The strongest deck in Hearthstone just got a new variant, and it's looking very promising. Xixo's aggro shaman has been dominant for months, so you can believe that this version is a force to be reckoned with.
Wanna rank up at high speed? If this deck doesn't do it, you will only have yourself to blame. After all, XiXo lost 5 or 6 games from rank 5 to legend rank 1:
Yeah. It's that good.
Emm... where is 4 mana 7\7? Where is Sir Finly?
They have been replaced by minions with spell damage, because of Spirit Claws.
Bloodmage Thalnos replacement i have most of all cards but unfortunately not this one :/
Unfortunately no card comes close to being as good, but Kobold Geomancer comes closest to having the same function.
Well i like it, but, it's depend on RNG, if we have good start hand we can win, depends what our opponent got in his hand.
So, had few matchup with dragon warrior and lost them, but with midrange hunters/zoolock/discard locks its pretty easy. Priest is anthr hard matchup for us, expecially ressurect priest. But it's depends really what we draw.
Overall good deck, like all old aggro shamans deck, but with Spirit Claws and Maelstrom Portal . I've tried also Leeroy Jenkins, kinda works, kinda dead card if we draw this to early.
edit: from 9 to 12 rank ;/ well maybe in legend this deck is good, but 17-> 1 ..idk.
Yes on all fronts. A Resurrect Priest will need good early draws, but they do tend to tend to wear you out. But this deck is all about punishing midrange and zoo. Thankfully there are tonnes of decks like that.
It is kinda frustrating that you win so easily against some decks and lose so hard to others, but you can't argue with the winrate in this meta.
yup, sound analysis... err...
that the deck runs out of steam quicker than you can say the word is the issue, something tempo rogue and zoo can manage due to natural draw abilities, if you don't get that you should check the most important mechanic of every cardgame: card advantage... this deck is horrible at it. Drawing 1 card from Azure in turn 5 is not card draw that is a bonus cantrip...
And if you think noone is playing priest you should check your meta again, they are everywhere on every lvl
If you want card advantage, you should be playing a control deck. The most popular version of aggro shaman (from HotMeowth) before Spirit Claws came out ran literally no card draw and was highly successful. Card draw is an important mechanic, but less important when the game has been won or lost by turn 7.
About 10% of people are playing Priest at rank 15. That changes to 3% by the time you get to legend. As I said before, if you're seeing a lot of Priest, you're at a rank where you should be able to outplay people, rather than letting yourself get done in by their board clears.
If by everywhere on every level you mean about 6% of the meta with only 3% being control priest than you're right. Check your facts bro.

winning not that easy tbh getting swept by tempo mage all the way, not enough agression and not enough draw. Priest just wipes your board and heals at the same time, very difficult game.
both are very popular...
tbh it is uplayable on ladder at low lvls, every game is an uphill struggle as boardclears just end the game right there.
This has more card draw than most aggro shamans, and it's one of the most aggressive decks in the game. Do you often play aggro shaman? Because 80% of this deck is the same as the one that's been tearing up the ladder for months.
According to your reasoning, Zoolock should also be a terrible deck. And Tempo Rogue. Both were pretty strong last time I checked.
Tempo Mage is good a matchup for this deck, and while Priest is a naturally anti-aggro class, it's also the least popular class on ladder. Frankly, if you're struggling to get out of the ranks when people are still playing Priest, the problem isn't the deck.
Sounds like you're playing the deck to value-oriented. In all aggro decks that are not warlock, you will often run out of steam if you're trading too often. I used this exactly list to climb to rank 12 on day 2 and then from 12-8 on day 3 and I'm far from a top player. This deck is definitely not unplayable at all.
