Revolving around the new Shaman Questline Command the Elements, this deck features several overload spells and minions that synergize strongly with them. Three main categories of cards are in the deck being: Burn/Damage Spells, Utility Cards and Generation/Draw Cards.

Burn/Damage Spells:

Lightning Bolt, Crackle, Landslide, Lightning Storm and Serpentshrine Portal are all nature spells that deal damage and they therefore synergize immensely with Bru'kan and Hallazeal the Ascended.

Utility cards:

Among these cards are first of all Lightning Bloom to provide extra mana on the various combo turns. Next, the card Devolving Missiles (only one copy) is included, to ensure disruption capabilities against big minion decks, Rez Priest in particular. Furthermore, the card Finders Keepers provides reliable Quest completion because it in itself is an overload card, and also generates one. Then we have cards like Overdraft and Lava Shock, that both unlock the overloaded mana crystals, as well as deal damage. For Extra damage, late game draw and potent healing capability Lady Vashj and Hallazeal the Ascended assures a strong and lethal late game. Lastly, Bru'kan has incredible synergy in the deck with all of the nature damage spells.

Generation/Draw cards:

The main draw tool of the deck, is the Spirit of the Frog, that (if played correctly) will ensure a stabile and reliable draw engine. For extra spell generation and combo potential Diligent Notetaker will provide some extra options, being more face damage or better clears. Furthermore, Ancestral Knowledge provides stabile draw.

Main Strategy:

The main strategy of the deck, is to complete Command the Elements as fast a possible to begin dealing obsene amounts of damage with burn spells. In order to keep up with the high demand of card draw, the deck features several utility and generation cards (see respectable sections above).

OTK combos:

Having played the final quest reward Stormcaller Bru'kan, all spells in the deck is cast twice. Therefore a very easy way to OTK your opponent, is to play the regular Bru'kan, then a Diligent Notetaker, followed by 3 Lightning Bolts (the last one generated by the Notetaker) each dealing 12 damage (36 damage to the opponent in total). Being a 4 card combo this should not be difficult to pull of, especially not against a slower deck. This combo can also be done with Crackle, although the damage ranges from 24 to 36 depending on how much RNGJesus loves you.

I hope this little guide was informative, have fun slinging spells at your opponent while utilizing possibly the worst keyword in Hearthstone: OVERLOAD!
