I run a somewhat similair aggro shaman, idk if i already posted an updated list, but i run more murlocs and windfury instead of totem golems and lighting bolts

If nothing else its fun, but seems to be going well so far. Also 1 bloodlust doesnt hurt if you dont draw murlocs or dont draw everyfin the jade stuff seems kinda out of place to me but 

/shrug

love it, best combo ive had is 56 dmg, 

edit - i ran kabals

the winning never ends

best reno mage list i've seen yet

Hey sorry for the delay in response, i've been a bit busy. 
I have a bunch of potential changes that could/would be more optimal, but i've had limited time to actually playtest most of them. As of my own current version of this deck it leans a bit more handlock-esque, as your sunfury's would have it be. I don't think we'd want two though. Playing this deck as much as I have I would definately say that while there IS plenty of value in running ritual, it is not by any means a core card. And I myself removed it in favor of more AoE. I had alot of fun with this deck, as it was clearly a shock to most of my opponents. And plus having the OTK style to warlock was kinda fun. 

Ultimately, i made it into a reno deck and its much much better.

Super good deck! a must-try variation!

Haha, how funny. While reading you're guide I couldn't help but feel like i knew exactly where you're comin from. I'm in a similair spot with my version of N'zoth rogue(dragon N'zoth). Looking at your list, and noting the differences in mine to yours, i have to say i like where yours is going, but i like where mine is at more, if that makes sense. Like i have almost built this list atleast once, and prob about ten similair ones in the process,  and it feels like your on to somethin while your making it and playing it, ya know what i mean? Could be great, but for now its still rough draft. I love argus in n'zoth rogue, i didn't get to play with it too much as my version is dragons so i run the guardians instead. I only recently started to toy around with bran and shadowcaster in the list, so its glad to see theres plenty of data available on it so saves me some time there lol. I'd run xaril in mine if i ahd him, but i run two journeys like you do so i can nearly always get him. I actually don't run cairne right now, mostly because i just don't have room for him, as I run chillmaw and ysera(not sure what to better replace her with honestly, deathwing doesnt feel much better and neither does alex. ) I feel like Anub is a similair card for you, hes a deathrattle so why not, but hes a winmore card, and also easily gained from JB. I don't have two shadowcasters so ive been runnin with 1 shadowcaster and 1 faceless manip and brann, its a bit more complicated for the combo but it does work lol.  I'm so glad i'm not the only one who noticed dagger up is no only nearly pointless in N'zoth rogue, but its actually a liability and often the reason i lose. Also was very PogChamp to see you even listed Priest HP as one of the ideal picks from finly, cause thats the entire reason i even added him. Thats the one thing i can't seem to fix, that this deck is in desperate need of more heals. I run 1 or 2 earthen ring in mine, and then finley, and with brann it goes a bit further, doesn't feel good but feels good enough. So thisis getting to long so i'll just do this -

tl;dr - 

I like your deck, i made a similair one, but its dragon style. 
I agree with or atleast accept most of the choices you have in this list, but some changes I'd personally atleast consider are -


I'd swap, remove, or add -
----------------------------
Anub - feels like a winmore card, plus often can be gained from JB

the sunfury protector cause.... like i see what you are trying to do, but no.. I just don't think it's necessary at all in this deck infact I'd even consider dropping one of the argus too, cause you technically don't need two do you? But two is okay i suppose, especially since these decks lack draw.

I don't think you need double fan of knives either, one is okay i suppose since you have bloodmage atleast, but i'd drop the other one and swap in a skulker if you want a second clear cause atleast skulker can be shadowcastered as well. 

Have you thought about adding twilight summoner or infested tauren? infested because you obviously want the taunt since you run sunfury and argus lol. But its a bit better than argus in that infested will come back as a taunt with nzoth. Super helpful sometimes. And summoner because, i mean, if you run bran and raptor, why not get some insane value once in awhile if nothing else.

