I did not track the stats, but i climbed pretty easily from rank 500 to rank 18 legend
Mulligan for the early minions except for scarab, you want him in mid/late game to help you with the discover hability.
Cards Choice Explanation:
Tunnel Trogg is a powerful early minion, similiar to a Mana Wyrm, but you can play in curve your minions and buff his attack
2x Lightning Bolt its a good removal on early game and buffs Tunnel Trogg
2x Jeweled Scarab because shaman has probably the best 3 drops in the game and you can choose wich card would help you in a better way. At first i was trying 2x Lightning Storm and 2x Hex , but they are situational cards and you can get them from Jeweled Scarab and i liked it.
2x Fireguard Destroyer good sinergy with Trogg
1x Bloodlust i won a lot of games with a 12 or 15 damage bloodlust
UPDATE: My friend Nalguidan picked at rank 4 with the deck
UPDATE 22/11
I tracked some games today and yesterday, 33-15 so far with a few changes i made to the list by reading all your comments.
-1 Jeweled Scarab +1 Ironbeak Owl : it was hard to battle the board against deathrattle rogues and the owl its really good in a lot of matches.
-1 Tuskarr Totemic +1 Unbound Elemental: after reading your comments i tried 2 Unbounds but Tuskar is still good for me, so i decided to run 1 of both.
-1 Piloted Shredder+1 Defender of Argus: Argus is always good in shaman, i could not decide if i wanted to remove 1 shredder of 1 destroyer, its a close choice
About Brann Bronzebeard and Neptulon, i tried them and the meta is too fast for them, if you are facing a lot of control decks they are a good option though.
Mulligan Guide
General: Tunnel Trogg, Haunted Creeper and Totem Golem are always a keep, if you have one of those in hand you can keep Flametongue Totem too, and if you have the coin you can keep a 3 drop also.
VS Druid: Lightning Bolt or Crackle (to kill Darnassus Aspirant).
VS Hunter: Lightning Bolt and Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl to control early board.
VS Mage: Lightning Bolt to kill Mana Wyrm, Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl to silence Mad Scientist or Doomsayer (dont silence scientist unless you know its tempo mage).
VS Paladin: Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl to control early minions, Lightning Storm.
VS Priest: Lightning Bolt for Northshire Cleric, Hex and a 4 drop if you have coin (not Argus).
VS Rogue: Lightning Bolt for their 3 drop, Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl because it could be deathrattle rogue.
VS Shaman: Lightning Bolt to kill Tunnel Trogg, Lightning Storm.
VS Warlock: Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl, Hex, Lightning Bolt instead of Hex if you know its zoo.
VS Warrior: Hex and a 4 drop if you have coin (not Argus).
Hey, i would really like to try this deck, but I cant get the tunnel trogg without grinding for weeks, is there any replacement or will I have to change a lot?
You can probably just sub in chow, it's important to curve smoothly in a midrange deck
You went from rank 500 legend to 18 and only played 8 paladins in 48 matches, Paladin of course being the problem match-up for this deck. How is that even possible with paladin as popular as it is on ladder? Success seems to come from lucky match-ups more than the strength of the deck itself.
in 41 games this season I only have seen 5 paladins.
i replaced 1 Creeper with Brann, work pretty well, love this deck
Replacement for boom ?
One War Golem and two Wisps
Sea Giant works for me.
:D
Dr. NoBoom
Fel reaver GvG still gets more wins tahn this one.
Any good replacement for Fireguard Destroyer?
Replacement for fireguard?
second shredder and second lightning storm seems to be working well for me :)
loses to zoo due to lack of 2nd aoe and card draw in early game.
I lose this deck on 20 rank, not playable deck
because it was at the start of the season? all good players dropped to rank 20.
if you think good players dropped to 20 have fun at rank 16 day one.
Can't even get past rank 18 with this deck on EU ladder. It just does't work.
