Low budget deck struggling against high budget decks, who would have thought?
A: Get better cards or keep complaining about not having them.
Yup
I've played with friends/ decks with plenty of legendaries in them, and there's not much different, besides having 1 or 2 extra outs in a given scenario. It's nice, but you don't need them to have a high winrate at all.
I want Leeroy and TBK in Zoo, but they don't help enough to make it matter.
I feel like I've done a good job in card explanations here. This deck mostly unassisted got me to rank 3 s1 and rank 4 s2, and I was just too lazy to grind for legend.
Mortal Coil really is a necessity in an aggro-centric meta. It's rarely even dead against control.
Playing against rush, I have little experience as I just out-rush them. But otherwise, just don't make silly mistakes like playing 3 cards then your drawing card/power. Draw first.
If people play to win, that's there business, not yours. Don't complain if you lose to that.
It's a bit of a scrub mentality. You aren't better because you play your own creations. Others aren't worse because they don't. Play how you want, but don't complain if things don't go your way because your limiting yourself with a set of made-up rules of how to play, the game doesn't recognize them.
i would have to disagree on some of the base cards. 2x Flametongue is definitely not an Auto-include for control Shamans. that being said, I run a 1-of because i use it as removal.
Argent Squire and Argus are most certainly not Auto, though argus is brilliant with the hero power. Squires are early presence, but I've found little use for them in Shaman
You're not a scrub if you don't play FOTM decks. You're a scrub if you have self-imposed rules about how the game should be played, and think that makes you a better player, or that FOTM is 'cheap'.
Play your own brews, play FOTM, just don't be a scrub.

attention, a conditional fireball for the same cost is OP

^this. The game is only about 20-30% luck, and even then, it evens out if you play 50 games.

Given the plethora of other zoo decks and aggro decks in general, try 2x Mortal Coil. It's *really* useful.
I'd take out Shieldbearer and Elven Archer, personally. (Only run the archer if you already have 2 coils)
Edit: If it's taunts that are problematic, try taking out cards like Shattered Sun Cleric and putting in Power Overwhelming and Argent Commander.

I've been running the variation with 1x Ironbeak Owl instead of Southsea Deckhand. What are your thoughts on this?

Rank 10 in ten days, I'm impressed.

Do we really need more of this?

Btw the meta IS changing a lot.

Holy Crap this is a great deck. I love aggro, love Paladin, but I couldn't get it down myself. You hit the nail on the head here.

I'm thinking miracle Shaman with Leeroy + Rebirth = 6 mana, 12 damage.

I've been playing this deck (sans Leeroy) And after an amazing game vs handlock where i killed 3 giants in one turn, I've gotta +1 you.

I drafted 4 Crusaders and 3 Harvest Golems and 3 Truesilvers today. Those are cards, i would gladly take 4 copies of.

Well, I love the sound of this, so I'll give it a shot
