UPDATE 3
Good news everyone! I've perfected the deck! (this wasn't a professor putricide pun but i just read it after i typed it and it was amazing)
This deck is now amazing and craftable. Insane value becomes more insane if you add some tempo too!!!
I think in last 2 days i just pefected the control shaman archetype in this expansion. I've worked hard and it paid off. When i first started this deck my win rate was at %26. Now it's %63 and i count the old games too! Which is incredible.
I explained all the changes except one in the video below and that one is -1 Rain of Toads , +1 Barista Lynchen
Rain of Toads is a good card but it avoids getting my Hagatha's Scheme 's early with Storm Chaser 's and it's terrible. I lost games just because of that.
Barista Lynchen is not a must have card but helps alot. I've had some amazing combos with it. If you are lucky enough she can win you more games!
I'll upload some insane games i've had while i was streaming so go check them out below when they are ready!
Thanks for all the kindness and support! And suggestions! You guys are amazing.
So, after all those likes and good comments, why havent i done a proper guide yet, So here it is!
THEORYCRAFTING PHASE AND MAIN IDEA OF THE DECK:
Some of you may know that there is a really good professional Hearthstone player named Viper. In Rastakhan's Rumble expansion, he joined a HGC tour with a unique and unheard of Control Shaman deck named Peanut Shaman. The deck was so fun and difficult to play and I loved it. Played it alot. So before Rise of Shadows came out, I saw cards like Hagatha's Scheme, Archivist Elysiana and I thought that I can continue Viper's amazing legacy even better! So here it is, the heavy Control Fatigue Value Shaman is here!
Main idea of this deck is stall the game to lategame, then take advantage of late game value from the cards like Swampqueen Hagatha, Archivist Elysiana, Krag'wa, the Frog, Shudderwock and stuff like that.
If the game goes into the Fatigue phase, No one can keep up with your value game and you win.
CARD EXPLANATIONS:
Earth Shock: Who doesn't like a cheap silence? And the infamous Twilight Drake killer!
Omega Mind: Cheaper and more powerful Reno Jackson basically. Use this with Hagatha's Scheme in lategame and see the concede screen from your opponent.
Haunting Visions: It's basically a free spell. You just choose according to the state you are in which is cool. Also a nice combo with Krag'wa, the Frog
Lightning Storm: Nice AoE against aggro decks. Also a good combo with Bloodmage Thalnos
Hex: Classic Removal, Fantastic with Krag'wa, the Frog
Storm Chaser: The most important key card to this deck. It prevents late game dead Hagatha's Scheme draws, and enables Sunreaver Warmage
Hagatha's Scheme: The reason this deck happened
Krag'wa, the Frog: Insane value card. Just one more Hex sometimes means winning instantly. Good combo with Haunting Visions
Swampqueen Hagatha: Insane value card. Good combo with Barista Lynchen [/card]and [card]Shudderwock
Hagatha the Witch: Perfect value generator and good board clear, The heart of the deck.
Walking Fountain: Amazing powehouse, minion remover and survivability.
Shudderwock: This is not a shudderwock deck so i hate when people label this as Shudderwock Shaman. Shudderwock is here to support in every scenario. Good combo with all other battlecry cards. Especially Krag'wa, the Frog
Acidic Swamp Ooze: There are tons of weapons in this meta, it's a must! Good combo with Barista Lynchen and Shudderwock
Bloodmage Thalnos: Cheap draw, Cheap removal support. Amazing.
Doomsayer : Good stall option, amazing against aggro. Fits well with other stall cards.
Proud Defender: Tar Creeper on Steroids. Helps with the board early.
Barista Lynchen: Win condition and almost a tech card against Tesspionage Rogues with Acidic Swamp Ooze value. Otherwise good with Swampqueen Hagatha and all battlecry minions.
Sunreaver Warmage: Great tempo swing in early-mid game and has perfect synergy with our deck.
Zilliax: Necessary card in every control deck.
Archivist Elysiana: Amazing fatigue preventer, bomb removal. Also you can basically rebuild your deck against OTK decks. Brain of the deck.
Saving incase of power outage, I'm continuing this right now
Current state of the deck and the future plans video:
GAME VIDEO FOOTAGE!!!
INSANE EMERISS COULDN'T SAVE HIM FROM MAX VALUE
BARISTA IS INSANE WITH COIN!
ELYSIANA IS NOW ANTI OTK TECH!
FIGHTING AGGRO IS LIKE FIGHTING A MOSQUITO!!!!
0 MANA PYROBLAST TO FACE IN 2019???
Thanks for all the likes and comments, suggestions. This is not the final change, i will update it again and again.
Thanks for everyone who made a video about it, here's the spotlight videos people have done.
