Blade Flurry, Ironbeak Owl or Sap seem to be the top contenders in my mind. I think on balance I prefer a second sap, with a second blade blurry coming pretty close. The second sap allows you to use one for early tempo advantage (yeti removal), and still have a backup for finisher.
I like the PB instead of Cold Blood.
Thoughts on including Cairne somehow (now that tink has been nerfed)? I don't really want to give up an Argent Commander, but I feel like Cairne is basically too good not to run.
I did for a while, then traded it and Al'Akir for a Doomhammer and a Rag. I'm still on the fence both ways, but I think I actually like Bloodlust/Al better.
At some stage I also switched out DoA for Shieldmaster. I still find myslf getting smashed by hunter/murlocks pretty often though.
Hey all, looking for some feedback on this deck. Currently rank 5, only played it for a few games, but seems pretty strong so far.
Explanation of specific cards:-
Ancestral Spirit - This has great synergy with EE / Argent Comm
Crazed - Great counter to Pagle / pulls a lot of creatures into storm/bolt range when you have a +1 SD out (totem/bloodmage), such as taunt Druid of the Claw.
Acolyte - I feel like this card is particularly strong in the current meta, against Hunter / Aggro Warlock / Aggro Pally, and gives me some early board presence. Not sure whether this is superior to Harvest Golem or Earthen Ring Farseer, but I feel like Hunter is so popular / OP at the moment this is pretty powerful, pretty much always a 2-1 and sometimes a 3-1.
Doomhammer - Finisher w/rockbiters
Earth Elemental - Strong vs aggro classes, druid, etc.

I think assassinate is pretty much the worst choice to be honest.

Yeah, that's a pretty cool idea. Helps fill out the mana curve too.

Yeah, changed Tink to 3/3 and 'random minion' goes to 1/1 or 5/5 rather than targeted.

You obviously haven't played Shaman much, or you only play at like 25. Shaman's definitely have <50% wr against hunter rush. Significantly less.
The only class that I would guess comes near the 50% mark or over is warrior.

This is almost identical to the deck I've been running. Nice one.

If you're winning >50% of games against hunters as a shaman, your sample size is too small.

Just swapped a Windspeaker for the Crazed Alchemist.

Would appreciate any thoughts.
