Warning: Since this deck has appeared on the front page of hearthpwn, people have been avidly avoiding Mutanus. Steer clear of this deck for a while until people let their guard down again. 

Hi I've been around a while and all I do is play Shaman. 


I won 12 games in a row with this deck. I screwed over several mages and warlocks because of Mutanus. Mutanus the Devourer. You can get an advantage in the mirror matchup in about 30% of your games. 

Do not rely on Mutanus against rogues, warriors, or demon hunters. They all have cheap options for getting their quest completed and played in the same turn. Every other class is fair game. 

Do not overload on 6 against quest decks. There is a bizarre occurrence of mages being vulnerable to having their quest devoured, but warlocks are much less likely to be vulnerable because they can cheat mana. 

If you want to increase Mutanus' chances of eating the quest minion, then make a dangerous play before they finish their quest. Playing a Charged Call and getting a little lucky with a threatening statline will increase your chances of the opponent spending mana to remove it instead of mana to play the quest legendary. This is easier to do with Elemental Shaman because those decks have healthier minions, but it's achievable with this deck as well. 



This deck removes Diligent Notetaker in favour of Overdraft and Mutanus the Devourer. It may be because of my playstyle, but I had significantly more success avoiding that Notetaker altogether. It's excellent if you want to keep Doomhammer or Al'Akir the Windlord in your deck instead of Mutanus the Devourer because of the potential for discovering Stormstrike and Rockbiter Weapon. 

As it stands, those cards are all cluttery nonsense filling your hand against mages and warlocks. I'd rather have an ace in the hole than a defective nuke in the hardest matchups for Shaman players since the deathrattle hunter meta in 2015. 

Mulligans are the same for every opponent except mages and warlocks. You keep the quest and low-cost overload cards against all opponents, but you also keep Mutanus the Devourer against mages and warlocks. It's worth keeping. Have faith. Dream big. Do not Mulligan your win condition. 

Aggressively overload even if you have to lightning bolt your opponent in the face. Try and save at least one Charged Call until after you play Stormcaller Bru-kan

WARNING: Sometimes Mutanus is a dead card.
