Hey guys, i climbed to legend this season with this deck. Somehow it feels very strong in the current meta. The dragon pack is good because it gives you some offensive power against the slower decks like pogo rogue.
Deck is hard to play, but very fun and rewarding. You have a ton of options and finding the most efficiënt one is very hard, especially lategame with Hagatha. Finding the right mix between being greedy and just using your clears is always tricky.
Strong cards and synergy's in this deck are:
Hex/Earth shock is very strong in a mech heavy meta.
The dragon pack with firetree means you have a lot more big bodies on board to contest.
Strong hard clears with Zentimo + Hex / Crowd Roaster / 2x hagatha scheme / Big game Hunter.
Shudderwock is amazing in this deck and can be used as clear, it casts Crowd Roaster's battlecry, big game hunter, gains +1 attack and rush, and the twillight drake. usually it turns into a 8/20 with rush.
Longest breath of all decks, especially with shudder and elysiana combo and Ysera.
The motto of this deck is, just dont die and win.
Mulligan
Firetree Witchdoctor is always a keep, try to find the dragon synergy with Twilight Drake or Dragonmaw Scorcher
Acolyte of Pain is also a keep. Another body on the board in turn 3 and usually nets you a double draw.
Hagatha's Scheme Is keep except when you play versus Warrior
Lightning Storm Is a keep versus Druid/Hunter/Warlock
Earth Shock keep versus Hunter/Paladin/Shaman/Warlock and Rogue if they have the coin.
Hagatha the Witch Keep versus warrior!
Try to mulligan for these cards in these match-ups. Other solid keeps are Scaleworm Twilight Drake
Match-ups
Working on it
After more play i have had better success. The ability to win any matchup and it not be an instant lose is a huge plus when compared to other Control Shaman lists. Archivist is a bad draw and this is the only downside or possible swap I may make. Great deck the more i play with it. Was at 35% win rate but now at 60% after practice.
Good to hear man. These decks are hard to play because there aren't 2 or 3 plays to make but sometimes 7 or 8, especially in the late game. Finding the right one takes time and experience.
Archivist Elysiana is a dead card , most games end before im out of cards, i switch for swampqueen hagatha but still no satisfying results , most games vs hunters rank 5
I agree, elysiana is a dead card. Unless you face control warrior and then it's the only card that can help you win. If you dont face a lot of warriors, you might want to swap her for a swampqueen or i can see nomi work aswell if you ever make it to fatigue.
What hunters are you struggling with? Bomb hunter, midrange or deathrattle?
I think bomb and deathrattle hunter is a good match-up with this deck. But there aren't any easy wins with this deck aswell, but you should be favorite over bomb/deathrattle.
nomi and Archivist Elysiana r not a good idea right now caz the meta is aggro right now and there is no way a game stall till ur out of cards to use the value of those cards, there is no way to survive, im pretty sure im not doing anything wrong this deck looses before turn 8 most of times (from rank 5) since 70% of decks r mech hunter, mech paly , cyclone mage, beast (midrange) hunter eats this deck for breakfast .. it even lost from a res priest and i beat him with wizbang for god's sake !
fantastic deck my dude! i'm glad you posted it, i really enjoyed it!
Nice matches! You can see this deck can give you so much answers against aggro decks if the draw is decent, but the answers are not only in the form of removal, you have create some board presence that the opponent is going to have to deal with too. And as we saw token druid does not have a lot of tools to come back from a bad position. Shame you never got to go into shudderwock and elysiana. Most decks don't have the stamina to go all the way.
To be fair, elysiana is only in the deck to beat control warrior, so if you're not facing him you might aswell put in a swampqueen hagatha or nomi. Those cards get replayed by shudderwock aswell.
I think this video is a good presentation of answers that this deck has and the board presence it can build. Thanks for the video, i'll make sure to embed it in my description!
kiwiinbacon video in 3... 2... 1... lol
its right after ur comment xD
By The Night! I knew it! lol
I'm not sure.. Got 4-4 now. Maybe i am doing something wrong, but all the loses were because i had 0 moves at start. I just replaced 1 far sight for haunting visions. I miss omega mind card here for extra heal with scheme for the late game. For me it's really hard at the beginning for survive, but if you survive you win. I think i will also replace acolyte with something. What do you think?
PS.
I have 5 shaman decks and this one have the best shudderowock effect. I wish I could play my decklist vs this shaman :)
Haunting visions over far sight is a personal choice, don't see any downside to playing that card, situationally could be a lot better.
I don't like omega mind too much here, if you make it to turn 8 you have a big chance to be fine. Walking fountain/zilliax/Witch's brew should be enough healing from that point on.
Because of the dragon's synergy this deck has no spirit of the frog draw mechanic. Thats where the acolyte's come in to play. If you remove those and a far sight i think you can draw dead pretty fast.
The way i see it it's either the spirit of the frog pack with a lot of spells for cycle. Or the dragon pack with acolyte.
if a player has access to all the cards and can't reach legend. you should quit playing.
Not sure if trolling, this deck is by no means easy to play or tier 1. It's possible to climb legend with it, i used this deck when the new mech buffs went live. There was a lot of mech pala/hunter and other greedy decks.
This deck is a lot harder to pilot then most other decks, and by far a easy road to legend.
Guys, any replacement of Zentimo ? Thanks for advice !
Zentimo is so important in this deck, it can win u matches on its own against the right setup. Zentimo Hex/earth shock combo is devastating against mages/hunters/paladin or even token druid.
Ofcourse you could play without him, i'd suggest Thalnos maybe if you have it, or another card like krag'wa big game hunter, swampqueen hagatha.
But i think in most cases, the card you will choose to replace zentimo with in this deck will give you a lower WR.
This deck deserves a love button, so good to hear that you reach Legend with this deck. Congrats! <3
Thanks man, much appreciated! Seeing as this deck is getting a bit of love i'll get to writing a mulligan guide and a match-up section!
I wonder which deck makes u struggle the most.
Great deck, works good vs mech hunters and paladins.
