Anti-aggro Reno Shudder Shaman - Ashes of Outland Edition

Hi all,

Having recently seen a Reno list on a reputable website that gets absolutely steamrolled by aggro, I decided to update my favourite Wild deck!

Almost every card choice is designed to prevent you completely losing control of the board, as tends to happen with decks like this. The rest are there to make it as easy as possible to create the infinite Shudderwock combo.

Before you drop Shudderwock you will have turns in which you:

• Steal two minions
• Steal two secrets
• Generate two 4/2 parrots with rush
• Draw two battlecry minions that can be played on the same turn
• Make battlecries cost 10 more
• Make spells cost 10 more
• Summon five 2/2s for five mana

...thanks to the quest hero power.

The 24-battlecry Shudderwock will:

• Freeze two enemies
• Deal 4 damage spread across random enemies
• Give all enemies -2 attack during your turn
• Deal 1 damage to all enemy minions
• Generate a 'perfect card'
• Destroy your opponent's weapon and gain armour equal to its attack
• Steal an enemy minion (if there are four on the board)
• Copy one of your minions to your hand
• Steal an enemy secret
• Deal 3 damage to the enemy hero and restore 3 to yours
• Summon a 4/2 Parrot with Rush
• Draw the lowest cost minion from your deck
• Add all battlecry minions on board to your hand
• Make enemy battlecry minions cost 5 more
• Make 2 copies of itself
• Turn another minion into a copy of itself
• Make enemy spells cost 5 more
• Deal 3 damage to an enemy minion and one of its neighbours if it dies
• Restore your hero to full health
• Add 2 random zero-cost dragons to your hand

...which is pretty cool!

This deck will hold its own surprisingly well once the quest comes online, as nearly every one of the battlecries increases in value massively when it is doubled. It will also infuriate the opponent when you steal their resources and make their cards unplayable!

Edit: writeup is slightly outdated due to ongoing deck changes.
