In case you missed it, the devs at Hearthstone have recently introduced a new balance patch, and it's brought some amazing buffs to the Shaman class, who I believe now have the perfect Buff Shaman list. Below I'll explain the card choices so you understand the pure power of the deck.


 

Totemic Might - Such a large buff! This is a good card to include, because it means that all the totems you summon from your Tuskarr Totemic will have 4 Health, which makes it a 3 mana 3/6! I can't imagine a more OP version of the card.

Abusive Sergeant - The most important buff to this deck, Abusive Sergeant now works with Hobgoblin! This is a major buff, and I think Blizzard is taking a risk making it but it might work out.

Argent Squire - Hobgoblin boys.

Leper Gnome - This was buffed a while ago, but the deck still wasn't quite there. Now we can see the true reason for the buff, and we'll finally see this underused card get some play!

Rockbiter Weapon - This card was nerfed slightly, but it's understandable given how many buffs they gave Shaman. Wouldn't want it being too OP and making up more than 20% of the meta or something!

Sir Finley Mrrgglton - This is your lategame card - once you've gotten out all your buff totems, you can switch your Hero Power and start pinging face, or even healing yourself! Insane.

Spirit Claws - A 1 mana 3/3 weapon is just too good! I wasn't sure about a 3/3 weapon with no card text, but Shamans did need the buff at the time.

Tunnel Trogg - With the buff from Hobgoblin, this guy becomes a monster. It's so good in fact that you can now get rid of all those terrible Overload cards like Totem Golem and Flamewreathed Facelss that locked your mana, since it doesn't need those buffs anymore!

Bloodmage Thalnos - Card draw and a cool Legendary art AND a Hobgoblin buff? Amazing!

Jeweled Scarab - Hobgoblinerino and you get to look for more Tuskarr Totemics! Totem value.

Lance Carrier - This card has always been superior to Abusive Sergeant, but now you can run them in the same deck!

Master Swordsmith - Not only does he get Hobgoblin buffs, but he also buffs your other guys! No wonder he's a staple card.

Novice Engineer - Card draw to go with Thalnos, since Blizzard is mean and only lets you use one of him.

Hobgoblin - This card's alright, I guess.

Tuskarr Totemic - Gotta keep churning out those totems. I'm amazed that nobody saw how good this card was, but I guess it's taken all these amazing buffs for it to show up in competitive. Didn't even know it existed, can you believe!

Wicked Witchdoctor - This one is obviously better than Tuskarr, since you get more than one Totem from her. A perfect choice.

Yogg-Saron, Hope's End - This is such a good buff for Yogg. Now that he stops casting spells when he leaves the board, there's no need to cast more than 2 or 3 spells anyway, so he can go in any deck for a big finisher! Combos great with our Totemic Mights.


If you're playing in Standard, until Blizzard replies to my e-mails, letters and reddit posts about moving Hobgoblin to the Basic set where he belongs, substitute in two Wisps to have a good card to fill out any mana curve.
