Dergachev’s Control Wasp Shaman

Disclamer: bad english

Hi, I’m fellow Shaman enthusiast, I’m playing since beta test. I’m usually playing near high legend, this month I was able to finish top-100.

It’s new take on Control Shaman, it seems that we have decent early game now. With Sandstorm Elemental and Weaponized Wasp, Control Shaman’s stalling power increased a lot. Half-Time Scavenger is probably better now than Twilight Drakes, because we don’t want to collect cards in hand anymore, we can actually play decent early turns. Siamat over Swampqueen Hagatha any day, because he gives us instant impact, it’s cruicial against aggro.Countess Ashmore for additional draw, since it’s minion based control shaman without spirits of the frog. You can include Hagathta instead of it, but last season I tested Ashmore over Swampqueen Hagatha, turned out guaranteed fontains next turn is way better than 2 random spells.

Lack of 6 drops can be fulfilled with new card Khartut Defender or just old good Safeguard, but it’s seems too weak for me. Decks like Cyclone Mage, Control Warrior and Bomb Warrior don’t have 6 drops because there are no good anti-aggro one’s. No need in Zentimo, since we have Plague of Murlocs, but you can definetly try to fit him in. New boardclear Earthquake seems like very late option. Krag’wa, Barista etc. too greed for nowadays meta, maybe they will find their way after Uldum patch.

Feel free to comment and advice, I think we can build decent tier-2 Control Shaman with new expansion.
