Definitely considered him, but I think since his nerf he's a little bit costly to 'pop off' on a burn combo. Shaman a notoriously bad with card draw so will have to wait and see but food for thought.
Definitely, I've mentioned that control package in the guide, but it's hard to tell right now what direction for the list will be best; it could easily be burn/control/dragon/combo/quest depending on the last cards announced and Scholomance meta.
Excited for Instructor Fireheart - it's great combo'd with the forgotten Dwarven Archaeologist for a miracle spell shaman value generator or burn finisher. The package drops nicely into any spell shaman list;
In standard I'm excited for Instructor Fireheart - it's great combo'd with the forgotten Dwarven Archaeologist for a miracle spell shaman value generator or burn finisher. The package drops nicely into any spell shaman list;
A few fair comments in there, the reasoning for the Devolving Missiles is the disruption and need for silence in the Scholomance meta - I appreciate we don't want to control but the decks' burn combo's come mid to late game, so there's an element of control or stall regardless of the burn mentality ... we're not just shooting lightning bolt face every turn. Like I highlighted, Vulpera Scoundrel and Cobalt Spellkin could be an include.
Yeah, it's hard to say what package to go for this early - but Frost Shock & Earth Shock would be a pretty safe swap to Cobalt Spellkin since we've got spell value generation going on. I'm just keeping the list burn focussed as opposed to control/stall focussed since like you say; Shaman doesn't really have an end game these days! Hopefully some more support will be released in the next few days that steers the deck in a control/combo direction, as that would be my preference too!
Knowing Shaman pretty well, I'm hesitant for the OTK because they have such notoriously bad card draw, even with Lady Vashj. Likewise, with all the new deathrattle and minion effects I think the meta will be full of silence removal, meaning Ancestral Spirit will likely whiff most of the time.
Hopefully a card or two will be revealed that supports the OTK though!
Control the board with spells and burn the enemy down with the miracle effect of Instructor Fireheart & Dwarven Archaeologist. This current list is very burn focussed, but if Shaman gets some more end game support a control deck with one of the packages mentioned might work.

Plagued Protodrake combo's great with Vectus alongside the old Scrapyard Colossus to give Shaman a new spin on Deathrattle Muckmorpher deck:

Might be nice in Miracle Spell Shaman for high-rolling a discounted Malygos or 3-mana minion like Rustsworn Initiate on curve, probably just a one-of though as slightly meme;

Ah gotcha, for sure that would be great, although very highroll - something to look out for for sure

Hopefully more support for Miracle Spell Shaman is announced, ideally a copy minion effect for hitting Dwarven Archaeologist alongside Instructor Fireheart or a neutral/shaman end game plan beyond burn
