Actually I've encountered this matchup only 2 times with my shaman build, but I've lost both games despite one of those games warrior played Elysiana only one time (and with shudderwock I can play her battlecry 2 times).
So I was wondering: is my deck weaker comparing to control warrior? Or if both pairspl play on equal skill level, shaman should win?
So, what do you guys think of my deck and what do you think of this matchup in general?
I think CW is a stronger deck overall. Note, that with Shudder you can't pick what's shuffled in your deck, so it will most likely be very mediocre at best.
If warrior often gets removal-minions from it's hero power and you don't get it from your Hagatha spells, they'll tend to win that game. If warrior hits its hero card before you, they'll tend to win that game too.
Yes, shudder gives you random cards, but the main aspect is that it gives you another ten cards in your deck and if cw can't replay it's own Elysiana, in theory you should win. But as 1xbenx1 said, both times warrior had better cards from here and generally had more removal.
So now I'm thinking if I cannot beat cw even with Elysiana, maybe there's no need in her, since there no more fatigue decks where she would matter.

Big Shaman has a much better time against Warrior if you still want to play the controlling style of shaman.

It's very draw RNG dependent in my experience.
