UPDATE: I FINISHED #1 ON ASIA THIS SEASON, SECURED IT IN THE LAST MINUTE, LITERALLY, WITH THE NEW UPDATED LIST.
General guide:
Keep (in order of priority): Totem Golem (coin out with the coin usually then you can totem up next turn), Murkspark Eel (very good against enemies' early 2 drops), Flametongue Totem (almost always have a target turn 1), Thing From Below (you get it for very cheap this most often), Jade Claws (if you suspect you will be on the backfoot), Dire Wolf Alpha (weaker Flametongue and die easier), Knife Juggler.
Situational Keep: Devolve, Spellbreaker (good keep vs Warlock, Druid and Priest for their minions and Scarabs, but keep only 1).
Maelstrom Portal (keep against Paladin, try to get as much value as you can out of it for powerful swing, not worth it just to kill 2-3 minions unless you have good minions to follow up).
Sea Giant (keep 1 against Paladin, Shaman if good curve, if extremely good curve keep 1 against control).
Flamewreathed Faceless (keep both vs Druid, keep 1 vs Control).
Matchups:
Druid (slightly favoured): if you got strong minion pressure and a good Devolve turn then you should win this easily - Druids can't deal with multiple big hitters consecutively. Try to drop your big boys WITH a number of small stuffs to neutralize their Poison Seeds, don't play more than 4 small minions unless necessary to not play into Plague.
Hunter (slightly favoured): This deck can get burned out by Baku Hunter but you generally can stabilize pretty quickly. Just try to avoid face damage, play around Unleash the Hounds when you have a good board that could win within 2 turns.
Mage (favoured): this deck is not much different from Paladin - get on board very quickly and can play a wide board that is hard for Mages to deal with.
Paladin (favoured): Maelstrom Portal AND Healing Totem are your friends. A turn 1 Totem into Wolf/Flametongue completely shuts down their early game, while Thing from Below and Sea Giant create immense board swings.
Priest (slightly favoured): This deck is fast enough to pressure Big Priest. A right mix of wide board and big dudes will get you far. Nothing you can do about a Barnes into Statue turn 4 though (if that happens, silence/devolve the 1/1 and go face. If he can't kill the Statue, he can't resurrect it).
Rogue (favoured): I have no idea how I went 7-0, but it seems Rogue having to leverage their hero power and sacrificing their HP really helped. They get themselves into lethal range trying to fight for board very often.
Shaman (even): Most Shamans you see are Even Shaman (it's my fault sorry). Value trades and board swings with your big cards will help. Try to Devolve juicy targets like Flamewreathed Faceless. If it's Shudderwock, enjoy your free win.
Warlock (slightly unfavoured): Devolve and Spellbreaker helps. Try to play big dudes early, your opponent usually can't go for a Naga turn if they feel their life total is threatened by a big board. They have no answers for a Faceless/Sea Giant turn 4.
Are Aya and Thalnos irreplaceable?
Thalnos yes, Aya no
You can replace both of them with Shredder, but Aya is a very good card
Killer deck
Clickbait - No Reno in the deck?
Did you see the nick of the username that shared this deck? xD
No I did not, but still he should have included Reno if he names the deck that.
Suppose his name was just Jackson. The deck would call "Jackson's Rank 1 LEGEND Even Shaman".
It is not a rule to do this, however a lot of users put the name of their decks that way.
First game played, starving for card draw.
Any possible replacement for Greymane?
You didn't get it ? The entire deck rely on Greymane...
yes, replace it with any big dragon lolol
i know, but i dont have it, nor the dust for it. been using Brann instead, leads to so many mistakes from the opponent
Not having Genn Greymane will hurt the deck a bit. However, if you have Baku the Mooneater, you can choose to replace him with it. They're basically the same ;)
Look at Genn Greymane. It texted as "If your deck has only even-Cost cards, you starting Hero Power costs (1)." His ability TRIGGES at the beginning of the game (you don't have to play Genn Greymane itself.
The reason there is ONLY EVEN number cards (2/4/6/8/10.... etc.etc) is Genn. If you would play a 3 COST card (which is an ODD number) Genn won't trigger at the beginning at the game, and your hero power WON'T Cost 1 entire game.
The entire deck was BUILT AROUND Genn, if you can't craft it, don't play this deck. The deck give up so many good Cards (that are Odd number 1/3/5/7..etc) just to run Genn.
____________________________________
Baku the Mooneater is the same, but with ODD-Cost Cards. The difference here, your hero power won't cost 1, it will cost 2, but you will have an upgraded version of your hero power. Keep that in mind, in BAKU deck YOU CAN'T PLAY EVEN-Cost cards (2/4/6/8...).

Pretty new to wild, so of course this deck absolutely rampaged from rank 24 down to 15. I think I lost something like 5 or 6 games on the way down. I have won a couple times with Windspeaker + Flamewreathed Faceless/Sea Giant replacement for shredder a few others have mentioned. I also replaced one of the shredders with a Jade Spirit, but I think I am going to switch it back to shredder, or potentially Hex. I think it's worth mentioning these as potential replacements.
Thanks, it worked. First time legend!
Had replaced Aya Blackpaw with Ancestral Knowledge for draw instead.
I took out Knife juggler and both piloted shredders and added 2x Hex and a Windspeaker, and so far this deck has been amazing. I never really played shaman before, but thanks to this deck I went from rank 17 to 5 in 3 days! (My previous best was 11.. I am not a good player...) So thank you very much :)
