. I wasted 800 dust only to be milled every single time I play him. I've gotten no value out of him and dropped 2 ranks.
The point of Fel Reaver sometimes is to be milled on purpose and become a "taunt" to get rid of. Try playing it when you have 3-4 minions. Your Reaver gets focused hardly, you lose let's say like 9 cards, but look what's happening. Your opponent has almost an empty hand and nothing to clear the board else with. My advice, do not let it be the only minion on board. I won 5 out of 6 games when I played Reaver with this tactic.
Your "detailed" guide is a joke
detailed guide please!
This deck is BEAST! I have never felt so much Shaman power! Huge props to you, Gyrgontex! Glad to see a Shaman main like me :')
I was testing it myself and I found out that some changes can make this deck way more effiecient. Since the "Face hunter fest" has passed and it is less often now, I faced druids and warlocks with big taunts. These changed gave me a higher win rate in tempo play:
-1 [card]Fire Elemental[/card] / +1 The Black Knight
-1 Fel Reaver / +1 Piloted Sky Golem
For example having a board of many small mechs prevent us from lethal with Ancient of War or a taunted Molten Giant. Here is where black knight wins us the game.
Fel reaver on other hand makes the deck burn big time. Imagine I play turn 5 and then turn 6 Fel Reaver and opponent manages to destroy both. Rest in pepsirinos. I found Piloted Sky Golem very good for efficient board control.
And once again thanks for your awesome deck Gyrgontex! :^)
I think adding al'akir is genius as that is shamans trump card imo. It is the equivalent to paladins Tirion! Its a nice hit for up to 12-20 something damage if positioned correctly :). Also the taunt/diving shield make it a real force to be reckoned with. Anyone who hasn't crafted this legend and is playing a shaman should!
Can i replace al'akir ?
Hey mate any replacement suggestions for the reavers or needed?
