Hello Everyone. This is my day one deck I am taking into the wailing caverns. As an avid shaman lover and personal strength of control play, this is my take into day 1.
The two additions come in the form of two new neutral card in the mini-set.
Mutanus the Devourer (7 mana 4/4 murloc - eat a minion)
&
Archdruid Naralex (3 mana 3/3 - dormant dream cards)
These two new additions should better prepare us for combo decks/warlocks/other control decks. I love the idea of obtaining an additional Nightmare for our Al'Akir the Windlord + Diligent Notetaker combo!! -edit: this is proving to be very effective in these early iterations. Having a lot of fun with this list right off the bat!
6/3 update: 7-1 currently in D-10. (loss is to clown druid, need a game plan for that :>)
A laughably bad deck. Can't beat any of the numerous control decks on ladder and cannot beat Mage. So what is the point?
I'm playing the simmilar deck and after about 50 games I can say, it's awesome vs all aggro matchups (especialy Hunter and paladin).
I'd recommend you to swap C'thun for Yogg since you run many cheap spells. I also run Nzoth package, with my only beast being Educated Elekk and I highly recommend it if you run into lots of Warlocks or Priests(which I do)
The only bad matchup (at least in my version) is Guardian Druid, to the point of actually conceding before we get to the late game. The new Murloc or Vol'jin might help, I'll test it out.
HF and thanks for sharing interesting deck, this is way more fun than aggro shaman
I think you need Maiv Shadowsong. It puts Noralex back to sleep for added value and late game can clear a taunt for lethal.
I think it is an interesting idea. Where would you fit it in at? I fear most games wouldn't allow for that kind of tempo, but I can see it being very good against other control decks.
Maiev Shadowsong would clash with Kazakus, Golem Shaper so that would be the most obvious choice I'd assume.
I think the downside of this deck is the usual shaman problem: no draw. Every single game I have played I have run out of cards in my hand while my opp had plenty.
The games I have played I almost have too many cards, between dream cards, guidance, and discoveries.
lady vashj is the best card in this deck , plenty of draw !
Any replacement for lurker?
It depends what you might be needing in your games. More pressure? Inara. More clear? Lightning storm. More survivability? Another Death's Head Cultist.
Let me know what you chose!
Hi, having a lot of fun. I didn't have the lurker and gave a chance to Perpetual Flame, doing well. Cheers!
5-0 so far :D
Hey i just won 1 game vs priest. The last 4 Games lost 2xSecret Pala and 1x rush warrior and 1x Mage. do you have any mulligan tips ? I Get complete destroyed by aggro decks :/
A lot of decks are being played, so half the battle is trying to guess whether they are gonna be control or aggro. I tend to lean towards aggro so that way you are always on the safe side to get to the late game. Potentially look for devolving missles + diligent notetaker. Death's Head Cultists and Venemous Scorpids definitely help in the early game clear!
Great deck 3-0 so far against priest, warrior, and paladin. Only change I made is taking out the lurker below and putting in speaker guidra and she’s been killing it for me.
Glad to hear you are killing it! Lurker Below has been somewhat awkward to play at times, so I can definitely see Speaker Guidra being a very valuable threat!
4-0 now but yeah she works very well with the C'thun pieces for some later game board presence or early game to clear pesky minions.
I played 5 games with this deck and i lost only once. Against rush warrior bcs he got very good tempo. But control warr is easy with this deck. I love Mutanus and Al Akir combo with +4/4. Its super strong. Thank you for making shaman great again.
Hey it is my pleasure. I just supplied the idea, you all are who fuel the greatness of shaman!
Is C'Thun really necessary i this deck? I feel like he doesn't do that much
