This deck is by far the best Shaman deck I've played since the expansion. High tempo and multiple win conditions.
Win conditions are
Double battlecry Galakrond, the Tempest, Swampqueen Hagatha, Kronx Dragonhoof and Desert Hare Boggspine Knuckles Combo and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
Mutate - Synergizes well with Corrupt Elementalist and many other cards.
Corrupt the Waters - self explanatory.
Sludge Slurper - Value Generation and quest completion
EVIL Cable Rat Value generation and quest completion + Mutate Synergy.
EVIL Totem - Value generation and Totemic Reflection synergy.
Explosive Evolution - Early game jump up such as Questing Explorer + this = 5 cost minion on turn 3. Also good for late game. Corrupt Elementalist + this - 9 drop.
Hench-Clan Hogsteed - Demon hunter and Paladin counter specifically but also slots in nicely to other plays.
Invocation of Frost - Warrior and Demon hunter counter.
Licensed Adventurer - Coin for double Dragonqueen Alexstrasza or to cancel out overloads.
Novice Engineer - Quest completion and card draw + synergize with Mutate or Explosive Evolution.
Questing Explorer - Quest completion and card draw.
Witch's Brew - Hunter and demon hunter counter. healing.
Zephrys the Great - Tempo, Finisher or board clear. You know what to do.
Desert Hare - Boggspine Knuckles combo turn 5 or 6, also a major distraction. People will pump resources into this if you play it.
Mana Tide Totem - card draw and Totemic Reflection synergy, turn 6 = "two 2-5s that draw a card each turn". VERY GOOD.
Marshspawn - Spell synergy, Quest synergy, Turn one quest, turn two The Coin Marshspawn.
Serpentshrine Portal - Tempo, DH Rouge and warrior and Paladin counter, burn to face.
Totemic Reflection - possible early game ramp. EVIL Totem orMana Tide Totem synergy.
Devoted Maniac - Quest completion, Galakrond Completion, Evolve synergy.
Hoard Pillager- Boggspine Knuckles or galakrond Synergy. NOTE: This is an interchangeable card depending on what your playing against. Horde pillager is great if you know your deck well, But a few recommendations would be, Imprisoned Vilefiend If your encountering lots of Demon hunter, Hex for priest. Druid is a hard one, If you can get your win conditions out before they throw ysera and all the other junk at you its fine. But usually its not the case, So probably a Earthquake.
Sky Gen'ral Kragg - Quest synergy. Very OP card.
Boggspine Knuckles - Win condition Synergy. Hoard Pillager Synergy. Double battlecry Corrupt Elementalist synergy. double battlecry Devoted Maniac Synergy. Desert Hare synergy.
Shield of Galakrond - Galakrond synergy.
Corrupt Elementalist - Galakrond synergy, Can complete full evokes with a double battlecry. Evolve synergy.
Kronx Dragonhoof - Galakrond synergy, quest synergy. Win condition if you've played galakrond before you've completed the quest. Double 8-8 dragons with taunt.
The Lurker Below - Demon hunter, paladin, warrior and rogue counter. Or just in general. Great card.
Galakrond, the Tempest - Win condition. Double battlecry is insane. Don't be afraid to pop him off even if you've only invoked twice against aggro decks. Use him to also complete the quest. Shaman has insane late game so it doesn't matter if you lose one win condition. Its a fine balance to get the most out of your win conditions. like Swampqueen Hagatha or Dragonqueen Alexstrasza. You generally want to play him last, after you've received maximum value our of your other win conditions.
Swampqueen Hagatha - Win condition. Dragons pack, eye of the storm with vivid spores. these are you best bets. You can also aim for burst damage. Multiple lava bursts or serpentine portals to face. Bloodlust if you can a wide board.
Walking Fountain - Healing and just an insane card in general.
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza - Win condition, Double battlecry with a coin for 4 free dragons. make sure your hands got enough space prior.
EDIT : The best opening play by far is Turn 1 Corrupt the Waters Turn 2 The Coin and Marshspawn and Turn 3 Explosive Evolution. That's a six drop on turn 3, or 7 drop if you have mutate aswell. The Beast on turn 3 anyone? haha
EDIT 01/07/2020
Playing around today and have swapped a card.
