"I'd been struggling all yesterday to try and make a shaman deathrattle deck really work, as in not just be really amazing once in 5 games then blow chunks for the other 4, but have a consistent winrate. It took me a while, but I realized I wasn't truly trying to build a deathrattle deck, so much as I was trying to shove one into a standard shaman deck. Once I'd gotten over that and tossed a few cards it started really coming together. After about 60 games overall, I can now say, it works. It has its bad matchups obviously, but it works."
I'm pretty sure this is the deck Blizzard intended. I'll give it a try when I earn enough gold for the final wing. The "inbetween decks" all stunk, as you say--highly inconsistent.
Going to try this out now. Played vs a deck like this a couple of times today and it's just stupid if they manage to get 2x Thaddius plus then Stalagg or Feugen respawns.
The ladder is full of hunters where I'm at the moment, so this is a pretty weak deck. I will play around with it for a while and make adjustment to the meta.
I've been having trouble with this deck. It's like if I get the combo early I win but otherwise I just can't keep up the board control versus any type of aggro.

That's usually the problem with combo decks. If you don't get your combo, you lose, since the deck relies on it to a great deal.
I've a lot of fun with this deck! I usually am able to wall up pretty well against fast decks, and have a lot of shenanigans during late game. I've had a few games where i end up with 4 Thadius, or draw 3 cards from Loot Horder. It's really fun

Tried it out this morning -- very fun! And highly effective.

It's an interesting deck going full-on with deathrattles... I'm going to try it. Right now though, Priest seems like a bit better fit for the meta.
