Thank you for your activity, that's why we decided to writeup this deck.

This deck is not so easy like it seems. If we lose the board - we lose the game. So, control of the board is a key win condition. 

Mulligan:
1. Argent Squire
2. Totem Golem
3. Can keep Tuskarr Totemic. With a coin always keep.
4. Maelstrom Portal vs Warlocks
5. Can keep Hex vs Shamans because of 7-7
6. If you sure that opponent has no face deck can keep Barnes with a coin
7. Can keep Rockbiter Weapon cs Shamans for Tunnel Trogg.

Replacement:
As you have written in the comments - Al'Akir the Windlord for Doomhammer, you gain all value except taunt, but you can control the board for 5 turns, for example.

Notes:
You play control of the board, so you have to know what can clear the board.

Warriors can clear the board just twice with a Brawl. So, if you play against C'Thun or Control Warrior be sure that he has at least one Brawl in first ten cards. Other Warriors have no mass removal, so you can add all minions you have.

Modern Paladins mostly Murloc or N'Zoth. They have two combos with Equality, so be careful to put all your minions on the board. Other Paladins don't play Equality, just Consecration.

Priests play at least 4 mass removal, but some play all 6. They have Holy Nova for 2 dmg, Excavated Evil for 3 dmg and Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing for 4 dmg. It is worst matchup for this Shaman.

Mages play just Flamestrike, so it is fair to fill the board.

Aggro Shamans now play 1 copy of Maelstrom Portal and 1 copy Lightning Storm. You can meet other version with two copies of these cards, but most of them will play just 1.
Concede Shamans play all kind of removals, so it is bad matchup. 
Totem Shamans you know. :)

Warlocks mostly Zoo without any mass removal, if Reno - he plays 4. 

Rogues, Hunters and Druids have no good cards for clearing the board, so you can feel free to occupy all 7 slots. Just beware of Spell Dmg + Swipe by Druids.

In the end we always add a video by creator of the deck, but couldn't find any games of wiRer. 
Fortunately, we found famous deckbuilder and Pro Player from USA - Strifecro.
He plays the same deck vs C'Thun Warrior and thinking aloud about his moves.
