Hey guys!
This deck took me to from rank 17 to legend in just 13 hours with a winrate of 68%
The deck performs very well against druids, dragon warriors and hunters which is perfect for this meta.
Mulligan
Keep
Conditional keeps
- Flametongue Totem if you have Argent Squire or Tunnel Trogg
- Bloodmage Thalnos if you have Spirit Claws
- Lightning Storm or Maelstrom Portal against aggro
- Tuskarr Totemic if you have 1 and 2 mana drops or 1 mana drop and Coin
Remember, this is not an aggro deck. Using hero power is crucial to get reduction on Thing from Below. Trade efficiently and carefully use your overload cards to ensure that you can play cards like Azure Drake, Thunder Bluff Valiant and Fire Elemental on correct turns. Prepare you board with totems if you are getting close to a turn 7 Thunder Bluff Valiant + hero power. ALWAYS PLAN AHEAD
Huge shoutout to Fur0 who made a video of him playing the deck:
Love the deck but I've made a few changes. First I didn't really like the Argent Squire. Yes the DS on them is nice but they don't present much of a threat so I've substituted 2x Lowly Squires. They have a bigger butt and can grow into a threat that has to be dealt with. We're using our hero power so much that this synergises well. Even works if pulled by Barnes. I'm also running 2x Flamewreathed as well along with a raid leader. I dropped the two Fire Ele's to make room. Raid leader is just nasty in this deck and again he works with Barnes. As for the FE's, well I've been back and forth on them. It just seems that the Flamewreathed are working out better for me. Although I am considering dropping one of them for Nef. Also toying with dropping Raid Leader for another Feral Spirit or Maelstrom Portal, maybe even a knife juggler. Not really sure though
it's not an aggro deck...why would you pick up a midrange deck and try make it something it isn't?
Thanks a lot for the decklist and guide! Managed to hit legend for the first time! Only change I did was a 2nd Maelstrom Portal instead of Bloodmage Thalnos, since I didn't have him and didn't have the dust to craft him.
You should really consider Kobold Geomancer to replace Thalnos. That extra spell damage is huge.
where do you play ? America or EU ?
Got my first time legend with this very powerful deck, especially in this meta, S30. I replaced 4mana7/7 with Ragnaros though.
the deck loses to other midrange shamans who have more flexibility with rockbiter, and lightning bolt.
also barnes it totally useless in this deck
I tried this deck and lost 3 rank... Going from rank 10 to rank 13 in 30 min because always get my hand out of cards in 4 turn maximum.. dunno how to play this when u have 1 card draw :D (i know how to play shaman i got rank 3 with aggro shaman, shaman neeed no skill now)
How do you go down three ranks in thirty minutes? I'd get about three games in in that time
From rank 12 to 9 played 25 games with total score 15 - 10. On 9th hit the wall.
Priest 1 - 1
Mage 2 - 3
Warlock 1 - 2
Hunter 0 - 2
Rogue 1 - 0
Paladin 3 - 0
Druid 2 - 0
Warrior 4 - 1
Shaman 1 - 1
This deck is awesome. Went to rank 16 to rank 5 within a day with an excellent win ratio. I had to swap out Thalnos for Kobold Geomancer since I didn't have Thalnos and this deck still did extremely well. I think tomorrow I'll get to Legend just for the fun of it.
Hi,
Thanks a lot BlackDaniel, I also love this deck which made me reach rank 3 for the first time so far with 63% win rate at rank 4 , starting at rank 7. I made lots of videos playing it (playlist on Youtube) :
I played 20 matches with this deck. Went 11-9. I really liked it, but struggled against control warriors, and by luck, faced 5 of them.
I replaced Barnes with Harrison Jones and won 5 of my next 6.
I've made the exact same change. Going from 14 to 11 at the moment. The deck really crushes the default warrior decks (and I love that)! Warriors are nasty but Harrison saved me at times that Barnes would not have saved me.
Fun deck without too many disadvantages in my opinion :).
Yeah, I'm 20-7 after the change. Currently rank 4
Have you considered Al'Akir the Windlord for this deck? A lot of midrange shamans seem to run it these days as a finisher.
I think ragnaros would be better
This deck isn't running Rockbiter Weapon, so Al'Akir is a little worse.
Al'Akir in any other Midrange Shaman deck is fantastic.
Thank you so much for this Deck <3 It's the first time I got Rank 5 my best rank war 6 so far :) Thanks
great deck
