UPDATE: Today on stream, I had an incredible winrate with the deck at legend. Starting at rank 1500 I climb almost back up to 200. Beginning the stream by going 7-0. Here is the link to the VOD if you would like to watch any of it. : https://www.twitch.tv/videos/117709072 (You may have to copy and past the link into your browser, I can't always get links to work properly on here).
I'll be honest, I'm releasing this deck guide almost a whole week later than I originally wanted to. For a variety of reasons I've been held back, but the video is finished and here is my deck guide.
I'll do the usual stuff, if you want stats like the guide, leave a friendly comment and assuming it gets attention I'll expand even further, mulligans; alternate versions etc etc
otherwise, this has taken a damn long time, I hope it's worth it- please enjoy my video guide for the deck.
First part of the video explains why wicked witchdoctor, then I go through card choices- explaining my reasoning for them. Finally I talk strategy while showing some gameplay I recorded at legend.
Comments/ likes on both hearthpwn and YouTube are GREATLY appreciated. I'd love to spend more time on deck guides like this, so so if you like it, let me know, and if there's anything you don't like about it- let me know!
NB: Shaman is a broken class right now. It is able to flourish as Aggro, midrange, control AND combo. Blizzard, please fix.
If you'd like to watch me play this deck live, come and check out my stream: http://Twitch.tv/falconepunch55
I'm playing the deck a lot right now on stream, and if you ever tune in and I'm not playing it but you want to see, just ask in chat :)
Also follow me on twitter for more decklists, content like this and general hearthstone fun. I'm a Hearthstone caster, so I keep up to date with the scene. Http://Twitter.com/falconepunch55
Lastly thanks for taking the time to read, and I really hope you found the video interesting. One final plea, I know how easy it is to look at guides and videos like this and click off without pressing the like button, but I can't stress enough how much they help. I want to make more stuff like this, but it's incredibly time consuming, and likes/ comments just go to prove it was time well spent!
From level 13 to 5 in 2 days, 29 wins 12 looses, with exactly this deck with no changes! Ty for the deck
Really can't win with this deck.
Totem are cleared away too easy
Would be nice if there would be a muligan scene! Deck is super fu n though!
Any replacements for Spirit Claws following the nerf? Or just leave it in?
This. I swapped them out and loved it.
Two out of three opponents disapprove. Thanks for the nice deck.
+1 Thunder Bluff Valiant +1 Barnes
-1 Azure Drake -1 Burgly Bully
Ok srsly... i just wanted some new deck on ladder (didnt played from start of february) and after long long time i've decided to pick some shaman...i found this deck and when i saw it i thought: "hmm looks funny, well, lets test it but it cant work..."
- 8-0 so far, felt in love with this deck, yep i belive some ppl are loosing with this deck bcs they dont know how to play it, its not easy deck with many game-breaking decisions (develop board and trade vs go face etc...) but so far i feel its perfetct. I was afraid of aggros on low lvls of ranked play so i went - 1 bloodlust (i hate that card from the very moment it appeared in HS beta :D ) and +1 jin. waterspeaker and results: i have never killed opp with bloodlust, maybe in some games it could speed my kill but as I said, so far 8-0 so i was able to win without it BUT as well i have never needed waterspeaker so i can't rly give you result if its good or bad idea to swap it :D Also i was rly rly afraid of Jade druid matchups but i met 3 or 4 and it were easier matchups - just start aggro, then develop board for a whie and after that, just go face and jade has no chance
result: Thx for deck mate, +1 and sorry for my english, i have kinda alot of vine in my veins :)
It has quite the learning curve, but once you learn to play smart around board clears, this deck is unreal. I've out-damaged pirate warriors and out-valued dragon priests. Brilliant, brilliant deck.
Burgly Bully
so good card
Think it's better to use Totemic Might then trogg
i trade -1trog + totemic might and - 1 trogg +1 ooze
Kind of new semi-free-to-play new player. I built a variant of this deck because i had almost all the cards. I had to craft thunder bluff valiant and the primal fusions. I don't know what i am doing wrong with it. I am currently 0-6 are the cards I am missing that critical, or am i just playing it wrong? I made it above rank 15 the last 3 seasons of the 4 i have played in, but this season i have burly cracked 19 and currently am stuck at 0-star-20.
Could anyone recommend substitutions currently I don't have blood mage thalnos or burgly bully, I also only have 1 copy of mana tide and lightning storm. I have been using 2 azure drakes, a gadgetzan auctioneer, a flamewreath, and an extra hex.
THanks for any TIps
All depends of match up, and lucky.
Last season i reach rank 13 with this deck, with 6-0 wins, but at the start of this new one I get 2-6 and stop 2 days my play with this deck to try others, yesterday I play again and get 6-1 to reach lvl 17
Same as you dont have Bulgry bully, so i reaplace it with WindUp-burgle bot to try to get more cards on late game, and to give the opponent an target for hard damage, you should keep alive Wiked Witchdoctor so, you give this target and your opponent will try to kill it fast so you don´t get cards.
Against pirates deck, I try to keep on my hand always Ligthining Storm, I usually wait until he have 3 low minions :P so you have to take some damage before make your move, keep in mind, you will get some damage, but you have to plan you move wise, totem to improve the damage on the Lightining storm is important.
Blood mage is hard to replace, most of the people recomend Azure Drake,
And you should replace Feral Spirit and Hex with 2 Devolve, that will give you some control against Dragons, is a very useful tool when your enemy put minions with Taunt, you devolve and if your are lucky your enemy may get some not so good minion and you avoid waste damage on kill the Taunt.
For my is more useful 2 Devolve than hex and feral. You can use it before lighting storm, or to get more totems, and is cheap to cast.
Patience and practice, are the best tool to win.
Good luck I hope this tips helps you a little
Ok so i read some of the posts in here yesterday, and i dumped Gadgetzan Auctioneer, and the Flamewreathed Faceless. I put in Earth Shock and Barnes. I also watched falcon stream it a bit and it really helped. I have played about 15 games and have a %65 win rate. I have not lost to druid and always lose to Warlock, I am kind of 50/50 against the other classes right now, but pretty good against warrior and other shaman. I don't have devolve, just gonna add it to the crafting list. It just takes a bit of practice. I had to learn that sometimes the best thing to do is drop a totem and pass the turn. All in all really dope deck, AND CHEAP!
Thanks man
Your wellcome, take your time, enjoy the deck, and practice, if you get a good replaces idea for card, that you get useful post it here, so we all can get new ideas to improve this deck .
Regards and best luck climbing to top
Haha, almost in the same situation as you. Paid for the last expansion and a lot of classic packs and recently started playing this deck with the things that I have. I'm learning how to play hearthstone again basicly, I just used to play miracle rogue and nothing more (even tho that i have played this game since beta but just recently started to get really into it)
3/12 right now, but getting a lots of fun
You got super lucky to get legendary with this deck. It is good, but not that good. I hit 16 and couldn't win anymore games. 1 aoe just cripples this deck.
you might not be playing it right, I made it all the way to rank 12 (from 20) without losing even once. or maybe you just got some bad matches, for the first week or so in a new season you usually get high-ranked legend players and streamers trying to climb back atop their golden thrones and those guys are crazy powerful.
