7th August update: Boltzmann's WILD Pirate Shadow Priest - United in Stormwind
An aggressive priest deck? Other high legend players like Otters have taken this deck forward. This is Boltzmann's version. The most fun I have had with Priest. If it has a chance of beating Warlock, that makes me happy.
From my experience so far: - The best thing about this deck? Mind Blasts to the face. - The most under-rated thing about this deck? Not reading the card text of Voidtouched Attendant and realising how powerful it is. - The funniest thing about this deck? Shadowcloth Needle and Deckhand synergy is GLORIOUS. A Priest making a pirate charge face!
1st August update: Boltzmann's Galakrond Bomb Warrior: Taking on an Odd Warrior bot!
If you are looking for a good all round deck to play before the next expansion, hopefully this Galakrond Bomb Warrior will serve you well. Boltzmann has found success with it against Odd Paladin, Pirate Warrior and Galakrond Shaman. Combo and Reno decks are still tricky - but the bombs can really help.
Playing against bots is incredibly frustrating. In this video, the key game showcased is against an Odd Warrior bot. Or at least I assume it was a bot? At first, I wanted to concede and move on. However, as the game progressed, I became more determined (and curious) to see it through. A very satisfying win. The question of course, is how would a human opponent have played Odd Warrior differently against this deck...
24th July update: RenoJackson's Galakrond Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Lilypad Lurker!
Galakrond Shaman with Lilypad Lurker feels incredibly solid. My Galakrond has a habit of turning up at the right time. Wailing Vapor can also get out of control fast!
18th July update: Boltzmann's WILD N'Zoth Big Spell Mage, ft. Pyros and Frost Lich Jaina!
An honest and fair deck. Great against aggro. N'Zoth can give you additional reach in harder matchups. This deck is not fully optimised, and so remains a work in progress. If you have questions, please reach out to Boltzmann on Twitter (https://twitter.com/boltzmann2718).
17th July update: McMitta's Jade Lotus Alliance, ft. Shudderwock, Blubber Baron, Emperor and Aya?!
Quest Jade Shudderwock Shaman with Witch's Apprentice and Elysiana?
Off-meta and very much 'old-school'. Sometimes it is just nice to play a deck that is not optimal. We spend so much time thinking about optimisation. How about just playing a bunch of cards you enjoy?
Jade Spirit and Jade Chieftan bring back memories. Emperor is a strange inclusion. Bogspine is also a curious inclusion. The deck does not run the Flurgl / Toxfin combo. Blubber Baron is hard to get value from.
In general, whilst it brings back positive memories, this is not what I would call an ideal Jade Shaman list. I lost a lot of games. Still, I had to try it, if only to experience playing Aya again!
16th July update: Daliso Chaponda's Reno C'Thun Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Hogleader & Omega Defender!
C'Thun Shudderwock Shaman! A really fun off-meta deck which allowed me to traverse the diamond wild ladder. I try out two different versions of the deck.
3rd July update: DustyScales' Reno Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Kazakus, Golem Shaper (MVP card!)
Kazakus has been a real MVP addition to this deck. Thanks to DustyScales (https://twitter.com/DustyScales) for the list. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section below, and DustyScales will come back to you!
2nd July update: hsWhiteDelight's N'Zoth Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Archivist Elysiana and Al'ar!
Thanks to hsWhiteDelight for this glorious deck (https://twitter.com/hsWhiteDelight). Deathrattle minions are fun to play. Add the N'Zoth battlecry to the Shudderwock pool, and you have fun times ahead! I really like Archivist Elysiana as a card. It's just too slow in most decks / matchups. I never got a chance to play her. One day though, it will happen!
26th June update: SinisterMe's WILD Malygos Druid, ft. Taunt minions to surprise your opponent!
Need to buy some time? Has your opponent played Loatheb and stopped you from casting spells alongside Malygos? No problem! Play some taunt minions to buy some time!
20th June update: SheikVII's WILD Secrets Hunter: Final push to Legend!
Getting legend with Secrets Hunter? Fantastic. Footage was recorded on my iPad. Sorry that the quality is not great. However, I had to publish something to celebrate my journey to legend. Such a satisfying feeling getting legend with this deck.
19th June update: Shudderwock Shaman: Navigating the Diamond Ladder vs Mages, Paladins & Warlocks!
5 wins and 2 losses with this Shudderwock Shaman deck, whilst traversing the diamond ladder. Any deck that can give me a positive win rate against Secrets Mage is a good deck in my opinion! The footage in the video was recorded before the Stealer of Souls ban went live.
11th June update: SheikVII's WILD Secret Hunter: Traversing the Diamond ladder in style!
After the Wailing Caverns mini-set released, I tried the Wild ladder and went up against a Stealer of Souls Warlock. After that, I transferred to Standard. I wasn't sure how long I would stay away from Wild.
5th June update: Boltzmann's Standard Control Shaman: ft. Mutanus, Al'Akir and C'Thun!
Thanks to Boltzmann (https://twitter.com/boltzmann2718) for this cool control Shaman deck. I am happy to play Standard for a short period, whilst waiting for Wild to settle. This also feels rather refreshing!
This is a work in progress for Boltzmann, with the potential to cut C'Thun and Malygos. The Al'Akir 22 damage burst combo should be enough to close out most games. However, you have plenty of other interesting combos / interactions too.
30th May update: Boltzmann's WILD Totem Shaman, ft. Grand Totem Eys'or
Totems, totem buffs and wide boards! Fun times with a cool Boltzmann (https://twitter.com/boltzmann2718) deck. Sometimes counting lethals is hard. So please excuse the misplays ;-)
Boltzmann provided me with an awesome guide to playing the deck. That is covered in the first few minutes of the video. This deck feels different and unique in the current meta. Boltzmann is 13-0 with this deck!

16th July update: Daliso Chaponda's Reno C'Thun Shudderwock Shaman, ft. Hogleader & Omega Defender!
C'Thun Shudderwock Shaman! A really fun off-meta deck which allowed me to traverse the diamond wild ladder. I try out two different versions of the deck.
1) One version from Daliso Chaponda (https://twitter.com/dalisochaponda)
2) A second version from Dusty Scales (https://twitter.com/DustyScales), which offers some further survivability against aggro.
Please note:
- These are both off-meta decks
- C'Thun is not at all necessary in Shudderwock Shaman from a competitive standpoint. C'Thun is simply awesome, and therefore fun.
