LightsOutAce, I couldn't have said it better myself. Whoever gets the most value out their Lightning Storms generally will take the game. It's all about scrapping for value in the mirror.
I had it all planned. Bath tub filled to the brim with three shipments of Haribo gummy bears. Lap top with Hearthstone resting on top, with me nestled deep underneath. Candles are lit as Ben Brode feeds me only the red ones. You're In My System by The System plays in the background as I pwn Miracle Rogues with my impeccable Naxxramas decks. Sweat begins to form on my brow but the Brode'ster is there, handkerchief in hand. "Easy there, champ" he whispers into my ear. Ben Brode joins me in my Haribo hammock and we become the first ones to clear the Arachnid Quarter in Heroic mode.
But no. The dream is dead. R.I.P. July 15th anticipation :'(
The Hunter matchup is always rough for a Shaman. It's scary to make a totem since you may end up paying the price against Starving Buzzard + Unleash the Hounds combo. Be conservative with Totemic Might and playing your minions. Trumps F2P decklist was for an older meta-game so I have some recommendations for replacements. To improve the Zoo matchup, you want to add x2 Argent Squire and x2 Harvest Golem to have a decent early game. I'd remove x2 Acidic Swamp Ooze for at least x1 Wild Pyromancer for added board clear potential with your spells - Lightning Storm being the most important one against Zoo. Be aware of Overload for next turn when playing an Overload card, and plan your next turn during the current one. Make changes to adapt to the meta. If there's a lot of aggro, the above suggestions will improve your win-rate drastically.
Hi Spyder! I'm scratching my head at x2 Shieldbearer. Don't see it's purpose in a Shaman deck. If you like running Earth Elemental, I highly recommend Crusher Shaman:
Ancestral Healing, and Ancestral Spirit synergize well with x2 Earth Elemental. Crusher Shaman is one of the most entertaining Shaman decks I've ever played on ladder, and I think you'll have fun with it too.
If you want some ideas for a more consistent deck, I've listed Shaman decks of all types here at the SIH. The most commonly used decks are under Control and Midrange, and if you click on the title of the deck you'll find a quality write-up!

You back up your predictions well. I think this will be fairly accurate to what Blizz has set up.
