For Doomhammer!

This deck is designed to play like those bloodlust combo decks (one of the most underrated/least explored concept in my opinion), while only utilizing basic cards. It won't win any major games, but should give you an edge up till rank 15-ish, depending on your skill level and knowledge.

The idea behind this deck is to use Bloodlust on turn 5 (or turn 7 with Windfury), to finish off your opponent in burst mode with style. People usually compare Bloodlust with Savage Roar due to its similar nature and functionality. Savage Roar may be the better option, since it's cheaper to play it out (therefore easier to combo with other cards), and also giving your hero +2 attack, but you get more potential damage if your board has more than 3 minions (can be easily achieved with Totemic Call) with Bloodlust, as it gives +9/+12/+15/+18/+21 attack across the board compared to Savage Roar giving +8/+10/+12/+14/+16 attack across the board. The burst damage is further amplified on turn 7 when combo-ed with Windfury.

Not only that, but Shamans are known to have nasty spell cards such as Hex, Earth Shock, Forked Lightning, Lightning Bolt and Lightning Storm, which your opponent will need to play around, giving you time to set up the board for that stylish ending.

Once again, do keep in mind that this is a basic deck. Improvements are listed below (in the future) if you wanna further improve this deck, or simply look up other bloodlust decks for better results.

Deck Breakdown:
=====

Murloc Tidehunter
Razorfen Hunter
Dragonling Mechanic
For the extra "token" minion, and maintaining that board advantage and setting up for the finisher.

 

Raid Leader
Shattered Sun Cleric
Flametongue Totem
Bloodlust
Windfury
For that extra buff/burst damage. Can also be used to regain board control/effective trades if necessary.

 

Frostwolf Warlord
Synergize well with massive boards.

 

Novice Engineer
For that extra draw power, making the deck more consistent.

Acidic Swamp Ooze
Anti-weapon, making sure your totems and tokens stays alive longer.

Fire Elemental
Ancestral Healing
Hex
Rockbiter Weapon
For board control.

=====
Strategy:
=====

Always mulligan for Rockbiter Weapon, Murloc Tidehunter and Razorfen Hunter. Rockbiter Weapon makes sure you can have early board removal and control, and the latter two cards give you that board advantage. If you end up not having any of these cards, Totemic Call is always another good option.

Make sure you swarm the board and prepare for turn 5 Bloodlust. The more you got on your board, the better value you get out of Bloodlust. If you don't have the set pieces, keep stalling until you get a chance to execute the combo. Try not to use Bloodlust when you have less than 3 minions on your side (of course unless its lethal), and don't use it just to trade out of desperation, because you will not only need to rebuild board presence, you also need to draw that only remaining Bloodlust in your deck.

Always try to maintain board control, while keeping your minions alive. Trading is essential here, as you will most likely need to stall for top decking Bloodlust.

Remember, Bloodlust ain't your only finisher. Windfury could potentially end your opponent's life too, so if it ends up being that way, let it happen.

As above.

 

Well, here's the deck. If you want to further improve the deck, I suggest looking up some of the more popular bloodlust decks out there. I tried to keep it relatively cheap and in-budget, so you guys can try getting the feel of it, before deciding whether or not the "Bloodlust combo wombo" is your style of gameplay =)

Anyways, play smart, and have fun~
