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:
This deck is cancer. I have no experience playing shaman, i started rank 17 and am now rank 8. the only times i lost were to other shamans. this shouldn't be happening. We were supposed to have a nice relaxing control meta but now of course it's just cancer 2.0. I guess somethings never change.
-2 for stating the truth? wow you guys are cunts
Loses to tempo decks, which are very plentiful on ladder.
dontbepotato do u think al akir (my fav legendary) could maybe fit in as more burst? they asked this earlier but i wanted ur thoughts.
thanks for the response. really enjoying this deck at rank 6 and climbing. only losses come when i flood and overextend i need to improve in that. i kinda get confused on when to hold back and when to throw on the board. but fun fast and strong deck dude.
Any replacement for tunneltrogs as i dont have league of explorers?
Zoo wrecks me :(
Zoo wrecks almost everyone.
Very strong -- nicely done; I don't normally have instant success as the case has been with this build.
This deck is insane. I've played many other new Old Gods decks but never had as much success as with this deck.
Im currently 16 - 0, going straight up with winstreak bonus. I don't think i've ever had a winstreak like this before.
Some matches were very close but this deck has many win conditions.
Using the insane burst of Doomhammer + Rockbiter Weapon, board flood with all the double minions drops likeTuskarr Totemic andFeral Spirit and combo withBloodlust, or totems combined with ThunderBluff Valiant.
Upvoted and suggested to my friends! Thank you!
40 dust man WTF?
Great deck and surprisingly, a ton of fun! Thanks! Very out of the ordinary :)
I feel like earth shock is a better card for this deck than primal fusion. And bloodlust has been a dead card in almost every game of mine. If you can use it, ur already winning. I think a fire elemental would be better
i feel the same, fire elemental works pretty well, im trying forked lightening too. all my losses could have been solved with some more removal.
I think the problem with bloodlust is everyone is keeping it until they have like a minimum of 5 minions on the board to use it, and because sometimes you don't establish a board like that, the card doesn't get played. It's good to use bloodlust on 2 minions if you get good trades in.
Great deck! Only problem I am having is in facing warriors... Any advice??
