So I used this deck to reach Legend last season. Really strong in this meta and can beat aggro and outvalue control.
Edit:
OMG I did not expect this to be so popular! Thank you all so much for your support. Thank you for all your kind words, and for commenting. Thank you for your questions, and for your videos. People have even added me ingame to chat with me! Again thank you all so much for the support, it has been amazing!
Mulligan:
So a lot of people look for the Mulligan when they see a deck. Mulligan is a very important skill in Hearthstone and something everyone should focus on. Often try to hard mulligan for the cards you need. Here are some of the cards you should be looking for.
Almost always try to get Fire Fly and Jade Claws. I generally keep Flametongue Totem to keep my opponent from having the early board get out of hand. Generally I throw everything else away.
Maelstrom Portal is good against Pirate Warrior, but you never know if you face Taunt or Pirates. (A good tips: If they hover over their right most card it's generally Pirate Warrior. Taunt Warrior will keep their quest, hence not having a reason to throw it away). I usually don't like keeping Lightning Storm against anything other than Hunter, since Murloc deck often buff their minions higher than 3 health.
Mana Tide Totem can be good against slower deck if you have a playable one and two drop. The same applies to Stonehill Defender, atlhough you can keep this against aggro if you have the one and two drop.
In short word: Always keep Fire Fly and Jade Claws. Generally keep Flametongue Totem. I don't like keeping AOE even against aggro since a lot of the minions have more three or more attack. If you know it is Pirate Warrior it is okay to keep Maelstrom Portal
Key Cards:
This deck has a lot of ways to win (will discuss that later), but here are the key cards/combos.
Doppelgangster + Evolve: This is the main reason I wanted to make this deck. Don't really feel like I need to explain why this is insane. This has just won me games at turn 6.
Stonehill Defender: In my opinion one of the best cards from Journey to Un'goro. Helps you survive against aggro, and gives that value against Control. I won a game against the most greedy Priest deck with a lot of help from this card. Just look at the cards it can discover: Al'Akir the Windlord, Thing from Below, White Eyes and even Stonehill Defender. In some cases Hot Spring Guardian can even be a savior. Also it has synergy with Flametongue Totem against Aggro.
Spirit Echo: This card is INSANE! Can give you back a free Thing from Below, another Aya Blackpaw and Stonehill Defender. This card makes me win against greedy control decks if I can hit good targets. I love it so much that I have considered putting in one more.
Other card choices:
Fire Fly: One of my favorite cards in the whole games. Such a balanced one drop, yet it is used in almost all decks. Early synergy with Flametongue Totem.
Removals: Maelstrom Portal and Lightning storm speaks to itself. They are insane. Hex is also really strong, but know what to use it for. Insanely good against Tirion Fordring and Savannah Highmane. Some of you might be surprised by the inclusion of two Volcanos, but I love them! Basically says remove all your opponents minions(as long as they don't have Deathrattle). Makes you stay alive and do one of your combos. I have won a game by removing my opponent's minions and then played a free Thing from Below combined with Doppelgangster, The Coin and Evolve.
Jade Package: The package isn't big, but it can win games. Has synergy with Evolve. I found it to good to not include.
Cards that didn't make the cut (not finished):
Bloodmage Thalnos: Would be really strong, but I simply didn't find the spot for it. We get spell damage from the Hero Power, but this is one of the cards that I would consider swapping in.
Bloodlust: Is just a dead card most of the time. Sometimes makes you kill your opponent one turn faster, but not worth it. I would not recommend it.
Possible replacements (will add more):
- Master of Evolution -> + Jinyu Waterspeaker if you face a lot of aggro (suggested by Robotically)

I only play on the Asia server, so it's my first time ever :) I'm a student, so I can't really commit myself to Hearthstone, but this deck got me to legend with a fantastic winrate and allowed me to reach legend without spending too much time. Guess it really suited my playstyle XD
Thanks for the deck. I had to use the last of my dust to craft it, but I am not disappointed at all. I had the win 3 games with Shaman quest and went 3-0 (2 games against Quest Rogue and 1 against Quest Warrior).

Taking a hint from Priest, I have sided in one Earth Shock and debating on a second possibly. It is like running a 1-cost Hex in most cases, completely shuts down so many value cards like Scavenging Hyena to Lyra the Sunshard to Tirion Fordring
Really Nice deck..with a lot of comebacks!!!...for example...I survive 2 brawls with my side full of cards against a taunt warrior, Survive 2 equalitys and 1 consecration from a pally and against all this removals the deck finally wins...All my Love to Spirit Echo (play 4 things from below in 2 consecutive turns its quality of life xd, one of the best cards in hearthstone
i have np with q rogue at all, always try to control the board early, deal dmg as much and as fast as u can to his face and try to hinder him from activating the quest early and keep hex in ur hand its a good counter against igneous elemental
Great deck, I absolutely love playing this!!!
I've always wanted an Evolve Shaman to work and this is the best I've seen so far. I've taken this deck from 15->8 with only a few losses. I'm currently subbing two Jinyu Waterspeaker instead of two Master of Evolution as I think that extra bit of health can be a lifesaver. Also subbed one Devolve instead of one Volcano.
The Doppelgangster + Evolve works great, but you can also use Evolve pretty early with Fire Fly, Jade Claws and a basic totem (and coin) to get a huge early tempo swing. I've had some turn 4-5 concedes with that tactic.
These are essential substitutions in this meta. There's been countless times too where I've just had two volcanoes sitting in my hand all game long and lost because of it.
Tnx for the idea, will try your combo, ahahah
I made a few minor trades with this deck, but have been doing very well with it. Hope to see it still work up into the single digits of the ladder.
Master of Evolution -> + Jinyu Waterspeaker if you face a lot of aggro (suggested by Robotically). Also maybe one Devolve instead of one Volcano.
horrible deck, prefermine evolve shaman
Instead of posting an unconstructive comment and saying that the deck sucks, you might say why. Why is your deck better? Or did you make this comment just to promote your own deck
Really dig this deck man, added a few more elementals and posted a variation. 5-1 right now versus a few control priest and freeze mage:

Which one is strongest? Evovle C'Thun Shaman or Evolve Jade Shaman?
Haven't tried the c'thun version, but I think the jade package has much better synergy, and it is Win Condition in it self
After playing now around 50 Games with it! I became familiar with it! I ended up swapping the spirit echo for Bloodlust because it won me more games than echo! Especially against quest Warrior and Mage! Quest rogue is very beatable with it! Swapped also one Mana Tide Totem against huntard which is imo the worst matchup 1-7 so far! There might be a jinyu gold for a Master of Evo! But the Master is sooo good on curve with a body on the board which can't be overlooked AND it doesn't disrupt your curve with overload! At the first games I made the mistake to hold him to evolve a bigger minion! But that rarely happened because the minion got shitted beforehand! Just play the yeti on curve even if you have only a Totem out or a shitty 1/1 Golem or a damaged minion like the 1/4 taunt wich would be the best case here!
And for god sake attack first before you evolve! Made this mistake over and over again cause the minions evolved are under summoning sickness!
I became a lover of this deck and i will grind with it to the golden Shaman
Thank you for your view on the deck and how it has been for you :D
Very glad that I made you find a deck you loved!
I haven't made the switch yet, but literally played one game and said, "This deck needs Bloodlust." Might try - 1 Master of Evolution or Volcano for it.
