This is the best performing deck for me day 1 where i hit Top 50 (22-8, 73,3%) with it.
**The deck feels bad so there will be no other update unless something changed. Tried lots of things but nothing seems to work. If you still want to play it this is probably the best version of this deck deck but it feels weak. **
So your main goal for mulligan vs all the classes is to find your Spirit of the Frog .This is the best card in your deck and will help cycle lots of cards in order to find your burst to kill your opponent. Don't get scared to cycle some of your burst like Lightning Bolt , because it can deal damage , cycle is more important. After that Fire Fly and Knife Juggler are a keep and Earthen Might too if you have Fire Fly and some times maybe Flametongue Totem too in order to push early damage. Likkim and Unbound Elemental is a keep most of the times especially if you have some good cheap overload spells. Thunderhead is your best win condition against aggro decks.
In generally you want to push some early damage with your board till you play your Spirit of the Frog to cycle as much as you can and try find your burst with them. One of your main win conditions is Doomhammer into Rockbiter Weapon for at least 10 damage or combos with Electra Stormsurge and burst damage.
Take your time every turn to think the best possible move because this deck is pretty hard to play perfectly it has lots of micro decisions that can make the difference between winning and losing a game.
Changes:
8/12/2018 : - Krag'wa, the Frog - Feral Spirit - 1 Earthen Might - 2 Totemic Smash + Bloodmage Thalnos + Earth Shock + 2 Knife Juggler + Voltaic Burst
I took out Krag'wa, the Frog , because i felt that i was getting most of the times 2 spells max from him and some times was even a bad top deck because i had used my spells , so with him comes out and Totemic Smash which didn't perform so good in this deck and without Krag'wa, the Frog bringing them back was performing even worst. I add one Earth Shock because there are lots of annoying taunts out there you need to get passed to deal damage with your weapons - minions and can draw a card too with Spirit of the Frog. I add Bloodmage Thalnos because it helps your burst deal more damage and can draw a card too witch is pretty useful. I put 2 Knife Juggler because i wanted to have more pressure early game to push some damage and synergies perfectly with Voltaic Burst , Thunderhead and Flametongue Totem. Feral Spirit was pretty good but it doesn't make the cut unfortunately.
What are your thoughts on Spellzerker? I notice this deck lacks a 2 drop besides Knife Juggler and can be activated with an extra zap for a bit more extra burst. Perhaps replacing Bloodmage Thalnos for a copy since you usually dont want to be doing Bloodmage Thalnos on turn 2 anyway?
Just wanted to say great deck as well :). I love any and every shaman deck!
Its a good idea but Bloodmage Thalnos is just better. Yes you have -1 spell power but there is no condition to activate it and it draws you a card too that is pretty important for an aggressive deck. Bloodmage Thalnos on turn 2 if you don't have any other play is a pretty solid move for deck thinning. I'm glad you like it :)
Hey pheebs!
Love the deck and have so much fun playing it, have u thought about adding Zentimo?
Yes i have try it and it perform pretty bad , its just not the deck for zentimo. Most of the damage you want it to burn your enemy not to buff your minions or kill theirs. Zentimo is probably ok in a midrange shaman where you have big board and you can use Unstable Evolution. I'm glad you like it :)
Yeaa i love it! U have proba tried it but haunting visions?
No i haven't tried this card , because i don't have it still , but seems reasonable to try if you have it i just don't fill the random discover will be so good because there are a lot of bad spells but you can try it and let me know :)
I lost 10 in a row at level 20. This deck sucks. I just fought a priest that had a card that gave them 40 health and unlimited cards with taunt, blood mage, and armor. It seems everybody has insane decks and alway draws perfect cards. There seems to be an unlimited number of 10k decks at level 20.
One of the first things i said was that this is probably a tier 3 deck and not the best for legend climb. Next thing i said was that its a pretty hard deck to play it properly. You cant expect win with a deck like this if you don't have lot of experience with the game but for sure you can hit legend with it if you played correctly. Keep practicing :)
bump. Great deck!
Thanks a lot :)
Hi Phoeba,
Can you make a guide on this list? I been playing another version of this deck that more minion based but I cannot get this one to work. Can you go through the matchups and mulligans?
Thanks a lot!
Hi i believe i have mentioned most of the important things of this list , if you are talking of another list you want me to look let me know.
Looks like another TIER-4 shaman deck. Requires too much luck to win.
Well if the meta becomes only aggro decks and druid yes it will be a tier 3 deck not tier 4. Right now is a tier 2 deck , have reached top 100 with this deck yesterday so its still good and it performed pretty well.
I didn't have Thunderhead Bloodmage Thalnos or the x2 Likkim so what I decided to do was keep Krag'wa, the Frog then add x2 Witch's Apprentice, Storm Chaser, Bloodlust.
This has nice synergy because the witch's are cheap and give you more spells that synergize with Krag'wa, the Frog and Electra Stormsurge and cheap targets for the Bloodlust and Flametongue Totem buffs. I like the Frog because getting your Lava Burst or Rockbiter Weapon back for Doomhammer is a good win con. The Storm Chaser guarantees you Bloodlust and is a body so that's nice.
Prob going to struggle against well tuned meta decks but right now climbing low ladder it's fast and feels FUN to play with the synergy. Knife Juggler feels very weak though I realize you had Thunderhead to support it, still feels inconsequential, I haven't been eeking games out by needling them to death it's been mega buff blow outs so I may experiment with replacing him with some anti-aggro like Lightning Storm or Mana Tide Totem to cycle or Likkim but as someone else said 4 weapons seems clunky, barely have time to get off 1 Doomhammer as is.
Thunderhead is a pretty core card for this deck cause is your main win condition against aggro decks and synergies pretty well with the deck. 2 Likkim are a must this weapon is just too good to not include and 4 weapon is not the problem you play 2 Doomhammer because you want to draw it much more because is one of your main win conditions same way kingsbane rogue runs 2 life steal cards when only 1 needed. Now thalnos can be changed with Krag'wa, the Frog or Feral Spirit or a second Earthen Might. Bloodlust is bad in this deck you don't win with board , board is for early turns to push damage so you can kill them with burst damage. The other 2 cards you said are generally bad and especially in this deck that had bad synergy. You don't play cards just for high roll you need consistency. Knife Juggler synergies pretty well with the whole deck and helps the early damage push i told you before , its not for Thunderhead turns its for early damage push but can work with Thunderhead too. Anti aggro cards is just bad in an aggressive deck you don't want them against control decks and doesn't help you against aggro decks. Your draw card and best card of your deck is Spirit of the Frog its amazing how much you can do with it. As a said it's a pretty hard deck with tons of micro decisions that are game changing but it's pretty fun and it has that old feel of aggro shaman which is nice :)
Any replacement for Bloodmage Thalnos ?
Krag'wa, the Frog if you have him if not you can try Earthen Might or Feral Spirit
awesome thanks. Im getting so much better at this deck!
I'm glad you like it keep practicing :)
