The combo is Leeroy Jenkins + Windfury + Faceless Manipulator for 24, which is often good enough, but against Priest and the like the Abusive pushes it to 32. You need 3 ticks for the full combo, or just Far Sight a faceless or Leeroy (or Windfury for the 24dmg). I've never won a game without at least some part of the combo going off, so be wary of using combo pieces.
Does pretty good against everything I played against. I'm not very good, so my win/loss was very nearly 50/50, and that was at low (<12) ranks. Obviously bad against Control Warrior, and very good against Priests. Pretty good against Reno as it turns out, and I've survived nearly all pirate deck openers.
This was originally just a deck I made to do the combo and I had unpacked Soggoth the Slitherer a few days prior, so I threw him in. I have Rag too but haven't tried him in there, both are good Faceless targets, but Soggoth has been pretty clutch against some Reno opponents.
Does pretty well without Maelstrom Portal and with Jinyu Waterspeaker instead of Healing Wave. Two Elemental Destructions was too much, so I subbed a second Stormcrack instead. Feel free to undo that and tell me the results! NEEDS Lava Shock, so idk what I'll do after the rotation.
I'd love to know how I could make the deck better!
Right now, you'd be hoping Un'Goro brings a lot of card draw into the shaman class, or even neutral since you'll be losing the Azure Drakes and Ancestral Knowledge.
If nothing else comes about, Eternal Sentinels could replace the Lava Shocks to help with Overload, but they are expensive if you don't have them and just one usually isn't worth it as I've found (since I only have one).
lastly, the new Volcano card (15 random damage to all minions) is coming to help Shamans deal with the early game minions Pirates and sometimes Warlocks throw at you. so if you make this a control deck when Un'Goro drops, it could work really well!
Doesn't work without Thaurissan. 18 damage is ok (Leeroy+Windfury+Rockbiter), but control shaman can't do nothing for so many turns, at least in this meta. Volcano is an amazing card and I can't wait to see what control shaman will get as time goes on.
It seems inconsistent without even trying it but I love the new idea. keep it up man! I feel like you either need more control or a little better early game somehow. With a few new cards from Un'Goro to (hopefully) replace the cards cycling out to wild, this deck could become pretty competitive since no one will see it coming. until it gets popular of course.
