Hi!
Having a winrate over 70% always seems silly. Having a winrate of 85% is only possible because of small sample size and luck.
Now that you know that, here are screenshots from my Track-o-Bot for some proof:

I recommand any new players to this deck to check out Lothar's vods as he is playing this deck from rank 17-Legend on his stream, will be gold for mulligan and play advice! :)

A few days ago I got this deck idea from my friend Zorkthar, he got it from watching Tyler? And so on. This decks charm is its chance of creating insane high roll situations using cards as Barnes, Madam Goya and Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound.
The version I first saw of it used 2x Thing from Below, but I switched them to 1x Sunwalker and 1x Cairne Bloodhoof.
I wanted to increase the chance of rolling into a high value drop and not have too many "simple" drops that could hit our Barnes-Goya-Y'shaarj, rage unbound.
If we take a fast look at the deck we can see that we have a lot of AoE removal, mixed in with healing and card draw. So this deck goal is to survive until Mid-Late game, then we start to steamroll or just auto win on hitting an insane highroll!
Fun cards+combinations to think about:
Ancestral Spirit: Extremly strong in this kind of deck, but weak to cards like Hex and Sap, remember to play around those cards when you can.
Devolve: You probably already thought about this, but this is a great card to counter Finja's! Also to mess up Rogues hitting big Edwins or concealing Questing Adv / Gadgetzan, Finja, the Flying Star.
Lava Shock: Insanely good card to plan board clears around or Earth Elemental turns, use it and abuse it!
Far Sight: Card draw + cheaper minions or free spells, can be used for crazy tempo plays. Tho we have Lightning bolt / Devolve / Portal, which usually feel like a dead draw, but it's just 6/30 of our cards.
Barnes: You can be greedy and wait with Barnes until turn 6 to combo what ever he draws with a Ancestral Spirit!
Madam Goya: Try to have 1x totem alive at turn 5 to combo with her at turn 6, otherwise you will find yourself having to wait until turn 8.
*Note* Using Madam Goya on a totem can make your Y'Shaarj draw that totem later!
Y'Shaarj + Madam Goya: Can both draw you White Eyes 10/10 deathrattle with taunt The Storm Guardian
Hope you enjoy this deck and can have some fun in the meta before expansion hits, this deck isn't for everyone as it's very different to play.
Lothar played my version on stream today, he faced what is standard in the meta; Shamans, Warrior, Jade Druids and so on.
If you want to see some gameplay and mulligan advice then check out his vod, it's time stamped at when he starts playing it, enjoy!

Really fun and really original. I'm hanging around rank 9 currently. Having a lot of trouble against Reno lock though (0 for 5). Jade druid is a coin flip, but it matches up pretty well against most other things I'm running into. Unfortunately, Reno and jade druid seem to show up a lot.
I've subbed -1 Earth Elemental + 1 Sylvanas, seeing mixed results.
update: swapped Sylvanas for maly. Synergizes well if you farsee maly or any spell (essentially makes them all 0 so you can drop a maly and play a board clear or 8 damage lighting bolt on turn 9/10). gotten up to 7 with this set up.
Awesome to hear, keep it up! It's nice when you can play something that is fun and wins, not everyday! :D
I went 18-3 to legend and hit 85% winrate all the way, not a big sample size but it did it's job :) Was from start of rank 3 to Legend.
took the legend, of course with slight modifications. Europe
Hey,
cool deck idea, so far I had a ton of fun with it and finally a decent idea for Madam Goya! Thumbs up =)
Made a video for the deck: VOD Value Control Shaman
Hi!
Awesome video, too bad you only faced Priests but a win is a win :D
Hope you keep enjoying the deck, gl hf! :)
Yes, I played it to rank 5 now! Combo time, best time in my opinion haha! :)
I like the idea of Goya in a Shaman deck, since she gets more value from bouncing off cheap tokens like totems. I'm gonna try this deck out, although I'll need to craft the Elemental Destructions. Any replacement for White Eyes and maybe even a single Far Sight, though? I was thinking maybe Thing From Below to replace White Eyes, although it could be a different legendary around the same cost, like Sylvannas, Harrison Jones, etc.. As for Far Sight, I dunno; maybe one of those 0/3 totems for card draw?
Hmm maybe you could use a Hallazeal the Ascended , good defensive mechanism and a worthy replecement. Otherwise stuff like sylvanas could also be golden, something that can give great value in any situation. Harrison will most likely be a dead draw a lot of the times + bad with Barnes, Goya + Y'shaarj. White eyes death rattle minion the storm guardian is insane in this deck :(
Far sight is too valiable to replace as a lot of your tempo and synergi in different matchups will come from your Far sight draw.
There is nothing wrong with trying a 0/3 totem as it's great for draw power, but you will lack a lot of tempo. Trying different tech is a greay way of improving tho so gl and hf! :)
Fun and solid!
Hi!
Vs aggro just mulligan for early AoE and Lava shock. If we hit Earth elemental at turn 5-6 we should be quiet golden!
Vs Druids I am usually more greedy, like saving Far sight trying to hit a good late game minion at midgame. Or hoping for a lucky Barnes dream at turn 4 with Ancestral spirit from Far sight.
Lothar used my deck at stream today, he played it for like 2 hours or something and faced Pirate war, shamans and jade druids. So it could be perfect to check the Vod for gameplay! :)
