She's been quite handy when combined with Park Panther, 5 attack continues to be a breakpoint for minion HP. Plus if you draw her late you can still copy a Park Panther at 7 mana.
In theory, you can run the deck without her, but I included beasts like Encumbered Pack Mule specifically for the +1/+1 buff. Without Shan'do Wildclaw, you might consider running different cards for the early game.
Hi there, yeah I've been having some trouble closing out games as well. Ideally, you want to mulligan for your early beasts and the the pirates, so you have board presence. Don't be afraid to use Solar Eclipse with Feral Rage to get either 8 attack or 16 armor as you need it.
In theory, you only need to hold onto one copy of Moonlit Guidance to search for a fully assembled C'Thun, which will give you an extra copy. However, the problem I've been encountering is Druid's natural weakness to board clears. If your beasts don't stick on the board, you will be spending your resources trying to deal with you opponent's board rather than assembling your long term win condition.
I hope that helps? Even as the deck's creator I'm still learning how best to play it lol. One matchup I've really struggled with is Paladin, this deck is not good at dealing with big minions. I'm considering running Royal Librarian just to deal with those buffed minions and deathrattles.
Hey thanks man! You're the second person to mention they replaced the Heart of the Wild with other cards lol. I initially imagined it had a home as a 3-mana "Blessing of Kings" on your 2-drop, or as a big boost to either half of Dire Frostwolf, but I haven't had a chance to actually test anything due to my 9-5 job lmao.
Thank you very much for the feedback, I'll keep this in mind once I finally get the deck assembled.
Thank you! I haven't had the chance to try out my own deck yet due to work, but I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind :) . I originally wanted to have Living Seed (Rank 1) because of the additional card draw, so if Heart of the Wild doesn't feel good enough I'll likely add in those exact two cards to replace them.
Maaan, I've been wanting a card like this since Witchwood, but I wanted it to be a "Mass Hex" for Shaman. Like. back when card reveals were happening I thought that's what Witching Hour was going to be.
And now my ideal board clear card is going to Mage. Yaaaay...
I see, I can certainly appreciate a Control/Late Game Shaman deck so I might try something like this out at Some point. Currently experimenting with weapons combo list.
That all said, this deck's game plan is to be mostly aggro, with some late game potential if the murlocs run out of steam. If Warlock continues to be popular then this deck might not do so well for people, but if the meta shifts away from Warlock I think this deck is solid against the other classes :)
Yep, removal + Soul Shard healing + Jaraxxus + Tickatus has been a problem for this deck to deal with. Still, glad to hear you've been having good results :)
Hi there, I thought I replied to this message earlier but I guess it never went through, odd. I originally said that I was at Diamond 5 at the time, and actually managed to claw my way to Legend the morning of the 31st! XD
Oh awesome to hear! I've been having a bit of trouble using this deck against Warlocks because of how much value Jaraxxus has, but overall it performs pretty decent, and is indeed fun to play :)
Oh I thought I replied to this already, guess it didn't go through? Yes you are correct that Tamsin Roame is a great fit for the deck, the list you saw was put together before all the Forged in the Barrens cards were revealed.
Oh yeah for sure. I had the same idea, made a deck list for an Elemental version on this same concept. Doesn't seems to be as popular as this murloc version though lol

Lol well brewmaster is still useful enough to combo with other battlecry minions. Still, valid point. :)

Thanks man! Yeah I like building flexible decks that people might not expect ;) . Let me know how it works for you^^.

Don't minions with Charge/Rush thaw a turn earlier since they miss their normal attack phase? That's what used to happen anyways.
So Al'Akir the Windlord and Troll Centurion should be ready to act the following turn.

Yesss!! This has been a long time coming friends!
My god has it been rough being a Shaman player TwT. Who's bright idea was it to make a class weakness card draw, in a freaking CARD game?
