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:
I took my first legend with this deck :) Thx
There is no replacement that's as good as Spirit Claws but you COULD try Lightning Bolt
Hey man, ty for this perfect deck. I've never took legend so easy!!!
Do i have any suggestion for bloodmage thalnos replacement
probably loot hoarder or kobold geomancer
Between loot hoarder and kobold geomancer I recommend kobold geomancer for the spell damage, chances are you kill the enemy before you even need any extra card draw, if not then you aren't playing right tbh
I got from Rank 12 to 8 with close to no issues ;) Really good deck and it' also possible to come back in lategame with Lighning Storm as boardclear :)
What card can I replace here for Ragnaros the Firelord ?
What's this decks counter?
Why Barnes? I dont see a minion that combos well with him.
Tunnel Trogg, Flametongue Totem, Mana Tide Totem, Thunder Bluff Valiant, Bloodmage Thalnos, Azure Drake, Argent Squire
ok but chances are they wont survive the next round
I have played many shaman decks so far this season, but so far, this is probably the most refined list i have found :D
I made a video showcasing the game and had great success with the deck.
Thanks for this deck, reached rank 5 and trying to get legend with it, which will take me some more time :D
The only one thing I changed is Barnes for Master of Evolution, and worked pretty well.I couldn't also believe that midrange shaman can work without Lightning Bolt and Rockbiter Weapon, and surely this deck showed me that I wasn't right.
swapped out one thunder bluff valiant for a mukla's champion. worked out pretty well for me.
For those of you having trouble seeing why Barnes may be a good inclusion in the deck lets break down all the situations for you as this deck has 21 other minions in it.
Spell Power Synergy - 3 Minions
Barnes can pull Bloodmage Thalnos or Azure Drake. Those 3 cards give you the opportunity for synergy with 5 other weapon/spell cards in your deck.
Totem Synergy - 7 minions
Barnes can pull Flametongue Totem, Totem Golem, Mana Tide Totem. Those 5 cards can reduce the cost of Thing from Below acting as a third Tuskarr Totemic in your deck. Not to mention that a Flametongue draw gives you the chance for minion buffs and Mana Tide gives you card draw with the addition of no longer being "free kills" in the form of a 1/1 minion. Thunder Bluff Valiant summon gives you the opportunity to buff any totems already in play (assuming you have the mana to hero power).
Card Draw - 3 minions
Barnes can pull Mana Tide Totem or Bloodmage Thalnos giving you the opportunity for some free card draw.
Neutral Summon/Exact Copy - 7 minions
Barnes can pull Argent Squire or Bloodmage Thalnos essentially for free. While not the best summon from Barnes - Thing From Below and Tunnel Trogg do have the potential to create value outside of the remaining minions that only summon as 1/1s.
Underwhelming Summons - 5 minions
Where Barnes does whiff a bit is when it pulls Fire Elemental, Flamewreathed Faceless and Tuskarr Totemic. None of these minions offer any synergy with the deck if summoned.
In total (and not duplicating any minion across categories) 16 of the 21 minions (76%) provide at lease neutral/positive value from the summon while the remaining 5 minions (24%) offer no additional value outside of being a 1/1. And let us not forget that all of these minions, if they remain alive, can be buffed by Flametongue Totem which can help create value trades. Barnes may not exactly be the strongest of minions to play as many of the summons are situational, but as you can see there are plenty of opportunities for value by including him in your deck.
While i agree that there are many good outcomes, fuck Barnes right now. I tried it for a while but it is too damn slow right now, and i found burst damage cards to be much more reliable in those slots.
My deck has 1 Bloodlust and Thunder Bluff Valiant plus Al'Akir the Windlord as the ultimate late-game finisher tool. Of course it has all the aoe as well. I have won many more games since i made those changes.
1-5 with this deck
noob (
This deck is cancer but i love it
