I tried many decks and wasn't quit satisfied, so now i am playing handlock. It is actually working very well. Not sure if ill play enough to get to legend, but i am definitely going to play this for the rest of the season. Acidic swamp ooze is such a great card to have.
Thank you for the deck and replacement advice. I've been running Harrison Jones. Considered bloodhoof brave for taunt and the 3/4 C'thun buffer, jones seems good. So far 9-4 and most importantly 4-0 against shaman. Climbed back to rank 2 and looking promising so far. One of the losses was against this deck that you've posted. Others were a C'Thun renolock, midrange hunter (3-1 against hunters) and a Malygos roque that I drew poorly against.
Glad you are doing well with the list. even though beckoner and 3/4 you're using as substitutes, they won't as consistent as crazed worshipper. beckoner have a low impact on board and 3/4 dude doesn't guarantee buffing c'thun twice (which each c'thun cards really needs). You really need c'thun to be at 10/10 after two cards.
i'm undefeated with the deck at Legend and posted some replays if interested.
I got really fucking bored of playing shaman and hunter recently, and sick of being matched with warriors. I decided to try a different route and built and refined a new handlock deck. I've now taken it into ranked and it is doing very well against all decks that i encounter so far, and i think this is what i will be laddering with from now on.
Whether or not it gets me to legend, who knows. I probably won't play enough. I am winning consistently though, and i destroyed a handful of shamans hunters and warriors recently, so i am satisfied. Acidic Swamp Ooze <3
The deck is in my signature below if you would like to try it. Maybe if enough people start playing handlock again we can control the shaman population. Have your shamans spayed or neutered. bobbarker.jpeg
Currently rank 3 with N'zoth Shaman. It wrecks all kinds of aggro and midrange decks, but looses to Control Warriors and C'thun warriors. Gonna push for legend with this deck. If I'm facing to many warriors... What deck do you guys recommend then?

Everything that isn't about elephants is irrelephant.
PLaying tempo mage this season.. Easily get to rank 4 than it was a bit harder to rank 3 with 3* and than yesterday baam. 0-7. 0-8. dont know what happened, so salty guys. thought i will hit legend this season for the first time but like something went wrong.. Tempo mage is my favorite class an playing style and dont want to change to cancer but after this horrible streak i am having 50 % wr :(.. so frustrated, having little time cause of work so every hour of playing is crucial
Still using my C'thun deck. Currently 9-0 in Legend and ranked 128
I have tried your deck a fair bit lately, and I really don't understand how you perform so well with this deck. I'm having big trouble with Shamans, hunters and Control warriors.. Dropped exactly a rank today with this deck.

It's not the easiest deck to play and control isn't for everyone. Watch my replays and you'll understand how I perform so well. :) I'm 10-0 vs Shaman which was the intent of this deck.
I'm trying to make the climb from rank 5 to legend in the next few days, I have access to Midrange Shaman, Tempo Mage, Freeze Mage, and Zoolock. What do you think has the best chance of getting to legend if i focus purely on one deck?
Started season with Malygos Rogue and played it to Rank 5 where I was unable to play it good enough to have more then 50% win rate.
Switched to Midrange Shaman and it worked pretty well. Actually I had to play 90 games with Shaman for golden skin and planned to finish legend run and this task at once, but now I'm still need about 50 wins. So this deck is really good, I can only advice to use it to everyone.
To play it well I could suggest to watch Lifecoach last streams, he played this deck (with some strange card choices) on stream and explained a lot of nuances. I really started to play it much better after his videos. Even when he misplayed he explain correct play and it's much better to learn on his mistakes without losing your own stars :)
@Redvader: you need to play a lot to climb from Rank 5, only 5 days left, and last days of the season is always very hard. I used most generic Midrange Shaman deck, with Ragnaros, without Harrison or any other tech, it's best working deck from all I tried (others were Malygos Rogue, Dragon Warrior, Malygos Druid, Midrange Hunter). Zoolock is a food for any Midrange Shaman, Tempo Mage seems pretty average choice (or even below) for me, and I feel Freeze Mage is simply not good enough in Standard.

I know how to play this control deck, but I don't think it's consistent enough. I just played a game, I mulliganed for Axe, and got it, but all my other cards were Geddon, and 2 x Ancient Shieltbearer.. An the midrange hunter I played against got Highmane out of Barnes... How do I come back from that?
Maybe I'm just unlucky, but that opening has happened 4 out of 5 games in a row

First time I went legend, woohoo, feels good man :)
Mainly used this aggro freeze deck, sometimes switched to my own version of Midrange Shaman when I wanted a change (notably one storm + one forked lightning, because I only own one storm :p)
Made the final climb in rank 1 with Aggro Freeze :)

Isn't that variance? you should know as an experience player. Can you send me your replays to your games so i can analyze. hearthstone deck tracker allows you to upload it online for public viewing.

Planning to up the ladder with this deck next season. Based this off of a Rank 1 Legend deck, so I'm hoping it works out well.
Cheap decks are my specialty.

Has been working rather smoothly and currently rank 4

I just hit legend for the first time, playing Malyrogue. Evolved Kobold is awesome in that deck for the shaman matchup.

Should you craft/disenchant (Golden) Sylvanas or Ragnaros?
Find out in the: ULTIMATE dust guide for Hall of Fame cards
Reached Legend with midrange shaman (i know cancer...) last night
About 40% of my games from rank 5 onwards were against midrange shaman and i managed to win 80% of those games
I wrote a mini guide in my deck which talks about the mirror match up if anyone is interested
guide is definitly needed
