Mulligans

Hi there! When I created this deck I was thinking about a fun deck to play with my friends, but after some games I found it surprisingly solid and so I started to refine it until I came to this form (even if it may change in the future). This is a combo deck which relies on the Windfury mechanic, with very large minions such as Flamewreathed Faceless. The Flametongue Totem and Rockbiter Weapon are great ways to buff the attack of your minions, taking advantage off the windfuries.
To make your combo as efficient as possible, the opponent’s board can’t be able to takedown your minions and so it is important to have some ways to burst through Taunts and dangerous boards: Hex , Lightning Storm , Earth Shock are the removals I found most efficient against the current meta.

Windfury Shaman Mulligan Guide and Strategy

Tunnel Trogg is an instant-keeper as it offer great pressure in early stages, Totem Golem is a great tempo play because 4 life is very hard to deal with efficiently, and it contributes to the Tunnel Trogg already. Windfury should be kept always, but if you think your opponent is playing an agrresive deck, mulligan it if your other cards aren’t good enough. Rockbiter Weapon is a good choice because it can help clearing the first opponent minons or buffing a Windfury minon of yours. Finally, Lightning Storm is a reasonable keep against classes which can be playing aggro decks at the moment such as Hunter, Warlock and Shaman.

Windfury Shaman Play Strategy

As this deck is flexible, it can play an agressive role asking answers constantly from your opponent, but also a midrange style when you need more power in the middle stages of the game. It is very important to takeover the board in the first turns, giving the opportunity to control the board until a combo is ready. Notice that the combos in this deck are not the only win condition, and there is not only one combo to be made. The main objective of the deck is to play huge minions and give them Windfury to deal great damage to your opponent. There are also small buffs in the attack of the minions which get lots of value in the Windfury.
In the process of building the combo, there is no need to commit on a large board so AoE effects shouldn’t be effective against you, instead, try to play around one-minion removals that can takeout your buffed Windfury minons.
I added Doomhammer beacause it is a very effiecient way to clear small minions and protect your board, it buffs Tunnel Trogg and it is really powerful with Rockbiter Weapon to finish the remaining life in your opponent.
Eternal Sentinel is good in this deck because there can be some heavy-Overloaded turns and so this card maintains a clear curve. Mana Tide Totem is your card draw power so play it when the board is safe or when you need to cycle for combo cards.

Windfury Shaman Card Substitutions

A very important card in this deck is Tunnel Trogg and there is absolutely no substitution for this card.

– Eternal Sentinel : Lava Shock is a great sub, you have one less minion on board but actually in some situations it is better dealing 2 damage than having a 3/2 in the field.

– Leeroy Jenkins : He is a top quality finisher but you might just substitute him with Reckless Rocketeer or Argent Commander . Argent Horserider is also an option if you want to lower down a little bit the curve on the deck.

Windfury Shaman Combos and Synergies

Windfury and Windspeaker are the main cards for the combo, and they can be used in any of the big minions to generate damage. There is not a estabilished combo but different ways to build up.

Of course, the ideal situation would be having Leeroy Jenkins with doubleAbusive Sergeant , Windfury and maybe even Rockbiter Weapon , dealing 26 damage! With Flametongue Totem in play you can even reach OTK.

The cool thing about the combos thought, is that the damage can be speaded throughout more minions, without depending on a exact hand of cards to make a exact combo.

And that’s about it! I’d love to see support from the community so please comment about this deck if you have any doubt or if you would change something 😉

    Nice Nice this deck is pretty amazing and funny.
    i found out it is pretty strong against control decks.
    i still changed abusive sergant for feral spirit because of getting some defense for tunnel trog to keep him save some rounds and i think he is not really necesary because you alredy do a lot of damage with the windfury and the flametoungle combo you always do around 14-20 damage in combination .
    but in all this deck gona be my new favorite shaman deck thx

      I was heartbroken when I realised I woudn’t be able to put Feral Spirits into the deck but I really enjoyed Abusive Sergent to add up damage in the combo and to remove early threatening minions… Is it working out for you ? And thanks for the feedback!

    Good job for this deck, I really had fun playing it and it works surprisingly very well ! It feels refreshing to play under-used cards like Windfury or Windspeaker 🙂
