Play-style: Mid-range
The game style of this deck has a bit similarity on Dragon Priest. Curving our minion into play and getting value of elemental's battlecry is the key in winning from early to late game. Fire Plume Harbinger is needed in our opening hand + other elemental minions in order to pressure our opponent early game. Keep in mind that we need to play elemental minions each turn to synergize other elemental's battlecry(Servant of Kalimos, Blazecaller, Stone Sentinel, Kalimos, Primal Lord). There might be instances that we draw out of curve and making things awkward/bad but that's where Fire Fly and Igneous Elemental value kicks in, keep us throwing those small elementals, to play our big elementals in the next turn (also Fire Fly andIgneous Elemental token cards are viable during overload phase).
Tools:
Stormforged Axe - help trade (3times).
Devolve/Hex - Good counter for Deathrattle decks (rip effect), Aggro decks (easy AoE board clear), Buff decks (removes buffs), Murloc decks (counters their synergy), and Jades? (pray for RNG).
Maelstrom Portal/Lightning Storm - AoE *PogChamp
Mana Tide Totem/Bloodmage Thalnos - Draws
Hot Spring Guardian - Taunt + heal = ♥
Hmm... this is interesting! My only point is i don't like Fire Plume Phoenix, unless you can reduce his cost with Fire Plume Harbinger. I totally agree with Stormforged Axe, i think it will serve a lot, specialy againt Quest Hunter.
I will play something like this, with more heal and more mana cost reduction: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/753543-kalimos-elemental-shaman#related:comments
I really like the deck but I feel that 1x Devolve 2x Hex will probably be better than vice versa. In addition, Fire Plume Harbinger is simply not a worthwhile card.
My take on it (probably lacking card draw)
Air Elemental and Glacial Shard certainly deserve spots, with so few 1-drops. The first card I'd drop is Stormforged Axe.
Air elemental is trash. Seriously it effects a single mage hero power.
Interesting greedier take on the lists ive been seeing. Been legend a few times with shaman (mid and nzoth) and id be really interesting to discuss some of the card choices with you. Heres my initial take on a pure ele deck and a jade/ele hybrid similar to trumps theorycraft (but with less jades). Both are noteably more tempo oriented than yours but of course its way too early to say which style will probably be superior.
hyrbid
pure ele
As the official best rank 26 player in Hearthstone, I rank this deck a solid 5/7.
Not sure I would give it a perfect score myself, but it's close
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
I like the idea of a midrange deck, seems overall pretty good. I still disagree on the card distribution (a lot!).
- 2 Devolve in a midrange deck? We even don't know how the meta is gonna be. I think evolve is gonna be extremly good, but still I think we want to play the aggressor and therefore 1 should be enought.
- Flametongue: Not enought swarm, this deck has way slower start than other meta, which is fine, but we shouldnt play flametongue in this deck imo.
- Maelstrom Portal 2x - depends on the meta. If the meta is very early heave, this deck will see play with more early game, 2 maelstorm and 2 flametongue.
- 2x mana tide in MDR? Don't think so. the curve is very high - not really.
- Overall High curve is way too high for Midrange.
- Finisher? Against all these quests, this is too slow.
How about Al'Akir the Windlord? Seems like he'd be a good fit in this deck.
Would also love having Al'Akir the Windlord. Maybe replace Stone Sentinel or Tol'vir Stoneshaper w/ him since we already got lots of taunts. I was skeptical of having not enough minions on board during early and late game but we will see.
Yep, Al'Akir the Windlord will be better than Stone Sentinel. Maybe replace 1 Igneous Elemental for Flametongue Totem too
No Ozruk?
Ozruk is a bit too slow and we already have enough big minions for late game. I also think adding a single heal that doesnt add overload (not Jinyu Waterspeaker) would help but we have to see if we can get one in this expansion.
Tidal Surge Grants your wish, No overload, and Hero Heal.
Tidal Surge is ok but a bit expansive on mana though. I think Hot Spring Guardian is better cuz it has taunt and its an elemental.
Ozuruk isn't good enough in my opinion. I would cut it.
No Ozurk?
Ozurk will just get removed by some hex or polimorph style of cards, soggoth couldn't be targeted by spells and still saw no play
Obs: Sorry if I misspelled some word
