Here It Is:

Im gonna keep it short and sweet, you can and WILL hit legend with this deck. I rarely play this game, but I hit Rank 7 in less than two days and I was watching the Office most of the time. I'm generally a good deck-builder when it comes to Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, so I tried building an overload Shaman deck and it went very well.

This deck is super aggressive, you don't want to waste damage on your opponent's minions unless you HAVE to, or unless you feel you should. Otherwise, face is the place. This deck is place to what I believe are the most underrated cards of the newest expansion (Cumulo-Maximus and Squallhunter). That said, here is my mulligan guide and statistics with the deck, enjoy!

Mulligan Guide:

Against Priest:

This match-up is AWFUL, so if you're not gonna concede, here's what you should mulligan for: Surging Tempest, Likkim, Earthen Might, Lightning Bolt. This match-up is awful for obvious reasons, but I'll explain why regardless. If you're going against resurrect Priest (which 99% of the time you will), then he perfectly counters your win condition, which is dealing damage through powerful minions and spells. The minions you have are obsolete against an infinite supply of Khartut Defender and Convincing Infiltrator. And because Priest is Priest, your spells become obsolete due to all the healing he has. Yes, this match-up is winnable, but only if you out-tempo him, and he doesn't have the proper late-game cards to react, which is rare to be honest. 

 

Against Paladin:

This match-up depends on how lucky he gets. Paladin doesn't run much healing, especially if it's a highlander deck, but if he gets the healing he needs to turn things around, then just hope you can answer with lots of burst. Mulligan for burst-potential cards such as Lightning Bolt, Lava Burst, Unbound Elemental, Squallhunter, and Cumulo-Maximus. It might seem odd to mulligan for mid-game cards, but you need those cards in this match-up. The early-game cards will come later and they will still be efficient.

 

Against Warrior, Hunter, Shaman, Warlock:

You have to out-tempo them (which means getting the right cards) and kill them before they snowball too hard. Mulligan for Surging Tempest, Likkim, Sludge Slurper, Squallhunter, Lava Burst, Sandstorm Elemental, Lightning Bolt. I've added a second Sandstorm Elemental because these are quite frankly the most popular classes on ladder and it's a very good card against them. You have to keep your opponent at bay in these match-ups, otherwise they can snowball or burst you down before you blink.

 

 Against Mage, Druid, Rogue:

Your opponent has no healing, which is VERY important. This means you can take your time dealing damage, which is also important because you will need to deal with their boards (Treant Druid, Tempo Rogue, Elemental Mage). Effectively, if you out-tempo them, you straight up win the game. Because they can't recover from any damage you deal to them, so the only way they beat you is by controlling the board constantly, and even then, you can burst them down with just your spells. These are your dream match-ups.

 

 

Win Percentage:

I have an overall 68% winrate with this deck, you can view the screenshot of all the stats here. I don't know why it says Mage is my worst match up but I can promise you it is 100% Priest.

Video Tutorial:

As promised, if this got to the front page of HearthPwn, I would make a video talking about the deck and explaining why it's so OP in my opinion. So here it is, enjoy!

All In All:

This deck is a better face deck than Hunter. This deck is a better tempo deck than Rogue. And it's a better Shaman deck than Galakron Shaman (if you play Galakrond Shaman go grab the nearest gallon of bleach and drink it kthx). I really believe in this deck on top of the fact that I have the stats to back it up, so I recommend everyone to play this deck and I hope you reach legend very soon!
