Lightning Bloom is clearly a good card. Shaman also has a lot of 0 mana spells, and generally quite good 1 mana spells. Thus, the Gadgetzan Auctioneer draw engine may now be viable in this class.

Furthermore, Shaman has lots of potential routes to go:

• A totem list with Totem Goliath and Wicked Witchdoctor
• A giants build with Snowfury Giant, Arcane Giant and potentially others
• A burn build using Malygos
• Some sort of combo build with Dwarven Archaeologist and Instructor Fireheart

Furthermore, whatever route is preferable, Shaman has access to cards like Zentimo and Speaker Gidra, both of whom I think could work in a combo-y/tempo-y style build.

However...

I do not currently see a viable build. Even ignoring the Gadgetzan package and using using Ancestral Knowledge (presumably in a Giant's build), I struggle to see a deck that is consistent and powerful enough.

I would like to see what other people think of these ideas.

As much as I love Shaman I don't see how he is going to not be completely obliterated in wild..

In standard I'm excited for Instructor Fireheart - it's great combo'd with the forgotten Dwarven Archaeologist for a miracle spell shaman value generator or burn finisher. The package drops nicely into any spell shaman list;

 Even Shaman is tier 1 in Wild. You can win 60% of your games by turn 6-7

Its not fun.....but its tier 1.