In my list atleast, i run Rag, and I would't get rid of him for anything. He is soo good in this type of deck, not only for shadowcaster value, but just on his own he's a great card for stalling until nzoth, or just to get some damage done and threaten a bit. I think this deck could use somethin like that. Something outside of nzoth to help win

Oh, and since this deck has a problem im familiar with, in that you have 3s for days and even more 3s as 'tech options' id be willing to wager lol atleast if you're anything like me. A nice little workaround of having to pick between some of them is run a damn scarab. With bran it can be amazing, and allows you to risk running one or even none of certain important 3 drops i know its not like, the best thing to go with, but like i've had to do it before to make room for important cards on similair lists, and besides being super fun, it's suprisingly strong most of the time, but like any card like this, there are those times when its total garbge.

Anyway, sorry for the longass comment, i just have a passion for thisd decktype for rigt now and was excited to see someone thinking along the same lines as i was.

After playing much more of the deck i totally take back my thing about lacking damage. This is muuuch smoother curve than what i was using. I run Hallazeal, Emperor, Chillmaw, Ragnaros, Ysera, and Yogg and it's been working well enough. Took awhile to get used to the deck but now I'm sitting at a even 10-10 50% winrate, but it's going upwards, I feel this deck is perfect for relaxing between ladder grinds, because it wont drop you a ton of ranks and might even grab you a couple.

edit - Elise too, duhhh, and she is totally one of the MVPs

I've been a fan of dragon decks for as long as I've been able to play them lol. And i've only recently discvovered how much fun conrol shaman is, so it's cool to find this list so quickly, as it's close to what i had in mind anyway. Question, while I have Ysera and she's obviously better for control matches, what are your thoughts on Alex instead maybe?(or as well as) i find that i am lacking in damage more than anything else in most matchups

EDIT - I also don't have nefarian or any other big dragons besides Alex, Ysera, Chillmaw, and deathwing with the deathrattle.

Leeroy, if not leeroy then maybe try rocketeer. Patron would probably be better until you get grom

Okay, just so everyone knows, this list is under construction - I've been and will continue to swap out cards as i search for the best options available to me. As always there are two lists one for aggro and one for control. I'll try not to switch between the two so i don't confuse you guys.

I've updated the list a bit. got rid of pyro/clerics, got my 2nd thoughtsteal like i been wanting, and stopped+took out the holy nova, not sure why exactly i thought running one evil and one nova was better. Although its clearly not ideal, i have to say that between Shifting Shade , Thoughtsteal , and Museum Curator I can't really say I've missed not having Sylvanas Windrunner or Cairne Bloodhoof directly in my list. I've rarely had a game where I didnt end up with atleast 1 sylvanas, or atleast one chance at having a sylvanas. And Cairne is usually not far behind.

youre absolutely right, as i found out the hard way

I want everyone's opinion! Worse case scenario its somethin I already know, or better yet, soemthin I might not have =P

Anyway
-1 Northshire Cleric and -1 Power Word: Shield
+1 Embrace the Shadows and +1 Corrupted Healbot

Thats totally viable swaps and in some ways totally better, even, lol.

I do plan to swap in Embrace the Shadows ASAP - I just dont own the card yet.

And Corrupted Healbot is a good budget replacement for Cairne Bloodhoof or Sylvanas Windrunner and the synergy is good, being a big body deathrattle, and its amazing if you have Auchenai Soulpriest up - but I personally dont like to run more than one because its fairly rare you'll have the auchenai up, and even less common to have it up while you pop TWO of them, make that 4 with N'zoth. Now that thinking could be totally flawed, but its why i only run one at the moment.

Now, this list originally didnt run the cleric or power words at all or a pyro, because they just werent doing enough. Cleric was rarely getting me draws without wasting Circle of Healing which is idealy ONLY used for combo with soulpriest. And without that combo pyro became lackluster. But, the other options i had available to me werent much better, so i brought back one of each. since then, I still plan to drop cleric, maybe sooner rather than later, because i really want a secon Thoughtsteal But I actually really have liked having the one copy of shield, maybe even a second one. Pyro i'm still a bit undecided on... i feel like thalnos or somethin with spell power would FeelsGoodMan because sometimes i really need that one dmg, or that one card draw...  Its a work in progress --thanks for your input =) 

Corrupted Healbot work to replace Sylvanas Windrunner? And i subbed Forbidden Shaping for Holy Smite cause i figured it serves basically all the same roles except for ping, which often i find the body is more helpful than a ping. Opinions?
