Missing Y’shaarj

This deck looks like a lot of fun. Last night he was about to lose against Jade Druid (Tidesoftime) when N’zoth brought back two Crystalline Oracles and then drew him the only cards left in Tide’s deck: Jade Idol.

I’ve been playing the silence priest that’s on Hearthpwn and I’m not really a fan of the Auchenai and CIrcle of Healing (though I may keep one circle because that came in handy, but Auchenai only won me one game).

Anyway, that list runs Bittertide Hydras so you might try those in place of Shadow Visions. Less draw but another powerful card to silence.

I’ve only played this deck a handful of times, but loving Hammer of Twilight in it. By the time I am swinging with it, the game is usually ending so it’s better to not have the overload. The 4/2 has even helped in a couple games.

This is the same deck I’m playing in Wild -2 devolve and +2 crackle. At 65% winrate currently but Pirate Warriors (most common match-up) are unfavorable.

I had to look through this list three times to realize I wasn’t seeing things.

No elemental destruction in control shaman? Well, I’m excited to try this deck out nonetheless.

Midrange Shaman is a direct counter to Aggro Shaman, so maybe you are playing wrong?

Anyone still preferring this variant to the other aggro shamans? I swapped out Leeroy for Ancestral Knowledge because even though that draw sometimes won me the game, it was more often than not either a dead card, or it overloaded me to the point that I couldn’t pull off lethal the next turn after drawing (e.g. Doomhammer + Rockbiter).

I feel like the vast majority of the time, this deck loses to the aggro shaman that includes spirit claws and flamewreathed faceless so I’m probably going to swap over to one of those, but I’m curious if anyone else is still having success with this one.

I could be way off here (haven’t played the deck, only watched streamers) but I think Jaraxxus weakens the mirror which you’ll be seeing a lot of.

Interesting to take out Doomhammer. Literally every close game for me has come down to some sort of Doomhammer shenanigans to get the win.

I realize my list is closer to Zorkthar’s also on the front page (still no pirates). Currently testing this and the other face shaman. Thanks!

This is very similar to a deck I am having mild success with.

I don’t have the pirates, but instead go for spell damage with Thalnos, Spirit Claws, and Lava Burst.

I actually thought about cutting one myself. You don’t really need it early and by late game you are getting them so frequently that using a deck slot for double seems like overkill.

This deck looks like a good shell for the new Dragon Priest when MSG comes out.

I’m curious how this fares compared to / against Midrange Shaman. It seems like a good pick for the sheer speed of matches, but that overall it is not as reliable as midrange.

I don’t know about Renolock in the current meta; it has an unfavorable or, at best, even matchup with just about everything except Control Warrior. But, I do wonder if Eater of Secrets might be a good one of to improve the hunter matchup.

What ranks are you playing it at? How does it fare against popular meta decks?

If you look at his stats, he had almost 30 games against shaman and close to a 50% win rate.

The big key to this deck, it seems, is it crushes hunter and warrior which there are a ton of right now (also does well against mage)

To be fair, Malylock has always been a difficult deck to pilot.

I believe it puts spells before minions in every case.
