I would consider myself a shaman fanatic. I just got 1000 wins a few hours ago so I'm qualified. The first cards I crafted from KFT were Moorabi and a golden Thrall, Deathseer. I usually play reincarnate shaman, and I run this one list that I've been modifying every expansion since WotOG. Here's the most recent variation:
As it turns out, despite all common sense, Thrall, Deathseer is really good in N'zoth shaman. I had to add in a couple more synergistic minions, mainly Thing from Below, but it's been working really well since.
Btw does anybody have a good freeze shaman list? I made one with Frozen Crushers and Thrall, Deathseer, but it's not very good. I'd like to think that the archetype itself is playable and my list just sucks.
Ah, I used to run Kel'Thuzad, but he was often really inconsistent and was often a dead card in my hand. I ended up replacing him with Rag, which is overall a more solid control card, which is what I was trying to go for. He's still a great replacement if you want a more combo-oriented Reincarnate Shaman as opposed to a more heavy control deck.
Of course I took him out a long time ago, so I could try seeing how he works in the current deck. I think the changes I made could make him a lot better, so thanks for reminding me of that option!

I think it is too slow for an aggro deck. By turn 5 you should be setting up lethal in 2 or 3 turns. It is a huge tempo loss and you should also need to spend turn 6 arround him to enable him killing something. Maybe im wrong. This need testing.
That being said, if you want you can add him. I dont know what could you take out.
Definitely a shaman fanatic. 2242 wins and the next closest classes less than half that (priest & druid ~1k each). Golden pre-TGT, and happy to say no shamanstone contributions. :D
@globalist - holy hell 7k+ shaman wins.... wow.
Currently (and pretty much always) playing a greedy control shaman. The deck is below, and I'm always tinkering so it's probably 1-3 cards off. I've tried Arfus and The Lich King. Still always want to go back to Stalagg and Feugen, though. Must . . . resist . . .
Hey AbusingKel, You actually helped me make this deck in my first post on Hearthpwn! Made a couple revisions since then, but it's been pretty much the main deck I play, so thanks.
Posted because I actually had decent success with Stalagg and Feugen. I think it adds to the greed of it, and it basically carries me when against other greedy control decks. Because of those two I actually run two reincarnates instead of an ancestral spirit, since you generally want to get the Thaddeus quickly. Just leaving the decklist here for ideas in case you want to fit in Feugen and Stalagg in the future.
Btw have you been fiddling with any Frozen Throne cards? I know a lot of them focus on the new freeze mechanic and the hero card doesn't seem to have any obvious synergy with deathrattle cards, but I found some uses for a few cards. For example, in more minion-heavy lists I found that Thrall, Deathseer was very strong, especially for the possibility of getting another strong deathrattle. I actually recall a game where the evolve hero power gave me a Sneed's which in turn gave me another Feugen after Stalagg had already died. The card really shines in control v. control, and it's given me so many more options for survival after I added it in. Another card I've been fiddling with is Snowfury Giant, but I think it has even more potential in your deck since you run other strong overload cards like Volcano alongside Elemental Destruction.
I disagree. My main understanding of the problems with feugen and stalagg was that it was too slow. The payoff was always good, especially when played immediately with Reincarnate. The issue is you need a deck that can afford to be slow enough to run that combo, and there are decks that greedy that also have decent success.
Now I'm not saying those decks will ever be tier 1, but the deck is good enough to see play and I've seen other people run the Naxx bros successfully.
Could you guys recommend me a decent, fun to play, non-token/evolve Shaman deck for Standard? N'Zoth, Elemental, anything? Guess I have all the cards needed for those archetypes, but I haven't been able to make a decent deck. Probably because my deckbuilding skills aren't that great. It doesn't have to be Legend rank material, just something I can play with at rank 5 and have an ok winrate.

Well, I could offer you the deck in the signature, though it isn't as strong, as it was in Un'goro. I don't promise good results, if you constantly face dudu, but I do promise a good time and fun experience.
Enjoy! :)
Inb4 if you are frequently facing aggro decks, then you could add more anti-aggro stuff. You could try out a wild version of this deck, which will feel more consistent. Here
I feel like a traitor, having gotten my golden shaman in TGT playing Zeus and now only having 828 shaman wins. I did rack up 542 rogue wins in my traitorous absence. I still have love for my Thrall loving girls and boys, though. Don't hate me too much for falling in love with Valeera.
I have just created a new shaman deck that you might want to try.
I am having a blast playing it.
Check out my fun and innovative decks here:
Beat your opponent to a pulp with Revenant Warrior or outlast them with Demon Reno Warlock.

Hi there, good to see you here again

Thanks, will give it a try.
Could someone help me please?
I can't reach rank 15 this season
I'm rank 17 with 1 story both Standard and Wild at moment
I'm using these 2 deck
Are there better decks?
Thanks
IDK, but so far I have decent success with my Elemental Prince deck http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/926508-elemental-prince
You can try something different if you have all cards (btw. already tech'ed vs. Jade Druid and Quest Mage)
Pretty liberating to leave all our 2-drop staples for a while ;)
