I did not track the stats, but i climbed pretty easily from rank 500 to rank 18 legend
Mulligan for the early minions except for scarab, you want him in mid/late game to help you with the discover hability.
Cards Choice Explanation:
Tunnel Trogg is a powerful early minion, similiar to a Mana Wyrm, but you can play in curve your minions and buff his attack
2x Lightning Bolt its a good removal on early game and buffs Tunnel Trogg
2x Jeweled Scarab because shaman has probably the best 3 drops in the game and you can choose wich card would help you in a better way. At first i was trying 2x Lightning Storm and 2x Hex , but they are situational cards and you can get them from Jeweled Scarab and i liked it.
2x Fireguard Destroyer good sinergy with Trogg
1x Bloodlust i won a lot of games with a 12 or 15 damage bloodlust
UPDATE: My friend Nalguidan picked at rank 4 with the deck
UPDATE 22/11
I tracked some games today and yesterday, 33-15 so far with a few changes i made to the list by reading all your comments.
-1 Jeweled Scarab +1 Ironbeak Owl : it was hard to battle the board against deathrattle rogues and the owl its really good in a lot of matches.
-1 Tuskarr Totemic +1 Unbound Elemental: after reading your comments i tried 2 Unbounds but Tuskar is still good for me, so i decided to run 1 of both.
-1 Piloted Shredder+1 Defender of Argus: Argus is always good in shaman, i could not decide if i wanted to remove 1 shredder of 1 destroyer, its a close choice
About Brann Bronzebeard and Neptulon, i tried them and the meta is too fast for them, if you are facing a lot of control decks they are a good option though.
Mulligan Guide
General: Tunnel Trogg, Haunted Creeper and Totem Golem are always a keep, if you have one of those in hand you can keep Flametongue Totem too, and if you have the coin you can keep a 3 drop also.
VS Druid: Lightning Bolt or Crackle (to kill Darnassus Aspirant).
VS Hunter: Lightning Bolt and Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl to control early board.
VS Mage: Lightning Bolt to kill Mana Wyrm, Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl to silence Mad Scientist or Doomsayer (dont silence scientist unless you know its tempo mage).
VS Paladin: Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl to control early minions, Lightning Storm.
VS Priest: Lightning Bolt for Northshire Cleric, Hex and a 4 drop if you have coin (not Argus).
VS Rogue: Lightning Bolt for their 3 drop, Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl because it could be deathrattle rogue.
VS Shaman: Lightning Bolt to kill Tunnel Trogg, Lightning Storm.
VS Warlock: Earth Shock / Ironbeak Owl, Hex, Lightning Bolt instead of Hex if you know its zoo.
VS Warrior: Hex and a 4 drop if you have coin (not Argus).
This deck is a lot of fun, and what cards did you drop to add the Unbound Elementals?
Cant believe how good this deck is. Ranked 4-1 (just wanted to reach rank 5) and unranked 5-0 so far. Easy wins against every secret-paladin.
Oh my. This deck is amazing! I subbed neptulon for an azure drake as per heypieyum's suggestion. Works wonders because of the current meta of control and fatigue, causing you to be low on cards in the late-game.
- Tuskarr Totemic + Brann Bronzebeard
In my opinion Brann adds way more potential value with a much stonger body for 3 mana. He shines mid/late game with Fireguard Destroyer, Fire Elemental, Dr. Boom combos. He also can double up your Tuskarr Totemic
Yes I agree that this is a very funny improvement also.
And don't forget Jeweled Scarab , now you can choose 2 cards in a turn, it's far better way than drawing 2 random cards.
awesome deck!!! what about mist caller and brann ?what u guys think?
i have been trying brann a few games and it did not make a huge difference. I dont have mist caller to test it, but seems a bit slow
so just checking in, this deck has been beating me on multiple decks of mine so upvoted! gonna add it to my collection and give it a whirl.
this deck very nice.. thanks man...
seems like a total disaster vs freeze mage and hunters
i have not lost a single game against freeze or hunter (around 3-0 against both)
This deck is insane, Im currently 9-1 ( rank 4 ) probably gonna climb to legend with this.
Thanks for the deck, people saying this deck sucks can you please tell me if you use any replacements?
Cyber
Edit: Not legend rank 4 btw, just regular ( mountain giant). :)
try -1 azure drake and +1 neptulon. It's a really good insurance policy especially in casual/high tier where deck predicting is harder.
Is The Mistcaller valid also? ^^
Thanks! Only played a few games with this deck but I'm loving it so far. Just hit 500 wins with Shaman will using it! Although the final one was a no-show opponent for an unopposed win. Getting my golden pally was a lot more epic
can i replace azure drake x bloodmage thalnos? due that you are running five damage spells, (i run a second lightning storm and a crackle x lightning bolt for more lethal)
This deck tends to go for a board control lethal, taking advantage of Overload to gain board tempo. I highly suggest not splitting your win condition and game plan down two paths, because that will hinder them both.
Thanks for it, i will give a thought about replacing lightning bolt x crackle.
Bloodmage thalnos is my main question because he is specially useful with lightning storm( almost a flamestrike x 5mana)
They really don't have replacements. But if you have to then Loatheb could take the place of Azure Drake and Lightning Storm for the Feral Spirit.
i would craft azure drake, its a good card in a lot of decks, instead of feral spirit you can try defender of argus or the unbound elemental
