This brings up the next issue with the shaman class, win conditions. The shaman class has but one win condition in this type of meta, get your opponent low, and then spam spells into the opponents face.
They really only destroy small minions, which is only a problem if you're lacking in board control or playing aggro.
Or, as I have discovered, Fire Elemental and Azure Drake. That variance is why I hate Dr. Boom so much, and would love nothing more than for it to be nerfed until it's just 400 dust.
So, what would you all do if Dr. Boom DID get nerfed? What would you put in the 7 slot? Other than a few CLASS SPECIFIC cards there are NO good 7 drops. So what would you do? War Golem? No. A class specific? If you're lucky to have one. Just not play a 7 drop? That'll ruin your tempo.
DR. BOOM IS A NECESSARY EVIL!
If he didn't exist something else would. There has to be a solid 7 drop and atleast with this one you can only run 1 copy. What if there was a good 7 drop epic? Would you complain more because now you have to deal with 2 solid 7 drops? How about we just all stop crying nerf and learn to accept that Dr. Boom is here to stay. Oh, and btw, everyone can craft it so its not like its unfair... Why not cry about class specific legendaries, atleast then you would have something to argue about.
It's contradictory to say that there are no good 7-drops, but if Dr. Boom were nerfed, there would suddenly be another broken 7-drop.
Doomhammer, if you aren't seeing Harrison Jones. If you're seeing a lot of him, just use some other finisher like a second Bloodlust or any big minion.

I was going to vote for Nat Pagle, but I decided to vote for Nat Pagle instead.

At least we're not rogues.
As for dragon priests, I'm pretty sure totem shaman is favored against them.

Legend, according to the deck writeup

Bloodlust, Al'Akir the Windlord or Doomhammer + Rockbiter Weapon. And spamming spells at the opponent's face isn't a bad win condition, considering it works for most mage decks.
What shaman needs, imho, is a good early game minion without overload. Overload isn't a bad mechanic, but it's horrible in the early game.

If the majority of your games are against hunter, I would take out the Big Game Hunter

Any big dragon should work. Ysera would probably be my first choice, or Nefarian if you don't have her.

Sounds like a connection issue, I've been running it on Win10 with zero issues.

Someone posted on another thread that he got 2x of each card in his chest. Has anybody else had that bug, or is he trolling?

I haven't used this at all in constructed, nor do I plan to.
But, in arena, she's insane. She carried me to multiple 7-win arenas on release day for TGT, and is one of my top picks for the common/basic rarity.

It also competes with Defender of Argus, Chillwind yeti, Fireguard Destroyer, Dark Iron Dwarf, Sen'Jin Shieldmaster, and Gormok the Impaler.
If none of those can beat Shredder, I have no hope for this card.

Nope. There aren't enough totems for that to be true, and the totems we have need other minions to act as protection or activators.
This might be possible after a few expansions, but only if they release more cards like Totem Golem.

You tell me, I haven't seen one in months.
