This is the sole deck that I played from rank 5 to legend and despite the low rank i got placed in (it's 1800-ish now) it was quite consistent. Most people brush elemental shaman off as a bad tier 3 deck but there are two cards that have been pretty underrated that made it work for me. Fire plume harbinger which drastically speeds up your curve and lets your echo important minions the turn you play them, and of course, spirit echoes which has been overlooked by deck builders completely.

The skillcap with this particular deck list comes from knowing when to spirit echos your board. There are times where being too greedy with it means you end up with nothing to echo but a bunch of totems, but there are other times where you can't afford to not be greedy with it to not get out valued by stuff like taunt warrior and fucking 3 packs 4 drakanoid op priests (seriously that 5-6 was a mistake). There's also the matter of making sure you don't echo too much stuff or your opponent can burn cards. Despite the deck seeming like it would just be curvestone, I found elemental shaman as an archetype to be very interesting. Knowing when to place your elementals, even messing up your curve to do so felt a lot like the old shaman with the overload managing to plan a few turns ahead. And I mean, shaman is tier 3 rn so you don't need to feel bad for playing it on ladder. Ign 9/10, would reccomend.
