I Finally made a shaman deck i could hit legend with in this meta, which as all of you probably know already is not easy. I have tried all other types of shaman decks and found all to have too many holes to be reliable.
This deck is pretty well balanced and with good early draw can beat just about any deck (though i do find thief priest and rogue to be the toughest match up). Please try an let me know how it works for you guys thanks.

vs aggro hold any of these cards Sludge Slurper,Invocation of Frost,Hagatha's Scheme,Devoted Maniac and Serpentshrine Portal. Totemic Reflection is also a possible hold depending on if you have coin.
vs control (basically any Priest deck) hold Sludge Slurper, Totemic Reflection, EVIL Totem, Hagatha's Scheme, Marshspawn, Hex, The Fist of Ra-den, Plague of Murlocs, and Devoted Maniac
If you are having problems with wide boards you may want to consider replacing 1 Totemic Reflection for a Hagatha's Scheme. If any would like to give some input to what is better please do. I am still experimenting with it.
Do you consider updating the deck with schoolmanace cards
This deck is awesome, started play it very soon. Managed to get rank 1. Fall down on 5, so frustrating.Only thing missing is very late game. But a deck cant stay for every situation
I didn't have the second Dragon's Pack so I substituted in one Lightning Storm to help deal with early aggro. It's an alright deck but don't expect to climb at diamond level with it.
This deck is great and i have no problem against any class unless it is a priest or DH. I think that DH is the hardest match up. I keep loosing. From 6 games i have 1 win. Still it is a really fun deck to play with.
Sorry i don't see it. It's unpredictable in just about every match up, and the predictable match ups where you know it's going to be a value match up this deck falls flat. It doesn't produce enough value to run with the other control decks, doesn't really hold aggro at bay, doesn't really do anything well. If you climb with this you high rolled your way through. Deck is horribly inconsistent at D5+
I really wanted to play some Shammy over this weekend and I tried this deck. I love it! So much fun and I've been winning like crazy, so bonus!!
Sucks hard against aggro.
Hey, great deck! But can you give me advice on replacing the dragon's pack? I dont have the card and after the nerfs card looks a little bad. Or do you think should i craft it?
Thanks!
Hi, Dragon's Pack even after the nerf is still very good, and the synergy it has with The Fist of Ra-den can turn games around. So i would say craft them but if you can't another Earthquake or Hagatha's Scheme or both can help until you can craft them. Good luck.
Thanks!

This deck is pretty fun and can climb!
I replaced one Totemic Reflection for Bandersmosh.
Decent list, Plague of Murlocs is so good, you might want to run two of, since HS nowadays is all about spitting out big dudes mana efficiently, so at least Shaman has an equalizer.
I agree about Plague of Murlocs, it is a very underrated card. I think the problem with 2 of them is against certain decks like warlock and aggro druid, decks that generate wide boards. The cards become incredibly ineffective unless your holding some sort of aoe to combo with. But it's defineltly worth trying. I'll experiment with see how it turns out. Thanks for trying deck
Could you give me any replacement for The Fist of Ra-den?
HI, well there is no real good replacement for The Fist of Ra-den, the card generates some great tempo. The card is so important I almost recommend not using it till later in game to get some value out of it in case your opponent is holding a Acidic Swamp Ooze. So in answer to your question the cards that come to mind are a 2nd EVIL Totem or maybe a Swampqueen Hagatha. Good luck.
Thanks
Really nice deck. Surprisingly good vs DH (5-1). Started at bronze so WR is around 70% now. Switched The Lurker Below for Bandersmosh . Underrated card that saved my ass so many times.
What a nice surprise !
I've played 15 games with this deck, and its.. Surprisly strong against the meta ! Even when i loose, it was close, and i'm sure i do some mistake.
Realy stable, realy powerful, i just replace Lurker for another earthquake, and plague of murloc for far sight.
This deck have enough anti aggro, i just roll on aggro easily (never loose against aggro yet) and far sight make deck more stable against every match up. Double earthquake are realy broken against contrôle deck.
Just look hard against priest rez. (But still winable if we luck with hex)
This deck its like tempo/contrôle, can beat rogue, war, mage, and any aggro. Realy i love it. Strong, balanced and fun.
A realy good tier 2 imo
I like to think more like a tier 1.5 but at least it can compete on a more consistent level than most any other shaman decks. Thanks for the input.
