My version of Control Shaman, so far performing suprisingly well. Below some good/bad matchups and explanation for some card choices. More details might come.

Good matchups - Mech Hunter, Midrange Hunter, Token Druid, Zoolock, Thief Rogue, Nomi Priest, Spell Mage

Bad matchups - the worst one is Dragon/Hand Mage. Matchups like Tempo Rogue, Control Warrior or Spell Hunter are pretty even, dependant on the draw

 Card choices - included

Barista Lynchen  While it doesn't give you your Wock back, it still can give you valuable minions back to your hand and when you play it again, it adds to the Wock pool too (so we're looking at another Omega Defender and another Horror (obviously, dependant on the Wock order). It's also a 4/5 which you still can play in some matchups.

Frostwolf Warlord and Former Champ Good tempo plays that can also force opponent to use removal. They add nice value to the Wock.

Thunderhead with 6 overload cards - great tool against aggro that, unlike removal spells, lets you keep your board.

Cards excluded

Hagatha the Witch - controversial pick, but I find her too clunky, in this version I'd rather have control on board by the time I play her, so no point of damaging my minions.

Twilight Drake - too slow, without dragon synergy. The battlecry is not worth it imo, 6 health on Wock (+ possible gained from Warlord) is enough to force strong removal
