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 :)

Oh that's awesome to hear! I'm currently at Diamond 5 as well, though I'm playing Druid first. Glad to hear this deck is performing well for you :D

Thank you^^, I'm curious how well it will work myself! My main worry is that it doesn't have enough card draw, so I may end up replacing the Magicfin with a Voracious Reader, possibly 2 copies. 

So the card says "after a friendly minion attacks", not "after ANOTHER friendly minion attacks." Can this buff itself when attacking? :O

While you are correct that Willow has anti-synergy with Tickatus, I was thinking you would use Willow as tempo against certain decks, or in situations where Tickatus is near the bottom of your deck and wouldn't be drawn in time anyways. You can also gamble playing Willow to corrupt Tickatus if you happen to have no other 7 mana or higher cards in your hand. Worst case: you get a 5/5 body, 8/8 body and a taunt out in play.

The Void Drinkers are there for constancy with Willow and synergy with Soul Shards. 

Said this on the card reveal as well, but god it hurts how this card is so much better than Shattered Rumbler TwT. 

You know, with the focus on spell synergy this time around, I wonder if they will finally give Shaman a "your spells cost 1 less" minion, like Sorcerer's Apprentice and Radiant Elemental? 

Totems popped from this guy don't have Charge my dude, so Blood Lust wouldn't help on the next turn anyways.

Unless you are talking about the CURRENT board on turn 6, then yes it is relevant that you can't Blood Lust your board. 

Well it's a good thing this isn't a rouge card then, so no worries :)

I feel - and this could be wrong and we'll see a meaningful difference - that the Shaman changes missed the mark a little bit, ya know?
Lilypad Lurker wasn't underplayed because its stats were bad, it was already solid on its own.  It was underplayed because elemental synergies are just kind of bad.  They're inflexible and reward making suboptimal plays sometimes.

Tidal Surge should never have costed 4 in the first place, so this is a great change - though I don't think Shaman has the tools to take full advantage of having a decent anti aggro card.  The things Control Shaman needs are absent from the game.

Unbound Elemental is also just... a suboptimal card.  It's a slightly worse Questing Adventurer that demands you play cards with downsides.  Just kind of stinky on the face of it, a single additional attack is nice but I don't see that pushing it into viability.

I wasn't expecting much for Shaman, tbh.  It needs changes way closer to the roots of its design, nothing they could possible change with a regular balance patch.  I'm not disappointed, but I hope more changes come next expansion that involve the whole class, not just cards that don't do well.  Ya know... since the whole class isn't doing well.

I am playing this deck right now and I am quite even on legend rank with it. I don't have second protector and switched it out for that weapon that gives 1+1 after attacking to give a little aggro boost. I must say that in all my games (maybe 8-10) I have never used cthun neither played the protector, because either I get crushed by people that have good removal early. then it doesn't seem to have enough draw to get to your lategame potential with cthun but I will try it out a bit longer... Kazakus is really handy in this deck, can buff your minions or draw you a lot and on curve turn 4 its incredible tempo... so all in all cool deck, will see how we have to adjust a little more :)

Thought I made a comment earlier but I guess it didn't go through. I said that I was excited about this deck and it looked very fun and interesting. Coming back to this post was to give an update. Hearthstone allowed me to queue for a little bit in the last hour and I went 4-0! 2 wins versus Libram Paladin, 1 versus Control Warrior, and 1 versus some sort of spell/control priest. Playing at Diamond 5 right now. The game isn't allowing me to queue anymore but I'll definitely keep playing with the deck. Had a lot of fun. Though the C'Thun cards can feel clunky at times, since the deck is primarily aggressive, they surprisingly helped me out in a few of the games. Super cool deck.

Really interesting deck, nice job! I'm excited to try this out.

I don't want Rogue to keep being a boring face class that nobody even want to play against.

I've played Rogue for years and weapon rogue is the most boring piece of trash to play (that's why I stopped after 3 games where I just won round 5-7). Even Pirate rogue was more fun to play.

Why Blizzard why?

You just did the right move and got rid of most aoe freeze effects and now you bring this shit in :(

i kinda see the patern of card creation here, we've got Grim Rally and later discard version of it Wicked Whispers, we've got also Shriek and now destroy your minion version of it  Grimoire of Sacrifice

Let's just look at the cases:

• 1 mana for +1 attack twice (and +2 armor if Druid rather than DH).  Not bad, stacks with the default weapon for 2-attack swings.  It won't activate cards like 0-mana +1 attack Twin Slice did, and doesn't have the pseudo-ramp effect with DH "when your hero attacks" stuff, but the effect is similar.
• 1 mana for 4 damage to your opponent's face.  SMOrc harder than Sinister Strike.
• 1 mana for 2 damage to any target.  Somewhere between Rapid Fire and Arcane Shot.
• 1 mana for two 1/1 dudes.  Not quite Lost in the Jungle, since it's split up.
• 1 mana for 4 healing.  Probably not as bad as it seems.  Rogues use health as a resource, so often cut it kind of close, but also saving minions in a tempo-based deck can be really useful.  Regenerate wasn't deck-worthy except with obscene combos, but getting it randomly when you need it isn't too bad.
• 1 mana for two totems.  Wicked RNG.  Maybe a Taunt Totem saves your game, maybe it's just trash.  Sigh... Shamans... Sigh...
• 1 mana to draw 2 cards and pay 4 life.  That's pretty solid card draw.  Rogue doesn't hurt for card draw, but this doesn't have to be draw when you don't need it.  Probably not as good as Backfire, but that's the closest comparison.
• 1 mana for 4 Armor.  Mostly pretty bad, but those times when you need it, maybe it makes a difference.  Worse than Iron Hide, and Iron Hide was bad.

This isn't quite as good as "Discover Sinister Strike, Lost in the Jungle, Rapid Fire, pre-change Twin Slice, Iron Hide, Regenerate, or Backfire.  It costs 0 mana."  But that card would be OP.

Like, just about all the outcomes of this card are fairly good.  Warrior and Shaman are pretty bad, Priest is pretty situational.  But most of the other effects are kinda nice, and the chances of getting *only* the bad effects, and none of the good options, is probably pretty low.

Wait, if the spell had its cost raised to 1 by something like an opponent's Cult Neophyte, would it let you cast multiple 1-cost cards?
