Update 15/09
Hey, thanks for following my decks. Unfortunately this one stopped working for me after like 60 games. Atm I am barely above 50% WR, drawing complete ass. Not sure why, maybe I climbed too many ranks at once :( I was testing different builds but as soon as I make the deck more controlish - i face priests, and after adding bloodlust i face only hunters and rogues :) So taking a short break to not get tilted by this riggness.
Despite that I'm adding a short guide for ppl that still want to play it:
-Hagatha's Scheme is like a reset button, play it wisely, only to remove boards you couldn't deal with otherwise.
-Instructor Fireheart can be used as a finisher, when they leave 3-4 of your minions on board with 10 mana, play it and fish for cheap 1 mana cards to buff and deal dmg, you can easily burst ppl for 20+ dmg(when you have minions on board).
-Totemic Surge from Marshspawn with Runic Carvings can clear big boards later into the game.
-you need to know a bit of the most popular meta builds to know what cards to pick to work around your oponent plays.
-t1 Lightning Bloom Mana Tide Totem work well vs classes that can't remove it easily (warrior, druid, mage)
-keep combo cards that work well together i.e. Diligent Notetaker Serpentshrine Portal vs aggro matchups.
Mulligan is usually never the same for me coz i try to keep combo cards and build a gameplan based on them. For example i can look for Hagatha's Scheme vs druids but i can also on coin use Mana Tide Totem into Totemic Reflection or even Speaker Gidra and buff her with Totemic Reflection which gives you 6/9 with WF on t3. But in general best keeps are:
Control DH - try to snowball with Lightning Bloom Mana Tide Totem Totemic Reflection or Totem Goliath Totemic Reflection
Druid - depending on hand you can snowball with Lightning Bloom Mana Tide Totem Totemic Reflection or Totem Goliath Totemic Reflection or keep Hagatha's Scheme, sometimes i keep Devolving Missiles
Hunter - control MU, keep Hagatha's Scheme Groundskeeper Witch's Brew, Serpentshrine Portal also Diligent Notetaker + Torrent (on coin) or Devolving Missiles
Mage - always keep Hagatha's Scheme for Mana Giant but also try to play tempo with Totemic Reflection
Paladin- mulligan hard for Hagatha's Scheme and Devolving Missiles
Priest - you have to snowball with Mana Tide Totem Totemic Reflection or Totem Goliath Totemic Reflection.
Rogue - keep Hagatha's Scheme, Devolving Missiles with Diligent Notetaker for edwin/questing, rather control MU untill you get them out of cards, try not to proc their Dirty Tricks if you don't have to. That said i also won few games by going wide with Lightning Bloom Runic Carvings followed by Totemic Reflection Splitting Axe and some some buffs from Marshspawn or Instructor Fireheart
Warlock - keep Hagatha's Scheme, Diligent Notetaker with Torrent, rather control MU.
Warrior - you have to snowball with Mana Tide Totem Totemic Reflection or Totem Goliath Totemic Reflection. and hope for Instructor Fireheart to finish them off.
I also added 2d Splitting Axe back to the list. It's too good to not have 2 of them.
Update 11/09
Took out one Splitting Axe for Speaker Gidra. Overall I'm happy with the deck and it performs well. You also get the suprise factor. Only bad MU is druid, mage is 50/50, others are favorable.
That said it is very hard to play and I'm learning new tricks with every game. If there will be intrest I might write a short guide.
GL and HF!

Hey guys,
Played something different last two days. This deck absolutely gigastomps everything but druid and hunter. I have 100% WR vs control DH and Warrior which are swarming legend ladder lately. Deck is quite hard to play, I am still learning it myself but it feels really good.
The idea behind the deck is again - copying Mana Tide Totem wins you every game, so now we build a deck around this card and add the totem package. But this time we cut 0 mana cards as these are basicly useless unless you have few totems on board and guess what - Totem Shaman sucks at having a sticky board this expansion.
Far Sight has been insane in this deck, getting a 0 mana Totemic Reflection into t4 coin Totem Goliath gives us 2x7/7 on board at t4. But this is only an example. Your imagination is the limit to what you will combo with Diligent Notetaker in this deck. Value is basicly infinite.
Strongly advise you to try this one, it's so much fun! LMK if you have any questions.
Played around 2k Legend EU.
P.S. How to win with this deck? Well there are kinda 2 ways to play it. Depending on your hand and matchup you either sneak a copy of Mana Tide Totem or Totem Goliath and snowball from there, or control the board with Diligent Notetaker and Devolving Missiles, Torrent and make huge board swings with spells and minions discounted with Far Sight.
One copy of Witch's Brew is here to heal yourself out of range of finishers vs mage/rogue/hunter. Just jam it when they run out of cards and you are safely out of reach with full hand usually.
Appreciate the kind words mate!
Nice deck homie, gonna try it soon. Ignore those who say it doesn't works, they probably don't know how to do mulligan against each class.
nerf mage!
please write a guide :)
Hey, added a short guide, hope it helps. If you have any specific questions, lmk.
Doesn't work for me too.
Maybe, i don't understand the deck, but in almsot all situation my opponent have answer for all my movement
Yeah, i understand that 10 games is too few, but still
Tried and destroyed by paladins. Sorry no
Facing paladins mulligan hard for Hagatha's Scheme and Devolving Missiles. I'm 5-1 vs them. Rather easy MU. GL!
Oh really? Damn I was doing mulligan for runic carving and totem goliath... Thanks for the heads up......
Dont understand how people can loose to paladins having 2 devolving missiles, 2 marshspawn, 2 torrents and instructor fireheart.
It's simple, if pally just plays on curve. Fireheart only works in lategame when you have 7+ manacrystalls and you just cannot have all control spells in opening hand. And pally plays 3 mana 4/2, 4 mana 4/2 and so on and just smashes your face every turn.
It's not free 100% win matchup, it's fifty-fifty.
Because as soon as they get Lady Liadrin out, guess what? They get all those cheap buffs back and make monsters out of small minions while you have run out of all your purges and even if you kill them they keep coming back. That is how. If that does'nt happen to you it means you've been playing versus total noobs.
I lost with my anti-aggro shaman deck because enemy rogue had godlike opening and i drew ALL my expensive cards. So yea, its possible to win unfavorable match up
From your post history I see you like to complain a lot. I know paladins can be oppressive at D5 (probably more like P5) where you are hardstuck with your gazillion games but hey, maybe focus a bit on your own mistakes and try to improve so you can finally get that legend and free yourself. Gl buddy ;)
LOL you think you are talking to someone who doesn't know the game. I am a shaman only player. I've climbed to D10 with big shaman in few days. I repeat with big shaman which is tier 10 maybe. Then to D5 with quest shaman. It is true I am stuck at D5 now. Go to tempostorm and you will see that totem shaman is ranked tier4 and there are no other more viable decks. Every day someone comes up with a fancy non high tier deck and claims that they reached legend with it. In most cases they will be the only ones who manage. It is a combination of things including a lot of luck and a lot of time spent farming matches, some knowledge of the game and then probability will do the rest of the job. These isolated players that succeed by chance are however irrelevant. They are not statistical significant and the fact that they got to legend does not make their deck worth legend at all. The fact that you spek of 65% win rate is already an indication that you don't know what you are talking about. Not even tier 1 deck have a real win rate close to 60%. The moment they do they are immediately nerfed. So what are we talking about here?
