Hey guys! I'm Evangelion, a legend eu player member of the Samsung Gaming eSports Spain team. Shaman it's my main class, so im trying hard to find a useful deck in this meta!
I'm playing right now with this deck and I made it to top 50 legend. It's really good vs agro, and decent vs control matchups. Only handlock and rogue are hard right now.
The mulligan it's pretty standard. You want some cheap removal, one or two eggs and feral spirit. Against agro a fast start it's 70% of the game; if you can argus one egg with just a totem usually you have a huge advantage. Lava shock it's decent in my opinion, you have 7 overload cards; if you time it well it's useful in many situations.
The new grim patron deck it's a bit annoying I must say. You want to control the board since the beginning and try to push for damage early on. In my experience, if you have azure drake + storm one or two times when he's doing the combo, you have a huge chance of winning.
If you're playing against druid or handlock, keep one Hex if you can, inervate into something it's too much to handle sometimes. On the other hand, I find fireguard destroyer pretty awesome vs druid, he trades so well a lot of his stuff.
Oh! You can add a healbot and -1 piloted shredder if you're fighting a lot of face hunters. It's useful against the grim patron deck too and sometimes against druid or zoo. That hp its good enough to run out of the combo zone.
Love you all!
craft a Neptulonfor this deck!nice!
I think you should rename this deck "eggcellent rng"
I really like the deck. Just made a few games but it works. I had to replace alakir with doomhammer cause i dont got him. In one game i got totally wrecked by a paladin when he played harrison against my 2/6 weapon. x)
Sometimes Doomhammer is a lot better than Alakir.
I am trying the deck right now with a Bloodlust instead of Neptulon. Your deck has so many sticky and cheap creatures that I think Lust is a good substitute to help close out the games, and the card draw you have is adequate with a Tide Totem and 2 Drakes.
My gut tells me that Nefarian is not a good (at least not the best) replacement. If you need a replacement I have seen some suggest Chromaggus. In my mind Chromaggus > Nefarian in this build since Chromaggus adds cards that synergize with your deck rather than cards that very well may not. Also, Nefarian is susceptible to Big Game Hunter whereas Chromaggus is not. If it was me, I would try Chromaggus or something else that produces quality card draw if you don't have Neptulon.
Perfectly valid argument. Truth is, Nefarian and Chromaggus aren't the only two we should consider really. There are many other card draw options available, all with their own pros and cons. I think the point of Neptulon is to help refill your hand so the important thing is likely to consider those types of options. I say experiment and most of all just have fun with it. The deck is doing great right now!
I find it amazing how often my Mana Tide Totem gets ignored and I am able to abuse it like a red-headed step child! Anyway, nice deck! I am currently using it on ladder and climbing away!
It's mostly their for card draw but can probably be replaced with like Sylvanas or another big minion.
This deck is amazing! I just went 8-0 on ladder! Well done, sir!
neptulon and al akir are some of the few legendaries i still dont have to this day, what are good cards to put in instead ?
there isn't a replacement for nep really however if you really must have a replacement for al akir then leroy is a good replacement card however no where as good as it doesn't hold board presence
Doomhammer is a decent replacement for Al'Akir the Windlord. I find that it is even better in some cases. Just beware the return of cards like Harrison Jones.
I have a Foe Reaper 4000 in place of Al'Akir bc I don't have him and Foe Reaper is great for cutting through QuarterMusters and Patrons alike, three at a time. He can also hang around for a good couple turns, smushing little dudes and smacking their larger friends for free.
Amazing deck! Shaman class came back in ladder :)
What can u say about Lava Shock? Does it really suit well in this deck? I found it pretty useless in most matchups and the only reasonable anti-overload play is after neptulon.
Thank u a lot. I never thought about such a use of Lava Shock. So I'm certainly give it a shot. Anyway the idea of the deck is great. I'm glad to see working shaman not only in agro mech archetype.
I have enough dust to craft either legendary but not sure if I should since there are other class legendaries like Grom or Mal'Ganis I don't have. Could replacing Al'Akir with Doomhammer and Neptulon with something like Rag, Chromaggus or Nefarian work?
I don't disagree with giving Chromaggus a shot. He may prove to be a little too slow for this build but I'd be curious to know if he can pull his weight in it.
Well, I'm glad to see Dragon's egg getting more public recognition,
As a bit of a side question, can Bloodlust fit in this deck?
