Mulligans
General Mulligans
Best options for establishing board control and creating some new elemantals. Voltaic Burst with Totem can clear a board and give you early control.
Here we have a fun shaman deck with multiple win conditions that holds its own against aggro and can pull off some fun finishes from evolves + bloodlust against other midrange/control decks. Combines parts of elemantals and evolve so you aren’t too one dimensional/reliant on one condition.
General aggro mulligans are the norm here. Fire Fly’s plus Flamtongue/Knife Juggler or Earthen Might on early elementals to establish board control.
The only card draw here is Cult Master which pairs with Voltaic Burst quite well. Thunderhead and Lightning Storm make for great board clear.
Murmuring Elemantal can be combined with several different Battlecrys but is most effective with DK Thrall. It hasn’t been to hard to hold a board going into turn 7 when it can be combo’d.
Arcane Dynamo thrown in as I don’t have The Storm Bringer and it can be rolled easily or for a Volcano if you’re losing board.
Electra can be used multiple ways most easily with BL for win but also Lightning storm for clear or even Earthen Might if you need a quick 7/7 body and some more elemantals.
If you roll a Radiant Elemantal from Nimbus or Might you can use free unstable evolution’s to max your board out which feels so broken/fun when it happens.
Was getting stuck at 11 with this deck this week but after breaking 10 I’ve used it only to get to 8 with pretty solid winrates.
Good subs would be Storm Bringer for Dynamo. Blood Knight is great tech right now but could be subbed. Manatide for Cult Master if you prefer that for draw.
Thanks for checking it out!
I’ve been mucking about with something similar WITH The Storm Bringer… but to be honest, it’s a bit hit and miss; more hit than miss thankfully – it’s won me more games than it’s lost but you need to be able to generate/hold a wide board before you drop it, otherwise it’s pretty ropey.
I had forgotten about Murmuring Elly though; combined with Giggling Inventor that should be able to create just such a wide, reasonably sticky board (if you’ve not already used it with Thrall)…
Storm Chaser might be a consideration instead of the Dynamo – it costs 2 less, has the same stats and tutors Bloodlust instead of giving you a random card… but it’s possibly better with The Storm Bringer.
Def agree it can be hit or miss with more hits than misses. Murmuring + GI has def saved me before too and set up a BL etc if you don’t have evolves handy.
Storm Chaser is a good sub too but I feel like there has been fewer bad Dynamo rolls than the times I’ve been able to pull off a Storm Bringer or save face with Volcano.
Just got electra from a pack and I’ve been saving thrall ever since KoFT, will definitely give this deck a try.
Hope it works out for you! There’s so many substitutes you can go with if you’re missing something but I’m glad something ended up working for me after getting DK thrall and electra as freebies and never really using Thrall before this either. May the RNG be with you.
