Totem Shaman Mulligan Guide
Totem Shaman is a deck that relies on having board control early and quickly snowballing out of control. This makes it important to use your mulligan to find key cards to help make that happen.
- General Mulligan — Totemic Reflection, Tour Guide, Surging Tempest, Cagematch Custodian.
- Mulligan Against Aggro — Lightning Bloom
- Mulligan Against Control — No additional cards required
Totem Shaman Strategy
With Totem Shaman, you should try to sequence your early game cards to get yourself a board as quickly a possible, following up any totem that stick to the board with Totemic Reflection, Totemic Surge, Totemic Might, and Splitting Axe. If you are unable to immediately take the board your can either use Tour Guide to discount your Hero Power for the following turn or Lightning Bloom to siphon Mana from your next turn via the Overload mechanic. Once you have the board populated with strong Totems you can quickly close out the game with Bloodlust or with the sheer power of your Totems alone.
Against Aggro, you are much less likely to secure the board early. Make full use of the Mana manipulation effects of Lightning Bloom and Tour Guide to ensure you are still able to begin buffing your Totems. Once your do have the board, you should make additional value trades to take advantage of Healing Totems until you can finally finish off your opponent.
Against Control, it is highly likely your opponent will be able to deal with your initial aggression. To account for this, you should try to pair some of your combos together a bit more optimally, such as pairing Totemic Reflection or Splitting Axe with Totem Goliath where possible.
