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:
plain shit as everyone here says. So why the f... does it have 1k upvotes?
i have 48% wr, how can i win vs: dragon riest, bubble pala, cw, midrange hunter, tempo mage? any tactics? or i have total unluck coz my cards go out 2 fast and i cant control the board
lol how
your tactics vs hunter?
Too many warriors on my way to play this... Replaced one Argent Squire with Acidic Swamp Ooze, still can't beat a single warrior out there... Whatever, this deck is still cancerous and not really fun to play
Easy climb my ass ... too much Hunters and C'tun Warriors out there
Shaman beats hunter like 55-60% of the time.
Not when you draw cards like I do ... #neverlucky
Streaming with this deck right now at twitch.tv/chulioz ! (German)
Excellent deck but if you dont' draw a Lighting Storm against an aggro lock you are simply dead..
Last season this deck was unstoppable, This season though you feel like people have learned to play around you and clear every single totem.. I switched to face shaman and it worked better.
Who knows maybe I was just running into unfavorable matchups but still a great deck.
I like the deck and guide but this won't get you past rank 15 this season. Fun while it lasted though.
I'd disagree, currently rank 10 on EU :)
havnt played hearthstone since early BRM
came back to play with this deck
currently rank 6
Great work! Both on doing the improvements AND the guide, best one I saw so far :)
19/18 - 13 in 2 hrs. I'll keep grinding to see how far it goes
Have to agree, doesnt seem so great as people are saying.
Then you are bad.
Loving this deck but thinking about subbing in totemic might somewhere to help keep the totems alive against the field clears since this is a totem based deck.
Can you sub doomhammer for ala'kir?
