Thanks to Tommy Wave for the showcase!

Soooo I made it to Legend last week with my own take on Even-Shaman. Over 100 Games were played with a final score of 63-41 and we got to Legend. Average game length was 7 minutes therefore 12:08 hours in a total  of 104 games from Rank 5 to legend. Turns out Barnes and Ancestral Spirit are good cards...at least the decks is good enough to forgive you when you don´t highroll. The Video above is just some idiot (me) on his final game to show you why it´s such a fun deck to play. But lets get into the guide!

 

Strategy & Win Condition

Like any Even-Shaman you just play your stuff and either Crackle them to death or win by insane tempo turns like 0 Mana 5/5 Thing from Below into a Sea Giant on turn 4/5. But well, there is another win condition, play Barnes and either use Ancestral Spirit on the mostly above average 1/1 that gets summoned or use it when trading your stuff in. NO ONE ever expected it and turns out giving your Sea Giant windfury and Ancestral Spirit to trade into 2x 4 Mana 7/7 wins you games on the spot!. You might get a Piloted Shredder , [cardRagnaros the Firelord[/card] or even a The Lich King and get them in their full strength due to Ancestral Spirit yet again. ALWAYS play Barnes to the left of your board, you never know when you summon a Flametongue Totem

 

Mulligan

Always keep that Maelstrom Portal against Odd-Rogues and Paladins as well as either Totem Golem or Murkspark Eel I also keep a Thing from Below and occasionally Flametongue Totem when you know you will be ahead on board on turn 2/3. A Devolve against Priests and other Shamans might win you a game on the spot. During all my games on EU to Legend i was matched against Shaman 40% of the time and Priests 17%,,, Wild is a lot of variety btw. Vs Kingsbane just hope they get no Leeching Poison and keep all early game cards due to them using multiple Cold Light Oracle to draw

 

Replacements

Thtat´s the annoying part, if you dont have Barnes The Lich King and Ragnaros the Firelord than its not the deck anymore... BUT you can still go for any budget version that includes Knife Juggler and Dire Wold Alpha to get more early game pressure. We don´t run any Epics which is nice and if you got Aya Blackpaw go for it. You might include Jade Spirit for bigger Green Man and have a different version with a similar spirit to it. I am not a fan of talking about replacements for Rare/Common cards, they are just too cheap to miss out on

 

FAQ

Q: I got 29/30 cards should I craft the missing Legendary?

A: Are you ever going to use it again? If so go for it, If no than keep that 1600 dust for the next expansion!

 

Q: Do you stream by any chance
