this deck definitely needs cheap draw, otherwise you risk being stuck on big stuff early or bleeding out midgame, when you only got cheap stuff.
at least 2 mana tide totems and probably an acolyte. id probably cut on the lowcost elementals. tar creeper is bad, you either sweep on turn3 or want something that can attack.
thanks man. i mean, his list probably beats this list since in my experience the greedier shaman generally wins in a head to head, but I cant imagine a slow enough meta where that list is overall better. anyways onto the cards,
igneous elemental- youre probably right. I agree its a weak card, if the elemental synergies arent consistent enough without it then full elemental is probably the way to go rather than hybrid jade. Gonna drop that for a tar creeper.
mana tide totem- im really reluctant to cut one of two draw sources in a deck that has so many low value cards like the one drops and flametounges but isnt an aggro deck. I think I would try to keep one copy but maybe this just curves out well enough to not need to draw half the deck to win most games. Probably will keep this in the list until/if it seems underwhelming in practice.
lightning bolt- definitely a lot weaker without drake or tunnel trogg. considering this list can run claws and jade lightning which a pure ele deck cant, maybe its ok to drop them. Honestly when I think about how many pings we have with double fire ele double blazecaller i'll probably start with a 0 bolt list.
storm- until the meta proves me otherwise i'm gonna keep the four aoe package. Perhaps instead of one storm we could try one copy of volcano? Storms a lot less reliable without drake and that could give the deck at least one big comeback mechanism. Probably gonna stick with 2 storm 2 portal though.
shard- certainly agree its a strong card, running two seems low impact but i'm gonna see if it fits with these changes.
tar creeper- I really don't see this card being as meta defining as a lot of people are saying. having 1 attack on offense might be ok for a control deck but it feels really weak in mid shaman. However I can see it being extremely powerful in situations where you have a flametounge down and/or youre protecting your weak early drops. Honestly I just talked myself into it with the flametounge synergy, gonna try to make it fit.
so overall the changes are
-2 bolt, -1 igneous, +1 glacial, +1 tar. seems really good, thanks for the input.
forgot to mention servent. honestly I just think the card is bad and wont see much play outside of some really greedy list. Maybe itll prove otherwise since we dont have a 5 drop but i dont really see it.
yea i can definitely see devolve being a good swap potentially since its so good with maelstrom portal. Im not sure the deck needs the value generators like elise and servant honestly. If the build wants to go slower i think adding more jades is the way to handle it. Yeah im definitely excited to try this and rag warrior out especially.
i ended up cutting flametounge for double jade cheif. Without bloodlust like i added in my pure ele deck I think you dont get enough value out of extra face damage from flametounge and since you have jade claws and jade lightning you dont rely on it as hard to trade up. Also being able to pump jades up to 8/8 seems FAR stronger against slower decks.
