Yes, the first three turns were a bit off the spot.You tanked 6-10 more damage than you should. You should have weapone'd instead of Fire fly, hit Deckhand, leave your 1/1 to deal with the 1/1, and then Jade the 2/3 instead of wasting your Flametongue that couldn't even trade the full board.
The idea is to get the board against the warrior. To tell the truth though, you failed to draw any Creepers or AoE, so you were also playing with a bad hand. Maybe get rid of Bloodlust/Al'Akir and add two Servants of Kalimos for the body and the effect? Or even Stonehill Defender since you can fish for quite some good in-class Taunts.

Thanks.
But,
Servant of Kalimos is too slow against aggro and against control I still can't generate enough value. Thats why I have bloodlust and Al'Akir. I had 4 early taunts, 3 AOEs, 4 early heals, drew none. :(
Servant is a 4/5 for 5 at worse. If you check your hand you drew on Bloodlust and Al'Akir, both useless on aggro matchups. If you had a Servant, you would at least hit the 3/4 or trade a 1 charge of Arcanite. Also, Stonehills are very important due to the body and the fact that it can chain taunts and setup nice board clears.
Against Control, Stonehills+Kalimos can generate enough value by picking late hitters.
Also, although you didn't have the best possible hand, keep in mind that the Warrior also drew poorly, missing First Mate and Win axe.
your deck lacks value and power, so control decks will slowly out-value you and you will lose.
You've got 5 heal cards in your deck and a lot of taunt minions. That heavily decreases your value and power of your deck. I would definitely swap out the Jinyu's out considering you already have enough healing.
Get another malestorm portal just because that card is insane and is good against EVERY aggro deck in the meta right now.
As suggested before, you need servant of kalimos for extra value. Your current decklist lacks heavily on value and you definitely need some to compete with the many control decks in the meta right now.
Bloodlust is pretty weak and it doesn't make any sense in your decklist. It would suit a deathrattle or aggro decklist, yours is a control. You don't really need that extra inconsistent burst damage for control deck. If you already got a good board, then you don't need to bloodlust it. I would swap it for spirit echo.
I played Jade-Elemental Shaman. Here's the decklist
Here's the match. Could I have done anything different to save the game?