Can i place Harrison Jones in the deck?
why not, Barista Lynchen is pretty useless
Cost me 7000 dust to craft this deck and it was worth it. Not only is this deck super fun, but I've also been doing great in ranked. Thanks!
This is a masterpiece, absolutely amazing. I always loved control decks and this is the apotheosis of a deck which needs skillful decisions to be made and both meta/decks knowledge. If you make your plays correctly and think profoundly about them you'll find yourself winning every game in which the odds aren't 100% against you. Amazing man, thanks for this deck. It costs a ton of dust but If you guys can afford It and are willing to play and learn a lot you'll be rewarded in the long run.
I use this list (thanks a lot for such an entertaining deck) but I've swapped one of the 4 mana minions (the one who has +2 attack if is your only minion) for a spirit of the frog. I think it improves the deck and I'm thinking about swapping the remaining one for a witch's brew (or whatever it is called, the card that heals 4 for 2 mana and has echo).
Edit: I know the reason this minion is in the list is because of aggro decks. But I've faced a lot of them and I didn't feel this guy helped enough. So another way of helping you drawing the scheme is using the frog as I said earlier.
I've posted comment a week ago saying that it's too early to craft this deck, as It might not be a tier-1. Well, I was wrong. This deck is great against agro and bombs.
I played vs another Shaman deck (very similiar) and i lost. I can only say it is your fault and this deck is bad.
how about BGH ? its a really good removal against all the decks and it synergies with shudder too.
And cuz we have so many elementals in the deck like 4 adding a few another elemental synergies for early game could make it better or not ? what you guys think !
Quick Edit having really fun playing this deck except losing so fast other than that its quite enjoyable deck and picking the bombs with storm chaser is the best :)
+1 first time i have fun with a shaman deck, hate aggro, love control, thank you.
I have been really struggling with the deck recently (Rank 8-9). I really love the deck but I've been losing a lot and I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong. I put a link to a replay I had against Mage and I have no idea how I could've done any better. If anyone could watch it and give me some feedback I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

I think you needed to doomsayer instead of totem on turn two you can’t give aggro mage any tempo or they will really punish you. But I’m thinking this is just one of your worst matchups with this deck because it doesn’t even take off until turn 8+ and mage can easily kill you by then
Great deck, so far 5-0 at rank 6-7.
Matches vs warriors take some time (had two 28 round fights) but Archivist Elysiana is doing superb job in fatigue games as well with removing the bombs.
Good idea vs warrior is to search for Ancestral Spirit and use it on Walking Fountain - had rounds with 16 hp healed :D
Hey folks, got suggestions for replacements of 1 Doomsayer and 1 Omega Defender? I get Defender is a great source of healing and maybe I'll craft it, but if it's not essential I'd rather replace it for the time being.
Loving this deck so far. After losing my Big Spell Control Mage deck to rotation I've been looking for a way to fill that empty void of not having a favorite control deck and I think this is it. I do like Control Warrior but, it just gets super boring after 3-4 games, I can play this super value list for 13 games straight and not even get bored.
Keep up the solid work OP. Your videos in the description were huge help with the learning curve to the deck.
Thanks for this deck! It is REALLY fun. Great in late game, and I can finally beat bomb warrior.
However I struggle a lot in early game, murlocs usually kill me if I don't start with lightning storm.
I don't have Barista so I added Witch's Brew and replaced a Doomsayer for a Feral Spirit to try to survive until turn 6/7 that is when we can play our best spells and minions
Hello! I've been playing your deck and I love it so very much. It works out pretty well, I'm 14-5 with it, but I can't beat some Control Mech Warrior and Khadgar decks, as I'm heavily lacking draw. Do you know anyway to work around this? I'm running the same list, but against some matchups I just completely run out of cards outside some removal and hope to topdeck, fun deck though :)
Despite trying to Fatigue, the only way I can win vs Control Warrior is after we both Elysiana, but beforehand I struggle dealing with Bombs and all the armor, and one Omega Mind makes it hard to heal through it all. And lastly it doesn't help that the Bomb's cost 5, therefore Storm Chaser pulls them and becomes a dead card.
Hey, I came up with a similar build running the earthen might, nimbus package. Might + fountain is pretty good.
Also, I highly recommend a copy of witches brew. Brew + Frog is like 120 heal. Pretty decent against bombs.
I dont run earthen shock, visions and storm chaser. Storm chaser is really questionable tbh. All it does draw is bombs...makes your shudder a liability in the late game...
Absolutely love the deck dude! Following since the first update,imma play it today on ~500 legend and go for top 50. Thank you so much <3
+1 for the shameless selfie profile picture.
Thank you for amazing deck, I had a lots of fun playing it!
Actually, I have question. I don't have Barista Lynchen, so I've decided to replace it with The Black Knight. What do you think about it? Have you tested it?
Thank you again :)
