Hi

 I usually play fun deck in casual but this season I've decided to play more competitive. My objective is to reach at least rank 10 and why not 5 for the golden epic :)

I use an old deck I created before the format were existing and updated it with LoE, WotoG and Kara cards :

I made Rank 25-14 quite easily so far. 

The main problem is aggro deck (face hunter, mech mage, pala...). If I don't draw my AoE, I'm a bit screwed.

Here my feeling about it so far :

I put Eater of Secrets because I heard there is a lot of Secret pala but I didn't see a lot (2 I think ^^). But it'll maybe come later.

I think 1 Sludge Belcher and Kel'Thuzad could be replace. But Kel'Thuzad + Reincarnate is a nice combo and often put me well in the game. (I don't have Sneed's Old Shredder)

Baron Rivendare could also be replace because so far I have use his ability only once but I really love it :)

I didn't include Piloted Shredder because I don't like it at all (because overused)

Maybe more early game ? (Totem Golem ?)

More removal ? (Earth Shock ? Stormcrack? anoter Crackle ?

Add Elemental Destruction instead Maelstrom Portal or in plus ?

Do you think another draw mechanic would help ? I don't feel like I really need it

Thank you for you feedback (here or directly in the deck ;))

Seems very top heavy. Of course I don't play wild so maybe you can get away with that there. I think it needs more early game/early game removal. I'd say take out the pileted sky golem and fire elemental and add elemental destruction and another two drop. Thalnos? Also maybe switch out the lava burst for a second crackle.

Thank for the answer.

I like these 2 minions so for the moment I replace Baron Rivendare with a Totem Golem (I don't have Bloodmage Thalnos).

If I still struggle against aggro I'll add Elemental Destruction.

The Crackle suggestion is a good one :) I'll try it 

One thing you could think about is Deathlord.

You can get a ton of value out of him via Reincarnate him, and either pulling a small minion out of their deck or having Hex ready for something big. 

Here's the deck I currently run, for reference. I replaced Kel with Ragnaros recently and it worked a lot better, but Kel'Thuzad is still ok if you don't have Rag. Don't worry about eater of secrets for now, you only really see secret pally at rank 10 at the very least. If you don't have doomsayer you can use totem golem, though it's not a true replacement. I highly recommend you make crafting Elemental Destruction a top priority, it's absolutely needed for any control shaman deck. Haunted creeper is also a great 2-drop to have in your deck, and 2 of those along with totem golem could probably serve as a good early game.

Thanks a lot for your answers

I have remove Kel'Thuzad and Mana Tide Totem for Elemental Destruction and Ancestral Knowledge. It looks better like that :)

And yes I was also thinking Deathlord would help a bit. I'll give it a try instead of Eater of Secrets.

Doomsayer would be nice but I don't have it. But I like the Charged Hammer in your deck. I'll try it a bit later.

I went up to rank 13 but then down to 15... (secret pally, OTK freeze mage...) But it's quite fun to play a bit more seriously :)
