Hi!  I did not make this deck, fancy that! Kolento did, and all the credit is due to him. It is, however, a sweet, sweet deck, that Kolento played on his stream today, and i couldn't stop playing it (and winning like, a ton) with it, so here it is.

Here's the VoD from stream, the shaman part is somewhere in the middle there: https://www.twitch.tv/kolento/v/63332530

It rocks. So. Freaking. Hard. 

How does it play though? 

Firs of all: overload management, Don't screw it up. Count it. 

Second of all: big stuff. Between Things From Below, Flamewreathed Facelesses, Fire Elemelons and Earth Elemelons and, of course, Ragnaros, you have a lot of big  stuff to play and for your opponents to answer. 

Against aggro you balance good removal (Lightning Storms and Bolts), taunts (Thing From Below, Earth Elemental) and strong early game drops (Troggs, Totem Golems and Wolves) to make them cry, however if you screw up overload management AND/OR do not draw your aoe against Zoo you might have a bad time. 

Against mid range and control (so let's be frank, C'Thuns) your best gameplan is to kill them before they kill you. Duh. BUT given that you pack a serious punch, at a certain point you should be able to just say "screw this" and start beating them down. On top of that you have Master of Evolution to pseudo-heal your big stuff after you trade into their big taunts (namely Dark Arakkoas and Twin Emperors). 

Oh, and one small thing, Flamewreathed Faceless is not really a 4 drop, your real 4 drop is Thing From Below. However, with C'Thun Druid being everywhere, be sure to drop your Flamewreathed on the board just before their 6 mana turn - that's when they play their overstatted Dark Arakkoa, and turns out your 7/7 trades pretty well with that. If everything is on cure you should even be able to Master of Evolution your 7/7 after killing their 5/7 taunt into a healthy 5 drop, Sure, your minion will most likely be smaller than when you played it, but it will no longer have only 2 remaining hp - leaving your opponent pretty sad. 


Also, shameless self promotion, here's my video of the deck. I'm honestly doing this just because I love the deck so damn much. 

 

P.S. If me posting all this, given that I'm, obviously, not Kolento, is a step over the line, then I humbly apologize. I seriously just do this because of my love for the game and for this deck in particular, Once again, all credit due to Kolento, check out his stream here, YT here, and ignore parts about myself if you find it irrelevant or annoying.
