INTRO:
I have tried few different decklists and changed a few cards around until I came to this version which served me very good. I went from rank 4.2k to top 100 legend in 2 days with it.
The deck is very strong for this early standard meta and I consider it S Tier (Super Tier that is above all the T1 decks out there).
As there are no more Deathlords, Sludge Belchers and Antique Healbots in standard this deck got a lot of stronger, it only lost crackes but it gained Eternal Sentinels and insane Flamewreathed Faceless! But you need to have the board when you drop it so we went for stronger early game in terms of Argent Squires and Flametongue Totems.
So all with all those changes in consideration this deck came up on top of...well every other deck out there atm. I do believe however that as the meta gets older and other decks more polished, this deck will drop down to T1.
UPDATE: Got #61 legend with it 2 days before the end of the season. (Total score is 43-15 from rank 4.2k and up).
Gameplay videos:
Here is a list of my games from today, went from 4.2k+ to rank 127 legend in a day. As you can see the deck is VERY streak-y so if you start with a losing streak don't get discouraged!
REPLACEMENTS:
-Eternal Sentinels can be replaced with Flame Jugglers.
-Sir Finley Mrrgglton can't really be replaced but if you don't have him you can try Worgen Infiltrator or a Lava Shock.
-Tunnel Troggs can maybe be replaced by Worgen Infiltrators if you absolutely have no other option, but note that the deck wont be nearly the same.
FAQ:
Q: What hero power should you be trying to get with finley?
A: Hunter usually, if you need some board control you can get the druid one (it works well with doomhammer), vs control or zoo sometimes you might want to get warlock hero power, next one is mage, then pala. You pick warrior/priest only if you are playing vs another aggro deck and you drop it late game and just need that 1 extra turn to kill your opponent.
Q: small guide please?
A: Argent squires + Abusive / Flame tongue are for early board control, you can watch the video above, I tried to include as much gameplay tips as I could.
Q: What are the cards that I should mulligan with?
A: It really depends on the matchups and if you have coin or not, but usually you keep 1 drops + abusive, totem golems, and if you have coin and play vs something like zoo or other shaman you might keep a 1 mana removal with coin.
As for doomhammer, you can keep it if you have 1+2 drop or if you are playing vs a control deck and have 1 or 2 drop, I don't recomend that you keep it if you don't have an early game minion or if you are playing vs an aggressive deck.
As you know every deck builder needs some sort of incentive, so this will be the plan:
10+ likes I will make a quick video that includes tips about the general playstyle of the deck
50+ likes I will make a list of possible replacements (those are always in high demand)
Videos that other people made:
Replacement for Doomhammer
can lava shock be replaced? if yes, wat card can replace it ?
This deck as a whole puts huge pressure on the opponent! Had Tunnel Trogg with 5 damage and [card]Flamewreathed Faceless[/card] to assist in the damage. I was ready to bring in flame tongue to give 16 face damage. Alas, My opponent conceded.
Can you still hit legend with this deck ?
UPDATE FOR JULY 2016 meta:
Replace Eternal Sentinel x2 with Tuskarr Totemic x2
Replace Ancestral Knowledge x2 with Thing from Below x2
Optional: Replace Earth Shock x1 with Flame Juggler x1
Nice deck, but... -1 Doomhammer +Hammer of Twilight
-1 Sir Finley +Charged Hammer
sir finley is a lot faster than charged hammer, also you can get warlock hero power for extra draw power, you need the 2 doomhammer because its your way of closing the game, doomhamer + rockbiter weapon for a total of 10 damage + anythuing on the board, if you dont get the warlock hero power you run out of stuff at some point so that final burst is esseantial.
Is it ok to change eternal sentinels to lava shocks?
Just got legend with this deck!
-1 Doomhammer +Hammer of Twilight
-1 Eternal Sentinel Flame Juggler
Because no dust xD
Nice man, GJ!
This deck is just unfair. 100 % wins in 7 games from rank 9 to 7. Met all classes except fellow Shamans, Rogues and Pallies, killed'em all on or before turn 6. Just amazing - getting the Legend rank has never been so real (not since the midrange hunter a year ago or so) :))
i dont get the hype . rank 5-2 all u face are full taunt druids and tempo warriors with monkey and bloodhoof which this deck is absolutely allergic to taunt disease .
This deck got me to rank 10 easily tonight which is my target rank for end of season. Not a hardcore player so three goldens for my reward is plenty.
Had problems with control warrior but that's about it.
Go Go you should push for rank 5, golden epic in the chest :)
Just went from rank 9 to 5 with a 15 to 3 win ratio (83%). Done with ranked play this season now. All 3 losses were from control/nzoth priests. This deck needs nerfing.
this deck is not strong. completely crap. no more than level 9
Then you're playing it wrong, because my friend and me, we both got legend by using this deck only
Priest is not that bad of a matchup as long as you don't overextend into an aoe clear and try keep their board clean.
What are the cards that I should mulligan with? I usually do the 1 drops + maybe Totem Golem/Abusive Sergeant
