My take on a Token-esque Shaman deck that makes use of the effect of the new Shaman legendary card Zentimo to deal burst damage to end the game in a fashion similar to the Witchwood/Boomsday Token Druid deck.

The deck should play similarly to 

Muzzy's Evolve Shaman - Spring Championship 2017

Minion (20) Ability (8) Weapon (2)

in the early game, with minions such as Fire Fly, Saronite Taskmaster and Flametongue Totem to gain board presence early, then using Likkim to maintain that presence until the later stages of the game, where a flexible combo package allows the player to play out a game plan that fits the match-up  they are facing.

The Zentimo + Unstable Evolution combo allows the player to evolve their entire board up to 7 times (depending on available mana) if 2 or 3 minions ever stick on the board.

Electra Stormsurge + Bloodlust allows a simple burst combo as early as turn 8 if the opportunity presents itself. While it isn't very often that a board capable of dealing a large amount of damage with Bloodlust sticks, the potential for the board to do so forces your opponent to remove all of your minions at every opportunity, and even if only 2 or 3 minions are ever on the board this combo allows the deck an additional 12 - 18 burst damage on top of the damage from the minions themselves.

Zentimo + Ancestral Spirit     ~>   (2) Rockbiter Weapon + Windfury On a board that needs to stick until the next turn

OR

Zentimo + (2) Rockbiter Weapon + Windfury allows you as the Shaman player to turn 3 (2 in the first case) 0 attack totems into a 36 damage OTK burst, similar to the win condition of the token druid deck mentioned before.

I believe that the flexibility of this deck and its ability to seamlessly transition its win condition make this sort of deck a viable shaman archetype to watch out for in the Rhastakhan's Rumble expansion.

Let me know what you think of the deck concept, and if you're interested I can elaborate on my thoughts about specific card choices and the like.
