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

Thanks!
good deck I am missing tunnel but still lost only 3 times: 1 face shaman 1 zoo 1 some crazy mage control deck(leyend competitive player in rank 19 ??? wtf ?)
I was rank 22 yesterday, every season I get to rank 20 for the card back then go back to arena. I decided to get to rank 15 with some deck i found in this site that was cheap bc im freetoplay except for loe. I had shaman at lvl 10 and have never played him in ladder so I had no experience. Still today im rank 12 only using this deck, IT IS NUTS, only mages and dragon warriors with luck can beat me. I have deleted the rest of my decks and called this one bullshit, ive made no changes and had to craft 13 cards from the list after disenchanting all my priest cards, worth it.
might also consider holding on to Hex or Lightning Storm vs. Druid (hex for some crazy ramp up, lightning storm against tokens)
This cards are for aggro. This deck is more... midrange maybe or something, but not that agressive
Getting destroyed by CThun decks, especially druid :\ He seem to always got counter to my cards - Wrath, CThun Disciple, etc. And after 5 mana - bears, 4\5 unit, that getting buffed to 4\10, 6\7 taunt, 5\10 tree and so on, even if I get Hex, I just cant counter all the powerful cards he have. Even if I able to control the table at turns 1-5 I cant finish the game until that, and then AOE or heavy taunts - gg. Stuck at rank 15 now :\
Just went from 20 to 19 with this deck. Very great power!
Level 17 footlocker now. Convinced this is the definitive "Shaman deck".
Just lost 5 in a row, horrible deck!
I am confused, is the video current? is the decklist on the site current? lol okay..
This deck is absolutely insane. I just can't seem to beat control warriors or zoolock EVER. Any advice for these matchups?
Against Zoo:
taunt up and kill his minions, but make sure not to waste your Lightning Storms too early.
when it is early ?
I'm currently at rank 8 and know I can climb farther. Last season I only played for about an hour a day and got to rank 10. The deck is legitimate. I only have issues against control and cthun warrior (because of Bran to Twin Emperor followed by Ancient Shieldbearer--I can never handle that. It's OP) and against priests.
HEy man great deck. Any update on the deck. I want to know if this is still good at season 28 ladder. Any revisions? Keep us updated :)
