Hello everyone, here's my take on Totem Shaman. I've added a few versatile cards for flexibility. So far it's been performing pretty well (enough to get win streaks on the first day of this season).
A little bump because the deck is performing great lately. I want to try a few more iterations but it takes time, which I don't have a lot to spend on HS lately so if you are interested, feel free to give it a shot. Plus it proves Shaman can still perform well after the nerf.
That deck isn't new though.. it's tier 2 in tempo storm.
To the OP's credit, his list is slightly different than the common netdecks. So is my totem shaman, with wihch I am having a good run, also.
If you make a deck of a specific achetype, 95%+ of the cards are going to be the same as every other deck of that archetype. And... ? And nothing, just that.
Grazts on the success, Nihls, may you have continued good luck!
Thanks for the kind words WanYao. I never go on tempo storm's website to be honest ^^'
You make a good point, the card pool is so small all "good" decks are bound to kinda look the same. The closest deck to mine on hearthpwn shares 90% of the cards.
@DoubleSummon: Why netdeck when for me 50% of the fun in HS is creating and tweaking a deck? it's a bit offtopic anyway.

Just noted that totemic might has beeing used for a few weeks by now not that the deck in tempo storm is any better.. that's my point should've clarified it..
Just that you seemed surprised that it works but it's actually a successful archtype
Also it's shaman.. shaman is OP AF (just nerfing 2 cards won't stop it.)
Part of the reason why I like wild is the fact that there are barely any decks there sso people don't copy.. BTW.
I'm not surprised it work, I'm surprised it work so well. I created the list when Karazhan was released and never faced anyone using Wicked Witchdoctor in a month.
I've never set foot in Wild. Way too many RNG cards for my little heart to handle haha.
IMO totem carver is worse than frostwolf commander even in a totem deck. For the simple fact that you're not gonna have just totems on the board, anyway.
and i wonder why you use just 1x Primal Fusion in a all-in totemic deck?

Totemcarver is better simply because it's a 4 drop. I don't always play a witchdoctor on turn 4 and I needed an alternative that's decent.
About primal fusion I just don't know where I can fit it in the current iteration. I'll take out the last tuskarr and add another one to try, then i'll try thalnos.
Edit: I've tried two primal fusions and it didn't quite work out as expected. One is okay but two is just too clunky. I had one stuck in my hand for 5 turns and nothing to do with it and it happened a few times. Currently testing -2 troggs - tuskar +1 claw + thalnos and + argent squire. The results are pretty similar to what I achieved before.

I know some one-ofs may look weird but they are always useful. I've wrote a small guide if you want to check it.
Have fun !
