TIPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR GAMEPLAY:
UPDATE: This got to Rank 1 of Hot in just a few hours, thanks to you guys. This is by far the best deck to climb right now and I actually haven't lost a game with it since I created this guide ramping it from a 80% to a 84%. I'm quite sure this deck can stand at a 65% winrate in competitive play.
This is the current version of the Totem Shaman, which turned out to be far superior to other shaman decks that run Flamewreathed Faceless
Pro-Player Xixo played a variation of this deck at dreamhack and the legend player Loyan created the archetype for this deck.
It's super easy to climb with this as it can be super aggressive and you can win by turn 6 easily. It seems like Priest is actually it's worst matchup and you don't see those often on ladder.
Card Explanation:
I made this video real quick explaining how and in which combination to use the cards. It's a card guide and nothing more, but I hope you still enjoy it. Full gameplay and explanation is coming soon.
MULLIGAN:
In general you want to mulligan for your early game.
Argent Squire, Tunnel Trogg, Flame Juggler, Totem Golem, Tuskarr Totemic
As you can see there are ALOT of cards you can mulligan for, so you usually start with a good hand. There are a few decks where you want to keep specific cards in your hand to counter the opponnent sooner or later.
vs. SHAMAN
Keep Lightning Bolt or Rockbiter Weapon + your early game cards. You can also keep a Hex instead and use it on their Dr.4 aka. Flamewreathed Faceless once they play it, putting them in a huge disadvantage.
vs. WARLOCK
Keep Lightning Storm or Tunnel Trogg + Lightning Bolt most of the warlocks are Zoo and a well timed Lightning Storm just fucks em over, but be careful not to use it too early, or they'll just fill the board again. Trogg + Lightning Bolt destroys their turn one Voidwalker and challenges any of their 2 drops without dying itself.
vs. WARRIOR
Nothing special to keep, except Harrison Jones IF you techd him in. Just look for your early game and try to accelerate before the warrior gets too much armor or board control.
REPLACEMENTS:
There aren't alot of replacements to be honest. NO YOU CAN'T REPLACE Tunnel Trogg!
You can replace Lightning Storm or Feral Spirit or Argent Squire for a Flamewreathed Faceless and Harrison Jones
VIDEOS MADE OF THIS DECK:
Unfortunately not, it's one of the best 1 drops in the deck and 1 drops are vital especially against the other aggro/midrange matchups. I would highly recommend just saving up gold for the LOE wing to unlock it.
I'm playing Abusive Sargeant. Not quite the same tho.
I tried many and I found Lowly Squire the best pick since u will be using hero power quite often.
Made it to rank 7 in 1 day on my f2p account so i guess it works
I dont understand how everyone is doing so incredibly well with this deck, i'm currently 3-7 with it and it's incredibly frustrating. Whenever I play a control deck i get my face smashed in by this deck, but when i actually try to play it, i get roflstomped by control and all my draws are terrible. Help?
You still need to put some thought into this deck. You can't just play whatever and expect to win. Think good about your starting hand, what class you are against and what deck they may be running. Also as someone else mentioned ; don't flood your board. It's pretty easy to punish and I see it often as someone stuck in rank 16-14 myself (I too am new and make missplays often). Primarily, play because you enjoy the game for what it is, not just that little number. You'll only frustrate yourself even more and play worse and super aggressive.
Yo yo, dudes. I made a video about this deck. It's definitely a pretty strong deck, and it's fun to play, I was a bit skeptical about Primal Fusion, but it can definitely do wonders, by not allowing people to clear your cards as easily. You have everything in the deck, a stable curve, board clears and finishers, and let's not forget the synergy. Check out my video and leave a comment or two.
You really need to start making own decks. This is not because I want to be an asshole, but you're literally just making gameplay videos of others decks. The ammount of work you do is really low, just start to build own new decks and showcase these instead of copying 24/7. I really mean that in a friendly way, as you seem to have a decent set-up to record.
Ugh, dude I get your point, but do you not think, that there is a reason behind showcasing other people's decks ? People wanna see how these decks works, like everyone is making videos, that's the point of showcasing. Making videos of my own decks, yeah it might be cool, but there won't be too much of an audience for now, so there is not really too much point in it.
The problem is that you commented on nearly every meta deck atm with a showcase of the deck. There are many other people who do that already, it's not like that if you don't do it anymore, there will be no other showcases at all. It's kind of annoying seeing you under every deck with very similar comments.
Yeah, no fucking shit. Show me one deck where everyone who posts videos isn't posting their video. I have no idea how it is annoying to see mine, but not the other ones, I think that that's just a problem you have. People have different taste, one person wants to see "X"'s videos, the other one wants to see "Y"s videos. I have no idea why it's so hard for you to comprehend this.
Just telling you what my opinion is. Apparently you don't accept constructive criticism. Continue spamming your videos under every meta deck, but I'm gon' tell you that this won't help you to gain more reach.
Have a nice day
So i just read your posts and apparently it happens quiet often that someone complains. You should really re-think your comments.
Out of more than 100,000 viewers, 5 have complained, and that's often, hey I am not the best at math, but still that's easy to calculate. About constructive criticism, I can't see how complaining about something irrelevant is helping me improve my videos or as you say it helping me gain reach. I appreciate when people write constructive criticism comments, but the difference between constructive and nonconstructive is there.
"You really need to start making own decks. This is not because I want to be an asshole, but you're literally just making gameplay videos of others decks. The ammount of work you do is really low, just start to build own new decks and showcase these instead"
--> That's what I wrote first and constructive feedback. Either accept it or don't, I don't really care.
Also, I don't mean you comments on the videos itself, but the comments you get on Hearthpwn, by fellow players
And I responded to your constructive criticism and explained, why I do not agree with your points of view, or at least why I agree with some of them. I know that you are talking about the comments on Hearthpwn, but the comments on my youtube videos are also from Hearthstone players, so that argument is still not realy valid.
It actually is, that makes absolutely no sense mate. You'll get more Hearthstone feedback here than on youtube. Whatever as you don't listen to me, just continue as you're doing and don't bother
And that's what I am intending to do, I am continuing. I am not getting any Hearthstone feedback here, but irrelevant complaining, that doesn't really bother me.
No evolve and no faceless, thanks for making this deck popular on ladder. I've been farming it all week with midrange evolve sham and dragon priest. I've lost maybe 2-3 games.
How did you get 80-84% winrate? Please provide proof. I want to see the numbers!!!!
From 15 rank to 10 and 2 stars without loses. Around 11 win's in a roll. Greate deck, ty
