Haven't seen enough Shaman in constructed?  Play it in Brawl too!

Mulligan Guide:

Mulligan for Ancient Watcher, Emperor Cobra in all match-ups

Against warlock, mulligan for Hex or Earth Shock

Against aggro or weenies, mulligan for Lightning Storm

General Strategy:
Stall until turn 5 and 6 by taunting Ancient Watcher, using Emperor Cobra to take out priority creatures such as Darkshire Councilman/Baron Rivendare/Brann Bronzebeard, and clearing the board with Lightning Storm. 

Barnes can also help delay the game and fish for deadly minions such as Sylvanas and Ragnaros (18 out of 24 are good results from Barnes).  Hero Power also helps stall the game, as even those turn 4 7/7s must hit your paltry totems to get to you.

Save Hex/Earth Shock for opponents' most dangerous/annoying minions such as Dreadsteed, C'thun, etc. 

If you're going up against a C'thun deck, make sure to save a Hex/Emperor Cobra so you can take it out right away.

At turn 5 and on, you can start to gain tons of value by making favorable trades with Feugan/Stalagg.  That 11/11 will be a taunt.  Sylvanas is perfect in this brawl because you can set up the board to steal your opponent's most prized creatures.  Dr. Boom is very versatile - difficult to get through as a taunt and great for taking out enemy board.

It's quite difficult to out-value this deck, so once you stabilize the board, victory should be yours.

Replacements:Can replace Hex with Earth Shock
