Dear Friends!
Thank you for upvoting our deck.
Both me (Ashley) and healbot got a Legend EU with this deck.
Prove.
Let's talk about playing this Evolve Shaman by our point of view.
We started to play this deck from Rank 5 and higher.
We don't know how it works below Rank 5. You can tell us.
First of all.
When we published this Shaman there were a lot of other Shamans (Aggro or Midrange), but we never seen Evolve among them.
So, this deck was really unexpectable.
Last few days we saw some famous streamers, who played same (almost same) deck.
But there are still a lot of opponents, who doesn't know about this Evolve Combo.
General Information.
The main card of this deck is Evolve. Evolve transforms your minions to random that costs one more mana. There were some decks with Evolve, most popular of them were with Barnes or Pantry Spider. But there were a lot of random and weak minions, so we forgot Evolve Shamans until Mean Streets of Gadgetzan was released.
Now the key Combo of our deck is Doppelgangster + Evolve. After this we have three 6th drops on the board. There are 68 minions that cost 6 mana. Most of them are strong, and just 3 are weak: Big-Time Racketeer, Corrupted Seer and Moat Lurker.
So we have 65 of 68 good drops. It’s about 96%.
9 of them are Taunts, 2 of them with a charge.
Sounds nice.
Replacements.
We tried several decks of Shaman, and stopped at Midrange Shaman without Jade, but with 2 copies of Jinyu Waterspeaker, because of his great stats and healing skill. Also we have Mass Removals, Hexes and Taunts.
This deck has 29 constant cards and one slot for additional WinCon.
We tried Bloodlust, Brann Bronzebeard and Earth Elemental. Maybe White Eyes will be good too.
But the last version is with Devolve. It is really unexpectable card for opponent. It clears all Deathrattles, Draws, Taunts and other unpleasant minions.
Devolve is your 5th AoE, because of my luck just 4 is not enough for me. Kappa.
Bloodlust and Brann Bronzebeard are good versus Control Decks (Reno, Taunt etc.)
Earth Elemental is good versus Aggro (Pirate) Decks.
Statistics.
We played more than 250 games with overall Win Rate 55%, but the latest version with Devolve has a score 32-22 with total superiority vs Warriors 10-2.
It is hard to play vs Druids 2-4 and Warlocks 6-9.
Priests 3-3, Rogues 9-8.
How to play?
Aggro decks. (Warrior, Rogue, Shaman).
When we see three these classes, we thought that it is a Pirate Aggro Deck.
Mulligan.
Tunnel Trogg, Totem Golem, Spirit Claws and Lightning Bolt.
Also we advice you to keep Hex for Frothing Berserker, Edwin VanCleef and Flamewreathed Faceless.
Maelstrom Portal is also useful to stop starting aggression.
Strategy.
Remove threats, make good trades, control the board. Always try to plan: what you will play next turn. Be careful of Overload. Beware of "OMG WTF Face Burst".
Control or Reno decks. (Warlocks, Mages, Priest or Druids).
Warlocks and Mages have a lot of AOE, so our key is to find Combo as soon as possible.
Priests and Druids have real big problems with Combo.
Mulligan.
Tunnel Trogg, Totem Golem - are good in any Matchup.
Mana Tide Totem we need maximum draw.
Doppelgangster, Evolve with a coin.
Tips.
Use your removals with maximum vlaue. You have 12 additional health in your deck. Sometimes you need to endure more damage, but then clear more opponent's minions. (Same as Control Warrior).
Play Tempo Doppelgangster in aggro or tempo matchups.
Before playing Hex try to imagine: can your opponent play better targets for it in couple of turns.
So, that's it. Maybe we forgot something. We will answer your questions and will update or fix our description.
Excuse me for my English.
With best regards,
Ashley and hea1bot.

I don't think a 4/4 six drop is good, also any 6 drop with 3 health is bad as well, but this deck is pretty good! I went 13-3 from rank 9 to 5 and never lost to a aggro warrior.
I had a ton of fun playing this deck :D a ton of board clear to prepare for the doppelgangsters+ evolve combo! The deck is actually quite viable which is awesome. I made a video showcasing the deck which i hope you guys enjoy !!
Got a Corrupted Seer /and/ the Moat Lurker with my Evolve/Doppleganger combo on my first run through. Still won though.
Can't pass rank 13. This is sh**.
graz!
I just beat 2 Renolocks in a row. One couldn't reno himself, the other Reno'ed but I had 34 damage on table.
It's really fun to devolve a board with 3 taunts haha, very nice deck
awesome deck!
This deck is shredding the lower ranks for me. Haven't played much ranked yet this month so I decided to give this deck a test swing for you, and I've run from 18 to 11 in just a few hours.
love this deck i just replave the devolve by bloodlust its insane
a question here, a replace for Thalnos its the only card I dont have at this moment I was wondering if the kobold may work
THe same for me... I know its most of "basics" cards to have (since its classic but still)
I run a similar deck and I ran Kobold too instead of Thalnos. I caved and crafted Thalnos, which I love a lot more, since the card draw is great. Thalnos is a combination between Kobold and Loot hoarder. The draw makes it so much better as a one turn card to buff your spirit claws or removal. That being said: yeah, you can totally swap it out. That one card draw is not crucial to win, while that spell damage is great in times of need. (Instead of rolling a die and get a 25% chance)
first time ever playing this deck and my very first evolve was big time racketeer, moat lurker and auctioneer.... fml
I was a bit apprehensive about this deck.. I needed to spend 300 dust to make it. This deck is so much fun!! now, it has a so so win rate but was worth the dust to make it. Thanks :D
This deck is crazy, thx u so much. its 100% wr atm http://imgur.com/a/SlXkn
Ok, we have 3 trashs, and 2 came in my evolve, seems fine

You can win Jackpot for sure.
lul)
I tried the Evolve Shaman over the last couple of days as well. While the winrate was slightly positiv (55% if I remember correctly), the normal Midrange Shaman is given me better results here. When the deck is working it is really crushing, but that is way more inconsistent than just going for a "normal" midrange version. At least I finished the golden Shaman hero while testing =)
