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:
This deck is decent at comeback. It sounds like you're overextending on board, which is something you should never do.
Holy ***king ***t, man!
I had a holiday and decided to spend it playing hs. My main hero is warrior and i was going to take rank 4 today (i was 6). So i spent almost my whole day playing with tempo warrior and what do you think - those shamies and miracles rolled me back to the rank 9. Pure hatred.
An hour ago i saw your article and told myself - ffs, i'm gonna use their own power against them. Oh, man, i had. It took me 1 hour to get back to my rank 6 whereas i lost whole day losing. If only i've found your deck in the noon.
Cheers, mate! You really changed my day and mood! Thanks a lot!
Logged in just to say I decided to do my own testing on this deck. 25 games: 22W-3L, 88% winrate. Granted, that was from Rank 16 to Rank 9, but the point is, this is a solid choice for laddering. Great deck and write up!
400 Gold away from Tunnel Trogg any replacement for now ?
DontBePotato: 2 things
1st off in ur new video did u remove lightning storm or squire for harrison? im hovering at rank 6 rn.
2nd: p awesome deck :)
just harrisoned a doomhammer ur the best man
Very nice deck. Haven't lost yet.
sadly Warrior Decks are stupidly Overpowered, but unless its a warrior i can win pretty easy.
God i hope they nerf warriors
4 of the 6 decks of the herthpwn top are smorc shaman! cm on people let's play to have fun, not to laddering beiing a cancer
This deck is midrange, not smorc
if 90% of your turns are hitting face don't try to rationalize it we all know how all shaman players play
"shaman players" lol
Swapped one thunderbuff valiant with mukla's champion. Greatly increase the totems survivability and improved winrate.
i dont have tunel trogg.For what should i replace it?
Great deck tho keep up the good work!
Craft It.
well i need to buy the adventure for it and i dont wanna spend real money..am trying to save coins but its gonna take 2 long thats why am asking.
Unfortunately, Tunnel Trogg isn't replaceable in this deck. Need to trade early-game for midrange decks and it almost always trades up; or at least lures out a spell from opponent that would kill something larger like your Totem Golem
Tried to work around it for a while, too. But there's no replacement. You only need to purchase the first two wings of LoE, not the whole thing (even though I think the whole adventure is worth it).
Before I had Tunnel Trogg, I replaced it with a Lowly Squire. Not close to TT, but a 1-drop that you can buff by shelling out Totems. Good luck!
use what you can man don't listen to these shitters telling you to waste money to buy a card just do you
