The Lich King has tailor-made this battle for Evolve synergy with his Shaman targeted Necrotic Plague.
I was inspired by DarthNihilus’s deck on HearthPwn for the creation of this deck and guide! If you don’t have a lot of the Murlocs (Sir Finley is totally unnecessary), you can run a more Jade-centric version.
Mulligan
Murloc Tidecaller is really good early especially when you can pair him with Brrrloc and other cheap Murlocs. Murloc Tinyfin isn’t bad as long as you have some Murloc buffs like Grimscale Oracle and Rockpool Hunter.
The Lich King – Shaman Play Strategy
You are really looking to hold off The Lich King’s early minions with Brrrloc and snowball the board into enough damage to finish him off before turn 6 or 7.
Murloc Tidecaller is the ideal first play, you can then follow him up with your other cheap Murlocs. Brrrloc is really important because you want to protect Tidecaller at all costs. Primalfin Totem is another solid follow up that can give you some disposable minions to trade with Flametongue Totem and buff up Tidecaller. If he plays Obliterate early on Tidecaller you’re likely better of just restarting because it’s tough to win without him.
The idea is to continue to lock down the board from TLK and get a nice big board so you can play Everyfin is Awesome. Remember to count how much you can reduce the card by, there will be times where you can play another Murloc and get an extra buff target. This deck can’t really come back well if TLK has the board, so while you can get some draw with Ice Fishing if you don’t have the board you’re in big trouble.
If all has gone well you should be going into turn four or five with a pretty large board and hopefully you will have hit a Bloodlust by then. If you aren’t yet ready to finish him off, it might be time to use Evolve. I found that he normally plays Blizzard on curve, so if your board is weak then it’s going to get destroyed. If you think you can pull it off still, then you can go into his Frostmourne turn and play Devolve. That will end the phase, but he will still have a board of usable minions. Hopefully you’ll be able to finish the job at that point!
Take about 4 or 5 tries looking a good begin hand… and easycake when it happens, thanks!
Works, but you have to get very lucky. I had to try it 15-20 times.
I would kiss you if I could! After whole 48 hours trying to figure out how to win (and probably more than 100 tries), I found this deck and managed to win in the 3rd try, so thank you a lot!
I can’t explain to you the frustration I’ve had trying to beat the LK with Shaman. Four days I’ve been trying out various decks (my own and others’ suggestions). They all took ridiculous combos that were nearly impossible to draw. THIS deck was a miracle! Three restarts to pull Tidecaller, Everyfin on turn 4, devolve after Frostmourne (thankfully only procked one small taunt), plus bloodlust on turn 8….toast. Thank you SO much for ending my misery!
Got it second try with this deck. Turn 5 I actually had 15 more Damage on board than required for lethal.
Thanks!!
1st try, turn 10 lethal, easiest LK game ever. Screw all the noobs who cry about LK. Murlocs kill him ez pz
Tried a bunch of other Shaman decks with no success.
Tried this first time, won in 5 turns. Coincidence? I think not.
Won 1st try, yeah maybe i was lucky, but i didnt even have “devolve” what should be total useful on 7th round, but i gone forward, and on around 10th round i won it.
I think you need a perfectly drawn opening hand to win. You’ll be restarting over and over again. Lucky for the players who made it on their first try.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i hate that boss!
First try! Thanks!
For Druid this deck worked for me
Ysera, Living Mana and Power of the Wild gave my win after round 7+
(Ysera gave me the card give 5 damage to everyone)

this deck is impossible to win with. There’s no board control , you can’t buff shit when your minions EVEN BUFFED die from his 2 mana cost minions , gtfo with this trash. Why the fuck do you post this shit deck here who requires the luck of gods to MAYBE get lucky enough and have a decent boar and hope the lk DOESN’t have any of his board clear
This is one of the easiest decks to use to beat The Lich King. I’m not sure why you’re having trouble with it because Murlocs beat six out of the nine classes on their own.
not only that I will be reporting you Evident for allowing blantant off handle cursing by posters!!!
Got it first try bro.
i added the murloc quest. i kept running out of card draw. it seems to pick up after that and having the mega fin body really carries since it isnt affect by the lk 1 mana spell.
Ez with this list 2nd try cause 1st was full of missplays tnx
First try! TYVM!
