Hearthpwn

When I play this deck, I will always keep the haunted creeper, the rockbiter, and the chow. I will only keep the egg if I have the sergeant, the rockbiter, and the flametongue with coin. I will just mulligan away any drops that are beyond 3 mana or more if I don't have the coin, and possibly keep the 3 mana if I have it.

Against a warlock, I tend to keep the lightning storm as my opening hand. Like wise against another Shaman or a Hunter, I keep feral as my opening hand. This deck can defeat most of the control deck quite easily. But against face Shaman or Hunter, you will have to get the feral spirit or even the argus because that's your only taunt.

It's a pretty consistent deck for me so far, I have a score of 18-8. Hovering around rank 6 now.

Glad to see your success, maybe I'll post a real mulligan guide soon.

Are Lava Shock and Mistcaller good replacements for BGH and Dr. Boom respectively?

Personally I like BGH in this deck, and if you have him id run him, if not, id craft him, hes included in almost every deck. But many people decided that he wasn't necessary, id rather suggest brann than lava shock, but your preference, lava shock isnt bad either. But for dr boom, he really isnt easily replaced. DR Balanced and his two boombots stack very well with bloodlust and created good board presence, but mistcaller may give your minions the stats advantage to combat that although a big loss in tempo. But Brann + Mistcaller could work well. Best of Luck.  

Replaced BGH, zombie chow, and Loatheb with 1x Shieldbearer, 1x Nexus-Champ Saraad, 1x Healing wave, and 1x Ironbeak Owl. Not having the 3 cards, I replaced them with what I thought would work. So far I've gone from rank 17 to 11 in about 2 hours of play. Saraad can be hit or miss with his spells but can prove useful. I added healing wave because without loatheb, it helps if you get board cleared; you can heal up and try to re-establish board. I am new to competitive play, though I've been playing for years. Any tips or replacements are welcome!

I had the same problem this season as I refused to run cancer paladin or midrange druid, the deck that i powered through rank 10-5 was Tempo mage. This deck I haven't run in competitive at all this season, so by the sounds of it, you know what youre doing, and i hope to hear more of your results. Dont give up on the deck yet.

Not bad stats, glad to see your success.

Any Updates?

So control priest is something you can't get around no matter how you play, its not you playing wrong, they have so many ways to clear the board that its just a really bad matchup. Plus Deathlord is really just gonna soak tons of damage. In terms of bgh you can definitley replace him with no problem. Personally I would add Brann, but if you dont have him, just another sticky 3 drop or an mctech should do fine.

its probably to slow but you can try, maybe throw in a senjin or something if youre having problems with aggro

I was thinking of adding a sea giant and a knife juggler instead of the zombie chows..what do you think i dont have them am on 3rd wing of naxx tell me better replacements if they are any 

Personally Id just replace them with Flame Jugglers if i had too, they're really good at contesting annoying 2 drops like shielded minibots and with 3 health have some sustainability. You dont have to include them and maybe sea giants works for you but my personal recommendation.

Hey shit happens. The deck I used to ladder with last season had a winrate of about 75% but one day went 7-37. Dont turn the deck down yet, make changes as you think necessary or ask if you dont know what to do.

haha I noticed I was to lazy to change it. It says his name right below anyway.

No Tuskarr Totemic? It's useful in flooding the board and in general is a decent drop for shamans.

Changed a few cards for this deck. It's pretty sad that shaman has no real viable option right now besides going full aggro. The deck is fine but everything above rank 10 to 5 is very hard to realise :/

Ranked Gameplay with some tweaks

Thanks, I like what you did.

Yea Brann is more of a fun card, another Tuskar or Argus can easily replace him.

What is your thought on adding Al'akir in this deck? He combos really well with rock bitters and helps with lethal.

Personally Im a BIG fan of al alkir people dont see his potential I even run him in my aggro shaman because hes won me many games popping out of deathlords or when youre close to lethal and topddecking. Hes a little hard to fit in this deck tho and could sometimes be too slow although if paired with rockbiter a better with condition than an enraged grom. Id personally drop mana tide totem for him if i were to add him to the deck.
