Im gonna try to build a form of this deck once i get the rest of naxx expac, but i will still lack the 3 legendaries listed (Grommash, Dr. Balanced and Sir Murloc) are there any okay replecements for them? i barely have legendaries (only have malygos and Emperor as of now, but plan to get all the naxx legedaries soon) so are cards like loatheb and kelthuzad and even emperor any good to replace the legendaries i lack for this deck? also, any good substitute for armorsmith? only have about 500 dust and dont wanna spend them crafting such a specific card, was planning on getting a couple of knife jugglers or something like that,

 

Thanks in advanced biggrin.png

This deck isn't really viable without all the late-game power. You could try Loatheb, KT, Shredders and a Cruel Taskmaster, but the deck will have much lower winrate than it would have with all the needed cards.

Armorsmith is used in Control Warrior, Dragon Warrior, Midrange Patron, Fatigue Warrior and Reno Warrior. I don't really think you will miss the dust.

Why Kor'kron Elite over Piloted Shredder?

They can be used as finishers, board control tool, if you're racing for damage they also help.

 

Anyway, I played patron from rank 14 to rank 3 with 60%+ winrate. Paladins and druids are still easy to beat, but this deck does extremely well against face shamans, Renolock (they run only 2 or 3 AOEs and you simply out tempo them), Priests often don't have that much board clears or they have to waste lightbomb on a Frothing (happened a few times). 

 

Although this deck is still very powerful, the more I play it the more I miss Warsong, it's such a shame they nerfed it like that sad.png

what can i substitute for sir finly and gromash. I'm thinking loatheb and cruel taskmaster, but I'm also thinking gorehowl instead of taskmaster, since it would make a better substitute for gromash.

Gorehowl is not really a replacement for Grom. Taskmaster, 2nd Corsair, and Loatheb are the best cards to go into the deck if you're making changes.

So i'm short a grom hellscream at the moment. I do however have a leeroy, would that be a viable replacement for the burst damage? granted it's not near the power of grom. It's the best I have and the only thing missing from this deck build is my lack of a grom. thanks in advance. cheers.

Did you read the comment above you? It answers the question you ask. If you are too lazy, the recommended minions are Taskmaster, Corsair and Loatheb.

Trying to learn this deck by playing in casual at the moment and having fun from the off. Can anyone recommend good YT vids or archived Twitch streams for this one? The guide is great and all but there's nothing like seeing someone who knows what they're doing actually play the deck.

 

Coming across a LOT of Face Shamans and thinking that Harrison Jones might be an excellent thing to have right now. What should I drop for him? I'm thinking probably Finley because he's not much use in these matchups anyway.

 

Small thing: The guide text mentions Loatheb but he's not in the build.

Sottle, have you played this one on stream? And have you considered linking guides to your archived Twitch videos?

I can recommend StrifeCro's video of him playing Midrange Patron (he has more of them, so you can look for those). 

That would be a reasonable swap, but your winrate will go down a bit against non-aggro decks.

So I ran into the original creator of this deck, Crane333, on ladder yesterday, and he told me that he has stopped using this particular build a long time ago. He said finley isn't that great and that he now plays belcher, cruel task, and shredders over kor'krons. Just an FYI if you are thinking of updating this decklist.

I also dropped Finley for a Belcher and swapped the Elites for Shredders. I just about prefer the Shredders but there's not a lot in it. Sometimes you really miss the Elites but the Shredders are better on curve I think.

 

I love this deck. The synergies in it are just insane. A Berserker just solo'd a game for me at 11 attack on turn 6 and 18 on turn 7, thanks to his Imp-losions and my Death's Bite and Unstable Ghoul. One dead Zoolock on turn 7. And I still had seven cards in my hand, including both Patrons and Grom. I'm looking at the replay in disbelief.

Belcher instead of finley, shredders over kor'krons, so what does cruel task replace?

 Any thoughts on the viability of this deck in standard? Shredders can be swapped back to Kor'krons, Dr. 7 can easily be replaced by any large threat, but Death's Bite will be hard to replace. I've been experimenting with a simple Arcanite, but it simply doesn't have that effect.

Hi! I just opened Grommash in arena award, and I have all except second frothing berserker, how can I replace it? Thanks.

You can use any card from the swap section, but I am sure that you can find 100 dust somewhere hidden in bad cards.

it took me one day to translate that sentence, please don't omit "dust" next time. I'll try to use kor'kron elite, saving dust for some more rare card.

Oh, sorry. I gotta admit that I wasn't perfectly sober when I made that sentence.

Although Kor'kron might save you dust, Frothing has simply higher value and can grow huge, especially in aggro/pally meta.

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
