Threw this together and won on the first try. Strat is really simple: Flood and control the board -- one thing that Shaman absolutely excels at.
As soon as you reach 7 minions on the board you shut down his capacity to try to screw you over with more statues. Hence all the super cheap minions. Feel free to throw disposable things like Harvest Golem and Loot Hoarder down to eat his trap (you're always going to have 3+ minions on the board).
Beyond that, just play aggressively for board control. Power Mace and cheap Windfury minions will absolutely destroy his statues. If he throws big taunt creatures like buffed statues or Earth Elemental, hit 'em with Hex or silence them. Once you can hold all 7 minion slots on your side of the board you have won.
So simple and cheap, great deck, you are a champion! The Knife Juggler synergy is wild!
What none of the helpful websites tell you is that
when you have three on your board, and there is a spell icon on his head, the next card you play will be destroyed.
On round 5 or 6, if you make it that far, he will play a card that destroys ALL statutes so do not put any attack on yours, and all attack power from the destroyed statutes hits your hero in the face plus a 5 damage that is direct.
On round 3 he will play a card that is 3/3 to all his cards with taunt, so there will be three statutes with 3/8 taunt and whatever other card he played also gets the increase and taunt.
It is not possible to beat with the Paladin deck, as I have already tried 19 times and never made it past round four. I got further with a shaman deck, at least to round 7!
I used your deck with a few variations:
2x Earth Shock
1x Clockwork Gnome
2x Dust Devil
2x Flametongue Totem
2x loot Horder
2x Mechwarper
2x Whirling Zap-o-matic
2x Powermace
2x Feral Spirit
2x Hex
2x Dragonhawk Rider
2x Flying Machine
2x Tuskaar Totemic
1x Defender of Argus
2x Kezan Mystic
1x Piloted Shredder
1x Dr Boom
EASY WIN! Thanks for the help :D
I used your version, won on the first try. Thank you <3
2nd try here.
ty!
easy and straightforward guide, thanks :)
lol i drew dust devil on turn 1+2 and picked up powermace and whirling zap and won without taking ANY damage (1st try obiously) thx for the deck
I put Doomhammer and Windfury in and it helped me with not getting Bloodlust as a draw. Definitely need turn 1 Dust Devil and I would consider conceding until you get it.
First try even without all the cards. Thanks!
Easiest heroic fight ever! Thanks for the deck.
First try ! Cool deck bro.
Worked first try (I did have dust devil on that first try).
My suggestions for improvement would be
Remove:
Add in candidates:
Yeah, you REALLY NEED at one Dust Devil on turn 1. No excuse for not mentioning that in your description of the deck. Sloppy post writing.
start with dust devil or you lose... you forgot to write that part. Concede until you start with at least 1 dust devil to win
First try! Dust devils put in fucking work great job man
Bloodlust gets huge value in this matchup. I highly suggest subbing it for gormok, it worked great as a 34 dmg lethal
Worked first time for me, though I swapped 3 or 4 cards just to see what would happen. Thanks for the great deck!
Glad it was able to help someone. Yeah, it occurs to me that things like Gormok are likely hard to come by but honestly as long as you can keep your side of the board occupied by cheap, effective minions you're pretty much going to be set. The Shamans cards + some cheap mechs are more than enough to handle the boss. The rest can be pretty much whatever else lends itself into the theme.
