UPDATE#2: -1 Fireguard Destroyer, -1 Tunnel Trogg, +2 Azure Drake
BIG UPDATE - Many cards have been changed and I feel this is a better list
GUIDE:
This deck functions as a regular Midrange Shaman, HOWEVER it is a themed in Overload and it's synergies much like the Aggro Shaman. I was inspired by Aggro Shaman's powerful synergies to create a deck that could utilize it and not be a face themed deck.
Curve as Shaman with Overload is skewed so I will call the special Shaman curve Overload Curve which is essentially, instead of 1 drop into 2 drop into 3, it is 1 drop into 2 drop into 2 drop.
Mulligans:
Druid: Your 1-2 drops, Crackle is acceptable, Hex is sometimes acceptable with early game (Unfavored)
Hunter: 1-2 drops, keep Defender of Argus with the Coin, Lightning Storm is amazing here (50/50)
Mage: 1-3 drops, Unbound Elemental is very powerful vs Tempo Mages as they need to waste burn on a card that can ramp in power quickly (70/30)
Paladin: 1-2 drops, Lightning Storm is CRUCIAL here (30/70)
Priest: It is fine to have 3-4 drops here because they don't really threaten you with a 1 attack Cleric or Chow (40/60)
Rogue: Your Overload synergy cards that you can play on Overload Curve (75/25)
Shaman: 1-2 drops, removal, Lightning Storm (70/30)
Warlock: 2-3 drops, Earth Shock for Renolock, Lightning Storm for Zoolock (40/60)
Warrior: You can be greedy and keep 4 drops if they're Control and Storm for Patrons (50/50)
Just like any other mid-range decks...
Awesome deck!
Great minions who always guarantee pressure on decks controls and a great early against aggros ! I like it
There's no need for two Hex?
I feel like this deck needs some card draw - I've played several games with it and it seems really good, only I lost 2 games because I drew all the early game but then ran of of steam. After all, the only card draw in the deck is that Azure drake! Any suggestions?
Try -1 Trogg and +1 Ancestral Knowledge and tell me what you think
Is there any replacement for firegourd destroyer?
Second shredder and drake
This deck is pretty consistent. the only problem is that it does terrible vs paladin and ladder is riddled with them. There is some other unfavora ble matchups but overall good deck. I think this deck could have some potential in the upcoming standard format.
I see this deck becoming much stronger in the standard format as well, we'll have to see
what about to add a justicar truehearth? its crazy but sometimes summon totems of your choice is rlly good and can save the game can i replace neptulon to justicar ?
Justicar is horrible in Shaman, sorry man
If you want a deck to runJusticar Trueheart you should check out my Reno Shaman deck.
This deck needs some heal! :-D -Drake +Healbot
I have edited the guide to include matchups, enjoy!
Bad, anything aggro
Try Ragnaros
Is it possible to replace Neptulon with Al'Akir the Windlord?
Neptulon just give you cards so you won't run out of gas in the late game and Al'Akir the Windlord is a great finisher. See what thing you need the most
After this update, yes it is entirely possible to swap them out interchangeably
Any switch for Dr. Boom? Maybe Nefarian or Emperor Thaurissan?
BTW, 11 upvotes ;p we want a guide! :D
