So the idea is to get at least three 7 health Shudderwocks on the field and then having the Star Aligner battlecry go off. You obtain three 7 health Shudderwocks by buffing Shudderwock up to 7 health using Electrowrights battlecry. Then Shudderwock summons 2 more 7 health copies of itself with Saronite Chain Gang before the Star Aligner battlecries go off. The Lesser Sapphire Spellstone is there to have a 5+ cost spell in your hand when you play Shudderwock, and otherwise the rest of the deck is the usual Shudderwock Shaman core, except for Hagatha the Witch, since that would ruin the combo. If Prince Keleseth buffs up Shudderwock to a 7/7, then you need to be careful to not play Electrowright since you would end up with 8 health Shudderwocks when you start the combo.
Not only is this combo simply worse than the normal Shudderwock deck, but there still is a significant chance that it will fail if the Shudderwock battlecries go off in the wrong order. But when the stars finally align (pun totally intended), and you get that glorious win, then this deck will be the best way to get onto the next Trolden video.
I'd probably run boisterous bard too just to improve the consistency of the combo, as atm you rely entirely on the order being exactly saronite > banker > keleseth, which is a bit too much to expect imo
The idea is to have Keleseth apply the buff to the Shudderwock before Shudderwock ever gets played. The Banker is only there to ensure Shudderwock is in your deck when you play Keleseth (while having no 2 drops in the deck). The problem with Boisterous Bard is that you need to have three other copies of Shudderwock on the board before you buff their health with it, since Boisterous Bard doesnt buff itself, and thus Saronite Chain Gang wont be able to summon a 7 health Sudderwock if Boisterious Bard does happen early on. With a 7 health copy Shudderwock in your hand from Keleseth, you only need to summon 2 more using Saronite Chain Gang before the Star Aligner battlecries go off, making it slightly more consistent.
I didn't mean to replace the keleseth package, I meant along with but I can see that giving 8 health minions so maybe not the best idea
