I have had quite a hard time playing against aggro shaman with my midrange decks. They just seem to be over at turn 3-4, I am sure you know what I am talking about. Even when you do stabalize the board, you are always in fear of their burst.
What decks are you guys running atm that just crush these guys? Thanks
Control Priest, I have a near 100% winrate versus aggro for the past week. Currently at rank 5, if that is relevant to you.
Edit: I don't really enjoy warrior but I know Patron does quite well in this meta too. Control war might be a bit slow, I have played grinder mage with reno as well and it does phenomenally, just produces super long games.
I've encountered a few of these lately, and I have to say my most effective class against them was druid. You have a good amount of solid taunts, you can clear small dudes with a swipe, and if you get a good turn 1 innervate you can mess up their game easily. And wrath + living roots can help a lot too.
I'm surprised you're having so much success vs aggro shaman as control priest. I've been having a hard time vs them, since chow, wild pyro, and even deathlord doesn't trade efficiently. Holy nova and Lightbombs don't clear, and unless you run Harrison or Ooze, it's tough dealing with weapons. Only an early auch circle saves me.
Aggro Shaman isn't really a good deck, as long as you mulligan for Shaman the same way you would mulligan for aggro by keeping T2 removal they don't really have any other way to get out of hand. Tempo Mage absolutely destroys that deck at its own game fwiw, it's pretty laughable.

I have been teching in harrison in a few of my decks, he is almost insta win if you get him off against doomhammer. I don't even care if it overdraws me, the doomhammer along with shaman cheap burn can kick your ass quick if you don't have a way to deal with it.
Renolock is my worst matchup as aggro Shaman. They always seem to draw Reno turns 6-8 and I have yet to beat one. Once I level to 60, I am moving on to another class.
Im playing a Reno controlish Shaman that hasn't lost once yet to aggro Shaman. Between Reno, Healbot, and my Healing wave I almost always have some sort of way to heal and take over as they run out of steam. Currently rank 7, started using this deck at rank 18 a few days ago.

For which one? I can send it to you, I don't like publicizing my better lists.
