Your thoughts on Fireguard Destroyer as an alternative (or supplement?) to Draenei Totemcarver? Worst case you end up with the attack of an unbuffed Carver, but keep a decent butt. Best case, it's a 3-totem carver. Overload of one still allows you to play 4-mana another next turn.
No one seems to be running it though, so I'm probably missing something.
I dont play shaman but wild is full of even shaman decks. I havent seen shaman with either of those minions in a long time (since bdp) haha can you post your list here?
Fireguard Destroyer is just bad. You do not want to be playing "unbuffed totemcarvers" that overload 1. If that was not absolutely terrible, totemcarvers would have been played when they were standard
I have bad experience with the shredders. Totemcarvers can be good, but against decks with a lot of board clears it's difficult to get value. The guaranteed 6-health (and 4-7 attack) of the Fireguard seems good compared to Totemcarvers, but apparently that is not an opinion shared by many.

I use neither of them, but totemcarver looks better and more consistent.
You want to sub totemcarver with Sea Giants, Flamewreathed Facelesses or Piloted Shredders if you don't run them already. Alternatively, you could test out the new card Thunderhead

Legend with : S65 Freeze Mage, S57 Maly Gonk Druid, S57 "Okay" Shaman, S53 Boom-zooka Hunter, S53 Maly Tog Druid, S52 Wild Tog Druid ft.Blingtron, S50 Quest Rogue, S49 Dead Man's Warrior, S41 Wild Clown Fiesta Druid, S41 Hadronox Jade Druid, S40 Wild OTK Dragon Druid, S35 SMOrc Shaman, S33 Jade Druid, S22 Control Priest, S19 Control Priest
This is the decklist that constitutes the baseline of current Wild Even Shaman, with Spellbreaker in the flex spot.
Main threats are Flamewreathed Facelesses, Sea Giants and The Lich King, backed up by either Draenei Totemcarvers or Piloted Shredders.
