This is my first stab at a shaman deck. It Specializes in buffing cards that summon minions onto the battlefield when they are played. Shaman seems like a natural fit for this type of deck because the class ability summons totems, although the same idea could work with a paladin. I like the idea of comboing windfury or bloodlust for a surprise burst. I also wanted to keep the mana curve relatively low to apply early pressure. Leeroy Jenkins is there for the potential mid to late game lust or windfury combo. I've added some card draw to keep the deck from running out of steam too early.
I've also included some spells to silence or remove taunt minions and other annoyances from the opponent.
I love the idea, this could be a really aggressive deck. I noticed you included Knife Juggler. Is it your intent that the Knife Juggler trigger on each minion that is summoned as a result of a card effect? If so, I wouldn't count on that being the case. We are expecting some clarification from Blizzard on Knife Juggler here really soon.

Solid attempt though, looks good.
Yeah, I imagine they're going to change Knife Juggler to "when you play a minion." Otherwise it would be too powerful in Shaman/Paladin decks since they can use their hero power to summon a minion. That is, assuming that they don't consider the Hero Power to be "playing a minion". Definitely looking forward to that clarification lol.
Yeah this deck was made with how cards work now. Presumably Knife Juggler will get a nerf, but it isn't necessary to make this deck work, but it's a natural fit currently. If I didn't use Knife Juggler, what should go in it's place?

So many possibilities. Makes building a deck so hard lol
Flesheating Ghoul would actually work really well this this deck. You have the totems, the 1/1 Imps summoned by Imp Master, the 2/2 Gnolls summoned by Hogger, the 1/1 Boars summoned by Razorfen Hunter, the 2/1 Mechanical Dragonlings from Dragonling Mechanic, and the 2/2 Squires from Silver Hand Knight all of which are fairly weak and will die easily in order to buff your ghoul.

That sir is an awesome strategy. I definitely see, "sacrifice" decks being a lot of fun. You would certainly want some taunt buffs to ensure the opponent actually hits the weak minions though.

That actually is a brilliant idea, and would be a perfect substitute for Knife Juggler, possibly better. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Let me know what you think.
