NEW! --> Jade Control Shaman! http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/699861-msofg-control-jade-shaman

Update: Deck was modified after the nerf patch!
Deck Guide:
This deck's goal is to exhaust your opponent early on and then start dropping huge minions to reach victory.
Now I will explain why I picked each card and what are the combos:
Ancestral Spirit: your mvp card, play it on any of the 4+ mana minions in this deck to gain double the value. Place one on one of the taunt wall minion vs Aggro and its gg.
Lava Shock: your get rid of the overload card, you always want to see it in your hand. Keep it at mulligan with Elemental Destruction for that sweet board clear.
Stormcrack: gets rid of any of the powerful 4 health minions like Totem Golem, Frothing Berserker, Imp Gang Boss ..etc and can deal with bigger minions with spell damage totem on the field.
Elemental Destruction: best board clear in the game, always keep it with Lava Shock in your hand. When you are on low health, you can drop Hallazeal the Ascended then use it for a field clear+ Reno Jackson effect.
Healing Wave: this card will act as 14+ health since you have a lot of high cost minions in the deck. Works great vs aggro decks, and also fatigue decks.
Hex: you are a threat, and now your are a frog! great card vs control / fatigue decks, gets rids of all their big targets. Always keep it in hand vs Zoo Warlock and Aggro Shaman though, mainly for Darkshire Councilman, Sea Giant, Doomguard and me XD Flamewreathed Faceless.
Lightning Storm: field clear vs Zoo Warlock and Aggro Shaman's early minions.
Tuskarr Totemic: he is here for the value he generates Totem Golem, Flametongue Totem, Mana Tide Totem and Wrath of Air Totem. Also he will fool your opponent into thinking that you are playing Aggro Shaman. Reduces Thing from Below's cost faster. RIP
Flamewreathed Faceless: Need a win?
Earth Elemental: wall number one, very hard to deal with, especially when Ancestral Spirit is casted on it. Copy it with Faceless Manipulator for extreme value with no drawbacks.
Hallazeal the Ascended: Reno Jackson
Thing from Below: 0 mana 5/5, wall number two
Faceless Manipulator: copy one of your big guys or one of your opponent's big guys for just 5 mana. Very flexible cards that can flip the game in your favor quickly.
Cairne Bloodhoof: one of the best deathrattle minions in the game, cast Ancestral Spirit on it for four free minions.
Emperor Thaurissan: he is just here to discount your cards and make pulling insane combos easier.
Sylvanas Windrunner: she doesn't have time for games! same high value as Cairne Bloodhoof
Bog Creeper: Bogchamp, your third huge wall. At this point of the game, your opponent will have very low to no options to get rid of it. Its a huge wall with no overload drawback like Earth Elemental but they are the backbone of this deck!
If you want any more info added to this guide, please tell me! Enjoy!
Good to hear! thanks for trying the deck :) now you are hooked haha.
For the changes: I think that 1 Faceless Shambler is a good addition to the deck, 2 of them will just set in your hand as a 1/1 if you dont have a minion with good amount of health on the board, for example: you cleared the board and still have 7 mana left, in this case Faceless Shambler will be a dead card and you will lose tempo.
Mana Tide Totem and Ragnaros the Firelord are great additions, nothing to say about them ^
For mulligan, always look for [card]Lightning Storm[/card] and [card]Elemental Destruction[/card] to clear the board early on, especailly vs aggro decks which is like 80% of the ranked ladder. For other type of decks like combo and control, look for Hex.

Hi,
I like the deck. Been having a good time rolling up those zoo and aggro decks on ladder. :)
I was wondering if you have tried this with Far Sight and/or Ancestral Knowledge. I feel like the deck needs card draw to come up with early answers.
Also, I'm not really feeling Sylvanas. Have you tried replacing her?
Thanks for the deck anyways!
That's great! Thanks for the comment. I am always happy to hear that zoo decks are getting crushed XD
You can replace sylvanas with 1 mana tide totem or 1 far sight, I dont recommend ancestral knowledge because of this fast meta and you dont need to overload yourself as much as possible especially vs sggro decks.
If you have any more questions or suggestions, I am all ears.
sweet deck
use ancestral spirit on anything really good
save spells for when haallazeal is summoned
use faceless mani on ancestral spirited minions
win
Thanks! Glad that you like it
