I was sceptical, but it can work. This deck pulls off crazy stuff with a strange frequency. I don't have Emperor Thaurissan so I replaced him with Krag'wa who's managed to win me a game already but will deff switch this when possible. The decks all about that mana cheating woop. 

Had a question though - Have you found any extra use for eureka aside from for a maly finisher when you don't manage a cost reduction? Just as I feel most cards should be multi purpose - e.g. shudderwock - and one card (eureka) being in as a failsafe for a singular other card (maly) in a singular non-common situation ( no reductions) isnt worth it over a tech choice. Thoughts?

Thanks for the compliments!

I use Eureka! almost as soon as I can if I have no other play. I don't care what it pulls out because its all board presence. Especially turn 6 Eureka! Grumble out and then turn 7 picking Grumble back up so you have a 1 cost Grumble for later to cheat any mana you want.

Been playing around with this deck and just no luck honestly. Yeah, sometimes it works out but I've never even gotten to the point where I can use shudderwock, you lose on turn 6 to aggro and mage because you have no pressure until turn 8, and you can just draw bad and lose. Seemed fun, regret crafting. 

I don't know how you are not getting past aggro. Are you using your board presence properly? Are you using your spells properly? I have moved on to build other decks but just today I played this deck for fun against a secret mage and a discard lock and beat them both. Will you have a loss here and there? Absolutely but thats why its not a 100% winrate. Maybe you just got unlucky with cards?

It is very complicated to pilot correctly but once you get it down its really fun because you start comboing turn after turn. The part of the deck you have to realize is Shudderwock is not a finisher unless you get that dream combo but it rarely happens. I use him to draw minions like Reno Jackson and Vashj Prime because ofJeppeto Joybuzz earlier in the game. Usually 2 battlecrys of Shudderwock leaves you knowing which cards are left in the deck. On the same note I play Shudderwock as Vashj Prime if she's already been played to draw spells. I don't hold him till the end like most Shudderwock decks. If I get one of Vashj Prime or Jepetto Joybuzz or Reno Jackson or Grumble, Worldshaker  out of of him it usually sets the game up for the win. If you have him ready to use battlecrys for spells and minions for cheap that's usually a win as well. Ill give you an example of how some turns look that feel really good.

Turn 9 - (8mana)Jepetto Joybuzz Pulls Grumble, Worldshaker for 1. Play (1mana)Grumble, Worldshaker to pick up Jepetto Joybuzz and he now costs 1.

Turn 10 (1mana)Jepetto Joybuzz Pulls Shudderwock and Vashj Prime and they cost 1. PlayShudderwock and now you most probably have every minion left in the deck pulled for 1 because he will play Jepetto Joybuzz's battlecry twice pulling 4 minions for 1. Play a few of them and then play Vashj Prime. You should have some free damage spells and Malygos in your hand that allows for a quick burst to finish them off on turn 11.

I always try to hold my face damage spells (Lightning Bolt Frost Shock) that cost 1 throughout the game for Malygos at the end. I will dispose of all others if I need to keep my face alive. Thats 14 damage with Malygos if you have either of them for 0 which isn't hard to do in this deck. That way I have an answer to do some damage on a turn after I've hurt him a bunch. Usually ill grab 1 other face damage spell(Lava Shock Lava Burst) from Vashj Prime and that ends the game usually.

Play your minions like a tempo deck. Always trade up or go face if you out value their board. If you keep pressure on them you will finish them easily with 2 spells and Malygos

I'll post some screenshots from games below and explain how I got there.

So in this match up against a quest mage I put massive pressure on him early game with the The Fist of Ra-den and I held onto Lava Shock that was pulled by a Electra Stormsurge Far Sight from the beginning of the game. Frizz Kindleroost made Malygos cost 7 and then Emperor Thaurissan brought him down to 6. Vashj Prime was played the turn before for 1 to pull Lava Burst and Lightning Bolt. As you can see the win from this hand is straight forward and simple. Malygos > Lava Burst > Lightning Bolt > Lava Shock to the face for 24 damage and then hit him with your 5/5 Emperor Thaurissan and he's dead.

in this matchup I used Emperor Thaurissan to make Malygos and Electra Stormsurge cost 1 less. I had pulled the cards Lava Burst and Lava Shock from Vashj Prime. Emperor Thaurissan and Vashj Prime are on the board. No one laves a 5/5 and a 5/6 on the board so they took the damage as planned. Then as you can see its an easy win from this point. Malygos > Electra Stormsurge> Lava Burst (twice because of Electra Stormsurge > Lava Shock for a total of 27 damage which wins the game.

Every deck has a learning curve but this one has a big one. Im 16-4 since I put Frizz Kindleroost in the deck and once you realize you don't really have to hold on to anything except the 2 1cost spells and Malygos it becomes easy to chip their life away until you are ready to finish it. 

Don't forget you have 4 full heals in this deck if used properly. Possibly more with Grumble, Worldshaker.

Reno Jackson

Shudderwock

Electra Stormsurge > Healing Rain close enough to a full heal because when will you ever be under 6 life.

