Nice looking deck, and that is it, it looses every game out there…
Secret mage, you wish you where not playing
Spitefull priest, oh well good luck in matching his creatures…
Warlock, control or cubelock autoconcede, dont bother trying
Warrior, oh wow you can win that, errh no he is playing pirates, another autoloss
Druid, autoconcede, dont bother trying
Paladin, autoconcede, dont bother trying
Rogue, he will deck you and still be at 30 when you are out…
nah sorry man this is looking fun and it is fun to play, it just won’t win unless you draw perfectly and even then most decks are autoloss, you lack draw and tempo
I don’t know man, No offense at all, maybe its because you’re playing the deck incorrectly?
Secret mage is all based on if they draw aluneth or not, but its a 50/50 match up usually, with your heal, its a decent match up.
Spiteful priest is definitley a hard match up, il give you that.
Warlock is pretty much in your favour, devolve and hex can really shut them down, especially control warlock, when you hex 1 or both there void lords.
Warrior is the easiest by far, you have board clears, single target removal, and cheap taunts. I run hotspring guardians in my deck, and its working wonders.
Druid is fine, jade druid can be beat if you just run giest, as for aggro druid, again, refer back to warrior.
Paladin again refer back to aggro druid and warrior, its just easy to beat aggro decks, i love facing aggro decks because all you need to do is just board clear, Maelstrom portal, volcano, kalimos himself, if you really hate them, then you can even run a lightning storm.
Mill rogue is a hard matchup i agree with that.
Please don’t give me the ”If they draw the nuts you lose” because that the case with every deck out there, its how card games work. Instead of this list, you can change it up a bit?
In mine i run 2 hotspring guardians, 1 fire ele, 1 blaze caller, 2 mana tides. I’ve been playing this deck a long with Control mage, and its not only been a blast, but I’ve been steadily climbing up the ladder. Is it a legend deck? probably not, at test it can get you to rank 5, but is it fun to play on ladder? absolutely.
I think you underestimate Secret Mage completely. Aluneth is an autowin for sure. You’ll need it vs. Warlock’s and Control Mage’s but this Shaman will get rekt easily without it.
Agreed, aluneth is the icing on the cake, but most matches against mage is problematic when they get those secrets fast they will burn you out before you get much in, dont forget that they have minions as well and counterspells will just slow you down even if you play around them.
Tbh, when i play control lock against shaman i dont care that you hex my voidlords, I will sac rin, and then delete half of your deck and win by fatigue, easy enough.
Added lightning storms and hotspring, and the legend healer and the match up is definetly better against aggro, draw is still an issue however.
That’s a legend deck.
I climbed from 2700 to 700 with it and posted it on twitter: https://twitter.com/Protagon1st_hs/status/972071750899875842
Someone posted my deck here after that.
And yes, I should agree that spiteful priest and mill rogue are tough matchups. You can win against both of them but it’s tough.
This is one of the key cards in my deck. It’s draw and a weapon removal at the same time.
You need to add ooze to remove weapons since it’s more important against mages and warlocks.
You always look for devolve against priest. Jade claws are not that important, it’s better to mulligan for jade lighting. Usually, volcano is pretty good too.
Kalimos is very important because it combines with your murmuring elementals, Grumble, etc.
12 dmg burst or heal for 24 can easily decide the game. You can try to substitute him with lich king or smth like that.
Usually, it’s a pretty easy matchup. Always mulligan for devolve and jade claws. You have a lot of cheap spells to deactivate counterspell. Use your aoe and healing rain after that.
And you should hardly mulligan for Harrison, this won’t allow mages to outburn all your heal.

Just saying.. 😉
Btw Healing Rain is just too slow in my opinion.

It’s loses, not looses… can’t take you seriously…
Whats a good substitute for harrison?
This is one of the key cards in my deck. It’s draw and a weapon removal at the same time.
You need to add ooze to remove weapons since it’s more important against mages and warlocks.
I’m having good success swapping the servants for coldlights and skulking geist for Zola.
In this case, you make your warlock matchups better but I prefer some minions to pressure my opponents. Also, 4 attack is good against priest.
What should i mulligan/keep vs the priest matchup? Jade claws and devolve?
You always look for devolve against priest. Jade claws are not that important, it’s better to mulligan for jade lighting. Usually, volcano is pretty good too.
I didn’t know that my deck was here. You can check out my stream almost every day: https://www.twitch.tv/protagoniist
Is it possible to run this deck without Kalimos? Maybe Al’Akir in its place?
Kalimos is very important because it combines with your murmuring elementals, Grumble, etc.
12 dmg burst or heal for 24 can easily decide the game. You can try to substitute him with lich king or smth like that.
I am having alot of trouble with the secret/aggro mages, what am i supposed to do versus them or is it just an insta loss?
Usually, it’s a pretty easy matchup. Always mulligan for devolve and jade claws. You have a lot of cheap spells to deactivate counterspell. Use your aoe and healing rain after that.
And you should hardly mulligan for Harrison, this won’t allow mages to outburn all your heal.
