This is Boltzmann's take on Freeze Shudderwock Shaman. This deck performs very well against Pirate Warrior. In this video, we go into some depth, on the structure of the deck and justifications for different card inclusions. If you have questions, please post them below, and I am sure Boltzmann will respond.

17th December update: Boltzmann's Freeze Shudderwock Shaman to Legend!
Boltzmann's Freeze Shudderwock Shaman carried me to legend this week! Check out last week's video for a more detailed guide on how to play the deck (https://youtu.be/ba7PAPi-uy0).
Deck code: AAEBAaoICvoOl8cCi84Cw+oC7/cCy4UDtZgDqO4DhvoDi58ECt/EApvLAvPnAovVA5LkA+PuA9OABLmRBJWSBNySBAA= For Doomhammer
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We go back to Jade Druid - this time with Wildheart Guff! Having more mana to work with is a game changer - and is taking me time to figure out how to play effectively.
31st December update: Copa's Corrupted Reno Shaman, ft. Shudderwock and Y'Shaarj, the Defiler!
Happy New Year everyone! Another interesting off-meta Reno Shaman build, with Y'Shaarj, the Defiler and Freeze effects.
I was rather embarrassed - when part way through the video, I realised that Dunk Tank can target face. After talking to the deck author, I then realised why the Emperor is in the deck (to discount Bolner and Y'Shaarj). At that point, I realised the OTK potential of the deck.
So in conclusion... it would help if I actually read the card text before playing cards I am not familiar with! This was still a great learning experience though and a lot of fun! Beating Pirate Warrior and Odd Hunter is still an awesome achievement for an off-meta deck. I played this as a Reno Shaman deck, rather than an OTK deck. Turns out that works well too! 10 wins and 5 losses is pretty good!
5th January update: GetMeowth's Freeze Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Grumble, Worldshaker!
Another version of Freeze Shaman - but this time with Grumble, Worldshaker. A wonderful start to the January 2022 season - all footage is from day 1 and day 2 of the season. Thanks to GetMeowth for the deck.
9th January update: EnDjinn's Reno Hakkar Paladin: Travelling through the Diamond ladder!
The quote from Gandalf is very relevant at the start: "So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
How do we use the time that is given to us? I am glad that I have invested the time to try this great off-meta deck. Thanks to EnDjinn - I am 9-4 with this deck, and it has helped me to traverse the diamond ladder!
30th January update: hsWhiteDelight's Big Shaman, ft. Hakkar the Soulflayer!
Fun times with Big Shaman vs Boar Priest, Pirate Warrior and C'Thun Druid. Thanks to hsWhiteDelight for the glorious deck! (https://twitter.com/hsWhiteDelight)
12th February update: Roffle's Double Yogg Libram Paladin, ft. Eydis Darkbane
Thanks to Roffle for this awesome deck - Librams, Yoggs and fun tiimes! The Demon Seed is supposed to be banned from Wild! I assume this is (another) bug...
27th February update: DannyJi's Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Kazakusan!
More of a fun deck than a competitive deck - but this deck is capable of winning games and getting you through the ladder. Kazakusan from the Onyxia's Lair miniset is more of a fun inclusion - the problem is games not lasting long enough to play him!
3rd April update: Boltzmann's Reno Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Blademaster Okani!
Thanks to Boltzmann for the deck. It has been a while since I have played Reno Shaman! Blademaster Okani continues to feel solid and fun! Reno Shaman has more or less disappeared from the Wild meta. However, it can still be good under certain circumstances... and gives me some hope for the future!
3rd July update: Murloc Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Prince Renathal
It has been a while since I have taken an active interest in Wild Hearthstone. 3 months since I last published a video. I see a new Shudderwock deck? Now I am interested again! Murlocs. So many Murlocs?!
9th July update: Roffle's Druid with 40 legendary cards!
In today's video, I am featuring Roffle's 40 legendary Druid deck! So much dust! So much value! So much meme potential? Wait, we actually won a game or two?!
16th July update: Reno Pocket Galaxy Mage (40 cards) + Fun times with Rin, the First Disciple!
In today's video, I am featuring a Reno Pocket Galaxy Mage deck, which was shared by a good friend, FC Boogax! Aggro decks can be a problem, but there are some awesome interactions with this deck:
1) Pocket Galaxy + Stargazer Luna = Draw all your 1 mana minions is awesome. 2) Dawngrasp recasting the Puzzle Box is awesome. 3) Dragoncaster triggering Puzzle Box is awesome. 4) Using Sir Finley to find 1 mana cost minions is awesome.
1) Use the armour gain and other defensive tools to survive.
2) Draw through your deck as quickly as possible - use Lady Anacondra to help with this after an Alignment turn
3) Swap decks with your opponent after playing Togwaggle - hopefully you are giving them either an empty deck or a small number of cards. Hopefully you inherit a large deck from your opponent.
4) Play Hakkar - and let the Corrupted Bloods go wild
5) Your opponent hopefully has fewer cards and takes the damage more quickly from the Corrupted Bloods
6) If Alignment has been played recently, hopefully they don't have enough mana to swap the decks back The ending sequence needs some skill to play... and practice!

Thanks to Oakijak for this awesome deck - a deathrattle aggro priest.
The ultimate aim for me when playing this deck, is a Leper Gnome OTK. Keep bringing the Leper Gnomes back to life and then play Xyrella, the Devout!
Also, it is great to see the Undertaker! Such fond memories of that card from 2014!

7th August update: Dane's Hadronox Druid (Murder at Castle Nathria)
Taunts, Owls, and Deathrattles! In today's video, I am featuring Dane's glorious Hadronox Druid.
1) use armour gain to survive the early turns and play defensively
2) Ramp mana with Guff
3) Use Sesselie to discount your big minions - like Owls and Forgefiends. Use Hedge to trigger her deathrattle if needed.
4) Use the Twig for more mana gain if needed, and go off with Umbra / Owl / Cubes
5) With your mana ramping and with the Sesselie discounted draws, hopefully you can fit in everything you need across 1 turn!
6) Oh and Baron Rivendare is in the deck, for double triggers!
