The goal of this deck is to use your sticky/value early game elementals to set up a board where you can play Spirit of the Frog and cycle through your low cost spells to draw into burn that you save for later in the game after you've pressured the opponent with your big boy elementals, he plays a taunt to try to live, and then you can just pile on the damage with your battlecries+Lightning Bolt+Lava Burst+Likkim. This deck has a lot of reach, so the general plan is to try to control board until you can start slamming your big elementals and sometime during the midgame use Spirit of the Frog to cycle in to cards like Lava Burst.
It's a simple but solid game plan, and those are the ones you need in order to climb with Shaman.
Also there's a nice little synergy in there with Ancestral Spirit and Spirit of the Frog because he will respawn with stealth, usually giving you a full turn of cycling spells with him.
Good Luck!
I took out the Ancestral Spirit and replaced it with Hagatha. Works amazing ! Gives you a little extra health if you need it and with all the minions in this deck it has great synergy. AND it works as a board clear if you need it, with some big sticky minions you dont have to worry to much about losing your board either. Went from 20 to 10 in about 3 hours with this deck. Shaman always lacked card draw in most of its decks and for the most part this deck does NOT have that problem, it can with some horrible draws but thats just rng for ya. Thanks for this deck, Im a multiple legend rank player and I main shaman, been MIA for a while and your deck actually made me wanna play the game and I enjoyed it too. Keep up the great work!
Awesome feedback! So glad to hear it, I think I’m in the same boat as you in a lot of ways. Yeah I was never sure about the ancestral spirit. Sadly the deck is phasing out but I think the concept is timeless. Control the board and ramp up the pressure while accumulating burn as your win condition, we’ll see how that translates to the next expansion. Cheers.
I see a spot for Ozruk
What would you replace?! Honest question cause for me, Ozruk, unless you replace a 6 cost card or up will make the deck too top heavy, early game can be rough, mid to late game this card would be too little too late IMO
So true, hehe. I mostly play with my own, sucky decks and get wins only coz i am so low on the ladder ;D And of course there was a dude with this deck and all golds :D
Guess we are all just supposed to make our own decks?! Congrats on being a salty fuck :)
why u keep talking about Lava Burst. if its not even in the deck
It is in the deck, at least i see it in the deck list.
why u keep asking questions. when they don't even make sense
Any replacements for electra and kalimos?
Kalimos, Primal Lord is a hard to replace card because it's soooo versatile, and electra is very unique in what he does... My best guess is maybe try like 1 Bonemare and 1 Thunderhead.
Got deluded by this deck. Today after 7 losses in a row I’ve had a second thought.
Odd mage, copy rogue, control warlock, control priest just destroy this deck.
Duplicate
Sorry to hear that. But at the end of the day it is just a shaman deck in a meta where you would probably better off playing a net deck from one of the classes you mentioned. I was able to climb to 4 with it but hopefully people can atleast have some entertaining games like we saw in the videos below.
While I agree that this may not be the best deck ever, I disagree with your statement. I've been running it with just a few minor changes and I've yet to lose to priest, be it gallery or control. Or control warlock for that matter.
Other than that, I agree about odd mage, but I don't really know what you are refering to when you say "copy rogue".

This deck is absolutely awesome! it's simple yet highly effective and quite entertaining to run as well. Burning people for 10+ damage in a turn due to electra combos is definitely something most players don't expect.
I made a video showcasing the deck in action, I really hope you all enjoy!
Nice deck! I think there should be a Thunderhead somewhere though (probably instead of Fire Plume Phoenix)
You may be right, but the reason I stayed away from those or any other cards that kinda require overload/spells to activate because the goal is really to save those up and combo with frog if that makes sense? Like I'd rather have a card that shines without the requirement of using one of my overload/spells to activate it. Anyways I could be wrong! Love to hear your results.
Also Not sure about the Ancestral Spirit, yet. Can be a bit hit or miss, so maybe that's a sub.
Cheers
I'll let you know how it goes :)
I'm also trying Elementary Reaction instead of Spirit of the Frog as the draw engine, and thrown in Glacial Shards instead of Al'Akir the Windlord and Ancestral Spirit to improve the early game (not sure about this last change though)
