I've always loved the idea of crusher shaman, but I've never had the Shaman cards to play it with....until now!  After playing quite a bit of wild control Shaman, I finally caved and crafted some earth elementals which is a huge key to making Crusher Shaman work.  The current list you see should work incredibly well against jade druid and has the powerful taunts, healing, and AOE to deal with swarm decks.  The deck is also pretty flexible so this list will change with time. 

So, I've been playing this deck quite a bit and I love it!  Black Knight usage, while still fairly high for a tech card, seems to have gone down in my more recent games and it makes for much more powerful swing turns.  I've also seen very few Miracle Rogues which helps get rid of one of the worst matchups for the deck.  All of these factors have real helped this deck shine.  I can't speak for the whole ladder though, so if you happen to see these techs, decks or any polymorph effect regularly for whatever reason, this deck may not be as effective for you. 

I also have one version that leans a bit more anti aggro for the end of the season Pirate Warrior/aggro druid push that always seems to happen that just loses a few of the bigger pieces (-1 fire elemental, -1 snowfury giant) in order to add in 2 doomsayers.  These doomsayers help you get to your big taunts in these matchups and help you snowball certain turns a bit easier. I got rid of a snowfury giant because of the slow nature of the card, but I think it is still one of the better cards in the deck against jade.  If you face these decks and jade, +1 doomsayer and -1 fire elemental can also work really well. 

I will likely be attempting my first in depth guide for the deck the following season.  Since a lot of this season was spent experimenting, I don't feel like I have a good enough grasp of every matchup to make the full mulligan guide or to post matchup stats, but hopefully after another season, this will be easy enough.  If anyone in the community gives this deck a try, please feel free to share your experiences.  Wish me luck. 

 Update 1.1: Removed curator package.  It was too clunky and burrloc wasn't as impactful as I would have liked.  Primordial drake is still quite solid though so I kept the one copy.  -1 Curator, -2 burrloc  

Update 1.2: Draw was an issue.  Relying on spirit echo for draw wasn't working too well, so I cut 1 spirit echo and added in some more reliable draw.  -1 spirit echo, +2 mana tide totem +1 Bloodmage Thalnos

Update 1.3: Drakari Defender wasn't as good as I had hoped.  -1 Drakari defender +2 mana tide totem.

Update 2.1: Fire Elemental helps us put pressure on decks like Jade Druid a bit more easily and we don't particularly like to drake away our totems in a lot of matchups.  -1 primordial drake +1 Fire Elemental

Anyway, feel free to try to fix any changes, I will be updating as needed.