Omega Mind > Earthquake or Hagatha's Scheme

Be sure to know when you'll need to keep these cards to make sure you can survive until you have lethal. I hope this helps you understand how to pilot it a little better but once you practice with it you will see its potential is unlimited. Have fun and thanks again for the upvote!

Ok honestly my first comment was rude because I'm dumb. I don't play much wild so I just had to adjust but now I'm having great success with this deck and it is EXTREMELY fun. I appreciate your taking your time to write a really detailed response that was kind to a comment I left that was not. Thank you. 

Any thoughts on fitting Loatheb in? 

I had him in there at one point but he was just too slow. You could put him in place of Eureka! but I feel like that card is so valuable sometimes to create some amazing plays.

Hey guys,

I tried out this deck and made a showcase of it! If you are interested in a gameplay video with commentary you can check it out bellow. I had a really long one against reno mage and it really got me how complex it got. Managed to do some stupid plays and tunnel visioning some weird scenarios where I can die. Timestamps are in the video if you just want to check out particular matchup :)

I hope you can enjoy the video 

Thank you so much for the video! I am playing in mobile or I would have done one myself. Thanks for the upvote as well! Any ideas on how to make it stronger?

I really love the deck concept, and I had a blast playing it, but how do you win against quest mages? If I don't get enough pressure early with Fist, i'm always dead before turn 10. 

Thanks for the compliments on the deck! I don't usually struggle with Quest Mages. I do use my minions as bait early game for them to use spells and minions to destroy them. Grumble, Worldshaker is a 7/7 for 6 mana and everyone attacks him because that a big threat. I use him even if I don't have a minion to pick up. I can use Shudderwock later to use his battlecry if I need to pick up Vashj Prime or Jepetto Joybuzz for additional draw of minions and while doing that Shudderwock will play their battlecrys as well obviously if they are on the board. I love dropping Lady Vashj on turn 3 and ill even play Frizz Kindleroost as a bait minion on the board even if I am holding both dragons. Also Shattered Rumbler is a great 5/6 even if his battlecry is not procced. It is nice when these battlycrys go off but don't forget the board presence they make. I have even thrown Reno Jackson down when I am at full life just to get a 4/6 on the board for them to contend with. I have played both Quest Mage decks for over 150 games each and I know from experience that getting Archmage Vargoth and the Time Warp on turn 9 is not a common thing to happen. When it does its just like pulling Malygos and all 3 damage spells for cheap before turn 9 on this deck. If you give them enough pressure early game and keep your health at 30 or above 24 because thats what the 3 giants can do to you with a time warp if they have all 3 you usually can force a giant or 2 out early just so they can save their face. If you kill 2 of their giants and maintain full life they cant beat you even with Archmage Vargoth. I am 10-1 against quest mages but I also built the deck so I know exactly why I put everu single card in it. I hope this helps you with your games and thanks again for the kind words about the deck!

This deck seems both a great deal of fun while being really powerful as well. Unfortunately enough, I am so far really unable to pilot this properly. Admittedly, Shaman is my least played class (and I would love to get more into it) - but I simply do not seem to manage to properly blast with this deck.

I've read your guide extensively including mulligan suggestions and all potential combo's, but any tips and tricks would still be very welcome. I've played 6 games now and lost all of them. I think my main issue is here is that I am perhaps looking to eagerly for specific synergies and keep lacking the right hand to pull of those synergies, meaning that I am stuck with pretty much dead cards in my hands. Also, it could very well that i should play more aggressively than I do with the spell package in this deck. 

Any ideas, tips, suggestions - more than welcome (: (though already a big thank you to the OP for writing such an extensive elaboration on the deck). 

It is very complicated to pilot correctly but once you get it down its really fun because you start comboing turn after turn.

Man, you really deserve all the credit that you get. Thank you so so much for the extensive reply to my questions, including not only more theoretical suggestions but also showcasing examples of how you pilot the deck in different situations.

I took your suggestions to the heart and funny enough it immediately paid off. Won a few games in a row now and actually start to grasp all the potential that lies within this deck. 

You're the absolute MVP, thank you once again and keep up the awesome work! 

I am glad you are having as much fun as I am playing a deck that breaks the meta! Thank you so much for your kind words!

The only card I do not have is Electra. Do you believe this is essential/core card in this deck or can be replaced with other card?

Electra has won me many games and is in my opinion a core card in the deck because of the synergy with all the spells. If I had to replace her I’d probably use a Hoard Pillager to get The Fist of Ra-den back because it helps having those random Legendaries to protect your face and chip down the opponent. You can also play her as a 4/2 for 4 as an early game minion for board presence and Shudderwock will do it again later to equip the The Fist of Ra-den again without having to spend 4 mana on it.

Cool deck. Has so many ways to win. Very refreshing change of pace. Thank you!!!

Thank you for the compliments on the deck! It does feel like you always have an answer for everything. I’m 14-2 with it since I added Frizz in legend rank. He was the key component. I’m loving it! Lost to a Velen OTK and a Deathrattle hunter who had a perfect starting hand and killed me by turn 5.

Just beat my murloc  paladin, sick deck

Thanks for the upvote! That was a good game! Murloc Paly is a great deck but with the board clears and random minions summoning combined with mass healing this deck has it usually runs out of steam.
