Hello friends, 3e Anura here with my favorite list of odd shaman to date. I started trying to make the deck competitive back in May, and after many revisions and nearly 500 games, have come to a point where I can truly claim the deck is not a meme. I got a top 100 finish on NA and EU for August and broke into the top 10 for September.
You can follow me on twitter for new decklists and to see when I'm going live on twitch!
Mulligan: Always keep Tunnel Trogg, Surging Tempest, and Tour Guide. If you don't have one, throw everything back except Sludge Slurper on the play and Arcane Watcher or Speaker Gidra on the coin. With a 1-drop keep Storm's Wrath, and when on the coin with a Tour Guide keep Flametongue Totem and Totemic Reflection.
The goal is to get onto the board early and hold it until you can set up lethal with burn spells. The deck has very little card draw, but maximizing the value of your totems gives the deck a lot more reach than the mana curve suggests.
Proof and stats:
September stats
Budget substitutions: This deck still functions very well without the legendaries (other than Baku) that I have included. I replaced them with two Marshspawns and a single Mana Tide Totem for my F2P climb on Europe which got me a top 100 finish.
If you want to craft the legendaries, I would go in order of Speaker Gidra first, Instructor Fireheart second, and Electra Stormsurge third.
Thank you ur deck help me first time reach legend. Please keep update it when new Update. Big Thank.
Can you guide me how to use Speaker Gidra, atm my deck only have Instructor Fireheart, I replace Speaker Gidra & Electra Stormsurge with Mana Tide Totemx2.
Thanks.
Very good results, even considering I don't have Instructor Fireheart. I did not expected such results in an aggro creature/spell deck. I found it's a good idea to include bloodlust, considering you always have 3-4 minions on board. It runs fine.
Thanks for this deck! Hit legend with it with minimal effort. Fast games with constant pressure.
Hey everyone!
I went and tried this deck and I at the start I was very surprised that we are running Arcane Watcher since I kinda expected that it is the deck that gets the hero power to 1.. yea I know pretty stupid :D I did not craft them though since I was missing them I just replaced them and it worked fine without it as well. I have to admit that the last class I would expect benefiting from Baku is going to be shaman but it is quite strong! Definitely something refreshing to play.
Hope you can enjoy the gameplay video :)
I dont have Instructor Fireheart (or Lady Vashj for that matter). Are they core? I could craft one or both of them if needed, but i am always afraid of crafting a card that has use in only 1 deck. Is running Ras Frostwhisper a good alternative or is the 5 mana cost too high? Thanks in advance for any answers!
They definitely are not needed. Fireheart and/or Vashj are there to give the deck a bit more reload, and if you don't have either Mana Tide Totem can fill that role.
As far as attempting to keep to an on-curve play doesn't that go out the window with any card that is not on curve? Like for instance if I draw Dragonqueen Alexstrasza in my opening hand while playing highlander hunter...that's certainly not on-curve, but the card still belongs in the deck. I'm not making an argument to include the card...I'm just pointing out that other cards aren't on-curve, but still get included so that still leaves me questioning why to not include it. I obviously wouldn't be able to play it on turn three, but on turn 6 it would be an amazing combo to play Electra Stormsurge followed by Lava Burst. No?
I was just using that argument to show why I prefer playing Flametongue instead. I think Electra is great in the deck, but I still think Flametongue or Marshspawn (the cards I would be most likely to cut) are better.
Playing HS since beta, always too lazy for the grind. With this deck i hit legend first time ever, felt rly flawless and easy going. Thanks man. I still played it wih the earth shocks. took out one manatide for lady vash. Great Job :-)
I have both Instructor Fireheart and Electra Stormsurge. Thoughts of running both of them?
If you want to run Electra, I would probably replace a Flametongue Totem with her. She is another nice source of reach, I just don't run her since she doesn't work well as an on-curve play.
As promised here is 3 games from the stream. Thanks again for the fun deck man! It slays this meta! Hope you enjoy.

Great Job Man!!!! This deck is so much fun! I love the idea behind all the overload and Baku the Mooneater. I replaced one of the Arcane Watcher with Lady Vashj. This deck is so viable in the current meta and I am so happy Shaman got some love again!
I will be playing this deck live on my Twitch Stream tonight at 10pm mountain time! Join me to watch my ladder climb to Legend!! I will post the highlights of the stream on here as well and I will give you a shout out kght7 for coming up with such an amazing idea for a deck! Hopefully it will help your views on the deck here to help support making more incredibly viable decks!
cool deck
This deck is pretty good. It takes a little skill but its nice that Shaman has a Tier 1 deck for once.
Great deck, made it from gold 10 to diamond 2 (so far) with it. Didn't have Fireheart tho so i swapped her with lady vashj. Eventually crafted her and replaced an arcane watcher with her. Will 90% of the time out-run any other face/tempo decks. Mostly have problems with priests, But i probably had 80% winrate up untill diamond 8. Ran into some trouble there but then went straight to diamond 2 with maybe 1 or 2 losses. Great job!
Edit: currently ranked 1647 with this deck.
Thanks for the kind words, and congrats on Legend!
You think Molten Blast is any good here?
It is indeed! Sorry for not getting back sooner, I wanted to test it out more and was definitely not disappointed.
