Hi,
I'm Danny and is a regular Legend player, hitting Legend every season. With the rise and dominance of Mid range Shaman, I wanted to create a deck to counter it instead of joining the dark side. Shaman doesn't have much counters and even freeze mage is only 5% favored against it. To counter Shaman, you really have to tech in cards against them. I wanted to create a deck that's good against shaman and still holds a good to fair win rate against other decks. I have played around with other classes but finalize on C'thun warrior with two Tech cards, Revenge and Baron Geddon. There's another tech card worth considering which is Harrison Jones but I can talk more about it later.
My stats were 18-3 hitting Legend with two losses where one game was due to unlucky draws and another to unlucky Rng. I believe i should've won those two games, leading to an even higher win rate. I have replays for all my games so I'll try to post some or all later if there's enough interest.
I entered Legend at rank 381 as shown below.

Last two games were against same opponent back to back
Use and time your board clears carefully as Shamans can refill the board the next turn very easily. I also used my health as a resource as Shamans don't have the burst they used to.
Replays at Legend Rank
1) Against Maly Druid - https://hsreplay.net/replay/s5PP6sRnSgouQAgV2nQEML
- He did not know what to do against me and forced to concede.
2) Against Shaman - uploaded Oct. 22 - https://hsreplay.net/replay/rkVZGtHnBVPzA9MvJitkUS
3) Against Dragon Priest - https://hsreplay.net/replay/j4zWceeBqhPRrYXdMdFc8E
4) Control Priest - https://hsreplay.net/replay/39t9GXAQGAY5kBxXKoiipY
- Toughest match so far in Legend. Not knowing what type of cards he's running, and his sylvannas surviving two brawls gave little hope in winning. Watch and analyze the plays in the last 15 turns. I recommend pausing before I make my plays and see if you'll do the same. Timing when to play the cards was very critical here.
5) Tempo Mage - Surviving 6 fireballs and more
6) Lost to Maly Druid but look at his start with innervate and ramp.
7) Lost to Totemic Might Shaman - Apparently revenge and baron geddon are not good against 4 health totems.
8) Shaman
9) More Shaman - Where playing aggressive shaman doesn't pay off.

Strategy and Mulligan
Shaman -
A) Fiery War Axe
B) Disciple of C'thun, Ravaging Ghoul. Keep 1 without the coin. Both if you have the coin or have War Axe.
C) Keep Slam if you have any of the above cards.
With these cards, you should be able to challenge any early game cards shaman throws at you.
Control early threats from Shaman and prevent them from snowballing. Do not waste premium removals (Shield slam & Exe) on weak minions unless it provides a huge tempo swing. I usually use shield slam & Execute only on thing from belows, fire elementals, or thunderbluffs. Thing from below and Fire ele can be dealt without premium removals since they have 5 health BUT Thunderbluff is more difficult. I usually save one premium removal in hand for thunderbluff. Use your AOE and boar clears wisely. Don't use them on 3 or 4 minions/totems that are not causing much threat. If you are not close to dying, taking 4-5 damage from their minions/totems is fine. Bait out their big guys.
The faster(aggressive) they play, the better my odds in winning because they play into the board clears. They are more dangerous when they slow play and into fatigue.
Against aggro - Control their early flood of minions with removal and aoes. They will run out of resources and you win.
Against control- play the fatigue war, armor up and outlast outlast them. Be conservative with your C'thun against priest/warrior. Usually, don't play it unless you can lethal them or you need to prevent their lethal on board.
Against CW - Play the fatigue game. don't draw cards. save harrison for gorehowl only. Sometimes i don't even play harrison to minimize the one draw. Play C'thun for final blow (when both players are in fatigue and you're c'thun + their next fatigue damage will kill them).
Difficult Match ups
Midrange Hunter and Control Warrior.
Against Control Warrior, you will need to sub in Harrison for their gorehowl and maybe doomcaller. This will make the deck weak against other archetypes (shamans) so I don't recommend it unless you are facing a lot of warrior.
Midrange Hunter has always been a bad match up for Control warriors. At least there's only one call of the wild these days.
Substitutions
Revenge or Barron Geddon can be subbed by Harrison Jones
If you have questions/comments, write it below and I'll try to answer them.
With enough likes or +
- I'll create a more thorough discussion about playing the deck and against classes.
- Post more replays
- Discussion about tech cards
- Video game play or discussion
Also, as you noticed, this is not a super unique deck list as C'Thun warrior have been around.
Thanks for stopping by.

I have 100% win rate against Shamans but 86% overall. Also played the deck at Legend rank and haven't been defeated yet. :)
I wouldn't waste dust on baron geddon unless you have him already in your collection. I would sub in a Harrison Jones.
I see Thanks:)
The deck looks good! :)
Thanks.
can we get a mulligan?
I posted a mulligan against Shamans in post #15, above. I have create a mulligan for other classes later if there's enough interest.
looks solid! I will try that version. I'm really sad that there is no new C'thun cards so I will play him as long he is viable
I don't think they will add any more C'thun buff cards.
Hi. No place for Doomcaller
Doomcaller is against a control meta and it is not needed right now against shaman, mid range decks and aggro decks.
any tips against resurrect priest? have been seeing a lot of those lately
Haven't played against one since the beginning of the season. But i would go for the fatigue game or be able to burst them with your C'thun.
Have your like good man. Just want to point out I'm 5-5 with this deck, it does crushes midrange shaman but I'm seeing a lot of other decks at rank 5. Freeze mage, malygos druid, resurect priest, control warrior. It's good against agro but it's a 50/50 versus most control decks.
Hi. Yes, the deck is teched against aggro and midrange shaman. Freeze mage should be an easy win, just try to armor up every turn. I'm 2 or 3-0 against freeze mage. One game, my opponent conceded on turn 3 after I armor up on turn 2 and shield block on turn 3. Another freeze mage opponent wanted to go the distant. I have 60 life and he maxed combo me for something like thirty something damage, then he concedes.
I haven't had much experience against maly druid, but it really depends on their skill level. I posted a replay above at legend rank where my opponent didn't know what to do against me and conceded after playing his maly combo.
My deck should not win against control warriors who play gore howl, although I have beaten them also due to their misplays.
If you want to beat control warrior, sub in harrison jones or doom caller in this deck.
I haven't played against a resurrect priest so no comment.
Have fun :)
