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:
I tried the deck with a control warrior and i won fulling of totem the table.... The deck is not so bad and i really love tauren valiant synergies with totem, but i think it is a bit slow with warlocks face decks and similar. Cut the faceless makes the deck a bit faster than the others with them, but i should test it more to give u a final consideration. However good job it can works
I climbed the Ladder with this Deck till Rank 4! Now i have huge problems against Patron / Worgen Warrior, and it seems that RNG is never on my side. When should i play the Rider ? On Turn 5 or wait till Turn 7 ?
Really tried to make this deck work. At least in EU it is not working at all. Also never lost to it with Warrior or any kind C'thun or Zoo.
I do no see any strong matchup for this deck. 55% winrate is bad...if lucky you get perhaps 65%... but this is simply trash for laddering... good for a daily quest perhaps.
Legit most fun deck I have seen in a couple months. The cool part is that it is actually quite viable in standard ATM
I made a video showcasing the deck, and I hope you guys enjoy this deck as much as I did.
You topdecked like... A LOT
always lucky ?? how the hell do you think i get legend every month ... im apparenty lucky as fuck in this children card game ...
very good deck 9-2 so far
no faceless?
Troggs are not raplaceable ? (
-1 Mana Tide Totem +1 Azure Drake ???
rank 9-10 only losing since i start playing this deck.. either the rng is not with me or the deck suck.
concede, you'll save time :)
