Hello guys, thanks for stopping by, i wanted to share this with you and potentially get help in upgrading this deck. As every other shaman player I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to figure out the best deck for shaman currently, and still couldn’t find many things that would be able to bring shaman to the top. Recently, while i saw many players giving up on the jade part of the deck, I’ve decided to give up on the elemental part, and check it’s gonna turn out. I’ve came to a conclusion that there’s only 1 way, you can either play full elemental or full jade, mixing them both just takes too much of your deck and u don’t get that much in return.
As you can see the deck is mostly based on the jades, and i can say after playing around 30-40 games with it, the deck is not bad at all. Nevertheless it feels better then the regular hybrid elemental-jade shaman you’re used to see right now but it can be that only I’m the one that thinks that. So I’d like you all to try this out, and give me a feedback, tell me what you think about it, how it works for you in the game, anything you would suggest for a change, etc.
I need some more time to play in order to come to exact mulligan, and be able to share it with you.
Well I’m not saying he would disappoint me, what I’m trying to create here, is more of a midrange/control version, I’m not a big fan of aggro decks, I’ve liked the deck I’ve seen from the Rdu on HGG but ye there’s no list so I don’t know completely what’s in there. Been able to track around 19 cards before the game ended, and with some logic of mine I was able to fill the gaps, but still I’m missing a few cards to finish it completely. It basically runs no elementals and can’t confirm the hot spring guardian because I didn’t see it, it might’ve been in the last 11 cards, too bad HGG decklists can’t be seen. š
I have found that you have to fully commit to either the jade or elemental package. Both packages are capable tremendous value so trying to squeeze in both makes the deck feel bloated and unwieldy.
If you go with jade, first drop the elementals this will free up room for 2 Flame Tongues and Primal Fin Totems to help with the early game. Swap out Jade Spirit for Lotus Agents. You will likely discover Aya or another Lotus Agents, this alone wins games. Stonehill Defender is a nice include it synergizes well with Spirit Echo and I would include more of those as well in addition to card draw like Cult Master. I commonly see jades as large as 12/12 with a similar build. You should run over the ladder with deck enjoy.
So basically you say to remove the Fire Flies, Fire Elementals and Kalimos, which gives me 5 card spots, and to put 2nd Flametongue and 2x Primalfin Totems there, and for the other 2 to place Stonehill Defenders and to swap Jade Spirits for Lotus Agents. And If I’ve figured out right, to swap the Hot Spring Elementals for 2nd Spirit Echo and Cult Master. Problem with that Hot Spring swap is that I’m afraid there’s too many pirate warriors which will overrun me if I don’t include some early game taunts, and I don’t know if the Stonehill is enough. I’ll have to think about this tho, thanks a lot.
I love Stonehill, he is two taunts in one and will discover Hot Spring Elemental, there is no downside to adding it to your deck. Give him a try you won’t be disappointed.

PS. Accidentally made a new comment instead replying to yours, so imma just copy it again, went a bit dumb lmao š
Btw, I’m trying to find a replacement for Bloodmage Thalnos, since I don’t have him in my collection and I can’t craft him atm, 2 lightning storms, maelstroms, mana tide totems and volcanos are already in the deck, have any good substitute in mind? Later imma update the deck without the elementals, when I figure out some replacements.
