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:
Is this still a thing
Still works.
Loses to priests in ranked. pleh.
Why is this in the Standard section???
Is this still feasable in Un'Goro wild?
This deck gets shut down by anything. Its total shit.
'Absolute nugget' is the funniest phrase I've read today. Nicely done.
Videos are marked private, are they out of date or can you change that so I can watch your explanation video? Thanks, great deck!
Master of Evolution is a good idea instead of Flame Juggler? :/
Deck is still valid ?
can i replace doomhammer please?
Nope. It is only 400 dust. It hits 10 damage with Rockbiter Weapon. You should craft it friend.
Just played 3 games with this deck at 16 and leveled up to 15. Will admit a lot of draw went in my favor but this deck is definitely still manageable after nerfs
Since the Tuskarr nurf, what can be used to replace it?
Still a viable deck. Got me to rank 11 season.
sucks vs. aggro mages no healing and you just die at turn 10 while everything is frozen
Deck is junk in current meta
Last season I've tried this deck as I really like Midrange decks in general. For me it went far from 84% win rate, but I've ended up with 56% which is ideal for laddering up I suppose.
I crafted Doomhammer just for this deck and it is an awesome weapon for Shaman, truly no subtitution for it.
Rank 19 -14 in about 3 hours with about 80% win
