Hello folks, here is new Xixo's Totem Shaman deck I wanted to share with you, it is somewhat similar to Loyan's midrange shaman but it has more than enough card difference to call it a completely new deck and it plays out quite differently in the games too.
This deck can have very aggressive openings to a point where you can't tell if its aggro or midrange until it is to late. It seems quite good in the meta and a lot of the people started playing this deck, like Tyler, TwoBiers and few others.
Flexible cards:
-If you are meeting a lot of zoo and other midrange shamans you can replace 1x Feral Spirit for 1x Lightning Storm
-If you are meeting a lot of weapon classes you can replace 1x Master of Evolution for 1x Harrison Jones

Here is also Loyan's version of Totem Shaman with a few changed cards that I refer to in the video:

Here are some more videos of different people featuring this deck:
For a long time I don't know what is better to include - Harrison Jones or Flamewrathed? Harrison is awful against non weapon with his 4 hp and FF is easily removed by some spells and have huge overload but sometimes win the games. Also what is better to remove - Squire, Feral Spirit, storm or Juggler?
Great deck...just went from rank 11 to legend in 3 days. At the end, I switched out 2x Primal Fusion for a Abusive Sergeant and another Lightning Storm to deal with all the other shammys I was facing.
sure?
Is this the latest version of the deck or has Xixo changed it?
Not really sure, haven't checked in a while.
Depends. Which cards do you miss?
You 100% need Tuskarr Totemic, Doomhammer and Thunder Bluff Valiant.
I think 1 Thing from Below can be replaced with Sylvanas Windrunner, and about Flame Juggler, I still think you need at least 1 in deck, for example check replacements I've made (post below)
Ragnaros the Firelord is too heavy for this deck, IMO. But can work, cuz anyway you try to hold the board. And about Thunder Bluff Valiant, you really need those 2
Go play jimmysans midrange deck :) It runs ragnaros and al'akir, is a midrange list unlike this one.
Damn this deck is good. Made few replacements, works like a charm for me:
So far reached from rank 20 to rank 13 with 74% winrate (26-9)
Will give more info when will do more wins ;)
Great thx for this deck
P.S.: GOD I HATE PRIESTS
GJ
UPD.: Reached 6 rank. Just FYI, my previous highest rank ever was like 14. God bless creator of this deck :D
From rank 20 to 6 with 67% winrate (61-30), exciting! http://imgur.com/fbFe2vJ
How important/useful is Harrison Jones in this meta? Does it just depend on the current range that you're in currently in ranked? I have seen other variations of this deck with Harrison.
The 4 strongest classes in the meta right now are probably rogue, shaman, paladin, and warrior, all of which use weapons. This means that weapon removal is pretty important. You can always use Ooze if you don't have the dust/money for Harrison but he's definitely a worthwhile craft.
hunter seems to be a stronger class than paladin in the meta but hunter still uses weapon
This comment was prior to the rise of hunter. However, i'd also argue that it's ladder vs. conquest in terms of which is stronger for those two classes.
this deck brought me from rank 17 to 10 3-4 hours. its a really sollid deck but mostly struggles with patron/c'thun warrior and some rogue decks, it usually will be able to beat agro shaman, i only lost to one once because of bad draws.
This deck is insanely good! If you are familiar a tempo style of play in Arena, then you should know how to play this deck very well. Make profitable trades when possible, and remember, your Totem tokens can turn into huge threats if left unchecked by a Zoolock or Aggro Shaman (Both of which I find to be great match-ups for this deck).
TL;DR: This deck is great for people who play lots of Arena, as this deck plays like Rogue.
When put up against one another, this deck beats out the other totem shaman deck. Doomhammer is very powerful.
What rank can you get to with this deck?
