That’s because shudderwock is not the win condition. It is just a versatile
card here. This one wants to win just like the classic mid shaman–strong minions on curve and powerful overloads.
That said, I’m not convinced it is great for the meta before us, with so many decks that are just crazy explosive fast, or too controlling.
This is probably the better version of a shudder shaman deck. That being said why sandbinder when there are so many weak elementals that could be drawn? I think servant of kalimos would be better personally. Also, I don’t quite understand the bloodlusts. Did anybody watch this on stream that could enlighten me
Didn’t watch the strem, but if I had to guess I’d say that the Bloodlust is there for sudden burst damage against decks that otherwise might post a problem. For example, if you land a few totems, fireflies, etc early against a cubelock that doesn’t wipe them, you can probably OTK the deck befor ethey can land a Skull or Lackey combo to get a Voidlord. This probably also works in late games against other decks if you have a couple creatures and need to push 6-9 more damage through. I’m a bit skeptical about having two copies, but there’s enough merit for the card to take up at least one slot.

This seems like it’s just an unfocused shudder wock deck

Shudderwock has a nasty habit of being at the bottom of your deck. I’m guessing the sandbinder is to thin your deck.