I still like Hoard Pillager, but I'm encountering an insane amount of demon hunters on ladder right now, so I want more rush early game if possible. He fits the bill. I really wish Shaman had a 3 mana rush card!
There is no deck with 90% winratio, only if you consider just maybe 4/5 games or imagine that 90%... for lying people Ill devote
Your right, there is no deck with 90% win ratio, as results may vary. The win rate in which I achieved diamond 10 with this deck is actually above 90% as I only lost 1 game the entire run, But I like whole and even numbers, also to offset any very lucky situations in which I won. But I started losing considerably more after diamond 10. So, it is possible, to a certain point.
Nice deck i love so much shaman. I’ll try it. The Lurker Below replacement? I don’t have. Thanks
There's nothing than can really match him, Its a really good card! But I guess Fire Elemental same stats, same damage dealt, but just doesn't continue on. But it can can go face. Or a Shattered Rumbler, Harder to pull off and not as high damage, but its sticky.
Why would you need to spend 14.7K dust? Either you have the cards or you don't. No one is saying dust your whole collection to play this.....
Thanks for good and fun deck.
You can't double battlecry Kronx because you lose that hero power.
Edit: Ofc I am dumb. I wasn't thinking on that line lol
If you complete the quest after you turn into Galakrond, then you will be Galakrond with the double battlecry hero power.
You will more often than you realize, play Galakrond for completing quest, which makes the hero power gained from playing Galakrond, turn into double battlecry.
Yep thats right, has happened many times!
If you can get two 8/8s out before completing the quest, or on the 6/6th battlecry, that is optimal, because Kronx Dragonhoof is far more versatile. You could play a set of 8/8s turn 7 and again on turn 8. Opposed to all four 8/8s on turn 9. Good if you know your opponent has board clears. This is depending on which hero your playing of course.
Thanks for sharing this fun deck, will test more in casual, haven't lost any encounters yet. A few concerns and thoughts:
Hench-Clan Hogsteed, why not Bug Collector? for the battlecry and evolve synergy.
Hoard Pillager seems greedy, I can see the insane value, but more often than not, the battle cry will not happen and it will be played for evolve reasons instead.
Hench-Clan Hogsteed because its a direct counter to many Demon hunter cards. Its the most low cost, high damage rush card Shaman has access too that early in the game. I don't want to add any more battlecry cards because then the Licensed Adventurer and Questing Explorer seem to be made redundant a lot more from my experience, though its probably down to luck, it just seems to work better this way.
Hoard Pillager does seem very greedy, and it is very greedy, I like that element of High risk return, Shaman needs a bit of possible luck on its side. Although Its probably the only card I would swap something with. A Cobalt Spellkin or a Faceless Corruptor, I would like to keep it 4 mana or lower though. I wont be able to test for another few days, but I will be playing around with that slot in the future.
Thanks for the reply
I've played 10 games in ranked and haven't encountered a single DH. I consider myself lucky.
this deck got me from diamond 10 to 4, fun one. Priests are the hardest to beat.
If play priest I aim for the Long game, and try to get maximum value out of everything. Try and build plays using the lackeys to get rid of their Soul Mirror and Plague of Death cards. Use Explosive Evolution on Devoted Maniac [/card] and [card]corrupt elementalist to get big drops and get them to use their shadow words. Play it slow and try match everything in the deck up perfectly, The more time you have the more powerful the deck becomes because you can use all your synergies. Dont use the manatide totem until the priest has drawn aswell, because you don't want to fatigue before him.
its a long game against priest!
Lol 90% is this some kind of a joke?! :D Even Chuck Norris can't get 90% WR with this deck (or any HS deck at this time as a matter of fact).
I was pretty amazed with the performance of this deck to be honest. Perhaps i got lucky on my way up. But I have to say, as soon as I hit diamond 10, the win rate dropped considerably and climbing did become a massive grind. Results may vary ;) Lol.
awesome , will try this on reset .. dont have swampqueen though
Swampqueen is one of your main win conditions and a main piece of the deck. She had great value and can win games single handedly. Its hard to find win conditions for Shaman. You'll have to go full on RNG and opt for a Brightwing or something and hope for the best. But I assume the deck wont perform as well because I've won a stupid amount of games using the swamp queen. Maybe a Siamat? Unsure.
i can play this deck. but i dont know how i get %90 winrate......
