Varden is an unique card. The closest you have to it is frost nova. But sure it is replaceble. Try to replaced it with a strong board stall of defensive early to midgame tool and you have a similar result

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate that. One more bottom note is that one the best cards to pull out from wand thief is ignite, since its fairly versatile, plus its sort of a win condition later on once your deck has run itself all the way down. 

this deck is def not a competitive one, buts its not misbuilt either. if you have this impression that minions will trade even and die both in prooving grounds you probably havent tested it yet. I suggest you give it a try b4 rating. i can explain that tho:

lets consider the minions:
Fel Summoner A
Fel Summoner B
Imprisoned Antaen A
Imprisoned Antaen B
Illidari Inquisitor A
Illidari Inquisitor B
Taintheart Tormenter A
Taintheart Tormenter B
Pit Commander A
Pit Commander B
Burning Blade Acolyte A
Burning Blade Acolyte B
Sylvanas Windrunner
Mo'arg Forgefiend

(Notice A and B are there in case i run two copies of the card)

So lets consider this pulls from Proving Grounds already rated:

Take your conclusions.

sorry but i just cant believe you did that in legend. this is just to slow for the meta. its a value deck, almost like a control one. theres no space for such thing nowadays, unfortunately

wow, thats some really great results bro! Very well done, and congrats, btw

The deck works around having multiple win condition: Mecha'thun, Nomi, Neeru,  Jaraxxus. It also abuse the Highlander package to supply survability and value amoung the mill/automill archtype.

Therefore Mecha'Thun may be discarded, but its not the only way to win anyway.

You can also play Kindly Grandmother that trades leaving Big Bad Wolf behind and bringing Timber Wolf.

Then Big Bad Wolf can both hit for 4 or trade bringing another Timber Wolf

Nothing more than what it already has :/

It indeed has some draw issues, but i just cant figure out how to fix it. 

u ok bro?

I overall agree with your choices. Maybe dragoncaster is a bit under used since your most expensive spell is blizzard. I doubt the body is really interesting in the wild format. Might be a good idea to cut it or add another big spell (like the one who summon 6 drops for 8 mana).

Love HL mage forever <3

Thanks for sharing!
Is 'Varden dawngrasp' a must in the deck? Or can I exchange him for someone/something? 

So, I just played against a Pirate Warrior in ranked, and won. He roughed me up bad though. 

Solid, fun deck.  Works very well from bottom of the ladder up until Gold and then struggles a bit, though that could be because I'm a fairly casual player.  

What's great are the multiple win conditions, a necessity for any good deck.  If you mulligan the Swinetusk Shank and Deadly Poison early, you can often win just going face.  Otherwise, build up your dagger and then drop Steeldancer a couple times using Shadowstep.  You should have at least 5 damage on your weapon before dropping though, ideally 7+.

Other matches you can play control a bit when needed by using Shadowjeweler Hanar well.  Just be careful not to stretch things too long, as this deck will run out pretty quickly and doesn't have any late-game heavy hitters.  You will need a big weapon, some lucky drops from Steeldancer, or a nice Fireball from Wand Thief.

Save Vanessa VanCleef as long as you can to steal whatever card your opponent may play to give you the best win condition.  She's great for picking up some late game steam or defense as needed.

Went 12-8 with this deck. Actually is really good synergizes well. Just the way the meta is right now quest shaman was 6 of the loses and 2 other one were from a priest and rogue. Overall good and fun deck to use.

We don't rush to make progress with the quest…

Yes really nice strategy vs mage and warlock……

I am not going to say Primal Dungeoneer  is a bad card but its one of those shaman cards  that appear to be better then it really is.And although its too early to tell,it seems  to be good only in a elemental deck.So shaman didn't get across the board card draw.

Its situational and its possible that your deck won't have  nature spells at the time you draw it.So it would be a dead card in your hand.

Also they purposely didn't make it a elemental, so you wouldn't be able to activate a elemental that you drew with it.Which would have helped the elemental decks quite a bit.

Shaman needed straight up card draw and while this card will  definitely help them, I doubt it will solve the draw problem.

Thanks! This deck has been rocking for me so far and it is so annoying for paladins which is really nice bonus (also I'm currently 5-1 against secret libram paladin decks)

I'd like to know too

How do you set up the OTK with mecha’thun?
