Lol, the Shaman deck uses Al'Akir the Windlord. Wow. Why?
As a 12 dmg finisher with Rockbiter I suppose. That deck looks a little inconsistent to me though.
Would you rather deal with an 8/8 ragnaros or a 5/5 devilsaur?
Edit: you can target what he transforms if that is what you are talking about
It has multiple uses. If I have an Argent Squire on the table without his bubble ... I'll attack with it ... then use Tinkmaster to transform it. If it stays a 1/1, no loss. If it turns into the 5/5, then bonus.
Poetic.
Similarly, even rolling the 5/5 Devilsaur instead of Tirion Fordring is a dramatic downgrade and preferable to deal with as the opposing player.
I love it how people question these decks while they're the #1-3 in EU.
They are the top 3 in that tournament but not top 3 in all of EU and it is fair to say that if the tournament was replayed then they may not end up in the top 3 again. With that being said, I really want to try out that shaman deck, I never use more than like 7 spell cards but he is spell crazy!
I totally agree with you with respect to your statement about different results if the tournament was replayed, especially with regards to the shaman deck you want to give a shot. I have no doubt that there are scenarios in which the deck has an answer to anything the opponent plays (which might have been one of the factors for the guy's good placement) but I believe that it will perform worse than other high-rated shaman decks when being played for ~50+ games.
It just doesn't look consistent to me, as if the player tried to include a bit of everything without actually creating a strong foundation. For instance, he runs Ancestral Spirit; while the card can have its moments, it's usually cast on big creatures, such as the Earth Elemental or Al'Akir but these minions are prone to be cc'd anyway, so in most cases it will simply be a waste of 2 cards instead of one. Furthermore he's running a single Lightning Storm (2 seem mandatory to me due to the abundance of Rogue & Warlock decks out there), a single Feral Spirit and Stormforged Axe. I'd also run two Earth Shocks (combo'd with Thalnos or a spellpower totem, it can remove Argent Commanders)and another Earth Elemental; the DID and Sunwalker look random to me...anyway, I am playing a different shaman deck and I haven't tried this one out, I might as well be wrong.
Edit: I'm currently running this deck http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/22422-legendary-rank-shaman-anti-aggro with a few minor modifications (added Acidic Swamp Oozes vs OTK Warriors & Rogues and Ragnaros + Tinkmaster Overspark).
Your feelings toward the critics are irrelevant.

Nozdormu wins you every game where you opponent has to go to the bathroom on turn 9.
I did not express any feelings. Try again.
I think a better question about tink master (which is a card I whole heartedly agree with and love) is why tink master in a shaman deck that has access to Hex. Tink Master is awesome sauce in paladin / druid which lacks hard removal, but in shaman, 2 hexes should be sufficient to deal with tirion / rag / sylvanis / ysera etc.I would probably replace it with Black Knight instead.
I agree. It just proves that solid play doesn't make the top players in this game. Money and access to overpowered legendary cards does.
Saying "once you have 3-5 strong legendaries" is like saying "once you own all the Moxes or a Black Lotus and Time Warp, you're golden". And those cards ain't cheap, either.
This game, unlike Magic, doesn't allow trades. So it's a drastic difference between the two. All the game takes is spending money and knowing basic card game mechanics. That's not skill. That's Yu-Gi-Oh.
