TIPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR GAMEPLAY:
UPDATE: This got to Rank 1 of Hot in just a few hours, thanks to you guys. This is by far the best deck to climb right now and I actually haven't lost a game with it since I created this guide ramping it from a 80% to a 84%. I'm quite sure this deck can stand at a 65% winrate in competitive play.
This is the current version of the Totem Shaman, which turned out to be far superior to other shaman decks that run Flamewreathed Faceless
Pro-Player Xixo played a variation of this deck at dreamhack and the legend player Loyan created the archetype for this deck.
It's super easy to climb with this as it can be super aggressive and you can win by turn 6 easily. It seems like Priest is actually it's worst matchup and you don't see those often on ladder.
Card Explanation:
I made this video real quick explaining how and in which combination to use the cards. It's a card guide and nothing more, but I hope you still enjoy it. Full gameplay and explanation is coming soon.
MULLIGAN:
In general you want to mulligan for your early game.
Argent Squire, Tunnel Trogg, Flame Juggler, Totem Golem, Tuskarr Totemic
As you can see there are ALOT of cards you can mulligan for, so you usually start with a good hand. There are a few decks where you want to keep specific cards in your hand to counter the opponnent sooner or later.
vs. SHAMAN
Keep Lightning Bolt or Rockbiter Weapon + your early game cards. You can also keep a Hex instead and use it on their Dr.4 aka. Flamewreathed Faceless once they play it, putting them in a huge disadvantage.
vs. WARLOCK
Keep Lightning Storm or Tunnel Trogg + Lightning Bolt most of the warlocks are Zoo and a well timed Lightning Storm just fucks em over, but be careful not to use it too early, or they'll just fill the board again. Trogg + Lightning Bolt destroys their turn one Voidwalker and challenges any of their 2 drops without dying itself.
vs. WARRIOR
Nothing special to keep, except Harrison Jones IF you techd him in. Just look for your early game and try to accelerate before the warrior gets too much armor or board control.
REPLACEMENTS:
There aren't alot of replacements to be honest. NO YOU CAN'T REPLACE Tunnel Trogg!
You can replace Lightning Storm or Feral Spirit or Argent Squire for a Flamewreathed Faceless and Harrison Jones
VIDEOS MADE OF THIS DECK:
thats at 56% winrate...
What rank should I expect to get with this deck?
I`m Rank 10 now with about 90% winrate and i am still going, cheap and great deck.
Yep, i am rank 15, but I stop playing ranked after 15 and Im saving for doomhammer, but its a truly good deck
which deck are you using exactly? the one that's listed or one of the ones in the video?

The one here, but I remove 1mana tide totem, and 1 flame juggler and add Flamewreathed Faceless and 1 stormcrack since of the totem golems and control warriors, and since it gives you more value to tunnel troggs
Awesome deck! Bought the wing for trogg 2 days ago and went from Rank 11 to Rank 3 :)
me too, recently bought second wing of loe for tunnel trogg, and it really is one of the key components of the deck
It's a pretty standard midrange shaman deck. Not exactly a tier 1 deck, but if you can't win a single match with it you must either be trolling or god-awful at this game.
*salt*
Do not play this deck agains any Control Deck. 0% chance to win that one
There is a chance, but only if he gets no war axe and you get tunnel troggs
ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT!
FLAWLESS DECK
Cant win against control paladin with this one
Great deck 12-0 so far :D Thanks alot!
How does this deck fair vs. the infamous dragon warrior bullshit meta deck that's floating around in ladder ?
I've got a decent win rate (I'd say 65%). I'm rank 8 right now.
thx for the feedback StingerMS , but I had to sack this deck and focus more on the zoolock (which eventually got me to legend).
Congrats on legend! Do you have a decklist you used?
