Hey Guys!
Yes, you read that correctly. This is the insane Miracle Shaman deck that I've been using on the ladder over the past few days. Here's the guide:
PLAY-STYLE
This deck is a combo deck, so we want to try and draw all of our combo pieces to kill the opponent. We can do this by either playing Gadgetzan Auctioneer + a bunch of cheap spells, or Spirit of the Frog + a chain of spells.
Our ideal plan is to draw Jepetto Joybuzz, and get Malygos or Alexstrasza for 1 mana. With a 1-cost Malygos, we can deal 43 damage to the opponent's face in just one turn with Lava Burst, Lightning Bolt and Totemic Smash. This is made easier against warriors with the Alexstrasza of course, as you can put them down to 15hp, and usually they don't have more than 20 armor around turn 10.
Finally, we can also use Chef Nomi to surpirse the opponent once we've drawn our whole deck. It demands a response from them, so it can also be used to stall in the late game, whilst you look for another combo piece.
MULLIGAN
For the mulligan, you want to keep:
Against Control: Spirit of the Frog, Far Sight, Jepetto Joybuzz. (Maybe a Gadgetzan Auctioneer if you have cheap spells as well)
Against Aggro: Spirit of the Frog, Hagatha's Scheme, Totemic Smash, Lightning Bolt.
ADVICE
This deck is very new, and i'm tweaking it every day to make it the best it can be. If you have any suggestions, be sure to put them in the comments below. As for playing the deck, it takes some time to adjust to this playstyle, and to learn to play it to its full potential. You need to be patient, and conservative with your board clears.
As long as you get either Malygos or Alexstrasza for 1 mana with Jepetto Joybuzz, the OTK is easy. Try and survive as long as possible against aggro with the help of Witch's Brew, and use the draw engines to find your combo pieces. When using gadgetzan or spirit of the frog, you don't always need to get full value from the spells that you use; for example, it's normal to use Totemic Might even if you don't have any totems to buff - the card is simply in the deck in order to help you cycle.
As always, if you have any suggestions/questions drop them down below.

Haunting Visions x 2 will help a lot with drawing and combo nice with the spirit frog.
This deck is very consistent at losing. It relies on cards to draw in very specific ways that just don't happen in reality. Basically any other deck will be better. This is disappointing because I enjoy a good combo deck but since Blizzard absolutely hates them there are currently none which are viable. All 45 turn control decks or aggro.
Seems like a list that could make use of a Muckmorpher
I don't understand this. If you are using Chef Nomi your deck is empty so what are you stalling for? There are literally no other combo pieces in your deck.
It would make a lot more sense if Hagatha was in the deck
im laughing my tits off m8
Played 5 games and won just 1 so far. Still, you have my upvote for creativity and really want to adapt to the deck's play style.
The thing is that the deck is too much reliant on RNG thus it's behaviour is super inconsistent:
I'm not saying it's weak but these are considerations that others should know before attempting to play or even craft it (I spent just 400 dust with no regrets!).
I love using this deck. When it works out it’s the funniest goddamn thing ever to see a confident full health player with a stacked board get killed in one turn.
Nomigoose shaman :)
Cool idea, I love wacky decks like this. However, it seems you're totally reliant on your Joybuzz pulling Maly and/or Alex. If you draw both before you are able to play Joybuzz, then you just lose, i guess? Worth playing around with but it doesn't seem reliable enough to ladder??
edit: either way, have an upvote for originality! Cheers!
fun idea doesn't work... I spend 2400 dust on this deck and each game is the same draw end turn till turn eight and then die because i either don't get draw mechanics or i draw all the combo pieces without being able to jepetto or far sight them
Can this deck beat control warrior?
Definitely! If you use Alexstrasza + Malygos you can easily out-burst their armour. You just need to draw as quickly as possible before they gain too much armour, which isn't a problem since you have so many ways of cycling within the deck.
Check out the video above, the 2nd match that Jeleniowatyy plays is against warrior, so check it out to see for yourself!

I'll have to check it out. I'm interested to see how it works. so is it more of a combo deck than a control deck I guess?
if combo decks start creeping back, it's time to bring Zihi out of retirement and start teching those new taunt dudes that play minions out. I never was that into dirty rat though based on how it can backfire, I think Zihi is way more reliable if you can read when they're gonna go for the OTK, just stall their mana out so they can't do it. I know it worked with decks in the past. I need to see how this works to be able to counter it.
Looks interesting, but I don't have any of those legendaries so won't be playing it. ha ha.
I absolutely love the deck! Being able to draw the entire thing that fast makes the games quite interesting! I had so much fun destroying mages and most importantly ROGUES that I made a video showcasing it in all of its glory, I really hope you all enjoy it :D
Greetings traveler! I like the idea to build a shaman deck around Chief Nomi & Malygos. I came up with idea to make my own small twist to the deck (aka deck doctor). It might be worse againt aggro decks but againts control draw engine should be even better. If you would like to see deck doctored deck here is the video. Cheers and may the good RNG be with you!
Hey! Thanks for taking a look at my deck. I really like the changes you've made, and i'll be sure to implement a few into my version.
Thanks again!

Why no Shudderwock? It can act as second Nomi.
